An Aldermnnic RuII.

Some time ago n follower of one of
the city aldermen cast covetous Glances
upon a desirable newsstand under the
elevated railroad stairs. Straight he
went to his friend. the alderman, and
made known his wishes. which were
that the news dealer should be evicted
from the locality.
''All right, me boy; leave it to me-"
said the city father and began to pull
wires. Finally he got an order direct
ing the newsdealer to show cause why
he should not get out. but that obsti-
nate individual still remained. Then
he drew up a formal complaint. which
was duly laid before one of the judges.
The complaint. after telling how the
newsdealer had been ordered to leave
and had not done so. concludes:
And now we have to complain,
your honor. that not only is this same
stand stil there. but the defendant has
replaced it by a bigger one."-New

CHASED THE SUPER.
The Exciting Race Between Kenn
md the Stngc HIND.

md the Stage HIND.
Some strange tales have been told by
old timers i'm the stage business about
the Keans. both the elder and the last
to he seen on the American stage.
Some have said that hard study made
them n little wrong ut times, and some
of the things they did certainly looked
queer.
1t is told by an old New Orleans
hOrseman. who is here from the Cres-
cent City. that when Hean the youn-
ger was playing there he nearly scared
a super TO death and came near pink
ing" him.
1t was in "Richard ILL.," in the scene
where he secs the ghosts. The stage
manager was n bit the worse for drink
and determined TO have some fun. He
did not like Kean. as he was hard
man behind the scenes. Among the
supers was n raw Irish lad who had
never seen a stage before. The man
ager told this fellow that If he would
run across the stage when he gave him
the tip he would stand to earn 81. The
poor fellow was broke, and n two spot
looked to him like national bank.
He agreed, and the stage manager gave
him gaudy oilcloth banner bearing
these words, Smoke General Jackson
Cigars"
1t was nearly n panic that this Irish
lad started. He ran across the stage.
and when Kean saw him he was furi-
Gus. He made lunge at the unfor-
tunate super with his sword. and. as
the rag" came whizzing down TO a
hurry call. he chased the poor standard
bearer off the stage, down the passage
and to the street. For two blocks lac
followed him in his Richard costume,
and finally the super escaped down
dark alley.
What effect it had upon the show the
turfman does not say, but certainly it
Vas only the super's agility of foot that
saved him.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

RACE IS NIP AND TUCK
But the City of Erie Gets There
Forty. Give Seconds Ahead
of the Tashmoo.
HER BAoKERs POCKET 900
Distance One Hundred Miles and
1t Was Either Boats Race
Most of the Time.

Cleveland, o., June 1.-The hundred
mile race from Cleveland to Erie yes
tcrday between the Cleveland pas
senger steamer City of Erie, owned by
the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit
company. and the TaShmoe, Detroit's
crack passenger boat. owned by the
White Star company, was in many re-
spects the most noteworthy race ever
sailed ON fresh water. The Erie COW
cred the distance in four hours. nine
teen minutes and nine seconds, pass
ing the stake boat at Erie forty-iiVe
seconds ahead of the Tashmoe. beat
ing the latter by fOrty-tive seconds
elapsed time. Ii was pronounced by
Ole vcssclmen To be the prcttiest race
ever witnessed. Aside from winning
the speed championship of the great
lakes. the Erie won about 100000
for those who bet OH her.
- Ideal Conditions for the Race. ~
The conditions under which the race
was sailed were ideal. There was ii
fair sky and a sea as calm as Il mill
pond. These conditions were more es-
sential To the Tashmoe. as she Is
light-draught boat and would have
been severely hampered 10y wind aud
sea. while the Erie was made To travel
was lined from start to finish with eX-
cursion boats OF al kinds. and the
shores were crowded ut all points in
sight with peOpel. The noise at the
departure OF ale racers NJ Cleveland
was duplicated at the finish. Wills
ties footed and people cheercd both
victor and vanquished. Both boats
were stripped TO fighting trim.
Preparations for the Struggle.
The Erie made no preparations for
the race except TO unload her freight
after coming To her dock i'm the morn
iEg. The Tashmoe had been scraped
thoroughly and everything done To IA
cilitate her speed. From the start the
result was i'm doubt until within a few
miles of the finish. The race demon
strated that the boats were pretty
evenly matched. Each was surprised
ut the speed of the other. The boats
approximately made nearly twenty
three miles an hour. II was neck and
neck from the starting point until just
about Fairport. where the Erie en-
countered shore water and fell three
lengths behind her rival. From Fair
port To Ashtabula she made no perCep-
tihle gain. but finally picked up and
passed her rival The TaShmoc sailed
by spurts. getting ahead for Il while.
then falling back, while the Erie main
talued steady gain. W hcn the VIC
tOrious craft entered the Cleveland har-
Dor last evening on her return from
the race she was greeted with ire
mcndous ovation.
Big Difference I'm Horse Power.
Both boats are side wheclers. Both
were built by the same man-Frank
Kirby. of the Detroit Dry Dock com
pany. He designed the City of Eric
To cover the 2OO-mile run from Cleve-
land to Buffalo at high rate of speed
under all weather conditions. Kirby
built the TIshmOe for high speed on
Il short river route. The City of Erie
has n compound beam engine. which
has developed G.O0O-horse power. and
the Tashmoe has n triple expansion in
cline engine capable of developing
, 500 horse power
