injury, but three days later We had freeze

ON A TERRIBLE RAMPAGE.
Chicago's Mayor Wields the OfhciaI
Az Right and Left.

A sweeping police order went into effect at
Chicago. H.. by which hundreds Of official
heads fell under the republican AK OF the
Swift administration. By The order the offices
of inspector aud chiei OF detectives is done
away with, and John D. Shea one OF the best
thief cHtchers in America is transferred to the
Daspaines street station, succeeding lnspec-
tor Lyman Lewis. vino was allowed to re
sign. This is regarded is a reduction and it
is all because Shea was unfortunate enough
to be a democrat.
\ dozen captains were reduced in rank. A
dozen ieutenants were allowed to decapitate
themselves, and 80 patrolmen were let out
and others appointed in their stead. This
foreshadows wholesale sweeping out OF
democrats from the police force by Mayor
Swift, no reason being assigned.

New York society has SO frequently

American city. 1t has all the fanlts of
its elements, domestic and foreign. 1t

NEW YORK LETTER.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

With the adjournment at Albany
the first campaign in the struggle for
municipal reform in New York is
ended. Contrasting the situation to-
day with that of year ago 1t is i'm
possible to deny that in spite of many
disappointments much has been
gained. First and fundamental Is the
separation between municipal and
general elections. This will max,
future reform victories elsier. The
important office of Mayor is filled by
a man who is beyond the reach OF
Tammany influence aud who can afford
to defy, Ms he has defied, the Repub.
lican machine He holds in his hands
the authority conferred by the Power
Of Removal bill. The Police Board,
while nominally bipartisan, is really
non-partisan. The civil-service-re-
form idea is no longer considered an
"irridescent dream. The two munic-
ipal departments which enjoy the
numerical patronage, the Public
Works and Street-Cleauing Depart
ments, have been taken out of politics.
The Dock Department is no longer a
machine annex The Park Depart
ment will soon be wholly free from
partisan influences.
Compared with the former situa-
tion the gain is immense. Reform
knows who are its friends. Better
still, it knows who are its enemies. II
knows their tactics and their devices,
their ''puts' and their bargains, their
bu ter and their cowardIce. Above
all it knows its own strength and the
popular support of which it can rely.
With such gains III the past, with such
strength in the present, the situation
is one of encouragement. 1t Is II sum
mons to every friend of good govern
ment to stand by his organization and
TO support the mayor. The attacks Of
ref Drm at Albany next year eau be
rendered Intellectual by electlng an
honest and independent legislature.
! This can he done If the people are in
earnest. All that is needed is TO con
| tinue the work that has been begun,
to strengthen the lines, to build up
| the organizations, to make municipal
reform permanent issue. That Is the
/ way TO make 1t "A permanent success.

A singular fact is recorded in the
Moniteur Industrial, namely, that on
the shore of Brittany, between St.
Malo and st. Lunaire, in the vicinity
of the ST. Enogat station, at place
called Port Blanc, the tides have late
" displaced a considerable amount of
sand, say to depth of some nine to
thirteen feet. Accompanying this re-
markable phenomenon is the fact that
forests known to have been buried
for periods covering some eighteen or
twenty centuries have been brought
to light, and a vast forest has, it ap-
pears. been discovered in process of
transformation into coal; ferns and
the trunks and barks of trees are to
be seen in an advanced state of decom-
position, being already beyond the
peat formation, showing, in fact, the
films and flakes which are found in
coal, and, while some of the trunks
are sixteen feet in length and still
very distinct, they are becoming rap
idly transformed.

Belisarius was the sixth century hero
of the western Empire. He made wal
on the Vandals in Africa, and brought
their King home to Constantinople to
grace the triumph of the Emperor
Justinian. His personal force had re-
stored dicipline where chaos had
reigned in the imperial army. JUS
tinian, however, was of cold, jealous
disposition mediaeval mugwump,
SO to speak, and always found some
pretext for refusing to reward Bellsarl-
us, who was Stalwart of the Stall
warts and wouldn't bend the knee to
living man. At last trumped-up
charge of conspiracy enabled the EN-
peror to imprison the veteran soldier,
the conQuerer of the Nandais and take
away his fortune. Things went on
we'll for year or two, until the
lawless element began to make
inroads that the successors OF
Belisarius was incompetent to check
The Mugwump Emperor was brought
to his knees. He hated Belisarius less
than he feared the invading rutfians.
He took the tried and true commander
into his confidence again, the outlaws
were conquered and Belisarius was
entirely vindicated.
New York has found conqueror
of the Vandals in Thomas Byrnes.
He has made the metropolis the
safest town in the world for life and
property. Can it be possible that he

the same. 1t is easy for n child to
smash the machinery of watch. 1t

is being filed with it. Impurity In the

HERCULES AND TIE HAWK.

Some passengers over one of the
Berlin canal bridges the other day
noticed the sudden appearance of
two black points in the sky at con-
siderable distance away, which de-
veloped into two ducks. Behind
them at a lower level flew another
bird which suddenly rose into the air
above the ducks, and then shot down
upon them like an arrow. One of the
ducks flew sideways towards the
Thiergarten; the other, closely pur-
sued by its enemy flew slanting into
the canal, and, reaching the water
exactly behind the bridge, dived,
while the hawk in its blind haste
struck against the head of statue of
Hercules, and fell once more, Tapping
its great wings, dead on the pave
ment of the bridge. The bird was a
splendid specimen, the wings having
an expansion of more than three feet.
