The First City Election.

The city election here Tuesday was
a very spirited tho quiet, orderly and
good humored contest. The peoples
ticket was elected in its entirety all
being chosen by safe majorities, tho
not so large as expected. Probably
fairer election was never held in Vini-
ia, and there were few, if any, illegal
votes polled. A few attempts were
made to vote by parties not entitled,
but in each instance so far as noted,
it was promptly prevented. There
seems to be general satisfaction and
acquiescence in the result and the
towns in the hands of safe men, and
an era Of unprecedented prosperity
may be confidently looked for. Fol-
lowing is the vote:

 & Washington, Jan. 10.-The interstate commerce commission to-day in an opinion by Commissioner Clements, an- nounced it's decision in the case of Full CT D. Galloway of La Grange. Ga, against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company. Western Railway of Alabama and Atlanta and West Point Railroad company. The case involved the reasona ableness of freight rates from New Orleans to Atlanta, Fairburn, Palmetto, Newman and Hogansville. The commission decides that the rates from New Orleans to La Grange are unreasonable in themselves, and rela- lively, as compared with the rates to Atlanta and the other places mentioned. The rates from New Orleans are higher for the shorter distance to La Grange than for the longer distance over the same line to Hogansville, Newman, Pal metto and Fairburn, all local points on the Atlanta and West Point road, and such higher rates are also held to be in violation of the long and short haul clause. The rates from New Orleans to La Grange are made by combining the through rate to Atlanta, with the local rate back from Atlanta to La Grange.

BRITISH REGIMENTAL. PETS.

One of the articles in the January number of the English illustrated is that on Regimental Pets. One of the most favored of these was Bob" the regimental dog of the Second battalion Royal Berkshire regiment. Bob ac- companied the Sixty-sixth of Afghan istan in 1879, and distinguished himself highly at the battle of Maiwand. Though man after man was cut down he kept on running to the front, bark ing fiercely at tn enc ny, untilAat length bullet laid him low. The wound, how ever, was not fatal. After a painful journey of six weeks, Bob" found his way to Kandahar, recognized his old corps, and accompanied it once again into action. When the regiment return ed to England the next year he received A year later Bob was run over and killed in the Isle of Wight.
 Jock" was the name given to a dog who. attached himself to the band of the Forty second (Black Watchl He had a favorite trick of begging for a penny, upon receipt Of which he would trot off to the canteen and buy large biscuit. Once the canteen man thought to get the best of him, and only hand ed him a small broken biscuit in ex- change for his penny. Jock" made a great fuss, running up and down the canteerl, bowling and barking, until ul- timately one of the men gave him another penny Immediately Jock Jumped up to the canteen, showed his coin, and bolted out to the canteen of the next regiment, where his purchase was duly made. From that day he ta- booed his own canteen, and whenever he got a penny only put in an appear ance there to show his money, and then took his custom elsewhere. If all stories be true, this is one also.
 The pets which occupy the highest po- sition in the service are the. goats be- longing to the Welsh regiments, "Taf- l fy'' who belongs to the Thirteenth bat talion of the WelsK regiment, is tre- i mendous fellow, and marches at the i head of the regiment. He was present | ed to the battalion by the queen in 1894 On one occasion he took urnhrage at the presence of volunteers so close to his regiment and in the course of a rather contemptuous tour of inspection came across the guard tent. He proceeded te | turn out the guard" which he did very | effectively. Then he amused himself 1 by chraging and sending the startled volunteers flying, until finally the latter 1 had to go for him with the butts of thei, rifles and brooms. In the end "Taffy 1 quietly trotted off, apparently well sat. | isfled with his fun.

ture of values in this country. There was also some selling to realize in con- tinuation of Saturdays profit taking. The readiness of traders to realize gave weight to the opinion of some of the professionals that technical conditions were not, good at present for a prolong- ed rise. 'This opinion Is based on a be- lief that large lines of stocks are al- ready in the hands of speculators await ing rise. These holdings, 1t is argued, might be dislodged by slight reaction and passed to the hands of large com bined interests. Doubtless the fear of some such manoeuvre caused some of the smaller operators to pause in their buying to-day. It also gave confidence to the bears who sold some of the lead ing stocks quite aggressively.i The market was, however, dull as compar- ed with the latter part Of last week. The recent activity of Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling, one of the few Ohio coal roads to escape a defeat on its obliga- tons, was extended to-day to Hooking Valley and Wheeling and Lake Erie. The common stock of the former rose over a point and the preferred stock over points. The Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks also advanced, but moved
 in quite an cratic manner Tennessee
 Coal was also strong apparently in
 sympathy with this group. Illinois Gen.
 tral was in demand on the strength of
 it's statement of earnings which showed
 an increase in gross for December of
 nearly $459000, and in net for Novem-
 Der of $503,43S, as compared with the corresponding periods last year. The buying of Northern Pacific stocks was also very heavy, blocks running from 1000 to 4,000 shares changing hands
 quite frequently. As result the pre-
 ferred closes 1as higher at 62&, which is
 a new high record. Michigan Central,
 Missouri Pacific. Pittsburg, C., c. and St. Louis, Manhattan and Metropolitan Street Railway were other stocks to
 show strength. New York Central, on | the other hand, lost a point on realizing. There was some disappointment in view of Saturdays bank statement, the con- | tinued flrmness of money which did not | loan below per cent. Foreign ex- l change also continued firm,
 The DOIlQ HdTkGl was Quile dCliVS lo- l day and prices held firm in face of

pAUpEr AND HIS CHARACTERS.

DAUDET AND HIS CHARACTERS.
 Daudet knew most of hls characters. As an under-s secretary to De Morny, he picked up gossip about the kings and queens who took refuge from revolu- tionary subjects in Paris. But he was unjust to the king of Naples, to whom he gave the title king of Illyria. The cap he made for Francis II. would, however, have fitted one of his half- brothers. Daudet had glimpses of this royal family of Hanover from the rus tic lane in which he lived when they re- sided in the Avenue de Montaigne. That lane went from the avenue near the corner of the house through the fields, of the Quartier Marboeur It was cu- rious little England. Bookmakers. coachmen, jockeys, had lath and plaster villas on each side. Cows and goats grazed in tiny paddocks. Daudet had as fellow lodgers Hanoverian and Eng fish servants of George V. All was fish that came to his net. He sketched the blind king and the Princess Frederick with a true pencil. But he was unfair to Dr. Campbell, who figures as Jenkins beside the Due de Morals (de Morny's) death bed A better person never lived than Campbell. Ida de Barancy in "Jaok' was thought to resemble most exalted lady who had the fatal gift of beauty.
 | Daudet had lurking kindness for sinners He pitied them, for he could | not see how in the long run they could succeed in anything. But the self | righteous were more offensive to him. think he was right in saying that men and women who pass for having never sinned are unpleasant companions, and, from the day of judgment standard, I perhaps the worst sinners of all |. The sensibility shown in Jack" and other 1 works did not extend to animals. Dau- det, thought Cigalier, was deaf to the chirp of grasshopper and cricket. Birds have no place In his rural sketches. 1 He could not understand the touching ! beauty of the Hast friend" at the poor mans funeral. Animals were simply brutes to Daudet. At best they were warnings to human beings not to live
 merely to eat, sleep and leave posterity behind them. They sometimes were vices incarnate. Such were the fox. the serpent, the scorpion. What a selfish
 heartless thing the ant was! It had a head, if you will. but 1t was the sort of head that organizes labor in sooty fac tory towns. The dog was the beastliest ! beast of any. Daudet fled from every drawing room where he say lap-dog.- = | Paris Letter London Truth.
