SEVERAL CANDIDATES
Willing to Take Up the Burdens OF
the Tax Collector.

At the special meeting of the CITY
government which will be held in the
City hall. this evening, it is quite
probable that the resignation OF IaA
Collector S. n. Maxcy, laid upon the
table from the last session. will be ac-
cepted. If the resignation is accepted,
Il successor to Mr.. MaXcy must neeos
be appointed. There are a number OF
candidates in the field, and all are re-
garded as having equal chances.
The very nominal salary paid the
city tax collector is not one that re-
COmmends the post, and as the position
is not particularly an honorary one,
it appears that the city fathers VIII
feel called upon to make an appre-
ciable increase in the salary paid.
Heavy bonds are demanded from
the citizen appointed as collector and
on one occasion an appointee was un-
able to furnish bonds, not through any
question of his integrity. but rather Oh
account of the doubt that the taxes
could be collected within a stipulated
period.
The session of the board of aldermen
and the city council. this evening,
promises to be most interesting.

A jefferson Anecdote.

Joseph Jefferson once told 4 friend
that during his long stage career he
had never been associated with any
one showing undue familiarity with
him save one Individual man named
Bagley. who some years ago was prop
erty man in the comedians company
This Ragley annoyed Mr. Jefferson
very much by his somewhat offensive
manners, but. owing to the valuable
services rendered by him, Mr.. Jeffer-
son had always been loath to take
measures more severe than a repri-
mand. But finally the familiarity of
the property man increased to an eX-
tent impossible to endure. so he was
summarily discharged. This dismissal
occurred just before the opening of Mr..
Jefferson's engagement one year in
Baltimore.
That night Bagley got exceedingly
drunk. Paying his way into the thea
tire. he repaired to the gallery. there
to see his old employer enact Rip Van
Wrinkle.
The angry Gretchen had just driven
poor. destitute Rip from the cottage,
when Rip turns. and. with a word of
pathos. asks: Den I haf no interest
in der house?" The theatre was DEATH
ly still, the audience half in tears.
when Bagley's cracked voice was
heard in response:

only eighty per cent.''-Harper's

SATURDAY NIGHTS STORY.
At First Thought That Nine Men Had
Perished.

Highland Light, Mass, Dec. Ii
While the Boston fishing schooner Fish
Hawk was pounding hard on Peaked
Hill bars at s o'clock, last night, nine
of the crew of Is men fearing that their
vessel would go to pieces, attempted
to reach shore in their dories. but were
probably all lost in the surf. One body
had been recovered at midnight by the
lifesavers Of the High Head station.
The schooner worked free from her
precarious position and reached Prov
incetown. three hours later when the
loss of the seamen was reported
While the Fish Hawk was still on
the bars signals of distress Were seen
by the lifesavers of the High Head sta
tion. who later picked up three dories
that had been washed ashore. As
these dories contained oars and sailors
clothes bags it was believed that the
boats had been lost while being loaded
in preparation for leaving the threat
ened craft. The signals from the fish
ermen were few and when they disap-
peared 1t was believed that tn vessel
had slid off and proceeded with no
greater mishap that the loss of her
dories.
'ss Not until the arrival Of the Fish

boat under the keel; 1t seemed she
must be upset and men and boxes
whelmed in hte sea unless miracle
happened. But the miracle did happen.
AS the fish cutter righted she scoope1
onto her deck the boat with its boxes
and its crew. The incident all seemed
to happen within fraction OF a
second. Not man upon the fish cut
ter had the time to throw out rope
Warrisden saw the cutters tulwarks
dip, the sailor falling in the boat and
the boat upon the deck Of the cutter in
so swift a succession that ne had not
yet realized disaster was inevitable be-
fore disaster was avoided.
The sailor rose from the bottom Of
the boat and stepped on deck, stall

From the Perseverance, sir. Four

soon as he had landed in ProvincetoWn

The Fish Hawk, which had been fish,

a gale and a thick snOwstOrm set in.
Tn. little schooner battled against the
h.avy seas until S O'Clock, tonight,
when she suddenly brought up on the
eastern end of Peaked Hill bars. Her
position was critical. Realizing his
danger Captain Bly, burned a distress
signal which was answered almost i'm
mcdiately by the North Patrol of High
Head station. The lifesavers' signal
WAS not only seen by those on the YES
and in Il few minutes the entire crew,
headed by Captain Keller, were on
their way down to the beach. Mean
while nine of the IS men on the schOon-
er had became terrified and hastily
throwing Some of their clothing i ntO
their bags they launched three dories
and started for shore. They had been

nothing could be seen of the men who

that they would reach the shore in

IL o'clock, last night.

We're scattered along the beach opposite
the bars waiting for some signal from
the vessel. While they were on the beach
the dories were discovered in the surf
and they were dragged ashore with hand
lines. There were no signs of life in them
but the clothes bags We're in the stern
and the oars on the seats. The appear

on the vessel had made preparations to
leave her and then changed their minds

We're doubled.
Shortly after II came the word from
Captain Bly, of the loss of his nine men
AMI about the same time one of the pa

before the life savers could drag the body
ashore but when they reached it it was

the same time the most effective inter-
view printed from Washington foF
months. The Senator feels quite conn-
dent that no tariff revision is likely u
| be undertaken at an extra session OF
Congress. Probably the discussion o1
the subject is still far trCm being at an
end among the Republican leaders.
They, as we'll as the President,
propose to go into the details of the
situation which will be viewed from
every possible standpoint. At the same
time, it is plain that some very cogent
reasons, not yet advanced. must be
discovered to quicken the revision agi-
tation.
Representative Samuel L. Powers OF
Newton, Mass, one of the wits OF th'
House, is planning to prepare a lecture
on the bright sayings of the late Speakel
Reed. Judge Powers retires from Con-
gress voluntarily at the end OF the pres
ent session. He is an ardent admirer OF
the great Maine man and believes that
the time will soon come when audiences
would like to hear anew some 81 Reed :
witty sayings. As Judge Powers is him
self very attractive talker, the subJect
should be an interesting one as treated
by him. He is having his clerk go
through files of newspapers, this winter,
to Gull out Reeds jokes. When Mr. Reed
was Speaker the local papers especially
were repeating Reeds words and from
time to time Reed jokes We're printed
long after he laid down the gavel and
indeed after his death.
Judge Powers will also consult Repre-
sentative Allen, who was many years as
sociated with Mr. Reed and possibly
knew him more intimately than any other
man in public life. Mr.. Allen was an
intense admirer of the exSpeaker and had
opportunities for hearing and noting
things that were sald than did others.
1t is not infrequent nowadays that Re
publicans wonder whether the party will
not sigh for Reed when the next Con-
gress gets in session. No other Spea>e
the House ever had could restrain an un-
ruly body of members as wCll as he. II
is a terrific strain upon any Speaker IL
have a majority Of over l0o behind HIM
The tendency is stronger than ever fol
such a majority to run away. Mr.. Cannon
has made an excellent Speaker. a fan
better feelings prevails among the indi-
yihual members of the House than was
he case under Mr.. Reed. However, Mr..
Cannon has not the same ability TO surE
the demands of members rs MIR. Reed had.
lie may find a way to keep the majority
from running away with him. for he is (;
resourccfu man and rules in a iar differ

stomach after eating, and the nerves

such. 1t is perfect folly to assist the
stomach with dyspepsia remedies and

proper treatment is to build up the
