ST OR ONE DAY.
A Punishment That No Man Need Fear In
Gotham's Police Courts.

If any respectable person should happen
to get into the hands of the police and be
fined by city magistrate, when he had
no money and didn't want to make known
his plight to friends, he might be benefit
ed by knowing that some threatened terms
of Imprisonment are not so awful as they
seem to be- This is due to the fact that the
day of commitment and the day of dis
charge always count in law as full days,
and that ii is the custom not to put per-
son to serving out u sentence until the end
of the day of commitment and to release
him on the morning of the day of dis
charge.
A curious instance of how this works
was witnessed the other day at the Charles
Street police station. A reporter had gone
there upon some news errand, and while
he talked to the sergeant at the desk he
noticed that the main room was nearly fill
ed with push carts
1--WE have had to make raid upon n
lot of poor fellows" explained the ser
geant.
just then policeman came in with two
vendors and reported at the desk.
"They were all fined 81 each or one
day." he said, referring to the batch of
push cart men that he had taken to court.
"Thesc two men paid their fines and have
come back with me to get their carts. i"
"All right" said the sergeant. "Get
some men from the back room and help
them out with the carts"
While the carts were got out the sergeant
glanced up at the clock.
Its after A." he said. "All the rest of
them will DO here in minute or two
You'd better stay and be ready TO help
them out with the rest of the carts.
"You see," continued the sergeant to
the reporter, "these two men who paid
their fines have saved only few minutes,
and if they had not been greenhorns they
would have kept their money. The Others
/ guess, have been there before. The Off
cial day in court ends at o'clock, when
the court adjourns, and all the prisoners
who have been fined 81 or committed for
one day are released. It's time for the 9TH
ers to be here now.
Sure enough, as he spoke they came
trooping in. They were smiling, and they
glanced with quizzical looks at the men
who had paid their fines and were going
down the street. New York sun.

Anmstlietics.

The use of an@sthetics in surgical opera
tons has made this new world. The re-
cent commcmoration of the employment
of ether to deaden pain inevitable to sur
gerry emphasized this fact anew. But what
heroism, now seen TO be unnecessary, was
displayed when patients had to face the
terrors of opcrationsl Almost two CEN
turtles and a half ago an Englshman, visit
ing Paris, saw an operation involving a
risk to life performed on child only or
o years old. She underwent the operation
with most extraordinary patience" and OK
pressed great joy" when she saw it was
over. We can well understand the joy, but
the patience seems almost incredible to a
generation which escapes so much pain
through the unreasonable mercy of dis
coveries that Danish suffering. -Youth's

How Money Grows.

How money accumulates in generation
Is shown by the increase of the fund of
$3.50, 900 left in 1877 by Allen G. Lewis of
Chicago to found free technical college
in that city. His will provided that the
money should be invested until it reached
an amount that would insure good build
ing and the support of the college. BY
November, 1896, the endowment had been
swelled to $1,000, 900, and in September.
1896, the institute was opened.

BALLOT LAW CHANGES.
Several Important Amendments Made by
the Legislature.

the LeElHlNtufe.
The amendments to the Baker ballot law,
made at the last session Of the Legislature,
change sections 3, 3, @, 8, and IA and arc In
substance as follows:
/. That the filing of an affidavit with the
Prothonotary of the county by five citizens re-
presenting political organization that they
have adopted a certain name or appellation
gives the organization they represent the
exclusive right to the use Of the name upon
the official ballot.
p Prohibiting the duplication by nomiua-
tion papers Of the name or appellation Of any
party convention primary or caucus repre-
sentiug political party which at the last
election pollcd per cent. Of the total votes
cast
3. Requiring that certificates Of nomina-
tion and nomination papers for presidential
electors, members Of Congress and state
officers, including Judges, Senators and Rep
resentatives, shall be fled with the Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth forty-two and
thirty-fve days respectively before the cleo
tion, instead of thrty-ive and twentyeght
days, as now
A. In case objections are filed To certih-
Gates Of nomination and nomination papers
for presidential electors and state officers the
/
eide upon the objections at least 16 days be-
fore the election, instead of at the discretion
of the court as now.
b. Upon the official ballots the name Of
any candidate shall not appear more than
once by nomination papers.
The law in all other respects remains as at
present As amended, however, in the
matter Of preventing the stealing Of party
name by irresponsible or bogus organiza-
tons, if a bogus organization were to file its
affidavit with the prothonotary first the real
organization would be compelled to adopt a
new name to get on the ballot at ALL None
Of the changes will tend to reduce the size Of
the ballot. The present system of voting an
entire ticket by placing a cross mark in the
circle at the top Of the column is retained.
/ The amendment to section 8 renders it i'm
possible for two or moro organizations to
nominate or indorse the same candidate and
get his name printed in their respective party
