was stated that Assistant City Attor-
ney Phillips had reversed himself on the
question as to the number of votes
necessary to elect King to the posi-
ton. The reports of the meeting in
May, 1895, at which Macaulay was
elected to succeed E. B. Birge show
that the assistant city attorney at that
time rendered the same opinion as he
did yesterday, namely that majority OF
a working quorum was all that was
necessary either to discharge or elect
any one from or to the office. The only
mistake made yesterday, so far as
could be learned, was in not passing
resolution discharging Macaulay be-
fore King was elected. 1t has been
held that there could be no election
until a vacancy has first been made
in any office, but the friends Of King
claim that the resolution passed yes
terday makes him superintendent and
that of itself removes Macaulay with
out formal resolution to that effect
being passed.

at length on the observance of the
Lords supper and what the prayer
book expressly stipulated as to the
manner Of its observance. Extremes

Question Up.

Michael ]. Moriarty proposes to test
the validity Of the ordinance requiring
scavengers and AL other parties to
first obtain a permit from the health

who is a licensed. geavanger, applied to
the health department for a permit to
remove the contents Of a cess pool, but
the permit, so Mr.. Moriarty says, was
refused. Mr. Moriarty then removed
the contents. of the cess pool on West
George street, and was thereupon ar
rested, tried in the municipal court,
yesterday, convicted of violating the
ordinance referred to and fined SO for
such violation. He refused to pay the
fine; and through his attorney applied
to Judge Lewis fora writ of habeas

COPELAND IN THE CHAIR.
Chosen President of the Board of
Public Works.

John Copeland was yesterday unani-
mously elected president of the board
of public works. 1t was expected there
would be a deadlock over the election,
but both Commissioners BanhOlzer and
Hare favored Copeland, and the ele-
walton of the new member as presiding
officer was carried out with neatness
and dispatch.
President Copeland, seen yesterday,
said no action had been taken regard
ing the clerical force in the office, but
that there would probably be a change
in the near future. There is some ques-
ton as to this, however, as both Com
missioners Hare and BanhOlzer claim
to be in favor Of retaining w. F.
Erwin the present incumbent as clerk
of the board.

Harry Wellington Wack on the
Road to Fame.

Monday night, at the Murray Hill thea
ter, Mr.. Harry Wellington Wac1 presented his
star, Paul Cazeneuve to a New York au-
dience in Alex. Dumas highly interesting play
Of The Three Guardsmen," says a New
York paper. The drama was well presented,
and in the main, excellently well carried out.
Mr.. Cazeneuve himself acted with spirit, sin
certy of look, demeanor and action and by
reason Of these qualities in his playing he
happily simulated Dumas gallant character
and carried not only the symPathies Of the
audience with him but won their hearty and
heartfelt applause The actor and play con-
tinue at the Murray Hill throughout the week.
In our opininon Director Wack has we'll
chosen his star, and we understand, moreover,
that he is already in demand for a number Of
theaters in the United States and Canada.
1t would be well for Mr.. Wack if he could Sc
cure either Rosenquest's Fourteenth Street
theater or the Grand opera house before leav-
ing the city His attraction would doubtless
fiji either theater for an engagement Of at
least a week or two.

me sharp pains in the left shoulder

Sarsaparilla. Up to that time I had
not had any appetite, and in particular
ate very little breakfast. Soon after
commencing with Hoods Sarsaparilla,
I began to feel better in every way
and my appetite improved. I did not,
however, notice any change in the alb
scesS until had taken several bottles,
when it gradually grew smaller and
wholly disappeared. Since taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla have gained from
142 to 15S pounds and have a good ap-
petite. I know 1t was Hoods Sar-
saparilla that effected the cure, as I
had tried about everything else. but
nothing did me any good, not even
doctors medicines I shall always have
a good word for Hoods Sarsaparilla."

exhibit include part of the work done

colored children attended the public
schools and it would be hard to sift

for a person to remove the contents of
a cess pool without previously obtain
ing a permit from the health commits
sion to do the work, is void. because
the charter does not authorize or en-

section requiring a permit from the

NEGRO TO BE APPOINTED POST
MASTER.

Judson Lyons is to be appointed
postmaster at Augusta, Ga, says
special from Washington. The Presi-
dent has decided that he cannot give
the registership Of the treasury to
Georgia.
This conclusion was said to have
been reached at the White House dur
ing a conference between the Presi-
dent and Walter Johnson. 1t was
during the consideration of the Au-
gusta case that the President said he
would have to provide for Lyons at
Augusta. He intimated that the name
of Lyons had been considered in con-
nection with the registerShip OF the
treasury, but after due deliberation ne
felt that Georgia had received sur
ficient recognition in the way OF na-
tional appointments, and therefore
Lyons would be provided with local
office.
