THE NEXT MAYOR.
Republicans Discussed Probable
Candidates for The Nomination.

Last night a few of the republican
leaders gathered at the republican
headquarters to discuss the nomina-
tion for mayor at the coming election.
Quite a number of names were pre-
scented, but none of them seemed to
quite meet the approval OF those pre-
sent. Postmaster Roddy was thought
of as a candidate for mayor, but that
was out of the question owing to his
position under the government. A.
ii Sloyer's name was mentioned and
also DR.. Haines' and several others.

Thoughts Inspired by the Thing Of
a New York Subway
Station.

One man who got rid of his appen-
dix with less trouble than some others
who have to undergo an operation has
nevertheless been unable to reconcile

His Criticism.

The ancient driver on the Fifth ave.
nue. stage had driven for three blocks
without saying a word, which is a
long time for a Fifth avenue stage
driver. Ho broke his silence when an
open hanson passed. 1t held a woman,
a Jap dog AID a Boston terrier.
"Shucks! . said the driver. indicating
the hanson with a flourish of his whip.
Then he was silent for another block.
"Shucks!" he repeated, finally. "Ba-
bies is lots nicer,"-N. Y. Sun.

Serving Papers in Texas Panhandle.
'In my part of the country" said
Sheriff Smith of the Texas Panhandle.
1--WE take no chances of a prisoner get
ting away. So long as we have the pa
pers we are justified in shooting on the
first symptom of a desire to escape.
You have all heard the story of the
Texas sheriff who used to ram his war
rant down the muzzle of a shotgun,
and then fire at his man, satisfied that
the paper had been served upon him
before the shot went home. That
sounds like an exaggeration, but with
the class of men We have to deal with
in the Panhandle il comes pretty near
being a fact.S-San Francisco Chroni-

AccidentIy Shot in Leg.
Ulysse Meaux, son of Jules
Meaux constable of the eighth
ward, was accidently shot in the
leg on Saturday Sept. %. suf-
fering q very painful. but not
serious wound. The accident
was a peculiar one. Mr.. Meaux
and his two sons, Ulysse and
Paul, were at home at the time,
the two young men, sitting just
behind their father. Mr.. Meaux
had his pistol in his pocket, and
as he rose to leave the room the
weapon caught and fell TO the
floor. AS it struck, it dis
charged and the bullet pierced
Ulysses leg, and had it not been
for the fact that Paul had moved
at the instant of the explosion,
he too would have been wounded,
perhaps seriously.

ible as it may seem, that this
young fellow can and does play
the scores of these two operas
in q very satisfactory manner on
the banjo-even when unaccom-
panied by any other instrument;
and l firmly believe that he could
do the .Ts0elfA Rhapsody or the
Sonata Rathetiqwe in q way just

dered on the piano-forte. And
at the same time he is perfectly

music of the day, including all
kinds of ''rag'-and in one piece

"Woa! You Heifer!", he can al
most make the strings articulate
these words. But it is in the
soft Lydian airs, the old time
love songs, drunk with moonlight
and filed with the infinite pas
sion and the pain of finite hearts
that yearn-it is in these that he
is supreme. The harmony with
which he can intone the immor-
tai strains of Annie Laurie" or
The Last Rose of Summer"
would bring tears to all the Love
Sprites that ever fitted along
the moonlit banks of Bayou Yer
million.
The young mans name is
J. Downing, and, on
further inquiry as to 'how he
happened" I've learned that he
is really q professional musician
and has played on the Orpheum

Bureaus in the country.
