QUEEN ELIZABETH is BOSS.
Mrs. Elizabeth Heilman Rules the Town Of
Williamsbridge with a Firm Hand.

The pioneer political boss of her sex Is
undoubtedly Mrs. Elizabeth Holman, or
Queen Elizabeth, as she is better known
Mrs. Heilman cannot vote, but she is the
arbiter of tho political destiny of every
man who does vote in the town of VIII
liamsbridgc n suburb of New York city
Tho question as to whether or not the
word male should be stricken out Of
the state constitution is a matter of small
concern to Mrs. Holman If an objection
able male crosses her path in Williams
bridge, she does not expend any time in
wondering whether to strike him out or
not but she simply disposes of the ques-
ton instanter by knocking him out
This has been "A wearing year for many
bosses, but Queen Elizabeth is still doing
well. She was recently made postmistress
of Williamsbridge, and although she rules
the politics of the place very little scandal
has arisen during her reign. She is every
inch boss, and yet she is model boss.
Thus in the case Of Mrs. Holman an ex-
pcctant public is enabled to get n limo on
the bossism of the future when woman,
emancipaUed woman, will run tho politics
of our fair land.
-Four years ago Mrs. Heilmans husband
died, leaving her Il little property. She

Il Cleveland TO Return Barrison's Favor
Tho promotion Of Judge j. N. Scott.
brother-in-law TO President Harrison. to
the newly created Office Of superintend-
ent of construction Of public buildings
on the Pacific coast has given rise to the
rumor that the president win request his
successor that Judge Scott be retained
In Office by the incoming administration
Mr.. Cleveland made similar request
four years ago of Mr.. Harrison. The
former had appointed Benjamin Folsom
Mrs. Clovcland's brother. to the lucra-
tive Office of United States consul at
Sheffield England. The salary is e. 500
per annum and perquisites aggregating
another 81 600.
When Cleveland retired from Office he
requested Of his successor TO retain
Folsom In Office. and President Harrison
evidently considered this proposition In
q favorable manner. for the reason that
Folsom is about the only Democrat who
is holding a consular Office of any i'm
portance abroad. Another relation Of
Mr.. Cleveland's, nephew, has held the
Office Of special deputy United States
marshal in one Of the northwestern
states during the last four years.
The salary Of the new Office held by
Judge Scott Is nine dollars per day and
travelling expenses. all Of which is about
equivalent to Folsom's remuneration.
The duties Of the Office require constant
travelling between cities where public
buildings are being constructed. The
officer examines tho progress Of the work
