FIGHTS THE scHEFTER LAW.
Patrick Hussey Doesn't Want 1t Ap-
piled to Him.

Patrick Hussey. through his attorney
made an onslaught on the Scheffer law
in the police court yesterday, in an
effort to avoid the penalty for third
offense on the charge of drunkenness.
Hussey was tried Saturday and found
guilty, but a stay was granted to per-
nit the testing of the law. 1t was
argued that the first two offenses
charged were not specifically set forth
in the complaint, and that even if this
were the case, they must be proven as
we'll as the third offense. 1t was claim
ed that this had not been done by the
prosecution, and that Hussey should
be released. Judge Twohy took the
matter under consideration until today,
but intimated that the proceedings had
been such as to warrant the charge of
guilty against Hussey, and that it was
the courts duty under the law to in
fiict the siXty-day penalty, prescribed
by the Scheffer enactment for the third

LITTLE MORE NEP0TIsM.
State Labor Bureau Sort of Fam
lily Affair.

Some recent statistics Of the state
labor bureau, which will probably not
be published in Labor Commissioner
Powers report, are contained in recent
expense bills filed with the state audi
tor The labor bureau, it may be said,
does not file a regular monthly pay
roll, as do other departments Of the
state but sends in salary and expense
bills covering irregular periods all the
way from two weeks to two months or
more. Within few days there have
been filed with the state auditor a
number of slips, showing that w. J.
Eggleston, one of the deputy commits
sicners, drew $35.S6 for bus bills, rail-
road fare and such, and $4166 for two
weeks salary. James Smith, formerly
a deputy labor commissioner also. gets
$114.50 for salary and expenses, and
Miss Irma L. Powers gets $135 for mine
weeks work in compiling statistics"
The family idea is being thus extended
at the capitol. not purely as an illus
tration of the triumph of neptoism, but
at the expense of the tax payers, as the
testimony in the investigation Of the
labor bureau last year showed that
even during the progress Of his compre-
hensive literary work on Farmer
Hayseed" and 1.-The Purchasing Power
of Gold" that it had not been neces-
sary for the labor commissioner to pay
stenographers who were not members
of his own family more than $50 a
month.

FOUGHT AGAINST ARREST.
Two Disturbers of n jackson Street
Lodging House.

Henry Thompson and Thomas McKenuy
tried to clean out a lodging house at 44
Jackson street shortly after o o'clock last
evening and succeeded in getting a good deal
of rough handling beside being arrested ON
the charge of drunkenness and disorderly con
duct. Before Sergent Ross and officer Jack
Hennessey wero called upon to quell the
disturbance at the lodging house the pro-
prietor did valiant battle with Thompson and
Mchenny with billiard cue. When tho
men were placed under arrest, McKenny. I'm
particular, desperately resisted and had to
be dragged down stairs to the patrol wagon.
At the station he refused TO allow the officers
to search him and another rough and tumble
struggle ensued. though no one was seriously
injured. The prisoners will explain their
conduct to Judge Twohy in the police court
today.

"a Pot of the Best chau.r

The earliest mention of tea BY an
Englishman is probably that contained
in q letter from Mr.. Wickham, an agent
Of the East India company, written from
Firando in Japan ON the 27th of June,
1915. to Mr.. Eaton, another officer of
the company, resident at Macao, asking
him to send "a pot of the best chaw."
In Mr.. Eaton's accounts of expenditures
occurs this item, Three silver porrin-
gers to drink chaw in"
1t was not until the middle of the
seventeenth century that the English
began to use tea. The first importations
were from Java, and the price ranged
from Sc to e10 per pound. In the Mer-
GURUS Politicus of September, 1858, ap.
pears the following advertisement:
''That excellent and by all physicians
approved China drink, called by the
Chineans tcha, by other nations tay, or
tea, is sold at the Sultaness Head, q
cophee house in Sweetings Rents. by
the Royal Exchange, London"
Pepys enters in his diary on the 25th
of September, 1860, 81 did send for o
cup Of tee, China drink, of which I
had never drunk before. This is a
proof of the novelty of the drink in
England at that date. In 1864 it is re-
corded that the East India company
presented the king with two pounds
and two ounces of "thea."
About this time, however, the con-
sumption of tea and coffee became fash
ionable, and the importations large in
proportion. -Lippincott's.
