The breaking up of winter should remind
the Board of Public Works of the impor-
lance Of beginning as soon as possible the
work that is expected to be done this sea-
SON There are several urgent reasons why
this should be done. In the first place the
sooner the work is begun the more can be
accomplished during the season Public
work moves proverbially slow at best, and
as only about half the year can be utilized
for outdoor work. care should be taken not
TO waste any Of that period. Already the
frost is out OF the ground and the weather
is favorable for open-air work There will
be some rough weather yet. but little, il
any. in which public work cannot be prose
cuted. Another reason why work should be
begun as soon as possible is TO put an end
10 the present system Of dispensing aid
and place the unemployed on an independ-
ent self-supporting footing. The experience
OF this city has been that OF all others-the
more charity is dispensed the more it is
demanded and leaned upon The inevitable
tendency Of all charity systems is TO in
crease the number OF unworthy applicants

The employment OF some nuns as teach
ers in one of the public schools of Pittsburg
has caused quite commotion among some
Of the good people of that city. and 1t is
said steps will be taken to test the legality
OF their employment Unless there is some
special and unusual provision in the laws
OF Pennsylvania not to be found in other
States II is difficult to see on what ground
such a proceeding can be based. Certainly
1t would not lie in this State. There is
nothing In the Constitution or laws of Indi-
ana fixing a religious qualification for pub
lie schoolteachers, and this is probably the
case in Pennsylvania. If the nuns appointed
in the Pittsburg school are otherwise quail
fled. and If they do not attempt to teach
religion, Protestant teachers are not
permitted to do, the Journal fails to see
any occasion for the hubub over the matter.

waited for hundreds Of years. The stock
Is kept pure. and the Chinese raise speci-
mems, perfect in form, fin and color.
At his country seat weil-knOwn New
York banker has a fine specimen of the
Chinese paradise fish. There is, perhaps.
not another specimen Of this variety in
the rev world. The paradise fish is an
ornamental fish, cultivated for the aqua
rum in China. What makes this fish
remarkable are its ColOrs, which surpass
in brjBiancy any fish bred for the pur-
pose. In shape and size its body il not
unlike that Of the pumpkin seed sunfsh
Here are some of the colors and marking.
The side Of the body and the crescent
shaped Caudal fin are deep crimson, the
former having ten or a dozen blue stripes,
while the fin has blue border The gills ara
blue, bordered with bright crimson. The
head is gray, with dark spots. The re-
markable feature of the paradise fish is
the under surface of the body. This is
continually changing cOlor-at one time
it is white, and at another time 1t is
gray or black. The dorsal fms, which
are striped, dotted with blue The pee
torals are transparent and show no color.
Altogether the paradise fish is a wonder
full product.
Another ornamental fish which is inter
esting Is the Chinese comet goldfish. 1t
attracts attention on account of its i'm
mense caudal fms, which spread out like
sails when the comet fish is swimming.
The scalel,sss goldfish is common in Ger
many. AS the name would indicate, the
popularity of this goldfish is that the
body is entirely without scales. Here one
sees the heart, the vertebral column and
the divided air bladder, by means OF
which the fish are able to rise or sink at
will. The whole internal machinery Of
the fish is open for inspection. To
supply the demand for odd and
curious fish, the dealers send
for specimens in different parts
of the world They know that if they
can obtain freak" they can secure a
good price from their wealthy customers.
On this order is the pair of white axolotl
from Mexico which are TO be seen in the
aquarium of New York dealer These
Mexican freaks are batrachians, with
four feet and tails. The brown variety
are not uncommon, but the white axolotl
live in the dark, and If they are exposed
for any length of time to the sunlight they
change their color and become brown.
The peculiar feature of the white axolotl
is that the exterior gills are so transpa-
rent that the circulation of the blood cor
puscles can be readily seen under a mag
nifying glass.

savannah,s Deep Water.



The growth of Savannah as a seaport
has been remarkable. All the southern
ports have, in the last three years, in.
creased their business at much more
rapid rate than any other ports in this
country, and Savannah has kept pace
with the most rapid Improvement of them
all
The recent work Of deepening the har-
Dor and channel of Savannah will be of
immense benefit to that city. At that
port there is now a minimum depth at
mean low water of seventeen and a halt
feet, which is equivalent to twenty-four
at high water. This will enable any ship
drawing twenty-three to twenty-three
and a half feet of water to come up to the
Savannah wharves.
The improvement will continue, and 1t
is believed that within six months a
depth of twenty-siX feet at mean high
water will be obtained from the city to
the sea.
Savannah is destined 10 become before
long a much more important seaport than
she has ever been before.

MURDERER HOWARD HANGED.
COMMITTED by the Governor and Sent
East to be Tried.
He Killed Five Persons in Kentucky
Vendetta, and One in
Missouri.

On January 4, 1891, Governor Mark
ham commuted the sentence of Charles
Brown, who was convicted in the Su-
perior Court of Calaveras County for
robbery, and sentenced to eight years
Imprisonment in the States Prison, to
149 days, ending on the day of the COM
mutation, on condition that he be taken
to Missouri forthwith.
His reason for the communication was
that Brown had been indicted in Maries
County, Missouri, under the name of
Wilson Howard, for the crime OF mur-
der, and that requisition had been
issued by the Governor Of Missouri for
his extradition.
1t was shown that Brown and Howard
were the same person, and that he had
murdered a deaf mute, that he was a
desperate OF the worst character, and had
been indicted in Harlan County, Ken
tucky, for the murder of five different
persons.
Believing that the interests of justice
would be best served by committing his
sentence and delivering him to the agent
of the State of Missouri, to be taken there
and tried for murder, the Communication
was granted.
The Governor yesterday received tel
egram from l. V. Imboden Of Lebanon,
Mo-, saying that Howard was executed
at 9:l5 O'Clock yesterday morning.
a telegram was received by the REC
ORD-UNION yesterday, dated Lebanon,
Mo-, January 18th, giving further partic-
ulars Of his crime and execution, as fol-
lows:
Wilson Howard was hanged here to-
day for the murder of deaf mute named
Morris McMichael, in Maries County, in
1889. Howard was a Kentuckian, and
was at one time mixed up in one of the
bloodiest vendettas ever known in that
State. McMichael was stopping with a
deaf mute friend. Howard, representing
himself as a detective, went to the house,
took McMichael into the woods and
killed and robbed him OF $50 and fled.
He was tracked to the Pacific Coast and
found in California penitentiary. When
his term expired he was brought back
and convicted. and to-day was hanged.
early this morning Howard was bap-
tized by the Methodist Episcopal minis
ter, and on the scaffold he said: Friends,
one and all, we shall meet in heaven
Just before his execution Howard con-
fessed to the Sheriff that he had taken
poison. Physicians examined him. and
found him suffering from morphine poi
soning, but it was not severe enough to
cause death. The details of the execution
were therefore hurried.'
