New York, Aug 1s.-The announce ment by John A. Henneberry, chief clerk in District Attorney Jeromes of flee, and one of the District Attorneys political lieutenants, that Mir. Jerome would probably consent to become the Democratic candidate for Governor if there seemed to be a demand for his what promises to be the most interest ing gubernatorial fight the Empire State ever saw. With Higgins re- nominated by the Republicans on the strength of his record with Hearst renominated by himself. and with the usual tally of Socialist. Prohibition and Labor candidates, there promise to be so many tickets in the field that the man who is not running for some office will be hard to find. If Hearst captures the regular Democratic nomi- nation. 1t Is asserted that Jerome will run as an independent Democrat, rep resenting the safe and sane" element In the party. However much Mfr. Je- rome's popularity may have dwindled since the last election. it must be con fessed that he Is veritabIe cyclone on the stump and can blow away any of the megaphonic orators the Hearst party is likely to bring against him. Two New York newspapers, The Sun and The Evening Post. are already sup porting his candidacy.
 What to do with New York's garbage Is the great puzzle confronting the city officers these days. The accumu- lated refuse of a city of upwards of four millions persons. amounting as it does to thousands upon thousands of cubic yards daily, is no easy thing to dispose of. Ashes and clean refuse are now being systematically utilized to fil in the marshy lands In Bronx Bo- rough and on the outskirts of Brook lyn. Up to a few weeks ago other re- fuse has been taken by scows to a large isolated island at the entrance to Jamaica Bay, where a private company burned and converted 1t into fertili- ger and various odd utiliarian purposes. But the recent destruction of the plant belonging to the private company com pelled the city to seek the old re- source of dumping its garbage at sea. Now all the nearby seaside resorts are complaining that their bathers who go for a refreshing dip in the surf are compelled to swim about in an unsavory soup-Iike mixture nf rotting fruit and vegetable matter. The Mayor Of one Jersey resort gathered up a large pack age of decayed garbage upon ms peach and solennly expressed 1t to the Mayor | og Naw York with a card bearing the | words "returned with thanks" Another large Jersey summer colony will ap- neal to the National government against tte carriage nuisance and threatens to oet ont an injunction against the city so tbe ,ob of Street Cleaning Commits sIoner in the metropolis Is not such sinecure these days.
 New York was treated to what tn
 newsnaners called real wild West
 ern roundup" the other day whei | some steers. which were being convey
 ed across the harbor to local abat
 toir broke loose in the live stock boa
 and tumned into the water. A passini
 municipal ferryboat put out lifeboa
 fin which attendants lassoed some O inc floating beeves and lowed then ashore at Battery Park basin, where
 the harbor police took charge of th' animals. Some of them. however. brok' away again and stampeded Into th'
 Wall street district. Luckily it wa
 a holiday and the regular attendanc
 of buIls and bears was missing. so tha
 inc various streets were pretty wei
 deserted. The harbor squad immedi
 ateIv communicated some horses an
 Iassoes and went after the feein
 steers in true cowboy fashion. Afte
