SCREVEN WON'T RESIGN.
VIII Make Race for Ordinary, while
superintendent of Police.

The meeting OF the United Club and the
speech by Mr. J. S. Collins to the mem
bers of that organization was freely dis
cussed among the supporters of the ad-
miaistration yesterday. The suggestion by
Mr. Collins that Superintendent of Police
Screven hand in his resignation to the
Mayor before making the race, was not
taken seriously by any of the administra-
ton supporters or by Mai Screven him
self.
When asked if he would follow the
suggestion of Mr.. Collins, and resign be-
fore entering the contest for Ordinary
Maj. screven said that he would not. He
said that as long as those over him are
satisfied with his actions he will continue
to do as he has done. He can see
no reason for giving up his present
office before being elected to that of Ordi-
nary.
The friends Of Maj. Screven and of the
administration laugh at Mr. Collins sug-
gestion that because the superintendent
has the machinery of his party on his
side and thus secures the nomination, that
il does not necessarily follow that he is
the choice of the people. An administra-
ton man said I'm conversation with a rep
resentative of the Morning News that he
considered Mr.. Collins talk a big joke
Mr.. Collins speaks of party machinery
end invites all of the candidates to join
club organized by him and for him"
said the gentleman. Does MIR. Collins
tell the people that while he is speaking
of nOlitical machinery that he controls
ana operates the machinery of the United
Club? II has been generally stated that
this club is Collins organization pure
and simple, and that in truth that gen
tleman was it's organizer. Now, then,
with this state of affairs, what chance
would the other candidates have in this
so-called good government club with Can
didate Collins at the helm. Surely they
could not expect 40 receive the indorse-
ment of the club. and If they should go
into it with any expectation of being the
clubs choice they viii be sadly disap-
pointed. Maj. Screven will not enter the
club and neither will ne resign as Super
intendent OF Police. until he has been
elected Ordinary of this county"
The leaders in the new political club
firmly deny that it was organized in the
interest of Mr.. Collins or any other man.
and insists that its sole purpose is to
obtain a better condition of political af-
fairs in this county. That Mr. Collins
was one of its organizers there appears
to be no doubt, but in his speech Thurs
day night he declared that the success
of the club stood far above his highest
ambitions The members of the club in
sist that they have no choice but will
indorse and support the man who is best
suited for the office, who will give the
public the greatest satisfaction and who
will make the strongest race They saw
that for this reason they have refrained
from making an Endorsement as vet. The
club VIII hold another meeting next
Thursday night. at which time che com
mittee OF twenty named to select per-
manent officers and name for the club
will report. 1t is not known who win
be at the head of the new faction.

~ remarkable. in view Of the exception
ally dangerous operations necessarily per-
formed

tai days for free patients and 2197 hospi-
tai days for pay patients a total of 5Sl9

state, county and city which contribute
nothing to the maintenance of the hos

TROLLEY CARS DERAILED.
Accidents Caused by Sand on the
Tracks.

Three trolley cars were derailed yester-
day morning at different times, but no
one was injured and the schedules we {
thrown out for only a short time. The
Bridge car ran off the track early in the
morning near Thirty-second street ana
the wrecking car had to be called into
service. A short while later a Barnard
street car jumped the track near Castor
street. and at O'Clock in the afternoon
the Bridge car ran off again. The accl-
dents were caused by sand being blown in
heaps on the tracks, and the motortnen
had to be very careful, to avoid further
accidents of a similar nature. There were
Pc ssengers on the cars when they were
derailed, but only a slight jolt was ex-
perienced by any one.

Iniative in Savannah.

the initiative yesterday in what will soon
be an effort on the part of the leading
exchanges of the country TO have the war
tax on foreign and domestic bills Of ex-
change removed. At a meeting of the

40 memorabilia Congress. which will be
done promptly.

tice of their action be sent to the New
York Cotton Exchange. which was re-
quested to take the lead with other ex-
changes in a general effort to have the
lax removed. The New Orleans Cotton
Exchange was also notified of SaYannah's
action and requested to cooperate. Il is
believed that the movement will expand
into a general one. and that the matter
viii be brought forcibly TO the attention
OF Congress.
The tax on bills Of exchange is not paid
on the other SIDE II is stated, but comes
out Of the pockets Of the exporters them
selves. The large amount of business Sa-
Fannah exporters transact makes the tax
burden. and they hope 10 see It removed

dressed to MT. William Shea7' came to the Placerville post office. Bill got it, and the next day, dressed in an old suit of shining broadcloth, he went down in the stage to the west-bound train. Sophie didn't know him at the funeral. If she saw him at all through her tears she did not recognize the white-haired, bent old hermit of the bar He came back silent as he went, and resumed the aimless routine of washing the sands from which all gold had vanished.
 One Saturday old Bill failed to show up at his trading place in Placerville, and Jenkins, the trader, knew some thing was wrohg. Jenk was one of the old-timers and he had figured the silent man one for himself. So he rode over to the bar with Bills weekly supply of bacon and four He found was as bare as the old pine cupboard, but Bill paid for the grub and thanked Jenkins into the bargain. The pile ofyellow dust that the hermit weighed out was a very little pile, but the trader knew better than to pry into poor Bills affairs.
 A week later Mrs Nat Harkins, nee Tiffin, arrived in Placerville snd was duly heralded in the weekly newspa- per. She found Bill, and, wanting to help him, didn't know how to go about it. She argued to the effect that the money he had loaned her husband was

SHE LANDED HER MAN
How a Bright Washington Girl
 Forced Proposal.
Used No Other weapon But senti- mental English Novel and Lead Pencil-VictOry Won
 in Twelve Hours.

The young woman sharpened lead pencil with great deiberation, grabbed up the book, bumped herself into a rocking chair, plucked her gum from beneath the arm of the chair, and set to work with a do-or-die expression, says the Washington Star.
 eff this scheme doesn't work" she murmured, then he's a hopeless case and won't do, that's all. ;
 Then she began skimming through the book and marking passages.
 Reginald de Whoopville,' she read softly to herself, had but one fault-indecision of character. Brave enough in the sizing of opportunities, he ever faltered at the critical mos ment. The lack of strong determina- tion in his nature doubtless proceeded from species of carelessness, but the hesitancy he exhibited at times, when he owed it to himself, as we'll as to her, to display quick-thinlxing res olution was exceedingly trying to Ger trude, who found herself thinking of him great deal at this times
 Well" muttered the young woman, sticking the lead of the pencil in her mouth and marking the passages very blacl1ly, that ought to hit ehim, sure enough.''
 .Gertrude,' she went on reading, after turning over the pages rapidly, had imbibed none of the foolish doc trines of the so-called new-woman sect. She was sufficiently candid to proclaim her belief in marriage as the natural, as well as the highest, aim of woman"
 ''Um,'' she commented as she marked the passage, ''it doesn't make any diff ference whethe: I take any stock in such stuff or not, it won't hurt him any to believe that do."
 Reginald, as he rode his prancing steed over the downs, " she continued, permitted the bridle to fall loosely

Meet and wed in Four Daxs

Introduced on Thursday afternoon, proposed on Friday, became engaged on Saturday, and married on Sunday this was the rapid transit route to the land of matrimony followed by H. J. Bowling, dairyman, of Yellow Springs. 0. The last chapter of this four-day romance was written at St. Joseph, across the lake from Clfica- go, when Miss Gertrude Miller, of 4911 Lowe avenue, became Mrs. Bowling.
 On Thursday morning last Miss Miller was a forewoman in the can ming department of the stock yards plant of Libby, McNeil & Libby h. stead of turning lightly to thoughts of love, her attention was riveted to tin cans, corned beef, and sliced ba- con. On Friday morning Mrs. Dowl- ing formally handed in her resigna- ton as forewoman; Saturday she and her husband began their Honeymoon with visit to the Pan-American ex- position.

oldest Church in the countrv.

The oldest Protestant church in the United States is St. Lu1e's, at Smith field, Va, writes William E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record Herald. St. Luke's was erected in 1632, and was restored in 1894 as nearly as possible to its original condition and appearance. It is a beautiful old structure, of early English Gothic, with mullioned win dows and stately tower, and has been used for public worship almost con finuously for 21s centuries. The orig inal church erected on Jamestown is land by the first English colonists in North America, under Capt. John Smith-the church in which Pocahon- tas was baptized and married has all disappeared, except a picturesque, ivy clad tower of black, surrounded by grove of trees.

HOW TO ENTER POLITICS.
Kansas Editor to Aspiring Statesmen.

If you want to be politician, the first thing to do is to get into the push, or at least create the impression that you are in, advises the Topeka Mail and Breeze. When there is a conven- tion, if you can't work in as a delegate, you can at least get into the crowd in the hotel lobby, and if you carry yourself in shape you can make the stranger who is within the gates of the city believe you are not only a del- egate, but one of the steering com mittee. Keep busy. Take at least eight or ten men off to one side in the course of the evening for private conversa- tion.
 There is quite good deal in making people believe you are cutting good many lemons, whe ether you are or not. It is a good idea to be seen off in a corner talking with some prominent candidate. You can arrange this if you have the proper amount of gall. You may not have anything to tell him. but then you will be seen in consulta- ton, and you will make some parties who don't know you very we'll think that there must be a. hen on. But, above all else, cultivate your gall. If you can get some reporter to inter- view you on the politScal situation, that will be good scheme. The newspapers can make a reputation for almost any sort of a man.

GOODNESS OF THE BAD MAN.
Type of the West Whose Virtues Were a Keen Eye. Quick Hand
 md q Stout Heart.

The bad man is not necessarily bad at all. He is often very good fellow. Bad is merely synonym for danger ous. The ssbad'' man was formerly the sgood' man. He is simply the from tiersman whose evolution has kept pace with that of the firearm-pr net of the border and the six-shooter, says Everybody's Magazine. Keen of eye, quick of hand, and strong of will, he has that supremacy which always comes to the man of cool and clear headed personal valor everywhere, except in society's latest and most re- fined development. The term was used rather to express the feeling that he was, in the vernacular of the border, "a bad man to monkey with" To gov ern and control communities in which vicious men were not infrequent, where all were restless and the major ity turbulent, the ordinary forms and servants of justice were inadequate. Law and order required the assistance of officers who, though enlisted to keep the peace, did not hesitate to oe law unto themselves. If ciyiliza- ton was afraid to indorse their ac- tions, it was at least proud of the re- suits of the labors of the peace officer of the border. Hickok, Tom Smith, Patrick Shugrue, Michael Shugrue, William Tilghmann, Hector Thomas, and score of other men as marshals, sheriffs and deputies enforced the law, made life safe and property secure, and brought order out of chaos by their ready courage and, good sense. As Wild Bill Hiclok was the original
 so was he the first of the class.

SIGNALS THAT FAILED.
Enlbarrassing situation of a Man Who Had the Committee
 Habit.

''I have long since quit serving On committees, said a man from Arkan- sas, who is now living. in New Orleans, according to the mes-Democrat, .and under no circumstances would accept place on any kind of a com mittee. I had tne committee habit once, and I had thoroughly devel- Dped case of it, too. I was living in Little Rock at the time, and no com mittee was complete without my name. There was on one occasion big function at the capital, and I was placed on an important commit tee. The hall was jammed with spec tators and guests. We had every avail able band in that section of the coun- try, including the bands which had been organized in private and public institutions. One of my duties was to look after the bands, so the music could be kept going. Another member of the committee had scattered the bands around the hall, and he had placed one band up in the gallery portion of the hall. T wish you would signal the band in the gallery to strike up,' he said to me, and I uIdelS lty way uOWn l4iC SllSlc uhtli Il got to a point where the band was placed in the gallery. I made the sig nal. The members of the band paid no attention to me whatever. l got excited and a bit angry, and my sig naling became more violent and I went through a series of absurd arm movements and my face was burning up with embarrassment. I felt man pulling at my coat tail, and when I turned around he said: Excuse me, but are you waving at that band in the gallery?' They are the biggest lot of blocllheads 1 ever saw" I said in reply. Excuse me- he said, softly, that is the band from the blind asy- lum.' I have not served on a commit tee since that time, and I believe am completely cured of the commit tee habit.''
