are no " turned toward Boston. The
atmosphere is full Of expectancy because
of the appointments which Mayor.
elect Hart is said to have up his sleeve
for the colored politicians of the city
These positions have already been fixed
upon by the coIored leaders and they
are now waiting to see if the mayor
will accede to their demands. Among
these offices are some very high posi-
tions, to which no coIored man has in
the past aspired. One of these is the
office of superintendent Of lamps, for
which ex-Representatlve William l..
Reed has been slated. The attitude OF
the mayor in regard to these appoint
ments will decide the question whether
it is the best policy for the colored man
in this section of the country to turn
democratic in municipal affairs as we'll
as in voting for president. White and
colored people agree alike that the col
ored men picked out for the positions
are fully capable Of holding them. The
only questions is: Will the colored man
get his just recognition? The colored
voters of New England usually look to
Boston for advice on the subject of
voting, 80 that the appointment or re-
fusal OF appointment to these Offices,
may send what is LETT of the colored re-
publ1cans over to The democratic party.
1t is estimate i that half of the colored
voting population of Boston went dem
ocratic on the last election.

sic abilities have placed him as peer
of any of any of the white orators in
the college this year. Not only is he
well liked in Cambridge, but he is the
star among the society folk of the city.
The people of the city have become
very indignant over the alleged dis
elimination OF the colored officers OF
the 49th United States volunteers at
the mess table. This regiment con
tains some officers from Boston. The
story runs as follows: Soon after leaV

drawn. As soon as the first gong
sounded the white officers would quiet
" make their way to the saloon and
occupy all the seats at the table. when
the second goug sounded the colored
officers would find that there was no
Mace for them and they were compell-
ed TO await the pleasure of the white
officers and eat at the second table. The
colored officers endured this state OF
affairs fl few days, until they were
certain that there was a premedltated
design to keep them at distance. Then
one of the colored officers sought cut the
COLONEL and asked why the distinctio
WAS made, The colored officers further
nunetuated his remarks by saying
"ColoneI, there will be big row raised

among the officers becomes known" Per

HARD ON THE TRAMP
Oil Sprinkled Tracks Render Break
 beam Riding Perilous.

The railroads are gradually riddng themselves of the tramp nuisance, and on the great trunk lines it is practically impossible for a transient to steal a ride. With one device after another the roads are making it more and more dangerous for tramps to steal their way. According to a Santa Fe official, nothing is left for the hobo" to do but ride the brake beam of freight ear. Transportation by the passenger train is practically impossible because of the construction of the entrances to ,he coaches. The ends of the baggage and mail cars are flush with the ends If the beams and there is nothing there for the tramp to cling to. The doors, too. are flush with the sides of the trains and there is nothing for the tramp to hold to. But when the roads began to sprinkle tracks with oil just about the last nail was driven. It is said that the odor of the oil makes it periloUs for a tramp to ride the beams even of a freight car. The oil is said tO deadzn the senses and rapid movement over the track covered with it makes a beam passenger sick and dizzy. Inhaling the

 When he arrived at the men's dres- sing room the evening of the dinner, the man servant handed him the usu- al small envelope with the name of the lady whom he was to take into dinner. MT. Long read it aloud to the other members of the cabinet in the room. He looked puzzled and distressed. The other members showed that they also had cards.
 MT. Long sat down heavily in chair and looked around as one who had lost his last friend. T thought" he said, mournfully, that Hay told us this was going to be an informal affair."

 Why, I thought every fellow would come in and just go to the lady he liked best, take her out to dinner and sit down in the chair nearest him. That's my idea of informality. y."-Philadelphia Post

PACKAGES ON MAIL BOXES.

A novel question has been raised by the arrest of a man in St. Louis charg- ed with stealing packages which were deposited on the top of a mail box.
 The United States authorities declare that packages so deposited are not mail and that persons taking them are not guilty of violating Uncle Sam's postal laws On ths other hand, the state aU- thOrities are in a quandary as to what to do with the prisoner. There is no question but that larceny has been committed but to whom to attribute the ownership of the property is the question which they cannot q acide. If it belongs to the United States. the gov eTnment should prosecute If it be- longs to the person to whom it is ad
 dressed, then it is in the custody If the government and. therefore, within the

HIS IDEA OF INFORMALITY.

This story relates to Secretary of the Navy Longs idea of social formali,y
 lust before the first cabinet dinner was given last season MT. Hay had private talk with his colleagues in the cabinet. in which the proposition was agreed to that the irritating precedent question at cabinet dinners should be abolished. Each hostess must simply be careful not to put the same people together through the season. The sec retary of state was to inaugurate the

The train had not completely stopped and he had a mar row escape from instant death.

The bike followed suit and a passerby saw the peculiar and amusing sight of the zanjero, with his head anchored fast in the mire, his legs sticking straight up and frantically kicking about in an effort to rid themselves of an entanglement with a bicycle. He came to the rescue and pulled out the wheel and owner. the latter a wetter and wiser man. a sudden convert to the theory that for reliability a horse dis counts bicycle.

 In event of the last conclusion being correct. it would not be safe to deposit packages on a mail box and they would be considered a direct invitation to thieves to take them. As the matter now stands. pending further investiga- ton, letters and packages are not United States mail matter, until they are inside a mail box.
