ssy and John damon ware left for me
pr snt as Clerk Bouton's staff in the
clerk main office.
1t was announced from the Mayors
office that other changes woald gradu-
ally take place.
When the certified copy of the Su-
preme Courts decision and the judg-
ment were served on Clerk Bouton he
had informed himself through private
counsel as to what to do in the matter
of handing over the books and records of
the department. Fearing biased
opinion from the Law Department in
favor of handing up the books and rec
ords, or a biased decision from the
counsel of the old Board, he sought the
opinion of Counselor James B. Vreden-
burgh. of the firm of Vredenburgh, Wall
& Van Winkle, upon which he acted.
The opinion follows
Mr. Geo. T. Bouton,
Dear sir:-
''By the law of 1891 in question it is
provided that whenever the title of any
person appointed under this law is dis
puted. the Chief Justice shall appoint a
special term of the Supreme Court to de
termine such DISPUTE.
THE Mayor allying supplement- of
1894 unconstitutional appointed under
act of 1891 Street and Water Commits
sioners who duly organized.
s'The Mayor claiming that thereby a
dispute has arisen as to their title to
this office made application to the Chief
Justice to appoint special term to de-
termine such dispute.
s'The Chief Justice thereupon appoint
ed a special term of the Supreme Court
to determine this dispute. That e-vuTs
heard the dispute and kss determined
that the commissioners appointed by the
Mayor are the legally constituted Street
and Water Commissioners.
"This 1 think. settles the title until the
Court of Errors determines otherwise.

LITTLE TALES OF KINGS.

King Alfonso is giving his, subjects

Since his throat trouble. Emperor Will
liam has changed his voice. modulating
It so as to reduce the pressure on tbs
vocal chords. He now speaks in some
what lower pitch, his throat specialists
having explained to him the theory OF
voice production, which he has prac-
ticed with considerable success.
Kink Edward made fresh manifesto
tion Of his tact and kindness recently
by sending letter inQuiring as to the
condition of member OF parliament
who had undergone an operation for
appendicitis. The king said that as
he had been subjected to severe opera
ton for the same malady, he had a fell
low feeling for all who had to endure
similar suffering. His act was the more
noteworthy from the fact that the men,
Der is prominent representative of a
party which does not look with favor
on kings or on an aristocracy,
Victor Emmanuel III. OF Italy is one
of the least kingly among European
rulers. In person homely, awkward in
manner, and exceedingly shy in COM
pany, he thoroughly detests the dreary
tomfoolery of court life, though he 10y
ally refrains from Sinking any of the
duties falling to his position, He has
no fondness for appearing in military
uniforms, nor does he imagine that he
is an able general simply because on &C.
,asion he has TO wear the habiliments
of a soldier. His majesty is very well
read in science and literature. and is
never so contented as when in the COM
pany Of his wife. His court is the most
democratic in Europe.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic TO
the Pacific, Letters of congratulation
and commcndation testifying to the
merits of Peruna as oatarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds Of such letters daily. All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor nrti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage aud rostrum, recognizing cotarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony,
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh, Ca
tarrh is ellnigh universal; almost om-
nipresent. Peruna is the only absolute
safeguard known. A cold is the be
ginning Of catarra. To prevent colds,
TO cure colds, is ia cheat catarrh out OF
its victims. Peruna not only cures ca
tarrh, but preventsit. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs, COLTS and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps II con-

Peculiar Accident.

John Brannon, prominent
farmer. who lives three miles west
of Huntingdon, accidentally shot
himself in a rather serious manner
last week. Mr.. Brannon was in the
act of cleaning double-barreled
shotgun and went to the door to
empty the contents Of the weapon.
He discharged one barrel and the
gun kicked him, falling to the steps.
The weapon struck on the edge of
a step on the hammer, and the other
barrel was discharged, the load
striking Mr.. Brannon in the right
wrist, blowing its way up to his
elbow ant" making frightful
wound.

Prosperity at Ripley.

As evidence of the substantial
prosperity which Ripley is enjoy
ing, The holiday trade was enormous.
All branches of business were re-
warded with increased sales over last
year. Although there were import

to the town during the holidays,
there were comparatively few DRINKS
and hardly half dozen ar
rests. Those who displayed bad
taste in tanking up were principally
negroes and two shooting scrapes
among the colored population with
no fatal results was the consequence.
The merchants are all in excellent
shape for the advent Of the new
year and no doubt the town will
continue to enjoy greater prosperity
in the future. Drunkenness has
greatly decreased since the town
went dry" and other business has
increased. Many new residences
have been erected during the year,
as well as several brick business
houses, two new gins, one big roller
mill, spoke factory and other in
dustries have sprung up to benefit
Ripley. Withal, the past year has
been one of great prosperity, not
withstanding the short crop, and the
future is looked forward to with
much anticipation for greater
strides by the people.
