RDITOKIAL NOTES.

During the last sixteen years twenty-iv

What is called superstition isn't dead yet.
At recent trial in Texas thirteen expert cat
tie branders swore that when cattle were
branded in ''the dark of the moon" the brand
will never get larger than the first impress
sion, no matter how much the animal may
grow. But if the branding iron is applied in
the '1ight of the moon" the scar will spread,
and the lighter the moon the larger will be
the spread.
The prohibitionists will not like the decis-
ion of the Michigan Supreme court that the
high license law enacted last June is consti-
tutienal except in regard to certain arbitrary
powers conferred and excessive penalties i'm
posed by it. Among the provisions which
cannot be sustained are those allowing off,
GERS to close places of sale on their own de-
termination of facts, and those inficting
such punishments as disability to transact
business and forfeiture of license fee. There
has been great objection, even among the
temperance people, to the arbitrary features
of the law.
Bosten produces many queer things. There
is will case there wherein it is alleged by
the contestant that@the testator was not of
sound mind; that he was unddly Influenced,
and that though his name was unquestiona-
bly, Noble Maxwell, he was not the Noble
Maxwell whom he pretended to be, and not
the owner of the property, about two mil
| lion dollars in value, which the will purport-
ed to dispose of. The theory of the eon-
testant, of which he has produced no evil
dence yet, is that the rich Noble Maxwell. a
prosperous merchant and shipownsr, died
| some years ago, and the other man of the
| same name, who has lately died at the age of
ninety six, somehow got possession of his
| money and has held it ever since.
| A remarkable engineering feat has just
been carried out in China in the face of un-
| usual physical obstacles. This was the
| stretching of steel cable of seven strands
across the Lunann river by "A. DeLinde, q
Danish civil engineer, aided only by un-
skilled Chinese labor. The cable is strung
from two points 4,64s feet apart. The
height of one support is AT feet above the
present level of the river, and the second
support 1877 feet above it. The vortex over
the water is 7s feet. The Chinese cable is
the longest one in the world. The telegraph

LANGE,s sTRANgl STORY.
Says He Has Been DoiE Rip Van
Wrinkle Act SinceMarch.
Ii - alLY


Another Rip Van Wnkle has been
discovered. The latest oe is an inmate
of the Douglas County jail He was con-
fined therein about a week ago, having
been picked up on the street by the po-
lice and jailed to await a examination
by the Board of Insane Commissioners
When taken to the comfy bastilo, he
was unable to give any lame, and was
registered under the title 4 John Doc.
The man has had sevenl fits since his
arrest, and, in fact, had to the day he
was run in. Yesterday morning the
prisoner awoke from his sleep and be-
gan stroking his long bead in sort of
bewildered manner, and lsked the fell
low who occupied the SINE cell, where
he was. The prisoner rolled "You arc
in the jug" "Tho ig," responded
John Doe. "Do you mon to assert that
I'm in Jail ?" "That3 just what l
mean, Gully" replied lis companion.
And what am doing ere p inquired
Doe. "All of which is more than ! can
tell you," was the reponsc. "You'd
better sec the jailer, and maybe he can
put you on"
Then John called he jailor. Tho
"cold-visaged' gentleman responded,
and detailed the circumstances of the
prisoners incarceration to which the
latter listened with Intense interest.
When the keeper of tie KEYS had fin.
ishcd his tale, the pisoner inquired
where he was, and was Informed that he
was in Omaha. "Omuia I" calculated
the man: "and what da, of the month is
it?" "The 18th of November" re-
sponded the jailer. ""he 18th of No.
vember Are you Joking with me ? ="
Mary joke" replied the custodian Of
Douglas County criminals.
Then John Doc told his story. His
name, he said, is Harry LANCE, native
of Rhode Island. His home is about
eighteen miles from Newport. About
two years ago he came Vest to grow up
with the country, and during his rambles
finally landed at San francisco. There
he was working on Mach 8 last, when
he received letter fiom home stating
that his father had dice, and that he had
made n will which btqueathed all his
property to an invalid brother, and to be
held in trust by him Harry until the
brother should die, when ii was to re-
vert to him.
The letter contained check to defray
the expense of his trip home, and urged
him to hasten, in order that the will
might 90 to probate. Harry started for
home and remembers buying ticket,
being taken suddenly i'll afterward and
going to hotel. From that time until
yesterday life has been blank to him.
He can hardly believe that he is in
Omaha, and this morning will make APP
plication for his release, having telc
graphed home for money to enable hin
to resume his journey toward the land
of the rising sun.

One of Edwin Booths marked chacter-

other words absence, of mind. Once
inside the theater he can think of moth
ing outside the part he has to play. Mr.
Booth knows his weakness, and to
protect himself keeps dresser whose
sole duty is to look after the tragedian'
theatrical wardrobe. Every night after
the performance this dresser carefully
puts away the costume worn by Mr..
Booth that night, and then lays out the
one for the next night When Mr..
Booth enters his dressing-room he dons
this costume without once giving II q
thought. having full confidence in his
dresser.
One night in Chicago several years
ago his dresser made lamentable mis-
take concerning the programme for the
week, with the result that Mr.. Booth
went on the stage the following night &c
play Romeo in n Hamlet costume. The
audience was so disturbed that Mr. Booth
had to stop and explain the mistake.
He then continued his performance but
changed his costume at the first oppor.

ernmental action"
They refer also tohis recommendation
about the removal of ashes at public ex.
pense and his statistics on the public
health already printed.
THE PLUMBING INSPECTOR.
One of the principal causes of embar.
rassment in the administration of the Of
flee of the Plumbing Inspector has been
the inadequacy of the Commissioners
power to regulate the work of plumbers.
STREET RAILWAYS.
The Commissioners renew their former
recommendation that the street railway
companies be required TO abandon the
use of cobblo-stones for paving and pro.
vide proper rails and proper pavement
between them.
ROCK CREEK TUNNEL.
The Commissioners call attention to
the project for the construction of tun-
mel in the valley of Rock Creek, between
Lyons mill and Pennsylvania avenue.
BRIDGES.
The bridges under the control of the
Commissioners are said to be in as good
state of repair as their character will
admit. 1t is suggested that number OF
wooden bridges be replaced by iron
structures.
STEAM RAILROADS.
They treat on the subject of steam
railroads as follows
Recommendations have been made
by them touching upon this subject, and
they desire to invite attention to their
report Of November 10, 1857, addressed
to the United States Senate. 1t is re-
spectfully urged that some elTectual
means of adjustment of this vexed ques-
ton may be had at an early day"
THE WATER SUPPLY.
They recommend that Congress place
the control of the water supply TO all
the Federal establishments under some
one officer of the United States. A re.
duction of the fixed annual charge
against the water fund is recomm ended.
The existing system of mains is in need
of some changes, and beginning could
be made in laying large mains to facili-

supply when turned on, but the charges
against the water fund for interest and
sinking fund are SO great as to forbid
any expenditures in these directions for
the present.
SEWERAGE.
The appropriations for the fiscal year
1888 proved inadequate, and many cases
needing attention had to be postponed TO
the current year They recommend that
existing laws should be changed so as to
allow work of this class TO be done by
contract or otherwise, as the Commits.

The Commissioners express their regret
