which the inhabitants of the place called
Politics -
Thereupon the tender heart of the
maiden was moved with pity for the
passersby, whose sight and nostrils were
offended by this grievous thing
So she spake unto herself and said:
Behold, am I not fair and pure and
beautiful? Are rot my garments clean
ana spotless? Therefore viii cast my
zelf into this puddle and purify itl''
But when she had cast herself into
the miro and rolled in it the effect on
the puddle was not perceptible, but the
effect on the maiden -

The very latest fashion IN uncovering
the head as a salute has reached Bos-
ton by way Of New York 1t consists in
lifting the hat from the head and then
suddenly thrusting it straight out be-

as good form, but in the crowded and
narrow streets Of Boston it is most diff

for a man who attempts 1t not only

in apologizing TO the people who were
too near him when he executed the sa-

New Building ON Coaster Island.
Up to a few days ago the United
States Naval War college at Newport

The war college languished for lack of

MAYOR WRIGHT HOME.
Finds Deal Of Official Business
Awaiting Him.


Mayor Wright put in busy day yes
terday after his arrival in the morning
from the East. There were scores of
callers, many of whom were waiting a
chance to urge upon him the names of
friends to fill vacancies on the school
board, the PARK boarI and the board of
public works, six vacancies In all that
must he filled by Monday next. The
mayor said last evening that he would
not make any appointments yesterday.
1t was rumored in the city hall that
George y. Warren, of the Second ward.
had been agreed upon for one OF the
places upon the board of public works.
and that there is lively contest be-
tween the friends of ii. S Fairchid,
William l.. Ames and J. NJ. BANNER for
the other position on the board of public
works. 1t was said that the mayor had
about made up his mind to give the
plum to Mr.. Fairchild when the friends
Of the other candidates made strong
protest, and urged that each should lie
given the place.
As to the positions OH the board of
education, there seems TO be an under

cessors. They were appointed to fill
out uneXplred terms. and have been in
their places but short time; besides
that, they are appOintees of Mayor
Wright. President Willrich, of that
board. was one Of the callers OH tbs
mayor during the morning, and it is
conceded tina. the object of his visit was
to ask the reappointment OF Messrs.
Abbott and Dickson, and incidentally
to sound the mayor on the question as
to whom he will select as clerk OF the
board.
For the two positions on the park
board there was also an activity. A
delegat OH from the Eighth ward waited
on the mayor, and asked that Gates A.
Johnson be named as one of the park
commissioners, but Aberle and John
Dale are thought to be booked.
NJ. j. Bell has been waiting around
the city hall, and looking for the return
of the mayor. He had on his Sunday
best yesterday, and soon after the
mayor reached his Office delegation of
friends from the Sixth ward waited on
his honor, and urged that Mr.. Bell be

HIS STORE FENCED IN.
Right Of the Great Northern to Do
So Is Contested.

The right of the Great Northern Rail.
way company to fence up Park avenue
so as to damage adjacent real estate is
the question involved in the action
brought against that company by James
S. Rockford, now on trial in Judge
Egan's court. Rockford had liquor
store and cigar stand on Park avenue,
where he owned his own buildings.
The store also bordered on Syca-
more street. In May last the rail-
way company fenced up part of the
avenue and used the tracks in front of
the business building as switching
place. The customers CT Rockford were
compelled to make a detour in getting
to his store, and ne claims that his bust
ness has been ruined, and he therefore
demands $4,000 damages. The avenue
was vacated by an order OF the common
council and the property of Rockford
was condemned for railroad purposes,
and the compensation was fixed at
$1,000. The claim is made that the pro-
ceedings leading up to the condemna-
ton were irregular, and that they shall
not operate to deprive Rockford of the
full value of and damage to his prop.
