ever and as il would take at least two col.
inns to fully explain the situation shall
leave you in ignorance OF the status OF thls
curdling municipal drama. When the cur.

during which the heavy Williams otthe play,
the gamblers ring police commissioners
managed to perfect plot, Matched at ions
ranpe by the governor OF the state, which
was to put them in full possession OF po-

all well-regulated melo-dramas they
brought their schemes to climax whlcn
promised to leave the other side no peg 10
stand upon when, suddenly, the hero OF the
play, Mayor Ewing, reveals a copy of some
body's com pendulum of parliamentary law,
quotes from it in establishment OF mooted

onist who writhe in imbecile rage while
the curtain falls to the plaudits OF all good
citizens. 1t is a very interesting night
which is now going on in municipal circles
here, but cannot hope to give any ides OF
what will happen next, not TO mention
