about that Just now"
He seemed to be in high gloc to- think
that he had successfully forestalled
the Municipal league committee. which
went down to Harrisburg yesterday
morning to appear before the governor
with a request for his removal.
"I say" said he, "you might make a
good Joke out of that. The committee
had their trip for nothing. 1 can in-
agine the members walking into the
presence of Governor Stone and being
dismissed with n wave of his hand and
Informed that they came too late.
Really. it must have been deliciously
funny"
There are some who are mean enough
to say that ex-Rccorder Moir did not
Eivc out the news of his resignation
on Wednesday night, for the express
purpose of sending the Municipal
league committee on the long, tiresomc
journey to Harrisburg.
He spent a considerable part Of yes
terday afternoon in Winding up his af-
fairs in city hall and in settling his
police fine account. He stated to The
Tribune man that when he leaves the
office he will not owe the city one cent
He showed a statement of the police
fines collected during the fiscal year
i?00-10O1, amounting to $i.23Sij. This
amount will be paid into the city treas

He further stated that he would re-
linquish all claim to the office Of re-
corder just as soon as he received OFF,
cial notification that his resignation
had been accepted and as soon as his
successor presented himself with his
commission.

MOIR OUT;

When the governor remarked that 1t
| was for the best that the hearing had
been made unnecessary, Mr.. Sturgcs
assured the governor that the commit
tee would have had nothing to present
| against Mr.. Moir excepting the charge
that he lad made himself incompetent
for the Office of recorder by his action
in the Hitchcock matter.
4 few minutes were passed in chat
on general subjects, and the committee
retired The visit did not occupy more
than six or seven minutes.
Committees Statement.
Before returning home, the commit
tee gave me the following statement,
in response to request for an express

Against James Moir, personally, the league

that direction, but he seems to have lacked the

| Templar, to be held at Louisville, Ky.
! IN August, promises to be the largest
gathering of the kind ever held. Con-

Louisville people to all in houses at the
disposal of Knight Templars.
In u recent report submitted to the

contracts have been entered into by
thirty~fOur grand communicates. out

These contracts have been made for
four days attendance on the relebra-

Ohio and Missouri each have seven
commentaries already enrolled for at

The total number of sir knights and
their friends represented in the con-
tracts already closed is nearly 10000,

ing the trip will be issued in this city
in few days. and it will be one of the

Hundred Years Age.
Men couldn't steam across the sea.
A hundred years age.
And none wasn't all they thought .
Worth having here below:
They had no elevators then
To hoist them through the air.
And yet they thought, the poor old guys,
Thai they were wonderful and wise,
And that the world was fair.
Men couldn't talk by telephone
A hundred years ago;
They sewed and reaped and thrashed by
hand.
And when the streams were low
They had to stop the mills and walt
For Gods good rain to fall.
And yet they proudly went about
With heads held high and chests pushed out,
And thought they knew 1t all.
Their battleshIps were made Of wood
A hundred years ago.
And. oh. the weak old ways they had
| For laying people low!
They had no lightning trains on which
| To fit athwart the scene,
And yet those poor. benighted men
Supposed that things were perfect then.
Alas! but they were green!
| Men had to load each time they shot.
A hundred years ago.
| And then, alas. they had no gas
To light things here below!
There were no trolley cars to dodge.
No horseless things to tame,
And yet. poor fools. they thought they
Had all the blessings in their day
That men might ever claim!
But they had pessimists around
A hundred years ago,
Who mourned because their sons could meier
Obtain a proper show!
And they predicted dire things
They thought the end was near;
They fancied that the devil then
Worked overtime in urging them
To start red havoc here.

IT was thinking of my quail hunts. I had
a fine black horse that 1 rode everywhere,
and one day out hunting quail 1 saw a big
covey on a low branch of a tree. I threw
the bride rein over the end Of the limb and
took a shot.
Several birds fell and the rest hew away.
