''Clay was perhaps the first consummate
party leader of the congressional and plat
form type, jefferson having worked, not
on the platform, but in the closet and
through the press. He was paragon of
the personal fascination now styled mag
netism. MAGNETIC indeed his manner and
voice must have been If they could max o
the speeches that he has left us pass for
the most cogent reasoning and the highest
eloquence. Yet multitudes came from dis
tances, in those days immense, to hear him
A cynical critic said that Clay could get
more people to listen to him and fewer
people to vote for him than any other man
Ia the Union. He, however, did get many
votes, though never quite enough.
His power of winning the hearts of
men was unique. When at last he missed
his prize by losing the election for the
presidency, his partisans wept like children.
One of them is said TO have died of grief
He was ardently patriotic, after the war
hawk fashion, but the presidency was al
ways in his thoughts. and its attraction ac-
counts for the perturbations of his political
orbit, He said that pc would rather be

TIE TICKET SELLERS RAKE OFF,
How Forgetfui or Careless People Often

How Forgetful or Careless People Often
Lose Cousid erable Money.
There seems to be considerable favoritism
shown in the admissions department. As
every one knows, the small salary Of $40 a
month Is not what the average ticket seller
is after. 1t is the rake off" The rake
off" consists in the change which patrons
forget to pick up from the window when
they purchase tickets. Sometimes this
rake. off" is enormous. One young man
who handles tickets at Sixty-fourth street
at the beginning Of the month deposited
900 in local bank. That was his rake
off, for the month of June. 1t is calcu-
lated that the rake off, in some of the
offices at Fifty-seventh street, Sixty-f1rst
street and SiXty-fourth street averages tl0
day. Ticket sellers at these places have
been known to make as much ms s35 in one
day.
This is where the favoritism comes in.
There are 10 men at least who have held
down positions at the gates mentioned ever
since the fair opened. The other poor fell
lows have been changed about, stationed
here, driven there, and used as II they were
so many soldiers, without n chance of re-
monstrance or complaint. They see their
luckier companions getting rich off the Wis
itors, while they have to get along on their

| One of the favorites has been complained
of time and again for not returning change,
| but he still retains his place. His method
is that of bluffing. If person buys ticket
| and forgets his change, it matters not that
he rushes back and asks for it. He gets
laughed at for his pains, and his attention
is called to the notice, Count your change,

one man in hundred comes back to claim
his change He reasons that the ticket
seller would swear he never got it, and so
comforts himself with the reflection that
he has paid so much for his experience and
will take care not to do it again. If he
should return, the ticket seller would sim
ply bluff him off. One mans word is as
good as another's, and even at the worst
all the ticket man has to say is that he
paid it out TO some one else. Some of the
ticket men clear $500 a month cool That's
why none of them likes to be promoted to
inspectors. The inspector gets only SIS a

Council Meeting.

The town council met in regular
session Tuesday evening, Mayor
Neihart in the chair, with Aldermen
Crawford, Healey, Kyle and Meas
sey present.
Minutes of the previous meeting
read and approved.
Jack Mcdowell addressed the
council and asked permission to
place a sire ct platform scales on the
corner of Granite and Main streets,
on the north side of Main.
Considerable discussion took place
on the question Of collecting poll
tax, each speaker expressing the
opinion that it would be to the best
interests of the town to have a street
commissioner who could give the
necessary attention to the collecting
of said tax.
On motion of Alderman Kyle,
Homer Thomas was elected street
commissioner for the town and his
salary was fixed at $500 per day
when actually employed.
The claim of Chas. Black for
building the chimneys on the hose
house and Jail was considered and
Aid. McAssey recommended that it
be paid at the rate of $1.5O per foot.
The matter was referred back to the
committee.
The question of collecting the IL
cense due previous to Nov. 1st was
taken up, but action was deferred
until the next regular meeting.
A communication from Geo. Fall
ligan asking permission to place a
scales in front of his building on
Main street was read.
On motion Of Aid. Healey, per-
mission was given to Wilson, Nc
Dowell and Geo Falligan to place
platform scales on any side street,
or on Main street, provided the
weigh-beam is placed inside the
building and off the sidewalk. The
location of any scales are to be sub
ject to the approval of the commit
tee on streets and alleys.
Adjourned.

Hugh White is working on the
Crandall claim. The ground Joins
the Lizzie and is considered valu-
able property.
NJ. f. Boland has secured the
contract to build the Nevada road.
He commenced work Tuesday and
will have the road completed in a
few days if the weather permits.
The Gait has about finished its
new ore house and made some
changes in the assay office prepar-
atory for winter. When this work
is completed everything about the
nine will be in fine shape. Neihart
has reason to be proud Of this fine
property.
Steve Pierse, Chef Murphy and
Phil Walsh are working on a new
part of the Ingersoll ground known
as the Summit claim. They have
struck a large body of low grade ore
which we hope will improve as
depth is obtained. Stay with it
boys and the lngersoll is bound to
come out all right.
A lease and bond has been taken
by w. II. Banks on the Rochester
claim. The lease calls for a shaft to
be sunk POO feet below the present
workings which are down 70 feet.
Work is now being pushed rapidly,
the hoist house will soon be com
pleted and the engine and boiler
put in place. This is no doubt a
valuable claim as such an exper-
fenced mining man as w. H.. Banks
would not have taken hold of it.
We expect to hear great returns
from the Rochester in the near flu
ture.
Under the present management,
the Queen of the Hills mine is
making a fine showing.
They are now sinking the shaft and
are down about $50 feet below the
Parker tunnel. The ore TAX
en- out of the shaft is much better
than anything they have previously
struck. Work is also being pushed
on the O'Brien vein and we are in
formed that the indications are that
they will a large body of
ore in the neal future. This is I'M
doubtedly one of the best mines in
the camp and we will rejoice with
the owners when the time comes
that the mine is placed on a sound
financial footing and declaring divi-
dends regularly.
