Richmond's New Mayor.

When Mr.. Carlton Mccarthy, Rich
mond's new mayor, entered upon his
term of four years yesterday, he found
that his predecessor, Mr.. Richard NJ
Taylor, was nowhere to be found. The
retiring mayor had simply cleared out all
of his belongings, left the key to his
desk, and retired in good order. This
action was due to his intense dislike for
his successor. The new-comer, however,
did not lack for attention. The mayor
office was thronged with citizens, and
on his way through the corridors to his
office, Mr.. Mccarthy had to run the
gauntlet of hundreds who insisted upon
shaking his hand as he entered the office.
A band secured by his admirers played
Hail TO the Chief" "Star Spangled
Banner" and "Dixie," while other adj
mirers presented him with American
Beauty roses in proiusion. The mayor
delivered an impromptu speech, in which
he reviewed the pledge made before his
election to do all possible to promote the
good Of the city.

ONE OF the latest solutions of "the
negro problem" is offered by l. B..
Phillips, a southern man, in the Su-
vance Review. Showing that the negro
has lost much since his emancipation by
being separated from the white man in
dustrially and domestically, Mr.. Phillips
proposes a return Of the old patriarchal
plantation. He proposes to teach the
negroes that fair wages on plantation
are better than debt and failure upon
their half.independent, ill-tended small
farms. He points out number of in
stances where this process has already
begun, where men Of large means have
set to work establishing permanent plan
tations on which negro help is given a
life tenure under good conditions.

THOMAS E. WATSON, who has ar
rayed himself against the democratic
party aud announced himself a candi-
date for President, made an address in
the State Capitol of Georgia yesterday.
A large percentage of tie speech con-
sisted of abuse of the democratic party.
The remainder was illogical and point
less. He talked much of Jefersonian
democracy and spoke of Wall street as if
it were a place from which all human
woe has emanated. Toward the close
of his TRADE he said
Come veal or woe, am going to lead
a revolt against these democratic leaders
who have abandoned the true principles
of democracy. l call upon all true
democrats to support me. And to every
peoples party man, North, South, East
and West, / send forth the summons,

der your foot all hesitation and fear

Dynamite serenade for Bridal Pair
Morristown, N. j., Sept. 2.-As the
result of a wedding serenade Mr.. and
Mrs. B. P. Willets new home at Sue
casunna is now pitiful sight. Mr.. and
Mrs. Willets were married August Is,
and after spending a week on honey
moon trip, they began housekeeping.
As Mr.. Willets is very popular among
the young folk around Succasunna and
Legerwood, his old companions con-
cluded it would not be proper to pass
over the event without some sort of a
jubilee. Wednesday night they secured
quantity of dynamite and wended
their way to the residence of the newly
married couple. The programme was
opened by a selection from calithum-
plan band, and closed by the igniting of
the dynamite. The discharge of the
explosive proved somewhat disastrous,
as several doors were blown off and the
ceilings of the new house were knocked
down, spelling furniture and carpets.
Willets preserved an even temper, and
handed out box of cigars to the seventy
young men who rendered him this un-
usual evidence of congratulation.

THE DRINKING OF cLARET.

TT is curious, says The Lancet that when Bor-
deaux wines o. clarets were never cheaper more
abundant. and purer than they IN the present
day. the public demand for them should de-
cidedIy have diminished. The fact IS that nova
people. and II must be admitted that unless It is
handled properly claret may easily be an
pleasant and embarrassing beverage. On the other
hand. there is finer wine-no wine Of more
wholesome character, possessing more delicacy
Of favor-than a light, sound. relatively non-acid
cIaret when proper care is devoted TO It. Sound
caret contains but little free acid. and. in fact.
in this respect IL invariably contains the least pro-
portion Of acid Of all wines Again red Bordeaux
wines are certainly less acid than white wines.
while they contain practically sugar compared
with white wines IN health the individual would
undoubtedly be better for drinking q pleasant light
claret rather than glass OF ardent spirits and
water. Good sound c.aret need not contain
alcohol than does ale stout, while II IS free
from the extractive matters Of the latter. It is
well known that in countries where the staple
beverage is win ordinaire the people who are con-
tent with such a simple but withal generous drink
have sober inclnations. show good bill Of health
and are free from the Gemoralizing influences Of
spirit drinking Yet In this country the same ad-
vantages may be enjoyed. so good. cheap. and
abundant is the supply OF light clarer imported at
the present time. The decline IN the consumption
OF light wines in favor OF heavy wines the
drinking Of ardent spirits would appear to be evil
deace that demand for vigorous and pidIy
acting stirnulants has arisen. ana the social and
moral aspects Of such demand are worth serious
reflection. * London Telegraph.
