REDUCING THE POLICE RESERVE.
NO MORE TROUBLE EXPECTED IN CON
NECTION WITH THE STRIKE IN
THIS BOROUGH.

The shifting about of policemen at midnight on
Tuesday caused the impression that uneasness was
felt by the police regarding the situation In the
streetcar strike. At that time men were sent
10 the Lenox and Second ave termini from a
number of stations.
Chief Devery said yesterday morning that the
men were not sent from fear OF any trouble. but
merely TO relieve men who were detailed on various
SQUADS such the Broadway squad, the Grand
Central Station squad and so on. so that the de-
tailed men could return TO their regular duties.
Chief DeVery yesterday dismissed one-half OF tho
policemen held In reserve, leaving only one platoon
AZ the various stations This applied TO all the
police in New-York City. small number or
policemen will be kept at the car barns and other
points for a few days yet and the one platoon Will
also be kept in reserve for the same length or
time.

MESSENGER BOYS STRIKE FAILS.
MANY RETURN TO WORK AND THE PLACES
OF OTHERS EASILY FILLED.

OF OTHERS EASlL1 FILLED.
The strike of the messenger boys. like badly
charged rocket has about fzzled out, after a few
weak sputters. The strike lacked leadership from
the start Many OF the boys asserted that they
had no real grievances and the cohesiveness and
enthusiasm which have marked the newsooys et-
forts have been entirely lacking in the messengers
strike Another potent factor in putting an end
TO the strike is the fact that boys are not scarce
in this city. In fact. superficial observation
leads 10 the opinion that they are something of A
drug on the market Talk OF continuation OF
the strike was confined yesterday principally TO
boys who did take advantage OF the com
panies' offer 10 go to work, and whose places are
filed by others.
At No. 1913 Broadway NJ w Raynens said that
so far the Western Union company had expert
enced no difficulty whatever in the delivery OF Its
messages.
THE boys you see hanging about" said he. "are
boys who didn't come back when they had a
chance TO do so. We have lots Of them begging
TO get back. AS far as inconveniencing US is con-
cerned. the boys could not have chosen a more
propitious time for Us All the houses uptown
are closed and this is the dull season downtown.
There is very little business foot, and we
shall not suffer al ALL"
Business AT the Offices Of the Postal Telegraph

day H. F. Wilson. the general manager Of the

THE pleasure of hearing the lecture last week on
The True Shylock" was not ours; but we cannot
help wondering if the speaker told the real story Of
Shylock, whence Shakespeare derived the plot of his
play. Presenting he did not, here it is:
In the sixteenth century a celebrated wager was
laid in Rome between a Christian named Secchi and
Samson Ceneda. a Jew. The Christian bet a hun
drew scudis, but stipulated that the Jew should pay,
if he lost, with a pound of flesh. The Christian won

body. The Pope, Sixtus w., was appealed to, decided
against the Christian, and banished both.

DIR. EMIL HIRsH, of Chicago, it is learned, has
been approached with the inquiry if he would con-
slider the idea of leaving his synagogue, Temple Sinai,
for Temple Emanu- El, New York.
We have no intimate knowledge of the matter, but
from what we have heard, are inclined to think that
Rabbi Hirsh is q little too radical for the metropolis.
1t has long been a standing joke in Chicago, that
DR.. Hirsh's temple is one Of the few places in that city

THE JEWISH SOUTH takes issue with us regarding
the date when the nineteenth century ends, and the
twentieth century commences. We do not wish to
enter into discussion on this subject, which has fur
nished grounds for debate between wiser mel than
either the writer or editor Ezekiel. We would, how
ever, suggest that as Il year is never numbered until
accomplished, that 1900 years will have elapsed.
counting from the first day of the Christian era, until
the first minute of the year 1900; admit this fact,
for fact it is, and we believe our esteemed Richmond
friend will agree with Jewish Sentiment in the state
ment, that the twentieth century commences with
the advent of the next new year.JeWish Sentiment.
If the writer of the above will closely scan what
he has written, he will see for himself wherein his
error lies.
In counting a PERSONS age, it is true, the years are
not numbered until they have passed, as, for instance,
a child twelve years old is in it's thirteenth year But
exactly the reverse is true Of counting time, and the
years are numbered the minute they begin. To prove
this, the first day Of the first century (supposing the
present calendar to have been in vogue,) would have
been January l. mot January 10.
AS Sentiment truly remarks, wiser men than we
have considered this question. But it neglects to
add that they are all Of our way of thinking. In
deed, the question is answered as we have it in any
standard arithmetic.
