The little city Of Bayonne, N j., elected
s.busness Mayor" year ago, and has ex-
nerienced a series of stiff surprises since.
There have been many kinds Of Mayors in
Bayonne, but never before just this kind
For instance, there was the Mayor whose
whole souled capacity for mixing with the
multitude was thus described by one Of
his admirng policemen:
1T don't matter damn VINO y are,
hell get drunk witcher.'
He was popular Mayor. Yet, all the
same. when the list OF prominent and popu-
lar citizens was being scanned by the Demo-
cratic leaders in Bayonne last year to find
man who could win the Mayoralty for
the party again, he was unfeelingly passed
over. II was felt that that particular kind
OF candidate wouldn't do just then.
There were several reasons; one was that
ihe taxes had gone up sky high. New
York citys tax rate in the same year was
pnly sl4l, while Bayonne's was up at $500
And the citizens who paid the taxes didn't
seem to think that they were getting good
value for their money,
Something had to be done about it.
One bright mind-whose owner has
modestly refrained from revealing his
identity through all the surprises that
have followed cred this suggestion:
whats the matter with nominating
tom Brady
Now the Hon Thomas Brady, a pros
perous coal and lumber merchant, had
never betrayed any special hankering for
political office. He had been a member
OF the city Council and to the general SUR
prise had come out OF that body with five
clean fingers, in the expressive phrase OF
Bavonne, and apparently quite content
to stay outside
Beginning with nothing he had built up
a large and increasing business. Fires
had destroyed his plant and disasters OF
other kinds had threatened him, till -Bradys
luck" had become almost synonymous
in the community with Ill luck. And after
each fire and each disaster he had started
fresh only to reap larger success. II he
would take the nomination it was felt that
the situation might be saved.
A delegation went to see how he felt
about it
Gentlemen said Mr.. Brady, Il am
sensible Of this honor, and l accept II
! am elected will endeav or to give Bayonne
a thoroughly businesslike administration.
That was how Bayonne got it's business
Mayor. The candidates campaign was
hustle. He didn't pretend to any ora
torical gifts, but he made many speeches
They were all brief and they all ran about
like this:
GENTLEMEN-I am glad to see you all here
this evening. and l hope will be better
acquainted. If you elect me your Mayor
/ will endenvor to give you a good business
administration. After the eloquent speeches
you have heard don't think there is much
more for me to say. But tn at is what |
promise, and that 3 what IN do.
In this way plain Thomas Brady became
his Honor Mayor Brady by something like
400 majority in total vote Of about e,o00
and on Jan he took Office and then the
surprises began.

who dumped over King Log and elected

Pen Pictures of the
War in Manchuria

TOXIC, Sept 4-Here are some extracts
from letter received from friend near
Hung Nung Tung, Manchuria:
Il reached Newchwang in time to see the
Russian evacuation and the japanese en-
trance. Saw part of the Tashichao and Hal
Cheng fights and have had the time Of my life
here with Capt. b, Tenth United States
Cavalry, as the guests of Gen. Chung Tzoihui,
the most notorious bandit Of Manchuria, who

to raid the Russian lines and harass their
rear. Stole /, 100 cattle and killed three
Russians in a scrap yesterday, and to-day
regiment Of Cossacks Is raiding the sur
rounding country looking for Chinese ban
dts and sweet revenge.

must pardon stationery, chance find in
junk shop yesterday
And the paper was CORY, like the hap
penings he chronicles, while broad scarlet
band across the face OF the huge envelope
might signify an edict from his Bandit
highness Gen. Chung
Another letter paints very vivid pen
picture:
Last night at O'Clock we anchored on

What a spectacle was soon to unfold!
The curtain lifted about midnight on

Down from the Manchurian mountains
echo the prayers for the repose OF the souls
OF the dead soldiers. This is a description
OF the ceremony as contained in letter:
The priest stood on the mountain, facing
