Last week it was H. Alsop Burrowe. This week it is E. Berry Wall. Hardly had the echoes of H. Alsop’s gaudy toot died in the corridors of the Fifty- ,eighth street calaboose, when E. Berry waked. an entirely new lot in some other station. '11. Alsop was simply drunk in the usual hilarious way. He was not proud and homicidal. He just wanted to make a noise, and bully waiters and otherwise excite the won- der of those highly-veneered gentle- men whose ideas of “society” culminate in Delmonico’s. His case was far from sad. E. Berry, on the contrary says the Washington Post, broke out in an ‘ entirely different way. He may have started as H. Alsop did, but that is enveloped in the impen- etrable gloom of guesswork. What we know is that‘he manifested himself in front of the Brunswick, holding care- fully by the railing and gazing into the teeth of a perfectly frightful rainstorm, with a. glassy, not to say unmeaning eye. It was a very different thing. A watchful cabby took E. Berry. aboard and drove him about for some hours in vain quest of a consignee who 'woutd receive him, and pay freight. Then, in despair of any other solution of the problem, he carried E. Berry to the police station and discharged his load. We are told that the ex-king of the dudes was not communicative—that he was not even coherent. Irreverent reporters represent him as having an- swered the sergeant with a hiccough, and as having requitted "solicitude: with stupor. Instead of emulating the flam- boyant, high-rolling,rip-staving conduct 'of H. Alsop, he presented the aspect of a meek and speechless and inert drunk, too full of thought for conversation,too limp to stand alone. These, however, are more details. What we want to know is whether the country is on the eve of a dude demon- strations—whether we are to see the once purling and pellucid chappie break ' out into foaming toughness. It would seem so, when H. Alsop Borrowc and E. Berry Wall, within a. fortnight of each other, smash the brightest record of the East Side, and make the dandies of the Whyo gang ashamed. We hope not for the sake of the dude’s constitu- ents, which are tcnder,but it looks that way, and we are henceforth vigilant. A Bureau of Publlc Health. The bill for creating a bureau of pub lic health in the Treasury Department, which has been formulated by the na- tional quarantine committee of.»the New York Academy of Medicine,‘is inf tended to confer absolute quarantine powers upon the general government, whereby it is believed all needful meas- ures forthe protection of the country. against threatened invasions of cholera or other epidemics may be better sys- tematized, greatly simplified, and kept safely free of embarrassing complica- tions or conflicts of authority. ’ The bill provides for the division of the country into nine sanitary districts, OVSr- which fifteen commissioners are to have supervision, nine of them to be appointed by the President from the respective districts and two at 'large, whose compensation is fixed at $10 per day and reasonable expenses. The other four commissioners are to be the surgeon-general of the Army, the sur- geon-general of the Navy, the super- vising surgeon-general of the Marine Hospital‘service, and a legal adviser, to be detailed by the Departmentof Justice, who shall receive no- compené‘ sation, and these four commissioners, _ with the President, are constituted an executive committee. . ' The duties of the bureau will be mainly to keep constantly advised of the sanitary conditions of domestic and foreign ports, to make all necessary regulations concerning the inspection of vessels arriving or clearing from such ports, and to take such action as may be deemed requisite in the exam- ination of suspected or infected vessels. The quarantine system mapped out by the bill is very elaborate, and covers in detail all contingencies that are likely to arise. In short, it places the whole business in the hands of the govern- ment and gives to the President power to wholly suspend immigration when- ever contagion threatens the country. The proposed legislation, however, does not interfere with the sanitary or- ganizations of the several states nor is it designed to deprive the states of any rights or functions they now exercise, excepting that it institutes a general supervision of the public health, which would be impossible to local authori- ties. The bill provides for conferences with the various state boards and also directs the Commissioners to co-opcr- ate with such boards in the enforce ment of their local health laws or in strengthening such local quarantine regulations as may be found inadequate in the event of a grave emergency. There is carried with the measure an appropriation of $1,000,000, to. which there can be no valid objection, inas- much as the objects' sought to be ac- complished are for the general good, and it would be unfair to burden the seaboard states or cities alone with the entire expense. »—-<+>————-————— TERSlE TALES or lHE nMEs.

' he report of the chief of police was read and ordered on file. Mr. C. B. Coolidge was present and asked for an abatement of the tax of Mrs. Martha. Marvin. He explained that the only source of revenue She had was a life interest in a store on Main street, which at her death would revert to the Baptist society, and for which she received but 3150 rent. The tax was abated on the ground of poverty. Mr. Coolidge complained that the refuse from West avenue had been dumped upon Leonard street and asked that the practice be stopped and that the refuse be cartechrom Off the street. Messrs. Powell and Henry, residents of the same street,made like complaint, the former asserting that the same thing was done last year, and the latter said the stench from the refuse recently carted on the street was rank. Burgess Glover thought the carting of the “stuff” on to that street was sim. ply outrageous, and that it ought to be removed. ' Street inspector Curtis explained that but fourteen loads of the scrappings had been carted on to the street. It was ordered removed immediately and that no more be placed on the street. Warden Sloan called attention to the poor condition of Leonard street and said that it ought to be placed in thor- ough repair. - Burgess McMullen said: “It has been stated that I have as a member of this Court objected to the employment of certain men on the borough work. I have never made any such objection and don’t like it. The man who makes any such accusation is a ‘blamed liar." ” He was assured by each member of the Court that they had. heard of no such accusations. Mr. C. B. Coolidge asked if any pro- gress had been made in the matter of a sewer being constructed on Spring Hill street. He stated that since petition- ing for the sewer he had sold his house on that street, but was still of the opin- ion that the sewer ought to be built and asked that some action be taken. It was stated that the original peti- tion had been referred to the chairman of the committee on sewers, he to con- sult with the borough attorney as to the legality of calling a “city” or “bor- ough' meeting to take action in the matter. The matter of draining the highway at a point near the electric light station was left in the hands of the highway committee and city engineer with power. The petition of Mrs. Jonathan Camp to have the fence line near her resi- dence. straightened, was referred to chairman of the highway committee,he to investigate and report. It was stated that Mrs. .‘Camp was willing to give the land required for. said improvement. The court then adjourned until Mon- day evening, Nev. 20th, at 8 o’clock. Snarin': Partridges.

Mean- while the insurance company itself has lev1ed two extra assessments of $2 each, or $4 apiece. on its thousands of mem- bers.

The people are also called upon to vote on an amendment to the constitution rela— tive to the payment of mileage to mem- bers of the general court. The proposed amendment provides that so much of arti- cle two of section three of chapter one as reads: ,“The expense of traveling to the general assembly, and returning home, once in every seesion, and no more, shall be paid by the government out of the pub. lic treasury to every member who shall attend as reasonably as he can ' in the judgment of the house and who does not ‘ depart without leave,” is hereby annulled. Bostoncitizens also vote on the accept- ance of chapter 473 of the acts of 1393, entitled “an act relating to the election of members of the board of aldermen in the city of Boston.” This act, if accepted, will insure a mi- nority representation of five members in a board of twelve alderman. Boston will also decide whether or not “an act to provide for rapid transit in Bos- ton aud vicinity” shall go into effect. It , is generally considered that the necessary cost of the transit scheme provided for in this act has secured its defeat. There are five state tickets in the field republican, democratic, prohibition, popu- list and socialist labor.

Ferocious Panther in the . Wilde of India. A remarkable exhibition of “nerve’. in shooting was given by Col. Night? ingale, a. famous Sportsman of India. He had got a. running shot at a. tiger from the back of his elephant, hitting him in the shoulder. The beast rushed away and made for some bushes one hundred and fifty yards off, whence a man emerged. The tiger rushed at him and struck him down.. Tiger and .man were in a confused heap on the ground. At the risk of hitting the man, the colonel fired, and heard the ball strike a bone. ‘ The tiger, with a. roar, rolled off the man, and plunged into a. ravine. The colonel’s conical bullet had carried off the lower jaw and fangs of the brute. N 0. other shot would have saved the man, but without a. jaw the tiger could not seize him. The man, who was deaf , and moving about the jungle, had only been scratched by the tiger’s claws. The tiger was sought. He was wait- ing to be found, for as soon as he saw the elephant on the edge of the ravine he charged furiously. A ball through his neck rolled him over and down the ravine. The elephant was pushed for- ward, and up the slope the furious . tiger rushed. A ball in the chest killed him. He was an enormous animal, measur- ing four feet three inches at the shoul- der, and the length of the skin was twelve feet eight inches. The Beginning of the Year. " The countries and nations of the world, with a few exceptions, begin the year with January 1, but that this system is arbitrary and based upon nothing in particular does not even need to be proved. \ The ancient Egyptians, Chaldeans, Persians, Syri- ans, Phoenicians and Carthagenians each began their year with the au- tumnal equinox or about September 22. Among the Greeks the beginning of the year was at. the time of the Winter solstice down to 432 B. 0., when the “Menton cycle” was introduced, after which the new year began on June 22. In England from the time of the four- ‘ :eenth century until 1752 the legal and ecclesiastical year began on March 25. A Pleasant Cure.

Won the feller got bit, he took plenty of whisky, the remedy in such cases made and pervidcd. An’ in course it cured him. But the cure was so pleasant that he kep’ on takin’ it, until now he has died of tremens. You jest b’lieve me, a snake bite’s a. bad thing. No matter what you do it’s apt to git in its work.” J TO the COmmissioners of Fairfield. 0011 my _ The undersigned hereby a p11es_ for a. license to sell Sprituous and ntox1cating liquors. pursuant to the laws of the State now In force relating to. the sale of _1nt meeting liquors at the building No. 35 Builroad Place, 1.. the Town of N_orwa k, In said county.
