Mary sAnderson's Chewing Gum.


II ia well known that Miss Anderson is
addicted to the gum chewing habit, and that
when she goes upon the stage she sticks her
chew OF gum on an old castle painting on the
scenery. There was wicked young man
PLAYING q minor part in the play who had been
treated scornfully by Mary, as he thought, and
he had been heard to say he would make her
sick. He did. He took her chewing gum and
spread 1t out SO that it was as thin as paper,
then placed chew of tobacco inside, neatly
wrapped il up and stuck 1t back on the old
CASTLE Mary came off when the curtain went
down. and going up to the castle she Dit ike
bass. Putting the gum, which she nad no
idea was loaded, into her mouth, she mashed
It between her ivories and rolled it as sweet
morsel under her tongue. 1t is said by those
who happened to be behind the scenes, that
when the tobacco began to get in Its WORE
there was the worst transformation scene ina.
ever appeared on the stage. The alr,one fsupe

The Latest Batch of Nominations.

| The nominations for county officers made
| by Governor Plaisted provoke very general
surprise and elicit anything but commenda-
tion from fair-minded men. That the
Council will refuse to confirm them is be-
yond doubt, and in this action the Council
viii be sustained by the people. No one
disputes the constitutional right of the Gov
ernor to do as he has done. He can,
if he chooses, act on the politi
cal maxim that to the victor belong the
spoils, and SO fill all the vacancies by the ap-
pointment of his political friends. The
Council, on the other hand, have right to
reject the nominees. As it happens Gov
ernor Plaisted is not the victor. The exec
utive power is divided. Both political or
CARNATIONS are represe nted in it. This he
knows. He is aware that his action in the
matter will lead to a wrangle, to vacancies
for year in some offices, to temporary ap-
pointments by the court in others. Know
ing this he has made a needless quarrel, and
raised an unnecessary issue with his Coun-
Gil. M
Under the circumstances of the case an
equitable compromise should have been ar
ranged between the Governor and Council
The plan favored by most people, and to
which there was no doubt the Council
would consent, was the reappointment of
the old officers. In counties where the vot-
ers had elected Republican officers, continue
those officers. In counties where the Fu
sionists elected officers, continue them.
Thus the will of the people would
be carried out, and the men of
their choice retained in the positions to
which they were chosen until the election
next Fall at which the votors can, if they
choose, make new selection. This is fair
and just to all parties concerned. But in
stead of adopting this wise course the Gov
ernor has chosen a way in which he wen
knows the Council will not follow him. He
should reflect that he is not majority Gov
ernor, and that if the people elected him
they elected Republican Legislature as
well and thus ensured a Republican Coun-
Gil to pass upon his nominations.
