RACING STARS.
Advancing and Receding Bodies In tho
Stellar Universe.

Advancing and Receding Bodies In the
Stellar Universe.
A writer in the Monthly Packet,
describing the movement of the stars,
says: A star which, in the course of a
century, makes visible advance over a
space in the sky equal to only small
portion of the width of the full moon,
is looked upon as fast voyager, and
one hundred times this amount in q
good many stars would not, in the
course of centuries, materially change
the face of our midnight sky.
But when we leave behind us such
movements as can be detected by the
eye, and try to picture to ourselves the
actual far-off whirl of these glorious
suns, the effect on the mind is over
towering.
Aldebaran is hasting away from us,
and SO Is Castor, not to speak of many
more. Arcturus, Vega. Pollux, Regu-
lus, are Fastening towards us. All
these at, speeds varying from some five
miles to. some thirty miles per second
Other stars far OUTRAGE these in the
whirl of the stellar universe. At
present none is known to exceed the
speed of Arcturus, that magnificent
sun of the southern heavens, which
PUSHES onward, according to recent
calculations, at n pace of three hundred
Snd seventyhve miles each second
The size of Arcturus is believed to be
very great, far beyond that of our sun;
at all events the amount of light which
he pours out is enormously in excess Of
that emitted by our sun. 1t is
reckoned. indeed, to be as much as
would proceed from about eight
Thousand such suns as ours. Size,
brightness and speed aeem to be all in
proportion.

IN EAST INDIAN PRISONS.
A Strange Custom That Fills tho Jahs
with Patriarchs.


A Strange Custom That Fills tho JaAs
with Patriarchs.
A student of life and manners in tho
Punjaub has been struck by the large
proportion of very old men in the In
dian jails. In the prison at Mooltan,
saws the London News, there were last
year seventeen life prisoners whose
total ages were found to amount to
more than eleven hundred years, two
of them being patriarchs of upward OF
eighty. This remarkable fact is at
tributed partly to the great improve
ment in the economy of Indian jails,
since the exposure of their mismanage-
ment some years ago, but more direct
" to the prevalent practice when
crime has been committed of handing
over the least useful member of the
family as a sort of vicarious offering to
justice.
On this point the inspector general Of
Indian prisons observes that the con-
fnement which conviction entails is,
of course, less irksome to the aged than
to the young. Moreover" he con-
tinues, ''the people know that spe-
cially comfortable place in the shape
of good food, ample clothing, special
dietary, the ightest of work, and a
society not entirely uncongenial awaits
the old man in our jails." A case has
been cited in which a man had been
strangled. The person to whom the
crime, by his own confession, was
brought home was feeble old fellow
who had been paralyzed in both arms
for twenty years and could not have
committed the crime. But as his fam
ily all said he did it and as there we're
plenty of "eye witnesses" the old man
went cheerfully to jail, and lies there
still.

National Finances.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: / see by the
dispatches that the in-going Secretary of
the National Treasury finds the same de-
pleted, there being no funds available
other than the reserve of s., 100000 in
gold; and 1 see further that the question
has arisen as to the method to be pursued
in supplying the necessary funds to meet
expenditures. "It is necessary to issue
bonds or trench on the National reserve"
Why do either? If it is necessary to have
n reserve of that amount, it would be
against good policy to diminish it in any
way; and on the other hand, why issue
bonds, as the issuance of bonds incurs ex-
pense in the way of interest on the pub
lie debt?
" Now, it seems strange that men having
the public interest at heart could over
look the precedent set on this very subject
by Lincoln, of revered memory, who in
1862 issued $50, ,000, 900 in green backs, and
by so doing avoided the creation of a
debt and furnished the legal tender that
carried per cent. premium; said green
backs being based on the faith and in
tegrity OF the nation.
Can it be possible that the party which
at the last general election, by an over
whelming vote of popular confidence,
will fail TO reciprocate in like manner, or
are we to take it for granted that they,
recognizing party rottenness, are willing
to act on the hypothesis that such rotten
ness pervades the national honor? Hence
their failure TO profit by the example re-
1erred to above.
And, in conclusion, is it not the best
evidence that the volume of money now
in circulation is not adequate to do the
country's business without the necessity
OF going into debt to meet present needs

TRUE CHARITY.

Ten Noble-Hearted Young Ladies Give
500 for the Poor.
Yesterday Richard Dale, Secretary and
Executive Officer of the Howard Benev-
olent Association, received an envelope
containing SlG0 ''from club of ten young
ladies'" and directing that it be applied to
relieving the wants Of the poor.
THAT" said Mr.. Dale to a RECORD
UNION reporter, sis what 1 call true
charity. These young ladies have raised
the money, or contributed it themselves,
and ask that it be used to relieve distress.
That, sir, is true charity-there is no
playing to the gallery"
Referring to the death of a Mr.. Giroux
and the statement that the bereaved fam
lily was in want, Mr.. Dale said it was no
doubt true, as related by the RECORD
UNIONS correspondent yesterday, but he
said the Howards had not been unmind-
ful of the fact. The association had sent
them a cord OF wood and $40 worth of
clothing and shoes, but, of course, it did
not go far.
While there is always more or less dis
tress here, as in other cities, Mr.. Dale
says that it is as nothing compared to the
condition of things in the larger Eastern
cities, as well as those of Europe, Aus
tralia and even in Honolulu, as he learns
from travellers.

SIREE4-CAR RULES.
All Reasonable Ones Must be Com
piled With.
So Declares the Supreme Court In De.
Gliding a Case Appealed From
MarySyille.

The average citizen and the Supreme
Court do not always agree as to the legality
of rules and regulations imposed by COM
mon carriers for observance by those who
patronize them. That tribunal now de-
clares that it is right and proper for per-
sons riding in street cars that have no
fare-collectors to deposit their fares on
entering a car. The case in point is that
of George Nye VS.. the Marysville and
Yuba City Street Railroad Company.
The action was brought to recover dam
ages for an alleged wrongful eviction
from one OF defendants street cars, the
circumstances, as recited by the court
being as follows:
Among the rules of the company, posted
in the car, was one requiring passengers
to deposit their fare upon entering. This
rule was reasonable and necessary to
prevent fraud upon the company.
Plaintiff was not ignorant of the rule, as
shown by his testimony, and after he had
seated himself in the car and had ample
time to comply with this rule, his atten-
ton was called to it and he was requested
to paw his fare. Instead of complying,
plaintiff said he was going to Yuba City,
and had plenty of time to pay. The
driver insisted that he must pay then;
to which plaintiff retorted that he (the
driver) twas in too much of hurry"
and that he (the plaintiff) would take a
little time on that"
He was then told to get off the car. or
he would be put off. Not complying
with this request, the driver attempted to
remove him from the car, but was un-
successful. A second attempt resulted in
the driver being put out on the platform,
plaintiff remarking: "If you have any
business there on the platform, you had
better attend to it,"
The driver then removed an iron used

arrested, and a charge of assault to muir
der placed against HIM.
There will probably be little chance OF
convicting them at this late day, as all the
evidence obtainable will be that of their
Chinese countrymen, and no two of them
will testify alike upon any fact in connec-
ton with the riot

the car and again ordered the plaintiff to

liant was not struck or injured in any
way. He had ridden about block and

At the conclusion of the evidence Of
fered by plaintiff, defendant moved for a
nonsuit, which was granted, and judg-
ment was entered against the plaintiff,
who thereafter gave notice of his inten-
ton to move for q new trial upon state
ment of the case. The statement was
thereafter prepared and settled, and upon
the hearing the motion for new trial
WAS denied. The appeal was from the
Judgment and the order denying said
