commission form Of government, and in
line with a request that the matter be
investigated City Attorney Writer re-
turned a report indicating that the Of
fee is elective. In bis report Mr.. Wit

question as 10 whether the office OF po-
lice magistrate is elective or appoint
i've in the cities governed by commits
sion form Of government law. have TO
submit the following: The constitu.

When the Hon. Mr.. Ward wrote his
novel "Tremaine" he was fearful of
acknowledging himself the author IN
I'll its fate should have been ascer-
tanned. He accordingly, the better to
preserve his incOgnito, sent the manu-
script copy by the wife Ct his attorney
10 Mr.. Colburn. The work. although
accepted, was not considered likely to
pay extremely well, and consequently
a trifing sum was given for - Con-
trary. however. to Mr.. Colburl's ex-
pectatiOns, it ran to three editions.
The ingenious author Of Vivian
Grey" then twenty-five years old, haV-
ing heard of the circumstances, deter.
mined to use it to advantage, and &C
cOrdingly, having arranged his work
for publication, he proceeded to find
out the honorable gentlemsn's fair
messenger. This he quickly effected
and upon a promise of giving her 40
induced her to be the bearer Of his
novel to the same publisher.
The woman was instantly recognized
by Mr.. Colburn as the same person
who brought him "Tremaine," and,
recollecing the great sale of that nov
e. he leaped at the manuscript pre-
sented to him with the utmost eager
ness. 1t was quickly read and a hand
some sum given for the copyright. A
short time. however, enabled Mr.. Col
burn TO find out his error, but too late
to remedy himself. The work was not
successful. and a considerable sum was
lost by its publication.

Charles Hoffbrauer, the eminent
French artist, will be devoted to the
military history of the confederacy.
Hoffbrauer, who is regarded as the
greatest living artist in his field, says
that these paintings will be his mas
tCrpieces. Though he has studios in
beth New York and Paris he will spend
all the ensuing two years in Rich

That the Memorial institute is to
have the mural paintings at once is
due to the munificence of Thomas
Fortune Ryan, Wall street fnancier
and native of Virginia When Ryan
heard that the memorial association
was having difficulty in raising funds
to carry on the work he Immediately
sent word to President Ellyson of the
association 10 employ the best artist
