vent signal code II may be interest
Ing to give the principles completes:
]. Code ought TO be comprehensive
and clear and not expensive.
2. 1t ought TO provide for not less
than 10000 distinct signals. and should
besides be capable of designating not
less than 10000 ships with power OF
extension II required.
3. II should express the nature Of
the signal made by the combination of
the signs employed. and the more i'm
portant signals should be expressed by
the more simple combinations.
4. A signal should not consist Of
more than four flags or symbols at one
hoist.
8. A signal should be made complete
In one hoist, In one place.
8. Signals should have the same
meaning wherever shown.
7. The signal book should be ar
ranged numerically and alphabetically.
5. The code should be so framed as
TO be capable OF adaptation for inter-
national communication.

good all-round system.
Our Private Signals
Every navy has its own signals. by
which It can talk without being under
stood by strangers. IL was this private
sci of signals which caused Capt. Sigs-
bee so much worriment after the Maine
wa blown up. Our own pet signal sys-
TEN is The wig-wag. which is the best
known Of all sea signals. IL is done
by wig-wagging a flag from right 10
left. from left 10 right, from front 10
back. and from back TO front. II Is
generally operated by the hand. but
when distant wig-wagging is done II Is
| operated by means OF very large me
chanieal arm. Our navy adopts the
Meyer code OF signaling. This is the
code used by private yachts and 10y

Much Noise, n Few Blondes and Many Race
track Touts In n Show at Coney.
The Colored Democratic Club Of Gravesend
had a parade at Coney Island last night that
was fearful to behold. There were colored
women. a few blonde soubrettes left over from
the summer season. about 100 race track
touts. fifty white men. and the usual number
OF Coney Island thugs in the ranks. They
wandered through the streets in a disorderly
manner. yelling for Croker and a wide open
town. There was not a single cheer heard for
Van Wyck.
Three discordant bands furnished the noises
for the demonstration. Some OF the paraders
tried to ride bicycles. and others were on
horses, After an hours. yelling. the mob
stormed into Stuhenbord's pavilion, where
there were efforts at speech making.
The disorder was SO great that the speeches
could not be heard more than three rows from
the front. The tspeakers were Patrick Gala
han. I. D Murray. John 7. Mcclure. G.. T.
and Francis T.. Gallagher.

Would Leventritt as Supreme Court Justice
Pass a Bill Like That?
David Leventritt was a member OF the COM
mission which had to do with the acquiring OF
the approaches for the Third avenue draw
bridge. The law fixed Mr.. Leventritt's wages
at So a day part of the time and SO a day the
rest of the time. The law SAYS that wages shall
be paid to such Commissioners only for each
day upon which the said Commissioner shall
meet and be actually and necessarily employed
in the employment of the duties imposed upon
them by this act"
This commission OF which Mr.. Leventritt was
q member actually met lat days while the
wages were SO a day and 134 days while the
wages were $40 a day. The man who attended
every meeting Of the commission was entitled
to S2.222. Mr.. Leventritt was absent from
eighteen meetings at SO and from twenty-six
meetings at SO. He was therefore entitled to
only 1854. When he presented his bill he
swore that he had attended $50 meetings at SO
. day and 395 meetings at $40 a day and
charged the city $7.430. which was SIS, 576 more
than he had earned. He has got the money
now.
But suppose he's elected Supreme Court JUS
tice. Suppose there should be a commission to
to widen a street somewhere and one OF the
Commissioners put In a bill for 1000 days at
$40 q day. although the commission had ex-
listed less time than that and had held only
twenty meetings. Could David Leyentritt, the
Justice. cut the bill and stop the swindle?
