PoRGlEs REAPPEAR.

Porgies are again found off the
Maine coast. The first fare landed
in Portland in many years was
brought in recently. There we're only
twenty-four barrels, but the fact that
they were porgies was of enough sig
nifcance in itself. These fish have
been so rare in Maine waters that no.
body seemed to know just when the
last ones were brought in.
Years ago was about the only re-
ply the older fish dealers could give.
There was time when the porgies
were SO plentiful that hundreds Of
barrels could be taken in few hours.
Then they dropped off and the bust
ness of extracting porgie's oil fell
off to almost nothing in these parts.
Their appearance seems to be gen.
eral along the whole New England
coast. Up off Gloucester the fish are
$50 plentiful that there is fleet of
Is steamers engaged in catching
them. They are, rather, trying to
catch them, for the porgies are wild
and have no inclination to be taken
in the nets.-Lewiston Journal.

CLEVELAND AND THE COOK
General Gordon's Old Negro Mammy
Too Proud to Meet the
President.

President Cleveland went to visit
Gen. John B. Gordon at the Gordon
plantation in Georgia. The dinner
was superb and President Cleveland
asked who cooked it. General Cor
don told him his cook was an old
negro nanny who had been slave
in the Gordon family before the war
and had continued as cook, says the
Washington Star.
I'D like to shake hands with that
cook" said the president.
General Gordon sent a servant to
ask the nanny to come to the din
ing room. The servant came back
with this message: "Tell Marse John
| won't come"
"Did you tell her what I wanted
her for?" asked the general, sharply.

"Tell me exactly what she said
"She said," blurted the servant, in

"Ah'se not a-comin'. Ah'se lived

lam all nah lifc.''
President Cleveland shouted with
laughter.

NOT HURT BY LONG FALL.

Frank Smisc, at work on tine ninth
story Of the Cuylcr building, under
construction in West Thirty-frst
street, fell when board broke as he
was placing it under mortar hoist.
He went all the way down to the
bottom of the shaft. An ambulance
was summoned from the New York
hospital. Other workmen, believing
Smise dead, stood aside. The doctor,
however, was greeted by a shout as
he climbed down.
''Get out Of the way. I want air"
"Whcrc's the man who was hurt ?"
asked the surgeon.
'Im the man that fell, but I'm
not hurt,' said Smise, and he as
cendcd from the shaft.
The doctor could not find even q
bruise ON his body, but took him to
the hospital for further examination
under an X-ray.-New York Eve

MAKEUP Of THE COMET.

A comet has three parts. The
nucleus is the bright, starlike point
which is the kernel, the true poten-
tial comet. Around this is spread the
coma, sort of luminous fog, shad-
ing from the nucleus and forming
with it the head. Still beyond is the
delicate tail, stretching away into
space. And this to the world in gen.
cral is the comet itself, though al
ways the least dense of the whole.
Sometimes entirely wanting, or
hardly detectible, the tail is again an
extension millions of miles in length.
Although usually a single brush of
light, comets have been seen with no
fewer than six tails.

0T1 HE summary action taken by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in instructing federal district attorneys through
out the country to begin criminal prosecutions against all
the express companies ON charges of wholesale swindiing OF the
public is beyond the jurisdiction Of MI Tafts Commerce Court
and cannot be vetoed by that body or by the Taft ADMINISTRATOR.
1t is charged by the commission, and there is documentary evidence
as proof. that the nine express companies have been dishonesty
enriched to the gigantic amount of about eightytwo million dol
lars by deliberate overcharges. This vast amount was literally
flched from the public and was paid out to stockholders III dIvl-
dends and melons" To compel the companies to repay all the
money that their books show does not belong to them would
completely bankrupt them, SO only the most fragrant cases will be
prosecuted and the courts will be asked to impose heavy fines, al
though the law also permits both fine and imprisonment for the
guilty officials. Two thousand formal complaints have been made.
The commission has performed a great public duty and it is now
for the department of Justice to perform its duty. The prosecu-
lions will be resisted by powerful railroad and other influences
that will rally to the support of the express companies. The action
by the commission should also be a new inspiration to Congress
to adopt "a permanent remedy for the colossal wrong that the
nation has endured all these years from a parasite system that, as
the Interstate Commerce Commission charges, has been an or
QaniZed swindle.

A JUST PROHIBITION.

IN MONG the bills reported in the Assembly, to be acted on next
IN week, is Assembly 261, which forbids municipalities TO locate
sewage-disposal plants within the territorial hmltso II otner
Municipalities without the consent of the latter. The simple justice
of this bill should insure it's enaction by the Legislature. The bill
applies specially to the situation in Essex county, where two or
more municipalities have combined in a plan to dump their sewage
on two neighbor municipalities, the nuisance also affecting a third.
This unneighborly and selfish step was suggested by local economy
alone. The Passaic sewer plan offers a ready means for all the
municipalities in the Passaic valley to get rid Of their sewage
without a bit of nuisance for any of them, but two municipalities
object to the cost. Instead of establishing disposal plants within
their own confines, which local sentiment forbids, they endeavor
to thrust a Joint plant on other towns and without their consent.
The bare statement of the case is enough to impel the Legislature
to pass the Beard bill to make it impossible hereafter for any
n~.icipality to invade a neighhor town with a damaging nuisance

GEBHARDT ON HIS DEFENSE.

IT 4 cannot be said that Senator Gebhardt, OF Hunterdon county,
accused of an attempt to improperly influence the selection of
a grand Jury and put on his defense before the Supreme Court
AGAINST a motion for his disbarment. will not have a fair hearing
and Judgment. He is a lawyer and his case is heard by lawyers.
Nor does it help his case to attack the motives of his accusers. IT
should matter nothing to the court whether Or not the charge was
prompted by enmity. The point is, did Senator Gebhardt do what
he is charged with having done. A letter dated March ~, l9lU,
addressed TO Sheriff George Green, of Hunterdon county, and
signed by Senator Gebhardt, calls for explanation. In this letter
was enclosed a list of fortvf five names who, the writer said, would
make good jurors" There has been no denial of the genuineness
of this letter. If it has been the custom for practising lawyers TO
address communications of this character to sherifs and seek to
Influence them in the selection of grand jurors, actually naming
more than two score, the fact is not generally known. A ease of
the kind was never developed before. 1t should be the last

Crowded Street Cars.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
1t seems queer that some State law
or city ordinance has not been enacted
to settle the question Of the full trolley
car when this nuisance has been in
existence so long. Day after day 1t is
the same complaint, or, rather, COM
plants.
When the seats in a car are taken
the car should be considered filled and
enough cars placed on the lines to pro-
vide seats for all who would ride.
That Is as it should be but never will
be until the railroads become govern
ment property and the street railways
are owned by the various municipal
tiles.
Now when the seats, aisles and back
platform of the trolley car are damned
with people the ear Is considered filled.
And the people themselves helplessly
promote these conditions by paying to
stand in the cars. When the weather Is
mild and the motorman refuses to stop
because the car is full he is liable to
hear something from the person left
standing at the corner. Worse than
that will happen If 1t is raining or
stormy. And II the motorman stops
he passengers in that car ask him IL
the company has not already got four
times as much revenue from the car
full as 1t is entitled to. What's the
use? Or, in other words, what can be
done? A R4DDER.
