The Story Which a Southern Con
gresham Tells on Himself.

Congressman Hillary Herbert, o
Alabama, tells a pretty good story oil
himself. It's an election day yarn, 81
that It's little late, but it may go
He was In Montgomery on the day Of
election, when an old darkey. who haG
known him for years, came along and
asked him for the loan OF dollar
adding in order to inspire confidence
that he would vote for him.
''Get OUT" replied Herbert. you'll
never vote for me. You've been a
Republican all your life."
Mr.. Herbert chased him away and
so it went on several times. Each time
Mr. Herbert's would be constituent
became more anxious. About O'Clock
in the afternoon Mr.. Herbert saw his
colored friend slide up to the polls very
cautiously and drop into the box a
large. open, unadulterated, straight
Republican tlckeS. By and by the old
fellow traced Herbert again, uncon-
scious that Herbert had seen his vote.
Deed, Marse Hillary. l want dat
dollar. I'm gone right straight up and
drop my vote for you, sho.'
"Why, you miserable old humbug, "
thundered Herbert. Didn't l just
see you vote the Republican ticket2"
The ancient voter was staggered just
one little second. Then with long.
deep sigh, he grinned and said: "Dat's
all right, Marse Hillary, but they'll
count 1t for you Just the same anyhow.
Now gimme that dollar" He got that
dollar.

New Japan.

The young Mikado, Mutsuhito, the
123d Emperor of the nameless dy-
nasty. was the first of his line to take
oath as a ruler. .4...
On the 18th of April, 1868, he made
oath before gods and men that "a de-
Lucrative assembly should be formed ;
all measures should be decided by pub
lie opinion; and that intellect and
learning should be sought for through
out the world, in order to establish
the foundations of the empire"
This oath was reafirmed October II,
1881, and the year 1890 is fixed as the
time for limiting the imperial prerOga-
tive, forming two houses of parlia'
ment, and Transforming the govern
ment into constitutional monarchy.
The Emperor's capital was changed
from KiOto to Yeddo. which was re-
named. and called Toxic.
Feudallsm, or the holding of fiefs by
the daimlo, came to an end in 1871. by
imperial edicu, and the whole of great
Japan was again directly under the
Mikado's rule.
The titles of kuze and daimio were
also abolished, both being renamed
simply Kuasoku (K0o- as a koo), or no.
BILE families. The distinctions between
the lower orders of people were scat
tered to the winds, and even the des-
plsed Outcasts were made citizens, pro-
tected by law.
The degrees in rank among the ia
panese are now as follows:
First. The Emperor and the royal
families.
Second. The Kuasoku, the noble
families.
Third. The Shizoku, the gentry.
Fourth. The Helmin, the citizens
in general.

THE GLASS WORKERS CONVENTION WILL
BEIN SESSION TO-DAY.
Only About Ons-Fourih Of The Committee Reports
Decided Upon Ysstsrday-A Hint for Pure
Watar-Gsnsral Industrial.

The glassworkers' Convention did not
conclude its session yesterday, as had been
anticipated, and the delegates will have to
get together again this morning, despite
the fact that night session was held last
night.
After the session of yesterday morning
was opened, the Shade Committee reported
making some slight changes in the list and
moves. One clause of the report was so
ambiguous that it WAS referred back to the
committee to be more explicit. and the
balance of the report was adopted.
The iron mold committee also reported,
and the report was under consideration
when the Convention adjourned at noon.
At the afternoon session the iron mold
list WAS taken up and consideration OF 1t
concluded. Some special committee re-
ports were then considered, and after walt
ing for while for the reports of some oil
the more important committees, the Con-
ventiOn adjourned until evening.
At this 81 ssion the big pile OF amend
ments wss tackled, and about one.fOurth
of them were disposed Of, leaving quite a
large number to be brought up to-day. A
number of committee reports were received,
and at the time of adjournment all the
committees except The COmmitteeon Griev-
ances had sent in a report.
For tO-dsy's session the remainder of the
amendments, the election of officers and
the Executive Board, and the consideration
the report of the Grievance Committee are
all on the programme, and the session can
easily be prolonged until evening.

Ont OF Newspaper Work.

Charles s. Howell, for several years con-
nected with the Times as reporter, city ed
itor snd Harrisburg correspondent. yester'
day dissolved his relations with this paper
and with the newspaper business, to accept
a responsible position with the B. & o.
Railroad Company. Mr.. Howell has distin'
guished himself many times by conspicu-
ously good journalistic work-notably
within the last month as the principal cor.
respondent on the Times staff at Johnstown,
eating out of his hand, sleeping in cat maps
Oh the ground, and sending column after
column of matter which was quoted from
one ocean to the other. One of his othel
great fests in recent time was his trip into
the Hstfeld-McCoy country, where he in.
terviewed the principals ard rode sixty
miles without dismounting, to reach tele
graph ofics. If Mr.. Howell carries the
same energy and intelligence to his new
work that distinguished him as a news
paper man, his success will be ample
enough to crafty his best friends, and
there will be small ohsnce-more's th,
pity-of his coming back into journalism.

Last Evening.

Short Session Held at the City Hall
LAST Evening.
The Council Committee on Finance met at
the City Han, last evening, Messrs. Hsrrell,
Tracy, Wilkie, Maxwell, Pollock and Far
rell being present. The session was quite
short, as there was very little business be-
fore the Committee in shape to be trans
acted.
The communication from the Board Of
Public Works, relative to the shortage Of
the appropriation for the Market and
Tenth street paving was taken up and read,
as presented to Council at the last session
of that body. In this paper the Board
estimated it would require about 81, 600 TO
complete the work of paving the two
streets named. After ON interchange OF
views upon the subject, the committee
adopted a resolution, recommending Coun-
Gil 10 order the payment OF the amount
named out of the contingent fund OF the
city. This fund now contains 81, 632.6O,
or rather did at the last seesion OF Council,
Dedncting the 81, 600, will still leave &c.
600 in the fund, for the remaining months
of the year.
The communication from the Board OF
Public Works in regard to the contemp-
lated small sewer ON Twelfth and Eof
streets aud alley O in place Of the big five
foot sewer at first contemplated, and for
which SO, 500 was appropriated, was re-
ferrcd back TO the Board for an estimate
as TO the cost.
TIE matter of providing money for q
new crematory was not brought up in the
committee.

Bows DISCHARGED.

The REGISTER yesterday morning chron
icled the arrest of young Colts, by the pc
lice, upon suspicion Of having been engaged
with Cryder in the robbery of McFadden'i
store, and the attempt upon Houses music
store. Colts and another boy named David
Straus were arraigned before Justice Davis
yesterday and Cryder was brought down
also Cryder at first said he got the bunch
of keys from Colts about ten o'clock Sun
day night. Colts denied this strenuously,
and Cryder took water, and acknowledged
breaking into the store and making the
attempt upon Houses. He said two boys
named McFadden, living back of Bridge
port, were with him. Inquiry by the
Island officers showed that no such boys
lived in the locality name1. After cOnsid-
ering all the facts, the Justice released
Colts and Strsus, and held Cryder in 81 600
for the grand jury.

Justice Ankle Holds tho Men for Court
What They VIII DO.
Last evening the base ball players arrest
ed on Sunday by Justice Ankle, on O
charge Of breaking the Sunday labor law,
appeared at the Office of the Justice with
their attorneys, Messrs. Ewing, Arnett
and DOveuer, the State being represented
by Messrs SOmmerviile and Jacob.
1t will be remembered that on Monday
the defense moved that the cases be dis.
missed on the grounds that the partie:
could not be prosecuted twice for the same
offense, and the Justice took the case un.
der advisement until seven o'clock last
evening.
10 making his decision he said that HI
was unable to discover parallel case in
any of the authorities, and he would moi
assume the responsibility of deciding Sc
important point OF Jurisdiction, and
would therefore send it to higher conrI
for decision, and would place each of the
players under bond for their appearance
before the Circuit Court, naming th'
amount as S25 in each case. The counsel
for the defense then asked the Justice Ia
hold the men upon their own recognizanc'
until o'clock this morning, to which III,
Justice agreed. A commitment to the
county Jail will be maze out so that
the defense can apply for writ of hdJedl
corpus to Judge Panll, at a special term o
court, which meets at o'clock this morn
ing, on the grounds that the prisoners arr
unduly held.
A vast crowd Of people assembled abou
the Justices Office and the trial excited tn,
greatest interest. The decision CT the Cour
will be looked for with as much interest

They Are Afraid the Government Will
Stop Them.
II is evident that the Pan Handle Is
afraid that their work on the construction
of the new channel span of the Ohio River
bridge will be interfered with by the Sec
rotary of War, from whom the company
had obtained permission 10 close the chan
mel during the progress of the work. The
pile-drivipg gang began work Monday
night and drove thirty. one piles, and the
work will be pushed day and night until
the work is completed. If they succeed IN
closing the channel with the piles they will
probably have the drop on any injunction
that may be possibly put upon the work Of
erecting the false-works.
