EMPHATICALLY DENIED.

The publications in the Washington
papers of this morning to the effect
that Mayor Paff contemplated resign
ing his office and that certain gentle
men were candidates to fill the vacancy
are emphatically denied by all whose
names are mentioned, who say there IS
no foundation whatever for such re-
ports. 80
Section { OF the city charter is still
law, and it reads thus: In case va
cancy shall occur in the office OF mayor
the City Council shall elect qualified
person to supply the vacancy for the
unexpired term" There have been
several elections under this provision,
but under the new constitution the as
pirations, of members Of Council to be-
come mayor in case Of resignation OF
the present incumbent, need not be
seriously considered, rs section III OF
the constitution says: No member OF
Council! shall be eligible during his
tenure OF office. or for one year thcro.
after, to any office to be filled by the
Council by election or appointment: :"
II Council elects, no member can be

ST, VALENTINES DAY.

st. Valentines Day has come again
and tho postman, as the messenger OF
the good old saint, has to shoulder the
responsibility OF delivering safely the
tender missiyes of love sent by heart
stricken youths and maids as we'll as
those OF the comic variety send in a
spirit OF fun or aimed to wound the
feelings OF the recipients. Yet, withal,
the postman has one consolatlon-the
valentines arc not by any means SO
large as those which the bellies and
beaux Of former years interchanged,
and consequently the mails are not SC
heavy. Late last night and today
thousands Of valentines, mostly post
cards, poured into the postoffice, and
the clerks were kept busy asserting
them for city and out-of-town delivery.
