and ashes. The Sheriff suspected joel Of
giving the surreptitious information to the
Roosevelt Committee which led to his in-

And now they are going for the scalp Of
the renowned Captain Williams, who bears
the distinguished title Of the clubber. His
locust has been q terror to evil. doors for
years. even the great knockcr out john L.
Sullivan did not care to test its quality.
But it is said that gambling houses flourish
in the Captain bailiwck, and that he has
waxrd fat thereor-certan it is that the
Captain hath comfortable bank account,
and that he owpeth many brown stone
houses and other valuable things, such as
it would be difficult to compass on police
captaiD's salary. Should the charges
against him now be proyed,a notable figure
will disappear from the police force, and ii
may render possible the execution of the
law against gambling, which up 10 the pres.
ent time has been dead letter.
The department OF Public Works has not
escaped the storm, and tho new commits
sioner Rolln NJ. Squire, who four weeks
ago was considered tho luckiest man in
New York, may find the stormy path of
New York politics like Jordan, hard road
to travel. The men who aided bis election
are cursing their folly, as well they may,
possessed for one OF the most impor,a nj
Offices in the State Of New York was, that
they knew nothing about him. Tie
trucking politicians who participated in
the deal have learned something of him
since, aud that something was not to the
advantage of Mr. Squire. So they deter
mined that they would put him on the
gridiron, and they did it most eflectually
By striking his name from the hiIl consti-
tuting the new aqueduct commission.
When the explosions touk place lord
Garmoyle got out Of town by the earliest
express. He has been fairly hunted down
10y interyiewers, and your irst class New
York interviewer is a most extraordinary
person. He wakes you up at two O'Clock
in the morning, makes you get out of bed, 4,
he helps himself from your cigar case takes
drink without invitation from your priv

himself down IN your easy chair, cocks his

and your aunts, and as an additional favor
requests that you will contradict the libels

day. Mss Dudley has had an excellent
opportunityto sample them, andI presume
she is not fayorsbly impressed.
Notwithstanding the tremendous threats
of re.ributlon by the friends Of 0'Donovsn
Rosa, nobody is afraid, things go on as
usual When Ridley AID McGarry get
their windows put in and the damage re.
paired, caused by the late dynamite eXplos

1t is not generally known that Miss
Fortescue, the lucky complainant in the
Garmoyle case, is not unknown in New
York. She was engaged in small parts al
the Standard Theatre at fifteen dollars Il
week. When she comes back she will
command more ducats than when she went
away. For a few weeks, at least, she will
be cheap at $500 night.
It was a violent shock to mine host oi
the Fifth Avenue Hotel when President
elect Cleveland turned his back upon that
popular hosiery, and tucked his legs under
the mahogany Of mine host of the Victoria,
1t is true that the Filth Avenue has teen
rather recognized as a Republican house
that is to say that all the Republican Presi
dents have stopped there, but then you
must recolect that we have had nothing
else but Republican Presidents since it was
built. But it seemed to haye a lien on the
Executive business, | suppose because il
was free blow out-plenty to eat and
drink aud nothing to pay. Bat the new
President starts off on a new track, and
insists upon paying his bills, a most excel
lent habit, oven IN Presidents. and while
be does it hope his shadow will never
grow less. Ed. Stokes made sure that he
would take his turkey and cranberry sauce
at the National Democratic Headquarters
during the late campaign, and it was said
that Stokes set up the champagne aud
broiled quail for Dan Manning, in order to
have him use his influence with the Presi-
dent elect to have him come to the Holt
man. Dan eat the quail and drank the
champagne and then forgot all about it, or
if he did say anything Mr.. Cleveland paid
no attention to 1t, as he doubtless thought
the Hoffman little Off color. In all OF It's
appointments no hotel in New York sur

IN the quality of the cookery or the magni-
iitence OF the charges-itis is up TO high water
mark with the noLblest hotels in New York
or any other favored city. If you WINK At
a waiter It costs you hslfa dollar, while
any thing like a respectable dlnuor for two
will knock the battom of ten dollar bill.
