The celebration appeals to sentiments which are deeply rooted in the hearts of tne people, and will, therefore, remain forever as one of the solemn ceremonies of our National life. Bome coldfish placed in an ornamental pond near Buffalo managed to escaps a few years ago, and it is now said their de- scendants are swarming in Niagara River in great numbers. Fortunately they do not seem to be.doing any harm like some other noveities introduced into the coun- try, and’the people along the river are watching their development with a great deal of interest. One of the sweli clubs of Chicago re- cently entertained itself by chasing a greased_ pig, and the new amusement is pronouncea to be livelier than golf and safer than football.” It has aiso a future before it. From pigs to bulls is but a step ih the line of development of Chicago packere, and her aristocracy may as the next move revive the bull-fight with a greased bull as a hovelty. While most of the States have finished therr legislation for the year, sent their Taw-mskers liome,- and have returned to orderly business - with cheerful minds, Illingis 1s stili.struggling with her Legis- lature, and Chicago, is holding mass-meet- ings to insist on decent legisiation; so, with: the reputation of Chicago to con- sideron the one side and that of the Legi lat: re on the othes, the average Illinofs man doesn’t know which way to look for business; and cheerfulness is not in him.

AN EXCELLENT CHOIOE. The appointment of Hon. J. J. de Haven to succeed Hon. W. . Morrow as Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California iz another demonstration of the wisdom | which is characteristic of the cfficial acts The choice In ap- of President this insiance will plauded. The merits of Judge de Haven are known and appreciated from one end of the Siate to the other and beyond its borders. Strict inteerity has marked his public career as a distinguishing quality, and no breath of suspicion of any en- tanglement with the forces of wealth bas ever been cast upon his reputation. Reared from early childhood in Cali- fornia, eaucated in her schools, pcs- sessing the sturdy sirength of West- ern manhood, his splendid talents have made him prominent among the leading juristsof the West, He has served his BState in Senate and Assembly and in the halls of Congress, and won the highest encomiums on the Supreme bench of the S:ate, where the clear- ness and force of Lis opinions earned the commendation of the bar, and where he was held in the highest esteem by his fel- low-jurists. He is a firm, feartes:, rigidly upright man, learned in his profession, and enjoys the full confidence of the peo- State.

The Federai worried over Secret Service officials are the contiiued increase in circulation of counterfeit baif-dollars, whi however, coniain as much e the genuine article, to which they bear a remarkable resemblance. It is estimated that nesr'y 2 000,000 of these bogus half-doliar pieces are now passing through the channels of trade in this country. Only an expert caa detect their no the half-dollars of e Government and the bosus pieces. Even banks handle the latier freeiy in the course of busines The scheme is as clever as it is dangerou-, and two years of patient search on the part of ths detec- tives of the Government bas failed to re- veal thie operating grourd of the counter- feiters. THE CALL was the first publication to direct popular attention to this wholesale introduction of spurious coin into the country’s traffic. The Government is be- ousness, and tradespeople m tion betiween ing robbed of its profits of coinage and the | counterfeiters are making & mintof money out of their work. bullion i. required to makea helf-dollar, and as the cost of manufactur- ing the coin would be, at the outside limit, 4 cents, a profit of at least 20 cents is realized by the minter on every half- dollar placed in circulation. It is only when the counterfeit ha!l- dollars 1all into the sub-treasury thatan | opportunity is afforded the Government to destroy them, but as only about $18 in those haives is received per month there the work of cancellation doesn’t cut a figure of great immediate importance. Lvery effor: 13 being made to run the counierfeiters down, and all thus far to no | avail. Itisa hard problem, verily, for, on account of the excellent imitation, the bogus coin caily passes from hand to hand till, whan the secret service men get hold of i1, tiey find it impossible to trace it back to its source. OUR GRATEFUL MILLIONS. The deep and widespread interest mani- fested in the celebration of Memorial day makes evident the fact that the spirit of the day is not dying out, even though the ranksof the veterans are being rapidiy thinoed year by year. It seems tiat as time glides by the more the glory of the results achieved by The miilions who were little children or who were vet unborn when the guns of the great conflict were booming along Potomac’s tide will continue to render tribute to Columbia’s brave and loyal defenders even when the Iast of those wno participated in the war | of the rebellion has been mustered in the immortal army above. The companies of school children con- [ stituted « happy feature of the Decora- tion day procession. The beauty and solemnity of the occasion must ieave its impresson those young minds. Laden with the most precious history of the Nation are the lessons of such a time, and these the practice of | children will transmit tne sacred story of | the day and its hallowed memories to gen- erations yet 10 come. The unveiling of monuments in honor of tne patriotdead is another evidence of the country’s earnest, unceasing devo- tion. Wnen massy piles of marble and granite rise in honor of those champions of the Republic whose bones were b ent in the red burial of the battlefield, it is a sign, as one of the orators of Memorial day observed, that ‘‘the crown of bright- est glory and the diadem most re- splendent will bs placed upon the brow | of the common soldier and sailor who died in obscurity, an unknown sacrifice to their country’s honor.”” The masses of the Nation will take pe- | culiar pride in such monuments, and it is a kind of pride that our country can afford to cuitivate. A GOOD MARKET REOPENED, The South Carolina dispensary law has received its deathblow through a decision of the United States Circuit Court. This attempt to completely monopolize the Iguor traffic of a State was a unique and remarkable experiment, if nothing more. It created discussion and has veen viewed with .much interest all over the Unifed States. It closei up all the grogshops of South Carolina and created dispensaries where pure liquor was sold according to State reguiation. The State purchased its liquors in the open market, and only through the agency ot the State could liquors be sold. Thelaw went 3o far as to restrict the importation of liquor in orig- inal packages ‘“‘for personal use or sale of such original packages within this State for use in the State.” This was the fatal flaw in the bill, and the case in which the decision was rendered declaring such re- strictions unconstitutional was brought by a Californian in relerence to a seizure ot California wine shipped to Charleston, 8. C., in original packages. He contended that he had a right to bring liquors into the State, establ! warehouses and seil from such establishments original pack- ages for personal use. In its decision the court declared the right ‘of the State to prevent the manu- Tacture or sale of liquor Wwithin its borders and to exercise police powers, bui main- tained that when the State recognized and approved such manufacture and sale of liquor as a beverage by engaging in it for profil it precluded the idea that such sale is considered injurious to public weliare. It was not the lawful exercise of police power to forb d the importation of such liquors or their sale in original packages for personal use and consumption, as such prohibition under the circumstances was Only 24 cents’ worta | on appreciate more and | in conflict with the Jaws of interstate and foreign commerce. The State recognized liquor as & bev- erage; and while seeking a monopoly in supplying such liquors, it could not con- stitutionally forbia or hinder commerce in such liquor between its citizens and those of other Stat As a result of thedecision the California dealer may deliver his wines in original packages, and this means considerable to the wine-makers of this State. The South Carolinfans, when it comes 1o a question of good wines or liguors, have the reputa- | tion of knowing a good thing when they sec it, and the reopening of that market for our superior California product will be exceedingly satisfactory to the many who are identified with one of our most prom- ising industries. THE FUTURE SOHOOLHOUSE. A suggestion made by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler of New York in a recent address that public schoalhouses ought to be made the centers of the intelleciual life of the neighborhood, has been cordially commended by the press of that city, and it is probable it will be carried out to some extent during the coming summer. This | is the beginning of another phase in the evolution in the American schoolhouse and tends to increase its usefulness and widen its scope of service to the com- munity. | Dr. Builer's idea is that, as school- | | houses belong to the public, the people should be permitted to use them for ail prrposes whica are mot political or re- ligious, so far as such use does not inter- | fere with the conduct of the schools. The | dea 1s not altogether novel, as several | school buildings In New York have been opened during past summer vacations to a society which provides instruction and | enterta ity, but tue new movement would go be- ond this simple beginning by opening the schoolrooms and lecture halls for all rary, aristic, scienti or debating | societies which are at all public in their ature and wouid not do injury to the | buiiaing. It will be seen that this movement, carried to its full extent, would make the | neighborhood schoolhouse something of a | civic center. a general gathering place for | all who sought any kind of intellectusl occupation. It would be a place where lectures, concerts, debates, recitations and tudies of all kinds would foliow one an- other evening after evening from the be- | ginning to the close of the week. In short, | each schoolhouse would be a Little univer- sity settlement, and woul! include in the scope of iis service to the ¢ mmaunity everything which tends to tne diffusion of knowledee and the increase of culture. Oa all sides we see evidences of this widening of the use of the schoolhouse. As the church has begun to develop an in- stitutional church in which arrangements are made for many services not included in theology or a strict definition of re- ligion, so the schoolhouse has been grow- | ing beyond its original objec: of provid- ing a place where children are taught reading, writing and arithmetic. In our age the period of study does not end wiih childhood. Men and women sre continu- | ally reaching out after new truihs and | new ideas of old truthe. A demand for room for aduit education bas grown up, | and Chautsuqua circles, university exten- sion clubs, civic centers and university settlements have come forward to meet | the requirement. Where are these various classes of stu- dents to meet? In what edifices of our cities are rooms ana hails for their needs to be provided? The new institutional | church is wide, but it is still too narrow for such exvansive claims as the growing cuiture of oar peuple puts forward. Wiil the public schoolhouse provide it? or are | we to establish & new insiitution amonx us and erect in our cities somethinz like | | the gyrnasia of ancient Rome and Atu- ens, where al. people can gather to recre- aie themselves, to exercise, to listen to music, to hear and to tell something new every day? | NEN ANU .

THE FATE OF THE SCORCHER. Medical authorities predict a terrible physi- cal fate for .the bicycle scorcher, says the Westminster Gszette. The aemon of the cinder path lays himself open to an awful combination of disesses, the effect of which, when fully developed, may be judged by the atove sketch. Bieycle eyes, bicycle wrists and feet, and a bicycle spine united in the person of a scorcher will rapidly destroy the symmetry of the finest physique. Itisto Dbe hoped that these effects will not prove to be hereditary, or it will be bad for the next gen- eration, THE O'EIGGINS, CHILE’'S NEW CRUISER.

TWO HALE OU.i0GENERIANS Gath in Philadelphis Times. Two fine, straight, white-heired, clean- shaven men, each over 8ix je:t high, stood near the Ariingion Hotel but yesterday, talking. Iwent up and said: “Not to congratulate such youth would be like scorning these green trees in May. How old ere you, Colonei James?” “Elghty.” | “And you, Colonel Berrett?” “Eighty-three,” i The first gentleman, Charles James, was Lin- ICn\u' Collector of the Port of san Fraucisco | and second of Anson Buriingame in his mooted | | duel with Preston 3. Brooks. The second per- | son was James Berrett, Meyor of Washington | before the war, and intimaie friend of William | L Marcy.

Shortridge I of iree speech and a free press, on the trial of Frederick Marriott, accused of libeling J. C: B. Hebbard, The case was one of intense local interest in | San Francisco, but the principles- involved concern the press and the people of this en- tire country. Hebbard was a Supsrior Judge in San Francisco and a candidate for. re- election. He had been aceused of complicity with the wreckers of the Pacific Bank, and the accusa- tions were such that, if irue, he was utterly unfit for the bench. During the campaign the swinaled stock- holders of the defunct bank issued a circular | letter, setting forth Hebbard as they viewed it. This circular was published in the News Letter as an advertisewent, and the paper also contained editorial comment based ihereon. The d-fense of Judge Hebbard was u. libel suit brought some time after. the publication, but tried this month. The trial dealt more with the merits and truth of ageinst Judge Hebbard than with the libelous vublication, and the verdict of ‘‘not guiliy” by the jury is considered o be_more of an ‘ar- | reignment of Judge Hebbard than a-vindica- tion of Mr. Marriott, the publisher.of the News Letter. Incidentally, the rights and relations of the press were made the subject of investigation und argument, and Mr. Shortridge deserves the bouquets with which he has been showered by the press.

A man who will admit that he is sentimental has no more of it about him than a frog. The average woman goes 10 her grave re- membering what girl gave her the cheapest wedding present she got. A girl’s idea of a lovely married couple is one that aiways gives a party on the anni- versary of the day they first met. When a girl who has pretty feet ifes down In a hammock she always goes to lots of trouble to cover them up—and doesn’t. You can never tell how a girl looks at the breakfast table by the way she looks when she sits out on the porch in the evening. | NEEDED NUTHING BUI WINGS The Chicago Tribune tells this story of the Mississippi floods: An old darky was met by one of the relie! expeditions. Uncle Eph was ffor dugout, which he was having considerable trouole to keep afloat. He was busy paddltg with one hand and bailing out his craft with the other, when the relief boat came within hailing distance.of him. It wason the outskirts of & village to- ward which the old_man was evidently tryi to make his way, when the capiain of the re- Ifef boat called to him “Hello. there, uncie!

Lots of men are lambs in woli’s clothing. Women are probably called angels because they wear things that rustie like wings. Married people get along the first year on the novelly of the thing; after that it be- comes habit. The man who boasts oftenest that he has never told & lie probably makes his wife be- lieve that he has the greatest regard for her mother.
