his own namo. According to law a
majority of the property owners in the
block must endorse an application for
a saloon license before it can be grant
ed. Mr. Morton owns a big chunk of
the block, and John It. Lane, of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, owns the corner
on Fifteenth and I streets. One or
two other owners also endorsed Mr.
Morton’s application, but not a major
ity of the block, and in consequence
the commissioner refused to approve
Mr. Morton’s application. In making
his application, Mr. Morton declared
that he would not allow any noisy, dis
orderly or suspicious characters to
congregate in his saloon; that ho had
not sold liquor to any minor, drunk
ard, soldier, volunteer, gaffibler, etc.',
during tho past year.
The law says that the. approval of
the application for license to sell li
quors must piecedo the opening of
places where such are sold. Mr.Mor-
ton’s application for a saloon license
has not yet been approved, but bis
saloon is running at full blast.
Says a dispatch from Helena, Ark:
A recent experiment made by a gen
tleman of this city has demonstrated
that tho growers of cotton have kith-
to wasted a very valuable and impor
tant part of tho cotton plant. Major
John J. Horner, thinking that there
could be some use made of tho cotton
stalk, gathered about ten pounds of
tho material and sent it to a factory
in New York to be operated on in tho
same manner os flax and hemp. A
few days ago he received from there
the results of his experiment, which,
if the material can be extracted
cheaply, will result in incalculable
good to the cotton growing states.
There were returned to him about
twenty different grades of fibrous
material, from course strands of the
stalk to the glossy fibre as soft ns silk.
Persons ore now engaged in perfect
ing a machine that will spin the ma
terial. There is no doubt but that !
the fihre of the stalk is sufficiently
strong to make tho best of bagging,
as well as cloth as fine as linen. This 1
material was extricated from the stalk
by an electrical procoss in about six
hours.

The congregation of the Mulberry i

plan of erecting a handsome church
building on the hill qqar tho Wes

vicinity and near Vineville, and *

Respectfully,
The “Year of Confusion.”
Tho year 46 B. C., was tho “Year
of Confusion.” In order to adjust
tho yenr according to the course of
tho sun, and to assign to each month
the number of days, it should contain,
Julius Ctcsnr abolished the use of the
“intercalations,” or days which wero
occasionally inserted in tho calendar
at that time. To make everything
proceed regularly from the 1st of the
ensuing January, he inserted iq the
current year, besides the intercalary
month of twenty-threo days, which
fell into it, two extraordinary months
between November and December,
the one Of thirty three and the other
of forty-four days, so that this year
consisted of fifteen months, or 445
days. It may bo here noted that
some historians consider 47 B. C., to
have beon the “Year of Confusion. 1 '
Where the Day Begins.
According to the way in which this
arrangement is now carried out,
says a writer in Chamber's Journal,
the first land that the new day dawns
upon, is eastcr island, about 230 miles
west of the coast of Chili, South Amer
ica. That Is to say, the and of July
breaks here within a few houre of the
1st, having broken on the American
coast to the east, and the two days
run on alongside—the and in Easter
Island and places west, the 1st in all
places on the American continent. We
inky, therefore, realize this idea ; that
at 7: ao o’clock any morning of our
lives in Great Britiao, the next day is
commencing in the world, and is to
be found at this little island on the
Pacific ocean, whence, in due course,
it will travel around to us. But to have
thus the start of the world is not an
mitigated advantage to these island-
ders. Suppose one of them sails east
to America, what is the result? He
will find that they keep the day there
under a different date, and he will have
to reckon one day in his calendar
twice over to put himselt right with
their notions. On the other hand, if
and American crosses from east to
west this wonderful magic line where
the day begins, he will find that the
dates in this fresh part of the world
are on the advance of him, and he
must needs strike a day out of bis
calendar to keep up with the times.
This fact was curiously illustrated in
the case of Magellan, the Portugese
captain who sailed around the world
from east to west in 152a, and having
Ancient History.
Judas died in the horrors of a loath
some suicide; Caiphas was deposed
the year following; Herod died in in
famy and exile. Stripped of his pro.
curatorship very shortly afterwards on
the very charges he had tried by a
wicked concession to avoid, Pilate,
wearied out by misfortunes, died in
suicide and banishment, leaving be
hind him an execrated name. The
house of Annas was destroyed a gen
eration later by an infuriated mob,
and his son was dragged through the
streets, and scourged and beaten, to
his place of murder. Some ol those
who shared in aod witnessed the
sceucs of that day, and thousands of
their children, also shared in and
witnessed the long horrors of that
siege of Jerusalem, which stands un
paralleled in history for its unuttera
ble fearfullness.
The Philadelphia health authori
ties have about decided to establish a
crematory in which to burn the bodies
of the city poor. It may be better to
burn than to bury them—in all prob
ability is—but we predlot that the
said authorities will find themselves
in trouble when they attempt to car-
ry their plans into operation. There
is a deep seated prejudice againBt
cremation, and there will be plenty
of people who will want to know why
the poor are burned while the rich
are buried.

Combination of Change for a
Quarter.
Some one has taken the time and
trouble to figure out the various com-
binadons of coins that might be used
in changing a quarter, and places
them at a 15. The pieces used in
making the changes are the ao-cent
piece, 10-cent piece, s-cent piece, 3-
cent piece, a-cent piece, and i-cent
piece. To be able to make all the
changes would require one ao-cent
piece, two 10-cent pieces, five 5-cert
pieces, eight 3-cent pieces, twelve a-
cent pieces, and twenty-five x-cent
pieces, making in all fifty-three pieces
of money, representing $1.38.
132 BROAD ST.
There j? a man In South Carolina
who has been engaged for two years
or more, in tests for manufacturing
cotton bagging from the bark of the
cotton stalk, and it is believed' that
his efforts will prove successful. We
have seen a sample of the fibre that
had been prepared for the loom, and
it was believed to be equal to jute in
every particular, and it is claimed
that all the bagging necessary to en
close the crop can readily be obtained
at a cost not exceeding 6 cents per
;;ard. A syndicate is now being
crossed the magic line of “day’s birth,”

sai’ors were perfectly ignorant of this,
and, finding on landing at home, that
their Sabbath was falling on a Mon
day, they accused one an other of
tampering with the reckoning. It was
not for some time that the true and
simple explanation foir the wonderful
