about his own experiences on that pap-r and

Summer Reading.
From the Chicago Tribune.


With the casting off of winter weight
clothing and the assumption of more airy
fabrics comes corresponding rejection Of
heavy intellectual attire for the mind and
the demand for something light in the
way of reading matter. 1t would seem an
outrage against the eternal fitness of things
to come upon a summer girl seated in 4
summer chair reading the Origin Of Spe-
cies," or Dynamic Sociology" while to dis
cover her perusing one Of the series of
hammock books would be but to realize
ones expectations. The demand for par
ticular style of literature during the warm
months is met by publishers with lists Of
books particularly designed for summer
reading" and the inference Is that the au-
thors Of these volumes had the thermeme-
ter constantly in mind during their compo-
sition, and that they rigidly confined thcrn-
selves to thoughts calculated not to raise
the readers temperature above normal"
But glimpse at the lists of these summer
books reveals the fact that they are not
confined to novels and that nature books
and art studies are considered suitable for
summer perusal This would seem to prove
either that love stories are not cooling to
the mind or that modern minds have grown
stronger and can grapple with scientific
and artistic problems even while the body Is
suffering from the enervation caused by
hot weather.

REGARDED AS DISCOURAGING.
Objections to Release Of Certain Offend
ers on Small Forfeitures.

Major Richard Sylvester. the superinten-
dent of police has forwarded to the Com
nnissioners a complaint from Lieutenant
Amiss of the first police precinct OF the
manner in which fruit cart peddlers have
been dealt with at the Police Court, under
the direction of the assistant corporation
he had three of the peddlers arrested for
obstructing the street, and required each Oh
them to deposit SO collateral. The next day
he went to the Police Court to prosecute
the cases. After waiting until court ad-
tourned, he states. he found that the men
had been allowed to forfeit IS each ana

Commenting upon this state OF affairs
Major Sylvester says:
Some time since I talked with Judge
Kfmball about the manner in which the

LYNCH LAW.
Was It Named After the Mayor Of
Galway.

From the Pittsburg Gazette.
About the year 1900 one James Fitzste-
phens Lynch was mayor Of the town of
Galway, in Ireland. He had sent his son
on a trading expedition to Spain with a
good cargo and a large sum of money
The young man returned with a shipload
Of valuable commodities which he reported
as having been purchased with the money
and with the proceeds of the outgoing car
go. After some time Spaniard came
along. demanding payment from the mayor
for the goods he alleged had been bought
on credit by his son. The mayor declined
payment, as his son averred he had paid
in cash for the goods Unfortunately for
the latter, a sailor who had been one OF
the crew, on examination by Mayor Lynch,
declared that his unworthy son had spent
In reckless debauchery not only the money
intrusted to him. but the proceeds of the
cargo as well: that he then bought goods
from "a large firm on credit, and that when
one of the partners of the firm came down
to the ship before sailing to receive the
money young Lynch murdered the man
and had him thrown overheard to conceal
the facts from his father.
The young man was Immediately arrest
ed and brought before his father. who,
notwithstanding the fearful entreaties OF
his wife and daughters, sentenced him to
death. He took him upstairs In his ware
house. adjusted a rope around his neck.
having first secured 1t inside, and then
pushed the young man out OF the window.
where his dying struggles were witnessed
by the inhabitants of the town OF Galway.
In the town records this entry Is yet to be
seen:
James Lynch, mayor of Galway, hanged
his own son out of the window for de-
frauding and killing strangers. without

martial common law, to show a good
example to posterity."
1t may be from that incident that lynch
law took its name. 1t is not a peculiar
American institution, is commonly sup
posed, but has been practiced in other
countries. The English had a walled town
in DevOnshire of the name Of Lydford.
which became noted for the summary pun
1shments inflicted notorious offenders
They became proverbial in England as
Lydford law. and 1t is not impossible that
lynch may be corruption Of Lydford. In
Scotland it was known as "Jedburgh JUS
tice.''
James Lynch, d justice of the peace in
one of the Piedmont counties in Virginia.
whose methods were both summary and
severe, is also credited with having given
his name to this offhand and expeditions
mode of dealing with criminals now gen
Ell ally known as lynch law. The practice
of lynching has been attributed to deep
seated want of confidence in the judicial
tribunals throughout the country, to de-
fects that exist in the judiciary System
of nearly all the states of the Union, ana
to the frequency with which Indicators
in rapid succession escape from the
meshes of the law and are ultimately al
lowed to go free to resume their deadly
work with more circumspection.

OBJECTS TO TRANSFER.
Permit Clerk Prefers to Return Fee to
Company.

The Washington Gas Light Company has
returned to the Commissioners permit
issued for the purpose of making a certain
house connection with a gas main The
company deposited 81 as fee for the ex-
cavation permit Upon sending to the
premises the company found that there al
ready existed a pipe and that 1t was I'M
necessary to open the street. The COM
pany requested the Commissioners to trans
fer the permit fee to an application for an
other location.
The permit clerk. Mr. II. M. Woodward.
has reported upon the matter as follows
The regulations require that 81 shall be
paid as permit fee for each building. lot,
premises or establishment connected and
for each excavation made for repairing
pipes or other underground structures AS
neither the premises were connected nor
an excavation made the fee paid should
be refunded to the applicant. This. think
positively prevents complying with the re-
quest for a transfer, and is the only safe
guard that the permit clerk has. The prac-
tice of transferring permits when not used
prevailed at one time, and was the cause
of much trouble. The fee should be re-
funded. Auditor Petty has recommended
that such action be taken.

Decline to Renew License.

Jamse A. Toomey. attorney for M. j.
O'Brien, formerly licensed plumber. has
submitted to the Commissioners a request
for a reconsideration of the adverse action
heretofore taken on O'Brien's application
for reinstatement as a registered plumber.
Mr.. H. B. Davis, the inspector of plumbing.
has submitted long report in regard to
the matter, in which he goes over O'Brien's
record, criticising him severely. He recon-
mends that the license of the plumber be
not renewed, and this action has been ap-
proved by the Commissioners.

License Peremptorily Revoked.

Ordinary notices having proved Of no
avail. Secretary Root yesterday afternoon
peremptorily revoked the license issued to
the company in 1898, and notified the COM
pany that the car shed must be removed
from the government reservation within
the next thirty days.
This action was taken after consultation
with Quartermaster General Humphrey. and
Colonel True, the depot quartermaster The
officer last named has been instructed to
see that the orders of the War Department
in the matter are carried into effect
The action Of the department in this in
stance has no direct relation to the ques-
ton of policing the government reservation
as result of the recent decision of the
judge of Alexandria county that the county
officers have no Jurisdiction over the gov
eminent reservation at the south end of
the Aqueduct bridge and can take no cogn-
izance Of infractions of law committed on
that territory.
1t Is stated at the War Department that
there Is no present disposition or intention
to interfere with the location or operation
of the station or tracks of the railway
company at the south end of the bridge
1t Is recognized that any change in the
terminus of the line at the bridge at this
time would be unnecessary inconveni-
ence to the travelling public.

Secretary of War Orders Railway Com
pany to Remove Car Shed at
Rosslyn, Va.

Once more has the War Department
found 1t necessary to lock horns with the
Washington, Arlington and Falls Church
Railway Company in consequence Of the
alleged entertainments Of that company on
government land at the south end Of the
Aqueduct bridge in Virginia.
In May. 1898, the Secretary of War grant
ed the railroad company what was describ-
ed as "a temporary license, reyocable al the
discretion of the Secretary Of War;" to
move its car shed onto land OF the United
States at Rosslyn. Va. AS a result of that
permission the railroad company placed a
large car shed and a freight office on the
government reservation at the intersection
of Chadwick avenue and Canal street. and
it is alleged that both buildings extend so
far into Chadwick avenue as to interfere
with the traffic of the street
During the past two years the officials
of the War Department have made several
efforts to secure the removal Of the build
ings, but 1t Is said the company, on vari-
Gus pretexts induced the federal officials
to postpone action. Early last year the
company was notified to remove the build
ings. but, through the influence of Sena-
tor PenroSe of Pennsylvania. the matter
be obtained from Congress during the ses-
sion then In progress. 1t was represented
that bill would undoubtedly be passed
authorizing the company to remain in oc
cupatiOn. The War Department agreed
to suspend action until the adjournment of
Congress in March last. Then, as the de-
sired legislation was not forthcoming, the
