A New Craze.

A new amusement has been invented
and is the rage in Jacksonville. 1.-THE
scheme is write the letter I'D" on a
sheet Of paper while standing at a table
and try to make the right foot swing in
the opposite direction from that in which
the pencil is following the paper. No
one, 80 far heard from, has been able to
perform the feat. You get your foot
swinging nicely in the opposite direction
from that in which you know you are
going to make the big loop of the I'D,
and firmly resolve that you will keep i.
going the same way while you are
writing, but just as soon as you get
started on the letter your foot gets the
other way The experiment is prol fl, of
considerable amu.emeut.

TIE firm Of John Volk & Co, has just

the others to cost $4,000 each. The
depots to be erected in Texas are be-
tween Terrell and Bowie, likewise are

tire contract to be completed by March 1 &.
Mr.. Volk leaves tomorrow for the west
to look after the contracts, and between
this and spring will make several trips

The firm of Volk & Co. has undertaken
similar contracts for the Rock Island be-

CAN'T "COMET."

Inc Celestial Tramp VIII Hardly do the
Earth Any Damage-How TO See Him
Tonight's Conjunction.
An astronomer, expressing himself on
| the new celestial visitor, tie comet, says
he rises in the east, or rather little
| north OF east, before shutdown, but of
course cannot be seen until after dark.
About q O'Clock he can be found about
half way up the heavens in the east. and
at 8 o'clock Is on or near the meridian
and almost overhead. To be more exsct,
the comet is "a deg. and some minutes
south of our celestial latitude, but as the
sky from zenith to horizon is 80 deg, or
nearly four times as great, the comet is
comparatively nearly overhead when on
the meridian. As before said, this is
about 9 O'Clock in this longitude At
midnight he is about half way down
the western sky and almost due west of
US, and at am. he can be found little
north OF west near the horizon. The
best time to look for the comet and 10
watch for shooting stars would be about
. o'clock were it not for the moon. The
crescent of Luna is pretty large now,
and getting bigger every night, and SIS
long as she is on or near the meridian.
only the brightest stars in the southern
sky can be clearly seen. She is also
nearing the comet and about midnight
tonight will pass to the east of his ma
jesty at distance Of about deg, and
will continue on rapidly, making about
IA deg every night lin "a hours.)
Jupiter and the Moon.
Between IL and 10 O'Clock tonight
the moon will be in conjunction with
Jupiter, and will seemingly almost touch
the great planet. There will in fact, be
an occultation of the planet for some
parts of the earth. The two bodies will
come close enough, however, ito make the
meeting very interesting one, psrticu
larlY as the dark side of the moon will be
toward the planet. The brightness Of
the moon will completely obscure the
comet, and so Mr.. Jupiter and Miss Moor
will have the undivided attention of al
star gszers.

Officer Mulqueen ran in Jack Kennedy
last night for attempting to strike his
mother with chair, and he will explain
the cause of his unseemly conduct to
Magistrate Wivill tonight.
Two boarders at the Franklin house
on First avenue got into dispute last
night and without any preliminary
skirmish whatever both opened fire at
once. In a short time they had aroused
the neighborhood and later found them
selves at the police station, but in the
meantime one of them disposed of his
revolver by throwing it into the river.
They will have q hearing tonight.

WHY THIS CHANGE 2
A Peculiar Feature in Last Nights
Proceedings.

A Peculiar Feature in Last Nights
n. Proceedings.
A report of the proceedings of Council
last night would be incomplete without
reference to the oath taken by the Council
men who were sworn in. The oath was
this:
"You and each one of you do solemnly and
sincerely swear to support the Constitution of
the United States and of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and to perform the duties of
your respective once as Councilman with
fidelity" aau -Iat t.
The following is the oath that has always
been taken heretofore by Councilmen and
other officials of this borough-,mark the
lines in italics, as they represent what the
Councilmen did not swear to this year:
"Schuylkil County, SIS: 1 do swear that 1
will support, obey and defend the Constitution
OF the United States and the Constitution Of
this Commonwealth, and that viii discharge
the duties OF my office with fidelity; that I
haUe not paid or contributed, or promised to
pay or contribute, either directly or indirectly,
any money or other valuable thing, 10 procure
my nomination or election, ercept for necessary
and proper expenses expressly authorized by
Iat0. that 7 have not knotOin0ly Uioiated any

any money or other UdtuabLe thing for The per-
formGnce or aon-pegformaHce Of any act or
duty pertaining TO my office, other than The
compensation aIlolOed by LdU."
The omission of that part of the oath in
italics has remarkable significance in the
minds of some of our citizens. m .. 3.
Chief Burgess Smith was asked why the
customary oath was not applied. He said
that Borough Solicitor Pomeroy had dis
covered, in looking over the law, that the
old.time oath did not apply in the case of
swearing in borough officials and that the
oath that was applied was sufficient.
