TOO MUCH FOR HER NERVES.
Clerk to Go Into Another
Business.

'T used to work for collecting agency
in one OF the northern cities" said woman
perfumery drummer, "and my experience
was tolerably exciting. My duty was to sit
at a roll-top desk In the office and imperson-
ate the proprietor. Light work, did you say?
Just you wait. All day long men would
come in to hammer the boss. Where's tho
fellow that sends out these blackmailing
letters? was the usual salutation. Then l
would smile sweetly and say: i am the
proprietress; what can / do for you!'
"At this the visitor would look dazed, ut
ter things under his breath and walk off. Oc-
casionally the real proprietor would peep
through an inside window to see whether
was still alive, for / must admit our letters
were calculated to give man the homicidal
mania.
''Well, things went along all right for
nearly month. There was one day little
wiry chap walked in carrying thick cane.
Where's the boss? he said. gave the usual
fairy story. Don't believe word OF it, he
replied, still, l can't beat woman He
thought awhile, and something in his eye
made me feel creepy. I'll have to take it out
of the fixtures, he said, finally, and upon
my word, he broke up every blessed thing in
the shop.
"He did it quickly and systematically and
you never saw such an awful ruin. Iscrcamed
murder, but it did no good and he went right
| ahead. As a windup he smashed the chan
delier and bade me polite good.day. When
| the proprietor came in he had hit. 1t was
after that l went into the perfumery busi-
ness. The work is harder, but 1t is much less

VICE CHAIRMAN STONE.
The National Committeeman Out
for Bryan for President.

ST. LOUIS (Mo), Aug. Ill am for
Mr. Bryan for President. l have al
ways been for him and expect to re-
main so. 1 think there is not a shadow
of doubt about his nomination by the
next Democratic National Conven-
ton
This statement was made by Vice
Chairman W. j. Stone of the National
Democratic Committee. when he was
asked about reports from Washington
that he was preparing to forsake Bryan
and take up Real Admiral Schley as
a candidate for the Democratic Presi-
Dental nomination.
Mr.. Stone further said: II have never
heard Schley's name mentioned as
possible candidate for President, except
in newspaper gossip l never thought
this was serious and do not think the
last report is any more serious than
the others. / have never thought of
Schley as anything but a brave naval
officer. This talk about my being for
him is rot l am for Bryan"
Speaking of the Democratic confer
ences reported as being held at Sara
toga, Mr.. Stone said: Il don't believe
the conferences amount to anything.
This talk about them is all nonsense"

YACHT CLUB RACES.
The Run Yesterday to New Bedford
Very Unsatisfactory

NEW BEDFORD (Mass), Aug. IL
The run of the New York Yacht Club
fleet from Vineyard Haven to-day to
this port proved the most unsatisfac-
tory of the cruise, and as far as the
racing was concerned, was we'll nigh
fizzle.
All day the yachts wrestled with typ
ical dog day conditions, winds from all
quarters and all velocities
The Columbia for the second time in
the cruise, beat the penfender' by many
miles, because of the shifting breezes
and Gains. In fact, so far ahead was
the new boat at the finish that the De-
fender gave up entirely, and did not
round one of the marks, the VINEYARD
Sound lightship. AT one time during
the day, about noon, it looked as if the
Defender might win, for she got a
fine shift of wind and left the Column
bia becalmed two miles astern. But
this seemingly fortunate shift proved
the Defenders undoing, the breeze
leaving her entirely off Tarpaulin Cove.

Hearings Have Been Adjourned Un-
til September Twelfth
Yesterdays Session Not Productive
Of Any Sensational Develop
ments, the Hearing Being De-
voted to Testimony Relating to
Contracts for City Printing.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Mazet
Executive Investigating Committee to-
day adjourned until September 18th.
Attorney Frank Moss will spend the
next four weeks preparing a statement
of the work of the committee, and
framing reports of Improvement or sup
posed improvements in matters per-
tanning to municipal legislation, which
Will be presented to the next Legisla-
tpre.
Assemb1yman Hoffman, the Demo-
cratic member of the committee. OBJ
jected to adjournment, but he was out
voted four to one by the Republican
members of the committee.
The session during the day was not
productive of sensational results.
Superintendent w. A. Butler, who is
in charge of the city records, was called
to the stand for the purpose of show
ing, if possible. that contracts for the
city printing We're let out through ia
voritism, but the witness was firm and
convincing in his assertions that all
contracts were let out to bids.
Henry S. Kearney, Commissioner of
Building, Lighting and Supplies, testi-
fled regarding the issuance of permits
Tor allowing the Metropolitan dine to
put in electric ducts along that road.
Mr.. Kearney acknowledged that he
thought the company had secured
about 90 per cent. excess on ducts, but
said he had allowed it because the COM
pany had declared it was necessary.
Mr.. Moss attempted to show that this
extra power would be used by the street
railroad for outside contracts, like fur
nishing power and light to citizens.
The attorney of the committee insisted
that the extra ducts amounted practi-
cally to a franchise. This was denied
by the Commissioner, who incidentally
made the remark that his department
was paralyzed by the refusal of the
Municipal Assembly to concur in per-,
mits granted by him for stringing wires
and carrying on other work in his do
main.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE Secre-
tary of War has directed that the CEN
sus of Cuba shall be completed by jan
uary LIST next, and General Joseph
Sanger of the Inspector Generals De-

Gently on special duty in connection

official in each district. Each will have
a force of Cuban enumerators, but the
number of these is yet to be decided.
