AS these salaries Indicate, the dis
trict attorney. sheriff, treasurer and
clerk of the courts will be great losers
by the new arrangement, the fees of
these offices in this county amounting
to from three TO four times as much as
the salary. The register of wills gains
under the salary arrangement, the pro-
thonotary will about come out even,
and the recorder will sustain a slight
loss.
The commissioners believe they are
entitled to the $1,000 a year, and have
been rawng the salary on that basis
since the first of the year. They have
had the best legal advice obtainable on
the subject, and have been advised that
the law gave them the $500 salary
from the moment this county passed
into the class of over 100000. They did
not take advantage of the provisions
of the act until January |, but yestev-
days decision of the Superior court in
dicates that they are entitled to it from
June last.
The opinion of the court of this
county was written by Judge II. w.
Archibald, Judge Kelly concurring.
Judge II. NJ. Edwards dssented from
their decision and filed an opinion con-
tanning his views
An appeal will be taken to the SUI
preme court from the decision of the

Fourteenth Annual Convention Held al
Observation-Disclosures Of Work.

Fourteenth Annual Convention Held az
PhiIaceIphia-Report of Work.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 9.-The folT-
teenth annual convention of the
Church Students Missionary Society is
in session here, with representatives
of every prominent college and theo-
logical college and seminary in the
United States and Canada attending
The object Of the association is to ere
ate interest among students IN the
home and missionary works Of the
Episcopal Church. and TO enroll vol
unteers for service in'the mission field.
The most importan features OF the
opening session were the reports of
E. J. Lee. travelling secretary, and the
Rev. d. T. Huntington. representative
of the association in China. In speak
ing of the causes that led to the recent
troubles in China, Mr. Huntington said
the Chinese year is divided into lunar
months, making the characterization
of a month necessary once in about
three years. A Chinese superstition
is that if this intercalculation should
fall Immediately after the seventh
". 1t occurred thus last year and oc-
casioned considerable unrest. In the
middle of the winter man calling
himself the son of the empress ap-
peared among the people of Hankow
and solicited aid He was arrested
and decapitated. and many of the peo-
pie. believing that the future emperor
had been killed, displayed great excite
ment About this time the native
priests told the people that the for
eigners wanted large number of
children for the purpose of placing
their bodies under the railroad ties.
Stories of this kind aroused the Chi
nese to action and the Boxer uprising
resulted.
J. r. Mott, general secretary of the
Worlds Student Christian Federation.
delivered an address on THE Student
Movement of the World" He traced
the progress of the movement from its
small beginning at Princeton twenty
three years ago. Today there are $40
colleges in this country and Canada de
voted to the higher education of stu
dents and professors interested in the
missionary work. In five years LOO
foreign missionaries have been sent
out and 5000 clergymen have been en-
rolled In the women's colleges there
are $50 societies and 10000 members.
There are 1876 societies in Great Brit
ain, with a membership of 5000. and
during the past five years they have
sent 1.200 missionaries into the foreign
field.

The quarters provided for the Ter
ritorial. Senate are disgrace to the
Territory and reflect no credit upon
the Secretary Of the Territory who
provided them. II the object was to
prevent executive sessions then the
selection was well made. But as the
Secretary Of the Territory is the ser
want and not the master of the legis-
lature tha, body seems likely to in
struct the gentleman to provide suit
able quarters for the Senate at once
and il rs just possible that the Senate
may conclude that the spacious quar-
terra occupied BY the Secretary would
afford very good accommodations for
the Senate.

Governor Dole seems to have most
exalted idea of the Importance of his
petty Governorship. In the words
familiar during the campaign of 1872
he is a bigger man than old Grant. :"
The President of the United States Is
not so great or so all important that
he cannot give out his message TO the
newspapers in advance of its presenta-
ton TO Congress. This is done in Or
der that il may be put IN type IN
advance and given the proper display
that all such public documents demand
and that editors may have time TO
digest it and make due editorial com
ment. No paper ever violates the
confidence thus reposed by publishing
the message in advance of the Official
notice of release. But the Governor
of Hawai-; cannot let his message go
ont until after 1t has been read before
the two houses nor have any of the
reports of subordinate officials been
allowed to be made pubic. In every
other State and Territory reports OF
subordinate officials TO the Governor
are made public as fast as completed
just as are the reports OF minor Off
GERS of the national administration.
Not so with the man who for six Yeas
played at Opera Bouffe governing.
Sometime there viii be real Ameri-
can Governor in Hawaii and then PEG
pie will have an opportunity TO con.
trast the difference between such an
administration and that of the Dole
dynasty.

Width of n Lightning Flash.

The width Of a fish Of lightning has
been measured by George Rumker of
the Hamburg observatory. A photo
graph was secured last August as
lightning struck a tower a third Of a
mile away, and from the distance Of
the tower, and the focal distance Of
the camera objective 1t was possible to
calculate the breadth Of the discharge
shown in the picture. It has been de-
termfned that the fash was one-fifth
Of an inch wide. Ramifcations shown
In the photograph on each side Of the
main discharge are attributed to the
strong gale that was blowing, the phe.
nomenon appearing like a silk ribbon
with shreds floating in the wind.

This Lamp Has Time Limit.

A time-limit in%candescent lamp.
which will burn for a predetermined
number of hours and then go out, has
been invented In Germany. 1t Is ex-
c~eedingly simple in construction and
entirely self-contained. In the base of
the lamp is mounted a copper tube In
which is contained q solution Of sui
phate Of copper. Into this dips a cop
per wire which is so connected that the
current feeding the lamp flows through
it and the solution to the tube and
thence to the lamp filament. An cleo
trolytic action is set up by this ar
rangement, the wire d~issolving in the
fluid and copper being deposited on the
walls of the tube. After a certain
length Of time, depending upon the
size of the wire, the wire is complete
ly dissolved and the circuit broken.
BY selecting the size and length Of the
wire the lamp may be made to extin-
guish itself after any fixed number of
hours. Just what use will be made of
this ingenious device Is not stated, but
1t is possible that families afflicted
with callers who stay late might find
use for a time-limit lamp.

WOMEN cATCH SHARKS.

Blue-Nosed Man-Eatar Iea6ed b. RtasH
Long Island Woman.
-Four man-eating sharks were land
ed at Bay Shore, L. T., gast week by O
sshing party AID the credit Cor the
achievement is given to n number Of
women, Mrs.. q. r. Draper, Mrs. Frank
De Rossers and Mrs. Joseph B. Girls
void. There were, Of course, q few men
In the party that left the gier. They
were rounding Fire Island when q ire
mendous shark was see to jump out
Of the water near the stern of the
boat. Captain Ketchum rugged three
lines each as thick as an ordinary
clothesline, and baited the big hooks
with good-sized chunks of pork, using
pieces Of wood about the size Of g.
brick for floats. The women Of the
party did the fishing. Soon Mrs. Girls
void got a bit so fierce that 1t almost
tefked her out Of the boat. But she
held on, and with Captain Ketehum's
assistance commenced to haul in. She
had hooked a blue-nosed shark of tre-
mendous size, which struggled in vain
to free itself. Mate Howell grabbed
the handle of a sweeping brush, to
which was attached a large-sized knife,
and when the shark had been pulled
to the side Of the boat he plunged 1t in
as far as it would go. This he did four
or Ave times. After a struggle OF
nearly fifteen minutes the shark was
killed and lifted into the boat. 1t
weighed 270 pounds. Mrs. Rogers and
Mrs. Draper each succeeded in land
ing a shark, though the prize catch
was Mrs. Griswold's. The. fourth and
smallest of the catch also fell to Mrs.
GrisWold,
