WOBLD’B PRINCIPAL CITIES.

equate—Facts and Figures of Gon
eral Interest.
From the Chicago Herald.
Though we live in an age of cities few
persons have much knowledge of them ex
cept their names. This is especially true of
the cities of the old world. Our state de
partment has just published a volume of
reports prepared by our consuls, which not
only gives the building regulations of many
foreign cities, but presents the facilities
,sev possess for extinguishing fires. Some
of this information relating to the more im
portant cities of Europe and Asia is nere
given. The city of V ienna has 800,000 peo
ple snd 13,841 buildings. These structures
are almost wholly of stone and brick, there
being only 1,200 1-story frame houses,
mostly gardeners’ lodges. During the year
1891 there was no case where a fire ex
tended beyond the building in which it
originated. The city has only five steam
fire engines, but has many hand engines.
The water supply is ample and electrio
alarms numerous. A reward of 2 florins
goes to the person first sending in an alarm.
The city of Antwerp covers 3,500 acres
and has a population of 250,000. Had
Chicago as many persons to the acre as
Antwerp its population would exceed 8,000,-
000. In the old portions of the city the
buildings are tbiok together and have stood
for 200 or 300 years. The oity has three
steam fire engines and two steamboats, with
pumps for dock and river use. The Are de
partment employs less than 100 men. In
lgyo there were 585 alarms, though the total
loss by fire was only $55,000.
The buildings of the oity of Brussels are
all of stone and brick, and its present pop
ulation is 500,000. Its fire department con
sists of 168 men, 4 steam fire engines, 9 hand
engines, 13 wator wagons, for in some por
tions of the oity it is necessary to carry
water in wagons to a fire. During the year,
1890 no flre9 extended beyond the property '
where they originated. The daily con
sumption of water in Brussels is only
twenty-seven gallons for each person of the
population, or less than one-fourth of the
per capita consumption of water in Chicago.
Copenhagen in 1890 bad a population of
312,859, and its buildings are almost en
tirely of stone and brick; the older portions
of the city contain a few frame structures.
In 1890 only 262 fires were reported, and all
were unimportant. The oity has a compul
sory insurance plan, so that all houses are
insured. Two hundred and fifty-seven of
the fires in 1890 were confined wholly to the
fiats in which they originated. The mil
nary forces stationed in the city turn out
and assist the firemen.
IN FRENCH CITIES.
The buildings of Marseilles are almost
wholly of stone, the small number of
wooden structures not belug noticeable.
The population is now 400,000. In 1890 the
city had only two steam fire engines, but
had plenty of band engines and carts.
Among the fire apparatus we find 249 leather
buckets and 874 linen buckets. The sal
aries of firemen here do not compare favor
ably with those in Chicago. The fire mar
shal gets S6OO a year; first lieutenants, $440;
Dcond lieutenant), $360; sergeants, >2 lO,
atid forty first-class firemen get S2OO, and
sixty-seven second-olass men get $195 a
year.
Paris, the second city of the world, has an
area of 19,280 acros and apopulation in 1890
of 2,424,705 and the suburbs contain nearly
as many more. Most of the buildings of
Paris are made of hewn stone or of rough
stone oovered with plaster, or of brick. A
few workshops and sheds alone are built of
lumber. Were Chicago ascompaotly built
as Paris and its population equally dense, it
would have 14,480,000 people. The city has
200 public telephone fire alarms and as many
more private ones. The fire department is
commanded by an officer who has the rank
of colonel, and under him are fifty-one of
ficers and 1,693 men. The water supply is
excellent, and in many cases the pressure is
strong enough to throw water upon a burn
ing building by simply coupling hoso to
hydrants. Paris has ail modern appliances
for handling fires. In 1890 the department
was called upon to extinguish 580 fires, and
344 of them were put out with water pails.
SMALL LOSSES.
In 1890 the city of Dresden had a popula
tion of 207,014 and 9,000 soldiers in bar-
I acks. Tho houses are wholly of stone and
brick. Apartment houses from two to live
stories high with stone stairways are nu
merous. In 1890 there were 325 fires, with
a loss of only $50,000. Firemen receive
from #250 to #4OO a year. Of the causes of
tires in 1390 we find fifty-nine of them at
tributed to carelessness with fire and light,
thirty-five to upsetting lamps and candies,
twenty-six to throwing away cigars aud
matches and fourteen to children playing
with matches. Steam fire engines had not
been adopted here in IH9O, and the cost of
the fire department that year was #51.013.
Toe city of Hamburg, with a population
of 80,000 in 1890, covered 18,268 acres, or
had 29,480 persunsto the square mile. The
city has eleven steam fire engines, eight
steamboat tire engines, many baud engines
and an abundance of fire apparatus. In ad
dition to the regular force there is a largo
volunteer department. The buildings of
Hamburg ere of stone and brick.
Florence, in 1890, had a population of
180,000, or 68 persons to the acre, The city
has no wooden buildings. During 1890
there were 158 fires, and they wore all con
fined to the floors ou which they originated.
’Die fire department consists of 115 mon,
and has two steam fire engines and plenty
of hand apparatus. Firemen are required
h. v the municipality to be present at ail
While theatrioai performances and at offi
cial funerals.
Home in 1890 had a population of 430,000,
toe area of the city limits being 3,883
*cic H The buildings of Home are all stone
,Q d brick. The fire department is a mili
tary body as regards discipline, though de
pendent entirely upon the municipal au
thority. It numbers 50.1 , men, and the
Wa ßca paid first-class men amount to #8 63
P*‘ r mouth, and second-class riien receive
DB2 per month. The salary ot the fire
f arshftl is $965 per year. Eieotncal appur
,tUß is in use for alarms, but in 1890 the
had only one steam fite engino, aud
'hat ;s used so little and is so Heldom
brought out that upou a recent call it took
t" h urs to have it ready to throw water.

Ift NORTHERN’ EUROPE.
Moscow has 750,000 people, and wood is
“<ea hero for building far more extensively
can in the cities of western Europe. The
Moscow fire brigade is an old organization,
originating soon after the great confiagra
loii of 1812. The service is now voluntary,
tit subject to military discipline, and is in
cr Dora ted with the police force and subor
awale to the chief of police. The depart
ment contains 1,400 men, 450 norses, 106

pumps, 48 casks for carry ins: water,
20 carts with automatic and 12 with hand
ladders, .3 fire escapes and 3 steam fire en
gines. All the vehicles are provided with
sledge runners for winter use. The water
supply is abundant from the street mains,
and the rivers and canals crossing the city
are inexhaustible sources of water supply.
The city of Gothenburg, Sweden, had in
1891 106,000 people and 3.535 buildings, of
which 2,438 were of wood. Of the 85 fires
in 1890 57 were confined to the buildings of
their origin, while 40 of these fires occurred
in brick and stone structures, and tfie in
surance loss cn all was only SIS,(XX). The
fire department numbers 70 men with 3
steam fire engines, 13 baud engines, to
gether with fire escapes and all other
needed apparatus.
The city of Constantinople, with 1,000,000
of people, is far behind the cities of Western
Europe in means for fire protection. Most
of the buildings in Stambonl are wooden,
while those at Pera and Galata are of stone
and brick. No fire alarms exist here as we
understand them. There is a cannon station
on a mountain on the Bosporus and shots are
fired when a fire is discovered. Signals, too,
are at once put up on the two towers in
Stamboul and Galata, being red balls dur
ing the day and lanterns at night, and fire
runners are dispatched from these towers
to notify the fire brigades. There were 571
wooden building burned in 1891. The
marvel is that the oitv escapes desolating
conflagrations. Aside from the regular fire
brigades there are many volunteer and
private organizations.
BRITISH FIRE LADDIES.
The city of Dublin in 1891 had a popula
tion of 254,709, covered 8,808 acres and had
25,980 stone and brick buildings. During
1890 the total loss by fires was only about
$50,000. The water pressure in Dublin is
sufficient to enable firemen to get water
upon burning buildings by merely coupling
hose to street hydrants.
In 1890 the city of Glasgow oovered 6,111
acres, but in November, 1891, the area had
increased to 11,861 acres, with a population
of 656,185. In that year 504 fires occurred,
with a loss of over half a million of dollars.
The oity has no wooden buildings. AH the
fires were prevented from extending be
yond adjoining property. The tire depart-.
ment is not numerically large, but is very
efficient and is well provided with steam
fire engines and a good fire alarm syste m
The water pressure, too, upon the water
mains in some parts of the city is 109
pounds to the square inch. In all muni
cipal matters Glasgow is looked upon as a
model city.
The city of Edinburgh, including Leith,
has a population of about 350,000 and oov
ers 7,338 acres. The oity is built almost
wholly of stone, there being only a few
brick buildings and no wooden ones. The
stone used is a giuy sandstone, abundant in
the regions. A fire seldom gets beyond the
building where it originates. From a table
giving the years of service of firemen wo
find that one has been in the service thirty
six years, one thirty years, one thirty-nine
years, one twenty-six years, one thirty-fonr
years, two thirty-two years and one twenty
years.
In 1891 the population of the oity of Liv
erpool was 517,951 and oovors 5,300 aores.
Its buildings ere all of stone and brick.
Five steam fire engines were in use and
eight baud engines, and there were 256 men
on the regular force. Five hundred and
seveuty-eight fires occurred in 1890, 28 of
them from lighted candles, 87 from lights
thrown down, 23 from children playing
with matches, 30 from smoking tobacco, 23
from children playing with fire and 30 from
sparks from fire. Firemen in Liverpool
have the title of “constable" and have cer
tain police authority.
London’s department.
The great city of London had within its
corporation limits in 189 1 4,231,431 persous
and 2,000,000 in territory immediately con
tiguous; 557,134 is given as the number of
brick and stone buildings in 1891, and the
city has no wooden buildings. The number
of fire alarms given in 1891 was 4,164, of
which 1,089 were false alarms, 243 ohlmuey
alarms and 2,892 actual fires; 2,699 of these
fires were confined to the floors where they
originated, and 184 extended beyond such
floors, only six fires extending to adjoining
property and only three extending beyond
adjoining property. The X.ondon fire de
partment consists of forty-seven land
steam fire engines, ninety-five land manual
fire engines, nine steam fire engines on
barges, eight steam tugs, 104 horse
carts, thirty-six raiies of hose, with ladders,
trucks, fire escapes and an abund
ance of alarms, telegraphs, telephones, etc.,
to render the servioe of ite 706 liremen very
efficient. Nineteen million gallons of water
were used during the year at fires, one-third
of whioh was taken from the river, canals
and docks. The causes of fires are curious;
Fifty-nine came from airing linen, 150 from
candles, 39 from children playing with fire,
and 62 from their playing with matches;
61 were caused by swinging gas brackets,
69 from escape of gas, 87 from curtains or
blinds coming in contact with lights; 104
originated from hot ashes, 290 from spirit
lamps (206 of them being from upsetting
suoh lamps) ; 100 catne from sparks of fire
and 38 from Improperly set stoves.
ON THIS SIDE OP THE WATER.
The city of Halifax, .Nova Hcotia, with
only 40,000 people, has a volunteer .fire de
partment of 325 men, nearly half as many
as in the great city of London. It has four
steam fire engines, and nine-tenths of its
buildings arc wooden. Ottawa, which is
larger than Halifax, has only oDe steam fire
engine, aud Quebec, with twice its popula
tion, has two steam fire engines and a paid
fire department consisting of a marshal and
fifty men.
The town of Acapulco, Mexico, has a
population of 5,000: the building are all of
adobe brick. The plaoa hasn’t even means
of riving a fire alarm; no fire iusurauoe of
any kind is carried there, and there is no
fire department of any sort and no water
supply for fire purposes. Durango, with
35,000 people, had three fires in 1800, with
small loss. The city has no fire department
and no water for fire purposes. The place
is built almost entirely of unburned brick,
though a few dwellings are of stone.
In Buenos Ayres, Argentine, with 600,-
000 population, the houses are almost en
tirely of brick and stoue, there being not
more then 1,000 frame structures. The city
has a paid fire department of nearly 200
men, and, being tho capital of the republio,
the firemen are paid by the state. The city
has three good steam fire engines, with all
necessary apparatus.
The city of Havana lu 1890 had 218,000
people, and oovers only 2,027 aores, making
nearly 70,000 persona to the square mile.
Except in China, so dense a population is
rarely -ecu. The 18,000 bouses of the city
are built of limestone, brick being used to a
very limited extent. Fires are of rare oc
currence, there being only fifty-five during
the year 1890, of which fifteen only had to
be extinguished by firemen. One hundred
and fifty men are assigned to fire duty
Ol ßeyrout, Syria, has a population of 100,-
000, the buildings all being of stone aud
brick. The town has 133 persons to the
acre of area. There is no fire department,
and Ores are not common. In case a fire
breaks out the whole dependence for help
rests upon chance volunteers.
The old city of Jerusalem has 45,000 peo
ple, and its buildings are all of stone. There
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MARCH 13, 1893.
was only one fire in the year 1891. There
is really no water system here, and when a
fire starts the Turkish soldiers take axes
and march out as if they were going to a
parade. Thev never run to a parade. They
have at their barracks for use in the citv
one tub holding about half a barrel and a
small pump with about twenty feet of
leather pipe. But this apparatus i9 never
used, as they never have any water. When
the soldiers reach a fire they smash up
everything they can with their axes. As
the garrison it changed every year, it is
orot able that not one of these soldiers in a
hundred ever saw a fire. A photographer’s
shop burned in 1891 and soldiers stood within
forty feet of it and did not oven give an
alarm.
In 1891 Bombay had 821,764 inhabitants
and oovered 14,246 acres. Most of the build
ings are frame, depending upon timber
framework for their stability, the spaces In
this frame- work being filled up with
masonry, mostly brick work. No houses
having their external walls of pl&nks or
other inflammable materials are permitted.
There are 33,393 buildings in the city and
an average of 21 persons to a building. The
city has 7 steam fire engines, with many
hand fire engines, and a (>ald department of
150 men. The number of fires in 1890 was
only 55, and in 1891, 58. In 1891 the con
sumption of oity water was only 19 gallons
a day for each person of population, about
one-sixth the average for Chicago.
The oity of Hong-Kong has nearly 250-
000 people, 11,000 of them being British, but
that element dominates, aud has given the
town the best of wator works and a first
class fire department, with steam fire en
gines for both land ami water service. The
work of building the aqueducts, tunnels
and reservoirs for the Hong-Kong water
supply was simply prodigious.
The city of Bangkok, Siam, with 600,000
people, has no system of public water sup
ply, no law regulating buildings, no insur
ance on buildings. In the walled portion of
the city no fires occur, the buildings all
being of brick and cement. Outside these
walls the houses are of brick aud bamboo,
one-story high, and many are floating
houses upon the canal.
The cities of Australia have pretty much
all that is modern in the way of fire ap
paratus. The houses are almost entirely
built of stone and brick and roofed with
slating or iron. Melbourne has 1100 firemen,
four steam fire engines, with band engines,
flftv-flve stations and 71,000 feet of hose.
CHANTED ON DEATH ROCK
AN INDIAN MURDERER EXECUTED
AFTER AN OLD CUSTOM.
It Was a Holiday for the Tribe and
the Doomed Redman Sang in a Ring
ing Voice Until the Bullets Silenced
Him Forever—Burled With a War
rior's Honors—A Scene That Could
Be Enacted Only by Savages
A special to the New York World, giving
details of the execution of the Indian mur
derer Loririg, at Caddo, I. TANARUS., reported in
the Morning News dlspatohes, illustrates
the faot that the Indians are still savages,
despite the “refining influences" of the
government's Indian agents.
On Jan. 30 Loring murdered aa old
woman named Cavette, aged 80 years. She
was reputed to have money, and Loring
killed her while trying to steal her hidden
wealth. Loring was arrested and tried in the
oircuit court, and sentenced on Feb. 20 to be
shot on March 10. In compliance with the
decree of the court Loring was guarded by
a detachment of the Choctaw Light Horse
company until the morning he was
taken to the place of execution. Just as the
first streak of dawn appeared Loring was
awakened from his sleep and taken to the
inclosure which surrounds the council cham
ber. This inolosure is in the form of a
stockade, about 15 feet high, aud is a strong
prison of itself.
The entrance is through a massive gate
which is strong enough t ) resist the attack
of a regiment. About fifteen feet from the
eastern side of the Inclosure is a square rock
half sunk into the ground. This is the
famous and historic death rock. This stone
is flat topped, and is sunk into the ground
until Its top is two feet above the surface.
Here all the executions of tho tribe have
taken place In the last thirty years.
The Choctaws are greatly enlightened,
but the form of execution is one of the
relics of barbarism that has been retained,
and, while the court proceedings are ac
cording to the latest forms of jurisprudence,
the executions must take place according to
the long-established forms and ceremonies
of the tribe. The murderers in the tribe
must be executed by the family of the mur
dered person. The death penalty has been
exacted many times and the blood of many
victims has assisted the sun and rain m
staining the brown rock around which a
queer and motley group assembled.
Within the inolosure were 6ke relatives of
tho murdered woman and also those of her
slayer. The tribal council and the Light
Horse Guard, with but a few visitors, com
pleted the number that were allowed within
the inolosure. The death rock is so situated
that the sun does not strike it until about 11
o’clock in the morning, and, according to
the law of the tribe, the execution cannot
take place “until the sun has kissed the
rock.”
It was while waiting for this time to ar
rive that a scene that could be duplicated in
no other portion of the globe took place. It
was fate that die, and the
savage was so strong in him that ho was
ready to die and make no sign that he felt
the penalty. There was no fear in him,
for be knew that his time had come and he
would go.
Just as day broke this morning the sound
of a drum aroused the inhabitants of the
village and called together the members of
the Light Horse company. It was the
death signal. With the dying away of the
sound men, women and children came from
the huts and houses, and the village was
alive with the preparations for a holiday.
Breakfast was hurriedly eaten, and then
every one went toward the inolosure.
Neither the dead woman nor the mau who
was to suffer the penalty had relatives in
the villages, and from the surrounding
country came those who wore to be the
principal actors in the tragedy. As the sun
rose there came from the woods, along the
creek that runs north of the village, those
who had camped there over night, ready to
be on band at the earliest possible oppor
tunity in the morning.
Loring had been k-pt under guard in tho
council chamber, and at the beating of the
drum was given his last breakfast He ate
heartily and marched between two fileß of
the Light Guard into the inolosure. Here
had already assembled those who were to
witness the closing scene. The condemned
man was loosened from tho bonds that had
been placed about his arms, and was per
mitted to mingle freely among his friends
and relatives. To all appearances he was
as free as any one in tbatfiuclosure. He
pasted from group to group, and cnatted
and laughed as if be had no thought of
death. He talked as if be were going on a
long journey, and laughingly hade his
friends farewell. The whole soene was
that of a pleasure party, and to one who
did not know of the meaning of the gather
ing, it would have appeared as a holiday
assembly.
All morning the merriment (continued,
while the sun slowly crept toward the death
rook. This was the only place in the iu
olosure that we shunned by the crowd.
Finally tbe fatal hour drew near and then
a silence came over the Assembled people.
The relatives of the murdered woman drew
away to themselves and selected those who
were to fire tbe shots that would end the
blood feud between the two families. This
was soon decided and then the doomed man
walked to the death reck. As be proceeded
be began singing in a low tone a peculiar
monotonous song. Louder and louded it
came until the sound could be heard far be
yond tbe inclosure. Those on tbe outside
knew that the hour of death was near, for
they beard tbe death song of tbe Choctaws
as it had been sung in all the ages of the
tribe since its beginning.
Calmly seating himself on the stained
rock. Loriug continued his song as two
members of the Light Horse bound his arms
and feet and bandaged his eves. Not a sign
indicated that he feared the end. As the
six tuen stepped forward from the ranks of
the relatives of the dead womati and ad
vanced to the plaoe where they would fire
tbe fatal shots the song of tbe do uned mau
swelled forth in increased volume. The
rhythm of the chant was in unison with the
ringing of the steel of the locks of the guns,
and then tbe men took their staud, ten
paces in front of the condemned. The song
continued, and then there mingled with it a
rour as ttie six guns belohed forth their
loads at a signal from tho captain of the
Light Horse. Tho song was stilled, and the
body of Elias Loriug pitched heavily for
ward and lay quivering on the ground at
the edge of the death rock.
The work was well done, and with the
death of the murderer was wiped out all
the stain, and the body was treated witb
the consideration due a deod member of the
tribe. The whole tribe joined in paying a
tribute of respect to the dead mail and he
was buried with the honors that would
have been accorded him had he died in bat
tle. The decree of the court had wiped out
all blood feud between the tvr families aud
oil were united over the dead murderer.
THE WHISKERS AND THE MAN.
How the Hair on Hie Face Dominates
the Wearer’a Character.
From the Detroit Free Press.
"Among the men I meot at intervals on
the road is a very intelligent fellow from
Boston," said a drummer. “He is about S5,
aud with a capacity of raising hair on his
faoe beyond that of any person I ever met.
He has tun with it, too, and he has whisk
ers iti different shape every time I meet
him. Now and then I don’t know him, but
he always comes up smiling, aud I oatoh on
to the new man without much difficulty.
“It’s queer about whiskers,” said he the
last time I saw him. "Don’t you know they
change tbe character of tbe mailt”
“I didn't know it. and said so.
“They do, however," he continued,
“whether you know it or not. Now, I have
been hairy for twenty year- nearly, and in
that time 1 have been all sorts of men. For
instance, when I wear large, flowing side
whiskers with a mustache, 1 grow gradually
as they do, aud becomo quite dignified and
self-important. I oan’t help it, you know.
Its whiskers oblige, as we say iu French,
and w hen 1 catch a look at myself in a
glass as I walk along I unconsciously swell
out and strut. I’m bound to do it to match
those whiskers. Then when I out off the
mustache and run the eidewhiskers aiono 1
never see that month and chin back there
but that it makes me feel pious, and I begin
to assume the demeanor of a minister of the
gospel. Cau’t help it, either, to save my
life. Sometimes 1 go smooth-faced, and
my character oscillates between priest and
actor, according to the one of tho crowd I’m
in. 1 evou get boyiuh sometimes and frisky
when I see my smooth, round faoe.
"Onoe, for the fun of it, I out my mus
tache ala prize-fighter, short and stubby,
and, do you know, before a week 1 was a
veritable tough, with roy hat cocked over
my eye and my general manner provoking
a slugging uiatoh at every turn. 1 was
anxious for a fight all tho time, and ouly
saved myself by shaving. When I wear a
lull, neatly trimmed beard I feel exactly
like a bunker or a sucaessful professional
man, and my manners after a little while
fell into that rut. I look it,they toll me, and
I can’t help Dut be jt. If 1 wear a mustache
alone, long and silky, I feei like a gay
Lothario, and want to smile at and ogle
every woman I see. I want to be one of the
boys, too. and whoop it up all along the
line. When I add au irapeial to the mus
tache I throw my shoulders back, brace
my muscles, aud assume a military air. Iu
one or two of my towns I am known as
colonel, for I have always were my imperial
while there. ■'
“If I run my beard down to a 'point in
the Frenoh style, I feel quite diplomatio,
and can be as slick at the politest of them.
I feel my shoulders shrug on the slightest
provocation, and to ail inteuts and purposes
lam a foreigner. It i part my whiskers in
the middle and brush them out to the other
side, I am a German nobleman or a British
land owner, according to my surroundings.
It gives me a hale and hearty, middle-aged
feeling chat shows at once in my manner.
If the whiskers are let grow very long I feel
like a patriarchal farmer and become quite
elderly and iunocent iu my deportiueut.
And so it goes through all the phases.
"I fancy that the style ofa man’s whiskers
Is in consonance with the man's character,
and that os r man is so will his whiskers be.'
In my case I have reversed the operation,
but I feel as I grow older and become more
settled that 1 shall adopt one style of whis
kers aud stick to that. Even now I am
getting around to it and have boon wearing
this close-out full beard for almost six
months, and I don’t feel like changing it.’’

Lewis Hall, a farmer, was shot at Bartsville,
Montgomery county, Tennessee, recently, but it
is evident he was not born to be killed. He has
survived more accident: in his eventful career
than would kill a dozen ordinary men. He was
once shot through the body with a rillo hall, has
had both arms and both legs brok-u In a run
away. was blown away in a tornadO. was terri
bly cut up with a Itnifo In a gambling scrape,
and only last year during a row received a blow
from an ax which broke out a pieooof his skull.
Last of all, he was shot through tho mouth and
jaw with a shotgun a few days ago. Just before
the operation of removlugthe shattered jaw
bone began a preacher wanted to pray with
Hall, hut he was told his services were not
needed.

How Gresham Took the Oath.
From the Chicago yaws Record.
Judge Gresham repaired to the state de
partment about o’clock. The oftlQlals hod
not expected him, and there was aonslder
ablo agitation over hit informal arrival.
Official red tape is vary abundant in the
state department, and tue swearing in of a
uew secretory is usually attended with all
manner of ostentatious formality. It was
expected that nudge Gresham would keep
up Che record. The oiHcials had got ready
to receive him to-morrow morning. They
intended to assemble all the heads of bu
reaus, assistant secretaries and high officers.
Thou a venerable Bible was to be produced,
and a department relic, who has a record of
“Bwearing in twelve secretaries,” was to ad
minister the oath.
But Judge Gresham made short work of
all this programme. He walked into the
secretary’s office recently vacated by Mr.
Foster and temporarily occupied by Acting
Kecretary Wharton. Assistant Secretary
Adee happened to be near and dropped in.
But there was uo time for assembling the
heads of bureaus and bringing forth the
venerable Bible and the venerable swear-in.
“O, any notary public will do to admin
ister the oath of office,” said Judge
Gresham. “He is just as well qualified as
any other officer.”
Col. Crook, one of the white house execu
tive staff, who happened to be present, was
a notary public, so the ceremoriv proceeded
without any further formality. Judge
Gresham raised bis right baud and repeated
the oath after the notary.
A Missionary.—Hennessey—Poor Doo is
a terrible drunkard. Pepper—Yes; and
yet he has done a great deal
of good in the world. Hennessey—How/
Pepper—Almost every time he gets drunk
he swears off with someone, and now and
than one of the fellows he swears off with
keeps his pledge.— Jhick.
Old Gravely— lf you do not caie to be my
wife, perhaps the prospect of being a rich
young widow might tempt you.
Minnie'eagerly)—O, Mr Gravely! If I wer
only sure I could trust you '.—Detroit Free
Frees.
