WEAVER HAS MAYORALTY BEE
Councilman from "siIk stocking" Is
Seeking Democratic Nomination.


Alderman John p. Weaver. who repre-
sents the Fourth or as 1t is commonly
known, the silk stocking" ward in the
city council, is nursing a mayoralty bee
in his bonnet. At least this is what his
friends say. Mayor Macrae has announced
that he will not be candidate for re-
nomination next spring, and It is stated
that Alderman Weaver will seek the demo-
cratic nomination.
Since his election to the city council
Alderman Weaver has taken very active
and almost leading part in the affairs Of
the municipality and all Of this is under
stood to be but a preface to his candi-
dacy for mayor next spring,
Members of the democratic party who
profess to know what they are talking
about say that there will be a warm old
time in the ranks OF that party next spring
and that several members of the present
administration will be greatly disappointed
in not being renominated.

DID NOT MOVE DRUG STORE

Attempt to Transfer ROOI stock to
Omaha stOpped by Injunction,
An attempt OF G. W. Root proprietor
or the drug store at cit South Main street
TO remove his stock and fixtures across the
river to Omaha and out of the state Of
Iowa last night was frustrated by Chief OF
Police Richmond. Eleven big moving
wagons were brought over from Omaha
TO haul the stun. but at 10 O'Clock last night
they were forced to return to Omaha as
empty as when they left there.
The caravan of eleven large wagons. al
most forming a circus-lil1e parade, neces-
sarily attracted more than ordinary atten-
tc1 and aroused speculation as to their
mission. The string of wagons halted on
Eighth avenue between Main and Sixth
streets, waiting for orders to line up at the
store The drivers in charge protested
ignorance Of the stock they were TO move.
but as Il was known that Roots store had
been closed all day suspicion pointed in its
direction.
Chief Richmond suspected that everything
was not as it should be, and finding that
Louis H. Mosler, living at 59s South Fourth
street, was owner OF the building sent for
him. From Mr.. Mosler It was learned that
Root had a hve-year lease on the building,
and IL was stated that there was 500 rent
due. Mr.. Mosler at once sought an attor-
ney and later secured an Injunction re-
straining the removal OF the stock. In
the meantime. however, Major Richmond
forbid the removal of the goods despite
the protests of George Lavidge, city sales
man for Bruce Co. of Omaha, who APP
peared TO have charge OF the removal,
Mr. Lavidge's explanation OF the removal
on Sunday night was that Mr.. Root was
under contract TO take possession OF a drug
store in Omaha by Monday morning or else
forfeit $500. This explanation, however,
did not satisfy Major Richmond and he
placed several officers at the front and rear
OF the store with orders to prevent the re-
moval of anything from IT,
When the representatives OF the Omaha
company realized that Major Richmond
meant what he said they ordered the
wagons back 70 Omaha and the caravan
drove on Major Richmond then was given
the keys OF the store and he placed an
omeer In charge over night. Some In
terestIng developments in the matter are
looked for today.
The entire stock and fixtures had beer
packed ready for removal and had the
wagons come later In the night it is likely
the removal would have been made without
interference. MIR. Root stated that tn,
store had been closed for the last three
Sundays and Il was learned that these days
had been utilized in packing the stuis
The sight OF the wagons lined up in from
OF the store attracted large crowd anC

wagons were ordered back to Omaha, wheI
the crowd dispersed.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July s.-Thousands of
delegates to the nineteenth reunion of the
Benevolent and Protective order OF Elks
arrived here today and we're given
hearty welcome as they marched through
the gaily decorated streets. Every dele
cation was met by a section of the re-
ception committee and a band and escorted
to their quarters. The Automobile club OF
Buffalo entertained the grand lodge men,
bers today and gave them a delightful
ride through the citys parks and avenues
and along the Niagara frontier.
With the arrival OF prominent members
OF the order many booms have been

 weighing nearly 300 pounds apiece, plunged forward, maddened by the noise, and pull as would soon found
 I was no match for them. and they simply tore the reins out of my hands.
 My assistant was game, and held on
 to the shafts in spite of my shouts to "let go." He stuck to his post until he was jerked off his feet, and not until he had been dragged along the road for more than 50 yards did he obey orders. Freed from his weight, the buffaloes increased their speed. and the cart, now having noth- ing to guide 1t, shot from one side of the road to the other and back again. Presently 1t struck a clump of bushes, and turned end over end, and the calves, believing with fright, galloped too fast to give 1t chance to right

DEEP INJUSTICE TO BOSTON
Real Size of the City Is Misrepre- sented by Figures of the
 Census.

The census figures just published show a population for Boston of 593,' 59S. But what Boston? Not the Bos- ton comprised in the metropolitan wa ter system, or the metropolitan sewer age system, or the metropolitan park system. It is obviously only the Bos- ton that sleeps here O nights, says the Globe.
 The city of London shows a popu- lation of 27,000. But what London Is that? It is a small, circumscribed area that nobody ever thinks of as the real London that spreads its great body out over SO many districts. Speaking in these narrow terms, Boston is much more than 20 times larger than Lon don.
 All other great American cities show figures of population which are real. Boston alone shows figures which do not represent by half her real popula- tion. Practically no Chicagoans live outside of Chicago, no Philadelphians outside of Philadelphia, no St Louisi- ans outside of St Louis, and New York has gathered in substantially all her people save those that sleep in New Jersey.
 The cities and towns comprising the metropolitan district, or. as 1t Is often called, Greater Boston, show very large gains in the census figures. and give a population of nearly a million and quarter. which very properly may be accepted as the real population of the real Boston.

TOWN OF sEBAsToPoL AN UP
 To-DATE PLACE.
At the Foot of Malakoff Hill-Route of the Charge of the Light Bri- gade-Harbor and Town of
 Balaklava.

On the 8th of September, 1855, the French captured the Malakoff, a strongly fortified hill which command ed the town and harbor of Sebastopol, and that same night the Russians blew up the forts Nicholas, Quarantine and Alexander, and the Flagstaff and Gar den batteries, scuttled their fleet and, after setting fire to the town, crossed by bridge of boats to the north side of the harbor and evacuated the place after a siege of ten months. This practically terminated the Crimean war. To-day the state of the Crimea is far different from that of 50 years ago.
 The bay of Sebastopol, four miles in length from east to west, and nearly a mile across it's widest part, with an almost uniform depth of nine fath- oms, is one of the best harbors in the world. The handsome town of Sebas- topol is now entirely rebuilt and great ly enlarged, with immense docks, forts and barracks, magnificent public build- ings, boulevards, gardens and up-to- date hotels.
 At the foot of the Malakoff hill we alighted, and found here a Russian peasant with basket containing me- mentos of the war, in the form of but tons and badges bearing the number of various regiments, with bullets and  grape-shot, which had been lately dug up in the construction of new water works. These old and much oorrodel relics were eagerly purchased by mem bers of our party Ascending the hill we saw the ruins of the Notifications.
 Surmounting the highest point of the hill stands the monument of it's most gallant defender, Admiral Kornilow, who was killed during the siege by a round shot shattering his left thigh He Is represented wounded but still giving directions to gunner. This memorial was engraved on one of the Russian war stamps recently issued.
 During the campaign, soldiers who fell were buried in small enclosures on the battlefields, or within the lines of investment The French and Russians, soon after the conclusion of peace, collected their dead and reinterred them in cemteries specially set apart for the purpose; but for years the graves of the English dead suffered from neglect and the constant desc

agent at London to try to win the in- terest in 1t of wealthy English patrons. Elihu Yale, a man of large wealth and noted for his gifts to educational and religious institutions, befriended the new school. He sent over books and a consignment of East India mer- ehandise-it was in India he made his fortune-and with the money obtained a college building was erected. At the first commencement the grateful trus- tees christened the school in honor of Elihu Yale.
 During the first century of Yale's history 1t may be stated that the chief end of the college was to train young men for the ministry and the state. When Timothy Dwight became presi. dent Yale entered upon a new era: and during his rule, 1795-1S17, the scope of the college was greatly broad ened; permanent professorships were established, men of unusual ability SC. lected, the college square extended, new buildings erected, plans made for the organization of professional schools under distinct faculties. In President Dwight's day the revenues of Yale and the attendance were greatly increased.
 Other names that should be touched on in this brief review of the upbuild- ing of the institution are those of President Woolsey. Noah Porter and Timothy Dwight the second. Each added much to Yale's growth. The last named entered upon his work at a moment ripe for change, and proved the man to take advantage of the op- portunity.
 Yale has stood for conservatism in general, but not for narrow bigotry. A very considerable part of it's origi- nal endowment came from Episco- palians as well as CongreEationalists. and in the days of denominational in- tolerance Eplscopalian ministers preached in the college chapel. the chapel that has held such large place in the life of the Yale student.
 Yale university Is most pleasantly situated. the college campus border ing on the New Haven green. The elms of New Haven are far famed. and justly: their ripe old age seems significant of the maturity and dig. nifty of the place they adorn- Gone are the old buildings: If the old stu dents could come back and were to look for plain @Old Brick Row" and their steps were guided by some mis- ehisvous younEter to the modern structures-say Vanderbilt hall-they would turn to the elms as the one faithful friend.
 But after all the days of the plain living were good old times. and they turned out men. Not but what to-day does too-ooczsionsIly.
