On the Corner.

4hiho '"llcy gave ne II "trip 10
Granitevile last night and | came back
in the engine with McQugo, so that
was able to arrive as the minutes of the
last meeting were being read After
many corrections. "The Boss ordered
that they be placed in the vault of the
city for future reference. The openin
business being ended, several new
members rode the donkey who acts as
the animal of muster then The officers
hada council of war and decided that
the "lnspeclor" should he mobbcd if he
printed any more of the doings of the
"On the Corner Club" This served as
a warning that must either suppress the
truth or take the same treatment as II
Spaniard Will receive when they tackle
the American soldiers, | have no rca-
son to desire any such treatment and
am III the business of inspecting in the
cauae of right, so decided not to yield
to the demands of this club of loafers
and kickcrs. Thinking | might yet
steal march on the wise heads Of the
corner, secured PERMISSION of ''Billy''
Marsh to occupy the board on the tel
ephone pole near the corner, this would
enable me to gain the information dc
sired. Taking my seat on that platform
listened to the conversation and subjects
under discussion. This is what | gath
cred in substance: .Giles" knows how
to show hiscolors, the Maytlower is as
gaily Decorated MS any pleasRss yacht,
and any Spaniard who attemps TO enter
the yard of the geniel alderman from
the .famorsn ward will catch II shot
from those powerful cannons. Giles
will prohaly fire a salute when the com
pany bids farewell to home and friends,
was the opinion of those on abe corner.

Republic was visible, Better take up

A wcIknown Commercial drummer
who happened to be passing the crowd
on hi way to the hotel, informed the
gang that they make too much noise
nights and thai he should ask Chief OF
Police Ilowland to disper>e the "Club
if the disturbance continued. The cor
ner club know Warren will do his duty
and will not be so loud in the future, so
the Inspector discovered. Inc man
