While waiting until next week to buy
three new plays at two dollars each, L
made a visit to the only dime theatre
in New York, and to reach it ] had to
go more than four hundred feet off
Broadway. The entrance was on a
busy street and rather pretentious; but
once inside I came across features of
the cheap museum, a kind of resort
that has only this left as reminder of
old Barnum times. The walls were
lined with musty collections of coins,
autographs, weapons and relics in
cases. Along the sides of the passage
were candy stands slot machines and
peep shows, but the envelope games
and other tricky devices of BOwery
memory were absent. But there was a
''curio hail." an alcove, with two ''hu-
man marvels'' on a platfoTm-one man
with no legs and his feet growing out
from his hips, and another, labelled
THE double man" with an excrescent
forearm at his breast, indicating that
nature had abandoned an intention to
make twins.
Getting past these pitiable objects in

coNEY is SUPERINTENDENT.
Supreme Court Issues Order to CON-
pei Hyland to Quit Office.

The supreme court issued a per-
emptory writ of mandamus to compel
William H. Hyland to turn over to
Charles S. Coney all of the books and
records belonging to the office of coun-
ty superintendent of Stanton county.
The court holds if Hyland desires to
contest the title to the Office he can
do so by quo warranto proceedings.
Coney secured the majority of the
votes cast for candidates for this Office
last fall, but Hyland refused to recog-
nize him as county superintendent be-
cause he alleged Coney did not have
a first grade certificate on the day of
election. The court refused to go into
the matter of the title to the Office
but held mandamus prayed for should
be granted because a certificate of
election has been issued to Coney and
the state superintendent had recog.
nized him as the county supernten-
dent.
The litigation arose because of the
provision of a new law that a candi-
date for county superintendent must
time of his election to be eligible to
office. Mr.. Coney presented such a
certificate, but it's validity was denied
by Hyland on the ground that the
holder thereof finished his examina-
tion for such certificate after election
day. State Superintendent McBrien
said that under the rules of his de-
partment a teachers certificate can
be dated from the time of the COM
mencement of the examination instead
of from the date of the conclusion Of
the examination. Mr. Coney began
his examination on Friday before
Tuesday which was general election
day and after failing in some branches
was allowed the usual privilege of try
ing again in branches in which he
failed. After passing properly his
certificate was dated at the CON-
mencement of the examination.

ran was about as large and preten

make much better time.

way westward year by year until II
reached Fulton and then swung a
bridge over the river into Iowa he fol
