the Examiner, his followers do. The fol-

be successful at the polls to-day or not;
They number many thousands and feel

the destiny of their party.
In a general conversation Buckley re-
GREETED that the members of the Fire De-

work hard for the success OF Rafney s
ticket He said he was advised last night
that the order had gone forth to the brave
boys who risk their lives for paltry sum

their positions to get out and help the
man who controls their very existence
He also said that he had no ambitions to

her children depends almost entirely upon

BUCKLEY HEADQUARTERS
The Blind Mans Followers
Propose to Shape the Des-
tiny Of the Democracy.

All was activity in the headquarters Of
Buckley last night The rooms were
crowded with scores Of young men, over
half Of whom had the general appearance
of having worked hard during the day at
their respective trades. The topic of dis
cussion was the primary election and the
chances OF the tickets in the various As
sembly districts to-day.
The trend of the conversation often led
to the part the Examiner had taken in
the tight and the onslaught ii has made
on Buckley and the men who support him
1t seemed 70 be the universal opinion
among the workingmen who compose the
different clubs that the harsh things said
of Buckley's followers are intended for
them, and they therefore are indignant.
While Buckley does not hold Phelan re-
sponsible for the reviling he and his
friends have received in the columns of

SEWER COMMISSION INVALID.
No Law Exists for It's Creation by
the Supervisors.

General Dickinson yesterday advised
Auditor Wells that In his opinion the
sewer commission appointed by the Board
of Supervisors was not a legal body. The
law, he said, empowered the Board of Su-
pervisors to appoint either an architect
or an engineer, but not TO create a COM
mission. Auditor Wells Immediately noti-
fed Mayor Phelan and his attorney
Daniel c. Murphy, and together they went
to Wells office, where a hot discussion
ensued General Dickinson read the sec
ton which he has discovered and now the
Mayor will attempt to straighten the mat
ter out by having the board appoint one
of the present commission a chief engi-
neer and empower him to employ assist
ants. If the present commission had
been permitted to proceed any bond issue
that might have ensued for sewer pur-
poses would have been invalid.

Fronhle with ths P.ora.

Al old veteran of the civil war, Col. Gunsen irascibie in his manner but generous at heart, was much annoyed by the boys of the neighborhood, who persisted in climbing upon ard run ming over the fiat roof of his barn, an unDretending structure sloping toward the alley, and easily sealed from the asnbarrel.
 The colonel threatened and scoldea. but 10 no purpose. He strung bar0ed wire along the edge of the barn, but the boys wrapped old clothes around it and climbed over it. He chained n savage dog on the roof, and tie boys made friends with the animal and stole it.
 In desperation, he smeared tar all over the roof one day, and the boys were temporarily baked, but before they had decided upon plan for cir cumventing the colonel 1t chanced that 3 teamster, in driving through the al- ley one hot afternoon, lighted his pipe and carelessly threw the match up on the top of the barn, with the result that the roof was ablaze in an in- stant
 The boys happened to be playing n the alley. Quick as a flash they sprang to the rescue. With buckets of water brought from horse trough in the back yard across tine alley they clam bered up to the edge of the roof, and fought the flames so successfully that they put them out before the wood had time to catch fire
 Boys" exclaimed Col. Gunson, who arrived on the scene in time to witness the triumph of the iporomptu fire brig ade. and was full of generous enthu- siasm, tomorrow I shall cover what's left of the tar with sand, strengthen the supports of the roof and you may play or it all you want to hereafter. You've got the right stuff in you"
 The colonel was as good es his word, but VII 1t be believed ?-such is the perversity of boy nature-that after he had turned that roof over to them for a playground, not boy in the neighborhood ever set foot upon it again

 and Completely.
 The girl of my heart came home to attend cousins wedding on Thursday of last week and she stayed in town for two days before going back to schoo. sor the commencement which will make her a sophomore. says the Wash sngton Post. It wouldn't be fair to tel the name of her school, but it's an ex- eellent one, where the fashions of the mems college are followed, even to the possession of a college yell and the practicing of hazing. The girl of my heart was hazed last fall She did not sant when the girls touched her arm With bit of ice and said they were branding her with an iron. She en- dured every ordeal so smilingly that the girls at last determined to do some .hing perfectly dreadful. They marched her through dark halls, blind= folded as she was, opened a closet door in the physical laboratory, snatched the bandage from her eyes, pushed her in, locked the door and left hes shrieking in the arms of a skeleton. Now, 2 skeleton to her is no more ter rifying than a hoopskirt, but she saw an opportunity to amuse herself. She is one of the cIeverest amateur actress es Washington possesses. She let flown her hair and tangled it about her face. Her gown was an old one, so she sacrificed it and tore it to tatters. Then she waited. Presently she heard the girls returning. She began to croon softly to herself a weird song. The girls opened the door She took no notice of them, but went on Iayish- ing kisses on the grinning skull, laugh ing idiotieally to herself the while. Finally one of them whispered: Girls. shes rayipg mad" That was the cue for the girl of my heart. She raved; she tore her hair; she shrieked when they tried to draw her away from the skeleton; she laughed; she flung her self about. and finally danced out intu the outer room, moaning in a blood eurdling way. The girls dared not even breathe. They were ghastIy. They elung to each other and shud- dered. The girl of my heart danced to the door, caught up a knife from ta ble, waved it with a hideous scream and sprang at them. Then, as they huddled together in a perfect agony e fright, she dropped the knife aud opened the door.

Visitors Barred from the soudan.

Many persons have, since the recon quest of the Soudan. been desirous of making trips of curiosity to Khartoum and Omdurman, but all endeavors to dc so have been fruitless. The sidar will allow no stranger to enter the cities, and the government refuses all applications for permission to cross the desert. Lord Kitchener is proceed ing with the work of planning out Khartoum, and by the time that trav- elers are free to enter the city they will find very little to show them what the city was like in Gordon's day. The reason for this action on the part of he government is that the desert is not yet safe for those who have not a military escort.

MUST LEAD HIS FLOCK
He should Not Come Down to Their
 Level.


 Level.
 "The minister should be given to understand that his congregation ex- pects to share in the ripest Knowledge he possesses, and will appreciate his most careful thinking" writes Ian Maclaren iE the Ladies' Home Journal. When he rises to his height on any occasion and breaches great sermon, t does not matter whether every per son has understood every word or some of them only about one-haif. He ought to be told that all the members of his church are proud of him and thank God for him, and that even if he were beyond them this wa not be- .ause Of obseurity but becaG.e of ele- yation, and that they are pleased to OaYe a minister who lives at such level. He must not come down to hem, but they must strive to rise to aim. It is a miserable business for preacher to repeat the commonplace lf his people in a showy form so that the man in the street goes home con graduating himself because he has heard his paltTy ideas tricked out in showy dress. It is the function of the prophet to lead his flock onward. even though the march be so.--~--mes through the wilderness, and they ought to follow close behind him and tell him that they are there. and that they will not cease to follow till he has brought them into the fullness of the land Of promise. Under those conditions man will feel bound to read the best books and to think out every subject to it's very heart; he will grudge no labor of brain, no emotion of soul, to meet the expectation of thoughtful, broad-miuded people. and if he come 1t last to be leader of thought whose words fly far and wide, then to this congregation will the credit be due who believed in him, and demanded great things of him, and made of him more than he. in his most ambitious moment, could bave imagined"

What Made Virginia Laugh.
 Well. did you do it, 'Lexandei Knox?"
 e'No, never-she just looked so- berer than eYer!"
 That's poetry!" laughed Phoebe It was easy enough to maKe Phoebe laugh
 Alexander plunged both grimy little hands into his pockets and looked gloomy.
 q stood on my head three times
 @oh, my, I couldn't do that!" cried Phoebe, misehievously.
 Al I turned three somersaults a-running'," continued 'Lexander, se- verely, and she never laughed one little smile-no, she never! l do1't know what to do next. 7
 T couldn't make her, either" said Phoebe. T tried and tried. Every body else laughed; grandma did and uurse and every ybody but just Virginia I guess we nights well give it up, 'Lexander.
 It looked that way. Everybody in the house had been trying to make soIemn-faced little Virginia laugh. If they could just make her do it once. the backbone of the storm would be broken, grandma said, and the sun would have a chance to come out flor good.'
 It was quite serious case. Virginia lad really a good cause for being sor- rowful When one is only 4 years old and has had the croup and can't go to the next-door baby'S birthday party well, what is there to laugh at?
 Virginia pressed her tip-tilted little nose flat against window-pane and cried quiet little raindrops that twink led in the sun. And everybody was 50 sorry for Virginia-Why. even the chickens outside seemed sorry! There was one lanky, half-grown little fellow In yellow coat, half feathers and half down and half bare skin (but that's too many ha1vesf) who seemed espe- cially sorry for Virginia. He cooked bis ridiculous little head at her and blinked one bright eye.
 That little girl ought not to be cry ing-dear me, no!e he seemed to be thinking to himself Somebody ought to put a stop to it at once. The idea of cry g when there's just been a rain and the angleworras are so plenty Somebody ought to entertain that lit- tie girl, I have itn2
 And then Little Lanky Fellow strut ted away importantly Just the thing! If anything would comfort the little girl, that would. He futtered up or to the wheelbarrow and stood just un, der Virginias window and Tapped his funny. bare wings and-crowed! It was hoarse, cracked, little baby crow but he stretched his long neck and opened his mouth to a frightful extent-and crowed and crowed and crowd. He was so very important and proud of himself, and the crow was so very hoarse and off the key!
