S A Wealthy City's socialist MAYOR.

I'VE have the remarkable spectacle
of ole of the wealthiest cities in France,
a city of millionaires and FAMOUS as a
seat OF learned universities, ruled by a
Sociaiistic Mayor, M. Delory, and a
Socialistic Board of Aldermen said d
resident of Lille, while tarrying briefly
in Washington the other day. ''They
clamor for the distribution of the i'm
mense wealth in Lille equally among
the population. The saloon keepers,
the street vendors and, excuse me,
many fools are ruling over us. Lille Is
a large city of 800, 00V Inhabitants, and
near by are two other manufacturing
cities, one of them having a population
of 125, 900. SO that, altogether, there is a
population of 100000 people within what
is practically one city. You must not

Entitled to a Band Wagon Seat.

Garrett Gibson, of Muncie, Ind, who
says that twenty three members of his
family voted for Mckinley, and thinks
this record cannot be beaten, must give
way to the descendants of Isaac
Thompson, for seventy-five years res
ident of Pittston, who died a few
weeks ago 101 years old. Four years
Iago Mr.. Thompson voted for Mckinley,
as did four children, thirty grandchil-
dren and two great-grandchildre
This year the vote was decreased by
the death of Mr.. Thompson, but, on the
other hand, increased three by the
younger members, making a total of
thirty -eight votes for Mckinley. This is
a record that can hardly be equaled in
any stronghold of Republicanism.

Many and various have been the bills
paid by Mark Hanna in the past six
months, but an Indiana woman doubt
less has the honor of presenting the
most original of the lot. On the day
Mr.. Hanna was in Fort Wayne. Mrs
Mary Dunlap put three dozen pigs feet
to boil, left them in charge of her hus-
band and went to the other end of
town on a visit. Along came brass
band shortly and Mr.. Dunlap locked
the door and followed the music.

hopelessly burned, and now Mrs Dun
lap has sent a bill of so cents to the
President-maker.
