| suppose that people who have read
the realistic stories of "Chuck" Con.
nors," the ~self-styled white mayor OF
Chinatown" imagine him as a plug
ugly fellow six feet tall, and half as
wide and thick. In fact, he is a little
weakened fellow of perhaps five feet,
three or four, weak in physique and
muffin on de scrap" He does talk

is the original of "Chimmie Fadden,"
so far as that gentleman needed an

Paul Kelley and Monk Eastman are
the leaders Of the two most famous
gangs of to-day, each bearing its lead
er's anne. Each is a small man, though
full enough of desperate fighting pluck.
Neither will ever shine politically.
Kelley is a full blooded italian, with a
long name too cumbersome for the
firing line of gangdom. Once in his
boyhood he was hauled into a prize
fighting club and pitched out upon the
stage. What is your name?" his in
PRODUCER asked. The lad had a ready
wit. "Paolo Kelley" he replied; the
latter name stuck, especially after he
licked" his opponent; the former was
simplified. Monk" Eastman is a ma
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 vas repeat
ing on one side, the other gang on
the other-a thing not possible, by the
way, at election. When it was all over
both gangs, full of rum and loaded
with money, rolled down toward the
east side, where they live. There
was bound to be a collision. 1t was a
battle. Every man was armed; the
wonder was that no more than n
man was fatally hurt.

Lows fortune. The P~ierreponts have
been friends Of the Low family for
years in Brooklyn. The Lows are Sal
EN- Yankees, the Pierreponts Hugue-
not French. Mr.. Schermerhorn, who
gave Schermerhorn hall, is Dutch by
descent. The donor of the only pro-
fessorship Of the Chinese language in
the country is of English stock. He
gave the money, $1,000 00, in the name
Of his Chinese servant, at the time of
the outrages committed by the allied
powers in and against China in more
than retribution of the Boxer outbreak.
Two years ago another young man,
Marcellus Hartley Dodge, with his
aunt, gave 100000 to Columbia to
found the first great dormitory. It's
walls are rising now. Is there any
other great university in the world
that has to build ten-story dormitories
to save space on the campus?
Rich men of New York shamefully
neglect Columbia, but so long as it
owns leasehold real estate that grows
rapidly in rental value, and so long
as it has alumni like Low, Pierrepont
and Dodge, and modest friends like
the Milbanks, unknown among the
great donors Of the Carnegie and Rock
efeller class, it will somehow escape
the sheriff that always threatens tia
American colIege-if you will believe
its president.

TWENTY Dollars an Inch.

Figures in the mass convey but lit
tie actual impression to the mind. The
statement that the recently completed
Simplon tunnel, under the Alps, cost
more than $3.50 900 means hat each
inch of the tunnel represents an out
lay of about $40. Some of the new un-
derground roads in London cost even
more, the tunneling representing an
outlay of $25 for each inch of progress.

as an unofficial critic and commenta-
tor upon all things, the leader OF the
paul Kelley gang" writing for the
papers, and Tom Lee" mayor OF
Chinatown, rendered for once voluole
by the pistol feuds among his people,
the picturesque local color" men on
the daily press will have no lack OF OPP
p~ortunities.
Mayor Mcclellan has been a plenty
criticized for appointing a man like
Battery Dan" to any kind of a Judge
ship; really he might have done worse.
His honor has lived a 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 a wonderful memory
for faces, and an invincible kindness
for the erring. Upon his first day on
the bench he announced his policy
in a message" to the cOur attaches
and personal friends, who had piled
$500 worth of rare orchids on his desk.
He said thai he thought when a man
had been locked up owe 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
$1,000 a year. A municipal court JUS
tice, practically a justice of the peace,
gets $4,000 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 Diver" Pat
was the champion beefsteak eater of
the city, with a record of II pounds at
a sitting. Ex-MayOr Van Wyck once
ate seven pounds. Diver was a noun
tain of a man, rich from saloon keep
ing. The salary of the post was moth
ing to him. 1t is nothing to Battery
Dan" The honor and the chance of
showing mercy occasionally to an err
ing mortal are dearly priced.

d. S. Hilton, of this place, naturally
wants every other sufferer from rheuma-

"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the grandest
pill on EARTH" says Mr.. Hilton, II would
not take any sum of money for what
they did for me. For two years l had
what the doctors called rheumatism. l
could hardly walk around in the house:
1t seemed to be in my back and hip and

Two days after l took the first dose

Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in

Uric Acid out of the blood. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills make healthy kidneys.

Second Move on Them.
This is the second move against the
Government notaries. Until 1890 it was
possible for these officials TO make even
more money by acting in their official
capacity to testify 20 the oaths of new
appointees when they were sworn in
for duty. Sometimes a notary through
influence would be able to swear III
about a hundred new clerks a day anc

Congress put a stop to this, passing
a law in 1890 that the chief clerks In
each department should be given author
ity TO administer the oath. For this
the chief clerks are not paid.

Terms for Which They Were Appointed
Expire-Consternaton of Clerks.

President Roosevelts order forbidding
Government employees holding commits
sions as notaries to receive fees for
work done during Government hours
has caused CONSERVATION among the
large number of clerks who formerly
did a fiourishing business in this way
1t is estimated that in each of the
local departments there are al least
dozen notaries.
The effect of the order, il is said, VIII
undoubtedly result in the giving up or
the commissions by the majority OF
these now holding them as soon as they
expire.
Many Were Applicants.
Heretofore the business has been SO
profitable and popular that the Presl-
dent was fairly swamped with appiica-
lions from persons who desired the priv
ilege of being notaries.
Some Of the Government notarles de-
clare the Government hereafter cannot
force them 10 witness dispositions. me
mere fact that they hold COMMISSIONS,
they say, does not make it incumbent
upon them to do Government work IN
the capacity OF notaries unless they are
paid for it.

disabled during the siege numbers more
than two and a half times the actual
number of men composing the garrison.
This is accounted for by the fact that
large numbers of the wounded returned
to the forts as soon as they became con-
valescent.
Some of the men were wounded seven
different times, but they went back TO
fighting each time they were able 10
leave the hospitals.
