MIR. IVES THE RIGHT MAN.

The Corning Election of an Assistant
 superintendont Of streets.
 The matter of selecting an assistant supsr- intendent of streets comes up tonight before the board of public works for Q probable final disposition of the case. There seems to bs no good reason why the position should not in all fairness be rendered to MT. George L. Ives. Hais thoroughly qualified for the position In every respect and as e man of business, acquainted with the field of duty involved in the work. No one in town, it is sate to say. is better qualified than MT. Ives. Our democratic friends concede the justice of awarding the office to 6 republican, owing to the disposition of tho superintendency, and all differences should be set aside to- night by putting the right man in the right place. That the city's interests would be thoroughly served in choosing MT. Ives to tho position there can be no doubt. MT. Ives Is not . place hunter nor office seeker, but . sterling citizen, honest, upright, oaps- bls and in every way fitted to serve the pubs lie ably and we'll.

Among the best raconteurs, es he is one of the best type of gentleman, is General C., now retired after arduous and successful ser- vice, lasting many years. The general used to tell of an experience he had in Washington which was shared by brother officer, and in a very satisfactory manner. He and Captain V- reached the capitol together, each with long leave and each pretty we'll provided with funds. They took communicating suite at Willard's, and started out for g change from the quietude of post life. They found it, and sundry small bottles, and wound up the evening at a noted resort where faro was in full swing. - proposed that they o. assented. For two hours the luck was dead against V-, and the $200 swelled in- to an amount very nearly representing the sum total in possession of the pair. At3 8. m. C., disguted with himself and the world, left for his hotel with about money enough in his pockets to pay his bill. V- wouldn't stir, but insisted that he "felt in the vein, and luck must turn" C. got to bed, tossed about for couple of hours, and then fell into a troubled sleep.
 When he awoke it was broad day, and the sunlight seemed to serve only to make clear- CT his bad luck and his beastly situation. R. E. Morse sat on his pillow. He would not only have to surrender his leave, but he would be guyed unmercifully when he got pack to hls post
 With @ yawn, a muttered curse and the ejaculation, "S'pose one has to get up and wash, anyhow" 0 C- tumbled out of bed and looking through the open doorway saw V- peacefully sleeping.
 "Guess when he wakes up he won't feel 30 peaceful" growled c., as he rubbed his champagned caput and made bee line for the washstand-none of your new fangled affairs, but with the old fashioned bowl, pitcher and soap dish. A drink of water was pressing prerequisite to the use of a tooth brush, but the smaller pitcher gave out no fluid, and the general was moody with wrath. He grabbed the larger pitcher and is that dingy roll that falls into the oupi "By the Lord Harryl" said the general in recounting the story, sit was money-lots of 1t. I looked in the smaller pitcher and found another wad; then under the wash bowl, which had happened to notice was turned upside down, and there were a lot of roughly rolled bills, each of which presented hundred dollars when strengthened out. into V--'s room to awaken him. He pre- tended to be asleep, but saw the muscles around his mouth twitch, and in minute I had him yanked to the floor, while fired a whole volley of questions at him. He cooly advised me to get dressed and not make an sss of myself, and finally got into my muf- ti only to find bills in almost every pocket of vest and trousers. Luck had tarned. - won back all we had put in and near ly eleven hundred dollars more, came into my room quietly and perpetrated the most delightful practical joke ever heard of." Southington.
