As to the power of Justice fitzgerald
to compel the members of the Municipal
Assembly of New York 10 vote for an
issue Of bonds 10 build the Hall OF Re
cords. whether they wish to do so or not,
Retired-Judge Roger a. Pryor has this
10 say:
l had not supposed that II Is compe-
tent for a court by mandamus TO control
the discretion of a legislative body.
If the court had no jurisdiction TO grant
the mandamus disobedience toJit Is no
contempt.
The motion for the mandamus not being
opposed Judge Fitzgerald granted it as a
matter of course.
IL is said the act ordered To be perform
ed was ministerial, but the exercise OF a
ministerial act by a legislative body Is
rather an incongruity.
But even IL MINISTERIAL mandamus Will
not go 10 compel a particular act II
there was any discretion required as 10
the exercise of II.

The Philadelphia July grand-jury made
a special presentment on the subject Of
adulteration of food, in which it said:
THE adulteration of food is a matter OF
such vital Importance to every member
of the community that the strongest
measures should be taken 90 prevent and
punish the crime. We are impressed with
a belief that. while close investigation
should be made among the retail dealers,
the wholesaler and manufacturer should
not be allowed TO escape In the close ex-
animation made" 1t is understood that
this deliverance is to be followed by Wig
orous practical measures, and that chief
among the articles investigated Will be
milk. The Pennsylvania law prohibits the
use of boracic acid, boracic salt, salicy-
late of soda, or salicylic acid, as a pre-
servative in any article of food, and this
provision Of the adultcration act Is re-
lied upon in many instances 20 secure
convictions OF dairymen, these preserva-
tives being frequently employed by milk
dealers. IT would appear that Phila-
dclphia has been having an experience
similar TO that of Nashville in the mat
ter of slaughter Of the innocents'' by
reason OF the vending of doctored milk.

TEMPERATURE or THE OCEAN.

According to those who regard them
selves as experts" In such matters, the
Atlantic ocean has been abnormally cola
for this period OF the year. and in the
North the surf-bathing establishments
have done very little business. \ New
York correspondent who has been looking
into this matter asserts that thousands
have been driven out Of the water with
benumbed limbs and chatiering teeth. The
explanation Is said to be very simple, and
the Labrador current is blamed for this
uncomfortable state OF affairs. This cur
rent has It's source among the islands OF
the Arctic ocean. IL sweeps slowly down
the Labrador coast. touches Newfound-
land and the United states, and is then
gradually robbed OF It's frigidity when II
mingles with the Gulf stream. But this
year. according to the experts" the
prevailing heavy winds have blown the
warm water Of the Gulf stream away.
Coney Island, Highlands, Seobright, Long
Branch, Ocean Grove, Asbury Park, cape
May. and Atlantic City are said TO have
suffered from the change. In some places
the temperature Of the water, whitc Is
usually 20 degrees in the summer, has
dropped to So and 30 degrees. and one
minimum Of 81 degrees was reported
So far as we have heard, no change Is
noticeable off the Virginia coast, though
it may be that the Gulf stream has held
IFS own In our neighborhood. If this
state Of affairs continues. we may look
for a change In the fashions pertaining
10 bathing suits. Possibly the costumes
which nave heretofore shocked us may
reappear next season with fur trimmings.

a curious case Of alleged hypnotism and
fraud has come TO light in TENNESSEE and
If all the charges made are true, several
nfe-insurance companies Will save them
sclvC he loss OF $1,000 Some time ago
Thomas Chase was reported dead, and
claims for his Insurance, amounting 20
$4,000, were put in by his widow. There
were suspicious circumstances connected
with the mans demise. and as result Of
Investigation banks at Knoxville and
Johnson City. which were entrusted with
the money, have been enjoined from pay
ing II over 90 Mrs. Chase. II appears.
however, that she had already procured
$1,000 of the money before the issuance OF
the injunctions. The petition Of the attor-
neys alleges that Chase did not die. as he
was reported to have done, and that a
wax figure was buried az his remains. II
is also charged that the late lamented'
is still living. and that he probably work
ed i'm collision with a hypnoiist, who put
him into a trance. and then revived him IN
time TO substitute the wax efiigy in the
coffin. Subsequent developments Will, OF
course be watched with interest, and the
probabilities are that the matter Will be
thoroughly sifted. It's bad weather FOR
wax figures to hold their own though
things will be equally as disagreeable for
the spurious widow and her confederates
If the fraud IS proved.

lery duel lasted some hours. Then
there was Il brief lull in the enemy'S :
operations, of which the general imme-
diately took advantage. Our infantry
advanced across the plain towards the
river in two brigadeS. The guards. on
the right. were met by an awful hail
OF bullets from the enemy's sharp
shooters posted close to the river on
the opposite bank. Ours had no cover
whatever. and We're simply moved
down. 1t seemed impossible to live
through the terrible fire. but the brave
fellows did not retreat an inch. The
Boer fire was horribly accurate. and
they must have numbered NJ least TO-
600
