laghan ticket.
Mr.. J. w. Richardson stated to a
friend this morning that he is out OF
politics and would not be Il candidate
for auditor
The candidacy of Col. Newcomb. for
the mayoralty seems to be gaining
ground steadily and quietly. His
friends are urging him to make the
race single handed and not to put out
an aldermanic ticket, relying on his
friends TO elect him good council to
help him carry out the reforms embOd-
led in his platform.
The treasury candidacy of Mr.. T..
b. Johnson has struck all sides be
tween wind and water and much has
been the figuring on this phase of the
situation. Such a strong candidate lis
he that had he announced a week or
ten days earlier he could have had
his choice of getting on any of the
tickets. An effort has been made to
induce him to accept a place with one
of the two remaining uncompleted
tickets, but so far his "middle-of-the
road" stand has prevailed against all
corners.

An ErActinx BnRxAr.

Several beggars in Pera own a large
amount Of property. One well-known
man has houses worth 10000 nras, and
yet is to be seen begging in filthy rags.
A poor goyerness, who was very charit-
able, used to give him piastre twice a
week. One day she missed a Ira
(pound), and thought she must have
given it to the beggar by mistake. He
had gone home for the day, SO she fol-
lowed him 20 his house on the Taxime.
He received her graciously, looking like
a pasha at least in his magnificent
robes. 81 never like to lesE a good

MlLlsfS' VERSATILITY.
IL IL Said He Was the Greatest Painter
of the ARo,

For period of nearly so years Millais
has been before the public as an artist
and for the greater part of that time
he has sustained his reputation as the
greatest painter of his day, says Serb,
ner's. He has painted history, romance,
poetry, landscape, portraits and has
made his mark in all.
No one else has attempted so wide a
range of subjects, few have shown a
greater variety of invention or APP
preached him in his command over
tools and materials. 1t is only within
the last few years that he has shown
any decline Of power and it was only
the other day that Mr.. Watts, his great
colleague, observed to me of one of
his pictures in the present exhibition
Of the Royal academy Qs96) that as
painting 1t was good as ever"
His art is in no sense ideal; his
Imagination cannot body forth things
unknown or rise to any great heroic
height; he has never attempted to repre-
sent rapid or violent action, but inside
these lines his powers are splendid and
exuberant.
An almost matchless draughtsman, a
colorist of great truth and force, n
painter of extraordinary initiative pow
er, with handling not always pleasant,
perhaps but of the utmost sureness
and freedom, he has left body of work
which both for quality and quantity
has scarcely been equaled in modern art.
Indeed, the whole of his work has been
so sincere and full of fresh life, it re-
fleets so forcibly his own personality
and the living spirit of his day, that it
Is difficult to believe that it can ever be-
come embarrassing to posterity.

Salvationists Who Use a Grsphophone In
Preaching.
The most up-to-date religious organi-
zation, the Salvation Army, which never
misses an opportunity of exciting the
curiosity and interest of the crowd, has
secured the services of the graphophone,
says the New York Press. There are
many thousands of villages and small
towns all over the country where such
a machine has never been heard, and
where its introduction is calculated to
evoke establishment and delight.
The graphophone consists of large
horn and stand which will enable an au-
dience of from 100 to 1000 persons to
hear song as distinctly as if sung by
the individual, and it's accessories COM
prise Is records, including an address
by the commander, and also one by the
consul, and Ii army songs, band Sc
lections, etc; Is blanks by which home
records can be made; q travelling case
90 carry 80 records. and, finally, three
hearing tubes. \ fun meeting similar
to those held in New York and London,
with complete band accompaniment,
will be given by the aid of the machine.
When Il detachment strikes Il village
that it has been decided to capture, the
soldiers will proclaim in every direc-
tlon the marvels of the Seance that is to
be held, and the curiosity of the inhahi-
ts.nts having been aroused, they may
be counted upon to appear in full force
at the place and time appointed.
The machine will do the rest, even
asking for the collection. Then the vii
layers will sit in Amusement and listen
to the assistant commanders voice,
while she. perhaps, is thousands OF
miles away.

POLITICAL CHIPS GATHERED.

POLITICAL CHIPS GATHERED.
The week in politics started in yes
terday rather slowly and not much
was dong, except a saloon canvass be-
ing made, the Levy people on the
west side of the San Pedro sreek
and out toward the I. and G. n. rail
way depot. the Callaghan people on
the east side of the river and creek
and among the saloons out toward
the Southern Pacific depot, while
some of the ElmendOrf supporters
were seen lunching at saloons near
Alamo plaza and some found time to
take in the farce comedy at the opera
house or to play Il game of billiards
at the Beethoven club house.
The ElmendOrf people gave it out
this morning that their ticket would
be completed today, though who will
be chosen for alderman of the Fifth
ward. or for auditor. treasurer and
city attorney, was not stated.
The place as collector has been as
signed City Marshal Druse and it was
stated this morning that he has at last
consented to make the race.
In this event, and if Mayor Elmen-
dorf is elected, Capt. Frank Roberts,
second assistant city marshal, is Stat
ed by his friends in the party for the
office of city marshal. He is popular
with the police officers and popular
with the press men and the citizens
at large. These selections will add
great strength to the mayors ticket.
In the event of the reelection Of
Mayor Elmendorf, the Office of city
engineer will remain in Engineer
Pancoast's charge. This is the most
important department at present, to
the taxpayers, as the proper finishing
of the big sewer contracts is involved
II is patent to all, as one citizen said
this morning, that a change in the en-
cheering department, until the sew.
ers are finished, would cause delay
and entail many drawbacks, and if
a less competent engineer were ap.
pointed the change would be costly.

tonight posted at headquarters. When

HOW DOGS ARE STUNTED.
Methods Employed In the Manufacture OF
Toy Terriers.

netnoos EmpIoyou IN inc hhnulhCturs ot
Toy Terriers.
There is an era of tiny dogs in Eng
lish society. The more diminutiye a
parcel of canine flesh that you can pos
sess the more are you a swell, says the
Toledo Blade. But alas! How many
feminine readers who delight in the
miniature doggies know that they are
an artificial product?
There is in London an establishment
devoted entirely to the stunning Of the
onimsls. The proprietor is an e2-breed-
er of fighting dogs, but ne now finds
nore profit in rearing the lilliputian
CANNES, for which he has a wide repu-
tation. He does not claim to be the
originator of the process, for he says
that all dog men know of the dwarf
ing powers of alcohol, but he asserts
that he Is the only man in London To
adopt the principle Systematically.
His method is as follows: The pup
destined TO be stunted is taken from its
mother when few hours old and when
il begins to whine for sustenance 1t is
fed with a warm decoction of gin and
water. Deprived of milk, IL takes to
this readily. When ii reaches a certain
age alcohol in various forms constitutes
the animals sole diet. The pups do not
die nor do they develop. They soon
cease to grow at all. After a generation
or two of mating the muoh-prized lilli-
putian canine is obtained.
