ST. LOUIS, March 4-Richard Mans
field, the actor, made some remarks last
Saturday night at the close of one of the
acts of the "Parisian Romance" after
having been called before the curtain by
the audience which have been construed
as a reflection upon St Louis. He said
he rarely made speeches before the cur

in response to applause.
While grateful to those who were pay
ing to gee him, he felt he had not con-
quered St. Louis. He once lost great
sum of money here and had been trying
to recover it ever since He regretted
his inability to draw St Louisans to see
him, for he wanted their dollars.
He played for money just as mucn as

HERE'S A NEW DEAL.
The New Law Makes City Attor-
ney, Clerk and Treasurer,
ELECTIVE BY THE PEOPLE.

Expected-CIerk McFadden and City
Attorney TiIIOtsOn Announce Them
selves.
The coming city election will be COM
plicated by law which has passed the
legislature and will be signed by the
governor today. It makes the offices of
city clsrk, city attorney and city treas
urer elective. These officers have here.
tofore been appointed by the mayor and
confirmed by the council. These offices,
with others, have been of service to the
candidates for mayor and councilman,
as they could be held out as bait to in
nuential workers. The law destroys all
this and the man. who captures these
plums must now go before the people
for endorsement.
There will be lively scramble for the
places OF clerk and city attorney during
she next two weeks which intervene IN
til the city primary. There is not SO
much of an inducement for candidate
for treasurer as his salary ia only $500
per annum, but the other two Offices,
while not fat ones. are among the best
paying in the city.
The city clerk receives q salary of
81, 800 per year, and the city attorney
pie in Topeka who are willing to sacrifice
themselves on the altar of city politics.
There was excitement among the pol
iticians this morning. Many we'll laid
plan was overturned by the simple an
nouncement that the legislature had
passed the bill taking the appointing
power for these Offices away from the
mayor and council Promises count for
nothing now, and the man who is given
she Offices of city clerk or city attorney
must be elected by vote of the people
of the city.
City Clerk McFadden at once an
nounced himself as a candidate for
election, and it is understood that City
Attorney Tillotson will also be candi-
date. -9rcr5 will probably be no contest
for the Office of city treasurer now held
by H. z. Rowley, and he will be elected
by common consent He has held the
office for many years.
The mayor will still have appoint
ments to make, though those which are
made elective are held to be the most
important.
The places which are still appointive
are: City engineer, street Commissioners,
food inspector, superintendent electric
lights, assessor, fire marshal.
