DISMAL SWAN. BURNING.
No Effort Made to Check the Spread
of the Fire.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 1.-THE great
Dismal swamp, covering an area of
perhaps 400 square miles, is afire from
one end to the other, the result of ali
unprecedented drought and excessive
ly hot weather No one inhabits the
swamp but wild animals, therefore no
attempt was made to check the flames.
The smoke is so dense that the crew
and passengers on an incoming train
were nearly stifed. Forest fires are
also raging in adjoining counties, and
unless rain comes soon crops will be
burned up, the loss and suffering great
and perhaps may result in some loss
of life

 Greater New Haven, one and indivisi- ble! Into this happy hour let no sad or sordid thoughts intrude.

All will come right now, for the mayor has more power, and more room to exercise it in

ground, Suddenly he would stop as though he felt shock, and 1t was there he "located" a spring. He would then step backwards and forwards to ascer- tain the depth of the spring and the volume of water. In his report he de- scribed number of springs in one field and declared that the total of the water there was more than ample for the town. They objected to the expenditure of public money without some more reasonable assurance of the existence of the water, and argued that as the councillors had engaged Gataker, it was clearly their business to pay him out of their own pockets. This was the view finally adopted by the local government auditor, who decided that the councillors were trustees and could not spend public money in speculative experiments. He hinted further that MT. Gataker might have exposed him. self to charge of obtaining money un- der false pretences.

MORE MONEY,

Those who were bowling last year for "more money are still bowling. They were made that way. But since they howled last year there has been a great increase in the total amount of money in circulation among the people. On the first of June, 1896, the volume of currency outside the treasury's own
 buildings was $1,421, ,633,S95. On the first of June, 1897, according to the lat ual circulation was $1,659, 733 1895, an in- crease of $13S, o00OO in a single year.
 Where the circulation per capita was last June s21.35, it is now $22.SO. Silver dollars have decreased not quite $290,- 00000, gold certificates over $5,50O 900 and treasury notes over S11 400, 900. But gold coin has increased over $64, 300 OOO, silver certificates over S26, 100000, Unit ed States notes a little less than $23.- 100000. currency certificates over $33,- 100000 and national bank notes some thing less than $9,500,000.
 And yet those who have been and are bowling for more money are not yet satisfied. Probably they never will be, and yet there doesn't seem to be any real crying need for more money until that which is out can be used.

SOME JUSTICE.

During the last few years the rights of employers and employees have been considered in many courts in this coun- try, and many important and helpful decisions have been made. An inter- esting case has just been dealt with by the Appellate court in Illinois. Charles Jenkins, a freight conductor for many years on the Big Four" rail- road, was discharged, and accusations of larceny brought against him soon afterward fell through on trial of the case. There appears to be rule or agreement among the railroads in that part of the West that employees leav- ing one road must present clearance card" from that road, or certificate re- lating to their time of serving, capacity, etc, in order to gain employment on any other. Such a card had been de- nied Jenkins although he had repeat edly applied for it, and he had conse- quently been unable to get work any where else. He sued the company for $2,000, and was awarded $S75 by the Circuit court of Illinois, which judg ment is now affirmed by the Appellate court. This sum represents what Jen- kins would have earned from the time of his discharge until his acquittal of the charges of larceny.
 The Appellate court says that the master is under no legal obligations to give testimonial of character to his servants; but where any such agree ment between employers exists as ap peared in this case of the railroads they are acting unjustly in refusing a testimonial of character or satisfactory service where good cause cannot be produced for denying it. The court continues; It is not necessary to elab- crate on the helplessness of a man at the age of fifty years, who has for twenty-four years continuously been in certain line of work requiring skill and experience, being deprived of the right and opportunity of following that calling. It is almost like depriving him of the right to earn living by the pur- suit of an honorable calling, a right in- herent, of which he cannot be deprived by any rule, regulation or practice of employers of men.
 This is plainly just. Because an en- ployer may be dissatisfied with an em- ploye he has no right to try to shut him out of all work.

4 LACK OF FAITH,

That this is an age of reason rather than an age of faith is indicated by what has happened in Ampthill, Bed fordshire, England. The local govern ment board had directed that a water supply should be provided within cer-
 tain time, and the councillors, instead of consulting experts, hired one Leiees-
 ter Gataker, a diviner, to find the hid den springs. The latter pointed out a spot, and sent in his bill, but when this came up for audit committee of rate-payers protested. They produced geological plans and sections to show that, if the diviner's recommendations were acted on, the council would be boring into a stratum of Oxford clay, the depth of which had not been fath- omed as yet, although a boring had been made to seven hundred feet, and no water obtained. They said that his method was to start with his arms snread out and walk slowly over the

FASHION NOTES.
Women will Have ,Eln.

At this time of year organdies and muslins are shown to be a delusion and a snare, particularly the organ dies. It is even more extravagant than dotted muslin. for it won't wash at all, and the muslins will; besides, being in some dainty color it does not make the valuable addition to wardrobe that white always is. But there's a certain satisfaction about being extrav- agant enough to have an organdie
The daily morning journal and courier., 1897-06-16

dress. It does not take so very many
 yards, and there is. perhaps, the green silk dancing dress you meant to keep till next winter. It is really almost worn out, will just do for lining and you could trim with rows of baby rib bon which costs almost nothing and is so effective. You can trim the edge
 of the petticoat that way and thus
 make a really lovely green silk petit
 coat that will go with other things as well as with the organdie. Corn color with pink roses all smothered in pale
 green traceries, with a great black hat
 all over pink roses and dropping
 plume, a rose colored parasol, and pink stockings-there! that enough. Let's
 look at white serge or something else that's sensible.
 But just supposing, still, that the or-
 gandie is attainable, then here's stun ming model for it in the acompanying picture. It was an organdie whose white ground was strewn with faint pink flowers, trimmed with lace and
 ecru lace insertion as indicated. Be- | meath the lower band of insertion the ! skirt sprang out rufIle- wise, which gave
 a strikingly new finish to the rig. Col lar and belt were white satin, and the whole was finely set off by a black straw hat trimmed with white feathers | and wild roses
 | Dotten muslin is very beautiful, but l 1t never Is as pretty after it is washed, and wears its first freshness off very l soon. Then it is at it's best only when made over silk or at any rate when
 worn with the prettiest of dainty petti- coats. A nice foulard, china silk, mo- | hair or serge-ughi will be just as white and will last the whole season, but | though every woman of sense should
 realize this, many of them forget it and l go in for the muslin.

The sewage of the great city of Lon don is handled by two main pumping stations on each side of the Thames, with machinery of an aggregate of g.,
 0OO-horse power, capable of pumping some five hundred million gallons per day, and a like number of storm-water pumping stations, capable of pumping directly into the river 150,000.000 gallons per day--the latter being used for pre- venting flooding in the lower parts of the metropolis when a heavy fall of rain occurred at or about the time of high water, when the storm outlets were closed by the tidal water. The outfall works for the purification of the sewage, the dry-weather flow of this exceeding 2OOOOO,00O gallons per day, consists of settling tanks and their ac- cessories for the chemical treatment of the sewage, and the means for remov- ing the sludge produced to the German ocean.
