VAN WICK SAID NAY, NAY.
Flag Over New York's City Hall Was
 Not Placed at Half Mast.

New York, Jan 23.-On one single fagStaH-and that on the City hall the flag was not half masted yeSter- day out of respect to the memory of a woman esteemed the world over. The board of aldermen and the municipal council were in session when the news of Queen Victorla's death was an- nounced. Mayor Van Wyck was on duty in his private office.
 But the Tammany lawmakers and the Tammany executive made no sign, though all around them were express Ions of grief and regret, and the flags on public and private buildings all over the city were at half mast.
 Martin Reese, the janitor of the City hall, raised the flag at : o'clock yesterday morning as usual. In the absence of orders to the contrary he did not touch the halyards again until the regular hour for hauling in the flag for the night. He was as much City hall that orders to lower the flag were not given.
 Mayor Van Wyck's attention was called to the flag several times in the afternoon. The lawyers who crossed the park from the court house noticed it and went into the mayors office to speak 10 him about it. They asked the mayor if he had not heard of the queens death. He said he had. and added, guessing their errand. that he didn't propose to lower the flag upon the death of Queen Victoria or any other foreign potentate. The lawyers in disgust left him.
 Donald A. Pond, the secretary and treasurer of the H. s. Horton con- pany hay and grain dealers, was walk, ing across the park with his lawyer When they saw the City hall flag fly ing at the peak they were indignant and they called on the mayor.
 'In view of the fact,' said Mir Pond, ''that the queen is dead. we wish to know why the flag on this building flies from the top and not at half mast-''
 "Gentlemen," the mayor is said to have replied snappishly, q have heard what you have to say. That flag re- mains where it is.''
 At the session of the aldermen yes terday afternoon a resolution con- cerning the death of the queen was prepared for introduction, but 1t was not offered. The explanation was made after the meeting that it was thought best not to introduce it be- cause of the possibility of one or more aldermen making fool speeches of a character which would reflect on the dignity of this city even more than did the Haunting of the flag at the top of the staff.

Bridge Street Resident Makes Com. plaint to the Police.
 William Mooney of Dublin street was before Judge Bradstreet in the city court to-day charged with intoxi. cation. Officer Brickel, who made the arrest, stated that Mooney was raising disturbance on East Main street be. cause he was turned out of every sa. loon he went into. He was fined $15 and costs.
 John Sweeney, a young fel low; William Murphy. apparently an old fellow; Mamie Valente and Liz zie Cunningham. were jointly charge with misconduct in Murphy's apart ments on Bridge street. The accused Were arrested by Officers Moore and Byrnes and Sergeant Blakeley, on the complaint of man who claimed to have been annoyed by their conduct. A bottle of whiskey figured in the af- fair. The arrests were made at 2:15 this morning. A fine of $7 and costs was imposed on each.
 Louis Bottom settled a drunk for $7.
 The city court was crowded yester- day afternoon when the last of the liquor cases for the time being was called and disposed of. This was the case against Bernard F. Kelley, a druggist, for selling liquor on Septem- Der 30 for consumption on the premises. Kelley said he had no legal representative and that the case should not have been brought at all. He made quite speech in that vein, after which Prosecuting Agent Pierce said that while this manner of trans acting business was irregular still he did not wish to interrupt MT Kelley. n~.1 1@A& HnA fA1 11 was forced to sell his interests in the drug store, which is situated near the West End bridge on September 3. He sold out to Irving 'Wolcott and the transfer of the license was made to Wolcott in Mir Pierce's office. Vol colt stated then that he would be re- sponsible for everything that took place in the store and with that agree ment the matter was understood set tied.
 MT Pierce said that while this was as stated by Mir Kelley, still the law held him responsible until the license name and it was while pending the transfer the law was violated.
 The court was of the opinion that WOlcott could be prosecuted but MT Pierce did not seem to think so. still, he held that the only thing that Vol colt, in all fairness and justice to Kelley could do, would be to pay what ever fine the court would impose. The county commissioners had given Vol colt permission to carry on the bGsi- ness, and to this the court replied that the county commissioners doSnot make the law and also that they can't give anyone permission to break the law. It appeared to be the courts opinion that WOlcOtt was the reSDOnSihle par ty. The matter was finally disposed of by adjourning it to the 30th The cases against Frank Sheehy, Ridge street; Thomas NJ. Ferris of Liberty street. J. F. Casey of Washington ave nue, k. A. Calendar of Cherry street, Garret P. Hennebry of West Main street and John Shannahan of Railroad Hill street were also adjourned to the 3Oth. Michael J. Igo of West Main street was fined S1O and costs for keeping open on Sunday. September 30 and George Hauser was fined the same amount for selling on that day All took an appeal.

MR.. B0K'S ADVICE
ON MARRIAGE.
His Answer to tho Question of a Young
Man About to Take Wife

Man About to Take u Wife.
A young man recently wrote to
the editor of The Ladies' Home
Journal: "What have you to say,
squarely and fairly, to a young
man of twenty-nine who is about
to marry?" In the October Jour.
nal Mr.. Box uses page for his
answer. Its salient points are
these: that the man should make
the woman Of his choice his chum,
as we'll as his wife; that he should
show her the highest considera-
tion as well as love her; that he
should remember that he owes his
wife to her mother, and treat his
mother 'in-law with respect, at
least; that he should keep his wife
informed as to his income; that he
should give her regular allow
ance and that he should have his
life insured in her favor. And
above all, that when a young man
marries he must remem ber that he
leaves a world Of self and enters
into q world of another and self.

A New-Fashioned Girl.

A New-Fashioned Girl.
She'd a great and varied knowl
edge, picked up at female col,
lege, of quadratics, hydros
tatics and pneumatics, very
vast;
She was stuffed with erudition as
you stuff a leather cushion, all
the ologies Of the colleges and
the knowledges Of the past.
She has studied the old lexicons OF
Peruvians and Mexicans, their
theology, anthropology and
geology DER and DER.
She knew the forms and features
of the prehistoric creatures;
ichthyosuarus, plesiosaurus,
megalosaurus, any many more.
She'd describe the ancient Tuscans
and the Rasques and the Etrus-
cans, their griddles and their
kettles, and the victuals that
they gnawed;
She'd discuss the learned charmer,
the theology of Brahma, and
the scandals Of the Vandals
and the sandals that they trod.
She knew all the mighty giants
and master minds of science;
all the learning that was turn
ing in the burning brain of
man;
But she couldn't prepare dinner
for gaunt and hungry sinner,
nor get up a decent supper for
her poor, voracious papa, for
she never was conducted on
the old domestic plan.

ANOTHER COMPLIMENT.

Hon. Il. NJ. Williams, store man
ager of the Arizona Copper Co.,
who was in the east at the time the
GUARDIANS Souvenir was publish
ed, writes about it as follows:
"Think it very nicely gotten up
and allow me to congratulate you,
Mr.. Birdno, for the taste you have
made manifest in your special edi-
ton of the GUARDIAN. 1t is a
credit to the Territory, and good
advertisement for our County and
Territory. | shall send the copies

THE GUARDIAN is indebted to
DIR. Bonney for the able article
which, appears elsewhere and
while his claims are rather startl-
ing we believe, from an examina-
ton of the collection, that he has
good ground for his conclusions,
as he is deeply versed in arch
zoology, an anatomist of more than
ordinary attainments and opposed
to anything that savors Of "sensa-
tionalism" in the press. We ap-
prove of his suggestion that the
collection be secured for the Terri
tory.

Ir you desire to have fun with u
learned acquaintance, ask him sim
pie questions about his country
its history, financial condition,
political divisions, geographical
lines, climatory, topography, etc.
Questions that any schoolboy can
answer, DR.. Knowall will stumble
clumsily over, often getting bad
fall. There is one question that
/ have never heard anyone answer
namely: "What are the notices
of the several states of the union
and their meaning?" A clever
man may name that ofhis own
state and guess at those of three
or four of the more important sis
ter states, but he is unlikely to
know the meanings of any that are
in the original Latin. Try some
able professor in a crowd and see
him founder. Ask the professor
if he knows that the great seal of
the United States was designed by
an Englishman, Sir John Prest-
wich, who also suggested the
motto, "E pluribus unum?" Our
ablest men had failed to propose
anything acceptabie--Franklin,
Jefferson, Adams, Lowell, Scott,
Houston and others wasting near
ly four years on the task. Frank
lin proposed Moses dividing the
Red Sea, with this motto: "Rebel-
lion to Tyrants is Obedience to
God" Adam proposed the choice
of Hercules, and Jefferson the
Children of Israel in the Wilder
ness. Doesn't it seem funnyi |
Some Of the suggested notices
were, "Bello vel Pace" Tin war or
peace); "Semper" (forever); "Deo
Favente" with Gods favor); "Vir-
tus Sola Invicta" Virtue alone in
vincible, etc. After six years, the
Englishman's device was adopted,
and it yet remains on the arms of
the United States. If the profess.
or is familiar with the diverse of
the great seal, ask him what he
has to say of the reverse, and the
chances are 100 to | that he can
not recollect the unfinished pyra-
mid, the eye in the triangle, the
glory proper--the motto over the
eye, "Anutt Coeptis" God has
favored the undertaking., and that
under all, "Novus Ordo Seculor-
um" "a new series of ages). The
diverse of the great seal, with its
splendid eagle, the bundle of ar
rows, the olive branch, the l3
stripes, the IL stars, the glory
breaking from the clouds, and the
sE pluribus unum" is magnificent
Iy American, but the pyramid, the
lescrt, the forbidding Egyptian
sky, and the eye in the triangle on
he reverse are simply barbarous.
