city Of Mexico, who have been at the Har-
per House for the past six weeks, on busi-
ness connected with Mr.. J. Z. Abbott

The Boston Philharmonic Club failed to

onel turned over his pedigree book and
talked horse to us until we were pretty
we'll posted as to his stock. He told us
all about how Lulu was bred; how he
brought the colt to Rock Island when he
removed here from Kentucky; how he
placed her in Sherm Perry's hands, at
Muscatine, Iowa, for training, and how
Col. West sold her to her present owner,
Mr.. joseph Harker, of the Everett House
Stables. No. 81 East 32d street, New York.
Col Crockett says the original name he
gave the mare was Luna not Lula; that after
Perry had trained her awhile and found
she probably had a famous future he
Perry asked him (Col. Crockett) one day
if he might name the mare Jenny Perry,
Col Crockett gave his permission, and
that is how the mare happened to be called
Jenny Perry. When Mr.. Harker pur-
chased the mare the subject OF restoring
her name was considered, and he objected
to Luna as being too near like Lunar, and
as names sometimes affect values, and as
the mare was not moon-eyed, he las Col.
Crockett says), concluded to come as near
to the original name as possible, and yet
miss it, and so he called her Lulu.
We give WdUace's Monthly the Benefit
of this talk, at the same time admitting

The only place in the country where

their expenditures as low as possible, and
economic in all practicable ways, is Wash.

The Truth About the Name Lula

The Truth About the Name "Lula.
We observe some of the papers persist
in giving this famous mare the name
Lulu, Instead of Lula In order to
settle the matter we will give the facts in
the case, The mare was originally called
Jenny Perry, and under that name she
was entered in the first volume of the 7rot-
ting Register, page IT'S. Her breeder,
Col Crockett. sold her to COL Il. West, OF
Georgetown. Kentucky, and he sold Der to
MIR. Joseph Harker, of this city. On the
18th of February, 1873, Mr.. VIM. L. De-
Forest. acting for Mr.. Harker, sent us the
pedigrees of his stock for insertion in the
second volume of the Register, and among
them was the mare. Jenny Perry with BIZ +
name changed to Lula As the name
Lulu was not an uncommon one in fic-
ton, we supposed he meant to use that
photography, and we wrote Mr.. DeForest
at once whether he intended the name
should be Lulu or Lula, and his reply was
printed out Lula" This was, therefore,
the authoritative and official name of the
mare We know very we'll that Mr..
Crockett has written a letter saying that
her name was Lulu, but before that he had
written another letter to Col. West, saying
her name was Lula. The truth is, Mr..
Crockett could have nothing to do with any
name Mr. Harker chose 10 give his own
| mare in the official record.

Are we to understand from this that he

Really, we cannot say,-but we presume
that Mr.. Philleo means just what he says
in his card, viz: that he is a candidate for
the Office Of assessor. We presume he
would not object to a nomination from both

Is Police Magistrate a Member of the
Town Board

Town Board
1t is noticed that our worthy police mag
istrate is generally on hand to act as
member Of the town auditing board, but it
is claimed that he has no more right to act
in that capacity than the city marshal has
The law reads as follows:
In each town the supervisor, town clerk and jus-
tices of the peace of TBE TOWN shall constitute a
boarl Of auditors; said board shall consist of 10
less than three persons and each person shall cast
but one vote.

diction of justice of the peace in civil and

city limits, do not vote for police magis-
trate at all-he is not their officer, aud has
no right IN meeting of toaca officers. For
the purposes OF town auditing board a

THE ARGUS says it requires the votes
of six aldermen to confirm an appointment
Five aldermen and the mayors casting
vote were eficacious when Thomas Muir
dock held the civic chair, and no law has
since been passed to change the situation.
-Unton
The last time Thomas Murdoch was
elected mayor was in March 1872, and at
that time the charter provided that all
officers not elected by the people shall be
appointed BY the aldermen, by ballot
The mayor then had nothing whatever to
do with the appointment, either by casting
vote or otherwise-the charter required
that they "be appointed Jy the aldermen
by ballot"
The first mayors law was not 10 force
until July !, 1872, four months after Muir
docks last election. And the second
mayors law was passed and went into eff
feet April 10, 1875.
1t will thus be seem that two laws have
been passed to change the situation" since
Murdoch was mayor, and that when he
was mayor the law required that all officers

MERCHANTS GARGLING OH. This
standard liniment has been before the
people for over forty years, it having been
first manufactured in 1888. and it is safe
to assert that no preparation in the market
has so fully stood the test Of time, and
been received with such universal favor as
the Gargiiug Oil. 1t is found in nearly
every household in this country, and is
also sold extensively in Europe. From a
very small beginning the Garglipg Oil
Company has been obliged to steadily in
crease its facilities for manufacturing, and
now employs an army of men, and occu-
pies magnificent buildings of its own
Much OF the success OF the company is due
to the careful and efficient management of
Mr.. John Hodge, who for some time has
held the responsible position of secretary,
and who is also the proprietor of the
Hodge Opera House, one of the finest
buildings in Lockport, N. 7. The Garg
ling Oil is for sale at all the drug stores

Davenport City Election.

The Republicans of Davenport held
their city nominating convention yesterday
aud adopted the Democratic candidates
for mayor and for sexton; made no nomi
nations for treasurer or clerk, and nomi-
mated r. ID. Leonard for marshal, Ber-
nard Finger for assessor, Bernard Escke
for street commissioner and James
Osborn for wharf master Some one in
their convention minated Louis
A, LeClaire for treasurer when
imme diately a motion was made, and
seconded by Hon. J. w. Green, that no
nomination be made for this Office. MIR.
Green gave as reason for this, that AL
his party should except to do would be to
run in one or two men. By making a
| domination in opposition to Mr., Toerring
an interest would be arrayed against the
Republican ticket that would defeat it
entire. Besides, Mr.. LeClaire is a Dem
crat and he objected to nominating a
