He Was in the Milk Trade. but His Scruples
Soon Wore of.
A Brooklyn man from Wiltshire,
whose ideas of milk had been perverted
and abused by contact with the cow in
its native haupts, recently engaged
himself with the proprietor of that
animal engaged in supplying milk to
customers.
The second day the new hand re-
signed. He did not like the business
and wanted TO 60.
An investigation showed that after
washing the cans the day before the
water, as is usual, was left in the n.
Instead of the can which he should
have taken he put the days milk into
those having the washings and started

HOLIDAYS IN COLONIAL TIMES.
Public Omcials Took Life Easy When Nsw
York Was q British Colony.

Public Omcials Took Lie Easy When Nsw
York Was q British Colony.
Public functionaries performing Off
cial duties in halcyon days of old New
York, when it was a British colony,
had a pretty easy time OF it. Their pay
was liberal and was sure. His majesty,
the king of Great Britain, was careful
of his servants. and there were plenty
of holidays. A contrast between the
number of these and the number
legally observed at present shows how
much more time for pleasure and
recreation the old-time officials were
permitted to enjoy. The legal holidays
in the New York departments are New
Years day, Washington's birthday,
Decoration day, Independence day,
Labor day, election day, Thanksgiving
day and Christmas daylight in all,
exclusive of the Saturday half holiday
These are the eight days observed in
the city and in the federal departments
of New York. Here is list of the
holidays observed at the New York
custom house in the last year of Eng
lish rule:
New Years day, the queens birth
day, anniversary of King Charles exc
cution, Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednes
day, Lady day, Good Friday, Easter
Monday, Easter Tuesday, st. Georges
day, King Charles restoration, kings
birthday, Whit Monday, Whit Tues
day, prince of Wales birthday, powder
plot anniversary, Christmas, Christ
mas holidays three days., Fast day,
Thanksgiving day, election day, col
lege commencement day.
These were the stated holidays.
Special ones were added from time tc
holiday in token of the safe arrival OF
a packet" holiday ''in commemoration
of the kings safe return from a seq
voyage" holiday in commemoration Of
the opening of new street" holiday
in commemoration of the repulse OF
the Indians" and other similar oc.
casions of public Office closing. The
English officials in New York believed
above all things else in having good
time. They did not regard a public
office as public trust. They disliked
pernicious activity, and, above all, de-
sired plenty of time for recuperation
from their arduous duties. Some OF
the pretexts for abandoning work
seem, at the present time, very quaint

About Sun Spots.

People hear and read great deal
about the sun spots nowadays. As
tronomers say that the diameter of the
sun is about eight hundred and eighty
thousand miles. and in comparison to
the earth is as a large carriage wheel
to a marble If, therefore. the spots
observed appear to be about one
twentieth the diameter of the disk
they occnpy space about forty-four
thousand miles in diameter. To view
the sun take hay morning or even
ing. when the intervening mist gives
it the appearance of a dull red ball: or
get a couple of pieces of glass large
enough to cover the eye pieces of the
opera glass, and smoke one of them
until you can look at the sun through
it easily. Pat two strips of card be-
tween the ends with the smoked sur
face inside, and attach it to the instru-
ment with a small rubber band. 1t
will be best to get your opera glass ac-
curately focused on some distant object
before adjusting the darkened glasses
to it.-ChicapO Herald.

Capt. Bird, Of Roanoke. made brave
effort to maintain public order in q
Virginia town which was under the
control Of an exasperated mob. There
was negro criminal in jail who was
exposed to the horrors of lynch law.
Mayor Trout had called out the Light
infantry. The mob battered at the Jail
doors. and fired upon the mayor and
Capt Birds men. The militia returned
the fire with destructive effect. and the
mob fell back. carrying off those who
we're killed and wounded.
Capt. Bird and his militia company
had acted with high courage. and were
masters OF the situation. They had
only to hold their ground and to tele.
graph to the governor of Virginia for
achievements in order to inspire re-
spect for law

the defense of the Jail. they were over.

The militia was disbanded and the

quality which commander must con
troll in himself. or else he will impair
it to his men.
Gen. Gordon. in his amazing cam
paign against the Chinese Tai-pings,
was constantly confronted with mutiny
in his own army. His officers and mer
were enraged by his memorable disci
pline, and his stern refusal to allow
them to plumber and loot captured
towns: but shey were invariably mas
tered by his GOODNESS and infieXibls

One day a regiment, which had beer

In a quiet voice ne ordered every
man who was unwilling to embark to
step to the front. One man advanced
with q defiant air. while the regiment
looked on.
Gen. Gordon drew 4 revolver. pre-
sented it at the mutineer's head, and
ordered him to march to- the boats. 1t
was one man against q regiment OF

he was absolutely fearless If he had

The militia is body which can be

emergencies. but if it be employed in
an irresOlute way it will do more harm
than good. The officers must know
how to fight a mob, and to make resO-

won. Nervousness and vacillatiOn are
as fatal in dealing with American mobs
as the same qualities would have been
in disciplining Gen. Gordon's Chinese

NOT THE "AMERICAN POPE.o
SatoIli's Functions, Authority and
Dignity Will BE Enlarged, How
ever.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 2S.-Bishop
Kean, dean of the Catholic University
of America, has given out the informa-
ton as a result of his recent audiences
with the pope that the latter would in
the encyclical letter soon to be issued,
set forth for the first time certain i'm
portant enlargements in the functions,
authority and dignity of the apostolic
delegation in the United States over
which Mgr Satolli presides. Bishop
Kean says he is impressed with the de-
STABILITY of establishing the papal le-
CATION here on a basis commensurate
with the extent and character of this
country. The details of how this will
be accomplished, the bishop does not
state. as they will be known in the en-
cyclical. 1t is probable, however, that
Mgr. Satolli's jurisdiction will be en-
larged and his authority will be SUI
preme in this country and will not be
subject to appeals to Rome. The bishop
said this did not mean the establish
ment of an American pope" as some
times suggested; the supreme authority
of the American legate would extend
to cases of dispute and would be in the
nature of supreme court, subject

O'ROURKE'S POSITION.
Resigned Because There Was a Con-
spiracy Against Him, Matched by
SubOrdinates.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 23.-Ex-Super-
vising Architect ORourke has given out
the correspondence with Secretary Car
Isle. leading to his enforced resignation
In his first letter, Mr.. O'Rourke alleges
the existence of conspiracy against him,
the exposure of WHICH would cause a
grave public scandal, and he, therefore,
asks a postponement of his resignation
until he can be heard. In his reply, Sec
rotary Carlisle disclaimS any specific ac-
cusations against Mr.. O'Rourke's perso-
nal or official integrity, but alleged want
of system and harmony in the adminis-
tration of his office. Mr. O'Rourke,
thereupon, forwarded his resignation, ex-
pressing regret he was not given the
privilege of personal conference with
the secretary, and adding:
II have felt for some time that 1 could
not continue to hold the office without a
surrender of honor and self-respect, be-
cause of the many distractions persist
emily placed in the way of an orderly
and reputable administration of this i'm
pCrtant office, mainly by two of my sub
ordinates, men absolutely without tech
meal or artistic knowledge, who, l re-
greet to say, claim to have the special
countenance and support of the depart
nlent. 1t seems to me that if / have been
so unfortunate as not to satisfy those
gentlemen in the solution of grave ques-
lions of administration, to request my
resignation on that account is a unique
reversal of the action ordinarily taken
when such a state of affairs develop in
a. public office"

SUGAR TRUST INDICTMENTS.

the Action of the Grand Jury.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 23.-The ex-
Ipected indictments against Messrs.
lHevemeyer and Searles. of the Sugar
trust, who refused to answer questions
asked them by the Senate investiga-
ting committee, have been finally franz
ed in the district attorneys office and
only await the action of the grand
jury which will present them to the
lcourt.
The time that has elapsed since the
case was first commenced, has been
consumed in the preparation of these
indictments. No more difficult, tech
meal task has devolved upon the dis
trict attorney for years, chiefly on ac-
count of the lack of precedent. The
brunt of the prosecution of the sugar
trust will rest upon the Indictment
There is no doubt that the lawyers Of
the trust will make motions to quash
the bills, the first step in their defence.
The decision of the criminal court
Judge will doubtless be taken to the
court of appeals of the district. for
although an appeal at that stage of an
Ordinary is not allowed. the court of
appeals makes an exception for a case
Iof extraordinary Importance to save
the expense of criminal trial based
upon an Indictment which may be in
valid. The decision of the appellate
court upon the legitimacy of the indict-
ments, will, therefore, have much
weight in determining the power of a
congressional committee to compel
witnesses to answer questions, or if re-
Ifusing to submit. to punishment for
contempt.
If the court of appeals says that they
!cannot be indicted for such an offense,
that settles the matter unless an at
tempt is made to carry it to the sup
RENE court.
