baldhehdcd woman
mo, | never did" replied the busy
man. "And ! never saw a woman
waltzing around town in her shirt
sleeves with u cigar in her teeth anil
running into every saloon she saw.
Neither did | ever see woman sitting
all day at a street corner on dry
goods box telling people how the sec
retary OF the treasury should run the

woman go hslsng with bottle in her

seen woman yank OF her coat and
say she could lick any man in town.

and the hounds of reform were on their trail. It was Pats" duty as a district leader to succor the poor lads who had done nothin' but help a friend win an election" It was his duty as a magistrate to frown on law breaking. He went to California. Then the present Senator Foley. younger, less wealthy. less capacious of steak. slipped into the breach and helped the men all he could, which was not enough. But he got the lead ership of the district. and Divver was never able to get 1t away from him again, though he spent money like water. The murderous riotings and shootings of the rival Eastman and Kelley gangs in that part of the city rose from these exciting and profitable contests for party supremacy.

 Paul Kelley and Monk Eastman are the leaders of the two most famous gangs of today, each bearing. its lead CTS name. Each is small man, though full enough of desperate fighting pluck. Neither will ever shine politically. Kelley is full-blooded Italian, with . long name too cumbersome for the firing line of gangdom. Once in his boyhood he was hauled into . prize fighting club and pitched out upon the stage. What is your name?" his in- troducer asked. The lad had ready wit. "Paolo Kelley" he replied; the latter name stuck, especially after he "licked". his opponent; the former was simplifled. Monk Eastman is . na- tive American, but degenerate. The most famous fight these two gangs ever had was in the early morning, following the great primary in which the regular" Tammany champion knocked out Bill Devery's man for leader in the Pump district" where Devery lives. One gang was repeat ing on one side, the other gang on the other-a thing not possible, by the way. at election. When 1t was all over both gangs, full of rum and loaded with money rolled down toward tho east side, where they live. There was bound to be collision. It was a battle. Every man was armed; the wonder was that no more than one man was fatally hurt.

Fifteen years ago I might have written because good athlete" but scholarship and athleticism have both grown more exacting.

 Mayor Mcclellan has been plenty criticized for appointing a man like Battery Dan to any kind of judge ship; really he might have done worse. His honor has lived lifetime down among the rough and ready rousta- bouts that load ships for far voyages, and what he doesn't know about hu- man nature is hardly worth knowing. In common with the other Tammany leaders, he has wonderful memory for faces, and an invincible kindliness for the erring. Upon his first day on the bench he announced his policy. in a message to the court attaches and personal friends, who had piled $500 worth of rare orchids on his desk. He said that he thought when man had been locked up over night for drunkenness he had been punished enough; at any rate, that further pun ishment would fall upon his family, rather than himself Nineteen times out of twenty that is true.
 { A city magistrate in New York gets $7,000 a year. A municipal court jus tice. practically justice of. the peace, gets $6,0O0 a year. These are good salaries for obscure men. The justices must be lawyers; the magistrates need not be. But they are supposed to have common sense and knowledge of men.
 There is apt to be some queer char acter of strongly marked personality upon both benches. Before Battery Dan" was the great Pat Divver." Pat was the champion beefsteak eater of the city. with a record of il pounds at a sitting. Ex-Mayor Van Wyck once ate seven pounds. Divver was noun tain of man, rich from saloon keep ing.
