The third game of the tournament
was bowled on the alleys at Odd Eel

few good scores were made, the play for
the most part being poor. The Spar

bowled a particularly weak game.
The boys were very excited, and any
piece of good work was vociferously
cheered. In one corner of the room a

No Appropriation from
Which the Increased
Pay of City Officials
Can Be Drawn.
THIS MEANS LONG DELAY.
They Must Wait Till Chill De-
cember, Says Corporation Coun-
sci B%rinkerhoff.

The munificence and liberality the Leg
islature displayed toward some of our
local officials do not bring promise of i'm
mediate result to the gentlemen inter-
ested. Among the bills passed at the re-
cent session were one increasing City
Marshal Tim Longs salary from 81 200 to
$500; another adding $500 per year to the
salary Of City Poor Master Hewitt; and a
third authorizing the increase of Mayor
Cleyeland's salary from 81, 500 to $1,000 per
year. Among the recent acts of the AL
dermen were the reappointment of Long
and Hewitt at the enlarged income, and
the increase of the Mayors salary to the
full limit allowed by law.
In conversation with ex-senator Brink
erhoff, the Corporation Counsel appointed
by the old Board of Finance, it was
learned the other day that, though these
gentlemen are well entitled for their SER
vices to the amounts designated by the
Legislature, it will not be possible for
them to receive or for the city to pay the
increase. This is because the act in
question made no provision for the rails
ing Of the money needed to meet the ex-
penditure.
At the beginning of each fiscal year the
money to be raised by tax to defray the
expenses of the city for the ensuing year
is fixed by the Board of Finance and ap-
portioned to the several departments of
the city government for specific purposes.
Economy requires that the sums thu ap-
propriated shall be carefully adjusted to
the needs of the departments, and in fix
ing the appropriations to pay salaries a
simple process in addition serves to show
to the dollar just what amount is re-
CURED and just that amount is set apart
for the purpose. The act passed some
years ago, under the supervision of
Counsellor William A. Lewis, when he
was a member of the Legislature, forbids,
under stern penalties, the mourning by
the city Boards of any debts that the ap-
preparations will not pay.
AS in figuring up the estimates of the
Board of Aldermen and for the Mayors
existing salaries. There is NJ money in
of pay awarded to the Mayor and to the
Poormaster, and to the City Marshal. 1t
was thought that the contingent FUND
might answer the emergency; but this,
only 49, 600 at the start, is SO largely spent
now as to forbid the drawing of the
money from that source.
The Board of Finance will fix the appro-
priations for the new fiscal year in July or
August, and will doubtless provide for the
increases these new bills authorize, but
the new fiscal year for which the appro-
priations then to be made apply, will not
begin till December l, and till then it will
not be possible, MI. Brinkerhoff says, for
the beneficiaries of these several bills to
draw the bigger salary.

Arrested for stealing Tickets.

About 1900 ferry tickets were stolen
from the boxes of the West Shore
Railroad, recently, and the company
was unable to discover the thief.
Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Oar
ling, of West New York, arrested
three men whom he caught passing
through the ferry entrance and de-
posting tickets in the box without
first having bought them from the
ticket agent. AS no tickets are sold in
advance this is evidence of guilt. They
refused to give their names.

Peter McNalty, a youth from Law

night and slept in the hallway of No.

morning some children living in the

got angry, and picking up a
large stone hurled it with all
his force at little two
year-old Gustav Schmidt, who
was playing in the yard. 1t struck
the boy ON the cheek, just
below the right eye, cutting him ter

a few days to await the result. 1t is
not considered probable that the child
will die, but the cut is an ugly one.

Not a Nice Place for Suicide.


At the mouth of the big sewer which
drains the meadows at the corner of
Third and Madison streets, Hoboken,
a suit of woman's clothes was found
this morning. Sergeant Rathjen said
that the sewer would be watched and
in case any one had committed suicide
the flow of the sewage would carry the
body out into the open. The water is
deep enough, said the Sergeant, but,
oh, what an un~attractive place to end
existence.
The clothes were rough, and were
not packed together, but were lying
loosely about. There are few houses
in the neighborhood, and a tragedy
might happen without anybody's
hearing of it.
The police entertain the theory of
suicide, but it is generally thought
that the clothes were the property of
some old tramp, who had got out of
the thickly populated part of the city
to change her clothes.

THE WORLDS FUEL SUPPLY.
1t IL Estimated by Scientist to be About

II Is Estimated by a Scientist to be About
Six TriIlIon Tons.
Time was when the carbon and hydrogen
which form practically the whole of our sup
ply of fuel and the principal part of our
food, were inorganic-no more capable OF
sustaining combustion or animal life
(if we except certain microscopic
forms which decompose carbonic acid)
than granite or slate, writes E. P.
jackson in the North american ReUieU.
However prodigal man may be in his use
of earth's treasures, he can never annihilate
one atom of her substance or transport 1T
beyond her domain. In his "wastefuI
consumption of fuel, he is only restoring its
elements to their primeval condition as con-
stituents chiefly Of the erial and aqueous
oceans which surround our globe. 1t fol-
lows, that the more rapid the combustion,
the richer becomes the atmosphere in its
power to sustain and force vegetable growth.
If it were possible for that period, SO
often predicted, to arrive, when the 6,OOO,-
OOO. 600. 900 tons, more or less, OF fossil fuel
now stored up in the earth's coal bins shall
have been consumed, the atmosphere will
simply have returned to its primeval condi-
tion, that which preceded the carboniferous
period. The only essential difference. there
fore. which will mark the two remote
geologic periods, the past and future, will
be due to whatever reduction will have
taken place in the suns energy. But
whether that condition is destined ever tC
return to earth or not, one thing is certain,
If will not be through human instrument
| ality.

pLUcKING AND SHEARIEG GEESE.
A Habit Practiced Tint is Profitable, but
Quite a Cruelty.

A Habit Practiced Thnt is Profitable but
Quite Cruelty.
American Agriculturist.1
A curious case came before an English
court for adjudication recently. A poul-
terer was charged with cruelty to 4S live
geese by plucking them of their feathers,
and the owner Of the geese was charged with
procuring the commission OF the otfense'
The proceedings were taken by the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals.
A witness swore that latter the geese were
plucked their skins turned purple color,
and they seemed to be in pain. They
walked about with their backs UPS ana
shrank when touched"
The practice was shown by defendants to
be very prevalent, and the society asked Tor
a nominal fine, to put a stop to it. The de-
fendants said it was the custom of the dis
triet to pluck the feathers every six weeks,
and if they were stopped from doing SO many
people would discontinue keeping geese. aa
much more money was realized BY the sale
of feathers than by the geese. The Court
imposed fine Of Is shillings upon the de-
fepdants. and expressed the hope that il
would be warning TO other people. Pluck
ing live geese and ducks prevails all over
the United States.
There is a species of large water fowl
whose habitat in winter is the open lakes o.
the interior, and their feathers are so firmly
set that they cannot be plucked. Shearine
is resorted to, and many housewives have
beds made of these feathers, which almost
equal those of elder down, as the stiff
troublesome quill ends are absent Shear
ing geese and ducks could be made to super
sede plucking.

A sourh Carolina LegisIatOr Tells Why
White Men Ride Alone.

sourh Carolina Legislator Tells why
whiIe Men Ride Alone.
New York Times,1
A leading membersof the South Carolina
Legislature, who was instrumental in secur-
ing the repeal of the civil rights law, gives
the following reasons therefor: The law
was enacted in 1869, when the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitution
had not been interpreted, end the Legls-
lators of the State went much further than
that amendment IN framing their law.
Among other things, it provided that,
whenever common Garner, unoer
any public license, charter, rule or regu-
lation, shall, by himself or another, will
fully assign any special quarters or accom-
modations whatever to any passenger OF
person whom such common carrier may
have undertaken to carry, shall be punished
bv fine of not more than 81, 900 or by I'M
prisonment for not more than SIX months;
also. that every offending party. besides
legal punishment, shall forfeit his or It's
license or charter, and that, when the COM
nlainant is a colored or black person, the
burden shall be on the defendant party OF
parties. SO having refused or denied such
admission or accommodation, to show that
the same was not done in violation Of this
chapter.
at will be seen that this act forbade the
separation of the two races into coaches
even of equal accommodations. Such ac-
commodation is allowed by the Interstate
Commission, and commends itself to the
common sense Of all but fanatics. To re-
tain such an act on the statute book in de-
fiance of public sentiment here would be to
break down that respect which law should
always demand at the hands OF the people.
At the same time the Legislature passed o
bill which required the railroads to provide
separate coaches on all occasions.
Negroes have always enjoyed equal &C
commodations in the trains, and little fric'
ton has resulted on ordinary occasions
When the cars are crowded, however. there
should be this decision, and the Legislature
expects the railroads to act judiciously
having regard to the will OF the people and
the decision of the Interstate Comm erc'
Commission. The clauses regarding res
taurants and hotels were dead letters IRON
the beginning. The effect of the repeal i
to releeate ali these vexed questions to tn
operation of the fourteenth amendment

',Force now takes the> place Of finesse.
The swindlers have no more time to waste.
When a suitable spot is reached, they ROD
their victim by the simple process OF knock,
ing him over the head, or holding plstol
in his face, and helping themselves to ms
cash. Then they drive rapidly away, ana
the farmer is subsequently found Dy the
roadside in dazed condition. ;,

scheme could be worked as have sketcned

The lawyer had grown quite earnest, ana
spoke with such positive convictlon tnas
did not venture to take issue with him.
Later, however, sought out detective.
stated to him the lawyers theory, and asked
him what he thought Of it. The detective
replied emphatically:
sIt is all nonsense. What is the use OF
befuddling your mind with such stut? The
thing is plain enough. In the first place,
these crooks are slick. In the next place,
they know how to pick out sucker. Then
they talk his senses away, and get him SO
mixed up that be don't know his own name.
After that they have the game in their own
hands"
And it struck me, after thinking the mat
ter over, that the detectives explanation
was the lawyers theory boiled down.
