HOT TAMALEs WITH DRINKS.
A Second Attempt to Introduce Mexi.
 can Delicacy in New York.


 There was tofrid, abrupt, ephe' neral attempt a few years hgo to ill troduce into New York through the agency of picturesque sidewalk vend ors. certain Mexican delicacies, ot which hot tamales and chili con carne were tho chief It was thought by the projectors of this assault on New York palates that these highly splced articles of Mexican make, if retailed by men wearing striped suits and som' breros, would appeal to the craving for culinary novelties supposed to be very strong in every large city.
 There are many reasons why, fheo' retically at least, such a Mexican prod uct as hot tamales should attain some vogue in New York They long age established enduring and peryadine popularity in the west, particularly il St Louis and San Francisco. They have many admirers in New Orleans and throughout Texas, and besides being wholesome they are cheap and require little effort in preparation.
 But the day of hot tamale was ot short duration. New Workers did not take kindly to the new food, however highly it might be spiced.
 There has recently been an effort tt revive these articles of Mexican died for the benefit of New Workers, and ii has come about in a new way. lheJ are being furnished to the New York saloons and are advertised as an attrac ton of such saloons, as single fried oys ters are in the saloons of Philadelphia and Baltimore.
 A hot tamale, if followed by some cooling or palate tempting beverage may gain popularity which was lack ing when sold straight, and the success of the experiment under tte auspices of the man with the white apron rather than the man under the som brero will be watched with a certain interest.

Apparently he is enjoying life as much as ever, despite the fact that he cannot use his left leg on account of that member being wrapped in bandages.

 Rogers, formerly of Norwich, was in blue uniform taking Andersons place at second base.

He was handy with the willow, too, get ting two safe singles and bringing in one run.

PLIGHT OF 4 BOSTON ALDERMAN
AND A LEGISLATOR.
The Curiey Brothers, Democratic Bosses,
Guilty OF Personatlng Two Other Men
at q Ciyil Service Examination-Their
Constituents Haven't Deserted Them.

BOSTON, Nov. 1s.-Although now serving
sentences Of two months impris onment
In the Charles street Jail for defrauding
the Government by peSonating two other
,nen at a civil service examination, Thomas
J.. Curley has been reelected member OF
the House of Representatives and James
+. Curley leader OF the Seventeenth ward
Democracy, has been renoninated for
Alderman.
} There il no doubt about the n election OF
James Curley, for up to the present time
the Democratic city committee has not
taken any steps in the matter. and it is ex-
tremely unlikely that it will interfere.
The truth Of the matter is that the city COM
mittee is afraid 10 lift hand against either
man, and perhaps its members realize that
It would be an almost impossible task to
retire them from politics. for the Curlcys
have n machine OF their own and following
that would do their bidding even to the ex-
tent Of voting the Republican ticket.
A year ago Tom Curley held the Office
20 which he has been II elected, although
even then he was waiting the decision OF
q higher court on an APPEAL taken from
the finding Of the United States District
Court that he was guilty, and Jim Curley
was returned to the Board of Aldermen
by q big vote, most OF his henchmen casting
sbullets' for the man who Is car Of the
Seventeenth ward.
Both men wore hailed as martyrs by
their followers when 1t was announced that
their last efforts to reverse the verdict OF
the jury had been fruitless and that the
United States Supreme Court had discovered
no reason why they should not serve their

due to largeness OF heart, to desire to better
n fellow man, a spirit that never troubled
those who were 80 anxious for our con-
viction.'
The two Curleys were called before Judge
Lowell OF the United States District Court
on the Monday before election day. Every
effort was made at the last moment to in
duce the Court to exercise clemency toward
the defendants.
Their counsel pleaded with the Judge
for is minutes urging their political careers
in the past and their prospects fer the future
as reasons for changing the sentence from
imprisonment to fine, and he called upon
n number OF politicians to address the Court
on the character and ability OF the Curleys.
The lawyer reviewed the action OF the
Legislature last year in refusing to unseat
Representative Curley. He called atten-
ton to the loyalty with which the people
OF the community have supported the
Curleys, and how they, at the last moment,
had shown implicit confidence In them.
