A Freak Omce Holder

The new city administration has on it's hands a man who threatens to resign an office with salary of 5000 year on the ground that it is a sinecure, and there is nothing for him to do in return for his pay. The oldest Tammany politician never heard of such proposition before, and there is consternation in the wigwam. The remarkable individual is Edward M. Grout, president of the borough of Brook lyn. The charter created the office of bor- ough president, with a salary of $5000 Q year, and provision for private secretary and general clerical force, but it failed to provide any specific work for the presi- dent, which is not made a part of the duties of some other officer or department.
 For more than a month President Grout has been trying to find something to do and has not succeeded. He has received one months salary and feels that he has not earned it. He has asked the mayor to give him something to do or have the municipal assembly increase his power. If this fails to provide work MT. Grout says he will not draw salary that he has not earned, and will resign.

Spoken About It.

Spoken About 1t.
The reader of this newspaper, if he takes
the time and trouble to look carefully
through its columns, will probably find
half a dozen statements tackled onto the
foot of reading notices about medicinal
preparations. Note this fact. In each and
every case as far as Ellsworth is concerned,
as far as the readers knowledge Of the
party is concerned, he might just as well
live in the moon. Make another note of
this. The only remedy on the market
which gives testimony at home, local
proof in every town and city in the union,
to back up its claims, is Doan's Kidney
Pills. They all try it, but they cannot do
it. Why they are unable to do it can
own conclusions. Here is Ellsworth proof

mond, of Third street, employed at the

my back is in good shape and the other

appeared. My faith in Doan's Kidney
Pills has led me to recommend them to
several friends who are suffering some

reetions say, there is no doubt but what
they will be benefited"

A Little Gard Trick.

A Russian priest was so devoted to
the amusement of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be-
fore commencing the church services.
On one occasion, having particu-
larly good hand dealt him, he thrust
the cards into his pocket, intending to
return and finish the game after the
service. Unluckily the cards fell out
on the church floor to the extreme
scandal of the congregation.
The witty priest, however, was fully
equal to the occasion. At the con-
clusion of the services he beckoned up
one of the choristers and asked him
the names of several of the cards,
which the boy knew correctly, He
then suddenly asked the lad the name
of the next saints day, which the
child could not tell.
"seel'' cried the priest, turning to
the congregation. "You teach your
children the names of every card in
the pack and leave them Ignorant of
their religion. Let this be the last
time am compelled to bring playing
cards into the church to shame you,
and picking up his hand he made an
honorable retreat.
