LATIN FROM A DITCH.

The greatest indecorum Of our mod
ern reading room is to work in shirt
sleeves, but the simplicity of former
days thought nothing of the almost
universal 'chaW" of tobacco, and
what is worse, if 1 may be pardoned a
legal phrase, provided no receivers for
the ensuing liquidation. Cleaning
anything was apparently the last idea
OF the janitor of Dane hall, Cam
bridge. This functionary, for a gen
Grafton or more, was an extraordinary
speciment named Sweetman Born and
bred for a parish priest in Ireland, he
had come to this country and fallen
upon evil days, being glad to get a
job at street digging. President
Quincy, passing one day, was amazed
to see a red head emerge from a trench
and quote in excellent Latin the lines
from the Bucolics concerning the
pleasures of the husbandman. He
took the orator into his own service,
but, finding him perhaps too much of
a handful, turned him over to the law
school. Here he became an autocrat.
His professional duties, as popularity
understood, he limited to opening the
doors in the morning and locking them
at night. He was deeply aggrieved
if asked even to replace library books
left on the tables, and selling on the
maxim so frequently used in forts,
modified it to suit his. own purposes
thus: "Sic utere Hbris ut me non
laedas." But he invented other and
higher duties. He attended all the
lectures and subsequently gave the
speaker the benefit Of his criticism,
on both delivery and doctrine. He
exercised a general supervision over
all matters connected with the school.
and in his later years became terror
to every one in or near it.-Atlantic
Monthly.

In regard to the incident which hap
pened at the Jacques Wednesday
night. it must not be imagined for
moment that the Irish are alone in
this movement to drive these vulgar
caricaturists off the stage, notwith-
standing that some editors, who should
know better, are trying to make It so
appear. Here is what the Jewish Mes.
senger has to say about those alleged
comedians who caricature the Jewish
boycott idea, but applaud as courage
Gus the resolutions adopted by the An
cient Order of Hibernians, which con-
dennis all theaters where Irishmen are
lampooned and caricatured. The time
has passed to ridicule religion or ma
tionality, and while humor.is to be well
coined, when it descends to coarse jest
and scurrility it ceases to be legitimate.
When will more of our co-feligionists
show similar pride and self-respect and
abstain from theaters and concert halls
which give as their staple food carica-
lures of the Jew, and rely upon the
Jewish public for their chief support?
Nothing SO tends to lower the Israelite
in public esteem as the encouragement.
he gives to the spectacle of his own
debasement, usually the work of Jew
ish. actors and Jewish artists, verifying
the words Of Isaiah: 'aThy destroyers
and they who made thee waste shalt
come from thee" even if the obvious
meaning of the verse is different"

1t never fails that the sugar trade
and sugar stock go to the dogs togeth-
er, writes man who is keeping tabs
on Wall street. A strong Wall street
bear party has been making a hand
some turn on the short side of sugar.
Unlike most campaigns in the stock
this one has been managed independ-
emily of the Boston operators. What
is known as the "Waldorf crowd"
composed of Harry We'll, Jacob Field
and four or five room traders, has
been the active manipulating force,
but the Flower Wall street crowd" or
'.Havemeyer party" is thought to
have been in on the play. Meanwhile
there has been apparently genuine ev-
idence off big row in the trade-the
same old row between the beet and
cane sugar interests. Such rows
break out periodically. 1t is worth
while to remark, however, that the
lower Wall street, or Havemeyer in
terests, have lately been investing
heavily in beet sugar properties 1t
is not beyond the range of probability
that people may wake up some morn
ing to read that Mr. Havemeyer and
his associates have quietly corralled a
big percentage of the beet sugar indus
tries of the country. They are work
ing to that end. One sugar trade in
terest is known to have realized many
thousands of dollars in commissions
on the beet sugar properties he has
purchased this year and turned over
to the American Sugar Refining COM
pany. The floating supply Of specu-
latiye sugar stock in the street" Is
much smaller than It once was, and
the traders who have gone short Of it
on ola-time theories are likely to come
one day soon to o disastrous realization
Of the fact that the stock market for
sugar securities IL perfectly controlled

OF late years Britain has lost sew
eral branches of trade, and this loss
is largely due to the superior educa-
tional equipment of our neighbors,
writes Philip Magnus in the Engineer
ing Magazine. An industry which we
are rapidly losing is the production of
fine glass for scientific and optical
purposes. ga generation ago the bulk
of this Manufacture was in English
hands. After long continued expert
ments in the laboratory, German
chemists have succeeded in introduce
ing such notifications in the manu-
facture of optical glass that the OPP
tician has been enabled to place on
the market lenses approaching more
nearly to mathematical perfection
than any previously manufactured in
this country. It is also worthy of
notice that the experiments carried
out in connection with optical glass
have created in England several. sub
sidiary industries This develop
ment of subsidiary industries is a fact
of considerable Importance. There
are bye-products of experiment, as of
manufacture, and these bye-products
are often found to be commercially
more valuable than the results for
which the original experiments were
undertakes Among those subsidi-
airy industries, now almost wholly in
the hands of the Germans are the
manufacture Of thermometers for ac-
curate physical measurements, the
manufacture of X-ray tubes, the man
ufacture of lamp chimneys which do
not burst, and boiling TASKS which do
not crack. The help these industries
have obtained from scientific expert
ments carried on by subsidies granted
by the Prussian bureau of education,
is fully acknowledged in the introduc-
ton to the price list of the Jena glass
works.

Exuerfmenfal Fishing.

perimental fishings, which yielded inn
portant results. Inthree days III half

Three Old Carriages Being Repaired
and Painted by Jail
Prisoners
MUST BE IN POSITION BY MAY 20

The three gun carriages which are
to be fixed up and put in place about
the courthouse grounds under the
provision made by the board of SUI
pervisors are being fitted up in first,
class shape, by the prisoners in the
county Jail. One of the carriages was
made in 1914 and the other in 1864
and for the past 30 years they have
been lying about exposed to the eff
feet of the SUM- wind and rain. This
sort of treatment has not failed to
tell even on the sturdy oak ard steel
of which they were constructed by
your Uncle Sam. Great cracks grew
and some of the parts had to be re-
placed, especially portions of the fell
loes and a number of the spolles.
The rust has been filed off the steel
parts and the roughness of the wood
smoothed down with rasps. Then
they were given a printing coat of
paint and the cracks filled with putty.
About seven pounds of the latter ma
terial was used. They are now re-
ceiving their second coat of black
paint and they look like new. One will
be stationed beside the Jail in the
y
the others will he placed on the
southeast and northeast corners.
Valuable as Relics.
These old carriages are particularly
valuable as relics on account of the
fact that they are the only ones that
can be secured, rendering it necessary
to mount the six additional cannon in
the possession of the county on rock
bases. One will he placed on each
side of the walks leading south. east

cording to the resolution of the coun-
~ board they must all be in place by

MORE WEAKNESS ADMITTED
ON THE PART OF ASSESSOR

In a further lamcntably weak at
tempt to excuse the shortcomings of
the present assessor i'm view of his
for reelection, the. Union
of this morning seeks To minimize the
work that MIR. Freeman has actually
done. lie is probably not to blame
for that, but the acknowledgement it
makes despite the statement that 500
new houses have been erected since
his assumption of the office, las Il
matter of fact he has made only 300
assessments since J. II. Johnston's
docs not help matters
much, that The Argus can see. If
this statement were true Mr.. Free
man might be considered as overlook
ing some 500 new houses. Judging
from the complaints that have come
in. however, his errors of commission
are severe enough without adding
those of omission.
To err is natural. but the man who
finds himself the target of SO much
criticism and dissatisfaction that he
must seek To unload responsibility on
his fellow, is indeed weak
