TAMMANY MEN REJOICING.
FOUR CLERKsHIPs FILLED FROM THE wIGwAM-
COMPETENT MEN NEEDED.


Tammany men In this city yesterday were
chuckling over the appointment OF four favorites
In the Wigwam to clerkships with fat salaries In
the Court of General Sessions. Some OF them were
saving that John c. Sheehan had engineered n
pretty deal to provide soft snaps for the Tam
many workers Michael II. DAILY. John J. Ryan.
Samuel Wolf and Carl l.. Lewensteln. Places In
which Tammany worker can get 1900 year for
doing next to nothing scarcer than they wero
before the Tammany overthrow In 1894.
The deal was not regarded by respectable New
Workers yesterday with compacency. On the con-
trary, they declared that the law TO give the IN
creased patronage to the judges Of the Court OF
General Sessions ought not TO have been passed,
because the Court has been too long n refuge Tor
broken-iown Tsmmany hacks and the salaries OF
the court before the law was passed we're
ample to provide all the service the court needed.
If the Judges appointed competent and active men
10 earn the salaries. with the increased number
OF highly paid clerks and other attendants II was
said there would be little effective work, In COM
par!son with the enormous expense of the court.
The spectacle Of judges combining TO divide up
the patronage OF the court was declared TO be
more offensive to the public mind, because one OF
the Judges had been allowed to procure the ap-
pointment OF his own son to one OF the most I'M
portant clerkships.

PROSECUTION.
Victor s. F1echter the dealer in musical instru-
mcnts who was convicted in the Court OF General
Sessions early yesterday morning, was a prisoner
in the Tombs Yesterday awaiting sentence ana
he declared that he was innocent OF the charge OF
receiving the violin that was stolen from the la,e
Professor Bott He sad he was unable 10 unoer-
stand the animus which was so noticeable at MS
trial ms he had been friendly with many MUSICIANS
and did not know that he had an enemy before ne
was accused. He may be sentenced 10 prison LOT
five years.
The extraordinary zeal displayed In the Dstrict-
Attorneys Office in the OF F1echter. and the
remarkable and persistent work to force his con-
y,ctlon. have puzzled a number OF New-Ycrkers and
have aroused suspicion that the enmity OF some
person whose name has not been disclosed IN the
proceedings was the cause OF the unusual activity
There have been criticisms 10 the effect that the
hard work to secure the conviction OF Flechter was
i'm markell contrast with the shiftless ana lnef-
fective attempts to convict some murderers WHO
appeared 10 have political influence and were per-
ni!tted TO escape from the meshes or the law.

Material for n romance Is contained In a hunt for
an alleged heiress by private detective of this city
II has been in progress for years, II the detectives
statements are be believed. and while the search
has resulted In the discovery OF lost family papers
the woman who ought to have inherited n large
estate in England may have died In poverty. The
case differs somewhat from the ordinary search for
helrs for supposed vast estates In England. In
most such there are estates only In the minds
OF persons who want TO get pay for investigating
the claims OF other persons who are willing to be-
lcve that they heirs In this case the detective
says that there is some actual property which is
awaiting n rlghtfu heiress. ard the only trouble Is
find tho heress.
The family name IL not divulgcd but II Is ns-
serted that an Engllshman who came to this country
In 1850 TO escape for forgery, and took the
name OF Kensington. inherited a large fortune In
England lie and his wife died without receiving
the property and their daughter disappeared. In
n long search for the daughter who was said to be
known at one time Theresa Hendricks. the de-
tective has found papers which her father lost In
the South. and which were carried TO Los Angeles,
CAL before they found. There Is some reason
70 believe that the helress died In this city several
years ago. and that tho long search Will be fruit

competent mechanic can fix, and often the
part has to be ordered from the factory,
thus cutting off what might otherwise be
an enjoyable trip. A young gentleman
tending to accompany us to Chattanooga,
Tenn. He was mounted on a new, so-caIled
high-grade wheel, costing $50, and was
quite enthusiastic over his purchase. When
about twenty-five miles out, and going
down steep hill, he lifted the handle bars
completely out Of the tubing-wrenched off
or course, he had to take the train back;
and !! felt sorry for the young fellow, as he
only had weeks holiday. Both our wheels
have seen rough service, but we have never
had breakdown or paid out dollar for
repairs.
Another thing that tourists should dc is
to carry sufficient clothing and not be
afraid of the little extra weight, as a few
pounds does not make the difference people
think
Another good rule if the cyclist would
avoid disappointments is never to ask any
one except Wheelman about the road
ahead. Yes; it's mighty billy, and not so

Now is the best time of year for a trip

NATIONAL CIRCUIT RACES.
Preparations Being Made for the oc-
tOber Events.

Already preparations are being made for
the national circuit races, which will he
held in this city in October. There appears
to have been some misunderstanding about
the dates A two days sanction was asked
for and, though in his letter Chairman
Gideon assigns October 1G and IL as the
dates the sanction itself has been mace
out for only enc day October IL. During
The week letter was forwarded to Chair
man Gideon calling his attention 10 the
matter and rogue sting that he forward a
sanction for the two days meet.
The circuit races will be handled in an
entirely different manner from other races
this year in this city. An organization OF
well-known cyclists and business men, llri-
tied in number will take charge OF the en-
tire affair and conduct everything. The
park and park privileges will be rented
outright and the organization has fun
charge of the two days meet, the park
people having nothing al all TO 90 outside
of keeping the track In condition. The ar
rangements for the deal have not az yet
been completed, and will probably not Toe
closed until reply is received from Chair
man Gideon.
The names Of the people behind the
scheme will not he announced until every
thing is completed. The prizes for the
races will equal those of the Arlington
Wheelmen meet and be sufficient induce
plent to bring all of the circuit cracks in
this city, in addition to the fast men who
attended the race last Saturday. 1t is prob
able that the admission to the grounds will
be increased TO fifty cents, general admis-
SIGN, though this has not been decided up
on. Fuller particulars are expected to de-
Veiop later.

look promises to be the most successful on
the national circuit. One of the local riders
Fred. A. L. Schade, calculated to enter the
amateur races on the program for the meet
He was quite sure of going, and had made
arrangements to leave this city yesterday
afternoon on the train. SO as to get at the
place few days ahead of time and become
familiar with the track. AS the place is
outside the limit allowed for amateurs II
was necessary that a special permit be Sc
cured from the chairman of the racing
board. giving him permission to compete at
the meet. telegram forwarded to
Chairman Gideon, in hopes of securing a
speedy favorable reply. 1t was not thought
that refusal would be made. Schade re-
ceived a letter yesterday morning from the
captain Of the racing board, In which the
special permit was refused. The letter
stated that enough special permits had
been Issued to Schade this season to COM
pete in events away from home-almost too
many, in fact, for an amateur.
