TWO LIVELY CAUCUSES.
They Were Held by the Democrats of
the Siytb n nd Eiubtecuth Wards.


The ballots have been cast the smoke
has cleared and candidates for the
ward offices in the Sixth and Eigh-
teenth wards on the Democratic ticket
have been nominated. This is the re-
suit of yesterdays caucuses in the
above wards, but it is not all settled
yet at least so far as the select coun-
Gil nomination in the Sixth Is con-
cerned.
The lines in that ward We're closely
drawn, promises were made and the
contest went merrily on. Now the
period of reckoning is drawing nigh.
'rhe seeds Of suspicion have been sown
in the minds of the Clarke supporters,
on account of the vote in the First
and Third districts. Repeating is
limited at in the First and the trouble
in the Third grows out of the fact that
eighty votes were cast for Demo-
crat where only twenty-three good,
straight votes of that calibre are
polled.
John F.. Regan wins by a majority
of S5 votes as nominee for select coun-
cii Patrick CalDin, having no oppo-
sition, is nominee for common council.
The remaining offices went by default.
p The fieht was for the select plum and
little attention was paid to the lesser
offices. The vote by districts is as fol-
lows:
First district
a. M. E. Clarke ........................ ,55
b John f. Regan .................,... l43
Second district
NJ L. Clarke ......................... "
John e. Regan ....................... W
Third district ...rH. .t.
NJ ~.
John Il. Regan .....................

NJ e. Clarke .......................... 2Si
. John L. Regan ..,..................... ;19
Regans majority .................. S5
The smaller offices went as follows.
First dstrict-Rcgister of voters,
Frank Needham; Judge of election,
John White. inspector of election,
John Sheridan. Second distrct-Judge
of election, Thomas Ruddy; register
of voters, James OMalley; inspector
of election, Edward Kenny; ward as
sessor John McGreevy.
WILL RUN INDEPENDENT.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: { I wish to announce TO my
friends that owing to a previous agree
ment 1 will run for select council. L
firmly believe that certain circum-
stances were taken advantage of as for
instance, in the Third district, where
il was supposed that only twentN-three
Democratic votes were polled and at
the election eighty were cast, conse-
quently the agreement above men,
toned leaves it open for me to con-
scientiously run independently.
Other circumstances exist in the 9TH
er two districts which strengthen my
intention of running. NJ. E. Clarke.
In the Eighteenth ward surprises of
the most startling kind were in c--ler.
Friends met as enemies and only one
vote decided and under protest at that.
Alderman John j. Kelly was judge
of election and it was charged favored
Mr.. O'Boyle just as much as he dared.
Mr.. Hoban's friends got angry and a
further tale may yet be recorded in the
annals of the Democracy of this ward.

GIFTS FOR THE NEW YEAR.

If all loves gifts of grace or power
Lay spread before my choice this hour,
What should claim as life's best dover?
Dear God, how should I know?
Unfailing love, from sun to sun?
Unfailing wealth, in honor won?
Unfailing health-all gifts in one?
Nay; all Of these may go.
For love, that comes our lives to bless.
Must evermore be counted less
In grace, and might and tenderness,
Than gifts that from us flow.
And health the tender soul may drain
OF power to share the sufferers pain;
And strength is weakness, power Is vain,
That soothes no human woe.
And wealth of treasure. land or gold,
Is only sweet to have and hold
To those whose mercies manifold
In ceaseless gifts o'erflow.
So, from the dazzling, tempting three
How can l choose? Choose Thou for me.
Give or withhold, but let me be
Content Gods will to know.
Give love until l love outpour-
Give pain, that those whose hearts are sore
May feel for them suffer more
Than for my own small woe.
Give wealth, but not for selfish greed
Wealth for the sad worlds pain and need;
Give Thou Thyself, then, rich indeed.
All else may come or go.

well-llnown editor, who died few
years ago, was accustomed to make it
his boast that he hadn't taken a weeks

to his credit to take pride in this vol

riety of reasons, the chief of which was he

When necessity makes one enslave him

had he taken the proper recreation,
might have lived on to green old age;
but no, he took no holiday save the
legal ones which gave his employees
freedom-the Fourth" Labor day,
Thanksgiving day, Christmas day, New
Years, single days. He might reasona-
bly, have let up from Christmas day
to the day after New Years. Indeed,
this willing slave to business might
have let up every day in the year, and
retained the nominal title of editor,
giving to some worthy friend or brother
the Office, with its toll and salary, be-
cause, in any case, he could also direct
and make the tone of the paper in ac-
cordance with his own views. If this
were too great sacrifice, he might
have given himself periodic vacations
and paid salary to an editor, pro tenn,

for he was not only editor but pro-
prietor of the great daily. This man

his lovely flowers were familiar to most

was lacking i'll refined tastes, for his
garden, and his flowers, and his house,

section; indeed, their fame extended
to other cities. He was simply mig
gard of his time; he could not spare
it from business, so the result was,
he was cut off before his time.-Ladies

"HAPPY NEW YEAR"
SaIutatiOn That Means JOY for the
Future-A Good Time to Correct
Mistakes of the Past.

merry Christmas" we have lust
said to our good friends. That means
JOY in the present Happy New
Iear!" is the best salutation. 1t is a
greeting no less choice; for though it
says nothing of the past, it takes in all
the days to come. 1t means JOY for the
future.
That is what we want. Every heart
responds to the salute of the sunrise.
The goodnight" of the eventde is
sometimes but cold comfort The
morning light awakens hope and cheer
in the souls of all. and there is an an
swering CLEAN in every eye open to re-
ceive the daybeams. The old year is
like leaf all blurred and blotted with
erasures and interlineations. an unpre-
sentable task indeed. But the new
year, that is always clean and clear, a
new page for every one of us. Hail TO
the New Year!
To many of us the New Year is
time to correct the mistakes, or wine
out the losses of the old. The year
just passed has been seemingly unkind
TO some There have been dark nights
and dismal. To others the year has
been time of special Divine favors,
new acquisitions, unexpected good for
tune, gracious bestowments. 1t has
never been so well with us before, and
we only ask God to continue His mer-
cies toward us. Whatever is given
must be all love, all undeserved, and
we ask Him simply to remember the
love wherewith He hath loved us in the
past.
So let the New Year be happy one
to us all. With joyous, trustful heart
we may step across it's Threshold
Whatever has been the past, with Gods
love in the heart, and Christ's good
spirit in the life, turn a hopeful eye to
the future, and step forth courageously.
Who knows what Heaven hath to be-
stow? Let it be a veritabe Annus
Domini, new year of our Lord. Then
it will be a blessed year for you and
for us.-Chicago Standard.

USE OF HASHEESH.
1t is Said to BE the Cause of Much
Insanity Among the Natives
of India.

The reports of the asylum at Cairo,
Egypt, as to the native patients there
exhibiting the nature of the mental
disturbance associated with the excess
sive use of hasheesh are said to show
some remarkable facts, it appearing
that in Al per cent. of all the male pa
tients hasheesh alone, or in combina-
ton with alcohol, caused the mental
symptoms, while this was the case with
only seven per cent. of the females.
AS to whether there is a special recog-
nizable form of mental disturbance
produced by hasheesh, authorities con-
clude that in considerable number of
cases in Egypt the hasheesh is the chief
if not the only cause of such mental dis
ease. The usual types of the disease
are hasheesh ntoXication-that is, an
elated and reckless staggering state,
with optical delusions and hallucina-
tons. Acute mania is another form of
hasheesh insanity, incoherence and ex-
haustion; again, there is exhibited a
weak-mindedness, the patients, though
well behaved, being excitable about
small things and unconcerned as to the
future.

the widow, almos: losing her balance at
the uneXpectedness of it.
81 mean will you marry me, of course.
How else could you be my wife?"
This was poser.
But your resolution, Mr.. Rooterby 2"
replied the widow, looking up at him
as shyly as she could, considering her
position.
"What resolution" inquired Mr..
Rooterby.
"Why, the one you made when the
New Year came in, that you wouldn't
marry any woman on earth?"
Mr.. Rooterby was stumpe6, but for
an instant only.
THAT doesn't apply here at ALL" he
said, confidently. you are not on
earth, and you never will be if you cont
accept me right now, for have wasted
time enough, and the thought few
minutes ago that l was going to lose
you in that frightful blaze"
The widow had recovered her senses
again.
Mr.. Rooterby, she interrupted, with
some degree of asperity, don't you see
what spectacle you are making of
yourself? I'm willing to do anything
to get down from this
And it was even a more ridiculous
spectacle five minutes later, when Mr..
Rooterby, in his dressing gown, with
his arm around the widow in a fluffy
smoked wrapper, met the cashier in an
typewriter in something white, and the
firemen trying to turn the hose on all
of them.
Fully insured, and what a happy New
Year it was to the cashier-N. Y. Sun.

Modern Grandmothers.

You wonder where they've gone to- those
grandmothers of yore,
With such quaint old nursery jingles that
we always cried for more,
With their spectacles and aprons, and their
ruffled muslin caps
And their puffs of snowy hair and their
broad enticing laps?"
why, they've gone, dear, with the children
of those old and happy days.
When little ones were little ones, in
thoughts and acts and ways:
When everything was different and simpler
lives were led.
Those days are gone, 1.-THE times have
changed" with that the whole is said.
The grandma Of the modern child" must
crimp and talk and dress.
If not, fear. the modern child might love
her grandma less.
For lads and lassies of these days are criti-
cal. ween,
With a grandma of 'ye olden time" they
wouldn't once be seen.
But after all, beneath the Dress and this
we won't forget,
That's grandmas grandma, now as then,
her love is ours yet,
And If the children turn to her-demand
her love and care,
They'll find that underneath 1t all the
grandma's always there.
