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.

urbanity. 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'. THE MILITARY BALL.

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.
