Our physician was in the habit of as.

by asking him to count, and generally
stopped him at thirty or thirty-fve-

4 Dictionary Story.


When Or. Sam johnson had completed
his dictionary, which, after long years of
correction, had completely exhausted the
patience of Mr.. Andrew Millar, the pub
Usher, the latter acknowledged the receipt
of the last sheet in the following note:
"Andrew Millar sends his compliments
to Mr.. Samuel johnson, with the money
for the last sheet of the copy Of the die
tionary. and thanks God he has done with
him."
To this rude note the old doctor returned
the following bright answer:
Samuel johnson returns his compli
ments to Mr. Andrew Millar, and is very
glad to fnd-as he does by his note-that
Andrew Millar has the grace to thank God
for anything"
It will interest our lawmakers at this
day to know that the word Excise" Of
Tended the ministry of the king, and it was
submitted to Mr.. Murray, then attorney
general, and afterward Lord Mansfield
whether it was not libel for which the
old scholar should be at once arrested.
The following is copy of the case sub
mitted, with the opinion of the attorney
general upon it:
Mr. Samuel Johnson has lately published a
book entitled "a Dictionary of the English
Language" in which the words are deducted
from the originals, and illustrated in their
different Specifications by examples from the
best writers, to which are prefxed history Of
the language and an English grammar.
Under the title Excise are the following
words: Excise, n. S. (accijs, Dutch; excisium.
Latin), hateful tax levied upon commodities,
and adjudged, not by the common judges Of
property, but by wretches hired by those to
whom excise is paid.
THE people should pay a ratable tax for
their sheep and an excise for everything that
they should eat.-Hayward.

By farmed excise.

The authors definition being observed by
the commissioners of excise they desire the
favor of your opinion.
Observation-Disclosures it will not he considered
as libel, and if so whether it ia not proper to
proceed against the author, printers and pub
fishers thereof, or any or which Of them, by III
formation, or how otherwise?
OPINION.
I am of opinion that it is a libel; out under
all the circumstances should think 1t is better
to give him an opportunity Of altering his def
milton, and in case he doesn't threaten him
with prosecution. (Signed) w. MURRAY.
Time was allowed for johnson to alter
his definition, but he was not to be fright
ened, and so this definition, with many
equally quaint and amusing, remains in
the dictionary. To think of prosecuting
the author of such a book in this freer day
would be laughed at by even the newsboys

TAG o,A, Wash, Sept. 2G. Tho bold
bank robbery continues the one alb
sorbing theme Mt this place. TIE out
laws so neatly and coolly executed the
work they had so adroitly planned out
and their deed was perpetratrd in such
bold manner that the citizens and Off
cials were too much startled to give
hastv pursuit of the robbers.
1t was pay day at the Roslyn mine.
Forty thousand dollars arrived
from Tacoma in the morning.
The robbers probably supposed
the money was placed in the bank, but
it was taken to the company's office
They executed their plan in Il manner
which would have done credit TO the
James boys. Cashier Abcrnathy was
writing when the first robber entered
and turned to wait on the supposed GUS
toner, but found himself facing a 45
| caliber Colts revolver. Dr. Lyons,
who had entered just after the high
waymen, turned to go out but dashed
against pair of Colts in the hands
of the second robber. A third confed-
crate entered, picked up Cashier Aber-
nathy's revolver and knocked him down
with it. He rose, his head streaming
with blood, and was told to keep quiet
| if he wanted to live. The third man
then walked to the safe, took out the
coin and bills, showed the money in a
canvas bag and threw it over his shoul-
der The three men phen went out,
Joining the two others, who had been
stationed so as to guard all approaches.
O. A. Frazier, assistant cashier, who
was outside, grabbed shotgun and
made for the bank, but one of the rob
bers stopped his progress by placing a
bullet in his hip. a colored man was
shot in the leg and several others had
narrow escapes. One of the robbers
held the rcins of five splendid horses,
and as soou as the vault was looted, all
mounted. fired up and down the streets,
put spurs to their horses and dashed
away, disappearing on the trail over
the mountains north of Roslyn. The
sheriff was notified some time after
ard n large posse started in pursuit.
1t is believed they can not escape,

try will aid the officers The manager

INNOCENT MAN HANGED


FOR Crime lie Never Commtted-The
Guilty Assns>in Contcsse"
NEw ORLEANS, Sept. 2G.-Ex-Judgc
j. c. Bauman, of bonneville. was ar
rested in this city charged with being
accessory to the attempted assassina-
tion Of Judge Long, in kcnnerville,
La, last July He was talSen to GretnG
by Sheriff Landridgc, of jefferson par
ish, and locked up.
Bauman's arrest grows out Of the con-
fession of Dennis Richards. colored,
who was arrested last Friday in the
swamp near Boutte. Richards admits
that he fired the shot which wounded
Judge Long, but further says that Bau-
man offered him 500 TO kill Long.
He says that he was in communica-
ton with Bauman after the shooting
and that Bauman promised to send him
money and use his influence to get him
out of trouble.
The confession of Richards was a sur
prise and the accusation he makes
against Bauman creates a sensation,
both in Kennerville and in this city
where he is well known. Another
feature in this case is that few weeks
ago colored man named Dicon was
| lynched for the very crime which Rich
ards now confesses that he committed
| 10y himself, instig ated by Bauman.

WHAT sUsTAlNs THE MOON.
The Earth Keeps 1t From Flying Furthe:
AWaN.

The Earth Keeps 1t from IlylnE Eurthe-
Away.
We have read how the coffin of Mo-
hammed was poised without support in
the mosque OF the faithful, from which
all unbeliev evers were so rigidly eX-
cluded; no ma terial support was neces-
sary to sustain the remains of the
prophet; the body itself seemed ever ON
the point of following the departed
spirit to the realms of bliss. A peren-
NAL miracle was indeed necessary to
sustain the revered sacrophagus in space.
The infdel, no doubt, is somewhat
Bceptic about this marvellous phenome-
non, and now, as ever the truth is
stranger than fiction. Far over our
heads there is a asst globe larger and
heavier than mi lions of sarcophagi; no
material support is rendered to that
globe, yet there it is sustained from day
to day, from year to year, from century
to century.
What is it that prevents the moon
falling. That is the question which now
lies before us. 1t is assuredly the case
that the earth continually attracts the
moon The effect of the attraction is
now, however, shown in actually draw
ing the moon closer to the earth, for
this, as we have seen, does not happen,
but the attract on of the earth keeps
the moon from going further away
from the earth than it would otherwise
do. Suppose, for instance, that the at
traction of the earth were suspended
the moon would no longer follow its
orbit, but would sta rt off in straight
line in continuation of the direction in
which it was moving at the moment
when the earth's action was intercepted
What Newton did was to show, from
the circumstances of the moons dis
tance and movement, that it was at
| tracted by the earth with force of the
same descrip tion as that by which the
same globe attracted the apple, the diff
ference being that the intensity of the
force becomes weaker the greater the
distance of the attracted body from the
earth, In fact the attraction of the
earth on a ton of matter at the distance
of the moon would be withstood by an
exertion not greater than that which
would suffice to sustain about three
quarters of pound at the surface of
| the earth-Good Words.

Court to the Grand Jury.

Big Fight Against New Orleans Gambling
Houses-A Sweeping Charge From the
Court to the Grand Jury.
New ORLEANS, Sept 23.-The biggest
fight ever made here against the gam
blers began Thursday. The state law
prohibits gam bling, but it has not been
enforced for years, and in the face Of
the law Mayors Shakespeare and Gull
lotte licensed the gambling saloons, the
latter paying money to the city authori-
ties for support of the alms-house.
During the last few weeks there have
been several scandals connected with
the gambling houses, several ugly
rows occurring in them, and a case
of sharpers beating the gamblers out
of some S1o,0 900 with loaded dice. The
gamblers foolishly squealed over their
loss, thus calling attention to the pub
licity with which they We're carrying
on their business in defiance of the
law. Thursday Judge Ferguson, of the
criminal district court, ordered the
grand jury to make special investiga-
tion of the gambling houses. He call
ed attention to the law, and pointed
out where a number of faro and other
houses were carried on in defiance OF
it, naming the streets and buildings in
which the business is conducted. He or
dered the grand jury to at once take ac-
ton in the matter, not only against
the gamblers, but against the mem
bers of the police force who, knowing
this violation of the law to be going on
In their precincts, failed to report it.
Judge Ferguson found the grand jury
in full sympathy with him in this raid
on the gamblers. 1t summoned the
necessary witnesses at once and called
upon Chief of Police Caster to close all
gambling institutions in the city, arrest
all persons found therein. seize all
gambling paraphernalia and bring it tc
the police station, and to report from day
TO day what progress he had made IN
the matter of closing the gambling
houses. The move is begun in earnest
for Judge Ferguson is strongly pledgec
to break up gambling, and has begun g
crusade which he and the grand jury
will keep up to the end, and if the po
lice do not act they are likely to get
into troble. The gambling saloons
have always been open in New Orleans
except for week once.

BALTIMORE, Sept 2G.-The anxious
members of the Iron Fall are not IN
spired with confidence by the secretive
way in which the officers are perfecting
the reorganization. There We're 105
persons present Saturday, and of these
20 were delegates.
The doors were carefully guarded,
the proceedings absolutely secret, and
even the members can get no informa-
ton except that which is sifted through
the appointed press committee and
given by the chairman, Augustus Bed
ford, great friend of Somerby, whose
purpose seems to be to say as little as
possible.
A few of the western delegates kicked,
but the eastern ones ran the conven'
tion. Somerby was elected supreme
commander of the new Iron Hall
which has been Incorporated under the
laws of Maryland, with headquarters
in Baltimore; j. Albert Clark, of Exeter
n. H., past supreme commander; A. II
Hosmer, of Baltimore, supreme ac
countant; Joseph /. Harris, supreme
cashier; DIR. Baker, of Philadelphia
supreme medical director. The fnancia
plan of the new order is to pay $1,000
in seven years for $780, or $500 for s225
