SMALL CITIES WIcKEDEsT.
Mayor Gaynor of New York, Discusses
Some Municipal Problems.

Mayor Gaynor of New York, Discusses
Some Municipal Problems.
Various cities In the United States
have had as heads of their local gov
ernment, whether Republicans or
Democratic, many men Of strong and
independent characters who insisted
on being mayors in fact as well as In
name, but none Of these has ever car
ried out this principle more thorough
ly than has the present mayor of the
most important city on the American
continent. He is a devout believer In
the ancient adage of "hewing to the
line, letting the chips fall where they
may" The falling Of these chips
has at times displeased many persons,
political and otherwise, but Mayor
Gaynor has taken little count or this
when convinced that he was doing
what was best for the interest OF the
city.
prof. Brooks has recently made
the broad assertion that corruption ls
widespread throughout the United
States. and that, in spite of all super
ficial appearances to the contrary, the
relative extent and harmfulness of cor
ruption Is decreasing in the most pro-
gressive and modern countries; that
certain forms of public corruption are
carried on more openly and, IL one
may use the expression, more 'repu-
tably' In the country and small towns
than in great cities Do you agree
with these views?" asked the repor-
ter.
"No doubt the assertions Of corrup-
ton In government In this country
are much exaggerated" replied the
mayor. II am bound to say that l
think. from actual observations, that
there is relatively as much corruption
in small communities as in large ones.
/ am absolutely certain that this Is
true hereabouts," he added, with
much positiveness.
Moreover there is more immoral
ity and crime. proportionately. In
small communities than in large
ones" he continued. "Those who
think that the people Of cities are
more immoral than are the people of
small communities are greatly mis-
taken. l have a good deal Of belief
in the statement, God made the cit
les. but the devil made the towns! All
sorts of political graft goes on In
small communities also. Moreover.
country to one in the city. People
dicker for the sale of their votes al
most openly in the country. There Is
very little corrupt voting In the city
of New York That has been so for
long time"
How do you regard Prof. Brooks
further assertion that Democracy can
scarcely escape being corrupt because
1t recognizes, with its advanced con-
science, so many duties?'"
The mayor waved his hand in a
deprecating way.
Democracy Is no more corrupt
than is monarchy. The quotation you
attribute to Prof. Brooks seems to me
to be a mere jingle. 1t sounds nice,
but you have to stop to see what 1t
means / feel 1t does not mean much
of anything" he answered.
"Is American politics. then. improv-
ing or retrograding, in your opinion ?"
Improving, decidedly" he said

DOGS FOR AFRICAN HUNT.
Paul Rainey Is Going to Try Them
Against Lions.

Thirty-three bear hounds were
shipped from London on June 20, for
east Africa for Paul j. Rainey, an
American who had set out after lions
with the avowed determination of out
doing the Roosevelt expedition into the
same part of the country. In addition
to the bear hounds the London agency
has shipped fifteen for terriers. The
bigger dogs are to be used In the lion
hunts. What use Mr.. Rainey finds for
the little terriers Is not known at the
office Of the forwarding agents.
The main objective field OF the
Rainey expedition is the Golbo plains,
far to the north Of where Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt went, and much more
hazardous place, as the elephant is
numerous there and ferocious. Rainey
has with him photographer and a
taxidermist. According to John Mar
TIM, interested in African hunting,
there are over forty parties In the field
now from America organized by a sim
gle London agency. How many more
American expeditions have been out
fitted by other London agencies is not
known. There has been a boom In the
African hunting business as a result
of the ADVERTISING the Roosevelt hunt
gave to the sport
1t Is the only place tney can HOW So
after big game" said Martini. Col
Roosevelt was in a good country, but
this Mr.. Rainey has gone to the pick
of the continent. He will get into the
thick of it inside of thirty days The
lion is what he is after, but he Is evil
IDENTIFY preparing to get away from the
elephant. Hunting has made the ele-
phant a hunter. He does not wait now
to be hunted. AS soon as he hears an
unusual noise he starts out to see what
caused it. When he finds it is man
the elephant starts fighting. 1t was
one thing to hunt an intimidated ele-
phant ten years ago, and even nVe
years ago, but ii is quite another thing
to be hunted by rampaging elephant
today"
1t costs about S125 a week to have a
really good hunt in the land where
Roosevelt hunted. This includes all
sorts of servants and a big "safari," as
a caravan is called. African big game
hunting is managed here in various
ways, the most common being for the
London people to pay all blils ana
make a supercharge OF 10 per cent
They hire hunters, guides, natives 10
carry the supplies-water especially
and generally organize and outht the
expedition. The next common way Is
to pay a lump sum. This varies win
the region to be hunted over. Paui
Rainey Is going into one OF the medium
priced districts, though the most dan
gerous. He will have water all the
way, which means that he Will be able
to get along without water bearers.

| Harriet looked up quickly into his
face with puzzled inquiry.
why, papa, I never heard you talk
so strangely. What's the matter?"
The father laughed in the best OF
spirits.
"Only the fancy of moment, child
l never felt better. Did you have a
good time?"
The girls face grew serious as she
drew on her wrap and glanced back
toward the great doorway of the ball
! room.
"Yes, when I could forget the pain in
my heart"
She paused and seized his arm with
sudden energy.

going abroad at once to study"
The doctor laughed aloud in burst
of fierce JOY.
Certainly, my dear! Didn't l tell
you 1t would be SOP"
The tears sprang into the gentle eyes
as she answered gratefully.
You can't know how happy you've
made me-"
Bivens, who had heard the doctors
laughter, passed and said with exag-
gerated courtesy:
Il trust you have enjoyed the even
ing. Woodman?"
The doctor laughed again In his
face.
More than can possibly tell you!"
Bivens followed to the door and
watched him slowly walk down the
steps.

The motion for new trial entered by
the defendant corporation is sustained.
and the verdict of the jury in the case
Is characterized as ''manifestly er-
roneGus." The rescript follows:
Ahbie c. Bicknell VS.. Maine Central
X. II. co. Eescript. Per curiam.
rms Is an action to recover for in
juries alleged To have been caused by
the defendants negligence, and is
heard upon the defendants motion to
set aside the verdict of the jury for
the plaintiff. The essential facts ar4
not in dispute. For the purpose Of maxi
ing necessary repairs to the planking
Which had been laid upon the ties be-
tween the station platform at Lewiston
and the second track, the defendant
had taken UP part of the planking
next to the platform.
The plaintiff was familiar with the
usual Situa ton there, but says that
re had not noticed that any of the
Flanklng had been taken up. She came
to the station intending to take a
train that was then standing on the
second track. She crossed the sta
ton platform and stopped at its edge
a moment to talk with friend. Then
she turned and put her foot out to
step down. as she supposed. onto the
plankinS that was there ordinarily,

platform onto the ground, ties and

movements were free There was
nothing to obstruct vision, or pre-
vent her from seeing the situation, il

hatever may be said of the care, or
