Saturday Evening’s Session Devoted to Sta- tistics. ‘The session on Saturday evening of the Ameri- can Economic Association was devoted to re- ports on statisties under the direction of Hon. Carroll D. Wright, the chairman of the com- mittee on statistica. Mr. Wright prefaced the reading of the various papers by a- report on statistical work, which was full of interest. He said that as to quantity, the work of American statisticians is equal to that of any other coun- try: as to quality, their work still falls some- what below the scientific characteristics which belong to continental efforts. Yet, in respect to quality they are making rapid progress. Besides the regular sources of routine statistics, | twenty-four states have established bureaus of labor statistics. There has been a constant elevation in the character of the reports of the various bureaus and departments, ‘The. work of the census was lyzed in detail in Col. Wright's report and the value of some import- ant points introduced into the work of the census of 1890 which bad not been in- cluded in previous censuses. Among the com- pilations that were referred to as of special im- portance were the statistics of business, wear and tear of buildings and personal indebted- ness. Co-operation of states with the general government in statistical work was suggested. Tt would suve expense, but would lead ulti- mately to the establishment of a permanent census burean, a result which, the report said, most statisticians would like to see. STREET RAILWAY STATISTICS. A topic of géneral interest was discussed by . Charles H. Corley in his paper on “Street Railway Statistics.” Heferring to the social significance of street railways he spoke of two of its factors on which the efficient discharge of this social function depends. These are-- first, speed of cars, and second, cost of riding. Itis found that the distance from work at whicl itis ible for workers using the cars to live varies with the speed of the cars, while the total area made available for population varies as the square of the speed. ‘The second factor isan important one in the efficient perform- ance of function of spreading the working population, since every reduction in fares laces suburban residence within reach of a | an class of the poor. That they avail them- selves of it is shown by the fact that in some cases a decrease of city rent in thickly settled quarters has followed the opening of a new suburbaf line. He thought that should street railways ever come undcr public ownership or control cheapness and efficiency of wervice should be regarded rather than the obtaining of revenue. STATISTICS AND CORPORATIONS. ‘The next paper was on “Statistics as a Means of Correcting Corporate Abuses,” by Prof.Henry C. Adams. It was the object of this paper to show that there is an essential difference be- tween a business organized asa corporation an one organized as a partnership, and that man social evils arise from the fact that the law of wrivate property, which is appropriately ap- Plied inthe case of a business organized ax a j Partnership, is ir. applicable to a business or: Wet at’ corporation.

A Submarine Boat Being Constructed at Detroit. <i A submarine boat is being constructed at the Detroit boat works which promises realization of Jules Vernes dream of the Nautilus. The builders have been ordered to keep quiet, but it was learned on reliable authority that the design was submitted to Secretary Whit- ney, and he had about completed arrangements to build, when Secretary Tracy succeeded him and work was stopped. The boat is like a double pointed cigar. It is forty feet over all, sixteen feet from top to bottom, and nine feet beam. The motive pow-r, clectricity, is storage battery and the boat can be submerged by simply turning a switch.

PUBLISHING MARRIAGE LICENSES. Cardinal Gibbons Gives His Reasons for Op- posing the Custom. A Baltimore paper, which has been agitating the question of the publication of marriage li- censes, printed interviews on Saturday with the leaders of the Catholic and Protestant Epis- copal churches. Cardinal Gibbons expressed himself as decidedly opposed to the publication of the licenses for two general reasons: First, decause of its being an interference into the Private affairs of people and families; and, soc- ond, on the ground of human frailty. There are daily cases which come before him, be said, where it is almont a necessity that a mar- riage should be kept secret. Instance, only » short while ago an application was made for a dispensation and it was granted. The young woman was in a condition which would have blighted her reputation if the fact thet the li- cense had been issued had been published. Another case was that of a young man who applied at the Curdinalate for permission to have a private marriage. He stated his step- mother was violently opposed to his marrying. So determined was she in her objections that she had threatened to attend the wedding and assault him at the altar side. His request was complied with and the performed. Rev. Dr. J. 8. B. Hodges, rector of St. Paul's P. E. Church, said: “I see no good reason wh; the daily publication should not be made. It sppears to me that there would be a great deal of good done, and a on designing men. The fact of an application being made in a public court for a marriage license seems to be tantamount to its being of public interest. and its publication should be made in time to give any one who may have valid objections to make them, before a great wrong would be committed. For it is a great wrong when a couple are married where there is some im- pediment CAPTAIN O'SHEA REPLIES. He Publishes a Statement Denying Timothy Healy's Charge. Having been advised that he cannot bring an action for libel with hopes of success Capt. O'Shea has published @ statement to disprove the truth of Timothy Healy's taunt that he bartered his wife's honor to gain a seat in par- liament. The letter is dated ‘“Stalbridge, Dee. 24, 1890." The writer rays: “When J was a liberal whip I did my best to promote your (Healy's) candidatureass liberal and supporter of Mr. Gladstone at Middle Armagh and afterward at Liverpool in 1883. I quote from a letter from Mr. Chamberlain to me, dated December 20, 1890, in which he suys: ‘Tassume that you will take some notice of the brutal attack on you made by Mr. Healy at Kil- kenny, although, unless Iam much mistaken, you will have no legal remedy. His statements are entirely inconsistent with what I know of the general election of 1885. According to my recollection, Mr. Parnell neglected at first to give vou any assistance, and did not do +o until ic had seen letters from myself to another per- son pointing out that your services in the past as an intermediary between himself and the liberal party had been of real advantage to both, and that such services continue equally necessary if it was desired to maintain any kind of friendly relations between the Irish nationalists and the liberal party. Respecting Galway, I find that T wrote you to the sate effect in January, 1886, which letter I authorize you to publish if you think it useful. ‘This’ corre- spondence ought to afford euiticient evidence that no such complicity existed as your tra- ducer has been base enough to inrinuate.’ “The letter from Mr. Chamberlain is marked private, and is dated January 22, 1846 “In the present condition of frish more than ever unfortunate that you have not found a seat.

To show what an Indian can stand whoa he has to, says a writer in the Detroit Hree Press, y tell of an incident which happened dur- g the winter I was with them. Toward ever: ing ona very cold winter day, when it wea snowing just alittle and drifting a grent deal, an Indian came t with his rife. I imagine that the jug hed been entirely full of whick, when he started, and by the time he got to th house he was in rether a joily ion. The jug aud the rite were taken away from im, id he was ordered to get to his wigwam as quick ashe could before darkness He left, and was supposed to have gone to the camp, butearly next morning his squaw ap- peared at the house and said that he had not come home that night, and as the night was cold she had been anxious about him. Then search for the lost Indian began. di heds near the nder a hea snow, aad the chances are that the snow that was above him « had helped to save his lif the Indian had me in it was luis own squuw whi instinet, had tracked him archers for directio . with true Indis and she alone when she found him. ‘Ap ian wat a frozen corpse. She aumbled hin out of the snow bank and pulled off his blankets and drag; wn tothe creek, where a deep hole was cut in the ice for the purpose. of Laying the Indian out on the snow; she took the pan that was beside the hole, and, filling it re dashed pailfal fer of water over the body of the Indian. By the time the other — unsucces ful thers had _re- turned she had her old thawed out and seated by the fire wrapped up in blankets. There is no question that if he hud been found by the others, and hgd been taken sin the house frozen as he was, he would have died. cunerelredalinet THE MAFIA IN DETKOIT. ‘Two Recent Crimes Charged to the Account of the Mysterious Band. ‘Through the retaining of Lawyer Charles A. Moore of Detroit to assist in the defense of the Italians accused of murdering Chief of Police Hennessy of New Orleans it has leaked out that abranch of thedreaded Mafia existe in that city. It also transpires that the society there numbers eighteen or twenty members and that Salvadora Musscoda, who assassinated a fellow Italian some weeks ago, and Vito A. Maoli, who shot and Gangerously wounded Reporter Fred Crimmins, are members of the gang. The managing editor of a Detroit daily, who-re- fuses to let his name be given, has also cause to know of the existence of the society, as he has « letter in his which is sij “Mafia,” and which omen under pean of vague threats, to drop the use of the word “dago” in his paper. ‘The editor has always referred to the Italians as “dagos” and it has incensed them. The head of the order is said to be w barber who runs a well-known shop in Detroit, and it is known that they raised for the defense of the Italians and offered Crimmins $200 to leave the town. Crimmins has since published # statement, in which he says he was at fault and will not the case. ‘This is laid at the door of the ster bende an MARRIES A BARON.

The increase in the length of the day for the month will be fifty minntes, and at the month's close we shall have almost an hour of daylight addcd to the shortest day of the year at the winter solstice. ‘The sun's declination is still far down in the southern section of the heavens, but his |. speed is an accelerating one, being more than three times as rapid when February oponaas it now is. During the year there will be an an- nular cclipse of the sun in June and a partial eclipse in November, neither of which will be visible in our latitude. The old moon is in the phase of last quarter on the 2d, the January micon not making its appearance mntil the 10th, when it is almont at e extreme limit of its southern declination. ‘The moon quarters on the 16th and becomes fall on Jannary 24. Owing to the great difference in declination between the moon and the various plancts there are no very striking meetings for the month, although against the deep blue back- ground of the clear winter sky the brilliancy of the moon and the principal stars offers a ture well worth admiration. The first con- junction is with Morcury on the 10th, but as this is the day of new moon we can see neither of the celestial bodies. Jupiter receives the next visit on the 11th, but the difference of four degrecs in declination separating the two the tableau. Mars comes next, on the idth, but here there is a still wider separation. On the 27th the last conjunction of the month oc- curs, with Saturn, three days after the full of the moon, the separation being the same as in the case of Jupiter. During the year there will be two total eclipses of the moon, one in May and the other in November, to be seen generally in Europe, Asia and Africa, but invisible to us. Jupiter is still evening star. but he will soon lose himself in the sun's light, and when next he ap it will be as morning star, so that our chance to see the prince of plancts is a ually decreasing one, as on February 18 he has the same right ascension as the sun. He will be greatly missed, as he has so long been ich asuperb objectand so very prominent among the plancts that nothing can gt present replace him. Venus is outof the race. Mars is gettin dimmer and dimmer, and Saturn, althoug! gradually getting highcr and higher in the eastern skies, does not attempt to fill the place that Jupiter occupied. One consolation is that the diameter of the planet is at present de- creasing, but when he next greets our view he will be larger and brighter than he is now, that he is about to disappear, when we can count once more on his being “‘a lamp dispelling irk- some night.” Mars is getting so very small and his brilliant companion has’ drawn so far away fropt him that the great interest he afforded us has al- most entirely gone, and we can only distinguish him by the peculiar reddish tinge that he al- ways has. He is still an evening star and, al- though of little moment to the amateur, he is a source of theory and speculation to the scien- tists who see on his surface « network of lines connecting seu with sea, aa well as mow and ice and the still more wonderful canals. Neptune is evening star and, although in a fine position for telescopic observation, being so high in altitude when he comes to our me- ridian, to the naked eve he is not visible and one can only find him by first picking out Alde- Duran, which i no very difticnit tusk, ax he comes climbing high up in the east soon after iark and then looks about four degrees, or abont t times the width of the fall moon, to the orth and west.

The date for the meeting of the railway presi- dents to complete the organization of the new association has been changed from January 6 to January 5, and the place of meeting has also been changed from Chicago to the Windsor Hotel, in New York city. This change was made on Saturday by telegraph. It was found that quite a number of the railway presidents, some of them representing the largest lines it the country, could not conveniently attend a meeting on Junuary 6 and in Chicago. Tho best judgment of those most deeply interested is that at this meeting the new agreement will be unanimously adopted and be put in force at the earliest practicable day. acetate flat A Big Slide of Earth, A big slide occurred on Friday night on the Pacific division of the Northern Pacific rail- road at Olequa canon, near Winlock, Wash., where the Union Pacific has been grading to cross the tracks of the Norther.

ALLCOCKS POROUS PLASTERS. Endorsement by men and women of the character and standing of those who recom- mend Attcock's Porous Ptasrers is unques- tionable proof of merit. Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher writes: “go ORANGE STREET, (Brooxtyn, N. Y., February 11, 1890. “T have used ALLCOCK’s Porous PLASTERS for some years for myself and family, and, as far as able, for the many sufferers who come to us for assistance, and have found them a genuine relief for most of the aches and pains which flesh is heir to, 1 have used ALLCOCK’s Porous PLASTERS for all kinds of lameness and acute’pain, and, by frequent experiments, find that they can control many cases not noticed in your circulars. “ The above is the only testimonial I have ever given in favor of any plaster, and if my name has been used to recommend any other it is without my authority or sanction.” The Rey. Mark Guy-Pearse writes: , “«BeprorD PLace, Russgit SQUARE, Lonvox, December 10, 1888. “T think itonly right that I should tell you of how much use I find ALLcocK’s Porous PLastexs in my family and amongst those to whom I have recommended them: I find (them a very breastplate against colds and coughs.”” George Augustus Sala, on his last Australian trip, wrote as follows to the London Daily Telegraph : “1 especially have a pleasant remembrance of the ship’s doctor—a very experienced maritime medico indeed—who tended me most kindiy during a horrible spell of brovchitis and spasmodic asthma, provoked by the sea- fog which had swooped down on us just aiter we left San Francisco, But the doctor's pr scriptions, and the increasing warmth of the temperature as we neared the Tropics, and, in particular, a couple of ALLCocK’s Porous PLAsteks clapped on—one on the chest and another between the shoulder-blades—soon set me right”? Henry A. Mott, Jr., Ph.D., F.C.S., late Government chem- ist, says; “My investigation of ALicock’s Porous PLASTER shows it to contain valuable and essential ingredients not found in any other plaster, and I find it superior to and more efficient than any other plaster. Marion Harland, on pages 103 and 445 of her popular work “Common Sense for Maid, Wife and Mother,” says: ‘For the aching back—should it be slow in recovering its normal strength—an ALLCock’s Porous PLasTER is an excellent comforter, combining the sensation of the sustained pres- sure of a strong, warm hand with certain tonic qualities developed in the wearing. It should be kept over the seat of the uneasiness for several days—in obstinate cases, for per- haps a fortnight. “For pain inthe back wear an ALLCOCK’S Porous PLASTER constantly, renewing as it wearsoff. This is aninvaluable support when the weight on the small of the back becomes heavy and the aching incessant.”” Henry Thorne, Travelling Secretary of the Y. M. C.

Best} The Evening Star is the Oldest and most firmly estab- lished newspaper published in the District of Columbia, having won the high position it holds in the confi- dence of the people of Washington by forty years of faithful and unswerving regard to any other influence or com sideration whatsoever. Tue Srar is the Largest paper published in Washington, with a general equipment and printing facil- ities three-fold greater and better than those of any other Washington paper; and, having the full Day Reports of both the New York Associated Press and the United Press, supple- mented by an unequaled service of Exclusive Special Dispatches from all prominent points in America and Europe, it prints more and fresher Telegraphic News than any other Washington paper can possibly sup- ply, furnishing at the same time a greater amount and better quality of Local, Domestic and General Intelli- gence, and a Luger quantity and higher grade of Original and Selected Literary Miscellany than any paper in the District, Being delivered at the homes of regular subscribers for the trifling sum of ten cents per week, Tae Star is much the Cheapest paper published in the District, quantity and quality of contents being considered. ‘Tue Srar’s circulation in the City of Washington is more than three times larger than that of any other newspaper, and the number of its readers more than five times as many. It is therefore in that (or even greater) there is no ground for argument or doubt, even. It is the common testi- mony of the business community, and generally admitted.
