Long Islands Blue Laws.

Some of the old Long Island towns were
settled by Puritans from across the sound
in Connecticut. In the musty records of
some of these places are to be found ordi-
nances which bear so much of likeness to
the Connecticut blue laws as to leave the
historical iconoclast who says those laws
never existed little ground upon which to
stand.
The good townspeople of Brookhaven,
in Suffolk county, met in 1914, ten years
after New York had passed from the hands
of Petrus Stuyvesant and was enjoying
the rule of the merry James of York, and
passed this resolution:
Whereas, god have bene much dis
hoIored, much presious tyne misspert
and men impoverished by drinking and
tipling, ether in ordinery or other privet
houses, therefor, we maeke this order that
whosoever shall thus transgress, or sett

shillings, and the men of the hous for let
ting them have it after the tyne prefixed

The Operator Was Busy.

1t has been the custom among shop and
counting house employees from time imme-
mortal to play practical jokes upon new
corners, such as sending them after white
lampblack or round square or to ask
some similar paradoXical question.
The big operating department of the
Western Union telegraph office on Broad
way is no exception to this ancient diver
sion Many of the knights of the key are
fond of such jokes, and recent one was at
the expense of a little, check girl who did
not realize the Importance of no less per-
sonage than Jay Gould himself.
Jay Gould and Mr.. Eckert and others of
the Western Union company had occasion
to consult with Manager Dealey, and when
the group entered the room and were talk
ing with the latter gentleman a facetious
operator sent the little girl over with a
message to the "short gentleman with the
black whiskers." The little one marched
bravely up to the group and, in answer to
kindly "Well. dear?" from Jay Gould,
said:
"Mr. -, of the race wire, says he is busy
and cannot see you until he is off duty"
Jay Gould said, Every WE'LL" and the
little girl skipped about with her usual
ightheartedness.- York Telegram.

An Algerian Wonder.

An isolated mountain called Jebel Naiba,
about %, 900 feet high, situated near Bona,
Algeria, is found to be rapidly decreasing
in height, a considerable cavity having al
ready formed around its entire base. The
mass of the gigantic peak is evidently sink
ing into the earth's crust. Evidence adj
duced almost within the very limits of
Bona shows that a similar phenomenon has
taken place there probably centuries before.

through the Boston Public garden, and
sought to amuse himself by questioning
some boys whom he found playing near the
Washington statue there.
'Boys," he called, as he approached the
group of ragged urchins, "who is that gen

The boys looked vaguely about. and one
asked briskly:
''What gentleman, sire"
"The one up there on the bronze horse. -
ooh, that's George Washington" was
the concerted reply, and the gentleman

Making the Children Fear Animals.

A pretty child, just about able to talk,
was coaxing beribboned stray poodle on
Staten Island ferryboat with "Nice dog
gle! Nice doggie! L like Co.," when the
child's nurse suddenly glanced up from
novel that she was reading, and exclaimed
sharply: Don't do that, Alice, he'll bite
you. Go away, you nasty dogp' The child
Immediately drew away from the dainty
and harmless dog with an expression of
fear. A few minutes afterward her keen
eyes espied a canary bird in pretty cage.
She toddled over to it, and again her baby
prattle was heard: Mice birdie! Nice
birdier'
Again the nurse raised her eyes from her
novel, and, stretching out her hand, she
drew the child back into its seat with the
stereotyped admonition: Don't. Alice: the
bird will bite you. Go away, naughty
bird" During the rest of the ride the child
sat still, with shade of perpleXity on her
pretty, innocent face. Doubtless she was
wondering if every little playful creature
that crossed her path would bite her,

Should an Actor Feel Emotion.

l believe, then, that every great actor
ought to be, and is, moved by the emotion
he portrays; that not only must he feel
this emotion once or twice, or when he is
studying the part, but that he must feel it
in greater or less degree-apl&oi Just that
degree will he move the heartst &c his audi
ences-whenever he plays the part, be it
once or thousand times, and that he
must cultivate this susceptibility to emo
ton as carefully as he cultivates the de-
velopment of his vocal organs, or the habit
of moving and walking easily and grace
fully.-Salvini in Century.

The municipal court session yesterday
was very short one, but contained
some important cases. Charles Grant,
who is charged with an indecent as.
sault upon lad eight years old, was
held to the grand jury, bail being fixed
at $500. Andrew Pooler, the youth
who stole buggy and a pair of horses
belonging to James Mcclure and drove
them to Faribault, where he was cap
tured, was certified to the dis
trlct court as step to
send him to the reform
school. The boy seemed to treat
the whole affair as huge joke, and dis
played deplorable amount of deprav-
ity for his age. j. Green and S. Green,
negro vags, were sent out to Como for
thirty days to be scrubbed and cleaned
up. John Johnson and Andrew Nelson
and Martin Burke endeavored to eX-
plain that their antics were caused by
the electrical fluid in the air Tuesday
evening, but the evidence showed it was
fluid of quite another kind, so Judge
Cory called them for $40 each. l.. Fink
elstein, Simon Jacob and l.. s. Weller,
charged with violating the pawnbrok-

ued until Monday next.

WITH A REVOLVER IN EACH HAND
The Sheriff RIazed Away at AssaIi-
ants OF Both Sexes.
a Lively Battle During the EYIctions
In Pennsylvania.
Nobody Was Killed But Considerable
Foreign Blood Was shed.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 23.-Thls was one
OIL the most troublesome days since the great
coke strike was inaugurated. A serious riot
occurred at Monarch this morning and an
other was reported this afternoon in which
IL was said i've men and two women were
killed. fortunately the second report was
without foundation. This morning Sheriff
Mccormick and his deputies went to
LeiseurinR No. to eviet ten families of
striking Slavs and they had bloody battle
with ar infuriated mob of men and women.
When the sheriff and his deputies reached
house No. 1o5, occupied by Thomas Tarr.
the writ Of eviction was read to
Tarr. The latter with an oath declined to
evacuate the domlcile and. seizlng an an. de-
ned the sheriff TO enter. The crowd OF men
and women also yelled defiance In broken
English. Andy Blashko's. wife. who
lived in the other half OF the house,
and who had given birth to child only two
days before, hearing the tumult, rushed out
at the sheriff, pistol In hand. just as she
was about TO fire athis breast, he struck the
pistol and at the same time fired at her. The
TWO pistols went OF simultaneously. the
woman was wounded In the de5hY part OF
the left thigh. The sherif's left ankf5 was
shattered. The woman made second dash
at the sheriff and then fell
TO the ground In swoOn.
Andy Blashka then attacked the sheriff
with club, and was shot In the left ankle,
the bullet shivering the bone. The sheriff'S
blood was up, and with cooked revolver In
each hand he stood with his back against
the end OF the house. Martin Scr0upka
rushed at him with a huge club, and the
knocking out two teeth. The arrival Of the
military put an end to the battle, and the
eYicti0nS were then made.
