"Uncle Sam" and 20. X"

There are many persons who
habitually make use of the terms
"Uncle Sam" and 20. h" who have
not the slightest idea how these
terms originated; and for the benefit
of all such persons, We will give the
origin.
Upon one occasion, long time
ago. a greenhorn asked friend what
.. S. stood for; and the friend, in a
chatting way, answered him that the
letters stood for Uncle Sam. This
facetious answer, having received
publication at the time, became a
standing joke, and gradually merged
into a nickname for the United
States.
Regarding the letters 80. r."
which are now gradually sinking
into disuse, they like the above, arose
in the uneducated period of the past
An ignorant Customs officer had a
quantity of packages to examine,
and on those that he passed as all
right he wrote in chalk "Oll Korek."
Finally to abbreviate his mark, he,
towards the end of his work, made
the initials 20. f." answer his pur-
pose. This anecdone, receiving large
publication at the time, gave rise to
the generally accepted 80. K"
Nearly all terms of a similar kind.

MRS. ROwLAND's CHAMPION.
Millionaire Oppenheimer Takes an In
terest I'm Her Case.

A Minneapolis special to the Philadelphia
Times says the specific charge preferred by
ex-Surgeon General VIM. A. Hammond against
Mrs. Annie Rowland is the ENLIGHTENMENT Of
$50 on July 30, 1889. It is claimed by the
friends of Mrs. Rowland that there is some
thing back of the charge that does not appear
upon the surface. The matron of the Ramsey
county Jail, where she is confined, would not
permit her to be interviewed for the press, but
she had long conference in the morning with
Deputy United States Marshal Bracket and
Assistant United States District Attorney Moves,
and IN the afternoon with August Oppenheimer,
the wealthy senior partner of the wholesale
millinery house of Oppenheimer & Co.. who
has interested himself in her behalf. He said:
There is some motive for her persecution
What that motive is / am not now prepared to
say, but from all can learn Mrs. Rowland is a
greatly wronged woman. l will employ legal
adviser and take steps to secure her release on
a writ of habeas corpus tomorrow"
Since her arrest Mrs. Rowland has refused
food. She is almost Frustrated and exhibits
the greatest distress, weeping constantly.

USING POLICE WHISTLES.
"A Practice that Policemen Find Exceed
ingly Annoying.

There ought to be law here against the
use Of police whistles for other than police
business" said a policeman to STAR reporter
this morning. "At present there is no law that
has special reference to that subject, although
now and then an officer is able to make case
against person for using the whistle. If the
whistle is used in such manner as to attract a
crowd or disturb people, the offender can be
tried for disorderiy conduct.
Some OF the street-car conductors are now
using whistles that make a noise similar to
those used by the officers. Such use Of the
whistles certainly should not be allowed II
only has the effect of throwing the officers of
their guard. and in some instances it might re-
suit In soaring of a burglar who is being
watched by the officers. There are many ways
In which the use OF the whistle might interfere
with police business"
About two years ago there was colored man
In the first ward who got himself into trouble
using police whistle. He had heard how
Night Inspector Pearson and the sergeants
blow the whistle, and wanting to initiate those
ofhcsais and excite the officers he went out reg
ularly every morning after midnight and tested
his lungs on q whistle. The officers soon
learned OF his little game, and one morning
they laid trap for him and caught him.
Disturbing the public peace" was the charge
put against him and be was locked up. Judge
Smell, who was then holding the Police Court,
sustained the action Of the officers and fined
the negro el0. That ended his career a. the
funny man Of that locality.
