Behind all this Is a story. A week ago
several men, among them w. Scott Moore.

beat the Board OF Works before the matter

Friday night the crowd met again and
Pendergast demanded the settlement of the
bet. He told of the progress OF the re-
pairs and said that Pierce was either vio>

building permit and thus beat the Board
OF Works. Moore declared there had been
no permit issued and that he had not lost
the bet for the end had not yet come. The
matter ended there. but work was con>
tinued on the building yesterday. The

DEATH OF ELI THOMPSON.
Ex-Chief of Police and n Well-Known
Character In Town.

Eli Thompson, former chief of police and
later city marshal died yesterday at his
home, No. Hester street, after an illness
OF many months. Mr.. Thompson was a
well-known person in this city, having been
born in the county Aug. 81, 1881. He was a
son OF John Thompson, one of the earliest
settlers of the county. He was q carpen-
ter, but afterwards was engaged in the
lumber business. AS young man Mr..
Thompson was a leader in many of the
organizations of the city. He was a MEM
Der of the volunteer fire department, and
was recognized as one of it's best workers.
He was elected chief Of police by the
Council in 1871 without any solicitation on
mis- part, and it is said that the present or
ganization is practically the outgrowth OF
the reforms he introduced. When he took
charge the department was that Of a small
country town, in which there was sys-
tenn and no attention to discipline. There
was no detective, force at that time and
much of the work now done by this de-
partment was then done by men detailed by
the chief or by himself. In this work Mr..
Thompson often left the city to trace GRIM
mails. He never wore a uniform, and his
farmer-like face attracted the card sharp
ers, who then could be found on almost
any railroad train: 1t is told of him that
on one of these trips. he was returning
from Chicago, he saw three sharpers work.
ing a farmer. He was asked to join the
game, which he did. The sharpers were
succeeding very well in their work when
they reached the Union Depot. AS the
train pulled into the station three patrol
men, who were there in response to a
telegram sent by Mr.. Thompson, placed the
three men under arrest. They were very
much surprised to find that they had at
tempted to bunco the chief OF police.
The Republicans nominated Mr.. Thomp-
for city marshal in 1870, and he was
elected. After serving his term he re-
tired from politics and has not since held
any office. In 1856 he went to Florida,
and while there contracted malaria, which
probably shortened his life. The climate
did not suit him and he returned to this
city, While in Florida he built work.
shop for Thomas A. Edison. whom he had
known I'm this city years before, when Edi-
son was telegraph operator. After his
return from Florida he was appointed for
police duty at the Union Station, which
place ne held until little more than a
year ago, when his failing health CON-
PEELED him to give it up. His genial man
ners and almost perfect memory of faces
made him valuable man in this position.
Mr.. Thompson was brother OF Mrs.
Alexander jameson, mother of Drs. Henry
and Alexander Jameson, who recently died.
He leaves widow and four children-Mrs.
Horace f. Ryan. John and George Thomp-
son, Of this city, and Edward Thompson.

The funeral services will take place to-
morrow at 10 a. m, at the family residence.

Latest Novelties in Ladies' Materials.
Velvet is one of the most popular materials
this winter. 1t is extensively introduced as
trimming to give an additional artistic effect
to the toilette. Cloaks and wraps are made
of this fabric. One of the newest variety is
MORE velvet, which is chosen for carriage
cloaks and those worn over evening dresses
Even richly repped silks have the sleeve of
velvet both in lengthwise and crosswise reps
Then come in the new bright colors ponceau
red, turquoise blue, mauve, cerise and from
light to orange yellows. A novelty in
woollen fabrics is woven in open squares in
imitation of the perforated cloths and velvets.
1t is usually in large plaids, and the small
open spaces are in the corners of the squares.
The fabric is of solid color, so that it may be
effectively used above a contrasting color, as
pale tan with open squares showing pink silk
beneath; dark blue with cerise showing
through, or black over green lining. No
fashion magazines can furnish better and
more reliable information on this subject than
the popular Mcdowell journals, coming as
they do from the fashion centre of the world
In price they range as follows Both La
Node de Paris and Paris Aibum Of Fashion,
$3.50 each for years subscription. or 35 cents

ORIGINAL POETRY.
Your New Year.

your New Year.
A Happy New Year bright with truth,
Renew, enrich or make your youth.
The Old his hoary mantle spread
And left with softest downy tread.
His tears of parting from you, froze
AS you, your hand in his, to close
Refused. And when you said good bye"
HIS breath was colder and a sigh
Or silent stiffness DER him spread
AS he was .hrouded with the dead.
But do not weep-the tears of men
Can never call him back again.
The stars which e'er their vigiIs keep
While we are helpless ard asleep,
VIII in the morn their journey take
And watch the Old Year when we wake.
Perhaps the past, beyond the sky
Is to the stars as we are nigh,
And while they smile on us below
AS many smiles above bestow.
Then live to-day, live grandIy, live,
And to the now your being give.
To live you must not simply try.
The love-light fingers in your eye,
And He Who kindly placed it there
Has bidden-'give the world its share"
Then, FURNISHED beauty, burn more bright
Turn, truest truth, to truer light;
Yield not your youth to youthful yearnina
But learn to live, and live while learning.
