Isn't 1t a fact, Captain asked coun

MOI fairly screamed Price. II never

man lived who dared charged me with

o'Br,en then took the stand. He adj
mitted that he told the ex-Captain there
were a number OF charges penang
against him, and that he was n nice
specimen to be dispensing justice.
"Are there indictments pending

Gov. Odell's veto OF the Remsen East
River Gas bill is expected to prove
The strongest card the Republicans Will
nave in the State campaign this All.
Local Republican leaders were jubilant
this afternoon when informed OF the
Governors action.
When the Governor ~nounc MS
veto to-day he said he would oilo
It with a memorandum setting iorth
the reasons that actrated~ him. n
memorandum will be held in the Ex-
ecutive Chamber until tonight. when II
will be given to the press.
Mayor Mcclellan and the Tammany
organization are braced for a scathing
roast. 1t Is Anticipated that the Gov
ernor will take advantage OF this veto
TO fay Tammany with all the power at
his command. Tho impression among
politicians is that the veto Is for pollt-
zeal effect solely. because some of the
Governors closest friends were inter
csted in the passage OF the Remsen hill
in the Legislature.
Ready to Sign Last Year.
1t is recalled by Tammany men that
the Governor would have signed the bill
last year after Mayor Low vetoed it.
but was informed by the Attorney-Gen-
eral that the action of the Mayor was
ANAL in killing the bill and could not be
overrldden by the State Executive.
The burden of the Governors memo
randum Is expected to be that the real
protector of the interests of the people
OF this city is the Republican party.
Should the Governor sign the Niagara
Falls grab his machine followers look
upon the effect of that to be discounted
by his veto of the Remsen measure.

reached Wall street at the hour Of the
opening OF the Stock Exchange. Some
speculaturs expected that the veto
would depress the price of Consolidated
Gas stock, The effect was contrary. as
the STOCK advanced l.2 points. An
extraordinary feature OF this stock Is
that when Mayor Mcclellan approved
the bill the price OF Consolidated de-
clined . points.
The news that Gov. odell had vetoed
the Remscn Gas bill did not reach the
office of Mayor Mcclellan until his Sec
rotary was informed OF the fact by an
Evening World reporter. Mayor Nc
Clellan'had no comment to make.
The chief objection to the Remsen
East River Gas bill was that It be-
slowed upon the gas monopoly OF this
city a perpetual franchise, that It did
not provide for proper payments to the
city n that the passagei OF the bill
by the Legislature was a violation OF
the nome rule principle. inasmuch rs
the officials OF the city had the power
TO grant a franchise.
The Objectionable section extended to
the East River Gas Company. its sue
cessors and assigns" the powers and
privileges ''hereinbefore conferred in
the borough of Queens, "as we'll as In
the territory hercinbefore expressly in
cluded."
1t is common talk in Tammany that
Gov. odell's veto of tho bill was occa-
stoned by Mayor McClellan's veto OF
the Municipal Courts measure. This
latter bill was a~dRepublican pet just
as the gas bill is alleged to have been
a Tammany deal. in which also certain
Republicans were interested.

chestnuts Cure for Liouor H,h;+

Philadelphia Recpd: There should
be less drunkenness at this season OF
the year than at any other lime" said
a specialist in disorders who
has a private sanitarium for the treat
ment of wealthy dipsomaniacs. TT is
not generally known-in fact, I claim
the honor of the discovery-that roast
ed chestnuts are a good antidote for
liquor. The average man who drinks
under high nervous pressure. not for
the sake Of sociability, but because the
alcohol stimulates him to a greater ef-
fort, is the one whose nervous system
is most quickly undermined. He NAV
never get drunk, but there is a con-
stantademand for oyer-stimulation that
works damage in the end. No sooner
does the effect Of one drink wear off
than there is a craving for another.
Now. If that mar would eat a few
roasted chestnuts instead of taking an.
other drink when the feeling comes on
him, he would find that the SUBSTANCE
Of the nuts. having quickly absorbed
the liquor already in the system. had
appreclably decreased his longing for
more alcoholic. stimulant. It isn't a
theory. 1 know 1t to be true"
