The decision OF the court In the matter of the
mandamus TO compel Recorder Trotter to change
the date OF his Endorsement upon the tax-sale re-
port Is technical victory and substantial defeat
and reouke for the recorder. The proceeding is
dismissed because Collector Cook, In whose name
u Is brought Is not thought 70 De the proper party
TO uovs In the matter, but the opinion rendered
Clearly indicates that In a proper proceeding the
recorder would Be required by the court TO In
dOrse the tax-sale report, which was actually
received on the afternoon OF March 10TH though 10
Is claimed after ONCE hours. with the actual day
and hour OF It's reception. The recorder, since he
IN fact received the report on the 10th, should
have indorsed the truth upon the paper In the first
place. II the endorsement showed that the paper
was received on the 10th after the Office hours ar
bitrarily nxed by the recorder, then II would be

It was not legally received until the next secular
day But the recorder undertook to decide the legal
point for himself, and ruled against the Dis

correcting his law. Between the fees paid the re-
corder by the property Owners OF the District

To-day VIII be celebrated In the maritime world
as the nftieth anniversary OF the beginning Of
steam navigation between Europe and America
The actual beginning, however, occurred nearly
twenty years further back. What has given i'm
portance to the present date Is the circumstance
that on the 23d OF April, 1898, two steamships the
Sirius and the Great western. entered New York
harbor within q few hours OF each other, and be-
San series OF regular periodical transatlantic
voyages in competition Both OF these ships were
OF British build and ownership To America be-
longs the honor OF what really the first expert
Inent, made by the Savannah In 1919 Georgia cor
poration set her afoat, and the man who suggested
the daring enterprise acted as her captain. She
had padde-wheeis 30 arranged as to fold up like
8 fan when not In use, and several other features
which would be considered oddities nowadays;
and the novelty Of so large a vessel-35O tons
with an active smokestack, created a sensation In
British waters, where one revenue cutter chased
her whole day under the mistaken impression
that she was OF IRE. Her voyage lasted about
three weeks How puny this beginning seems by
comparison with what has come since when ships
Of ten thousand tons burden make a crossing In
less than seven daysI And yet the greatest won
der In steamships In 1919 was built and manned
and nsvigated By Americans, while In 1888 we

The Youths C0mnanton

In the prospectus which we received recently
from The fontNs Companion office, we notice an
array OF noted contributors which promises III.
usual excellence for the coming Volume. First
among them is the Right Honorable W. E
Gladstone, afectionately called the "Grand Old
Man." the greatest of living statesmen, who
writes on "Tbe Future of the English. Speaking
Races" Then General Lord Wolseley, who
will tell of his strange personal adventures in
the field with the British armies. Then Profes.
sor Tyndal, and Justin Mccarthy, who writes of
"Leaders'n the House of Lords" Archdeacon
Faarar, on Musicians and their struggles" and
Professor Huxley. Among American contrib
utors we find such well-known names as Lieu
tenant Schwatka, who writes of fright Pinches
in the Arctic" Andrew Carnegie, on "Bits of
Advice to Young Men," Dr. Austin Flint, Judge
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., on young Men in
the Law" Admiral Luce, Colonel Thomas W.
Knox, James Parton and at least one hundred
others.
The Companion is welcome visitor weekly In
more than 400, 600 families, and has won a place
In home life obtained by no other publication.
The wonder is how any family can do without
it. The publishers announce that any new sub
scrber who sends 81. 10 now, can have Tie Com.
panion free every week TO January l, 1889, and
for full year from that date.
