Collector TestiHes to Finding LID
uors on Lighthouse Tender.
SAN JUAN, p. R.; December 26.-The
hearing before United States Commits
sioner Anderson of the cases against Rob
ert Giles, a government road contractor,
and Lieutenant George W. Mentz, who,
with others, are charged with smuggling
wines and liquors from ST. Thomas on
board government vessels, was continued
here to-day.
Collector Cruzen testified that Mr. Giles
wanted to pay duty on the cases of liquors
duty, as there is no law permitting the
sells. The collector said he boarded the
three cases Of liquors addressed to the
captain Of the LAUREL: six cases were
marked Robert Giles. One case was
opened and contained brandy. Collector
Cruzen demanded three times that these
goods be delivered him; upon failing to
secure them he allowed thirty minutes for
the cases to be delivered; they were
turned over. He said that Mr.. Giles and
Lieutenant-Commande Mentz wanted to
return the cases to ST. Thomas.
clicer Cosgroye. of the Laurel, was then
recalled. He said the uuartermaster OF
the tender had not reported the renloy-
al of any cases of liquor at Culebra.
Quartermas;er Schultz and Chipcllase tes-
tilted that nothing had been landed at
Culebra, and the prosecution closed. The
defense will submit its brief on Monday.

YOHOGANIA COUNTY.

We have been looking around. unsuc-
cessfully. for a Virginia county that is
lost, strayed or stolen.
It's name was Yohogania. and 1t appears
along with that Of York in the Virginia
Almanac of 1879, but is mentioned In
print nowhere else that we have seen.
Mr.. Arthur Steele. OF Harrisonburs,
writes us that we can find a satisfactory
explanation Of the disappearance of Yo-
hogania in Kerchival's History Of the
Valley. page 176, but a search of the book.
which we have had made, has not been
rewarded as we had the right to expect
from our kind correspondents assurance.
We judge, however, from what he says,
that the count. in question was in the
Valley.
Shenandoah, we believe, is another
county whose name has been changed. 1t
was formerly called Dunmore. after the
testy and troublesome royal Governor Of
Virginia, who was in office in the colony
when the Revolutionary war broke ont.
And then there's Loudoun county-a
name always spelled as now. but, origi-
naily, we have heard, pronounced Loo
doun county.

But if a permit thou canst show

THE COAL PILE.

The Job of embarrassing a, load OF coal
is neither an easy nor an artistic one. but
out in Chicago it may become a very I'M
portant performance. For some time
past. consumers of fuel have complained
of shortage in their loads of coal and q
certain alderman OF the Windy City in
tends TO introduce an ordinance 10 pre-
vent any frauds in this direction.
The method of remedying the evil which
he has in mind is. 10 say the least unique.
1t is to use a cross, drawn in whitewash,
On top OF the coal when it leaves the
yards. The removal Of coal from the
wagon while it is being hauled to its pro-
per destination will he indicated plainly
by the breaking away Of parts Of the
wilitewash cross. The decorative art thus
applied to the load will prove an effectual
check to the driver, provided he has any
inclination TO help himself TO the precious
cargo in his custody Just what would
bumpy road, or the horses run away
does not appear TO have been considered
by the ingenious alderman. To the aver
age mind, however. it would seem that
such a calamity would put the jehu in a
very compromising position.
AS long as anthracite coal holds itself
aloof from that large portion of the pub
lie which is classified as '.impecunious.
something assuredly should be done to
protect purchasers from these alleged
shortages in weight. But the Whitewash
cross. though decidedly ornamental. does
not strike one as entirely practical.
Wouldn't ii be better TO buy the antllra-
cite by the dozen Jumps. just as we buy
eggs?

KirIing AssniIs the New British
Alliance.


Alliance.
The London Times publishes a poem
by Rudyard Kipling entitled The Row
ers," which handles Britain's alliance with
Germany without gloves. The following
stanzas are from what is supposed 70 be
the plant of a crew of an English war
gallery:
The banked oars fell hundred strong.
And backed and thrashed the ground,
But bitter was the rowers' song
AS they brought the war beat round.
Last night We swore our voyage was done
But seaward still we go,
And we tell us now Of a secret VOW
Ye have made with an open foe
There was never a shame in Chrlstendle
They laid not to our door;
And ye say we must take the winter sea
And sail with them once more.
Look soutl,--tl1e gale is scarce Ger past
That stripped and laid us down
When we stood forth, but they stood fast,
And prayed to see us down.
The dead they Knocked are scarcely cold,
Our wounds are bleeding yet;
And we tell us now that our strength Is sold
To help them press for a debt.
In sight Of peace from the narrow seas
Der half the world to run.
With a cheated crew to league anew
With the Goth and the shameless Hun.

session. The work. adds the News,

ton" but our contemporary does not "ap-

That is the safe and the just view.
In the past it has been the rule that the
Legislature seldom got down to serious
business before the Christmas recess. But
after that the members have almost in
rapid progress. So we doubt not it Will
be in this instance, and, therefore, we
would say to our exchanges that are dis
posed to criticise the body for having
frittered away time, that it might be,
well to hold up q little and see what the
next two or three weeks will bring forth.
And. by the way, for the reason among
others that the General Assembly has
never been able to accomplish much be-
fore the adjournment of the Christmas
holidays. the new Constitution provides
that hereafter it shall meet in January
instead Of December as now.
