in all of it-sharks teeth from one

monsters must have been as large as
Young whales, but how in the world
did they all congregate on this penin-
sular when the great convulsion came
that upheaved it? Verify the world is
full of mysteries, and We know nothing
hardly. Fortunes have been made
here by the few who are shrewd and
bold and who had good judgment and
foresight. George w. Scott has sold
part of his holdings for fabulous sums.
He owned miles of phosphate lands on
Peau river. Mr.. Codington, the genial,
energetic Yankee mayor Of Boston,

What every town in the South needs

a great traveller and lived some years in
Peru while Henry Meiggs was building
railroads there for the government. He

Meiggs bored for his wonderful rail-

SAUCY TO TILLMAN.
Charleston's Mayor Kesents Instructions
by the Governor.

CHARLESTON, S. c., January 49,
Some time ago Governor Tillman sent
out circular letter to the Mayors of
all the cities and towns in the State
calling their attention to the new Dis
pensary law, which provides that un-
,.ss the police of municipalities enforce
the law against "blind tigers" the mu-
inequalities would be deprived of their
share of the revenue derived from the
State bar rooms. Answers were re-
quested by the 18th instant.
To-day Mayor Ficken sent an an
swer of the Charleston Council. In
his letter to the Board of Control, of
which the Governor is the head, Mayor
Ficken writes:
"Our self-respect compels us to state
that the inquiry made in your ccm-
munication is not only without prece-
dent, but that it is highly ohjectiona-
ble, in that it implies in advance OF
action, doubt as to our loyalty to the
laws of the State, which We have SOL
emnly sworn to obey. We can not
suffer this imputation to pass without
rebuke. The reference to the matter
of revenue is in the highest degree Of
fensive to US and must Of necessity be
so to every self-respecting official"
The Mayor concludes: "We beg to
state that the police force of Charles
ton will be d rected to discharge the
duties imposed upon them by the Dis
pensary law The members of the
force are conservators of the peace and
it is their duty to maintain, uphold
and obey each and every part Of the
Statute laws of South Carolina"

REDMOND DEFENDS HIS DOC.
Says Mayor schieren Can't Stop
the CANNES Barking.
Refers to Other Nuisances, Which
He Claims Are More Important.

Some time ago Mayor Schieren, OF
Brooklyn, received complaints from. a
delegation Of citizens, who claimed that
life was made miserable by the howl
ing of three dogs owned by G. Red
mond, of 129 Thirteenth street. The
Mayor notified Mr.. Redmond that he
should have to abate the nuisance. To-
day Redmond replied. He said he had
only one dog.
las 1t is characteristic of dogs to
bark, 1t Is not in the power, under the
law, for either the Mayor or myself to
stop him from barking, unless l gag
him, and then 1 would be liable to ar
rest for cruelty to animals" wrote Mr.
Redmond.
"A dog does not, as a. rule, sit in the
house and say his prayers, and my dog
is no exception to the rule"
Redmond went on to say that there are
some real nuisances for the Mayor to
abate. He declared that there is a water
steal going on close by his home. and as
the Mayor Is supposed to be a reformer
he should look into 1t.
Another neighbor, a woman, he says,
Is running boiler without license
Complaints to Boiler Inspector Powers
and other officials have gone unnoticed.
The Mayor instructed his secretary to
notify Mr.. Redmond that as he had ad-
mitted that he was maintai lining a nui-
sance, he would have to abate 1t forth
with. Violation of the law by others
did not excuse him.

SUED BY MISTAKE.
Lawyer Campbell Shows that He
Paid the Money Demanded.

II appears that the order obtained from
Justice Andrews, directing T. C. Camp
bell, an attorney. of 265 Broadway, to pay
over certain moneys to the First Ma
tional Bank, OF Chicago, was applied for
and obtained under misapprehension
Of facts. Edward C. Perkins, OF the
firm of Peckham, Warner & Perkins, the
terday filed in court an affidavit stating
that he now discovers that Lawyer
Campbell sent the money in question to
the party from whom he had received
the claim direct and that that party had
accounted for IL to the First National
Bank and other parties, but that by In
advertence the bank sent on claim
against Mr.. Campbell. Lawyer Perkins
says. In his affidavit asking for dis
missal OF the case:
The mistake not having been dis
covered, l am authorized and instructed
to repair 1t, and to that end l am ready
to consent. on behalf OF the bank either
to a withdrawal of the petition and a re-
moval Of the order to show cause from
the files of this court, or to the entry
OF an order denying the prayer of the
bank"
The order dismissing the application
was granted by Judge Andrews.
Mr.. Campbell told a reporter to-day
that he thought the action OF Lawyers
Peckham, Warner g. Perkins In OBJ
tanning an order before seeing him was
unfair, but. In view of the fact that they
had apologized he said that nothing
further would be done about the matter.
