GILROY FOR GRANTS SHOES.
The Tammany Public Works Commi
sioner to Run for Mayor.

The Tammany Public Works Commits
sioner to Run for Mayor
NEW YORK, Aug. 80. 1892.-A number
of prominent Tammany politicians re-
turned today from their summer vacations
and others will be coming home every
day this week. By the end of the week
all the leaders of the organization. with
one or two exceptions. will be at work.
and next week tue campaign in the city
will open in earnest.
Already several conferences have been
held, and number Of important matters
nave been practically decided on.
The Mayoralty was, of course, the mat
ter OF most Importance, and was the first
considered by the leaders who have talked
oyor the situation.
Mayor Grant persists in his refusal to
accept nomination for third term, and
his closest friends say that he cannot be-
induced to run again. With Grant out
OF the way 1t was quietly decided to nom
mate Commissioner of Public Works
Thomas Z. Gilroy il he will accept, and
it is understood that he will if it is the
wish of the leaders of the organization.
Commissioner Gilroy is not candidate
for The nomination, but is willing to serve
the party and the organization wherever
his services are of greatest use.
Unless something unexpected happens
1t is now pretty generally understood
among the leaders of Tammany that Gil
roy will be the nominee for Mayor. He
is very popular with the rank and file Of
the organization.

How Perfumes are Extracted.

A contributor to the Popular Science
Monthly says that six methods OF extract
ing perfumes are known. The first is ex-
preston, by means of a special press,
which is applicable without too
great loss to fruit skins rich in
essential oils, such as orange
and citron peel, previously granted.
Another method is that of distillation,
which consists In heating flowers with
water in q boiler. The essential oil is
volatilized, and is condensed with the
vapor of water in worm and a Floren-
tine receiver. The water usually goes to
the bottom and the oilfioats.
The oils of neroli, rose, patchouli, gera-
MUM. lavender. caraway, etc.. are OBJ
tanned in this way. This process Is not
applicable to the delicate perfumes Of the
mignonette and the violet; and for
them recourse Is had to macera-
tion of the flowers In animal fats
or mineral oils. which have the prop
erty of absorbing odoFous substances.
flowers are usually heated in the fat or
the oil for variable number of hours.
For perfumes which cannot endure a high
temperature the petals are placed
between two frames of glass coated
with fat. This is the process of
enfeurage. The rheumatic process,
which consists in causing a current of
perfumed air or carbonic acid to be ab-
sorbed by coatings of lard on glass plates,
appears not to have gwen salts
factory results. Another process
consists in disse1ving perfumes in
very volatile liquids like sulphuret Of
carbon, chloroform, naphtha, ether, or
chloride of methyl. and volatilizing the
splvents, which can be done at a low
temperature in q vacuum. The last
method has given very satisfactory re-
suits in the extreme delicacy and great
accuracy of its returns.

A DOGS GRATITUDE.
How Physician Won and Kept a Sky
Terriers Affection.

How Physician Won and Kept a Skye
Terriers Affection.
Speaking of animals and their some
times close approach to reason. W. A.
Sanborn, well known citizen, had a
highly priced imported Skye terrier.
which, for some unknown reason, con-
celVed an lnveterate dislike for the fam
lily physician, DR.. c., and manifested it in
exhibitions of rage Whenever the good
doctor had occasion to call at the house,
and occasion was frequent, because there
was much illness there. Once he
savagely tore the doctors trousers,
and finally became so intensely hos
tile that he had to be securely
fastened when the doctor was called
in. The dogs hatred for the doctor was
not less inteuse than his love for the old
family horse, with which he associated
every day in most amiable mood One day
the horse became frightened at an ele-
phant in circus procession that passed
near its tnclosure, and in his flight OF ter
ror stepped upon and broke his little COM
panlon's right foreleg. DIR. c.. was sent
for. and in his regard for the family swal-
lowed his dignity. Dexeerously he cut a
bit of sole leather, soaked it and literally
moulded it to the sufferers leg. Extra
ordinary as what follows may appear, it
is positively true in every particular The
dog apprehended his duty fully. Instead
OF snarling at DR.. CPS appearance he
seemed at once to know he was working
for his good, and during six weeks time,
or until the doctor removed the leather
splint, he never once offered to assume a
standing or sitting posture, but lay
quietly and seemingly contented in his
cushioned box by the 1reside. He was
nervous playful, constantly active crea-
ture. and it must have demanded strong
self control to lie there. Strangest part
of all, his aversion for the doctor disap-
peared altogether. and no human being
ever testified gratitude so heartily as this
dumb creature, which, after his restora-
tion to health. fairly danced with joy
every time he saw the doctor, and would
not be content until the good man had
taken him into his arms and caressed
him. If this be not reason 1t is au instinct
that is very nearly akin to it.-Chtcdgo

ATTENTION, POLICE JUSTICES.

You Cannot Send n Disorderly Person to
Jail for More Than Thirty Days.
Police Justices and Justices OF the
Peace who are in the habit of sending
dlsorderly persons to the County Jail or
Penltentiary for the term Of ninety days
will be Interested to know that Justice
Reed of the Supreme Court has decided
that no one can be committed up on that
charge for a greater term than thirty
days.
In granting writ of habeas corpus In
the case of William Brady, who was
committed for ninety days by Police
Justice Camanade of Trenton, Justice
Reed held that the power to commit for
ninety days did not extend to the sixth
section of the Disorderly Act where a
specific punishment is named, but only
to those sections where the punishment
was not particularly set forth in the Sec
tion but was named in the tenth section
The issuing of these writs practically
decides the question of the illegaliJy of
the sentences of all prisoners in the
County Jail who have been committed as
d1sordery persons for longer period
than thirty days.
Cornelius Sullivan who was sent to the
County Jail by the same Justice for six
months was also released on Saturday by
q writ granted by Justice Scudder OF the
Supreme Court.

A SOUTHERN RoMANCER.

He Tells the Police a Weird Story About
the Borden Mystery.
An unromantic looking individual with
a romantic imagination called at Police
Headquarters this morning with mys-
terious tale about the Borden murder at
Fall River, Mass. He said he was locomo-
tive engineer and had until recently been
employed on road in Georgia He left
there few weeks ago and came North
looking for job. Of late he has been
hanging around the Pennsylvania station
in this city. Last evening, he says, he
went into a darkened car in the station,
and while there two men came in, and
not seej 4g him in the darkness, began
talking about the murder.
DO you believe John did itg' one of
the men asked.
II know he did, replied the other,
because l saw him do it,"
After talking further on the subject,
the engineer says, the two men left the
car. He followed and tried to get look
at them but before he could do so he lost
them in the crowd.
Detective "Billy" Dalton made some
enquiries about the matter around the
station this morning, but with what sue
cess Mr.. Dalton alone knows.

Article-Quarantine Precautions.
NEW YORK, Aug. 90, 1s92.-Dr. G. D.
Hamlem of the Bellevue Hospital staff
stated this morning that Anton Potzel,
the Austrian tailor, is not suffering from
cholera. He has nothing more serious
than bad case of summe complaint.
Potzel was found almost helpless, SO
weak had his illness made him, at
East ForLy-niDth street and Second
avenue yesterday afternoon sy Police
man Quinlan. The fact that he had
arrived here from Austria on August IL
and had cone by way of Hamburg was
the only reason for suspecting that he
had cholera. He showed none of the
symptoms. Nevertheless he was isolated
in q tent at Bellevue and placed in charge
of Dr.. Hanllen.
Potzel was walking about in his tent
this morning. He told eDr. Hamen,
through an interpreter, that he was feel
ing lrst rate and would like to have big
breakfast After the Health Board au-
thorlt1es take look at Potzel he will be
taken ont of the tent and sent home. He
stated that lie had only been IN Hamburg

Whether cholera reaches this city or

stated Saturday that fourteen policemen
had been detailed to aid the Health In
spector in making an examination into

is discovered.
The policemen found nineteen disease
breeding places in thu First precinct In
the Third precinct four pestilential places

Fourth precinct a like number of disease
breeders was found. Sixteen such places
were reported in The Sixth precinct, and
in the Seventh four were discovered.

he could do to prepare the city in case of
an invasion of cholera would be done.
Mr.. Benjamin is by no means frightened,
and while admitting thar it is possible
for cholera to pass the quarantine station
he does not believe it probable that such
will happen.
