ABLE TO DRINK LIQUOR.
A Few Men, Living and Dead, Who Got the
Best of Whisky.

Best of Whisky.
"You and 1 have no business with
whisky" remarked gentleman at the
Monongahela House yesterday, as be play
fully tapped a reporter on the shoulder.
II think the only two men in America who
can get ahead of liquor are Billy O'Conner,
of the St. james Hotel, and Chamberlain.
of Chamberlain's cafe. These men drink
from force of habit, and it never seems to
affect them or their health. 1 used to know
a newspaper man lin Baltimore. who Gied
recently leaving several millions, who
made it rule of his life to
attend strictly to business from
o'clock in the morning until noon, and at
midnight he would be carried to his room
drunk. After II o'clock in tine day he spent
the time drinking, and he killed off many
of his cronies vino couldn't stand the racket
with him.
Sometime ago witnessed similar scene
in courtroom. An aged man had given
his testimony when the Judge asked him if
he ever drank. He replied that he never
tasted liquor in his lite. The next witness
happened to be a brother few years older,
and the age of both men was over 80. The
Judge asked him the same question when
he answered that he had not drawn sober
breath since he was 20. We'll, remarked
the Judge after moments thought, drunk
or sober, you are certainly representatives
of a long-lived race.

WHY THEY ARE KICKERS.

Southsiders Who Want to Know Just Why
the Suburban Electric Road Has Quit
Running Cars-what the Officers Have
to Say About the Matter.
The suspension of travel on the Southside
suburban electric railway has been the
source of great deal of anger upon the
part of those live upon Mt. Oliver and
thereabout. They had been complaining
ever since the road was built about bad
service, but it was after the big snow-storm,
near Christmas time, when the running of
cars entirely ceased, that they got mad in
earnest. There has not been a car run on
the line since.
The Thirteenth street electric road went
into the hands OF receiver some time ago.
The Suburban was built with the idea that
it should receive its power from the former.
But, remarked William c. Bernardo,
who keeps drygoods store at Thirteenth
and Carson streets, that's what we people
VINO live along the line of the alleged
Suburban electric road object to. The
Suburban Company built its line when its
officers knew that the Thirteenth street road
was IN difficulties. L went way up on the
hill, as did many others, thinking that we
would have rapid transit. Fortunately tor
myself, l have 4 horse and carriage, but
other residents have to walk. Why don't
they do away with their alleged machinery
and put on horses? A car an hour would
help. Even when the road did run cars
there were none after $50 o'clock"
Henry Miller, the South Carson street
furniture dealer, is President of the
Suburban Electric Company. In talking
OF the suspension of oftravel yesterday, he said
that il was no fault of the Suburban Com
pany.
''The point is just here" said he; "when
the Suburban was started there was an
agreement made that our power should be
received from the Thirteenth street road.
Up to certain time everything ran all
right. Then the latter company went into
the hands of a receiver, William B. Fos-
sett. The story is that the road has been
bought BY Sellers Mckee.
''As to the Suburban, YOU may say that it
will be running within 90 days. Ground
has been broken for a power house and all
contracts made for its construction. As to
the other road, we have no connection with
it. There is plenty of travel for our road
when we get our own power"
Another interested citizen of the South
side laughed when the lower road was spoken
OF. He said the grades were so high that
power enough could not be generated to run
the motors, the result being that they were
frequently burned out. He had hope that
something might be done in time, but at
present the Twelfth street incline was what
the people who lived on the hill relied upon.

A First-CIass Council Candidate.

Colonel c. V. Lewis. of the HoHsblatt,
one of the best known and most popular of
Alleghenia ms, is candidate for Common
Council in that city this year from the Fifth
ward. There will be no more intelligent,
upright and earnest man in Councils than
Mr. Lewis, if he be elected. His newspaper
experience and the various associations with
which he is houcrably connected give him a
wide experience of the wants and wishes of
the people. When Allegheny starts out as
as city of the second class it should have
frst-class material in its Councils, and to
the first class Colonel Lewis decidedly be-
longs.

The Second Tour of the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads to Washington, ID. c., Thursday,

tunity to visit the national capital at a
slight cost. t The rate named for the next
excursion, leaving at A. NJ. on February
5, will be 81 for the round trip, tickets good
ten days, with the privilege OF a stop off at
Baltimore, Nd, IN each direction, within
the limit.
A special train of day coaches and Pull
man parlor cars will leave Union station, as
noted above, stopping at East Liberty,
Braddock, Irwin, Greensburg, with connec-
tion from Uniontown and Conuellsville, and
at Blairsville intersection, with connection
from Indiana, also stopping at principal
stations east thereof. A correspondingly
low rate will be made from points at whicn
this special train will stop. Tickets at re-
duced rates, as above, will also be sold for
night trains Parlor car accommodations
can now be secured on application at the

WANTS ANOTHER YEAR. IN OFFICE.
A Question Raised as to the Election for AID

A Question Raised as to the Election for Aid
erman in the Sixteenth Ward
The Mayor is trying TO determine whether
there must be an election in February for
Alderman in the Sixteenth ward. Squire
Doughty, who was convicted OF conspiracy,
resigned about ten days ago, and Governor
Beaver at once appointed Squire Chalfant
to fill tine vacancy. The latter's commits
sion gave him tenure of Office until May
1, 1891.
1t is now held that the commission holds
good until May l, 1892, in accordance with
provision of the Constitution which pro-
vides that an election to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation or removal of an
Alderman cannot be held within three
months of the date of such resignation or re-
moval. On this ground it is held that an
election for Alderman of the Sixteenth
ward cannot be held until the regular cleo
ton in February, 1892.

Another of the patriarchs of st.
Landry has passed away. Mr.. Felix
Dejean died at his residence in Ope-
lousas last Monday, in the Seth year
OF his age. While not apparently q
robust man, he was quite free from sick
ness during his.very long and active
life. He was educated for the law,
but never practiced that profession.
He was married three times and raised
family OF children by each marriage.
Three children of the first marriage
survive him, and their brother, Capt.
Albert Dejean, was killed in battle
during the war in Virginia. Five
children by the second marriage and
two. by the third, are living; besides
numerous grandchildren and great
grandchildren. His last wife died but
a short time before him. Mr.. Dejean
was an ardent sportsman, and his very
long life was no doubt due in great
measure to his active outdoor life as
we'll as to his temperate and abb
stemious habits. Born and raised in
this parish at time when feathered
game was very plentiful, he never gave
up the habit of shooting prairie chick
ems it was sport that seemed neces-
sary to his existence. When the in
crease in population caused the prai-
rie chickens to disappear from this
part of the parish, he went on camp
hunt once or twice every Autumn to
the lower part Of prairie Hayes; and
he made his last camp hunt little
more than a year ago. Mr.. Dejean
was not only a good manager of his
own private affairs, but he was good
citizen he wanted to see public affairs
properly managed and the country
well governed, purely from the stand
point of good citizenship-he seemed
to have no aspiration for public
office.
