Today's Anniversaries

: It was on Sept. "a, in the year 8l2,
that the first tIndiction" of the Ro-
man church began. The induction is
a cycle Of tributes Of corn demanded
every fifteen years. In memory of
the great victory obtained by Con-
stantine over Mezentius, in 312, the
council of Nice ordained that the ac-
counts of years should no longer be
kept by the Olympiads Of the Greeks,
but by the Induction. The Olympfads
dated from 776 B.. c., the year In
Choroebus was successful at the
Olympic games. This era was reck-
oned by periods of four years, each
period being called an O1ympfad, and
In marking a date the year and O1ynn-
pfad were both mentioned. The meth
of of computing time tE indictions
never became widespread. The CEN
fury, which was adopted in chrome
logical history first in France. has
become the universal method of reck-
ontng considerable periods Of time
among all Christian peoples. The
Jewish cycle consists Of nineteen
sixty years and the Mohametan cycle
thirty years. Sept. "a Is memorable
in the financial history of New York,
for it was on this day that BLACK
Friday. came in 1868. Gold, which
was approaching par value, was made
the basis of the most daring plot ever
known to Wall street. Those involv-
ed in the plot drove up as high as
1874, and fortunes were being lost and
won amid the greatest excitement. At
this point the government announced
that 1t would sell gold, and thus broke
the power of the conspirators.
