Q.-Fair and honestly. without fear or prejudice?
Q.-And one who fails to do so in that manner
Is not nj to hold the position Of a dramatic critic?

FEAR FOR THE MAYOR.
Believe Connecting RaiIzUay Hold
Up VII Hurt Election Chances.

Alderman Timothy P. Sullivan C'Idttle Tfm') is
marshalling his forces among the aldermen for a
hight against any and all demanding the
passage OF the New-York Connecting Railroad fran
chise The word went around yesterday that the
vice-chairman of the board would expect every man
to 30 his duty" whenever the franchise came up.
Mr. Sullivan is doing Just as he did a year ago with
the Port Chester franchise which demanded
oy scores OF civic bodies and property owners.
That he is acting with the approval of Charles F.
Murphy is entirely probable. The Pennsylvania in
terests have decided that they will pay get
ting the franchise through the aldermen. Some of
the aldermen were accused of getting money for
legal expenses in connection with the passage of
the Pennsylvania franchise The Pennsylvania has
been compelled to wait nine months for action by
the committee. which has pigeonholed its appnca-
ton without reason.
Inc friends of Mayor Mcclellan are afraid that
the attitude Of the aldermen will hurt him in the
campaign next fall They realize that the fact that

TO WILLIAM BURNET TUTHILL,
with the gift Of silver from the New
York oratorio Society. March 2 1908.
Not wholly empty is this hollow bowl
Except of things that eyes may see:
A vision hath the human souI
Through Vistas of reality.
Filled with the fragrance the precious flower
That blooms friendships sacred tree,
Whose perfume sancttfes the passing hour
Distilled by subtle alchemy;
Filled with vintage Of the bygone years
Their who
The wine OF life unwatered with tears.
That maketh glad the heart Of man:
Filled with ardent hopes for thee and thine
Is this chalice 10 the brn,
With sunshine cleaning Its bright design
Whose solar lustre Grows not dim.
MAY genial fortune e'er thy path attend
Thy hopes 10 maturity
And with rpened friendship kindly blend
The blessings Of fraternity!
