ing between John Schwacho of Mus

GAYNOR TAKES HIS
JOB AS MAYOR OF
NEW YORK
And Names His Cabinet Not
From Tammany List
LAUDS BIG CHIEF MURPHY
He Doesn't Make His Appointments
on Friendship But on Supposed
Merit

New York, Jan. 3.-Mayor Gaynor
announced yesterday the names of
the men who will fill most of the
important places in his official fam
| lily. Tammany can find little conso-
lation in the list, although the APP
pontees are all Democrats aud one
or two are members of the organiza-
ton The mayors selections are
hardly of the usual type of city Office
holder. 1t is understood that none
Of them sought the appointments and
that many accepted reluctantly.
The appointees are:
Corporation counsel Archibald r.
Watson
Dock commissioner, Calvin Tom
kins.
Commissioner OF charities, Michael
J. Drummond.
Commissioner of water supply, gas
and electricity Henry S. Thompson
Fire commissioner, Rhinelander
Waldo
City chamberlain, Charles Fl. Hyde.
Archibald r. Watson the new cor
poration counsel and Michael j.
Drummond, the new commissioner Of
charities were members of the Com
mttee of Nine which first urged Mr.
Gaynor's candidacy for mayor
In announcing the appointments
the mayor issued a statement in
which he declared that political in
fluence had nothing to do with his
selections and in which he made in
teresting reference to Charles F.
Murphy, leader OF Tammany Hall
Here is the statement:
Il feel that there is one great act
of justice which should do. | was
nominated without even a suggestion
being made as to what | should do as
mayor Since election Mr.. Charles
F. Murphy has called on me three
times, each time asking me to APP
point the best men TO be found
'His suggestions were few; he ur-
ged nothing, and Kept saying TO me
that the responsibility was solely
with me. | cannot say the same of
every one else.
Il fear there are good many PEG
pie in this town who do not know
Charles f. Murphy. Some of them
seem to think he has horns and
hoofs. can only say of him what |
have seen He fully retalizes that
political organization cannot survive
and grow broader on patronage alone
without political ideas and virtue but
must shrivel up and die of worse
than dry rot
Il would advise some good women
and clergymen who are writing l.
me about Charles F. Murphy and
what they call the White Slave traf-
fc to go up and see him and say a
kind word to him They may be sur
prised Thou shalt not bear false
witness is also one of the Command
ments. There are more vices Than

ENDS STOMACH TROUBLE.
Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Gas or lndlees
ton Go Five Minutes Later

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of lndi-
gestion or some form of Stomach
trouble why don't you keep some Dia-
pepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort and overcome
sour, gassy stomach five minutes af-
ter.
Tell your pharmacist to let you
read the formula plainly printed on
these 90 cent cases of Pape's Diapep-
sin. then you will readily see why it
makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach,
heartburn and other distress go in five
minutes and relieves at once such
miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructa-
lions of sour undigested food, Nau-
sea, Headaches, Dizziness, Constipa-
ton and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
fird relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an out of order stomach
with the common everyday cures ad-
vertised thatthey have about made up
vertised that they have about made up
else wrong, or believe theirs is case
of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of
the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake.
Your real trouble is what you eat
does not digest; instead, it ferments
and sours, turns to acid, Gas and
Stomach poison, which putrefy in the
digestive tract and intestines and,
besides, poison the breath with naus-
eous odors
A hearty appetite with thorough di-
gestion and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the Stomach is
waiting for you as soon as you decide
to try Pape's Diapepsin,

NEW WAY TO CATCH FISH
Run a Wire from Trolley Line and
Stun Them

Fishermen along the line of the In
dianapolis, Columbus & Southern
Traction company, in Ohio, have
found a new and very effective way
of fishing and the method is one in
which the state game and fish com
missioner figures somewhat. The
method is to hook wire into the
traction company's trolley and let the
end of it fall into stream. The
water is thus charged with electricity
to the extent that the fish are killed
or are so stunned that they come to
the surface when they are gathered
into boats
Many fish are being taken in this
way along the traction line and the
fishermen believe that they are with
in the law. as the method employed
does not come under the head of dy-
namitlng.
Game and Fish Commissioners Y. I.
Sweeney is large stakeholder in the
traction company and thus he unwill-
ingly helps to furnish the juice with
which the law is violated-if, indeed,
it is violated.
