FEBRUARY'S FIVE SATURDAYS.
From The philadelphia Record.


Notice anything peculiar about this month? ?'
asked bookkeeper No? Wen. l guess I'll have
put you wise. IL is easy you don't dra "
your pay a Saturday, though. that is q sure
thing. There are five Saturdays in February, and
the shortest month in the year with five Satur-
days is rarity You see, it happen only in
a leap year. and only every seventh leap year
that, for the lst must be the first Saturday and
the 29th the fifth Saturday. We won't have an
other February with five Saturdays in it until 1895
twenty-eight years hence. You might think the
same thing would follow looking backward and
ordinarily IL would but missed leap year il
1900. you know. and that brought February com
ing in Saturday just four leap years sooner.
1t has therefore been twelve since we had
five Saturdays in February-1S6.

A good idea of the change in public sentiment
regarding the 2-cent fare law may be got
from the action of the Kansas special session.
The lower house last year passed 2-cent
bill but it was beaten in the Senate. This year
the Senate. apparently to exculpate itself from
all blame passed a 2-cent bill and sent it to
the Assembly where the Committee on Rail-
roads killed it by a vote of Is to 1. The COM
mittee handed down report in which 1t SAID;
On account of the conditions prevailing and
the straits that have come TO large borrowers nke
the railroads. this bill, while adding nothing TO til
good of the people the state, would be in effeGt
an injury TO the credit and finances of the rail-
roads These railroads large interests. ana the
empIoves of these roads. whose wages are threat,
he accounlished we believe they should not be sub

to a Star reporter the situation at the

workhouse." he stated. ION account of
getting many Jail prisoners. We have
been making some repairs and alterations
In the south wing and have therefore been
unable to use that part of the mems work.
house. That has made us short of room.
Then on account of getting many more
prisoners than usual we have been short
of mattresses and suits for the prisoners.
But We have been getting more mattress
es and suits ready and hope to be able to
meet the situation within short time.
When we get to using the south wing
of the workhouse again we will be just
full. with as many as we can accommo-
date. Then IL we get any more We will
be congested with no way to get more
room"
Steps were taken today by District At
torney Baker toward having executive
clemency granted in the case of Clarence
Smith; the tuberculosis prisoner at the
United States Jail. All Of the necessary
data will be forwarded to the Department
of Justice some time this afternoon or

The steamer, which plies between the re-
sorts on Carp lake, was on the way from
Leland to Fouche on its early mroning
trip. Between thirty and forty passengers
were on board. At 1870 the boiler Of the
steamer blew up, hurting many into the
lake and scalding others. The upper works
were entirely blown to pieces.
