WHAT has become of Otis? Is he
still fighting the insurgents or is he
prolonging the war to make it a war
cry heard in the approaching Presi-

thinking-caps on, however, and very
little prestige is likely to attach to
such an unnecessary and miserably
conducted conflict as that waged
against the Filipinos.

AT a fire in Pittsburg, Pa, lately, it
was found that all the fire.hydrants
were frozen, and as the ground was
covered with several inches of snow, it
was gathered up in large piles and
carried on carts TO the scene of de-
struction and thrown upon the flames.
By this means the fire was checked
until the water pipes we're thawed out
by huge bonfires built over the n.y.
drants.

THE Fairhaven City Council have
resolved to license" disorderly houses"
That's right. Houses have no right
to be disorderly, and if they persist in
setting at defiance natures first law of
order, they should be restrained by the
strong arm of the law. But doesn't
license carry with it permission to be
moderately and decorously disorderly?

No, It is Not Spring.

Quite contrary to folklore SUPPOSE
ton, March is really more II winter
month than Il spring month. The ex-
act moment or point of time denoting
the coming OF spring falls between
the Goth and 2lst of March, accord
ing to our calendar now in vogue.
At this point the sun is vertical at
the equator, on his journey towards
the north; and thus it will be seen
that the portions OF the windy month
enjoyed by winter and spring, respect
lively, are to each other nearly in the
same proportion as two to one.
While in popular parlance the So
called spring months are March,
April and May, only the two last
wholly belong to the opening season
OF the year. Even as old winter is
said by the poets to Ginger in the
lap" of spring, so the latter season
with similar indifference fingers in
the lap OF summer. Both summer
and autumn, likewise, in their turn
reach over into the third quarter Of
the supposedly initial month of the
season next succeeding. 1t is long
tedious story to tell, but these silent
discrepancies have been going on for
countless @ons, and they were old
when mother Eve sat in her tent-door
darning Adams socks or patching
the seat of little Gains first trousers.
So long as the present month nomen-
clature exists, there will be a slow ret.
repression OF the four seasons. The
equinoxes and solstices will steadily
retreat year by year, until, after the
lapse of about 25,S00 years, the points
marking the beginning and ending OF
our seasons will have passed success.
sively through every day and hour in
the year. The primary cause of these
great changes really exists in what is
known among astronomers as the
Procession of the equinoxes."

A SPIRITUAL seance in Brooklyn
under the trance mediumship of Mrs.
Piper, who is engaging considerable
attention in the East under the inves-
legations OF Prof. Hyslop, was, the
other evening brought to disastrous
close by some unrighteous skeptic
asking the control" a Winnebago
chief, the tribal name for buffalo.
The spirit emitted the traditional
grunt, but it would not pass muster.
1t then essayed gibberish, but the u. s
persisted in his inquiry, and some OF
the party declare that the big Indian
announced an intention of tomyhawk-
ing the questioner when he caught
him outside the wigwam. The World,
in commenting on the incident, re-
marks that an occurrence like this
should not cast any doubt on the gen.
uineness of the revelations obtained
by Prof. Hyslop through Mrs. Piper.
1t merely proves that spirits are uncer-
tain and leaves the matter to be fur
Their investigated under more favorable
conditions.

Duclaw Costello, a French wrestler

o'clock, and Costello died two hours
later. The woman is in the city Jail,

witnesses to the fatal ARRAY. Before
Costello died he stated to the police
that the woman stabbed him while he
was asleep, but the woman claims
that before she stabbed him he slashed
her with razor. In proof of that as

She says that as soon as she saw that

From our Regular Corresponi dent.


The Republican leaders of the
House are still shaking from the
fright given them by their narrow os-
cape from humiliating defeat on the
Porto Rico tariff bill. The figura,ive
sack cloth and ashes of Ash Wednes-
day came very near to being real for
them on that day. They amended
the bill by reducing the tariff from %
to 10 per cent, which Representative
Berry aptly said merely changed the
crime from grand to petty larceny
and by limiting its operation to two
years, which was an acknowledgement
that the whole principle of the bill
was wrong one, and then they could
not get the votes needed to pass it
without resorting to every known
form of political bulldozing and cajol-
cry. Had the Republicans of the
House voted their real sentiments,
the bill would have been defeated by
more than two.thirds vote instead of
being passed by vote of 172 to 16l.
The Constitutional question involved
in this bill will not down. 1t will be
heard when the bill is taken up in the
Senate, and it will be heard all during
the coming Presidential campaign,
and like other great questions, will
never be settled until it is settled
right.
Senator Aldrich explained the gold
standard bill agreed upon by the Con-
ference Committee, to the Senate, but
he did not attempt the impossible
task of defending the measure, which
ought TO be officially entitled "a bill
to put money in the pockets of the
rich at the expense of the poor"

COURTsHIP Taxa novel plan has
been adopted in Vineland, N. J., for
augmenting fund to purchase a
church organ. The women Of one of
the churches hit upon plan OF levy
ing a ten-cent tax upon young men
who called upon the young women
connected with the church. It
worked admirably and soon $62.10
was secured for the laudable object.
One girl who paid in 80 cents in one
week, in answer to the question how
she entertained nine callers in seven
evenings, demurely remarked "They
don't all have to come in the evening,
do they?" A friendly rivalry sprang
up as to who might turn the largest
amount Of cash into the treasury, and
now the deacons are considering the
propriety OF adapting this admirable
source of revenue to promotion OF the
church extension fund.
