Tildsn lias been in the Court* for three years past, and now one clause of it nas been set aside as not being in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The will was well enough, and doubtless right enough, as both Attorneys and Judges have been disputing over it for three years before they came to the present conclusion, and another set of Judges might have given a different opinion. Such laws as keep men thus in the dark as to their meaning, and prevent JO able a mail as Tlldeu from doing as lie desired with his own money, are not commendable. THE real causes of the change which the elections show are not obscure. They are eve t more to be found in what may be called the recent character and tone of the party than in the public judgment of the policy which it lias adopted. Willi Foraker as its representative leader it. Ohio, Piatt in New York, Quay in Penn sylvania, Dudley in Indiana, Clarksoti in lowa, Malione in Virginia, it is not sur prising that it has lost much of the kind of ascendancy which it once enjoyed.

The latter, however, kept cool, and politely stated that there was no intention of commissioning Clay ton till his predecessor's term hud expired.

If< I{ro Ycitt rrtav in Company Willi Countable Wultirn. As stated in Saturday morning's paper Charles Carter was held in Harrisburg. Constable Waters, of Johnstown, went to that city, and yesterday evening re turned with the prisoner. Carter was lodged in the Conutnaugh borough lock up. The principal witnesses in the case, the Robertses and the two girls who re cently served their Ave days, are also in the "coop," so that they will be on hand this morning at the hearing before' Squire McKee. The revolver with which Carter did the shooting was obtained, he claims, from W. H. Cooper, the principal wit ness. Carter had been in the Harrisburg lock up for ten ilays, and bad been released Thursday morning, but he returned to the jail about noon to look for the letter containing the $5 li> was to receive trout Cooper. In the meantime the officers had been notified by Constable Waters that he was wanted here. Carter was then taken up and held till the Constable ar rived.

SrleiiUltc Ainerlcnii. When men bt-ytiti lirst to become fnuiil iar with the methods tf measuring me chanical power, tbev otien speculate <>' where the breed of horses is to be found which can keep at work raising 33,000 pounds one foot per minute, or the equivalent, which is familiar to men ac customed to pile driving by horse power, of raising 330 pounds 100 feet per miuute. Since 33.000 pounds raised one foot per minute is called one horse power, it is natural for people to think that the en gineers WHO established that unit of measurement based it on the actual work performed by horses. But that was not the ease. The horse power unit was es tablished oy Jame Watt about a ceutury ago, and tbe figures were settled in a curious way. Watt in his usual ca'eful maiiuer, proceeded to flud out tne average work which the horses of his district could perform, and nc lound tiiat the raising of 22,000 pounds one foot per miuute wus about an actual horse power. At this time he was employed in tlie manufacture of engines, and had almost a monopoly of the engine-building trade. Customers were so hard to tind that all kinds of arlirieiul encouragements were considered necessary to induce power users to buy steam engines. As a method of encouraging business. Watt offered to sell engines reckoning 38,000 foot pounds to a horse power, or one-third mere than the actual. And thus, says the Afanv facturn' OatftU, what was intended as a temporary expedient to promote business lias been the means of giving a false unit of'a very important measurement to the world.

Recently the State Board of Health, through Dr. W. E. Matthews, turued over to Johnstown borough all the disin fectants and the street sprinklers owned by the State here. The value of them is about $ 1,000, and they will be the prop erty of the Boaid of Health to be organ ized when the new city takes hold of its affairs. The operations of the State Board of Health here, during the weeks following the Hood, are well remembered That they did much for this community is certain. In fact, it was only through the energy of the Board of Health that Die State could do anything to help the community, ex cepting by using the State Military to ksep order. The Board made its report a few days ago. Among other things done, a new district, with Dr. W. E. Matthews us inspector, lias been created of Indiana, Cambria, aud Clearfield counties. Concerning the works of the Board iu general the Philadelphia Times sttys ' No intelligent, public-spirited citizen can read the anaual report of the Secre tary f the State Board of Health, which hut just been published, without be iug with impressed wisdom of the legislation creating that body. Its excellent work iu the appli cation of preventive measures de signed to ward off the outbreak of dangerous epidemics after the June floods aud the effectiveness f the efforts to control and circumscribe the ravages of typhoid, diphtheria and small-pox in the few localities in Die Stale in which these diseases assumed epidemic forms during the past year, furnish all the argu ment necessary for the existence of the Bouid and the extension of its powers. The report very properly calls particu lar attention to tin- limited powers of the Board under existing laws. In view of this discouraging fact, the wonder is that any real, effective work in the interest of the public health was accomplished at all. The work of the pust year, however, touching as it did the public iu all parts of the State, lias been highly educational. The necessity of some intelligently art ministered legal restraint upon the pollu tion of streams, the adulteration of food, and the existence of nuisauces prejudicial to the health of the community has been demonstrated as never before. No pains should be spared during the eoming year to further educate public sentiment in this direction. The legisla tion cb'mui.ded will further no private ends, and for that reusou will lack the advocacy of those powerful influences that conttol legislation for selfish pur poses. If the necessary legislation is se cured to make the Hoard a real power for the piotectton of the public health it must be because an irresistible public sentiment demands it. Thul sentiment can be created only by demonstrating to the public the inadequacy of existing laws. AtftroMomU-ul Atom*.

THEY KICK AGAINST ItEFOIOI. Senators Quuy and Cameron Object to I'ostuiastar Fied's Policy. Philadelphia Special in New York world. There is a row a brewing between Post master-General Wanamaker and the 'wo Pennsylvania Senators wliicli threatens to be the political sensation of the winter. The trouble is all over Postmaster Field in this city, who proposed to run the office in defiance of the political friends of Quay and Cameron. Quay yielded as gracefully as possible to Wanamaker's selection of Field, who is att ultra re former, and wbo, iu the recent Committee of One Hundred tight, denounced Quay. It was hoped by Quay that Field couid be induced to modify his civil service stand and to help " the hoys " in at the back gate quietly. But recent events have convinaed the benator that Field means to ignore the politicians and to manage the poslofflce in his and Wana maker's own way. This has led the two Seuators to give it out that they propose to hang up Field's appointment in the Senute, and, if he will not yield to their wishes, to have him rejected. The friends of Quay and Cameron are openly boasting that Field will not be confirmed aud that a new Postoilico deal will be forced upon Wamunaker. The frie . s of Field say that they doubt the accuracy of the statements in regard to Quay's attitude, but they add that the new Postmaster will not give in a point that be proposes to run to the office in bl own way on business principles, and be doesn't care whether lie is confirmed or not. Mr. Field refuses to talk, but a close personal friend suid to-night tluit Quay and Cameron would find that Who auiaker could anil would 1U lit us hard us they could, and tlmt any attempt to de feat Field's confirmation would precipi tate a tight with'Wauumakcr, who would be supported by the President. The alt.iii lias created a decided sensation in Pennsylvania polities. A friend of bena tor Quay suid to night: •' The boys don't think thai Quay 1 can afford to lei Field inii the Poglofiicc ami keep all the Democrats in placed there by Jlar rity ; yet that is wliul we are afraid he will do, as it is asserted that civil serviae be strictly construed, aud. although this might rcsu't iu many of the present em ployes being turned out, most of luem would remain. If that is to be done Quay is bound to tight Field to ksep up his prestige hi the rank and tile of tlic party. Should there lie a tight in the Senate against Field's confirmation Cam eron can control some Democratic Sena tors and the the tangle between Hampton ami Wanamuker will help iu that direc tion. I think the fight will come. UKIIfUi COATS IN TUli RAIN. Klglit Jnlinstown Youths One Ahead In JCr traordinary Thing*. Young America is bound to be ahead. There is no stopping him.

What x Difference Ifctrotlial Mukfn in Ifcr Manner. London Truth. Have you ever noticed what u differ ence there is in a girl's maimer when she gets engaged to be married '< She flirts us much as ever, of course, and even a lit tle n ore, for it serins as though a semi appropriated damsel has inure charms for the male flirts than those whose hearts have not capitulated. The difference lies in the manner to other girls of the engag ed one. Even tl.e gentlest and nicest assume slight uirs of superiority,as though the problem of settlement in life having been settled fot them, they were m w competent to guide and advise all other young women. If the flauce be young and handsome, they are generally too much absorbed in him to pay much attention to any one else ; but if he be middle-aged and very rich they find abundance of leisure to place at the disposal of their friends. This they employ principally in discuss ing their •own prospects, settling what color their liveries shall be and in ar ranging the various details of their estab lishment. But a little egotism is pardon able at such a time, and they are seldom so wholly occupied with their own con cerns as to forget to quietly patronize their girl friends. " You must marry well, Lucy. You shall come and stay with me, and we will see what can be done." Or, " .Mary, you must give up young Brown. He will not be able to give you a carnage for years and years, if ever. I shall have dark tun-colored liveries, picked out with crimsou," etc. Then, if anything occurs to backoff the engagement, and the girl sinks back into the ranks of the unengaged, her position is all the more disagreeable if she has put on a lot of style during her betrothal. But, perhaps, the girl who is lavishly in love with her. fiance is the greatest bore of all. r d JOHNSTOWN AS SHE IS. How an Artiftt Thinks wo Look, and he Picturer* UH Accordingly.
