WANTS TO BET.
BOSS PLATT Is OFF HIS BASE,
So Says Mayor Strong of New York.

NEW YORK, January 30. Mayor
Str ong when shown copy of an
interview with Ex-senator Platt,
and upon being, asked for any COM
ments he might have to make, re-
ferred to the following paragrap his
OF the interview, viz:
"The conduct of the chiefs of
the present reform administration
has been a thousand times more
disgracefnl than any of the known
transactions OF Tammany hall"
The mayor said:
"The author of the above eX-
preston did not make that state
ment unless he thought it was
true aud the mayor will give $500
for any authentic Information that
will prove a case of bribery and
corruption having been committed
by any one Of his appotntees or
subordinates Of those appointees."
The next section was taken up:
sit is no secret that positions
with salaries Of thousands of dol
lars a year have been offered to
republican leaders to betray the
organization"
Replying to this he said he would
give a reward of $500 for any well
authenticated case substantiating
The statement.
Referring to the statement that
neither is it a secret that men who
obtained places are threatened with
dismissal or have been dismissed
when they failed to obey the or
ders OF the boiling bosses, the
mayor said he would give $500 to
any one who will establish the fact

eminent has been dismissed or

above statements in reference to
dishonesty in any department OF
the city of any kind whatsoever, so
that it may be at once stopped"

HURT HER FEELINGS.

An Englishman Has to Pay Mary $4,000.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 3d.
In the United States Circuit court
Miss Mary j. Bennett secured a
verdict of 81 1000 for libel against
John T. Walker. Walker lie q
wealthy Englishman who has
large property interests at De Leon
Springs, Fla, at which place Miss
Bennett was postmistress.
Walker spent much OF his time
at De Leon Springs, and while
there suspected that Miss Bennett
was opening letters directed to him.
Walker went to Washington and
complained to the postmaster gen.
eral about Miss Bennett. When
he returned Walker asserted that
the postmaster general said: 81
believe that woman Miss Bennett)
is opening your letters" Walker
frequently repeated this statement
about De Leon Springs, accrediting
it to the postmaster general, and it
is claimed emphasized it by add
ing: "And / believe so too"
On this Miss Bennett sued for
$40, 900 libel. On the trial Walkers
attorneys admitted their client re-
peated what the postmaster gem
eral is alleged to have said about
Miss Bennett, but claimed it was
privileged. Judge Locke ruled
that the postmaster general was
privileged SO far as that official was
concerned, but that Walker had no
right to repeat what the official
said to the hurt Of Miss Bennett.
The case hinged on this and in con-
sequence Miss Bennett got a ver-
dict for $4,000. Soon after Miss
Bennett brought suit,it is said, the
citizens Of De Leon Springs petit
toned for her removal. Before
this petition was acted on however,
she resigned. Miss Bennett is
now employed in the Tampa post
office as a clerk.
