NEW YORK GOSSIP
WEEKLY RESUME OF
MEN AND EVENTS

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-After all it
seems that New York will not have
such terrible time under the adminis-
tration of Tammany hall. Mayor Nc
Clellan who does his first real work in
his new office today is man of ex-
amplary character and he has sur
rounded himself with a cabinet of men
whose regulations have stood the clos
est scrutiny. What the city wants is
"a clean, fair and square government
and If these men will continue to live
up to all that they have planned
Tammany will have, at the end of two
years done more to redeem itself in
the eyes of New Workers. than ever be-
fore in it's history.
One thing is certain and that is that
Tammany will have to "go slow in
the matter of spending money. The
administration which has just retired
added enormously, though necessarily,
to the city debt and the margin over
the city's bonded Indebtedness will
prove too small for further issue. for
city Improvements proposed and under
consideration. AS a result Tammany's
chance to do crooked work. IL there is
really any such intention in existence,
will not come until 1t makes up the
appropriation for next year.
A salary raising fever has been rag
ing in the city departments, but 1t is
doubtful IL 1t will last; in fact the
new board of aldermen is said to have
gone on record as intending to check II.
To allow the increases that have been
asked would mean a serious Gripping
of the heads of the departments as they
would be practically without leeway in
the salaries accounts. The board of
estimate will not take action of the
matter for some time.
There is no truth in the rumor that
negotiations to form a great beer COM
bination are in progress among brew
ers. Experience has SHOWN that sim
liar movements in other cities have
proved detrimental to the trade. Some
of the smaller breweries may be ANAL
gamated with one or another large con-
Germs, but there Is no likelihood of a
concerted movement to organize a
trust.
Another matter pertaining to drinks
or stimulants is also engaging the pub
lie attention but in a different way.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of Mount Vernon, one of the
leading suburban towns of New York
City have started a crusage against
confectioners who sell brandy drops to
children which promises to be waged
with vigor. 1t is asserted that the sale
of these drops has become so alarm
ing in Mount Vernon that mothers
whose children have been in the habit
of buying this sort of candy deemed it
necessary to bring the matter to the
attention of the w. C. T. u, which is
composed of the most prominent
women in town.

Unlike Saturdays game, that of yester-
day was marked by many spectacular
plays. SO that the crowds on the grand
stand, bleachers and sides of the diamond
had ample opportunity for cheering, and
We're kept in constant state of excite
ment and suspense. The game was notably
remarkable for the pitching of Seitz OF
Georgetown and Underhill of Princeton,
both of whom held on with fine nerve
throughout the entire contest. Probably the
most sensational. as well as, next to the
pitching, the most telling work of the
game, was done by Apperious of George

enabling the latter to put out Princeton
men on their way home with scores. THESE
throws were made in the last part OF the
game when the score was a tie, and, doubt
less. saved the game for Georgetown. The
rooters went mad and sought to carry
Sam around on their shoulders after the
game Captain Morgan Of Georgetown
who is so good on third base, also came In
for his share of applause during the bat
tie and afterward.
ITnderhill in his pitching proved to be an
enigma to some of Georgetown's best
knockes, notably Morgan. His work was on
the whole little more even than his OPP
ponents. For a short time in the seventh
inning when Princeton scored. Seitz went
somewhat wild. but he pulled himself to-
gether and finished as strong as Cnderhill.
The Princeton boys consider that they
have had some very good practice In
Washington for their games with northern
colleges later in the season.

Cuban House in Disorder.

A cabiegram from Havana yesterday
says:
The scene in the house of representatives
yesterday was one of wild disorder. AS a
matter of fact, there was no formal open
ing of the house owing to the inability to
muster quorum for the reason that every
nationalist member refused to enter the
chamber, the nationalist fearing that If the
question of contested seats arose. they
would be outvoted by the coalition lately
arranged between the republicans and mod
crate liberals
The nationalists, however came into the
building accompanied by several hundred
local followers, who crowded into the audi
ence part of the chamber and into the halls
and streets adjoining. shouting Vivas' for
the nationalist party. The republicans and
moderate liberals for the most part re-
manned in their seats.
During the confusion, the speaker of the
house. who is nationalist, not being pres
ent, the vice speaker called upon the ser
geant-at-arms and the employees of the
house to preserve order, but the crowd was
too great to handle. Lionaz Castillo, a
prominent nationalist. who was one OF those
elected, mounted the reporters table, and,
addressing the crowd. assured 1t that JUS
tice would be done, and that the represent
tatives who had been fraudulently declared
elected would never be permitted to take
their seats.
