Walter Rothschild, the richest bache-
lor in England, had a close call with
matrimony when he was young man.
A designing mamma had managed to
get the heir to the Rothschild millions
interested in her daughter, and the
daughter did all she could to lead the
interest up to the point of a marriage
proposal.
One night at a watering place, after
RothschiId had retired to his room, he
heard voices under his window which
he recognized as those OF the young
lady and her mamma.
HAS he proposed YETI" asked the
old woman.
mot yet" answered the daughter,
''but I'll have him hooked before long
IL only l can endure his conversation.
Tonight he bored me almost to death
talking about his kangaroos."
IT am sorry" said Rothschilds put
ting his head out of the window, fto

mails. Forgive me. shall never do

The story of how he came to adopt
Q literary career is sufficiently pictur-
esque. For some time he had picked
up a precarious livelihood by doing
''odd jobs" including such prosaic oc-
equations as that of bootblack and
casual porter on the Quai Marseilles.
One day he was engaged by gentle
man to carry to the railway station a
heavy trunk. Arrived at the station,
there was an instant mutual recogni-
ton. They were old college chums.
what are you doing hereT asked his
friend. Carrying your trunk, be-
lieve," said Jean. why do You do
this?" Because must" where
do you liver" Come and see," re-
piled Richepln.
The future dramatist took his friend
to his dwelllng-a miserable room in
an attic in the poorest quarter Of the
town. Upon the table lay scattered
heaps Of manuscripts-Jean's incur
sions In the realms of poetry when
the more prosaic duties of the day
were over. Looking through them, his
friend was astounded at their quality.
"Why do you carry trunks and blacken
boots when you can do work like
this?" he asked. Richepin had never
given the matter a thought He had
never deemed these products Of Idle
hours worthy Of publication. Pub
lished they were, however, in very
few weeks and created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Richepin never looked back.-West-

tbA r-overnor his successor will be elected this fan
It is the contention of the Tammany majority IN
the board that whoever IS appointed by the Man
haitian aldermen TO I'LL the vacancy will serve the
remainder OF Mr. Ahearn's term or more than
two years.
"I had long talk with Mr. Sanford on Friday
last said Mr. Meyers yesterday at the City Hail.
"and he told that there could be no doubt tnat
Mr. Ahearn's successor. IL the Borough President
IS removed. will be elected this fall The Man
haitian aldermen can only appoint 70 I'll the va
cancy for the remainder Of the year"
In support OF his contention Mr.. Meyers cited
Article 10. Section 5. OF the state constitution,
which refers specifically 10 the vacancies IN elective
offices and how to i'll them. follows:
The Legislature shall provide for filing va
cancies in Office and in OF elective officers no
Psei Pfse b virtue Of such appointment longer than
the eommencsnent OF ne pa-c s. ca tn TanTen
ceeding the nrst annual eIecIioI a1Ief 'iI7 -i0tH
ing OF the vacancy.
The city charter IS in conflict with the state
constitution but Mr. Meyers says that makes no
difference The city charter says that the ap-
pointee Of the aldermen shall serve out the r.
ruairder of the term. The section Of the city
charter bearing on the particular point adopted
when the term OF the Borough President was two
years. Nov that the Borough Presidents are eject
ed for four years. Mr.. Meyers contends mat tne
state constitution controls and that the vacancy,
IL there should be one must be filed this fail
The section OF the city charter which seems to
cover the removal Of the Borough President says

The section covering the removal oc the Mayor
By the Governor is as follows:

When asked what would happen f. after Re-

Meyers said
The Governor would remove him a second tII1S
and probably would direct the Sheriff 70 keep MIN

little likelihood OF any such thing happening, now
