complainant today in a case against

dropped the minister into a trough of

Huss of hurting a missile at the animal.
and the story OF witnesses was that VII

allegation.
Huss told the old man that he would
throw him into the trough If he re-
peated the remark, upon which Will
Iiams walked to the trough and dared
him to proceed.
Huss deliberately picked UP the
preacher and dropped him into the
water. At the trial Williams swore he

Woodruff Not a Candidate.

Former Lieut.. Gov. Tim" Woodruff
has denied the rumor that he is an as
pirant for the Republican nomination
for governor 10 succeed the Hon. Benja-
min b. odell, and this is the unmistak-
ahlo language in which he couches hts
denial. G~ tI4ffEi ETE14
When asked about his candidacy, the
man with the waistcoats OF brilliant
hue said:
That's unbottled hot air. It's a space
filler for the newspapers during the dull
spell. 1t is out OF season. asinine. NAL
apropos. idiotic. silly. and strictly out Of
order. II IL the sort of pitiful political
puliag which pretty nearly gives me a
pain II illustrates the insanity of the
ingenious incubator of idiotic ideas In
the dog days interim. Such a boom
would be ossifed long before 1t was old
enough TO even ogle at the nomination"
From this expression IL may be judged
that the Hon. Timothy is not a candi-
date, and many persons will believe that
for his own good 1t is just as we'll that
he is not.

Went Down in Defeat

Colonel Bartlett represented the old
Seventh district, made up of Richmond
county and the First and Fifth Assem-
bly, districts, in the Fifty-third and
Fifty-fourth Congresses. Having de-
clined TO support Bryan on the free sill
yer platform, he was refused a re-
nomination by Tammany and the regu-
lar Democracy. Colonel Bartlett. how
ever, still had an ambition to return to
Congress and determined TO be q candt-
date He was nominated by the gold
Democrats and ran as a national Demo

that the Republicans Endorsed him and
made no nomination in the district. His
successful opponent was the Hon
John H. C. Vehslage, the regular Tam

himself in the House, and soon disap-

Gently, II is said. the wise ones de-
termined that he should be the Tigers
nominee for mayor. The opposition of
the Bryanites, however. Is likely to
cause a change TO be made in this de-
termination.
Against the fusion nominee Tammany
must present a candidate who is not
antagonized by any within the regular
organization. II Devery carries out his
threat TO run for mayor this fall
against the Tammany candidate, with
the avowed purpose OF revenge, he will
poll anywhere from 5000 to 20. 900 votes
which Tammany can I'll afford 10 lose
How much less, then. can Il afford 20
lose the votes of several thousand
Bryan Democrats, who may nominate
an Independent candidate, or, still
worse for Tammany. support the fusion
ticket. The fight viii be close in New
York this fall. and the Bryanites may
be the factor which will turn the con-
test one way or the other. and they will
not support Colonel Bartlett.

An Innocent Neiqhbor.
Discoveries of Alleged Irregularities in
the School Board.

Our thrifty and "philanthropic"
neighbor, the Evening STAR" tum-
bled all over itself in unholy glee yes
terday upon discovering alleged ir-
Irregularities in the presentation of
certain vouchers by the Board of Ed
ucation. 1t said that the "auditorial
ofhcials"-whoever they may be-had
refused to accept certain vouchers be-
cause no proposals or bids had been
invited by the board.
We marvel at the innocence of our
esteemed contemporary in permitting
q former member of the Board of Ed
Ucation and one of its henchmen to
pull its extremities in this outrageous
manner-tbe extremities, too, of an
old lady. It's positively shocking.
Doesn't our E. C. know that the
Board of Education issues no pro
posals or bids; that that is the duty
of the Commissioners, and of the
Commissioners alone; and that the
board has no more to do with max
ing up vouchers for payment OF
school supplies than the ProcuratoI
of the Holy Synod has with awarding
contracts for keeping Filipinos sup
