.r-,.it the costs and fines OF state eases
a-~ segregated from those Of city eases
ara sl,> fines and costs collected are paid
into she county treasury do not propose
"a apnrove cost bills from the municipal
court
The foregoing statement was made yes
tar,5ay afternoon By Prosecuting Attorney
lanes r. NcElroy. in reply TO a question
III IL was true that he had decided to throw
out cost bills of state cases that were
heard in the municipal court
.Tha nractice has heretofore been. IS
continued Mr. McEiroy. .in state cases
10 impose a fine and costs upon the de-
PENDANT. when found guilty, and to cover
the same into the city treasury. II paid
II not. to commit the defendant to the
county TAIL and issue witness certificates
TO the witnesses against the county. upon
which a warrant would issue on the gem
eral fund. the city getting the witness
fees paid as a part Of the costs against
the defendant and at the same time the
county paid the witnesses
I'm case the defendant served part of
his time and paid the costs and remainder
Of the fine. he would get his discharge by
paying the same into the clerk of the ulu~
nicipaI court and the city would get the
money. In the meantime the county would
have 10 bear the expenses of feeding the
defendant in addition to paying witness
fees"
Ii can easily be seen from this condition
OF affairs that the police will eventually
bring all the state cases In the Justice
courts, leaving nothing but such offenses
as deal with city ordinances to be tried
in the municipal court. Irrespective of
whether the prosecuting attorney has a
legal right 10 disaiiow cost bills in state
cases tried in the municipal court, IL will
be a difficult matter from now on 10 get
witnesses before the municipal court in
state cases. because they will realize that
they stand little chance Of being paid for
their services. Scrip purchasers are usu-
ally alive TO what is going on and they
will not run the risk of purchasing witness
fee certificates In state cases issued from
the municipal court

THE NEW SUPPLY.
Board of Public Works Returns
From n Trip of Inspection to
Swan Lake

The board of public works returned yes
terday from a trip OF inspection TO Swan
lake. on the nne Of the Cedar river
water system where TWO gangs Of survey
ors are at work gathering data for the
plans and specifications of the system
City Engineer Thomson about month
and half ago recommended in a meeting
of the committee of the whole of the city
council that changes be made I'm the route
as surveyed by Benezstte Williams. The
entire matter ives published in the POST
Intelligencer at that time. II was 10 give
the board a better idea OF the proposed
changes which would result from personal
observation that was responsible for the
trip OF the last two days.
The board left here Tuesday morning al
$50 O'clock At Swan lake they found one
party surveying the property OF private
individuals 10 secure data for use in con-
demnafion proceedings while another had
started on the survey between Swan lake
and Kent. The plan OF the system from
Cedar river 70 Swan lake is now about
completed City Engineer Thomson has
long contanded that the raising Of Swan
lake fifteen feet, as recommended by VIII
Hams. would be needless expense for
many years 10 come. and In this the other
members Of the board agree. To raise the
lake fifteen feet would mean the fnunda-
ton Of hundreds Of acres now dry. This
land would have 70 be cleared entaliing
an expense or about $50 or SIS an acre.
Untn the population Of the city has largely
increased. the city engineer believes the
present elevation OF Swan lake would az
ford a fan sufficient for all demands.
Many other savings viii be made by
shortening the Iine. IN one place VIII
Hams. route runs over a marsh which
would have 10 ~ piled 10 a depth OF
twelve feet. 20 afford a support for The AZ
inch sron pine. by changing the line and

another distinct saving 10 the city.

A BRILLIANT SPECTACLE.
An ignorance That Was Not Alto
 gether BIissful.


 gether Biissful.
 Some weeks ago story was circu- lated in Harrisburg that there would be visible in the western sky soon after sunset a brilliant light, which was nothing less wonderful. the rumor told. ,haa huge electric spark which some scientisIs were sending up night ly over Pittsburg.
 The story spread rapidly, and when evening came the streets were filled with credulous people who gszed with amazrment at the brilliant orb, which true to report. shown out bright and clear. The newspapers of Harrisburg commented on the occurrence the fol- lowing day and told the people that the story of the electric light was fake. and that tho ball of fire was sim ply the planet Venus. which had been shining there at corresponding sessons for ages and would doubtless continue to illuminate that part of the heavens until the world should be no more.
 The Harrisburg people perceived that they had been dup-d and were ashamed at their display of ignorance. But week later the same story was spread ID the town of West Chester, and the usually intelligent people If that borough went through the same performances of sdmiring the elec'ri light. The newspapers again assumed the roll of instructors in astronomy. and Venus was for the second time given proper credit for the evening Illumination. But ignorance will not down, and the other day the good people of Lancaster, having keard the story, went out after sunset and be- held with amazement the glowing orb that had already brought so much fame to the scientists of Pittsburg. There are some doubting Thomases, however, among the Lancastrians. and the story was nol accepted universally. A pilgrimage was made to the obscr- vatory on the grounds of Franklin and Marshall college. and there q glance through the telescope dissipated at once All belief in the story that, singu- larly enough, had found Judgement in the minds of the people in three dis tinct localities.
 Where the display of ignorance may break out next is problematical. Per baps the deusion is at an end. But | all this should point the lesson that the facts of the world in which we live are not taught plainly and intelligent ly enough in the schools, and the ha- bit of observation is scarcely taught at all. If children in the schools were given some rudimentary instruction in astronomy, or at least had their at tention drawn to the wonders of the heavens, there would be no such dis plays of ignorance as have broken out in this state, and the people wonld have a far better chance to enjoy the world, because they appreciate some of it's many beauties.

Of labor ii the United Kingdom. The
report shows that in 1896 the net re-
suit Of all changes recorded was rise
OF wages amounting in the aggregate
to nearly E27, 900 week. The net eff
feet of all changes reported was an in
crease of E26,592 in week wages, as
against falls of over G28,000 in 1895,
and of over E45,00O in 1894. The in
crease in 1896 is equivalent to an aver
age advance of 10kd per week in the
wages of 607,654 workpeople affected.
The change is the hours of labor last
year resulted in reduction of hours
amounting in the aggregate to 1858
per week.
In New Zealand an eight-hour day,
or, to be more exact, 48 hour week, is
compulsory for all women working in
mills and workshops, and all children
under Is. They are not allowed to
work overtime for more than 20 days
year, and then they are limited to
three hours extra day, and the writ
tenn permission of an inspector must
be obtained. In the case of adult men
the government does not interfere
with their hours Of labor, save in ex-
ceptional cases, but the eight-hour day
is general, though not universal,
throughout the colony. In Wellington
the average wage of adults in engineer
ing works is 92 los. Sd. week; moul-
ders average 92 13s. 3d.; patternmak-
ers, 6 8 Is, and adults in electrical en-
cheering works 81 IS. i'd.
