A Celebrated Case.

A Washington dispatch day or two
ago announced the settlement of the
old ella m of Donald Mckay against
the government. This case was al
most as celebrated as that of Billy Nc
Garrahan. When the war of the re-
belllon broke out the affairs of the
United States navy were IN anything
but a good condition. Private ship
builders were put at work converting
all kinds of craft into war vessels, and
some very strange appearing tubs re-
suited. Donald and Nathaniel Mex ~
were ship builders in Boston, and they
were among those who were employed
by the government to do work for the
new navy. They took several con-
tracts for ironclads and monitors, and
after the contracts had been awarded
them changes were ordered in the
vessels that called for the outlay of
something over 100000 more than
their contract price. They, of course,
expected TO get their pay and put in a
claim for the amount, but its payment
was delayed on one pretext or another
until the war had closed. Then other
delays came up, and payment was not
made because there was no authority
to make it. One administration sue
ceeded another and congress came and
disappeared year after year.
One of the brothers died, but the
survivor kept up the fight. The case
came before fourteen different con-
crosses and was twice allowed, but on
both occasions it was vetoed. Finally
congress sent the case to the court of
claims, which has just decided in the
claimants favor. For more than
thirty years the government has with
held the money from the persons to
whom 1t was due Republics are
proverbially ungrateful, and in deal
ing with Uncle sam you cannot be too
cautious i'll getting the foxey old gen.
tleman down in black and white.

In the twilight of legendary Greece we
find that familiar and beautiful myth OF
Phaeton, son of Phoebus Apollo, who
rashly undertook to drive the solar char
lot through the heavens. We all remem-
Der how the chariot approached SO near
the earth that the mountains began 10
blaze and rivers and fountains dried up,
and how Zeus. enraged, hurled his thun-
derbolt, thereby preciptating the chariot
eer into the river Eridanus.
There he was found by his sisters, the
Heliades, who, lamenting long and bit
terly, were at last changed by the gods
into ever-sighing poplars, and their tears,
which continued to flow, became translu-
cent amber as they dropped into the
stream.
The Greeks, even at this remote period,
thus revealed their knowledge of the ORR
gin of amber. The tears of The over
signing poplars, becoming amber as they
dropped into the stream. is but poetic
way of expressing the fact that amber is

comes fosslized by the action of the wa

He stated the object OF the bill as briefly

the bill passed.

FIlamrnt.
The great Edison Incandescent lamp
works are no longer turning out lamps
with bamboo filaments. This simple
fact covers a whole period without para l.
lei for interchangeable research and cease
less invention. When the art of making
incandescent lamps began 10 years ago,
all kinds of carbonizable substances were
diligently experimental WILDWOOD, pa
per, silk, hair, putty-and Edison has
stated that he has made no fewer than
5000 separate tests of such materials be-
fore he settled finally on bamboo as the
best for reduction to carbon and for SUBJ
sequent durability.
But there are many different varieties
of bamboo, and L iison ransacked the
earth in the quest for the kinds having
the toughest, straiGhtest fibers. His ennis
saries visited all the tropical quarters of
the globe, penetrating the regions of the
Amazon, in India and Japan, never be-
fore reached by an Ameri can. The result
of their adventurous discoveries was the
selection of a species of Japanese bam-
boo, which has been used until very re-
Gently.
Now never processes have come to the
front, and bamboo gives way to paper as
the basis of the delicate black filament
that glows golden when the current passes
through. We are said to be on the eve OF
cheaper lamps, due not alone to inn
proved manufacture, but to foreign COM
petition. The expected arrival of 5000
German lamps in New York was noted
the other day, although in England lamp
dealers, after using them. have begun to
advertise their lamps as mot of German
make. "-NetO York Commercial Advertiser.

A Successful Strike.

Under the caption of "The Lesson
of a Successful Strike" the Philadel-
phIa Times observes that the miners
strike in the Plttsburg bituminous
coal district his proved an exception
to most miners strikes in that Sec
ton in twoimportant particulars. The
miners, or large proportion of them,
have secured the fourteen cent adj
vance for which they struck, and no
one has been killed, hurt or even
frightened. "The troops have not
been called out, the business of a
large section of the state has not been
tied up, peace-loving people have not
been terrorized, and the common
wealth will have no big bill to foot
after the strike is over" The Times
attributes the success of the miners
first TO just cause, second to the
ordering of the strike at an OPP
perfume time, and third to the adop-
tion of none but peaceable methods.
I'm view of this success" says the
Times, "where reason was allowed to
sway in everything, from the advance
demanded to the behavior of the
strikers, it might not be amiss to sug-
gest that if more brains and less force
were injected into the management
of all efforts TO secure better wages
the ratio of successes to failures would
be very much hightr than at present.
The lesson of the successful miners
strike of March, 1895, would seem to
be that of the advantage of making
just demands at the opportune time
in an orderly and law-abiding spirit"

been favorably impressed with the
Hawaiian Islands. lie looks upon
the question of annexation from a

point of view and no other should the
