This will put an end TO pile Of talk
which eiiianated from 8 disappointed
seeker Of the Office
What in the name of the great horn
spoon has happened to the girl in the
I telephone Office lately. She actually
answers queries in Il pleasant manner. II
is pleasing contrast to her former ways.
Now cometh the time when the Police
| Commissioners VIII be butbon-holed and
bored tosdeath by chancemen aud their
friends to get on tne police force. The
bill in Trenton now, increasing the force
by fifteen meli, it is said. will become q
law, and it has created a 1iutter among
those who wish 70 swing locust, and
great is the anxiety felt as 10 who will be
the lucky ones.
The fascination OF gambling wasseldom
more strongly Illustrated, in my humble
opinion, than last Thursday. The snow
was coming down with a vengeance, but
when the coach which makes The noon
trip on race days to the Gutenberg track
started, all the sports forsook the warmth
of The bar rooms for an hours ride in q
stage coach with the thermometer at
freezing point just for the sake OF risking
a few dollars on some of the snow horses
that gallop around the track.
Frank Shaier, who drives stage coach
to the races, says he is positive that he
carries IN re, dollars on his trip to the
track than he does on the down trip.
Perfectly NATURAL Frank, you do not

at being defeated Tor the office of lieu

1t was q very close vote, however, and
shows that Jerry is very popular with the
rank and file.
How completely ex-Mayors Kerr and
Besson have dropped out OF political life.
Elk Mayor Thinker is heard from once In q
while in the role Of kicker, but the
other two gentlemen have entirely dis
appeared.
WEEHAWKEN POINTS.
Mayor Kelly is in ecstacies over the way
in which the ballot boxes of his borough
showed up at Trenton. Simon wanted to
bet that no flaws would be found. He
would have won his bet, as the tally was
auspiciously correct.
John Nelson, the proprietor of the sa-
loon at the corner of Nineteenth street
and Park avenue, made a fortune at No.
76 Hudson street, Hoboken, while the
pool rooms were running there John
suffered sore affiietion recently in the
death of his wife. She was great bust
ness woman.
That splendid thoroug hfare, the Boule-
ward, was crowded with Sleighing par
ties on Thursday. The road house did q
rushing business in hot drinks and was
crowded with gay and festive parties.
member Of Tank Lodge No. /, knights Of
Lush, of Hoboken, has no sympathy for
the DRINKS which he is called upon TO
sentence in this town. / should think
that it was against all the principles OF
the lodge that the judge should be severe
to those who practically uphold It's fund
amenUal principles, but then | suppose it
can be claimed that one of the laws of
the lodge deplores getting intoxicated
1t is whispered about the police station
that Ed Clifford won $500 on the races
last week. Ed is known to be plunger
/ and the statement is probably true
If Mayer Kelly wants TO indulge in his
| favorite luxury, ice cream, next summer,
! he had better reduce expenses now, as
/ the price of cream will be very high next
summer; but then, Il Simon IS appointed
TO the new Office, which it is said he is
seeking, the price of ice cream will not
bother him.
Although Mike eapp is generally well
liked in this town, ne has no desire for
political honors, although they have been
repeatedly thrust upon him by his
friends. Mike shows his high forehead
by not plunging into the uncertain name
of politics.
