MAYOR HUMEs WEAKNESS

4nNE Of the strongest evidences
~ OF Mayor Humes' weakness
is to be found In the fact that
his managers are already conced,ng
that he will not carry the entire
First ward. A few days ago they
were open with the statement that
be would have the solid delegation
Of the First for trading purposes.
and first. last and all the time at
the county convention. They not
only admit that 1t will be impossi-
BILE for him TO do any trading with

friends that Senator Trink will
have at least one OF the First ward

"A AYoR HUMEs' managers have
w made desperate efforts during
the past two weeks to secure
the services Of the Democratic pri-
mary workers. They realize that
their own strength is not sufficient

quently they have, II is said. offered
money to many Democratic work

whole city detective force now receives
its orders, not from the chief of police.
but from George u. Piper. the head OF
the Humes machine. II SO patent that
II admits Of no contradiction.
Mayor Humes and his followers in the
city administration have practically abol-
ished even sembiance of the enforcement
Of the civil service rules. prohibiting city
employees from taking an active part in
politics. Detective Wappenstein. whom
the Humes administration imported from
the East for the especial purpose OF rid
ding the city OF criminals. and to whom
the people OF the city have right 10 look
for results IN that direction, has practical
ly abandoned all effort to perform the
duties fer which he draws salary from
the city. and has for weeks devoted his
entire time to the service OF the Humes
forces.
II is a notorious fact that he il no
longer to be found at the police station.
except by accident and that his working
hours are spent In the company OF the
Humes campaign managers. by whom he
IL employed as go-hetween In their deal
ings with the saloon men. gamblers and
criminals of the lower end of the city.
Detective Meredith. formerly looked
upon as one OF the most competent men
in the police department. has also ceased
to pay attention 10 the duties for which
he Is paid by the city. and now spends
his entire time In the Second ward. which
he is relied upon 20 carry for Mayor
Humes, and In which both he and the
mayor reside.

Economy and Old Furniture.

There are certain economics which
are not economics. Our clothes and
our houses should be reflections of
this to the extreme. There is no rea-
son why you should dress in silk and
satin and velvet, and wear powdered
hair, and dance minuet because you
have Louis XVI. or colonial house.
/ have known people to admire the
Orient SO much that they have had
complete Oriental rooms without
chair in them, or even a divan. Hand
some rugs, were placed on the floor,
and everyone sat there, and shoes
were removed before entering the
apartment. / know Of others who had
become SO enamored of life in the Pa
cific Islands as to occasionally give a

simple fashion of those remote coun-

very much in the same manner. and

Buffalo Evening News: Hot water is
so simple remedy, and so easily OBJ
tanned that its value is not half APP
preciated. 1t is one of the best re-
storers of nervous energy, it rests the
weary. and it relieves pain, not only as
an outward application, but as rem
edy to be taken internally. A sudden
and wearing attack of coughing often
needs immediate attention, especially
In consumptives. and those chemically
Ill. In an emergency. that ever useful
remedy will often prove effective. It
is much better than the ordinary cough
mixtures, which disorder the digestion
and spoil the appetite. Water. almost
boiling. should be slipped when the
ing from irritation. is relieved by hot
water through the promotion of secre-
ton, which moistens the irritated sur
faces. For the trying dry cough. hot
water is also excellent, as 1t promotes
expectoration. and brings relief. When
one has a sudden attack of indigestion
1t is good plan to take a cup of hot
water as nearly boiling as it can be
borne. Persons suffering from dyspep-
STA will find relief by drinking a cup
of hot water on rising in the morning.
When one comes home at night
after fatiguing day, nothing is
more restful than bathing the
head and back of the neck with towel
wrung out Of water as hot as can be
borne. 1t soothes the nerves and rests
body and brain. The same treatment
relieves nervous headache as nothing
else does. When one is overheated and
there is rush of blood to the head. a
hot towel applied to the face and head
is great relief. In the heat OF sum
mer this same hot towel refreshes and
cools the skin. and gives it feeling
OF lightness and comfort that cold wa
ter never gives.
