The Manager OF PADDY

The presence of Patti in the city
calls to mind a story on Marcus May
or, who has under Mr.. Abbey, been
her manager for several years. The
incident occurred in the city of New
Orleans about the time John l.. Sui
Ivan and Paddy Ryan had their fight
near the Gre scent City. A newspaper
man who had been sent down there
to report the battle was standing one
day In front of the st. Charles Hotel
talking to Pat Duffy, a "red-
hot sportn and gambler, when
along came Mr.. Mayer. Mr.. Mayer
knew the newspaper man and stopped
to shake hands with him. La was
in the city but TOR The day, but then
Mr.. Mayer never let's 60 an opportu-
nifty to shake hands with a scribe.
The newspaper man responded cor.
daily and introduced Pat Duffy, tell
ing the latter that Mr.. Mayer was
PATHS manager. The sport grasped
Mr.. Mayors hand in most hearty
manner and said: II am mighty
glad to meet you. / want to tell you,
as Paddy's manager, that you have
a daisy, and I propose to bet $3.50
that he will win this fight" Those
who know Mr.. Mayer can imagine
the expression Of his face at being
taken for the manager of prize fight

II is pleasing to learn that the United
States supreme Court decision does not,
after all, finally decide the litigation be-
gun by Myra Clark Gaines SIS years ago,
but leaves a loophole through which the
corporation Of New Orleans can keen
the contest going Of least several years
longer. The Supreme Court disallowed
tbs award OF 81 34s, $40 81, estimated as
the revenues That should have been re-
eelved from unimproved lands, but
allowed judgments for S5T6, 7t7. %
directly against the city instead Of
against individual owners, subject, how.
ever, to the qualification that II ths city
can show that any of the said judgments
have been compromised and settled for
any less sums than the face thereof, with
interest, the city shall be entitled to
the benefit Of corresponding reduction.
| This the city intends to do, and it opens
/ up a certainty of further delay with an
uncertainty OF the final result. In this
celebrated CONSIST tho proVerbial delays
OF the law have operated TO reassure bona
hdo purchasers that it will be 20 easy
matter to defraud them in their title to
reel estate, which they have bought, paid
for and improved in good faith, by push.
ing claims not heard OF until 90 or 80
years after, and Of which the riehtful
owners of the same could, in the very
nature of things, have 20 foreknowledge
unless gifted with prophetic vision.

forward, companionable, popular man,
an able and experienced navigator and
capable ships master with, as Dickens
says, mo nonsense about him" When
the Rugia's cargo, an iniammable one
made up largely Of cotton and lard; was
found to DO on IRE the other day, the
captain made mp his MUD to save the

against it, In preparation for tina worat,

It distinctly understood that he would
empty his revolver among any cravens
who attempted to put tho boats overheard
before he gave the word. Then, as last
resort, he turned jets of steam into
the hold and In three hours the flames
were gotten under control. Since this
has been done thore are plenty who can
explain why, under the circumstances,
steam should have accomplished what
water did not, but Captain Karlowa
was the man who thought of the right
thing at the right time and did 1t.
