Miss Cynthia Westover was the commits
sioner's private secretary, and the one efii-
cient person he had about him. When
Beattie was sick some months ago, she
ran the department by herself, and the
city streets were cleaner during her regime
than they were after Beattie got on his feet
again. She did all the figuring for the
department and made out the quarterly
reports TO the mayor
Before concerning herself with dump
carts and Italian laborers and scows, Miss
Westoyer was an inspector in the Custom
House, and before her Custom House days
she was "A Colorado girl, riding among the
mountains with her father, Prof West
over the expert miner. But what is of
interest at the moment Is her new position
She has become principal superintendent
at "A high salary of one of the biggest of
New York's big candy manufactures, tax
ing place that has always been filled by
a man. She began her new duties this
week and will no doubt offer n fresh dem
onstration of her unusual executive abili-
ties. She is "A handsome girl. and has a
voice with which, If she were not other
wise occupied, she might win fame and
fortune as "A singer.

OFFENDERS In COURT.
SEVERAL CASES BEFORE THE MAols-
TRATE T-OAY.
An Echo of the Italian Celebration-Pa-
triotic Hilarity Ends I'm - Personal En-
counter An Assault Case Requires
Attention-Another Unfortunate.

The case of Richard Kelly, charged with
assaulting Peter Hanvian, an Armenian,
was heard. Witnesses were questioned on
both sides, but Kelly was adjudged guilty
and was sentenced TO sixty days at the
Providence county Jail. An appeal will
probably be entered.
Matte Ward, charged with being a
street walker, was sent TO the State work
house for six months.
The grand ball at the old Infantry
armory last night wound up the Italian
celebration Of yesterday and was n scene
OF the greatest hilarity from the opening
dance TO the close. Shortly after 10
o'clock Gustiv De Benedictos, heated by
liquid refreshments and powerful exer-
else, removed his coat and sailed
into the dance in his shirt sleeves.
The floor director informed him that he
was breaking the rules of the ball. a gen
eral row followed. The offender was ar
rested and Jim Fera, who interfered with
the officers, was also taken in. They were
fined s. and costs to-day.

BEHIND THE NET.
The Games of the ~sast Side Tennis Club
Tournament Yesterday.


The beautiful prizes in the window of
Tilden, Thurber & CO., offered by the East
Side Tennis Club have attracted the atten-
tion of the lovers Of the game. Large num-
bers Of the East Side people were out yes
terday afternoon TO witness the opening of
the tournament.
The courts were not all that could be de-
sired owing TO recent repairing, but they
Will improve with the use of day or two.
The play began promptly at $50, and
while the best players maintained their
{ positions by wining without exception,
there We're many surprises in the results
among the players of the other classes
Neither Shepard or Hinckley put up their
usual games, and the latter appeared out
Of form during the contest Shepard won
the first set easily, leaving his opponent
with only one game. The next set was
more closely fought, but steady play
dnally gave Shepard the victory. Score
81, S-6, Shepard wins Meanwhile
Weeden and Waterman were hotly con-
testing match in which the odds were at
first largely in favor ofWaterman, he taking
the first set, 0 love. Then Weeden changed
his game from his usual drives to a lob,
and pulled out the next set &c. The de-
Gliding set went to Weeden ON steady, all
around play, giving him the match In
the Allen -Budlong match the former
played carelessly and lost many points
where steady play would have put him in
y llr way 10 winning. Allen at times
plays q marvellous game, but his lack of
care Is fatal in tennis tournaments. He
lost 80, 40. OF Chase, Cooper, Ames
and George, it need only be said that their
opponents were outclassed. Much interest
was manifested in the play of j.
ID. T.. Jones, as he is the man
who is looked upon as the only
near approach to Chace in play. Yester-
day showed him first class player with n
peculiarly difficult and deceiving stroke
that confused his opponent. 1t is more of
The Landsdown stroke than anything yet
seen on the grounds, but it should not be
1nyincible TO at least three Of the east side
players. Today, weather permitting,
there should be good matches between
Chace and g. c. Hinckley, Jones and
Ames and Budlong and Cooper. The
score In full was as follows:-
First round-Burrows beat Abbott by
1efault; Kendall beat Watson, 6-3, 6--3 |;
thepard beat w. Hinckley, 8-l, Sc
Jones beat Eddy, 6-1, 60; Ames beat f.
Rowland, 81, 81; G.. Hinckley beat
Brownell, 6-3, 6-1; Chace beat Guild,

II is not matter of interest TO the
country generally who may be the lieuten-
ant governor Of New York, but William
f. Sheehan, the present nominee, has
other claims TO consideration. lie is
probably the astutest political manipula-
tor i'm the State--a sort of power behind
the throne. William f. Sheehan is of
Irish ancestry and was born in Buffalo, n.
Y. Nov. 6, 1859 In early youth he at
tended public school, afterwards he went
TO St Johns College, Buffalo. He read
law with the Hon Charles +. Tabor and
became member of the bar in 1891. He is
now in partnership with Tabor, who was
afterwards attorney general. He became
a member of the assembly at Albany in
1885, serving ON the State charitable insti-
tutions and judiciary committees. In
1897 he was on the committee on federal
relations and rules, ways and means and
revision. He has the distinction of being
elected TO the assembly by the largest
plurality ever given for any candidate in
his district. He is also the first assembly
man in Erie county ever chosen five times
i'm succession. AT present he is speaker OF
the Albany assembly, and has been three
times the Democratic nominee for that
office.

THE "NEWS' TURN NOW.

country 70 me last summer IF were a

suggestion, and IL 20 down TO Providence
shall act upon IT,.
And here am. l might rs well begin
with this statement of the telegram re

Nest OF the editors are TO come from outside
the city and are claimed TO be stars In their
line. IL Is not at all unlikely that they are TO
draw some OF their inspiration from Newport,

tion OF his summer In that vicinity.
Ex-Governor Wetmore is not behind ="
the paper. There is no fright in the Re
publican camp. No barrel of money is TO
be poured in here for the "g. o. p." The
editors are neither imported nor do they
profess to be stars Most Of them are

ton was never i'm Newport in his life, nor is
he nor is either of his associates, under any
obligation whatever 10 any Rhode Island
man except such obligations as may be
established by distinguished service TO the
party. The item was pretty straight for
the Telegram, though, folks say.
The chief of police Is evidently determined
