THE NEW CHIEF OF POLICE.
Major Moore at His New Post Of DUTY.
RECEIVING CONGRATULATIONS DECLINES TO SAY
WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO UNTIL he HAS LOOKED
OVER Tux FIELp-A QUESTION OF TITLE.

COL W. G. Moore appeared at the District gov
ernment Office little after O'Clock this morning.
notlned the Commissioners OF his acceptance OF
the Office OF major and superintendent, and took
the oath OF Office. He had a conference with
commissioner Wheatley, and then proceeded TO
the dingy quarters OF the chief of police, In the
building corner OF 9Th and ID streets He was met
There by Capt. Austin, who turned over TO him the
badge OF Office recently surrendered by Major
Walker, and also turned over the command OF the
police department. The new major at once pro-
ceeded TO familiarize himself with the routine OF
the police department. He went through the
records TO see how they were kept and examined
into all the matters pertaining to his Office. when
asked by STAR reporter whether he proposed TO
make any changes or had yet devised policy, the
colonel said:
Il have no suggestions to make now, and will
nave none to make until have mastered the de-
tails of the Office"
During the morning many persons called to con-
graduate him, and he received also many con-
gratuiatory letters and kilograms
WHAT THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS SAY.
Commissioner Wheatley said to a STAR reporter
to-day: commissioner Webb and myself have
known Col. Moore from boyhood, and OF course did
not nave TO ask any questions about him. He is
Just the man for the place.
commissioner Webb remarked, speaking OF the
appointment: "For my part think Il was a very
Iortunate thing for the city that he consented TO
accept the place."
QUESTION OF TITLE
Is raised by the appointment OF Col Moore. As
head OF the police department his official title is
Major" He is lieutenant colonel OF the District
militia and also held commission as lieutenant
coiOnel OF volunteers. Whether the title OF
major will wipe out his other titles or not is a
matter OF some discussion. Major Dye had held
the rank or brevet bifgadier general, but he was
known after his appointment only as major.
Col. Moore, IL is stated, will have to surrender
the command OF the Washington Light Infantry
corps HE may retire from the command for a
Time, said Commissioner Webb to-day, ssand re-
sumo IL at times when there was special occasion,
such as the competitive drill"
'1e Will have TO give up the command said
Commissioner Wheatley, ''not on account OF any
rule or law, but simply because he will not have
time TO attend to il. Col. Moore and have talked
over the matter, and ii is We'll understood between
U.s."

COMMENCING WoRK.-R. B. Catherwood
one of the principal owners of the mining
property at Palmetto and Silver Peak, was
in town during the week on his way to
| make personal inspection of the mines
The New York and Silver Peak Mining
Company was organized in 1866 In 1863
mill was built and run about three
months, when it was shut down on account
of the unsatisfactory working of the roast
ers and other portions of the machinery
In about three months after the shutdown
the mill was set on fire and burned to the
ground. In 1870 the owners reorganized
with two panies-the New York and
Silver Peak and the New York and Pal
metto Experts were sent out to examine
the property, and the result of their reports
was that patents were obtained on all of
the mines at both Silver Peak and Pal
metto. The mines have been lying idle
for many years, but lis the intention of the
company to at once resume active opera
tons. There is strong probability of an
association of English capitalists investing
in the companies, in which ev Mt two mills
will be built-one on each group. Mr..
Catherwood will make arrangements for
the immediate erection of 10-stamp mill
at Silver Peak. He informed the reporter
that the intention of himself and associates
is to run the mines on thorough and
practical business basis. This will be good
news for the men who have for years lived
in the southern end of the county Cdadc-
iarin True EGssure.

FooD AND CoNscIENcE.-Neyer go to bed
in any danger of being hungry. People
are kept awake by hunger quite as much
as by bad conscience. Remembering
that sleep is the essential force which the
whole scheme starts, decline tea or coffee
within the last six hours before going to
bed. If the womenkind insist you may
have your milk and water at the tea-table
covered with tea: but the less the better.
Avoid all mathematics or intricate study of
any sort in the last six hours This
is the stuff dreams are made of,
and hot heads. and the nuisances
of waking hours Keep your con-
science clear Remember that because the
work of life is infinite, you cannot do the
whole of it in any limited period of time,
and that therefore you may just as well
leave off in one place as another.-Edward

DOES THE PIsroS CONE TO STAND
sTILL At the last meeting of the En-
gineers' Club, of Philadelphia Mr.. Collins
offered the following interesting malhe-
matical conundrum " Does a locomotive
piston at the end of each stroke, in revers-
ing its direction, come to a siandstill. and
if so, can the same be mathematically
demonstrated Also, woulda difference in
speed affect the duration of its stationary
condition, if such exists?' Mr.. Collins
added i" As the crank pin describes a cir
and therefore having at all times more
or less lateral movement, and its movement
being continuous, it is aryued that the pis-
ton can have no movement of rest without
the crank pin coming to rest also, suppos-
ing perfect joints" Yet this much contro-
verted question is still open for debate
among cranks.
