 It WAS common talk amOng the politicians to-day that the next a. sessor will be Edward J. Finn, . com missioner of the board of works. Mayor Thoms smiled when asked if there was any truth in the report, and said that he was not aware that Commissioner Finn was candidate for the place. There was tome sur prise expressed at the report because It was generally supposed that the next assessor was to como from the fifth ward. MT Finn lives in the sec- ond. The new assessor takes once in March and succeeds Assessor George L. Jenks.
 When business girl Is a failure the reason often is that she regards the work she has taken up as only temporary thing something to fill up the years that lie between leaving school and the husband and home that that hopes sooner or later will fall to her lot That is an utterly wrong principle, says friend of the As YOli Like It Man. Even if the chances arc that the girl will marry she must work hard and gain al! the knowledge she can of her calling, so that should marriage not come ner way, instead of developing into a complaining old maid, become an in- terestlng and charming woman, lead- ing busy life-too busy very often to think much of self. but never too busy to do kind action or help on younger women beginning life.

 The letter carriers staggered under the weight of their loads to-day and by the time they get through they will feel more like taking rest than going out to do any shopping them 1 selves. Talk about hard days work, but probably there is nothing that taxes a mans physical powers more than tramping the streets in this kind of weather with heavy burden dangling from your neck. When a pack peddler gets tired he can sit down and rest and d0esn t care who sees him, but the employe of Uncle Sam must keep right on un- til he delivers his last parcel, and then instead of taking a breathing spell he is obliged to hurry back to
 headquarters. In the opinion of some folks the postman has snap;
 perhaps he has, but it didn't appear
 so to-day. Santa Claus filled his bag to overfiowing and it gave him all he could do to handle 1t.
 Considerable attention has been at
 tractcd to the case of People ex rel
 Burnham Flynn, 100 New York
 supplement. 31. owing to the fact
 that the plaintiff was the dramatic
 critic of a prominent paper. The ,Da-
 sis of the action is that the defend
 ants conspired to prevent the plain-
 tin from exercising lawful trade or calling. Because of criticisms made
 of the plays given at the various thea | ters, tlle defendants had given in-
 structions that the critic should not
 be admitted. and he had been forcibly
 prevented from entering after pur-
 chasing ticket. The supreme court
 of New York refers to the familiar l doctrine that the conducting of a
 thcater is private enterprise, and
 that. In the absence of statuary reg
 ulation, the proprietor has the right I to say who shall enter. Under this
 doctrine the court states that the agreement to exclude the critic was not an unlawful one, and that If his
 presence was distasteful or injurious
 to their business the proprietors had
 the lawful right to agree to exclude
 him.
