designs the meeting was adjourned
to Friday evening, the Sd. inst. The
work of the council became noised
abroad, and the residents of the ward

protesting against the proposed action.
Names by the scores We're secured.

sides.

CAUCUS IN FIFTH
Voters of the Fifth We ill Hold a
Caucus to Nominate Candidate for
counciIman-say They Are Dissat.
isfied With Present lncumbents.

At least a part Of the voters Of the
Fifth ward are not satisfied with the
men who represent them in the city
council. For that reason a ward eau
Gus is to be held soon, when a candi-
date for councilman will be nomin-
ated. The claim is made that the
wards councilman Is not representa-
tive, and faction Of the voters de-
sire a change.
The caucus may be held Wednesday
night, but the time or place Of meeting
has not yet been determined. 1t is de-
MED that the proposed movement is OF
a prohibition nature, or is backed by
the Home Protectionists and all those
who are interested are after is to Sc
cure councilman to their liking. The
term of office of Anthony Psenicka,
one of the councilmen from the Fifth
ward, expires next spring.

PASSING of William.

"A character known as The Only
William who achieved fame among
the FOUNDERS of New York City some
years ago, died on Wards island last
week. William in his day was the
foremost drink mixer in New York.
He is credited with more seductive
mixtures than all his brethren COM
bined. His book, The Flowing Bowl"

received from these gentlemen. Will

titled, "The Dream Of Thousand An

of his minor products. He always
pities Sir Thomas Dewar, who SEEM
ed to take so much satisfaction out of
the common highball. The only blot
that remained on Williams memory
was that he once consented to act as
bartender in Chicago saloon. 1t took
twenty years to live this down, and
now only his enemies speak of it. 1t
was under Williams deft manipula-
ton that the dry cocktail achieved Its
perfection. He would work for no man
who kept anything but the right goods
wherewith these CONNECTIONS are COM
pounded. The man with morning
crouch never left his smiling presence
unsatisfied. Recently his activities
were confined to the near neighborhood
of Park Row, where his artistic excel
lence was fully appreciated. William
would draw glass of beer for no
man. He had a clerk to attend to that.
When company Of gentlemen enter
ed the refectory over which he pre-
sided William would engage to make
them certain drinks. The man who
took whisky and water plain and
thought he was dissipating was always
an object Of pity to him. To watch the
only William at work was an education
and to hear his commentaries on the
drink in process Of formation was to
excite the appetite beyond all words.
His drinks were creations, In his
nimble fingers and ferved heart there
dwelt the geninus Of one Of the earth's
scientific factors. And then the next
day! Where again is the man who
can be the sponsor of just such day
after feeling that William by his deft-
ness guaranteed? Where are the
broadway Zephyrs," the pleasant
SURPRISE? They are no more, for the
only William is dead and all Park Row
mourns.

call horse laugh. We keep our laugh

$4,000 New Oars For The Pennsylvania
Freish! Business So Immense That Four
Building Concerns Have Rush Orders
To Supply Big Steel Carriers.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com.
pany will purchase IL, 900 freight
cars for delivery next year. Bids
were asked for the construction Of
5000 cars and it is likely that as
many as was ordered this year, H.
900 cars, will be bought for 1906.
After the bids had been received
and the reports from the trapsporta-
ton officers analyzed, it was deemed
advisable, as was predicted. to in
crease the number of cars to be
built to IL, 900.
These cars are to be built by the
following companies: The American
Car & Foundry Company, the
Pressed Steel Car Company. the
Standard Steel Company and the
Cambria Steel Company. The
delivery of these cars is to be begun
early in January and every effort is
to be made to have the contract
completed as early as possible.
There will be five kinds of cars
built. In nearly all instances they
will be constructed to take the places
of cars Of the lesser grade which
have been demolished. There will
be built 1880 standard long gon-
dola cars, 500 high gondolas, 200
box cars and 1000 flat cars.

Pneumatic tubes cast forth their con.

When as q youth Houston taught
school he wore his hair In a long
queue, and was garbed In lowered
hunting shirt of calico. AS Governor
of Tennessee he wore flaming waist
coat and black satin breeches, wide
aad gathered by a puckering string
at the waist. As a master Of Texas
he wore many rings upon his fingers,
a waistcoat of many weird colors, a
vast sombrero Of eccentric proper
tions. AS Indian agent he received
the rebuke of the secretary of War
by reason Of his appearance before
that dignitary In the full regalia of
an Indian warrior. AS Congressman
he wore no coat Of craftsmanship,
but robed himself in gaudy blanket
after fashion OF the Southwest. Bi-
zarres, outre, yet never wholly gro
tesque, Houston was what we would
call impossible to-day. In his own
time he was quite possible.-Outing.
