THE BUTLER CITIZEN. WILLIAM O. NEOLEY - Publisher. Thursday, Jakttahy 5, 1905. SlJt per year la Advisee, Otherwise sl-541 THE CALENDAR. r jot Saturday was the last day of the year we numbered, 1904, and with the next day, Sunday of this week, we be gan the year 1905, A. D., meaning since the birth of Jesus Christ The etril calendar of all European nations was taken from that of the Ro man* who in turn borrowed part of it from the Greeks, and like them began by dividing the year into ten months, and beginning their year in March; but tiis led to confusion, and during the raign of Numa, 425 B. C., two months, January and February were added to thfir calendar and the year made to be gin about where it does now. The however, and the lengths of the years were left to be regulated by the phases of the Moon, which caus ed the practice of adding some days to each year by order of the priests or pon tiffa, and this led to more confusion, which was ended by Caesar when he came into power by abolishing the lunar year, with intercalary days, and estab lishing one regulated entirely by the Sun. He fixed the length of the year at 865 days, with every fourth year 366. and what is called the first J ulian year bagan with Jan. Ist. 46 B. C. or the 7JBth from the foundation of Rome. Of course Caesar had the help of the astronomers and the other wise nflen of his day, and it is wonderful that they got it as close as they did, believing as they did that the Earth was a level or plain, and only knowing that the pro cession of the Sun, Moon and planets rose in the East and set in the West; but they were close observers of the motions of these, and came very near to beginning their year at the time of the Bon's lowest altitude. Fnrther north in Germany, Sweden and other countries the natives had their Festal season on or about the 25tb of December, when the Bun stopped Quiring and began rising, and when these peoples became converted to Christianity in the sth and 6th Centu ries A. D. they adopted that date for the celebration of Christ's natal day, as the exact date of that event was not and la not known. The Jnlian Calendar was not pertect or true to the Sun, and it was changed at the Council of Nice in 325 A. D. and •gain in 1582 when Pope Gregory drop ped ten days from the Calendar as it then stood, and adopted the rules which stand today. According to our astronomers the Earth passes completely around the Bun in 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds. That is tbe solar year; the civil year is what the adopted Cal endar makes it. Dividing the year into twelve months originated in the fact that the Moon completed its four phases twelve times a year; bnt the Moon completes a revo lution around tbe Earth in about 29} days, and twelve lunations means 354 days, leaving Hi odd days. The names we use for the months are almost identical with those used by tbe Roma 11s. A week of seven days is an arbitrary period, probably of Biblical origin, though it might have been suggested by tbe phases of the Moon. It was not In the Greek calendar and came late Into the Roman, bnt had been used in eiatern countries from time immemori al The English names of the days oome from the Saxons, who borrowed the week from some eastern nation or people -and substituted the names of ■ome of their own divinities, and had Ban's day, Moon's day, Tew's day, Woden's day, Thor's day, Frigas day and Baterne's day. A solar day is the interval of time be tween two consecutive returns of the centre of the Sun over tbe same merid ian, bnt on account of the inclination of the Earth to the plane of its orbit, and its unequal progressive motion around the Sun, these times are not always true to the moment, and our observato ries and therefrom our clocks are regu lated to a time called "mean time," and which is the result of computation. In civil life we divide the day into two periods of twelve hours each, be ginning at midnight; but tbe astrono mers find it more convenient to begin the day at noon, and number the hours from 1 to 24; and when they have some thing important on hands they fix their time from the transit of the fixed star agreed upon over a wire; and this they call, Siderial time. Time is a prime factor in the naviga tion of the seas, as well as in civil life. After the human race bad discovered that the World was round, revolved on Its axis and around the Sun, and was Inclined to the plane of its orbit, etc. the navigators found that they had no trouble by an altitude of the Sun at noon, and their table of declinati >ns, in finding their latitude, that is their dis tonce north or south of the equator; but they could not discover a method of finding the correct longitude, and for over a century the governments of Eu rope offered- rewards for a solution of the problem. The English govern ment's reward of SIOO,OOO for a method that would come within 30 miles of it Stood for fifty years, before a man nam ed John Harrison, who made an almost perfect watch, set it to the time of the aero meridian of their charts, (tbe Greenwich observatory) and took it to •eft with him on trial tripe, lifted it. .It is easy (if you have the proper in struments and books) to find the correct local time at sea, and the difference be tween that time and the time at tbe zero meridian of yonr chart rednced to de grees, is your longitude. Nowadays every large vessel carries several per fect watches or chronometers, each With its record of gain or loss, and tbe longitude at sea is determined within the fraction of a mile, excepting during heavy or cloudy weather; but of conrse this has nothing to do with the calen dar, which is a matter of record. Court House Changes. But few changes took place in the Cjurt House,last Monday. Clerk Christ ley took possession of his office, and retained Geo. M. Graham as bis assist ant. His sister, Miss Maude, will also be in the office with him. Mr. Graham, by general consent, was an excellent CleTk. and made many friends during bis term. District Attorney Walker is tempora rily located in the bank building. 3d floor, but the County Commissioners are thinking of fitting np the corner room of the Jail building for his office. Tbe room is at present unused and would make a very convenient office. Mr. Walker has not yet appointed a County Detective to take the place of Mr. Barnes, who may serve through the first term of Court The office pays a ysar salary, and feu, which add about a thousand more for a vigilant official, and there are a dozen appli cants for it. Mr. Henninger, the retiring District Attorney, retains his office in the Mar ' shall building. He was one of the be?t District Attorneys this county has ever had. The death of County Commissioner McClung makes a vacancy which will be ailed by the Court. Several appli cants are being urged by their friends, but there is no intimation as yet, as to who will be appointed. County Auditors Huselton, Hazlett and Deitrick broke the new year by starting in Monday on the county ac counts, and they are now putting in full days of fast and furious work upon them. _ Meeting of tlie legislature. Both branches of the Legislature met in their respective halls in the Capitol at Harrisburg, Tuesday, and organized without special incident. Senator Sproul, of Deleware county, was elected president, pro. tern, of the Senate, and Representative Walton, of Philadelphia, was elected Speaker of the House. U. S Senator Knox was nominated by the Republicans of both houses to succeed himself; a joint resolution fix ing the date of sine die adjournment for April 13, was adopted; the Gover nor's Message was read, and then both houses adjourned until Monday of next week, the 16th, in order to give the speakers time to compose the commit tees. In the Senate Frank Judd, of Beaver county, was elected cbief clerk, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Smiley, of Franklin, and this disap pointed the aspirations of Mr. P. W. Lowry, of Butler. In the House the old chief and journal clerks, Garvin and Moore were continued, and Mr. Welsh, of Union, appointed assistant. The Governor's message is something of a curiosity. He is saf9 and sane on most subjects, but has again gone daft on the "press muzzier'' question, and has a substitute for the Salus-Grady act, in which he proposes for the hang ing, drawing and quartering that he re ferred to with such historical accuracy some twenty months ago, that: Any six citizens with a grudge at a newspa per can petition the Attorney General for a procedure for its suppression. If the Attorney General is in sufficient sympathy with the purpose to discover a prima-facie case he is to file a bill in erjuity in the Court of Common Pleas of the county where the newspaper is pub lished, and upon the amount of hearing required for the abatement of a nuisance the Court, without jury trial or verdict, can order the publication suppressed. The state is to encourage such proceed ings by paying "'the costs and expenses of all such proceedings prosecuted by him." Fall of Port Arthur. During last week the Japs blew up and captured several more of the Rus sian forts around Port Arthur. To wards the latter part of the week the resistance to tbe Jap assaults became very feeble, and it became known that but eight thousand of the original gar rison of thirty-five thousand were on duty, 11,000 haying been killed or hav ing died of disease, and 15,000 being wounded or sick, tbe remainder half starved and short of ammunition. Some of the positions captured by the Japs commanded the town, and they swept it with shrapnel and shell, making it uninhabitable, even the sick and wound ed crept out of the hospitals and sought shelter in caves. Some Russian officers who escaped in a torpedo boat, during a snow-storm to Chefoo, said that the place was a "hell on earth. On Sunday night Gen. Stoessel listen ed to the pleadings of those about him and agreed to surrender. He sent word of his intention to Gen. Nogi, that night, and blew up all the vessels that yet remained afloat in the harbor. On Monday the commissioners ap pointed by eadh General met and con cluded terms, but what they were was not made public at the time. It was known, however, that Gen. Nogi had instructions from his government to 1 e generous. And thus ended the gre&test siege oi modern times, and also one of the bloodiest, as it is estimated that the Japs lost four men to one of the Rus sians, or about eighty thousand in all, during the seven months' fighting. By the terms of capitulation the men of Stoessel's army are retained as priro neri of war, while the officers are par oled and allowed to return to Russia, bat they were required to tarn over complete plans of the forts, harbors and mines. Of the 35,000 men of the original army, 11,000 were killed, 16,000 are sick or wounded, and but 8,000 remained in fighting condition. Gen. 3toessel at tributes bis surrender to lack of ammu nition and scurvy among his men. All Japan has been celebrating the victory this w«ek; while in Russia the sorrow has been mixed with admiration for the desperate defense. The garri son marched out of their forts yester day. Capturing Port Arthur has cost the Japanese about 80,000 lives and about one hundred millions of dollars. Part of the mining under the forts was done through solid rock. What will follow the fall of Port Ar thur is a matter of conjecture. The Japs will immediately repair the forti fications, mount guns, thoroughly equip and garrison the forts, remove the mines in the harbor, etc., and their possessionof it should l>e the beginning of tbe end of the war* but the Rnssian ministers at London and Washington say the war will be continued to the bitter end—wherever that is. i»othing has been heard from the Baltic fleet, of late, which is about tbe only hope left to the Russians, at present. Gen. Kuropatkic's army is being strengthened, but he hag been com plaining bitterly, of late, regarding the management of the Russian commis sary department, and says he is losing men by exposure and lack cf proper clothing and supplies, and in Russia the general dissatisfaction with the govern ment is continually showing itself. At St. Petersburg a few days ago, the (Jrar.d Duke in charge of the Navy was booted out of a theatre, for recognising an actress, arrayed in diamonds, one of the spectators jelling "those jewels were bought with monwy appropriated for the Navy." The people there stopped giving tothu Red Cross, on account of the misappro priation of the funds and material, and the Siberian railroad is said to lie clog ged. In Japan Imuut.f-e preparations fir the strengthening of Oyama's army are being made;that part of (Jew. Sfotfi'* army not needed at Port Arthur will also proiiably .go there, and Admiral Togo'* fleet is being overhauled, pre paratory to got*? to meet the Baltic squadron. An incident revealing Japanese be lief in tbe spirit life happened at Tokio, a few days ago Admiral Togo attend ed the funeral of some of his former of ficers and men, and being asked to speak, spoke to their spirits, saying. "As 1 stand before your spirits I can hardly express my feelings. Your per sonalties are fresh in my memory. Yonr corporal existence has ceased, but your passing from this world has been one of the gallant discharges of your duty, by virtue of which an enemy s fleet in this world has been completely disabled and our combined fleet holds undisputed command of the seas. I trust this will bring peace and rest to your spirits. It is my agreeable duty to avail my self of my presence in this city, whither I have been called by onr emperor, to render a report of our successes to the spirits of those who sacrificed their earthly existence in the attainment of go important a rtsult.'

Mrs Harbison had been confined to her bed but two days and during that time she never complained of her suf fering. Her many friends who called to see her were welcomed bv the warm est affction. and many of her callers ex pressed themselves as being brought nearer to their Savior by seeing how willing she was to obey God s call. She was a sufferer of that dread disease, asthma, for more than twenty years, and she has been a follower of Jesus for more than forty years. The past few years of her life she has given much time to preparing for that Home, not made by hands —Eternal iu the Heavens. Those who witnessed her death can truly say, "Blessed are they *ho die in the Lord. " Mrs. Harbison had been a useful and and active member in the home.cburcb, Sunday S hool and community. It is very hard to understand why she should be culled away just now, but we must bow in obedience and simple trust in Him who has said.

December 25, 1901 Mrs. Catharine Graham, widow of the late John Graham, Esq , aged 79 j ears and 15 days Mrs. Graham was a woman highly respected by ail our neoplo. Her gentle and amiable disposition: her mild and pleasant manners and her modest and retiring life endeared her to all who knew her. In 1845 she was married to John Graham. Esq., then a very promis ing yonng member of the Butler Bar. He died September 1860 and for 44 years therefore sho had remained his widow One son, Rev. John Graham, au Episcopalian minister, now living in Brooklyn, N. Y , and oue daughter. Miss Annie, living here, survive her. Mrs. Elizabeth Porterfield. au older sister living here, also survives her. Mrs. Graham was a daughter of James Bredin of Carlisle. Pa., and was born in that place, Dec. 9. 1825 James Bredin, was a brother of Maurice and Hon. John Bredin. former well known citizens of this place, and upon his de cease bis family came to Butler in 1841. His oldest daughter, Jane, was married to the late Henry N. Boyd, both long since deceased. Another daughter, Mary, became the wife of Rev. William White, both also deceased, but leaving respected sons and daughters ainoug us. Edward M. Bredin. Esq., deceased, was a son of said James Bredin. and leaves a family here, as wis James Bredin, Jr., who died IITO while yet a young man. Mrs. Elizabeth Porterfield is therefore the ouly surviving member of all that family. The funeral services over remains of Mrs. Graham wero held ou Tuesday, Dec. 27, and were conducted by toe Rev. Mark H. Milne, present panor of the Episcopal church of this place, to which she belonged and was a life long member. The interment was in the North Cemetery.

No very strenuous effort had been made to tlnd Tweed, but it became known at last that he was somewhere in Spanish territory. As early as Sept. 30 Nnst cartoonod the "boss" as a tiger appearing from u cave marked "Spain." Now, suddenly, cauie anoth er report—a cable-that one "Twld" (Tweed) had been identified and cap tured at Vigo, Spain, on the charge of "kidnaping two American children." This seemed a curious statement, for whatever may have been the boss' sins he had not been given to child stealing. Then came further news, and the mys tery was explained. Tweed had been identified and arrested at Vigo through the cartoon "Tweedle-dee and Tllden duin," drawn by Thomas Nast. The "street gamins"—to the Spanish office, who did not read English—were two children being forcibly abducted by the big man of the stripes and club. The printing ou the dead wall they judged to be the story of Ills crime. Perhaps they could even spell out the word "re ward" in an upper corner. Absurd us it all was, the identifica tion was flawless. Tweed, on board the steamer Franklin, came back to America to die. When hiM baggage was examined it was found that he had preserved every cartoon Nnst had drawn of him, save the few final ones published after his escape, one of which had placed him again behind prison bars. On Oct. 7 Harper's re published this picture with the story of the boss' capture. The pictorial drama was complete.—Albert Blgelow Paine in Pearson's. Burled With Hl> Horace.
