:" / am poor man, but I'll be honest II

woman, regarding him with suspicion.

vene unless the Presidential term expire:
on the Sd Of March following the vacancy.
Thus il will be seen that the temporary
occupant OF the Chief Magistracy could
NOT hold the place beyond one year IN any

question will arise, If special Presiden-
tai election shall ever be called, whether
the person chosen al such election would
he entitled 10 serve four years or merely
the unexpired term OF the vacancy, as the
Law seems TO be somewhat vague In its
terms in this regard.
II is the custom Of the Senate TO elect q
President pro tan. at the beginning OF
each Congress, and this officer serves
throughout the session. AT the special
session Of the Senate last spring Senator
Ferry. of Michigan, was chosen To that
position, and in case of President Grants
death he would succeed 10 the Presidency.
n Senator Ferry should die before Con
gress meets there would be no Speaker OF
the House to take the seat, and the Senate
would have the right to elect another Pres
ideut pyo tam, who would then become
President. The Speaker of the House
would become President il both Gen.
Grant and Mr.. Ferry should die after
Speaker Is elected. But there Is still
another circumstance that might cut some
figure in the case. Though it is the Gus
tom TO continue the President Of the SEN
ate In Office throughout the term OF Con-
gress in which he is elected, the Senate 10
a permanent body, and may elect its Off
GERS whenever 1t chooses. All IL needs to
do Is 10 pass a resolution that II will pro-
coed on certain day to elect a Secretary,
or President pro ten, or other officer Of
its own. This is the way 1t has OF dis
missing its officers. There is, therefore,
nothing TO prevent the Senate from elect
ing another President pr0 TEN. when it
convenes next month, il itsees fit to do SO.
If such action is takep, the person sue
ceeding Mr.. Ferry in that position would
become President upon Cen. Grants
death during his term and until success
sor should be chosen by the people in the
manner and form prescribed by law

While the artist prepared for the work
Julie redisposed her crimps and worked
her face up into gorgeous smile.
"All readyl let us seat you here,

long and an inch wide In the thickest part,

van formed in solid column under com.
mand of Serg. Shore and undertook to
drive the animal into stable. Somehow
ii appeared there was mistake about The
party that was to do the driving. At all
events, the officers didn't drive the COW.
Finally she started on tour OF the neigh
borhood, rushing at everyone that hap
pened in the way. At Thirteenth and
Biddle she gored Capt Bischoff's horse.
Then she knocked down a couple Oh men
and passed on down to Twelfth street.
where red shirt worn by one George
Weaver caught her eye. She went for the
shirt, and Weaver ran La the saloon on the
southwest corner. The COW followed and
Weaver had only time to scrabble in be
hind the bar when the beast came slap Up
against it,. He lay ON the floor and she
couldn't get al him, so she commenced to
paw up the floor and switch her narrative
and toss chairs out the window. While
this was going on the police, who had raj
lied in force, fired volley of pistol balls
into the saloon The old COW just began
q get mad at this assault. She turned her
attention to the peelers, and in just two sec
onds the chase passed down Biddle street
and Weaver crawled out from behind the
bar At Eleventh street the old cow tackled
car of the Bellefontaine line, but failing
to produce an impression she just ripped
open one of the mules and passed on. The
mule died shortly afterward. The animal
was chased up to Mound street and then,
turning back, was finally brought 10 bay
at Ninth and O'Fallon streets. A butcher
named Morris Mccarthy took an ak and,
jumping into wagon, drove up beside
her Watching his chance, he gave her
the edge of the AK between the eyes,
splitting her skull wide open. The result
was peace and order once more in the
Third District Several men were knocked
down, but none seriously hurt in the
