EXCISE ARRESTS
Made by Supt. Byrnes Surprises His Friends
and Critics.

New YoRK, Sept. q The activity OF
Supt. Byrnes in police circles this week,
has surprised his critics ami his friends. He
h IS taken personal direction of operations
in several precincts with result significant
of the condition of things in the city. Sixty
one arrests for violation of the excise laws
were made early Wednesday morning, in lG
precincts The were not made by central
office detectives, but by the police of the
precincts. Fifty detectives were sent out
from police headquarters shortly after mid
night, il was said, under orders from the
superintendent. What those orders were
was not made known, but they may be in
ferred from the fact that officers in making
arrests said they were acting under Super
iute ndent Byrnt SIS orders. That the expls-
ton was made apparently as an apology for
breaking up what has heretofore been
allowed was the subject of much comment
in police circles, today. 1T is pointed out
that the captains forces can do the precinct
work, but they have waited for "orders"
from headquarters before actually doing it.
1t shows, too, that the central Office can
secure the execution of laws, however diff
cult of enforcement when the word from
the right quarter is given. Two questions
were asked, today, in this connection; first
why is it necessary for the captain to wait
for the superintendent before doing his
duty e? and second, why has not Superinten-
dent Byrnes acted before if he knew bis
command was needed? Another interest
lug observation made was that the present
absence from the city of the Tammany
police commissioners might explain the
activity.

A BIT OF ROMANCE.
Fruit Girl Who Became the Wife q an
Ohio Legislator.


Ohio Legislator.
An interesting and romantic bitof truth
can be told concerning the early life of the
wife of one of Ohio's most gifted legisla-
tors. Twenty years ago in small Ohio
town nestled among the hills of the Hook
ing valley lived little girl of s years, with
black eyes, short, curly hair, clear brunette
skin and known by the appropriate name,
Gypsy. The men who were commercial
travellers in those days who were frequent
ly along the road will remember Gypsy as
she swung herself on the car steps as the
train pulled in, with blue coat and cap
and large basket Of fruit and confcc-
tioncry ON her arm. She would pass from
coach to COACH disposing of her wares.
She rode to and from the depot in the
great bus or ON passing drays and would
make frequent sales en- route. Gypsy was
u general favorite both with the citizens
on tho train and with the travelling public.
The little girl was the main support CT the
family, as both the father and brother
were addicted to drink. AT the age of IA
Gypsy realized she could not well continue
the work she had SO long and successfully
engaged in. The operators and depot en-
ployees We're greatly interested in the
child, and a generous, well to do, elderly
man rendered her as loan sum suffi-
cient to meet necessary expenses while she
studied telegraphy. The offer was accept
ed. Later she went to Columbus and ac-
cepted a position as operator, and it was
here the legislator met her, admired, woocd
and won her. Her husband was elected to
second term as representative and proved
an active, valuable member of the house.
His wife was always admired and loved.
She was always bright and yivacious. Her
many friends were gratified that her lines
should have fallen in such pleasant places,
as she so justly deserved they should

YOU NEVER SAW A FULL MOON.
So Says One of the Leading Astronomers
OF the Present Day.

Did you ever see "full moon?" asks
writer in the st. Louis Republic.
know what your answer will be with
out waiting for it. 1t is this: Eyes,
once every month since have been
old enough to pay attention to such
phenomena" Yet | take the position
that you are badly mistaken, and that
in all probability you have never in
your life beheld the full face of our
''silvery sister world" BY way of so~
lution let us see what it takes to con.
stitute a ''full moon" in the exact
sense of the term: A full moon occurs
only when our obsequious attendant is
one hundred and eighty degrees of
longitude from the sun, Old Sol and the
earth being on the ecliptic. But the
moons orbit is inclined to the ecliptie
At an angle of five degrees eight min
utesforty-seven seconds and is there
fore never on the ecliptic except when
at it's modes" or crossings.
This being the case, what we call the
circular disk of the moon full noon
lackSconsiderable of being an exact
cirole, being what astronomers term
''in state of gibbosity," and is never
a, perfect disk except when "a full
moon" happens exactly at the time
when Luna is crossing the ecliptic, at
which time she must necessarily be
centrally eelipted. One of our best
present day astronomers, in conclud-
ing an article of much merit on the
same subject, says; "We therefore con-
clude that real full moon, one having
a perfect circle, has rarely, if ever,
been SEEN"

VALUES AMONG cHEWsuRES.
A Queer People Who Know Nothing of
the Use of Money.

A Queer People Who Know Nothing of
the Use Of Money.
In the present publication of the I'm
perial Geographical society of Russia
is the surprising announcement that
the Chewsures-a race of seven thou
sand people-in the department OF
Troust, government of Tifis, know
nothing of the use of money as,
medium of exchange. The unit of
valuation among the primitive people
is the COW. A horse is valued at three
cows and stallionat six. If Chew
sure becomes enraged and cracks his
neighbor's skull he is obliged to pay
sixteen cows. If he breaks bone of
his neighbours arm five cows will re-
habilitate him in the eyes of society,
A wound in the forehead calls for three
calves. If one cuts another in the part
of the face usually covered by. the
beard the punishment is comparative
II severe. The 'doctor" places as many
grains of wheat along the cut as pos
sible. For each grain of wheat so
used the criminal must give up COW.
Wounds in the beardless part of the
face call for one-third as many cows
only. The man who Injuries a neigh
boris hand surrenders sixteen cows,
Thirty cows even will pay for the loss
of an eye. The people are said to be
happy and contented. No misers exist
among them!
