The Twenty-Four O'Clock Idea.

The A-hour notation reform is not dead, al
though it has seemed to be sleeping. The COM
mittee of the American Society of Civil Engi-
neers which has been long and effectively advo-
eating the adoption of the plan of numbering
tie hours of the day consecutively has issued
another report, in which it shows that large
majority of the railway companies of the
United States and Canada have already ex-
pressed themselves in favor of the change.
The number of officers, according to the RafI-
tcdy Age, who are now on record in the afirma-
tive is given as follows: Presidents, vice presi-
dents and general managers. l35; general
superintendents II; superin ntendenrs. ia; gen.
eral trafia managers, II: engineers, %; total,
4O3.
The report states that the advantages of the
24-hour notation are also beginning to be recog-
nized in various branches of civil life, as for
example in hospitals, in meteorological tables
and other directions where simplicity of
system and accuracy of noting the hours are
essential. The Canadian Railway continues to
use the system in its time tables. to the great
convenience of travellers over this long trans
continental line and to the advantage of those
engaged in handling trains, and 1t is difficult to
see anything to prevent the speedy adoption of
the reform on the other great lines OF the
country. AT the instancs of the Society of
Civil Engineers bill has been presented to
Congress authorizing the use Of the M-hour
notation and making it equally valid with the
present method of numbering the hours In two
series of IL hours each. and 1t is to be hoped
that this reasonable legislation will be enacted

HOME, SWEET HOME.
The Original Copy Of the Song May Yet Come
to Light

ATHENS, GA, April 1.-The death Of Mrs.
Asa jackson has brought up once again the
much-talked.of mystery Of the Whereabouts Of
the original of John Howard Payns's Home,
Sweet Home"
Mrs. Jackson was near relative OF Miss
Mary Hardin. who was much admired Dy John
Howard Payne. For long time Miss Hardin
had the only known copy of the famous song in
tie handwriting Of its author. When she was
dying several years ago in Athens it was
rumored that in one of her eccentric moods she
had wllled the copy TO be buried with her, but
when asked on her death bed if this were true,
she told Mrs. Jackson that she had not done so,
but had left the manuscript, as well as all her
other earthly goods, as a bequest to her.
After Miss Hardin's death the manuscript
was searched for by Mrs. Jackson, but was not
found. Only few days ago reporter called
on Mrs. jackson and asked il nothing had ever
come of the search.
Nothing yet," was the reply. "bur hope to
fnd ir before die. Mary kept the copy con-
cealed all the time while she lived John How
ard Payne sent it to her when he was Consul to
Algiers, and between the lines were written
little love messages They were sweethearts
sums for the manuscripts In her lifetime by the
Harpers and by other Northern publishers, but
would never part with 1t.
Several lawyers have lately been to me to
get my permission for them to ferret out the
Whereabouts of the manuscript, but have re-
fused to let them take the case. / feel certain
chat 1t Will come to light before die"
1t is generally believed here that the manu-
script will some time be found. Some think
that the copy which was known to be the only
one extant written by Payne himself, was
stolen from the house by servant.

Frozen 5000 Feet Deep.

For many years scientists have been per.
picked over the phenomena of a certain well at
Yakutsk, Siberia, says the Mining and Scien.
titic Press. AS long ago as 1928 Russian mer-
chant began to sink this noted well, and, after
working on it for three years. gave it up as a
bad job, having at that time sunk it to depth
of 80 feet without getting through the frozen
grouud. He communicated these facts to the
Russian Academy Of Science, which sent men
to take charge of the digging operations at the
wonderful well. These scientific gentlemen
toiled away at their work for several years. but
abandoned it when depth of 6S2 feet had been
reached, with the earth still frozen as hard as
rock In 1S43 the academy had the tempera-
ture of the soil ut the sides of the well taken at
various depths. From the data thus obtained
the came to the startling conclusion that the
ground was frozen to a depth exceeding 5000
feet. Although it is known to meteorologists
that the lowest known temperature is in that
region of Siberia, it Is conceded that NOS even
that rigorous climate could force frost to such
great depth below the surface. After fgur-
ing on the subject for over quarter OF
century, geologists have at last come to the
conclusion that the great frozen valley OF the
Lena river was deposited, frozen just as it is
found to-day, during the great grinding up era
of the glacial epoch.

NEWSPAPERS AND THE POLICE.

Chief of Police Bergman, of Detroit, is
the latest man who mourns an over supply
of conceit, and the reporters of that town
have had the pleasure OF bringing him
down a peg. When the abduction of
Joseph Berrien first became known, the
Chief belittled it, but the reporters, recog-
mixing its Importance, had clews and news
before the police department. As conse-
Quence Mr.. Bergman lost his official head.
From what appears at this distance the
newspapers were in the right. and Mr.. Borg
mans loss viii be Detroit's gain. The
Berrian case was one of great i'm
portance, not only from the position of
the abducted man, but also from the means
employed, and after developments. That
police official should be SO blind to his duty
as 10 almost entirely ignore it, or so pu6ed
~, with sense of his own mightiness as to
refuse to work upon it, was good and suf-
fcicai reason for his removal
Jealousy of the newspapers seems, how
ever, to be the moving cause of Borgman's
Indifference. This conclusion is reached
after reading reports of how be conducted

CRIMINAL EITHER WAY,

Either some parties in the coke regions
are engaged in the utterly contemplate work
of manufacturing false intelligence concern
lng the use of petroleum and dynamite for
iDcendiary purposes, or there is still an ele-
ment among the strikers which requires a
repetition OF the solemn warning that those
who resort to crime and raise their hands
against the law will be wiped out.
We are more inclined to think that the
news items published yesterday with regard
to using coal oil and dynamite are due to the
former cause than the latter. With the
total inability to determine with any GER
taiuty which it is, the remark is pertinent
that if anyone is manufacturing reports Of
this sort TOR the purpose of injuring the
strikers, he must be being of the sort
whom it is gross hattery TO class as men;
while if there have been any of the class of
tools who circulate such stories, under the
impression that they are funny, they should
be sharply warned that jokes of that sort
qualify the author for residence either in
The workhouse or idiot asylum.
On the other hand, if there are any among
the strikers who contemplate the use of pe-
troleum or dynamite for purposes either of
revenge or intimidation, they should be
solemnlY notified that if they want the whole
power of the State aroused to wipe them
entirely out they can do it by resorting to
such crimes.

BALLOT REFORMS PERILs.

The Ballot Reform Association has issued
another appeal for public support to the
ballot reform bill, which should be effective
in securing a pressure on the Legislature to
take prompt action on that measure. There
should be no need OF pressure, as both
parties are pledged to it, and the measure
affords the most prompt method of securing
practical and effective ballot reform. But
political complications or political negli-
gence is letting the bill slumber in a way
that calls fer some action. There should be
no politics against a bill OF this sort; but
there is beginning to be a suspicion that
some Of the Republican managers are de-
sirous Of smothering it, while the more in
discreet among the Democrats are antago-
nizlng it under an impression that it is
Republican measure. This possibility that
the politicians on both sides may kill the
bill calls for an expression of public opinion
that will stop the ioolishness.

One on Henry Watterson.

Never before had Chef Philips, Of the Audi
torium Hotel. been nonplussed when asked to
prepare meal From cold lunch TO q Lu-
cullian banquet he had been at home. And the
details of every conceivable dish he had i'm
agned he possessed at his fingers ends. But
when on the morning following the arrival of
Henry Watterson the bell boy appeared before
the chef and told him that Mr. Watterson
wanted Kentucky breakfast the chef was
confronted with his Waterloo. says the Chicago

whats that?" he exclaimed.
"a Kentucky breakfast" the bell boy re-
piled.
Not wishing to confess his ignorance to the
bell boy the chef waved him aside and went
himself to the great EDITORS room.
"Beg pardon, Mr.. Watterson," he said, as in
response to a ''come inn he entered and found
the journalist IN bed, "but fear the bell boy
did not correctly understand your order. He
said you wanted q Kentucky breakfast"

CHICAGo's MAYoRALTY FIGHT.

To an outsider the Chicago Mayoralty
campaign just ended was chiefly interesting
because the successful candidat, would be
in Office during the Worlds Fair. It was
this fact that brought the unusual number
of aspirants. That five men, four Of whom
belong to the two great parties, should
strive for one Office. shows that certain pe-
culiar possibilities in it were fully appre-
ciated. Always a good thing as to finance
and influence, the position OF Mayor OF Chi
cago will treble in value if it has gone into
the keeping of man who wishes to use it
Cor private rather than public good.
The most peculiar thing about the cam
paign was the manner in which the real
issue was hidden. Rarely, if at all, was the
coming exhibition mentioned, but it is
hoped that the voters kept it in mind when
casting their ballots; for the man elected
yesterday can, if he is so disposed. seriously
mar the enterprise and prevent its complete
success

hIEANNEss OR IDIoCY?

The apparently indisputable statement OF
the discourtesy shown a deputstion OF
leading members of the Canadian Govern
ment who had gone to Washington to open
negotiations for reciprocity is of the kind
that beggars comment 1t illustrates to an
hitherto unheard of degree the consequences
of permitting the smallest sort of personal
qualities to preside over a national admins
tratiou.
The Canadians who were at Washington
were members of the cabinet of a country
second only to the United States in promin-
ence and intelligence. The errand on which
they came was one of the first importance 10
our nation, and from the presence of such
leading Canadian statesmen it is evidently
regarded as OF equal Importance by Canada.
When such guests come to the National
capital on such important business, to send
them away and make their errand fruitless
because the President will not make any
changes in his jaunt throughout the eoun-
try, is most astounding neglect both to
the interests OF the country and the first
principles OF International courtesy.
II is, Of course, i'm possible TO avoid notice
OF the general theory that this action was
taken because the President has become
jealous OF Secretary Blaine's weil-earned
popularity from the success OF his reciprocity
policy. Whether it was this petty personal
motive, or the more supernaI idiocy sug-
gested in the shape that mo more tariff agi-
tation is wanted" it was wholly su pereroga-
tory. The President HAD already demon
strated that be was a wholly impossible
quantity for a denomination; and this ad-
ditional evidence is as uncalled for as piling
Pelion on 0ssa.

HOW To GET TOGETHER.

The diplomatic dispute with Italy is re-
garded by the New Orleans Picayune as an
evidence that Americans should get to-
gether and unite for "the maintenance of the
dignity of the Republic" EVERY Ameri-
can," concludes the Picavune "must
strengthen the hands of the President and
Secretary Blaine"
This is eminently correct. But 1t should
not be forgotten, especially in the locality
where this journal is influential, that the
only ground on which Americans can get
together is that of maintaining the supremacy
of the laws. The dignity of the Republic
can be best upheld by an honest discharge
of treaty obligations and a scrupulous
respect and obedience for our own laws
And the hands of the administration will be
most effectively strengthened if the people
sustain them in their position that wanton
attacks on either foreigners or citizens BY
mob law are wrongs which call for spon-
taneOus redress and punishment.
II New Orleans will get together with the
rest Of the country on this platform, the diff
Guilty with Italy will not prove incapable of
honorable settlement.

England,s First Pine Lines.

The negotiations which have been taking
place for some time past between the River
Wear Commissioners and the Anglo-American
OIL Company have at length been brought to a
satisfactory conclusion, says the London
Times, and before long new and very exten.
sive industry will be established in Sunder-
land. The Anglo-American Oil Company is
one of the largest concerns in this country or
America 1t owns large oil wells in Pennsyl-
vania, besides feet of specially constructed
steamships for the conveyance OF oil across the
Atlantic.
The company intends to erect works at Hen
don, near Sunderland, covering about two
acres of ground, which will comprise three or
four tanks resembling gasometers in appear
ance, for the reception of the oil. The liquid
will be pumped from their own ships, as they
arrive in the docks, to the tanks referred to-
DOM This is an entirely new industry in the
Port of Sunderland, and capable of assuming
large proportions.
