A Foot Ball Found at Sea.

Saturday an oyster boat at York, few
miles outside the New Haven breakwater,
picked up foot ball floating in the water. The
curious feature of the find is the fact that the
ball was one used in the Yale Harvard game of
1887, the score of the game, II to 8, being
painted on the ball. The students are puzzled
as the ball was supposed to have been safely
locked up in one of the Yale secret society
halls

But it is not alone in numbers that the great
increase Of advertising is shown. The larger
space required for advertisements during the
year 1889 as compared with that occupied in
1888 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advertise
ments in 1888 was Is 10 columns, or IT'S columns
for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily
average was 1916 columns, or gas columns in
the aggregate, being total gain over the pro-
vious year Of 1444 columns! And this, IL must

EXCITED EMPLOYEES.
HE Lunch Basket Question at the Gov
eminent Printing Office.

There was more profanity-expressed and
unexpressed, male and feniale-at the govern
ment printing Office last Thursday morning than
the Oldest emplOye in that establishment ever
heard in the course of a lifelong experience
among eloquent followers of Gutenberg and
Caxton- Capt. Kinds is responsible for it.
Capt. Kinds is the superintendent of the build
ing. 1t seems that for some time past vendors
OF milk and fruit and pies have been in the habit
of entering the Office just previous to o'clock
Pm for the purpose of selling lunch material
to the hungry toiIers. A few days ago an order
was issued putting stop to this practice. To
this the vendors made objection, saving that
a great many of the employees took with them
when they went to work capacious lunch bas-
kets, IN which was lunch enough to satisfy the
appetltes OF dozen people. The surplus was
regularly retalled for cash. Here was discrim-
ination, so Chief Clerk Collins told Capt
Kinds that he must instruct the watch
men to shut of the entrance of ele-
phantlne lunch baskets and young trunks
The captain issued an order requiring
the Waterman to take the lunch basket or box
from each ernploye carrying one. On Thurs
day morning about l,5O0 people started out for
the printing office, supplied as usual with some
thing to aid them in Willing away the dinner
hour. When they reached the office the watch
men at the various entrances relieved
them OF their respective lunches, and
then great vail and a great oath went up.
Protests were unavailing and even force (Which
was tried IN at least one instance) was of no
effect When the whistle sounded at am
there were l,5O0 baskets and boxes stacked I'D
near the doors, while i 500 people, hungry in
anticipation, made emphatic vocal resistance to
what was regarded as the refinement of official
tyranny. BY and by it was discovered that
some one had blundered, and then the be-
reaved ones went down to the doors and re-
coved their own. Some of the incidents were
very funny, and some of those who had little
bottles In their baskets were extremely appre-
henslve. Everything was safe, however, for
the watchmen's instructions were to keep the
baskets, not to eat and drink their contents-

An Interstate Commerce Decision.

In what is known as the car load cases the
interstate commerce commission had received
complaints from more than 4, 900 firms of grocers
charging against the trunk lines discrimination
in rates for carrying the same kind of goods
the same distance. The commission on Satur-
day, in a decision by Commissioner schoon-
maker, held that a carrier had a right to fix
rates for different classes of freight and Diff
ference In rates can be charged for car load
and less than car load quantities, but carriers
cannot impose charges with exclusive regard
Tor their own interests. The public interests
are TO be subordinated. The commission de-
cares that in the Official freight classItications
groceries are unjustly class flied, and revision
