JOKE ON PoMpous OFFICIAL.
Judge Evidently Was No AdmIrer Of
Red Tape Methods.

One Of the secretaries to our en-
bassy at London relates how . Ques-
ton arose as to the cost Of heating
one of the Irish law courts. A conse-
quential treasury official was detailed
from London to look into the matter.
When he introduced himself to the
Judge within whose jurisdiction the
matter lay, the Judge, who. by the way,
frequently evinced great scorn OF
red tape, smiled with suspicious bland
ness.
Certainly" said his honor. II will
put you In communication with the
person Immediately In charge Of that
department"
Whereupon he scrubbed few words
on q piece Of paper and gave 1t to q
messenger. In a short time an aged
charwoman entered. The judge then
arose and, as he left the room. said:

see about the coal. '-Harper's Weekly.

Suns Heat.

Popularity speaking, the heat Of the
sun is such that the total annual out
put Of all the earth's coal mines would
serve to keep up the solar radiation
for only one-forty-millionth part Of
second. II the earth was solid mass
Of coal and could be supplied to the
solar furnace 1t would last just 36
hours. The same difficulty attends
the attempt to mentally realize the
amount of the solar heat that II ap.
propriated by our planet. Science has
demonstrated that the amount of the
suns heat caught by the earth 10 only
the 2,250-mlllionth part. In other
words, the heat OF the sun Is suffi-
client to warm up 2.250. 000.0 900 worlds

ALBANY, N. Y, March 5.-The elo-
Quencs Of Ex-Governor Frank 8. Black
was poured forth in long address In
an effort to defeat the antirace track
bills embodying the recommendation
Of Governor Hughes Of the abolition
of the present legal discrimination in
favor Of gambling within race track
Enclosures. The assembly chamber was
packed to suffocation point at the sec.
ond joint hearing on the subject be-
fore the legislative committees.
The submission by the Jockey club
Of a proposition to substitute the Eng
fish system of credit betting" for the
present system Of open betting on race
tracks and the address of Ex-Governor
Black, who treated gambling as a
practical rather than a moral ques-
tion." were the features Of the hear.
ing.
The principal address In favor Of the
bills was made by Louis Marshall,
member of the constitutional conven-
ton of 1894, which framed the pro-
vision prohibiting gambling. This
provision" he said. was under con-
sideration for five months, and On al
most the last day Of the session II was
almost unanimously adopted. Those
who are in favor of gambling and who
say that they have the people Of the
state on their side can test the Ques-
ton by submitting an amendment to
the constitution to the people to per-
NIT gambling. Until the people speak
1t il your duty to support the constitu-
ton In its purity and in its dignity"
Ex-Governor Black said at the out
set: "As citizen of this state resent
the imputation that has gone out that
through some subterranean route an
influence is being brought to bear that
viii lead you to dishonest decision.
Are you not here to produce legislation
with your hearts and your condolences
and not with a rush Of blood to the
facet
This proposition must cover I'll
gambling or 1t is a humbug. We have
plenty Of humbugs In this world. We
have plenty Of humbugs making liv-
ing at it. The only thing you can do
to betting is to regulate II. The bills
are more drastic and wicked than the
evils they seek to correct"
At the conclusion Of Ex-Governor
Blacks speech Mr.. Marshall said:
Il had intended using ave minutes
to answer Mr.. Black, but I withdraw
that request. All ask II that Gov
srnor Black to do is to read tran
script of his speech, and II he don't
blush I'll blush for him."
Letters from Rev. Thomas r. Sficer
and Bishop Potter declaring that gam.
bling could not be stopped were read
by Governor Black. The plan submit
ted by the Jockey club was said to
have been devised after consultation
with Rev. Slicer, Police Commissioner
Bingham Of New York and others.

TO KILL HUGHES.
'It's . Poor Governor Who Doesn't
Get Threatening Letters NJ Times"

"It's . Poor Governor Who Doesn't
Get Threatening Letters NJ Times"
ALBANY. N. Y, March 5.-Rumors
that Governor Hughes had received
threatening letters, especially with ref
erence to his attitude toward race track
gambling, received scant confirmation
at the executive chamber. Governor
Hughes would not talk about 1t at all
beyond saying:
Its poor governor who doesn't
receive threatening letters at times"
The most definite rumor. which no
one at the executive chamber would
confirm, was to the effect that two
New York city priests friendly to him
had written him about threats against
the governor which had been brought
to their attention.
There Is good reason to believe that
whatever of this kind has been re-
celved has been turned over to the
police commission Of New York city.
