RetIectiOns of a BACHELOR.


A woman always claims that she
never gets mad When she acts
maddest she says she is only Gin
dignant"
When woman gives her hus-
band an elsy chair for Christmas
it most always turns out to be the
kind that rests her back most.
1t is probably only natural cuss
edness that makes a woman get up
so much closer than she has to
when she fixes mans necktie for
him.
In the average woman's mind
styles take the place of her hus-
bands politics, the neighbors of
his religion and the baby of the
morning newspaper.
When man cuts the grass his
wife stands on the porch and tells
him how he ought to do it, but
when he is shoveling the snow he
can always pretend he doesn't hear
her when she knocks at him on the
parlor window.
Capt. Fred Ford, of New York,
ex.inspeotor of bulls for this dis

Wilson, of Eureka, that his claim
for salvage, etc, against the Gov
eminent is being vigorously pushed
by ex-Speaker Reed, ex-Secretary
of War Tracy and Senator Platts
son, who are his attorneys. Capt.
Ford asks remuneration under the
maratine laws for stores and Gov
eminent property saved and pro-
tected by him during Jenkins raid

It seems difficult to realize that
the woman who wrote the first mes

The message was sent from Wash

ALL MALICE, SAYS DIR. JENKINS.
HEALTH COMMISSIONER REPLIES TO THE
CHARGES MADE TO THE MAYOR.

II could not be learned at the Mayors office yes
teriay whether or not charges had been filed with
Mayor Van Wyck against Health Commissioner
William T Jenkins. Secretary Downes said he
had not seen them and the Mayor himself would
not answer any questions. It is alleged that Dr.
Jenkins used his Office for the purpose of getting
Staten Island and that he has had patients treated
at the public hospital who were foreigners and not
entitled 10 public aid.
Commissioner Jenkins attended the meeting of
the Board of Health yesterday. He was asked for
his to the charges, and he made the follow
ing statement. which he had typewriter:
10 the Mayor and intended to serve a reply to
all that may be said that subject by way of
criticism Of my official conduct, desire 10 say
that connection with the Merchant Marine
Hospital Service began at the time of its incorpora
ton. in 1896, when 1 held official position, and
has continued ever since Further that I have
power in aid of such service. and
Der Of Board Of five commissioners have no
individual power which could be used. This brief
statement is all the reply the charges call for or
deserve
Commissioner Jenkins. however, said afterward:
1t Is simply a piece of malice on the part OF DR.
Worsters partner DR.. Piper. DR.. Worster's part
ner has been doing nothing but follow and
repeatedly asked me for permission TO be allowed
TO go TO work in the hospital.
The hospital service IS approved OF by every
American owner OF foreign ships, and the
the charge is made b. WOFster because Wor-
ster and his partner practically knocked out
OF the business on account of the hospital I have
nothing TO fear in their charges. 1t is incorpo
rated institution. and when went into the Mer
chant Marine Hospital Service I had no political
pOs-OI dld was JUS IlIeu IN accepting H. ana no
one can say ever made Use OF my place for other
than proper purposes
