attractive appearance, carry ths
refuse and garbage therefrom te
the streets and alleys to become
a nuisance to the public. We
find that many residents allow
large quantities OF wood to re-
main in the streets and alleys
from year to year. We find that
numerous tradesmen, apparently
not having necessary space in
their places OF business, utilize
public streets and alleys to facili-
tate their own private enter
prlses. In several instances we
notice that enterprisipg individ-
uals have fenced public streets
and alleys for personal use.
These conditions, we believe,
are detrimental to the interests
Of the city, and are contrary TO
city ordinances. The laws cos-
ering these matters have not
been vigorously enforced, pre-
sumably because public opinion
has net demanded their enforce.
ment, and the committee had no
idea that the city was in as vile
a condition as it is, SO that in
our opinion a change of senti-
mens as to the enforcement of
the ordinonces and the cleaning
up of the city will lead to much
better conditions. It will at
least add to the construction of
lateral sewers, the consumma.
ton of which will enable resi-
dents to easily dispose of their
sewerage. This accomplished
we shall have made a loag step
In the direction of clean and
healthful city.
In the mean time it is the
duty of the chief OF police under
the instructions already given by
this committee, to notify resi-
dents and property owners, that
they are required to clean away
all filth, garbage and sewerage
from about their premises, and
it is hoped that the persons so
notified will comply without the
necessity Of the city taking re-
course to the law. Let us have
a general cleanup, and the beau-
tifying committee can 90 to
work.

He has found one case, however, in
which the owner Of the stock lost a
number Of cattle by poisoning from
a source unexpected by him. The
poison in this case was the smut of
cheat. The hay made OF the cheat
was full Of the spores and dust of
the smut. The effect upon the
cattle was not immediate, but the
bodies of the dead animals decem-
posed with great rapidity. The
smut was not suspected by the
owner, who thought the cattle had
been poisoned in some ether way.

mayor and members of the city
council have been making a most
thorough and personal canvass of
the sanitary condition Of this city.
The report will be found in another
column. 1t sets forth many good
reasons for cleaning up and beauti-
flying our city, aside from the de-
mands Of health. In many in
stances it was found that the law
regulating these matters had been
violated, most likely from the city
law and carelessness regarding
natures laws of health. It is
hoped that perusal Of the report
will stimulate those who are re-
sponsible for these uncleanly con-
ditions to make an effort to remove
them.

 The specialties were new, bright and crispy. Burton and Brookes were funny, and their songs and jokes were fresh from the pen. In fact, one of their songs was so recently written that slight mis- cue in funny verse caused them mos mentary embarrassment. Edyth valina- seda sang three songs and did some high kicking.

BETTING ON MAYoRALTY RACE.
Tammany Money Was Plentiful on the
 Sidewalks of New York.

New York, October 7.-Wagers involving more than s45000 were placed on the com ing election. All bets were made at even money. The largest individual wager was s15,00O. The parties to the bet were John Considine, proprietor of the Metropole Hotel, and George J. Seabury Mir. Consi- dine, who represents the syndicate of Tammany men, took the Shepard end of the bet. The money $3O,0O0 in alp was placed with c. C.. Shayne. MT. Considine has already wagered s25, 900 on the Tam many candidate, while MT. Seabury has bet like amount on MT Low. After the money had been posted MT. Considine an- nounced that he had $5O,0O0 more to bet at next Mayor of Greater New York. MT. Seabury said that he might make another $10,0O0 bet within a few days.
 Many wasers were laid in Wall street One prominent broker bet $10,000 on MT, Low against like amount wagered by an admirer of TamN1any. Many small bets running from 800 to $500 were also placed around the Stock Exchange. The willing ness of Low men to accept even money Is AcBdi oco III CCA bdiu opOl tiu6 4udi bci D dS indicating that MT. Low will be a favor ite In the betting before election day.
 In discussing the situation yesterday a well-known bookmaker said that there was very little betting interest among his fellows for the reason that they look upon MT. Shepard as rather a weak can didate. They would like to see him win, believing that their interests would not suffer so much as if 'the Republicans judgment prevents them from wagering any considerable sums on the Tammany nominee. ?
 U The statement was made on good au- .thority last nights that at least $15,oOO of MT. Considine's money will be covered by well-known broker ,on Monday. The feeling .in Wall streA is strongly in favor of MT. Low, and it'is not improbable that many big bets will be made in the finan- cial district on the coming election within the next few days
 There was no lack of Tammany money in the street yesterday. The terms re- mained the same, and all important bets recorded yesterday were made at even money. A big pile of Tammany funds came. down town early, and $50,000 was placed at the disposal of J. J. Judge, of Cooke & Judge, of Mo- 20 Broad street, which met all offerings of the Low sup porters. MT. Judge placed $6osO of Tam many bets yesterday
 G. M. Minzesheimer bet 5000 that Mir. Low would win Allen, Wood & McGraw, a St ock Exchange house. took another bet of 5000 on Mir. Low, and J. J. McKean bet a similar amount on the fusionist ticket. All these bets were taken by J. J. Judge for Tammany men. The largest individual bet yet recorded in Wall street was one by Bunnell & Buchanan of $6000 even | money that MT. Low would win. | This bet was made yesterday. On Friday i there was far greater offering of LOW money, but this state of affairs was changed yesterday, when a syndicate placed $50,OOO at the disposal of MT. Judge

Senator Depew's Engagement

The engagement of Senator Chauneey NJ. Depew to Miss Mary Palmer of Paris has been announced. the wedding to take place this month in Paris.
 MT. Depew is now in his sixty-eighth year. His first wife was Miss Elise Hegeman.
 Southern society will be interested in his approaching wedding, since his bride Is Southern, her mother being famed belle and beauty of New Orleans. Miss Palmer is now at her home in Paris, but her sister, Mme, von Andre, is in this country as a member of the party of Sir Thomas Upton that came over to wit ness the yacht races. MT. Depew's neice, now Mrs. Allison of Cincinnati is well known in Birmingham. Mir Depew is quoted as follows:
 Yes" said he, ''it is true that I am to be married. Miss Palmer who has hon ored me with her heart and hand, is well known in Paris, where she lives, but she has many relatives in this country, so that it will be like coming home for her to remove here. am unable to tell you the date of the wedding or when I shall sail for Europe"
 When MT. Depew was told that most of the people of this country were inter ested in his doings he replied, q am glad of that"
 MT. Depew spent portion of the past summer in Paris, and probably 1t was then that the engagement was entered into. It is not true, however, that the ac- ft1,o Inf at hat iY,ao Depew has known Miss Palmer for sev- eral years.
 Dr. Depew's ideal was thus described by him last June. when rumor had it that he was soon to marry a widow who lived abroad
 Seriously. in my case, being a public man. my wife would have to be hand some. Then she would have to be at tractive, for she would have to represent me at the head of my table. I would also want her to be a woman who could win the men I could not reach. Mrs. Lo- gan was such woman. She did much to make John A. Logan.
 Besides this, l should like to have my wife fond of her dressing gown and slip pers and to spend her evenings at home, As to her age, she can be anywhere from twenty-five. to seventy-five. You see I am liberal as to age. Youth is not always the most necessary requisite in bride."
 Miss Palmer's mother was one of three famous Hermann sisters of New Orleans, who were known for their beauty. An other of the sisters married Hall McAl- lister, California lawyer, and brother of the late Ward McAllister. A daughter of Mrs. McAllister was married to Rep resentative Newlands of Nevada, and is now a society leader in Washington. An aunt of Miss Palmer on her fathers side is Mrs. Oelrichs the wife of an uncle of Hermann and Charles Oelrichs. She lives in Bremen, Germany. the only near rela- tive of Miss Palmer of the last genera ton who is now living. Through another aunt she is related to the LeRoy family of New York, while a third aunt married Henry May, a relative of the late Mrs. William c. Whitney.
