Something Green on the Moon.

The tariff may have nothing 10 do with
1T, but the fact remains that the astrono-
mers as well as the manufacturers are
getting a hump on themselves" That
is the vernacular equivalent for resuming
business activity. Profs. Schiaparelli,
Holden and others are discussing the
queer sights that have been seen on Mars
recently; and now comes a Chicago
astronomer who tells US about something
extraordinary on, or in, the moon. He
says he has discovered a great green
patch on the moon; patch that nobody
before him had ever seen. He does not
know what it is, but has an idea that it
may be grass.
The first thought that suggests itself
in connection with the Chicago mans
discovery is that maybe Haywood was
right when he said 1.-The income is made of
greene cheese" But, then a, green cheese
IS not green in color any more than an I'M
ripe Chicago astronomer is; hence there
is probably nothing in "a green cheese
theory. The grass theory would be better
If it was not at variance with so many
Others that hold the moon to be without
life and place of most intense cold.
Grass, of the kind that we are familiar
with down here on earth, couldn't grow
in place where there is perpetual and
superlative frigidity and a total lack
of atmosphere; still there may be more
grasses than we're ever dreamed of in the
philosophy of the author of the famous
legend, keep off the grass" There may
be lunar grasses of different character
from the sub-lunar grasses and still hav-
ing the same color; and then again there
may not. The Chicago man thinks it was
grass he saw. He is entitled to his opin-
ion Other people will be inclined to
think there was merely something green
in the mans eye. And they are entitled
to their opinion.

One of the jolliest conventions held in
Chicago this year, according to the news
papers of that city, was that Of the coffin
makers, which has just adjourned. The
principle topic discussed by the conven-
tion was the effect of the new tariff on the
mortuary situation and the outlook. The
coffin business has been depressed FOR
eighteen months, but the makers do not
blame it upon the fear of tariff legis-
lation; nor do they expect a speedy re-
vival in sales to follow the resumption in
other lines of business. BY way of ac-
counting fer the duh times, one delegate
said the people were too poor to hire doc
tors, hence there was not so much de-
mand for collins. The same delegate
asked that the people be informed by the
press that they would be wasting time to
delay their final dissolution in the hope
that the new tariff would make collins
a great deal cheaper.

One of the funniest features of the cam

selves democrats to push Tom Watson of
the financial plank of the populist plat
form in order that they may get on it
themselves.

Capt. Kolb, the Alabama pretender, is
going into the newspaper business at Biz
mingham. 1t is a little queer that the
populist bosses turn naturally to news
papers. The explanation, however, may
be found in the fact that while they are
anxious to educate the people" in their
peculiar beliefs, they are also anxious
that the people should pay for their edu-
cation ana at the same time drop little
something into the pockets Of the educa-
tors. And then it is so much easier to
solicit subscriptions while upon the
stump than it is to buttouhole individ-

A correspondent of the MORNING NEWS
writing from Valdosta calls attention to
the fact that, counting representatives
and senators, the counties in the Second
and Eleventh congressional districts
will have in the general assembly forty
seven votes. The districts of some Of
the state senators who reside in the Sec
ond and Eleventh congressional districts,
however, extend into other congressional
districts. OF the forty-seven votes from
the two districts, our correspondent
says Mr.. Turner will certainly receive
forty, and he may get forty.hve, for the
senatorship.

law prohibiting keepers of hotels, restau-

between people on account of their color
does not apply TO storekeeper, but that
the latter may choose the persons with
whom he wishes to do business. The peo-
pie of the north and west prate about the

q conference with the knights Of Pythias
committee. The citizens committee assem-
bled in room 10, Warder building. at the
same time a meeting Of the Knights Of
Pythias committee was going on in their
room across the hall. Some of the fifteen
members of the citizens committee were
out of the city and others were unable to
attend on account Of the shortness of the
notice. so there were but eight of the fif-
teen present last evening. These were
Messrs. John r. Carmody, John Joy Edson
Duncan S. Walker. George h. Emmons.

Johnson and Charles q. Conn. 1t was de-
cidei to simply organize temporarily and
have conference with the Knights OF
Pythias committee, after which, when II
was definitely known what work the COM
mittee has before IL and other members OF
the committee were present. a permanent
chairman should be chosen and the work
properly blocked out. Representative Conn
was chosen TO preside over the committee
Temporarily and Gen. duncan 5. Walker
was selected to act as secretary. The COM
niittee then proceeded to the room where
the knights of Pythias We're assembled.
Comforting With the knights.
When they entered the room all the
knights rose to their feet, while Chairman
Richard Goodhart on behalf of the Pythians
babe the visitors welcome. He said he
voiced the thought of all the members of
the order when he stated to the citizens
that the knights of Pythias Were glad Of
the cooperation which they designed to
give. Representative Conn then asked
Chairman Goodhart to explain what the
citizens committee was expected to do. He
wanted their duties outlined SO they might
enter into them Understandings at the
earliest time possible. Chairman Goodhart
said the Pythans wanted money to carry
on the campaign of reception. They must
have it. The city of Washington was pledg-
ed to welcome the knights of Pythias in a
knightly way. and this pledge could not be
redeemed without money.
Before the grand lodge OF this juris-
dicticn ventured on extending an invita-
ton to the Supreme Lodge a consultation
was held with the board of District Com
missioners and the board Of trade The
former body sanctioned the plan. and the
latter encouraged the projectors. 1t was

CHINESE NEW YEARS

Fired Out of Chinatown in a Roar Of
Crackers and Bombs.
The celebration of the Chinese New
Year wound up in a blaze of glory last
night.
The procession took place as usual in
the afternoon in presence of many on
lockers. At O'Clock in the evening the
first gun of the wind-up was fired by the
Bing Hong Tong society. A string Of
firecrackers woven together into a rope
about ten feet long, with large crackers
woven into it at intervals, was let down
from the balcony and the lower end ig-
nited.
At first it resembled the scattering fire
along the picket line so familiar to the
veterans of the Civil War, but in few
minutes the skirmish line opened fire,
the twelve-pounders joined in, while here
and there was heard heavy gun pound
ing away, and the full roar of battle was
in full swing. Platoon firing, firing at
will and the boom of the cannon all were
mixed up in indistinguishable confusion,
the only lull being when a new string OF
combustibles were touched off. l street
ioined in and the quarters that were a
year ago riddled with bullets from the
Bing Hong Tong headquarters took it up,
and for two hours the din overpowered
every other sound and persons block
away could hardly hear each other talk.

IHE New York World says: "What
most banquets need is not more wine.
Dut larger number Of corks." That is
to say, there is too much of after-dinner
speaking, and too many attempts orator

by brains and culture. This is putting it
that post-prandial speakers should be
orators; the social rather than The orator
ical is the chief element in these affairs
Then, too, many a speaker K 4y have
truths TO impart, original conceptions to
advance. and graceful expressions in crit
icism to pronounce, who lays no claim to
oratorical ability. A man may be good
tslker and poor orator; at dinner he
may be the exponent of wisdom without
quence or graees # oratory. No, the
sfter-dinner talks. the banquet speeches
or attonsg. st speaking, have positive
values; though six out of ten may be alb
safd or grotesque or stupid, there is a
value social, cultivatiDg and disciplinary
in them that justifes the custom. If only
those who are admittedly orators and
ripe scholars are to be called upon on
these festive occasions, and no others, the
social element in the banquet will be
pretty rapidly eliminated. No, let each
one called upon when the supper
is in and wit is bid to come out be en-
couraged to respond, even though he is
not an orator, provided he has something
practical, witty or kindly to say.

THERE is no reason for regret over the
manner of the loss of the old warship
Kearsarge. She had done her full duty
these many years, and it was more be-
fitting her splendid history that she
should go to her death upon 'the Snorer"
than be laid up in ''rotten row." to be the
subject of pity and the gaze of the curious
dismantled, roofed-in and dubbed a
''hull," the rotting disgrace of one time
greatness. No, the life of the Kearsarge
ended we'll. 1t was beaten out OF her in
