posed that his absence was due to the
usual cause. but in some way it leaked
out that it had been prolonged in most
unusual manner.
Specs started out on his last payday
with fellow-printer named Frank, and
the two made determined effort to de-
crease the visible supply of whisky in
Park Row.
It was 3 o'clock in the morning when
they awoke. A star or two still twinkled
in the heavens and the day was on the
eve OF breaking. The men started up
simultaneously for q drink, ard stimuli.
taneously their hands descended into the
depths Of their trouser pockets.
'Frank, "I'm broke" gasped Specs.
"And I haven't cent" CALCULATED The

one another's face in mute despair, and
then Frank broke the silence.
".There's only one thing for it" he said

The two men clasped hands, and Franz
began to count. When he reached ''three'

His Astounding humor is elected on the

he was riding in herdio down from the

The boy looked at him hard and Of

as he was ready 20 step out OF the herdic

said: ''The devil will get you for lying

which the North Carolina senator hearth

The Story of q California Rancher

One day at Yellow tavern, when the
riders of the south followed Stuart'e
plume into the hurting death storm Of
fifty guns, Colonel Stanley rode boot to
boot with the great cavalry leader. As the
smoke thickened and the iron storm
swept with redoubled fury through the
ranks of charging grey, Stuart raised
himself in his stirrups and broke into the
words of his favorite song, 'The Dew
is on the Blossom" The mellow voice
of the charging leader was the colonels
last remembrance OF the onset. Agrape
shot tearing through his right breast
hurled him from his saddle and he made
one of thousands stretched upon that
bloody field.
When next bis eyes opened they look
ed upon the surroundings of a Rich
mond hospital cot. At the side of the
cot sat ':mammy," the negress who had
nursed him as baby, amused him as q
child, attended him as youth and fol-
lowed him TO the battlefield. Learning
that her young master and foster child
had fallen, ''mammy" had followed by
dim light OF the lantern, through half
the night, the awful track of that ter
rible charge. Mangled limbs, shattered
breasts, contorted features and blood be-
dabbled locks paled the lanterns feeble
CLEAN at every step and brought to the
check Of the negress the peculiar ashen
hue lent bv terror to the dusky skin of
of her race.
At last the right heap of the slain was
reached and '.mammy" drew from it the
bloody form of her young master. Ten
derby she cared for her foster child and
rested not until he was beneath the sur
geon's care. For long months the des-
perately wounded soldier lay in Rich
mond hospital, devoutly 'nursed by the
old negroes. When at last he left his
bed he was in no condition to resume his
place in the service. On furlough, he
passed year in Italy, and with the hue
Of health once more on his cheek and the
strength OF manhood in his arm, hast
ened back to strike last blow for the
oonfsderacy. Participating in the clos
ing shocks Of the great conflict he rode
in that last effort Of desperate courage
by which Gordon's cavalry cut their way
through the encompassing federal ranks.
Here he received the saber cut whose
grim and ivid trace still marks his fea-
lures. In the cabin Of Virginia noun
taineer the colonel recovered from his
second wound Located in the Brazilian
fields, still attended by faithful
NANNY" he was fortunate from the
first. He soon had q fortune in his pos
session, and selecting California as his
future home, he purchased and stockeda
ranch, and has since led the free and in
dependent lie Of the plains.
'And now" said the colonel in copclu-
sion, "would you like to zee '.mammyT
Most assuredly," was the reply, and to
The colonel's call there came forth an
aged and bent negress. "You see" said
the colonel. "she will not leave me-"
'Not," said "mammy," "until the Lord
,alls."

ANOTHER STEP
TAKEN IN THE MATTER OF THE POLICE
AND FIRE BOARD PETITION.
The Court 0verrulss the Demurrer 10 The Petition Of
Citizens and the Fight IS 10 Go Brsyely
On TO Finish.

The action of Judge Jacobs, in Part One
of the Circuit Court, in overruli Ig the de-
murrer ofthe City to the petition Of Mr.
J. B. Sheppard and Others, as was stated
in Yesterdays REGIsTER, was a grievous
disappointment to the Republicans who
take an interest in reyolutionizing our mu
nieipal government, while Democrats, who
have an abiding faith that the voters OF
the CITY are fully compe-
tent to chose Chief of Police by ballot,
and who believe there is wisdom and IN
telligenee enough in Council to audit the
hills and exercise q general supervision
over the Police and Fire Departments,
were quite we'll pleased at the decision OF
the Court. The Republicans who so clever
ly engineered the Police and Fire Board
ordinance through Council have
all along hoped that the
Court would sustain the demurrer
To the petition and that the matter would
be thrown out Of Court, leaving them free,
nj a favorable moment, to carry into full
operation the details of the plan, which
has a legitimate elimination in an amend
n,ent to the city charter taking the cleo
tion of the Chief of Police away from the
people and placing 1t in the hands OF the
golrd of Police Commissioners, but the
decision of Saturday skaters this fond
hone. and requires the city TO prepare and
Tile an answer to the petition Of the cltl-
zens. This will now be done, and what
promises TO be q tedious and exhaustive
LEGAL contest will have been fully launched.
Little has been heared of this matter for
some time past. The petition has now
been pending in Court for about eight
months, and it had quite dropped out OF
the public mind.
The ordinance providing for the creation
of Police and Fire Board, passed Council
January 10th, and the members OF the
Board were elected under it on the 2sth OF
the same month. The rules drawn up by
the Board were presented to Council May
18th, and were approved by that body, the
Board then entering upon the active dis
charge of its prescribed duties.
MANY citizens however, did not approve
of the measure, and on the 18th OF April,
three weeks before the adoption of the
rules by Council, ten voters and tax
payers Uetitioned the Circuit Court, under
Section - of the Act of December -, $50,
for the setting aside of the ordinance
creating the innovation. Both sides
secured the services of eminent counsel,
and the matter of the petition was argued
pro and con on a motion to exclude. This
motion was Oyerruled, when the city de
INJURED to the petition. This demurrer
has Just been oyerrulcd, and it now re-
mains for the city to make a fight.
