THE Board Of Garbage feels that it IS
absolutely necessary to get rid Of Clerk
W H Lee. The managers Of the Pig
gerry feel precisely the same aversion
for the same reasons The tastes Of the
Board Of Garbage and the Piggery are
similar. They both delight in Mcdonnell
Pagan and liberal allowances for not
cleaning the city and they both dislike
Mr.. Lee, The honesty and intelligence
OF the one Is as hateful to them as the
dishonesty and ignorance OF the Others
are grateful. With those intensities O.
love for the evil and hatred Of the good
IN their speculating breasts they
have introduced bill TO deprive Lee Of
his Office. What spectacle intelligent
and educated professional men like Drs
Wales and 6hortlidge present TO the
community by indnlging in this vulras
snd suspicious scramble for Office and
money with Mcconnell, Fagan and Others
Of that ilk as running mates and CO.
parcenary heirs to the garbage contracts.
We sincerely trust that these profes
sional men and political doctors have nc
peeuniary interest in these contracts
but they act very oueerly in defending
the men who have.

to the grand parlor on the floor beneath,
where, in circle with the beautiful paint

and the portieres for background, stood
a group of ghostly warriors, each with

they excavated shallow grave 10 the
parlor floor and brought one of their num-

whirl of damp air, and the professor stood
alone in the great parlor with the piano
and books about him. He returned to his
room, and the next day, taking hint
from his nights experience, examined
carefully the debris thrown out by the
workmen in excavating the cellar. He
found unmistakable evidence the height
had been used as burial ground by the
Indian tribes in the past. The spectral
funeral which he witnessed was thu
repetition of one of their old burials -
