MCULLAGH rs LEGALLY CHIEF:
Justice Beach Decides That Ne Coupetitiv,
Examination wns Necessary.

Justice Beach Decides That Ne Competitive
Examination Was Necessary.
The motion of Joseph Murphy, as a tax
payer. to enjoin the Comptroller from paying
the salary of John McCullagh, Chief of Police.
on the ground that his appointment was illegal
because he was not subjected to a competitive
examination. was denied by Justice Beach of
the Supreme Court yesterday. A temporary
injunction against payment Of his salary was
issued when the proceeding began.
The motion was opposed mainly on two
points, that a taxpayer cannot test the right to
Office in a taxpayers action. and that it was
not necessary that a candidate for Chief should
be examined. On the first point the Justice
says that the authorities are not clear, and re-
Rarding the second, referring to the act creating
the office. he says: "No examination is herein
required, and the reading in of additional words
to constitute q proviso that appointment by
resolution means after a civil service examine
ton Is unwarranted in the absence of any am
bigutty OF expression or any call by way of statu-
tory con truction."
At Police Headquarters the decision was re-
ceived without surprise. 1t had been con-
sidered a foregone conclusion. Nobody there be-
lieves that the case will be appealed. Chief
McCullagh smiled and said merely that being
all right, he knew he would come out in good
shape. The Chief will draw three month";
salary on Dec. /. He Is now considered q
sure winner In tho race for tho Chieftaincy of
the Greater New York.

The fight for the Tammany Hall leadership in
the Second Assembly district grows hercor as
the date for the primaries draws near. In three
weeks the thing will be settled one way or an
other; tho leadership will fall again into the
hands of Patrick Olivier or Frank O'Connor,
who, elected as a compromise candidate
and at present the leader, will. continue to
conduct Tammany'Hall affairs in what tho Wig
wan folks call their banner district.
Meyer Greenberg. q member of the General
Committee in the district, who trains with tho
Common faction, said yesterday:
''The people of this district don't want Diver
as leader again. II Diver should by any chance
get the leadership there would be q revolt In

mean that any of Tammany's members would
desert. Tho first idea of q Tammany man is to
obey orders. and they'll always do it down In

Senator Tim Sullivan. has always been a great
friend of Diver, and Florrie was made to be-
neve that yarn about Croker wanting Diver
for leader. He made Foley believe 1t, and
Foley went over to Diver, not because he
wanted 10, but because he had an idea IT was
orders. and he is a Tammany man to the back
bone. He is sorry for 1t now. He says he
would give anything to get out of the hole he's
in, but doesn't see how he caH. Alderman
elect jeremiah Cronin went over to Divyer the
same way. He sees how he's been fooled and
feels the same as Foley over the matter. Men
like Foley and Cronin going over to Diver is
likely to create the impression that he has won

We are right in tho fight and mean to elect

BRYAN ON NEBRAsKA,s vorE.
He Dsauces Solid Comfort from His Analysis
or the Returns.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 29.-Mr. William J. Bryan
to-day gave for the first time his analysis of the
vote in his own State. 1t shows. SO he asserts,
that the fusion candidate for Judge polled o
larger plurality than Mr.. Bryan himself did last
year, although tho vote was smaller. Mr.. Bryan
explains the progress made since tho Presi-
dental contest by pointing out that the anti
Republican majority 10 greater in Nebraska this
year than ever before. He says:
I'm 1896 the fusion electors representing the
Democrats. Populists. and silver Republicans
of Nebraska received an average plurality of
$1,000 over the Republican electors and a ma
jority of s,143 over all. This year tho fusion
candidate for Supreme Judge received a plural
iy of 1888 over the Republican candid ate and
a majority OF IL 1879 over all. This gain of 759
in plurality and 1898 in majority was secured
In spite OF a decrease of about 10000 of the
total vote polled. The gold Democrats polled
less than half as many votes this year as last"

MONDAY NIGHTS PLAY.
Lord Bu1wer Lytton's Great Romantic
Play of Richelieu.

One OF the greatest romantic parts
ever written in English is the part of
Cardinal Amand Duke de Richelieu,
the great soldier Cardinal of France,
and Lord Lytton's finest work. In
the history of France no name save
Napoleon is as great as Richeleu who
ruled France with such diplomacy and
great love for his country that his name
is immortal in history. His great
maxim was just to conciliate all men,
if not to crush. A great statesman,
ripe scholar, soldier of France and
the Cardinal king. The role of the
Cardinal was first played by the great
Macready in England and his perform
ance created a sensation. The scene
where Richelieu hurls the curse of
Rome against his foe, De Baradas, is
one of the strongest in the English
drama and one which has tested the
power of all actors who have essayed
the role.
In this country Edwin Forrest was
the original and next to him, Edwin
Booth was the greatest representative
of the great Cardinal. Lawrence Bar
rett considers it his best part. The
character combines all emotions, fire
dignity, craftsmanship and love of
country and all the prominent actors
of England and America have strived
to reach the pinnicle of fame with
the mantle of Richelieu upon their
shoulders.
In playing the part of Richeieu
William Owen has brought himself
into prominence before the American
public and in short notice, as his
acting is considered by the critics as
great piece of work. Besides he is
the youngest actor who has been sue
cessful in the great undertaking and
has been rightly considered the legi-
innate successor of Edwin Booth. Mr..
Owen has made a great study of the
part reading up all works Of the French
period in which Richelieu was the
greatest leader. At present the char
acter of Richelieu is the theme upon
which the great play " Under the Red
Robe" now now runningi in New York
is founded upon.
The play affords great scope for
dressing being in the period Of Louis
XIII. The stage settings are beauti-
full, especial pains being taken in the
decorations of the Cardinals palace
Seats are now on sale at Wood
ward q Conley's drugstore.

AN EXCURSION LINE.
Kenosna well Supplied with Boats of All
Kinds Now.

Kenosha harbor is only just begin
ming to be appreciated by the lake
craft, and as consequence there is no
lack of facilities for our people to get
out onto the lake either on an eXcur-
sion or in with the freight boxes. The
latest addition to the feet here is the
steamer Queen of the Lakes" She
ran out of here Thursday night with an
excursion consisting of fully 200 people.
The field appeared so inviting that the
captain of her decided to run out
another excursion tonight and to make
Kenosha three days in the week reg
ularly until the excursion season is
over, which will be the latter end OF
September. 1t has been decided to
run an excursion out of here for moon :
light trips on the lake every Tuesday
and Friday night throughout the sea-
son and every Sunday afternoon take
one to Milwaukee at 1:30 o'clock, stop
ping at Racine on the way. The boat
will reach Milwaukee at o'clock and
returning leave dock there at 1870
o'clock and reach here at IL, touching
at Racine in passing.
The same boat has also decided to
run out from Racine and Waukegan
two nights each week at each place.
The excursions from Waukegan will
be Monday and Thursday evenings
and at Racine Wednesday and Satur-
day evenings.
The fare for three hours trip dur
ing the evening is to be % cents, in
Guiding the music and dancing on
board free to all. The trips to Mil
waukee will be 40 cents for the round
trim.
