ly of MIR. Mayor, of Nashua, being con-
yened in ordinary session, Mrs. Mayor
remarked
IL am going down town tomorrow to
do little shopping. | want new bon
net among other things, and move the
appropriation from the contingent fund
of an amount sufficient to cover the nee
essary expenses"
The motion is vetoed, =" said Mr.. May

THE motion ia passed over the veto by
a unanimous vote" responded Mrs.
Mayor, sweetly.
1.-The motion is again vetoed, said Mr..
Mayor, land that ends it,"
Then the house went into eXtTaOrdi-
nary session on the state of the question,
The deliberations were brief but de-
cisive.
The veto did not hold and Mrs. Mayor
got her new bonnet.

done as well as others, and that man
who is born of woman is liable to put his

Question and Answer.

Pa, what's an alderman
An alderman, my son,
Appears to be beyond all else
The city's favored one
In fact, the biggest man on earth,
When all Is said and done.
Last year he ran small saloon.
The haunt of roughs and beats;
This year he owns the solid town,
Especially the streets,
And bigger grows from day to day,
Whene'er the council meets.
Pa, what's franchise?
A profitable thing
Which ought to yield revenue
Enough for any king.
And which our lOrdly aldermen
Toss to gang" or "ring."
Grow up, my boy, and do your best
To be an alderman,
Then run the city that you serve
Upon the bandit plan;
Grow rich and great, and keep outside
State prison If you can.

THE FIRE RECORD,
An Early Morning Blage at Galveston
Involves a Loss Of About One Hun.
bred Thousand Dollars.
Nearly Two Squares OF Dwelling Houses
Burned-Later Particulars OF the
Fire at Wichita rails
Connagration AZ Gnlve.tou.

Special to the Gazette,
GALVESTON, TEX, Dec. n The Island
City was visited by disastrous nre at au
carly hour this morning, Involving a loss
OF about 100000 The exact origin OF
the fire Is mystery, there being several
different tumors as 20 where aud how IL
started, noLe OF which can be traced TO
reliable source. The Are was discovered
az o'clock sweeping through tho back
premises OF II. W. Ralstop, ON avenue X,
between Twenty rwenty second
streets. Although little or no breeze was
stirring NJ the time, the fierce flames
spread with terrible rapidity on all sides
from the Ralston premises, soon sweep,
ing over the larger portion q
two entire squares, bounded by Twenty.
FIRST and Twenty-Secopd streets on the
east and west, and by avenue /. and
Broadway on the moth aud south.
Every building standing on these
two squares, with all Ont-houses. was
constructed of wood, and all, except six
houses, Including one church, fell be.
fore the devast0tl flames. Twenty.
eight dwelling houses, two grocery
stores aud one meat market, embrace The
list of buildings lost. The IRE depart.
ment responded early, but according 90
the reports Of eYe-WiineSses, the fire was
badly managed. IL was discovered early,
but the cisterns in the vicinity were
nearly empty, and the engineers ran
from one clstern TO another iranticAlly
seeking water, while strangely enough
the largest cistern In the Vicinity was
passed and repassed and left untouched
The water works do not extend beyond
the business limits Of the city. The
scene In the vicinity OF the Are until long
after daylight was one Of panic aud dis.
order The people for squares distant
were moving out their household effects
IN anticipation Of another great copnagra.
ton, similar to November OF SO. A great
deal OF personal property was saved, nd
the total loss will therefore be consider
ably reduced. Good judges estimate the
loss ut from $4,000 to $4,000

lost their hno residences area
