REV. DIR. HUGHES DISCOURSE
Spoke Last Night on Evidence of the
Almiehty.

Tile ltcv. Dr. Hughes, preaching last
evening in the Adams avenue chapel,
New York street. ON "rhe Wonderful
Works of God referred among other
things 10 the phenomena of the starry
heavens. lie said our solar system has
but one sun. but there are systems in
the great field of space which are Hit
minated and warmed by three or four
suns Many of these blazing worlds
are indeScribubly rich in divers colors.
Even individual stars shine forth in
various colurs. For instance tuppella
at one moElcnt flashes out u deep
crimson. and in a tWiuklng of an eye
it changes into an exquisite emerald
green, and again in u moment it
changes into II deep crimson.

NO INCREASED TAXES.
President Chittenden, of Select
Council, Voices the Sentiments
of a Number of Councilmen.

Despite the fact that councils now
have In" power to appropriate" for the
coming fiscal Year twice or three times;
as mitch money as was appropriated TO
mce. the expenses Of the present Year.
it is extremely unlikely that there will
hu any material increase. Several Of
the leading members in both branches
are going to fight against increasing
the tax levy. and Recorder tonneIi is
known 10 BE- opposed to anything more
Than II merely nominal increase in the
appropriations
II" has the power to veto any items
in ;he appropriation ordinance aud his
veto is final. councils having 10 power
to pass the item over his head. This is
in accordance with the whole spirit oi
the "rippcr" bill, which aims at a rcm-
,ralization of responsibility in the chief
executive of TN" municipality.
President Chittendcn, of the select
,ou"cil is one of the councilmcn ho
will oppose increasing the appropri-

II admit that municipal statistics

There are very few cities in The United

in this city in this respect is in force

now Ono Lawyer Keeps the judge s,oD
sleeping.
There is said to be a lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses a trick of the
voice to which certain measure Of his
success in United States Supreme court
practice is due. The trick consists in
waking a judge Whether it is COM
mon practice for the high dignitaries
Of the federal supreme bench to in
dulge in nap in the course of long
and tedious argument, such happen
ings are not unknown, and it is we'll
for an able logician Of the bar to be
prepared for it. The trick of waking a
sleepy Judge would seem to be some
thing in the nature of slamming law
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current Of an
electric battery. But the trick is ex-
planned as purely a matter Of sound
involved in the skillful control Of the
voice. It is said that barrister prac-
ticed in the art and rhetoric of address
Ing the bench can gather all the waves
Of sound from his throat into focus
and deposit it in the orifice Of the
Judges ear with the general effect az a
bomb The trick, however it is ac-
complished, is said to have been worked
repeatedly with, success on the late
Judge McKennan, whose habit of going
to sleep on the bench was once a no.
torious subject Of comment in the liti-
CATION over the Berliner telephone pat
ents. This queer trick Of the voice,
while it is said to be the peculiar prop
erty of one celebrated lawyer, is prob
ably attempted often with varying sue
