THIS MAN KNEW HOW.
A Strange Man Wanders Into
the City Council Meeting.
CPL Tell You How to Do That, IS
He Said.
Mayor Fellows Raped and Raped
But the Man Didn't Care
Finally He Got Up and
Tiptoed Out.

Mayor Fellows had a new character
to deal with at the council meeting last
night. He was more unru1y than the
most obstreperous city father, and even
Councilman Roundtree was surprised.
He was a small man that no one con-
nected with the city hall had ever seen.
He came in before the council meeting
was called to order and marched up to
the city clerks desk and engaged him
in a friendly conversation. When the
gavel fell he leisurely walked over to
the mayors desk, took off his coat and
hat and drew a chair up to the table
reserved for reporters. He acted like
a man who owned the mayor and coun-
ell and was there simply to see that
they did his bidding.
He talked to the reporter in an I'M
dertone and the mayor brought his
gavel down hard and said severe things
which made the modest reporter blush
but did not phase the stranger. Finally
things began to liyen up and there was
a discussion about how the contract for
the asphalt repairs should be let.
That advertisement is surely irreg-
u1ar," said Councilman NettelS.
Say, [ will tell you how to do that"
chimed in the stranger.
Here, here said the mayor fierceIy
as he pounded on the desk with his
gavel, you are not member of this
council and you will have to keep
quiet
Mayor Fellows usually serene face
looked like a December storm, but the
cOatless stranger was as composed as
if he had not been rebuked.
A short time afterWard he arose from
the table and tip-toed out of the room
toward the mayors private office. AS
he entered the door Mayor Fellows
caught sight of him. Again the gavel
played a tattoo on the desk.
rs there anything you want, sir?''
he called.
The stranger did not answer. He
stole quietly out into the hall, down
stairs and was gone.

SANTA FE MAKES A SALE.
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Pur-
chases Rolling Stock.
Santa Fe Sells 56 Locomotives
and 12 Cars for $4,000.
The Gulf Has Been Renting This Stock
for Some Time-other Railroad
News of Interest

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway has sold to the Gulf, Colorado
& Santa Fe line Sc locomotives and u
chair cars, coaches and baggage cars.
For this rolling stock the Gulf road will
pay the Santa Fe an amount in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
The contract for the transfer of this
rolling stock was drawn up last week
at a conference between Mr.. Player and
General Manager Polk, General Super
intendent Downs, and superintendent
of Machinery Hancock of the Gulf, Col
orado & Santa Fe. Mr.. Player has been
spending q vacation at Galveston, and
took the opportunity to combine bust
ness with pleasure.
The Gulf line has been renting a por-
ton of the rolling stock mentioned in
the transfer from the Santa Fe for
sometime 1t seems to have been the
opinion of the new management of the
Gulf line, however, that the road should
own all rolling stock used in its opera
ton.

Prominent Cleveland Republicans
Leaving the Gold Standard.

Cleveland, Aug. 25.-One of the best
known Republicans, a veteran of the
late war and man who has been
prominent in Cleveland and Cuyhoga
county for years, yesterday said that
he would vote for Bryan and Sewau.
The man to whom reference is made
is Colonel J. F. Herrick of East Cleve-
land village, an attorney, who has an
Office in The Arcade.
If James G. Blaine were alive I
don't believe my party would be today
where it is said Colonel Herrick yes
terday afternoon. Il don't believe it
would be advocating the maintenance
of the existing gold standard, and I
would not be compelled to vote for
Bryan and Sewal1''
Colonel Herricx's partner, Frank E.
Bliss, is also a Bryan Republican. He
was formerly mayor of Brooklyn viii
Iage and he helped organize a Bryan
club in the Forty-second ward, which
now includes the former village. This
club started with 101 members, thir-
teen of which are Republicans.
Among the members is J. G. Head,
a young Republican lawyer in the Wick
block. He knows Bryan personally.
Eward David, another young Repub-
Hcan lawyer, also has his Office in the
Wick block. He will vote for Bryan
Under the Harrison administration he
was chief clerk of the war records in
the war department.

DAVIS Is REPUDIATED.
Texas Populists Will Not Follow the
Cyclone to Mckinley.

Dallas, Tex. Aug. 25.-''Cyclone''
Davis has created a great stir in the
Populist camp of Texas. His declara-
ton that he would stump the state for
Mckinley because the state Democratic
convention refused to divide the cleo
tora1 ticket with the Populists, has
caused many of the PoDulist leaders
to declare that Cyclone Davis does
not own or control the Populist party
of Texas and cannot pose as an oracle.
Most of these leaders are former
Democrats and not in sympathy with
McKinleyism. Judge H D. Wood,
eIector- at-Iarge on the PopuIist ticket
is one of these. He said:
Davis is sadly lacking in Judgment.
To faunt his declaration in the face
of the Democratic convention is un-
timely. It will defeat the very end he
seeks to achieve, but once for all. 1

electors at-large, and I believe I speak
for my associate, z. o. Call, as well as
all the district electors, that there is

other man standing on a gold standard
platform. I would not vote for my
father or brother standing on the plat
form Mckinley does"
