The letter reaelied the hanils of Dr. Nlles. lint II was not answered ly hlin. Nn reply ivhiitover eame from the pliysleliin, mid when the imiyor had not heaid fioni him up t the hour -peeilled in the loniiiiiinli'iition, 7 o'clock Monday evening, he dictated n letter to council, select council, ask- ItiK that lmdy to concur In his action, If need lie, In the removal of Or. Nlles ft out the olllce of the hoard of health. Select council met Monday nlKht, but , adjourned without transacting any business. The communication, there fore, which was in the keeping of City f'lerk Moon didn't reach counells. In this way llic matter was kept from the knowledge of tlio public until yester day, when II leaked out and was n fertile topic of discussion in every quarter of the town. The action of Mayor Ivllpatriek, while it Kavi; n fresh Interest In the wide discussion of Or. Nlles' act, was not wholly unexpected. In fact it was foreshadowed as early as last week, when the mayor's ollice was visited by scores nl' citizens whose protests against the retention in ollice of Dr. Nlles jjrew Into a clamor that Mayor Kllpatrick was forced to heed, though, as he expressed himself, ho was reluct ant to take the unpleasant steps which duty seemed to point out to him. ll was hard for the mayor to escapu the conclusion that the removal of Dr. Niles was the only means of appeasing the citizens whose display of wrath was witnessed so often in the mayor's odiee, and yielding to public opinion ami to the call ot duty. Mayor Kllpat rick indicted the letter that demanded the stepping down and out of Dr. Niles. The mayor bused bis action on the act of 'sn, under which this city is gov erned, and which provides for the re moval of the president of the board of health, when II would bo shown that tfiat oflicer transfossod the law or was guilty of misdemeanor in ollice, Mayor Kllpatrick, in analyzing the situation, found that Dr. Niles offend ed against the rules of the local board of health by receiving the cadaver from Philadelphia without a permit, and likewise by sending the body out of the city to the dedicating works bolow Scritntnu, without a permit. -Furthermore, the state law was violat ed when Dr. Nlles failed to give the (Ussceted body of the woman decent burial, as required by net of assembly. These infractions of the law, coupled wjth tlio earnest and vigorous protests and forceful demands of fully n hun dred citizens of the town, constituted KUIlloiont reason, in Mayor Kllpat rtck's mind, for tlio removal of w. Nlles. The letter was accordingly pent, hut up to last might It was un heeded by Ur. Niles, from whom the mayor heard nothing whatsoever. The eommunleutlon which the mayor sent to council asking that bodv to sustain Ids action, is yet In tlio posses sion of City Clerk Moon, and unless there is a change of circumstances, tlio etter will be presented to council at its meeting of tonight. What Dr. Niles Says. Or. Niles was seen at his home, on South Main street, last night by The Tribune representative, with reference to tlm demand for his resignation that Mayor MlpatrJck made In his letter of Monday night.

In discussing the subject, he spoke, with the eonlldenco of one who was well Informed tut the stand ho took and felt that the course ho chose was the right one. "There will "be no resignation foilh umilng," shltl Dr. Nlles, quite posi tively, i - 7IU "The position taken by Hie mnyor Is, In my opinion, an absurd one, both as to tho law and the position of the peo ple! that Is, so far as I am Informed, and 1 believe that I have kept In touch with the general feeling.. So far as I can conceive, t have violated no' law. I do not care to go Into a discussion of the case, but us u matter of fact theio has been no violation of the law, nor no dlsiejrnrd of the rules of tho t'ar bondale board of health. The bodv which was received from the state an atomical board at Philadelphia Is not to he roq-arded as a corpse. In the sense that the hoard or health of this city Would consider. It was a body a hotly, remember received for dissecting pur posps, tin., same as Is received by physi cians In Scranton and other cities, and It might, be disposed of by means of cremation, us it Is done in every In stance In fWatitou, and there would be no necessity for n permit from tlio liuaid of health, nor would It be neces sary to Inform th.tt body as to what disposition might be made of the body since It was shown to he regularly icctilved for iirsseetlng purposes save that permission might be wanted to In ter it, then the requisite burial permit would have to be obtained. The posi tion of the mayor Is, therefore, an ab surd one." concluded Dr. Miles, "and you can say that there will he no les igpntlon, and Hint on this point I have leci'ivod advice that I am Justified In the position I have taken." Dr. Niles added thai he shrunk from the newspaper notoriety thai the i use has given him, and that he honestly believed that he frankly explained his action .when lie declared It was a re gretahh; error of judgment on his part. EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. Merchants Demand Clerks' Associa tion to Enforce the Movement. Kver since the eaily store closing movement went into effect , murinur !ngs have been heard from some of the merchants that there were stores In the city that foiled to observe the recommendation to .shut up shop at ii:!!0 eiich evening, and that Roods were disposed of In these places long after this hour. These complaints grew louder ami louder, until a climax was readied on Monday evening, when the Merchants' association, in regular session, took up these complaints and after the warm est kind of debate decided to call on the clerks to enforce a general closing or the stores of the city. When the merchants agreed to close at f'.:"(i, it was with the understanding and uu- uer ine agreement that the clerks would sec to It that there would be (l general observance of the agreement. This has not followed, however, and now the merchants look to the clerks to lulllll their part of the agreement. The clerks met last night and de cided on measures that will bring about a general observance or the early closing movement, thus preserv ing the relations between the two as sociationsthe clerks' and the mer chants'.

ONE OHANGE TREE. From It the Agricultural Department Established Orange Industry. K10111 the Washington Star. There Is an orange tree at the Agri cultural Department which, tradition hays, has piodttcod revenue sulllclcnt to meet all tlio expenses of the depart ment for the last thirty years, its history Is interesting. About iSTO an American woman told .Mr. Saunders, tho expert of pomology fop tho depart ment, that she had enjoyed the most delicious oranges while in the vicinity of tho city of Hahla. Hruy.ll, and ho be lieved he would do well to procure some of I ho budded fruit as an ex periment in this county. The Secretary of Agilcultiue re fiuested our Consul at that point tn bond him twelvo buddod trees. They came in duo time, unci wre in turn budded on small seeding.- for distribu tion. There Is ono great tree lhail survived, and, whllo they did not thrlvo in Florida, they did on the Pa cific coast, and today the navel or Pahia orange, the father of that In dustry In California, owes its exlsteiuo to the slnglo tree now standing Iu'ilps glass house In tlm Agricultural grounds. Of the eior of about 20,000 carload for 1001 at least 15.U0O of them wero or the navel variety, while the revenue varies from W.OOO.poo to J.l.ono.cna a year. The statement of this fact, a single lien litu Ing produced rufHolent icvcnuo to .sustain the department for 11 period of thirty yeais, never fails to awo the tourist, and causes hlni to beg for a single loaf from tho wonderful money tree. ABOUT SEA DUST, Strange Phenomenon to Be Met with on the Ocean. ITiotii London Aiiv.ich. A dusty ocean highway sounds nl. most Incredltable. Yet those who aro familiar with sailing ships know that If the decks uro not swept at nightfall an enormous quantity of dust will quickly collect. Of course, on a modern liner, the burning of hundreds of Ions of coal every twenty-four hours would' ue-. count for a. considerable accumulation of dust; but on a sailing tdilp, manned with a doi-en hands, or less, no such dtist.prodtit.ing ngeticles are at work. And yet falling ships collect ttioto sea dttst than slenmors, which Is probably accounted for by the fact that, while tho dtist-laikit smoke blows clear nt the steamer, the largo areit of canvass spreod by the sailer nets as 11 dust col Ice lor. The captain of merchant sailing ship (lint has Just reached port states that twenty-four and a half barrets of fine dust were swept from the docks dur ing a. ninety. .seven days' vovage. Whoio did It coiuo finm? HOW, CHINESE USE THE MAILS. Interpreters Aro Employed to Give tlio' Directions. finm the Sew Y01I1 .lniitn.it, Many prisons have asked the quos tlno, "How Is the Chinese mall hand led In the New York poslolllco?" It la a question that has excited considera ble discussion tit different times, and ono which everybody should under stand. It Is generally supposed, how over, that a Chinese Interpreter Is em ployed In the postodlce expiessly to handle tho Chinese mall. Put that hi not the case, the government never having found It a necessity to employ such a person, ' As a matter of fad, the mttunnr descn't vary from that employed In handling domestic malls, but there Is a point connected with It before we get the mall which may li" Interesting. It appears that when :i Chinaman wishes to send a letter to his native country he must employ the services of an Interpreter unless he can write Kngllsh himself, lie writes, seals and dlicets the envelope in his own language, lie thn goes to a Chinese Interpreter, who writes the address In lingllsh on another part of the en velope. The letter Is thru ready for the mall For this service the foe Is a uonilnn! one. Tile letter then goes through the New York postoillce and then takes a journey aeros.5 the country to San Francisco. A China bound steamon then conveys It across the ocean to Its destination, wheic, uftorgolng through the Chinese postoillce. it Is delivered lo I he porso.11 to whom addressed. . The incoming malls are handlcl very nili'.ii Hie same way. An inter preter in the Chinese pestofllco wiltei tho address In Hngllsh on all mails directed to this country. When the lettir reoohes 111.'' postofilee hole the ekiks never pay any attention to the name, and not one time In ten thous and do they know whether the letter is lor a liitnaman or somebody else. They look only for the jtiel at I number. The mail is sorted and lh"ti di llveret'. by the earlier, so what seems a vi ry complicated process is Indeed a very simple one, causing no inronvlence whatever to our postoillce offclals.
