TWO CORONERS
OUT FOR MAYOR
NELSON AND WILLIAMS MAY
BOTH SEEK NOMINATION.
Former Will Draw Large Vote from
Scandinavian Population and Adj
herents Of Organized Labor-Lat-
tcr's Vote-Getting Ability Will Be
Strong Argument.

In the republican race for mayor
atty honors this year. it is likely. two
prominent republicans who have
served as coroner will find themselves
pitted against each other.
While but two republicans have yet
declared themselves John A Schlener
and Wallace G. Nye, there has ap-
peared on the political horizon Coro-
ner U. G. Williams, and close behind
him looms the former coroner and
city physician, Henry S. Nelson, some
time candidate. for the republican
nomination against Alderman Fred
M. Powers. Neither OF the physicians
has yet declared himself.
If Coroner Williams comes into the
race, he will doubtless make a strong
argument Of the vote-getting ability
he displayed in the last campaign.
when he and County Treasurer D. G..
Bell led the ticket by nearly 5000
votes and he defeated his democratic
opponent by 1900 votes. DR.. Mel
son will be able to use to some advan-
tage his successful repelling of the at
tacks made upon him while city ply
stefan. He could also reply for sup
port on the Scandinavian element and
the friendship of organized labor.
AS it is practically certain that Dr..
Williams will declare himself candi-
date, there will be opportunity for a
hustling and ambitious candidate to
enter the lists for coroner.

East Side Park Plan.

The East Side park plan was CON
firmed by a vote of II to l., but was
later tied UP by notice Of a motion
to reconsider. The park board will
pay $1S,775 for the block lying be-
tween the East high school and the
International auditorium, but proposes
that the money be raised in the gen
eral levy, which requires the approval
of the council.
Only $4,000 was offered for the ma
chinery at the west pumping station
which cost many thousands of dollars
originally, but which has now little
value except as scrap iron.
The new theater building ordinance
was passed without comment. The
ordinance is satisfactory to the Off
Gals Of the fire department and the
building inspection, except in the one
clause which exempts the old thea
ters from the requirements of a sprin
kler system over the stage. The thea
ter managers objected to this for va
rious reasons, and the aldermen de
cided that inasmuch as the loca
stages were well supplied with stand
pipes, hose and chemicals, sprinkler
were unnecessary.

NEW BRIDGE BIDS
BE Be CALLED FOR.
POWERS FIGHT FOR LOWEST
BIDDER PROVES FUTILE.
New Bids on Creosoted Wood Paving
: Show Lower Figures-The New
Theater Ordinance Is Passed With
out Debate-East Side Park Plan
i'm the Air.

New bids for the iron work for the
new bridge across the river at Thirty
second avenue N were ordered last
night by the city council and all bid
ders will be required to conform to
plans prepared along the line of sug-
gestions by the Minneapolis Steel and
Machinery company.
Alderman Powers opposed this
plan, maintaining that inasmuch as
there had been an honest compett-
ton and the lowest bidder had sub
mitted plans which would secure a
bridge perfectly safe and within the
load provided for in the specifications,
the only business-like way was to
award the contract to the Arm which iss
support Of Powers, and after some
desultory talking, in which Alderman
A. e. Merrill quoted Assistant City
Engineer Dutton as holding that the
bid Of the Modern Steel Structural
company was not within the specifi-
cations, Powers minority report to
award the contract was lost
The fight started by Alderman Pow
ers on the creosOted wood block paw
| ing resulted much more satisfactorily.
The new bids which came in dropped
the price on Norway pine blocks
from $3.50 per square yard to $3.50,
| and on Georgia pine from STA to
| $1.54. The lowest bidder is the local
concern, the Republic Creosoting COM
pany, and the new bids will result in
saving Of from $4,000 to $4,000.
Dryer and Duryea Downed.
Alderman James Dwyer started his
| fight against an appropriation OF
$500 for a compilation Of the ordi-
nances of the city, arguing that it
was a plain waste of public funds.
In case the new charter was adopted,
the work and the money would have
gone for naught. Dwyer lost his fight
Alderman Nels J. Nelson also saw
his pet project defeated. He wanted
his "$2 a day. resolution withdrawn
from the special committee which was
lodging, and which had no intention
of making a report until after the
| election. Most of the aldermen dc
| not wish to go on record on this res
olution, and last evening voted tc

EAT BEFORE DINING OUT,
Polite Women Never Take Their Ap.
petite to the Table of O
Society Friend.

"A woman we'll versed in the customs
of good society will never so far dis
grace herself as to go hungry to dinner
at q friends house. To do so will be
vulgar in the extreme. II she desires
to show proper regard for her hostess
she will take something before going.
1t may be just o cup Of hot tea, perhaps
a stimulant in the way of a cup of black
,offee; or, better than all, a cup of hot
milk and a biscuit. This braces up the
nerves. stays the stomach and keeps the
body we'll nourished until it is time for
dinner, says a domestic journal.
The woman who sets out for a formal
dinner party without eating anything
before she goes run the risk of faintness
and dullness before the dinner hour.
She is certainly much less alert than the
n who takes a bite before starting out.
The most successful beauties are those
who do not eat a great deal at a dinner
party. They take a bite of this and a
taste of that, but nothing more. They
90 not pretend to do more than taste the
dishes, and they are rewarded for their
abstemiousness by the brilliant complex
ion, the clear eyes, and the sharp wits of
the m who is at peace with her
digestion.
Great beauties eat very little, and
what they do eat is of the simplest and
most nourishing sort. While they never
refuse delicacies, they do not eat heartily
of them, reserving the appetite for the
simpler and more nourishing viands.

A New Justice in the Supreme Court

One of the strange customs of the

It is rigidly adhered to. Although the

price is Invariably $500 each. She is q
specialist in this line of tailoring and
knows the details so we'll that the lit
is the only thing which gives her Gus
toners concern.
The robes are worn off the bench only
whtn the court is taking part in some OIL
fetal ceremony. They may be worn to
an official funeral. They are always
used by the court at the presidential In
augural ceremonies, on which occasion
the chief justice administers the oath

In a robe with scarlet facing, but such
a robe has not been seen in the court
! room during the past 100 years. The
walls C this room are hung with new and
secondhand robes, giving the place a
somber appearance.
In earlier times the justices wore wigs
and knee trousers. The lawyers were
required to appear before court in full
suits of black, with rufled shirts, knee
trousers, silk hose and low shoes with
silver buckles.
A black frock coat is now the only
distinctive article of dress worn by the
bar, though no form of dress is now OBJ

LANDS GOOD POSITION.
Former New Brunswick Man Ap-
pointed by the Governor.

New Brunswick, Apr. 26:-Ex-
Alderman Samuel G. Farrell has been
appointed by Governor Murphy as
q tenement house inspector. The ap-
pointment will take effect May l and
will last indefinitely. The salary is
81. 900 a year. He will act under in
structions from the State Tenement
House Commission, of which Charles
J. Allen, of Newark, is secretary.
Mr.. Farrell is now holding a posi-
tion with a wall paper concern in
Haokensack. He will probably move
back to this city, where he has kept
up his home. While Mr.. Farrell will
devote the best part of his time to his
new position. it is probable he will be
able to use some of his time for other
interests.
Mr.. Farrell received his appoint
ment through the efforts of Senator
jackson, though the Governor favored
him for personal reasons. Senator
Jackson was informed on Saturday of
the appointment.
