But the pontifts had not Erasped the
Julian intent clearly. ana put In the
extra day every third year Instead OF
every fourth. When this blunder was
detected Augustus directed that all the
years from the thlrty-seventh to the
forty-elghth Of the era, inclusive,
should be common years, thus rectlfy-
Ing the error.
The Julian method supposes the year
too long by II minutes and Il seconds
in consequence OF which the equinox
In a few centuries retrograded toward
the beginning Of the year. When the
Council Of Nice was held, in S25, the
equinox had dropped back from the
25th 10 the 2lst OF March. and in 1889
1t had reached the 18th Of the same
month.
An arrangement was then made
which is the reason for 1900 not being
leap year. Pope Gregory XIII. ordered
ten days to be suppressed in the calen-
dar at that time, and us It had been
learned that the Julian INTERPOLATION
made an error Of three days in every
four hundred years, the intercalations
were ordered to be omitted in all CEN
tenary years which were not Invisible
by four hundred. so that 1900 became
leap year, but 1900, 1900 and 1900 We're
common years. Two thousand again
will be leap year.
Pope Gregory's brief abolIshing the
ancient calendar and substituting the
one now in general use. called the Greg
orian Calendar or new style, was issued
in March. 1852. The system was due to
AlOysIu9 illus. u learned Neapolitan
astronomer. aud Clavius, who COM
pletely developed 1t.
To restore the beginning Of the year
to the place in the seasons that 1t had
had before Gregory appointed the day
following the feast OF st. Francis. the
9Th OF October. TO be reckoned the 18th.
In this way the vernai equinox was
made TO fall upon the 2ist OF March, in
stead OF the 18th.
The Gregorihn Calendar went into ef.
feet in Portugal. Spain. and a part OF
Italy the same day as in Rome. France
adopted 1t the December following, and
the Catholic states OF Germany the
next year Protestant Germany stood
by the Julian calendar until 1900, when
the new calendar was ratified. Den
mark and Sweden fell into line about
the same time Great Britain opposed
the change until 1851, when parliament
passed an act by which the day follow
ing September 2 was TO be called Sep
TENDER Il. and the Gregorian system
of INTERPOLATION was adopted. The be-
ginning OF the legal year was changed
from April OF to January !. AS Scot
land had used the new style since 1900,
this had to be taken into account in all
deeds executed in that country be-
tween 1000 and l7jl. the time Of Eng

WISE COUNSEL
In Regard to Confirming the Treaty
That BIDS of Responsibility in
Samoa.

In Regard to Conhrm1ng the treaty
That Rids of Responsibility in
Samoa.
Washington Post dnd): Just one
word more about Samoa, We trust
that the latest news from there will not
be permitted to influence the action of
the senate with reference to the new
treaty. This news is to the effect that
the Germans at Apia, without waiting
for the action of our government. have
holsted their flag at the Samoan capI-
tai and officially announced the annex
alton OF the islands. excepting Tutuila,
by the German emperor. All this, Of
course, is dIscourteous to US. and i'm
pudent in general: but what else could
we have expected? We have been as
ISOLATED with Germany In this matter
for more than twenty years, and have
received In ali that time nothing more
or less than enmlty and rudeness- why
need we look for any improvement In
German manners Al this time? We re-
peat. let Congress take no note Of this
reported act of boorish efrrontery by
German officials at Apla. Let the sem
ate bear in mind the fact that the logi-
cal thing has occurred and dismiss It
with philosophy .and resignation.
What we want Is final riddance of
this irksome and distasteful association.
After the irritation to which we have
been subjected. and in view of the re-
lief 1t will be to US to escape. finally and
absolutely, from the whole detestable
complication, 1t were childish to permit
any new demonstration TO dlssuade us.
OF course, we know that the treaty is
not yet operative, and that the German
authorities at Apia have no more right
to take possession now than they had
year ago. Equally. of course, we I'M
derstand that, until the senate shall
have confirmed It, the treaty is, in the
eyes Of civilized people. non-existent
and void OF influence or power. But
the Germans do not see It in this light.
and perhaps we could hardly expect
them to. They seem to regard the mat
ter as settled, and II our dispatches
from ApIa, via New Zealand, be even
half true, they are proceeding upon that
assumption with truly German fervor,
The situation may be provoking, but
we hope 1t will be accepted without
protest II the new treaty is to be
adopted-as we devoutly hope 1t will be
we need no longer concern ourselves
with the somewhat hopeless problem
of German department. Our solicItude
will end with the final severance of all
existing relations between the United
states and Germany in the Samoan
matter, and the sooner that consum-
nation is reached the better for all con-
cerncd,
We renew our advocacy of the treaty.
We hope the senate will confirm it.

SMALL BOYS IN COURT
Justice Macs Discharges Prisoners
Arrested on Flimsy Charge.

Acting Police Justice Macs in the Sec
ono Criminal Court this morning adminis-
tered a deserved rebuke to one of that
class of people who are always ready to
rush into a police court with their com
plants and cause the arrest of persons
against whom they have imaginary
grievances without knowing or caring
particularly whether the accused persons
are guilty of the offense charged or not.
This morning among the prisoners ar
-aigned at the Oakland avenue court
were Patrick and Michael Hanley, aged
eleven and thirteen respectively. of No.
81 Orchard street, Thomas Taggert, aged
eleven, Of No. 80 Orchard street, and
John Baldwin, aged fourteen, of No. 20
Orchard street. The youthful quartette
were accused by Morris Lautmer, who
keeps a small store at No. 4G2 Bergen ave
nue., of stealing a sign from in front of
his place.
All Lautmer knew, when on the stand,
to connect the defendants with the Of
Tense charged was that the sign had been
stolen and some one had told him that
the little fellows had taken it.
Justice Macs then administered a Sc
we're rebuke to the complainant for bring
ing a charge on such fimsy grounds and
concluded by advising the parents of the
defendants to commence action against
Iautmer for false Imprisonment. He then
discharged all four.

Myron Furst, held a conference yesterday
afternoon at the office of Mr.. Furst, No.

street, so that a smooth pavement may
extend from the city's main t~horoughfare
to the City Hall and points beyond. The
committee will go before the Board Of

and. urge that their petition be granted
Immediately.
There was some discussion on the cost
of his Improvement. Thu plan the as
ISOLATION advocates will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, as it requires an eight
inch bed of concrete. This sum Of money
gave rise to the question of how the work
could be lone at a smaller cost. It was
shown that if Belgian blocks were used
the cost would be much less and it is
said that, while a majority favor the

and Water Commissioners will be asked
for, so that the matter nay be fully dis

The question of trolley car service also
had its inning and it was decided h
every effort should be made to nave the
cars of the Hudson City section run down
Newark avenue to the ferry and to have
Brunswick street, to and down Newark
avenue.
