SENSATION CAUSED BY A WELL
KNOWN LADY ON NEWCASTLE
STREET YESTERDAY MORNING.

Yesterday morning a beautiful and
attractive Brunswick LADY was seen
going down Newcastle street. Every
body stopped to look at her. She
had on still more beautiful hat, of
artistic design, and passers-by could
not resist the temptation to stop and
look at the lady and the hat. At the
corner of Newcastle and Gloucester
street she met a lady friend from
Paris, gay Paree, who exclaimed in
wonderment, Goodness Gracious,
where did you get that hat? II is
the prettiest hat I have ever seen,
and beats anything in Faris or New
York" you don't say" said the
Brunswick lady. But do say" said
her friend. Look there" said the
Brunswick lady, what are all those
people looking at me for7" They are
admirine that beautiful hat said
her friend. And where did you get
it?" Why, | bought it at Miss Kate
Skaters, 5o4 Gloucester street, the
most artictic and up-to-date milliner
in Brunswick. And the friend of the
Brunswick lady congratulated her
self that she could get her hat like
that one, too.

COUNCIL WILL HOLD
INTERESTING MEETING
AMOUNT TO BE PAID BY LIQUOR
DEALERS WILL BE DEcID.
ED UPON TONIGHT.

City council will meet in regular
session tonight and some matters Of
vital Importance will come up before
the body.
Probably the most important will
be that of fixing the liquor and other
licenses for the year.
Since Mayor Emanuel recommend
ed that the liquor license be raised
from 5000 to $500 there has been
much anxiety among the saloon men
to know whether or not council win
stand by the mayors recommends
ton and raise the license. 1t is now
known, however, that the aldermen
are divided on the subject and a fght
is expected when 1t comes up for final
action tonight.
Two new policemen are also to be
elected at the meeting, and consider
able interest is taken in the election,
as there are some fifteen Of twenty
candidates for the two places. Other
equally as interesting matters will
probably come up and the meeting
promises to be a very lively one.

EVERYBODY TALKING
ABOUT POSTAAST[RSHIP
BRUNSWICK CITIZENS GREATLY
WROUGHT UP OVER THE
RECENT CHANGE.

The change of postmasters in Bruins
wick is still the sole topic of CONVEX
sation among our citizens and it is
being discussed in all quarters of the
city.
Nothing official has been heard by
either the old or new postmaster and
nothing is known more than was
stated in the special dispatch to the
News from Washington yesterday. 1t
is not even known whether Mr. Smith
has been appointed for a full four
years term or only to serve the unex-
pired term of Mr. Brown.
Some talk was going the rounds yes
terday to the effect that Postmaster
Blown would demand an investiga-
ton, and efforts would be made by
his friends TO have the senate investi-
gate the case before confirming Mr.,
Smiths appointment. Mr. Brown was
seen on the subject, but said he had
not yet taken any steps and was I'M
decided as to what ne would do. His
friends, however, are urging him to
make fight and the matter may not
yet be settled
The question as to who will be ap-
pointed assistant postmaster by Mr..
Smith is also being freely discussed
and many names are heard in connec-
ton with the appointment. It is I'M
derstood that Mr.. Elliott, the present
incumbent, is a candidate for the
place, but it is little thought that he
will receive the appointment, mas
much as he will be unable to get the
endorsement Of the Belcher faction,
as a fight was made against him at
the time he was appointed by Mr..
Brown. A number of other names
have been mentioned for the place.
but it is not known who is slated for
it by Belchcr or the newly appointed
postmaster.
At any rate, the entire matter has
reached an interesting stage and some
new developments may occur within
the next few days.

PLAN TO AVERT STRIKES
AN ORGANIZATION OF CHICAGO MER-
CHANTS PERFECTED.
Clearing House for Labor Troubles,
Especially Those which Affect
the Teaming Interests.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-Under the arrange
ments which have just been perfected by
the associated teaming interests, an organi-
Zation of Chicago merchants who are inter-
ested in transportation by wagons, there
has been formed a clearing house for labor
troubles which is expected to have a far
reaching influence. Ever since the team
sters formed into unions their cooperation
has been sought by nearly every other labor
organization in time of trouble. The most
serious case was when the freight handlers
were out last summer and the commission
drivers and truck teamsters struck in SYM
pathy with them
In the future when the teamsters are re-
quested to take up the grievances of an
other union they will refer the troubled
union to the advisory board of employers
Here the matter in dispute will be taken up
and the employer requested to appear to
state his side of the case. An effort will
be made to settle the matter in this hear
ing. but if this is not successful both par
ties will be requested to submit the case to
the teamsters' arbitration board and agree
to abide by its decision. Any union whc
shall refuse TO take such a course will b
deprived of the support of the teamsters,
while, If the employer shall prove unwilling,
he may be boycotted by the teamsters.

urer of the associated teaming interests,

and Died Soon After.

POISON IN THE BEER.
George +. Leyh, a Wealthy Truss
Manufactures. Killed.

NEW YORK, Dec. Am investigation by
day, of George F. Leyh, wealthy truss
manufacturer in Brooklyn, has developed
considerable of a mystery. The investiga-
ton is proceeding. Leyh was over seventy
years OF age and is said TO have possessed
an estate of more than 100000. 1t was his
custom TO eat luncheon in the rear OF his
place of business. With his daughters he
made his home in apartments above. On
Tuesday the luncheon was brought as usual
and Leyh went into the cellar for bottle
Of beer. He took it from a case containing
twenty bottles. On taking off the top he
found the beer fiat, but drank part of
glass 1t tasted badly and he called the Of
flee boy whom he asked to taste the bev-
erage, which, he said, was bitter. The boy
put the glass to his lips and said the
same Leyh arose and started across the
room. Suddenly he fell and died in twenty
minutes The doctors found that his death
was probably caused by a strong irritant
poison. AT first ii was believed the stuff
had been placed In the bottle for safe
keeping and that Leyh had taken the fatal
