REFORMING THE CALENDAR.
1t is Proposed to Begin the Next Century
With Now Division OF Time.


With Now Division OF Time.
Scientific American.
1t is suggested that on January l,
1900, a new division of the years into
13 months be instituted. 1t is claimed
that this is not so preposterous as most
people would be likely to consider it al
the first thought. If such a division
were made, the first II months would
have Just % days of four weeks each
and the new month %, to make 365, and
80 in leap year. After a few days there
would be no need to refer TO calendars,
as the same day of the week would
have the same date through the year.
If January l were, say, Monday. every
Monday would be the LIST, Sth, 18th and
22d; every Tuesday the I'd, 9Th, 18th
and Odd, and so on through the year,
and changes of the moon would be on
about the same dates through the year,
and many calculations like interest,
dates of maturing notes, Easter Sun
day and many other important dates
would be simplified. Although the
present generation would have to fig
ure new dates for birthdays, and all
legal holidays except New Years would
be on different dates, yet the gain
would be more than the loss. as that
would be permanent and the objections
trifling.
The proposed change certainly has
the merit of novelty, and it is just to
say that the arguments in favor of the
metric system on the ground Of utility
apply with considerable force in the
present case. We fear, however, that
the objections on the ground of senti-
ment which are strong in the matter
of weights and measures, would be
even stronger against the proposed re-
vision of our method OF computing
time

one of them is that he can persuade Spain

Both of these opinions are erroneous
Both of them have been put 10 the test and

The most surprising feature Of the Nc

hear any loud or constant demand for

MINERS TO DEFY THE LAW
CRISIS IN THE RIG STRIKE AND
 BLOODSHED FEARED.

Sheriff Issues Proclamation Calling on
 the Marching Miners to Disband and Go
 to Their Homes-Men Meet and Decide
 to Pay No Heed to It-Excitement as to
 tho Outcome Runs High.
 Pittsburg, July 30.-Legal proceedings are to be taken against the marching miners unless they disband and go to their homes. This was decided on this afternoon and Sheriff Harvey A. Low ry will be expected to see to 1t that the assemblages are disbanded. While the marches on the mines of the New York and Cleveland Coal Gas company have not been as effective as the miners of ficlals could wish it Is evident that the marches are making an impression on the employees of the company. To-day there was posted in the vicinity of the Turtle Creek, Sandy Creek, and Plum Creek mines a proclamation issued by the sheriff commanding that all per sons shall refrain from assembling or
 
 or thoroughfares of Alleghany county.
 At midnight it looks as though the
 sheriff's proclamation would be the big
 gest factor In bringing about trouble in the vicinity of the De Armitt mines. Tonight a meeting of strikers was held
 at Oak Hill and it was decided to pay
 no attention to the sheriff's proclan1a- ton, as it was considered to be an out rage. At the meeting 1t Is reported that President Dolan, M. P. Carrick and others leaders told the men that the sheriff's proclamation was unjust and could not be enforced. Another meet ing will be held at a. m.
 Excitement is running high and if the night passes without a conflict be- tween the strikers and deputies it will
 be considered almost a miracle. Pittsburg, Pa., July 30.-Secretary Warner claimed this afternoon that all of De Armltts miners would be idle to-
 morrow. Not pound of coal was
 mined at Sandy Creek to-day, he said, and not more than fifty men were working at Turtle Creek. This after noon he ordered tents for the strikers encamped near De Armitt's mines. The strikers, he said, would not leave until the men quit work, if they camped there for month.
 call for meeting of the United Labor league on Sunday evening to arrange for mass meeting on August 5 was issued to-day. Debs has prom ised to return and speak on the occa- sion.
 President De Armitt denied Warner s statement that the men were out at
 Turtle and Sandy Greeks to-day. He
 claimed that all of the miners were at work

However, your resignation has evil dently been we'll considered and is so worded as to leave me no other alter native than to accept. It Is therefore accepted"

SIGNING OF THE PEACE TREATY. Only Awaits Reply of Greece Fixing Dates
 for Payment of Indemnity.

TOT fayG06ut ot luu6IuulGys
 Paris, July 30.-A dispatch to the Temps from Constantinople says that the signing of the preliminaries of peace awaits only the reply of the Greek government fixing the dates for the payment of indemnity.
 Besides providing for rectification of the frontier in accordance with the plans of the European military attaches and for an indemnity of four million pounds, the treaty directs that mix ed commission of delegates of the pow CTS and of Turkey shall fix the compen- sation due Ottoman subjects for losses through the war.
 The question cf the capitulations is left to be settled by Greece and Turkey before the conclusion of definite peace. Evacuation of Thessaly Is made conditional upon the full discharge of the indemnity.
 As soon as the treaty is signed, says the Temps correspondent, the European military attaches and members of the Ottoman staff in Thessaly will meet there to deliminate the frontier.

Treatment of a Young German Who Had
 Filed Naturalization Papers Here.
 Berlin, July 30.-Ambassador White Is just now giving close attention to g. matter which promises to involve some diplomatic complications.
 It Is the case of Alfred Wessling, son of a naturalized American citizen, Charles Wessling of New York. Young Wessling while visiting in Germany last spring was draftedl into the Ger man army. He protested and proved he had made formal declaration of his intention to become citizen of the United States, although his naturaliza- tion had not been perfected.
 His protest was absolutely Ignored; {; and he was enrolled in the Seventy fourth regiment, stationed in Hanover. Recently for the petty offence of chaf- fing, he was struck a violent blow by his sergeant.
 Enraged at the injustice, young Wessling felled his tormentor to the ground and fled. Late at night he reached the United States consulte in the city of Hanover, completely Tagged out and half starved. United States Consul Crane persuaded him to surren- der to the authorities and he Is now awaiting trial on charges of assaulting his superior
 This offence is punishable in war times by summary execution after court martial, and in time of peace by several years Imprisonment. Ambassa- dor White is endeavoriug to secure his release.

Has He Joined the Fever Stricken Horde
 for Klondike?
 Sam Harrison of 13 Palmer street, aged tWenty-one, has suddenly disap- peared from his home, and his family cannot account for his absence except on the supposition that his lust for gold has caused him to join in the rush for the Klondike region. No fears of foul play have alarmed his family, although 1t is known that he had quite a sum of money about him when he disap- peared. He was employed by Henry Salzman, liquor dealer at 59 Congress avenue, as bartender and general utility man. Last Monday night he received his months pay and made an appoint ment with Salzman to do some early work the next morning He was to be at 5 o'clock, but failed to show up. This caused Salzman to fear that all was not well and he called at the young mans home. The father of Sam said that the boy had taken a sudden de- parture for Alaska after reading the startling stories published about the gold there awaiting diggers.
 Mir. Salzman was seen last night and said that chum of Sam's had told him that Sam had gone to Boston in the hope of getting on some steamer bound for the Flondike region, but had not told his family of his intention, fearing that they would deter him.

RAvAGED BY THE FLOODS.
Ex-City Sheriff Coleman's~ Celery Farm
 Overfiowed-Damage S3,OOO.

EX-C1ty Sherin COleman's~ Celery Farm
 Overf1owed-Damaged S3,0OO.
 Ex-City Sheriff Coleman is having an unfortunate time this year with his celery plantation out just beyond Lake Saltonstall. The trouble is all on &C., count of the heavy rain storms. The first one did considerable damage, and the successive ones finished it, doing ruinous work to the celery plants. MT. Coleman had about $3,OOO worth of f1ourishing celery, which he had made arrangements to sell in due season to New York parties. After the last heavy downpours some portions of the planta- tion were small lakes in which the owner padded around on an improvised raft When the floods subsided they left only wilted plants.
 Mir. Coleman has been very enterpris- ing retaining much peat and bog land, and has been quite successful until this year. His many friends hope he will resume the business in spite of this years reverses, and make his enterprise a. great success next year.
