The report was adopted by an al :
most unanimous vote, only two mem
pers speaking in opposition to it. The
delegates claimed in submitting their
report that they carried out their mis-
sion In an unbiased and non-partisan
manner, and they simply pictured the
low state of the working classes as it
was, without reference to political
questions. There were many ejacula-
tons Of establishment at the pitiable
pictures presented, and the motion
TO adopt the report called forth but
little debate.

forth on the many things he would do were

to the great establishment of the German,
who was very small man, took off his
coat, and, holding 1t out toward the stranger,
said: .sPut this on" But" replied the

Sailors Drowned.

LEWES, Del, Oct. ia severe northeast
erly gale is raging all along the Atlantic
coast tonight, accompanied by rain. About
forty vessels are anchored inside the Della
ware breakwater Some of them are dragging
dangerously near the bar, and there Is every
prospect that unless the storm abates, there
will be other disasters to shipping in addi-
Schiverie, Nova Scotia, for Philadelphia, with
a cargo of plaster, which struck near the
point of Cape Henlopen. The vessel pounded
to pieces the sands before the life-saving
men could get a line to her. Three of the

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE storm which
city would strike here by nightfall Sunday
arrived promptly on time. 1t was about
o'clock in the afternoon when 1t began to

lightly at first, but gradually working up to
a very high pitch, almost a mile minute,
the velocity 1t had attained by 1920, and the
effects were perceptible on all sides.

wrecked many homes of the so-called better
classes in America Aged couples manifest
much affection for each other. 1t is common
to see them walk the STREETS with hands
joined and acting with the simplicity of lit
tie children. Your committee was told that
the reason the natives do not go through
the marriage ceremony was that 1t cost too
much; STILL the civil fee for the poorer class
is but s1.75 for the judge and registration fee,
while for the better class 1t costs from $40 to
$20 The church fee is much higher. The
church does not recognize civil marriage
and the state does not recognize a church
marriage. On inquiring what was necessary
for peon to take unto himself wife and
go to housekeeping we were told "a picture
of hidalgo. a bunch of chilli peppers and an
almuda of maize ltwentyfour pounds of
corn. y AS a consequence these people live
together like cattle more than like human
beings, and it is but five years ago that

eleven days were dropped from the cal
endar, from the third to the thirteenth,
inclusive, so that what would have
been the fourteenth became the third.
With this change effected the re-
mainder of the calendar followed It's
usual course. By this change the day
which would have been December %
became January 5. 1t was from this
that the latter derived its name OF Old
Christmas Day
The further regulation of the calen-
dar occurred in emitting the year 800
from the number of leap years.
Therefore, in 1901. Old Christmas Day
fell on January 6, aud from that time
until this that is the day Of the month
called by that name.
In Riders "British Merlin'' for 1901
we find it stated that 1860 is not to be
leap year, while 1901 is to be the fifth
year after bissextile, or leap year, and
the first " az Of the TWEEN tieth century.
For this century the first leap year
was 1904, which is described as such
in the almanacs which were then cur
rent.
One old almanac for 1900, Moore's,
names the year as the four after bis
sextile, or leap year, and then states
that in spite Of is being the fourth
year from leap year 1896, the month
Of February had only lwenty-eight
days. Following this fashion 1902 is
called the sixth year after bis:extile,
and 1903 the seventh.
Curious as all this appears to us 1t
is precisely what we will soon DO.
Throughout seven years there will be
no February 29th after 1896 all of TIE
births and other events which occurred
on that unfortunate day Of the month
will have no opportunity to celebrate
their anniversary. That eccentric date,
February goth, will then have an op
portunitv for renown brought on by
its absence.
The calendar adjustment by which
these matters were arranged reaches
forward to distance that is startling
to one whose term Of life Is the seven
ty years of man. 1t declared that the
wears 1900, 1900, 1000, 21O0, or any
other hundredth year in time to come
shall consist of 365 days and no more.
But the fact also remains that this ad
iustment of the calendar was not quite
accurate. The one day omitted once
in the century made the average year
Il little too short.
TO remedy this defect the adJusters
made the following exception to the
rule making the hundreth years of 365
days, except every fourth hundredth
year, beginning with the year 1000,
24OO, $500, 5000, Will have February

concern to us.-New York Herald.

GRIEVING Is VAIN.

BY MICHAEL sCANLoN.
Since greving is vain,
And signing is PAIN
And life is whatever we make it,
When Fortune fills up
The full mean of each cup
Let US pledge her with smiles take it.
For little she gives
To the spirit that grieves
And chides her, while quaff1ng her measure
But let the last sup
Be consumed from the cup
And she'll fill, and refill, unto Pleasure!
Was Friendship ma ne:
Was Loves rosy flame
Soon quench'd by the breath of disaster
The knight-errant knaves
Now bask, like true slaves.
In the smiles of some opulent master!
Then why should we break
Our brave hearts for their sake
They are dead, pile forgetfulness DER them.
Thus perish the twain!
We'd not have them again,
Could weakness or folly restore them.
Then, Sorrow, 60 pack
And never come back,
And Grief. and your brood trundel after;
Come, pull down your plumes;
We've rented your rooms.
To Music, and Sunshine, and Laughter.
Humor and Song
Will fill the day long,
And steal half the burden from labor
Evening will come,
From her star-lighted home,
To greet us with dance and with tabor!
