of the water commission, said that the
report is untrue. The policy of the new
administration toward the commissions is
doubtless something that will have to be
waited for.
The recently elected aldermen say that
there has not been a promise of an office
made to any one, and that nothing will
be decided definitely until they meet in
caucus tomorrow night.
You may rest assured" one of thcm
said yesterday, that we have decided on
no one for any office. We have never ss
yet discussed the matter together, ana |
do not know thatswe will until we meet
in caucus. All of this talk about this
man having been promised that office. or
that man having been promised this once,
is stuff and nonsense.
>"You would be surprised to see the
number of applications that have been
sent in for office. For little position
like clerk of the market l suppose there
are as many as twenty applications al
ready on file, and there are large mum
bers of applicants for the other offices
in the same proportion. But we have not
settled on any one yet, you may put thar
down as certain.

fees of those of prominence who are in
favor with the incoming adm.nfstra tion.
There is scarcely one of the newly elected
aldermen who does not have from TWEEN
ty-five to fifty callers a day, and each of
them wants the promise of a vote. But
the newly elected aldermen are not the
only ones who are having the fun There
are several well-khown gentlemen who
are supposed to have a great deal of inlu-
ence with the new administration, in view
of the fact that they took
prominent parts in the campaign, and

tuition from the time he assisted in the Sc

completion. He showed the advantages
the national capital possesses as for the
establishing of a great university.
At the conclusion of Bishop Hursts ad-
dress a subscription was started, and the
congregation and preachers subscribed
literally to the university fund. The sum
raised first reached 1899, but an additional
effort to run 1t UP to $500 was more than
successful and $3.50 was raised.

The XeriScOpe.

There was quite a fair house last
night at the exhibition of the Corbett-
Titzsimmons contest, and the audience
was delighted. Some doubt having
arisen as to the reported foul blow by
ritzsimmons, a reporter for the Adver-
lister was taken on the stage by Man
ager Ed Cooke, and the blow shown.
In the 18th round Corbett led seven
times for Fitzsimmons, when they were
in the center and right of the ring.
After the last lead Fitz forced Corbett
to the left and gave him the short-arm
blow in the heart. Corbett dropped
resting one hand on the floor, and while
in that position FitZsimmons' left came
I'D lightly and tapped him on the chin.
1t was not this, but the blow over the
heart that put Corbett out, but the
mere fact of his being hit when his
hand was touching the floor would
constitute a foul. Mr.. Cooke, who was
at the ringside, states that blow re-
ceived by Corbett in the 18th round
had a very depressing effert upon him,
and he may have felt it later.
