Councilman Dcvein. independent mem.
Der. They too. have an eye on indc.
pendent sentiment
In the first place. Mr.. Wcslcin diff.
fered sharply with Mr.. Gaancy on the
question OF regarding extra payments
to court stenogrnpherF as proper sub
jects for mandumus proceedings. Mr.
Weglein agreed in principle with Mr..
Develin, who argued THAT these extra
payments should be provided for in III.
budget and not paid by tho costly man
damus method.
II was surprising to many {" 500 Mr..
Weglein passing up Mr.. Gaifncy and
talking nice" TO Mr.. Devc.in. Eur if
there is to be a play for independent
sentiment. then Mr.. Wcgc,n. who j.
spoken of for Mayor next year. and
Mr.. Hall do not care to let Mr.. Ware
get all the credit for having hiuI,
feeling toward independents.
Hall Yields on Payroll
In the second place. Mr.. Hall handled
Mr.. Dcvein's objections 10 the Lu.r
payroll Of the Municipal Court with
tact and unwonted consideration. The
big payroll was no; reached in the courc.
Of passing on the budget until close 10
dinner time last night.
Most OF the members wanted to get
away in hurry and rush the payroll
through. Mr.. Hall, however. clearly
announced that the situation must he
met. and. although h" did not Weld
much To Mr., D"v"liu's "bjrrtiu,. l.,
certainly yielded something. All that
happened in the end was that tha nav
roll was approved in the same amount
ns 1t was last year and Judge Brown ,
request for eight additional statistical
clerks was rejected. which was wha,
was expected.
But Mr.. Hall agreed with Mr.
Devclin that th" chief Of the Hurcnu -,
Records in the court sh ,uld no, no Il
probation officer. Further. Mr.. Hall
.ohfuru 'h"r" was merit in Mr..
l''v"'n's criticism Of the fact that fnur
"ricIS wer" attached t" the rrim,nn
division. and all four were in one rrnm
On" crier and two assistant criory. nrL
Mr. Develn felt that the budget crj,I
for relief from this burden.
In his argument Mr.. Drvclin showed
how the cost of the MunicipaI Court
had mounted from S37 .694.3I in ,oI
I" S>''6.3ao in 1870 and intimated Tim,
th" opportunities for good social and
humanitarian work had beer obtoiueI
by loading the payroll.
On tn" other hand Mr.. Hall ofcrcd
H." Interesting argument that tho en-.
r'rint"ndrnts Of Glen Mills and linn, ,
ingdnn Nc'nrmatorics had said that tho

Balancing of Trees.

There has been offered very in
tereSting suggestion concerning the
utility of a tree of the irregular ar
rangement of its branches. Watching
a large plane tree during gale, an
observer noted that while one great
limb swayed in one direction, another
swayed the opposite way, and al
though all the branches were plunglng
and bending before the blast, they did
not move in unison, or all at once in
the same direction. But for the pc
culiarity in the motion of the branches,
it is thought, the tree could not have
escaped uprOOting; and the investiga-
tor suggests that this kind of balanc-
ing serves in general to protect large
trees. white oaks and beeches, which
have their branches unsymmetrisally
placed, from being overturned by high
winds-WashingtOn Star.

Moon Cake pax Chinese Festival.

September II is a great day for all
good Cinnamon, for then occurs the
east of the Moon Cakes. The festival
asts all day and all night, and is
Celebrated by the eating of cakes made
Il the shape of the moon and literally
Sprinkled with all sorts of seeds. All
the Chinese grocers in the United
States sell packages Of these cakes,
and the very poorest resident of China
town considers himself bound by the
faith of his fathers to purchase at
least one package.
The greater number of cakes pur-
chased the greater is considered the
purchasers respect for the nights
chief luminary, and some very black
fate is believed to be reserved for
the Chinaman who fails to eat a cake
before the festival is over. This doom
is expected to fall upon him before
next Moon Cake.
