CITY OFFICERS.

On the first Tuesday in April a
city election will be held to elect a
mayor to succeed B. w. How, a
treasurer to succeed Aug. Rien,
and aldermen to succeed William
Pangburn of the First ward, and c.
C. Tobey of the Second ward. How
many of these retiring officers are
candidates for reelection the HER
AID does not know, other than the
fact that Mayor How declares en-
phatically that he will not be. He
has, he says, firmly decided not to
again be candidate for reasons
wholly personal. The HERALD is
free to say that it does not consider
his position tenabe. He has no
right to lay so much stress upon his
personal desires in matter of such
great public importance. 1t is true
the HERALD did not support his
candidacy a year ago-and it is
equally true that it insists that he
owes it to the city to stand for an
election now. He has inaugurated
a vigorous policy which is growing
in favor, and scores of our citizens
who were opposed to him a year
ago now demand his services for
another year. He has gotten well
under way some marked improve
ments, begun and contemplated
notably the city park and sewer
system-and he ought to stay by
them for another year. 1t is not
possible for any man to fill the
office of mayor and gave univer-
sal satisfaction, but Mr.. How will
come as near doing it as anyone
who could be elected. He GER
tainIy ought to reconsider his ex-
pressed determination, and con-
sent to serve another term.

TO ANTICIpATE INTEREST Action of Treasury Department- $3O,-
 OOO, ,OOO to Be Paid Out

Washington, Oct. 10.-Assistant Sec
 retary Vanderlp of the treasury has
 decided to anticipate the interest for the entire fiscal year, the period ending with July 1, 1900 The interest due on November i will be paid in full without discount, but if holders of bonds wish to take advantage of the offer to antic- ipate interest due at subsequent dates a discount at the rate of two-tenths of one per cent a month will be exacted. The amount of interest due from now until the end of the fiscal year is about $SO, 900, OO0 The prepayment of this amount will. it is believed, be a relief of much importance to the present stringency in the money situation, while on the other hand the discount will be a saving of a large amount to the government. The treasury is in a position to advance these interest pay ments without the least embarrassment. The interest due November i. Is made up of the three per cent. loan of 1898, the fives of 1904 and the fours of 1905 There is $1 500, ,000 coupon interest which will be payable at all sub-treasuries October 13. The books for the registered bonds of 1904 and 1925 do not close until the 18th. The checks for the interest on those registered bonds will be mailed October 20 The total prepayment of November interest is $4,36S,244

New York, Oct. 10.-At the Lenox Athletic club this evening Eddie San try of Chicago knocked out Ben Jor- dan, the featherweight champion of England, and the only lad who ever received decision over George Dixon at the weights, after a little less than two minutes of fighting in the sixteenth round of one of the fastest fights that has taken place in this vicinity in some time Up to the knockout Jordan was far ahead on points but Santry's blows were truer to the mark and won him the battle. The Engishman made game fight, but only upheld his stand ing as boxed and proved that he could not stay the limit with a clever and hard hitter. Santry made the fight of his life adn proved one of the great est surprises of the season. He fought a cool, steady fight and showed excel- lent ring generalship and is likely to prove a hard proposition to many who aspire to the championship honors

DEWEY IN HIS OWN STATE
HE RESTED LAST NIGHT IN ABSO-
 LUIE QUIET.
Pathetic With Him Yesterday Than the Many Enthusiastic Greefings He Received on His Journey From New York.

Shelburne, vt., Oct. 1O,-When the train bearing Admiral Dewey pulled into this gaily decorated hamlet the vil- lagers and folks from the surrounding towns even as far as Burlington had made up a crowd of nearly 3,OO0 The admiral immediately alighted and went to a waiting carriage. Just at the steps stood tall man in working clothes, Michael Mckenzie of this town. Sud- denly Mckenzie threw his cap into the air and yelled Lets give three cheers for Admiral Dewey, the hero of Ma nla." The crowd began, but it stopped in the amazement caused by what followed. The admiral stared looked wonderingly at the man, dropped his hat and gloves and then shook Mex en- zie's hand. Instantly the hands of the crowd were outstretched toward the admiral, but. he started back and said, scarcely audlbly, NO, no; l can't do that; my hands are very sore, too sore for that"
 Along the road were drawn up about 200 school children each with flag and headed by their teachers sang a
 
 ginning Yankee Dewey Went to Sea-" The horses were then whipped up and the admiral was driven to Shelbu1n n house, the magnificent country seat of Dr. Webb, three miles away. Away from the hustle and worriment which have been part of the honors so amply paid him, the admiral is tonight in absolute quietude. He has, as he has himself expressed it, come home, and home yearnings were stronger and more pathetic with him to-day than the many enthusiastic greetings he receiv- ed on his journey from New York to the Green Mountain state.
 The plans for the morrow are not yet determined. Admiral Dewey has all ready found the farms so restful that he is loathe to leave it. He Is, however, due in Montpelier on Thursday, and it is evident now that the special train will leave tomorrow afternoon for that place making a short stop at Burling- ton.

LeXneton, Ky, Oct. 10.-To-day's g card of five races was made notable by the breaking of one world s recnrd in the trottinc of a fast half milo over a rather slow track It was in taa first heat of tho Ashland stake. which was regarded as two horse race b2tWeen Tomm, I}I itton and Peter the Great. In the first heat Peter the Great and Tom my Erittor showed the greaiesi speed ever seen in a public race, when they trotted head and head the half mile in 1 1.01E, with the second quarter in 2912. By many it was considered that bad driving very possibly lost the race for the two heavy favorites. They kept together to the las. eighth when Brit ton drew away and won by length all out, with Peter also greatly distress ed. Britton was done for, and l})nna tella, who had finished third and fourth in the first two heats took the race rather easily. The stock farm purse was won by Endow from a good field of youngsters.
