NEW YORK COUNTY NAMES.
Peculiarities and Significance Of the
Brief Sixty-One.

From the Fort Plain Standard
The student Of history who merely glances
over the names Of the counties of the state
of New York will find much to arrest his at
tention. Though they number only sixty
one yet seven of these begin with the letter
o. These are Otsego, Oswego, Orange, On
tario, Oneida, Onondaga and Orleans Five
of these seven names are Indian, and with
such additional ones to draw upon as Ohio,
Oregon Ottawa, Osceo'a, Ottumwa, Ontana-
gon, Usage, Oklahom and many others. no
less significant than beautiful. 1t Is surpris-
ing that the newer states of the west. which
are peculiarly addicted to Indian nomencla-
ture. have left this distinctive field of avalla-
bility SO decidedly to the older state of New
York with its comparative fewness of coun-
ties
Another remarkable occurrence in New
York county names, when we consider the
small stock to Gull from, is the great num-
Der that run in pairs. Thus. there are just
two beginning with a, Albany and Allie
gany; two with D, Delaware and Duchess;
two with E, Erie and Essex; two with f,
Fulton and Franklin: two with G, Greene
and Genesee; two with H, Herkimer and
Hamilton; two with L, Lewis and Livings-
ton; two with T, Tioga and Tompkins; I'M
til quite recently, when the erection OF
Nassau broke the chain, two with N. New
York and Niagara, and next year probably,
to restore the chain again, two with b,
Broome and Bronx. Surely 1t would be
sixty proper names unless they were deftly
and cunnfngly juggled.
The English colonial era is represented
by Richmond. New York, Kings, Queens,
Westminster, Suffolk, Essex and Albany;
the brief Dutch regime by Rensselaer, and
Duchess: the ante-revolutionary heroes by
Montgomery, Franklin and Hamilton; the
generals of the great war by Greene. Put
nam, Wayne. Warren Schuyler, Herkimer
Sullivan and Steuben; Ireland by Ulster and
Orange; the four most popular Presidents
by Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe; the state heroes by Fulton, Clin-
ton, Yates, Livingston, Broome and Temp
kins; the realm of fancy by Rockland and
Columbia, and the realm of doubt by Lewis.
Orleans and st. Lawrence.
The grandest of all the Indian names be-
long pre-eminently to New York. The words
Erie, Niagara, Wyoming Delaware, Ale
gany, Genesee and Chautauqua have been
carried around the world and emblazoned
in story and song; and with their equally
well-knoWn sisters Sarat oga, Oneida, Onon-
daga, Cayuga, Otsego, Seneca, Schenectady,
Chenango and Schoharie, have found dupli-
cation and perpetuation in nearly every one
of our forty-five republics. What a pity
the only name to round out absolute per-
lection was lost-Mohawk!

THE TAaGART DIVORCE SUIT
Plaintiffs Cousin Again on the Stand

WOOSTER, Ohio. august 28-william
Taggart. cousin Of Capt. Taggart, was
again called to the stand for cross-exam-
ination In the Taggart divorce trial today.
He was asked many questions by Attorney
Sterling. His replies were generally In
definite or evasive. The object of the at
torney was evidently to show that the wit
ness had received money from Mrs. Tag
CART. Asked If it was not a fact that he
had received on May 81. 1900, a New York
draft from Mrs. Taggart, he said:
mo. sir"
He insisted that he had not received an
other draft on the same day from Mrs
Taggart, but finally explained that he did
get two drafts amounting to 500 about
this time. that the drafts came from Mr.
Hurlbert of Chicago, Mrs. Taggart's finan-
cial agent, and that he had received the
money to pay bills Mrs. Taggart owed in
Orrville He was asked if Mrs. Taggart
was not fond of him at this time and if he
did not think great deal of her.
Il think not" was his answer.

Decision Favors the Railroad.

The interstate commerce commission, by
Chairman Knapp, today rendered deci-
sion in the case Of the Globe Wernicke
Company against the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern Railroad Company and 9TH
ers, In which it was held that while there
is much to support. the view that sectional
bookcases might properly be placed in the
first class of the official classification. 1t
does not appear upon the proofs presented
that one and one-half times first-class rates
for all bookcases is an unlawful discrimi-
nation against the sectional variety. and the
action of defendants In fixing the same
classification and rates for sectional as for
other bookcases does not exceed the limits
of their discretion; nor is defendants one
and one-half times first-class rate for the
transportation of sectional and other book
cases shown by the record to be unreason-
able. The complaint was dismissed without
prejudice to further investigation.

RATE AT WHICH FISH SWIM.
Sharks Travel Fastest, with Tarpon Sec
ond and Mackerel Third

Study of the speed of fishes is embar-
raised by unavoidable difficulties. 1t IS
not possible, as with birds, to set up tall
poles at intervals of q quarter OF mile
and, with the help of stop watches, time
them as they go by. Nevertheless, recent
investigation OF the subject goes TO snow
that the mackerel, if not the champion
racer of the briny deep, comes pretty
near to carrying off the hOnOrs. Cn~
questionably it travels sometimes as fast
as an express train at high speed-say,
at the rate of sixty or possibly seventy
miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it swims-j just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little harbor
tug. Undoubtedly the energy employed
by fish of great size, such as 3O-foot
shark, when travelling at it's best gait,
is something tremendous. An ordinary
tug which represents a maximum or
energy in minimum Of bulk, utlllzes
about 200 horsepower. OF course, it is
only a guess but it would not seem to
be over the mark to suppose that a 10
foot whale makes use of 500 horsepower
when it propels it's huge bulk through
the water at the rate of thirty miles an
hour. A whale-which is mammal
and not fish-might be compared to a
freight train if the shark is a cannon
ball express, but it can beat the fastest
ocean greyhound in a speed contest.
If there is a fish that can travel faster
than a shark it must be the tarpon,
which can probably shit her up to the
tune of eighty miles an hour, if pressed
for time. Generally speaking it may be
said that fnny creatures which live near
the surface of the sea are swift swim
mers, as compared with those that dwell
in the depths. Thus the cod, which is q.
deep-water species, is sluggish and would
stand no show at all in a race with the
mackerel or herring. These latter,
which are distinctly pelagic, depend for
their living upon their activity in pursu-
ing the agile prey and they must be
quick in their movements in order to es-
cane their own enemies.
IF the mackerel was as big as a good
sized shark it would probably be the
speed champion of the ocean. No fish
is better shaped for rapid going. Some
years ago a yacht. builder in New York
constructed a sloop with hull patterned
exactly after the under body of a Span
ish mackerel She was called the I'm
dine, and, if tradition does not lie, she
never was beaten. Like the fish after
which she was modelled she had her
greatest breadth of beam forward of
amidships-a decidedly novel idea in
boat building. One may say, indeed
that all modern water craft are more or
less fishlike in their makeup Saturday
