New York World.
Mayor Hewitt occasionally INDUCES
in pun. He did yesterday and at his
own expense, too.
What's the use of disputing over
dead hOrse?" he asked, speaking of the
results of the recent election, ''or a
dead mayor, rather"
An alleged interview with ex-Judge
A. n. Rucker, of Denver, was published
in morning newspaper, in which Pres
ldent Cleveland, speaking of his chances
in this state a week or more before
election, was quoted as saying: "IIew-
lit is Democrat, but he is anxious to
defeat me. He is running for the pur-
pose of defeating me. He does not like
me and never did," to which Senator
Blackburn, OF Kentucky, is alleged to
have replied: ''The old rascal ought to
have stone tied to his neck and be
thrown into the river"
The mayor was asked if he cared to
say anything in reply.
"Oh, saw it," he answered, "but I
don't believe it. do not believe that
either Mr.. Cleveland or Senator Black
burn said what is attributed to them,

is that | find it reported in newspaper.

Cleveland did make the remark, the re-
turns of the election in New York city.
which he has since had the opportunity
to study, will disabuse his mind on the
subject, for they show that my can IL
dacy increased instead of diminished his
majority here. 1t was not In New York
city, but in the interior of the state, that
he was beaten. The Republicans voted
sOlidly for Harrison here, but for
mayor, $4,000 of them voted for Grant
and perhaps 10000 for me. In the di-
vision of the Democratic vote i was the
sufferer, not Mr.. Cleveland. AS far as
he was concerned, the local split
worked no injury whatever. If there
had been two or three sets of Demo-
cratic candidates in every county in the
state his chances might have been bet
ter. AT all events he cannot shake his
CORY locks at me- l might easily prove
this by the figures, but pshaw! what's
the use disputing over dead horse, or
dead mayor, rather?"

POLITICAL DEATH.

In an interview Senator SABIN says
that he regards seat in the United
States senate of higher honor than q
cabinet position. There is surely more
vitality in it. AS rule, cabinet posi-
ton is a political coffin. And yet we
could put our finger on score or more

like to meet death in that form. They
would be perfectly willing to go into
HARRIsoN's cabinet and then, drawing

Philadelphia Times.
There is white bulldog now living
in Philadelphia whose case should be
brought before the ladies' branch of
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals for amelioration and
sympathy. His name is Pete, and in
the past he has not been wholly I'M
acquainted with the prlze-ring, as few
scars on his body and one torn ear sure
ly testify. AT present he is the prop
erty of young medical student, who is
the victim of consuming passion for
poker. 70 this passion all his grief is
due. 1t so happens that the owners
devotion to the goddess fortune is not
bounded by his ancestral wealth; and
the consequence is that Pete, repre-
Senting certain monetary value, is
continually being put up as collateral
during the progress of these interest
ing games. During the past month he
has been staked at least twenty times,
and is carried off by new owner at the
expiration of nearly each evenings
sitting.
Being of loyal and affectionate nat
ure, Pete is put in sad dilemma by
this state of affairs. Just as he is be-
ginning to love, honor and obey new
master bad stroke of luck comes in,
and that night he finds himself The
property of another and stranger. 1t
is true, he may be back in a day or two,
but all the same it is very embarrassing
for the dog. When on the street he has
to be continually keeping in mind
whose property he is for the time be-
ing, lest in fit of Observation-Disclosures
spying some former master,he might fol-
low Inn instead. POndering so deeply
upon this subject has had tho effect of
straining Pete's brain quite severely,
and it is but right that some charitable
society should take the case In charge.

HOW CITIES HAVE GROWN.

Population of the Leading
American Cities.
Philadelphia Record.
Presidential elections always call out
a full vote. and the vote cast in the lead
ing cities of the country last week can
be taken as an indication of the relative
growth of those cities. New York, with
its 270, 1914 votes for president, leads all
her sister cities, with Philadelphia and
her 205, 747 votes good second. These
figures indicate a population of over
100000 people for New York, and
shows that Philadelphia has passed the
100000 mark. BROOKLYN and Chicago
are pressing this city. but they are
nearly a quarter of a million behind us.
[Chlcago has over 600,OOO.] Boston shows
the smallest percentage of increase of
any of the cities. The following table
gives the total number of votes cast in
each OF eleven leading cities for presi-
dent at the recent election:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. There is

as one of the strongest men on the Re-
publican side. Some doubt is being eX-

sort of agreement was entered into at
Chicago, but it does not appear that
Mr.. Harrison made any pledges there.

apt to be chosen for attorney general.
He is probably the most prominent Re-

Origin of I'm the Soup"

The origin of this expression is probably
from one of the ''Bab Ballads'' by W. S. Gil
bert. known as 1.-The Yarn of the Nancy
Bell,,' wherein the cook and one of the sea-
men are discussing who shall eat the other,
and as they talk the cook stirs the broth in
the big bowl. The seaman then describes
what took place:
And he stirred it round, and round, and
round
And he shifted at the foaning froth;
When ups with his heels and smothers his
squeals
In the scum of the boiling broth.
The result is somewhat similar to that
which happened to ole of the two great po-
litieal parties.
