TO BE HELD TO CONTRACT.
Bid on Electric Generating Plant Said
to Have Been Due to Error.

The District Commissioners, upon recon-
mendat ion of Engineer Commissioner Bid
die. propose to hold Malcolm w. Hill & Co.
to furnish for SO, 400 the machinery for the
electric generating plant for the new sew
age pumping station. The next lowest bid
der was the DOler Engineering Company,
which proposed to furnish the machinery
for 1900. The difference between the
lowest bid and the proposal next to it,
amounting to nearly 5000. was commented
upon at the time the bids We're opened,
March 90 and few days afterward the
Commissioners received letter from NAL
involving the sum of nearly 81, $50, had been
made in their bid The firm stated that
they could i'll afford to lose this sum IL
the contract was awarded to them at the
figure mentioned in their proposal.
In his Endorsement on the papers, which
Commissioner Mcfarland has approved,
Col Biddle says:
1.-THE specifications for this plant were
carefully drawn and the bid of the lowest
material and the machinery being first
class. There seems to be no reason, there
fore, why the lowest bid should not be ac-
cepted. AS to the statement of Malcolm
w. Hill & Co. that they made an error of
81 600 in their bid, 1t is not possible for the
District to consider that aspect OF the case.
The bid was made apparently with full
understanding of the specifications and the
bidder should be held to it. 1t would be
very bad precedent, even If legal, to al
low the lowest bidder to increase the
amount Of his bid, bringing it, as 1t would.
very nearly to that of the next lowest bid

DISCRETION REPORTED
FIRE DEPARTMENT WATCHMAN
GOES TO PANAMA.

An unusual incident in the routine of the
District fire department was noted yester
day afternoon when Chief Engineer Will
liam I. Belt reported to the Commissioners
that Waterman ]. NJ. Strong of truck COM
pany B had deserted from the department
and had left Washington for the sunny
cline of Panama.
According to Chief Belts report Watch
man Strong called at the chiefs office last
Friday. and asked to be allowed to put in
a substitute for ten days. as he had an
aunt living out of town who was very Ill,
and whom the fireman desired to visit. II
granted his request says Chief Belt, PRO
vided that he would put eX-F>ireman j. H.
Nangle in his place substitute. Since
that time l have been informed that Strong
has gone to Panama.
ITO ascertain more about the matter I di-
rected Battalion Chief Sullivan and Capt
P. D. Martin of truck company B to make
a thorough investigation of the case and
report their conclusions. They report that
Strong has gone to Panama.
II will further state says Chief Belt,
that the actions of Mr.. Strong leave the
department in a bad position for the rea-
son that there is no way of paying the
substitute should he be retained for the
ten days, and for this reason | have this
day dismissed the substitute. | am further
informed by Capt Martin that Strong had
borrowed money from two members of
truck company B, who, when they discov-
cred Strong had left examined his locker
and found that he had taken everything
away, showing that he does not intend to
return
Several days ago Strong, so 1t Is stated,
wrote to Commissioner West, protesting
against being denied admission to the police
force, the rejection being due to the fact
that he was one-eighth of an inch below
the height prescribed by the regulations.
Should he return it Is understood his
chances for getting on Maj. Sylvester's force
are still further diminished by his sudden
departure from the ranks of the fire de-
partment.
The case of desertion from the fire de-
partment is an unusual one. Commissioner
mcfarland has approved Chief Belts rec
ommenda ton that Strong be dismissed and
Otis w. Grigsby be appointed to the
vacancy.

NEW AMERICAN SAINT.
Lecture on the Life Of Isaac
JogueS

The intrepid Isaac Jogues, who was put
to death by the Mohawk Indians In 1916, is
regarded as worthy the honors of a martyr.
No more interesting and fascinating story
in American history can be found than the
narrative of his extraordinary career. He
was the forerunner and pathfinder for the
illustrious Marquette; he planted a cross
overlooking the valley of the Missippi in
1641, when its future discoverer was only
four years of age; he was the first white
man to discover and survey the exquisite
beauties OF Lake George to which he gave
its French name; he prepared the way for
LIE Moyne, the discoverer of our salt lakes.
who was to follow twelve years later and
open a mission among the Onondagas, the
first OF the fierce IroquoiS nations to well
come a missionary. He was the pioneer
missionary among the Indians in the ter
ritory now comprised in New York state,
the first priest on Manhattan Island and
one of It's first historians
One of the strange incidents brought to
light by the process of his canonization Is
the fact that ProteStantS even more than
Catholics have kept the record of his IL
lustrious life. Thus il is through the gen.
crosby of descendants of the Dutch Cal
whist settlers In Albany and New York,
who have placed their family records at
the disposal of the historians, that we owe
much of our knowledge of the events Cap
tured by the Mohawks in 1912 and bar
barously tortured Father Jogues was ran
somed by the Dutch governor OF Fort Or
ange, now Albany, and sent down the Hud-
son to New Amsterdam, now New York,
where he was kindly received by the local
minister, Dominie Megapolensis. and by the
director general, William Kieft. 1t Is due
TO the services of the eminent topographer,
Gen John 8. Clark of Auburn, N. Y, that
the site OF the martyrdom of Jogues was
identified some twenty years ago. The
property about here has been secured and
briD ha hnn0r M
martyr. To this shrine large pilgrimages
are made yearly, and 1t Is now proposed
to erect temple worthy of SO great a
cause.
Rev. Thomas ]. Campbell s. j., ex-prov-
incial of the Jesuits, having made a care
full study of the life of Jogues and having
retraced his journeyings, will give lecture
on the subject in the Columbia Theater
Sunday evening, April o. To this lecture
clergymen and iaymen OF all denominations
will be invited.

tests of armor plate soon, probably We'd
nesday. Large and medium caliber guns,
using high explosives, will be fired at a
structure representing the side of a battle
ship of the Tennessee class These tests
are for the purpose of ascertaining the re-
sisting qualities of the armor as placed on
q ships side and OF determining the value
Of the splinter bulkheads and other internal
construction. Tests similar to these using
high explosives fred from mortars, are be-
Ing arranged to take place at the Sandy

queer French Canadian Customs.

A French Canadian New Years GUS
tom now nearly obsolete was that
known as La Quote de rEnfant Jesus
the collection for the infant Jesus.
This collection was managed by the
parish priest who was driven round
among his parishioners by the senior
churchwarden or the beadle. The gifts
that he thus gathered for the love Of
the infant Jesus" on the festival of
the circumcision We're distributed
among the poor. Intimately connected
with this was another practice of col
lecting aims for the poor, known as La
Guignolee or La Ignotee. The words
signify both a custom and a song. On
the eve of the new year bands of
youthful masqueraders serenaded the
various residents of the locality after
nightfall with music and song, knock
ing at doors and windows and begging
for offerings for the poor, generally
eatables, with threats of revenge il
gifts were refused. A piece of pork
with the tail adhering, called La Chi
gnee, was the traditional offering ex-
pected.

A Gala Day In France.

New Years, not Christmas, is the
French day of days. Cards, flowers
and bonbOns are exchanged in profu-
sion, and visits are made. In the din
ing room on New Years morning are
assembled the gentlemen of the family
to greet the ladies with courtly bow
and gallantly to kiss their hands. The
youth and those of the family in the
prime of life make ready to pay visits.
They start forth with pockets and
hands filed with remembrances. The
older ones, ensconced in easy chairs be-
fore the fire, wait for the younger rela-
tives and friends who will come with
light and merry talk to make good cheer.

Several weeks ago the attention of
the people of this county was called
through this paper to the fact that
John H. Cater, convicted of che
murder of George Wemett and sem
fenced to life imprisonment woald
seek a pardon from the coming session
of the Iowa Legislature. Since
that time many have expressed
Indignation that the request should
be made, and insist upon remonstrat-
ing. Accordingly petition to the
Governor and Legislature has been
drawn up protesting against granting
him pardon. and after it is signed
by the people of the county, Repre-
sentative A. jacobson will present
it to the Legislature. Copies of the
petition have been placed in the three
banks of Decorah, where it may be
signed by anyone desiring to do SO.
The petition is as follows:
Notice having been given that an
application for the pardon of John II.
Cater, who was covicted for murder
in the first degree at the November
Term 1894 of the District Court of
Iowa, i'll and for Winnesheik County,
and sentenced to imprisonment for
life, has been presented to the Cover
nor OF the State of Iowa, and that
the 31st General Assembly for it's
advice,
We, the undersigned, citizens of
Winnesheik County, Iowa, do hereby
protest against such movement and
humbly petition the Hon. A. B
Cummins, Governor of Iowa and the
Thirty first General Assembly of
Iowa that no pardon be granted to
said John III. Cater or that any
recommendation for such pardon be
made for the following reasons:
1st. That he was twice trie d
for the murder of George Wemett and
both times found guilty of murder in
the first degree by twelve intelligent
Jurors.
3D. That said John HI. Cater.
about October 1894, was also in
dicted by the Grand Jury OF Winnie
shiek County, Iowa, for murder in
the first degree for the killing of
his wife; aud if pardoned. the law
and Justice demand that he be
brought to answer for this henious
crime.
3d. That society is best protected
and justice and law are best subserved
by requiring said John HI. Cater
to comply with the verdict of the jury
and Judgment of the learned Court.

New Year 'sDay
In Farof China
Greatest of Festivals In the Celestial
Empire. Happy Time For
Pigtailed Creditors.

~ all Chinese festivals that of
New Years day is the greatest.
~ Being a peculiarly contradic-
tory race, the Chinese do not
reckon time by the sun, as we do In
America, but by the moon, so that the
Chinese New Years day may come at
any time between the middle of Jan
uary and the middle of February.
When the time approaches, creditors
are happy, for by the last day Of the
old year all debts must be paid. The
Chinaman who cannot pay up must
hide his head until the festival is over.
Another preparation is general wash
ing up. Household belongings and per-
sonal attire are put through severe
course of soap and water In order that
the new year may be begun with clean
liness.
When the night of New York's eve
approaches, the sound of the firing of
crackers begins and is kept up with an
incessant din until dawn. The first
business in the new year is the sacrifice
to heaven and earth. A table is spread
with offerings Of food and drink, can
dies and incense, and crackers are let
of again just outside the front door.
Then the father of the family comes
forward and kneels down in front Of
the table, holding a stick of incense in
his hand and knocking his head three
times on the ground. Rising to his
feet, he places the incense in the censer
ON the table. More crackers are let off,
and paper money is burned.
After this ceremony the household
gods are worshiped in the same way,
and then the ancestral tablets, after
which the "living idols" have their
turn. The father and mother sit down
side by side, and all their children and
grandchildren kneel before them and
do them reverence, but offerings are
not made to the living, as they are to
the dead. Then the servants come for
ward, dressed in their best, and kneel
down, bowling their heads to the
ground before their master and mis-
tress, receiving presents when they
rise.
Long before all these ceremonies are
finished 1t is quite light, but in the
early hours Of New Years morning the
streets look as deserted as If no one

was living in the city. The shops are
all shut, and the busiest streets are as
quiet as IL 1t was an ideal Sabbath Of
rest
But the quiet does not last long. Oc-
casional crackers are let off, and
strings Of beggars soon appear on ev-
cry hand. They are far more numerous
They know they will reap a rich har-
vest on this happy day, for it is lucky
to begin the year with good deeds. and
1t is not long before the streets are
filed with well dressed multitude
starting out to pay New Years calls.
Custom requires that all the men In
China shall call ON their relations.
teachers and friends, and for three
days the visiting goes on. Women are
not expected to pay New Years calls or
to see the visitors who come to their
houses. As these are men, of course
that would be highly improper.
When friends meet in the street for
the first time In the new year they
stand and bow very politely; they put
their hands together and shake them,
saying. "Kung shi, kung shi," which
means II respectfully wish you JOY"
and they often add. MAY you grow
rich," for that is the Chinese idea OF
happiness.
For three days the New Years re-
joicing goes on. and then all the poorer
classes begin to work again. Large
shops and places of business are closed
for a month. Brooklyn Citizen.
