In spite of decision by the court OF
appeals, which was adverse 10 him on
all points, William r. Hearst will con-
tinue by all legal means 10 contest for
the mayoralty. This was definitely
determined early last week.
That Mayor Mcclellan will receive a
certificate of election without opposi-
ton on the part of Hearst forces is
probable, however, as the decision rem
dered is so serious a setback 10
Hearsts chances as TO make next TO
impossible any real opposition before
the first of the year. An appeal has
been made 10 the Legislature for the
enactment of law to provide for a
recount of all the ballots cast at the
last election.
The recent celebration of Chester s.
Lords twenty-five years service as
managing editor OF the New York Sun
was the occasion of some very hand
some tributes TO that gentleman and
10 the position he has filled during
that tine. No better compliment could
be paid 10 the managing editor of
newspaper than Mr.. Laffan's remark
that it was always a supreme salts
faction TO the editor-in-chief and pro-
prietor TO be able 10 go away with the
realization Mr.. Lord was in charge.

The evils of the noisy and startling
devices used by automobiles have fore
ed themselves upon the ears of the
public which will coincide with the
very sensible views enuciated by
President Morris Of the Automobile
Club of America. This official, at the
head Of this great representative New
York organization, may be fairly re-
gGrded as the spokesman of the sensi-
bic and sane automoblists OF the coun-
try. He says that there is naturally
and properly a decided objection on
the part Of the people who use the
streets and highways to the powerful
searchlights and ear-piercing whistles
and horns with which some Of the au-
Norris desires that automobiles shall
become popular, and he and his organi-
zation have set their face steadily
against all the extremists who have
done so much to make them unpopu-
lar. Therefore it is no surprise to see
him at this time taking a firm stand
against these horrible horns, whistles
and binding searchlights which fright
en- horses and make the automobile
an object of personal dislike.
A renewed effort is now being made
to retain the grain traffic, a leading
feature being reduced elevator charges
which are greater here than in rival
ports. The grain receipt in one week
recently were 4S0,500 bushels being
nearly one quarter of the entire output
to Atlantic and Gulf ports. New York
also now holds the same precedence in
the corn trade and the great question
at present is how to retain this unex-
pected precedence.
Sweet corn amateurs will be interest
ed in the favorable report of the
packers which gives the output of the
present year as far greater than that
of last year-which was 11,462, $50
cases each containing two dozen cans
What an immense supply but it will
all be wanted as it is one of the cheap

New York supplies 100000 cases and

The increasing tendency toward the
employment of women in positions of
trust by financial institutions is thus
explained by the president of one of
the largest banks in the country. The
feeling is gaining ground that women
are, on the whole, more honest than
men. A considerable number of wom- d.
en- are now rendering satisfactory SER
vice as cashiers and tellers, handling
large sums daily without loss or error.
One of the most conspicuous traits in
the feminine nature is fidelity to trust.
Speculation, the chief pitfall OF de-
faulting employees. does not attract
women as il does men. Cards and
drink also drag down many a male
employe and these, again. are more
particularly masculine vice. Some
of the largest banks in this city are
