The 260-ton schooner left Charleston

Saturday morning was nit by ii stiff gale

New York has lost her laurels a. the
United States. That proud distinction now
rests upon the classic brow OF Boston. all
because the Mayor has smitten the con
sumption of the large-clawed crustacean
in this city deadly blow by his edict
that "guzzling' and eating in Broadway's
lobster palaces shall cease promptly each
night at ] o'clock
Down among the mingled cdors of ful-
ton market yesterday the sad-eyed lobster
men were sitting about idly. bemoanlns
the deaths of many Holsters in their pms.
They were dying. they said because there

WHITMAN FOR MAYOR,

District Attorney Enthusiastic

Feast on East Side.

Prosecutor Declares He Will
Stay Where He Is if People
So Desire-Waldo Not
Among Diners.

The suggestion of several speakers at
the non partisan dinner given by the
business and professional men OF the
East Side NJ the Cafe Boulevard last
night i'm honor OF District Attorney
Charles s Whitman. that Mr.. Whitman
should lie the next Mayor Of this city.
met with an enthusiastic response from
the several hundred diners.
Despite the admonition 10 the speakers
by the POSTMASTER, William Blau, that
politics be tabooed. the praises OF Mr..
Whitman were sung. together with the
expressed hope that he might succeed
Mayor Gaynor.
The District Attorney was deeply
moved when he arose TO respond TO the
many kind words which had been SAID
about him. but he mildly surprised MS
hearers BY declaring he did not CONSIDER
the work of the Mayors office any more
important than thar Of the one when
he filed. and declared he would be per-
fectly well satisfied to remain IN the DIS

Trade Goes to Boston.

Yes" he sighed New York Is a
changed town. Before this kibosh was
put on the all-nisht restaurants II Was
the best lobster city in the country. Twice
a week the ships came In from Nova
Scotia. bringing every trip one thousand
crates of HOLSTERS. But the ships now
stop at Boston and put of most of their
cargoes there. And what few they do
bring here now We have a hard time sell
ing.
Before this slump came Holsters were
selling fast for 20 and % cents a pound
To-day the price is only 10 to 20 cents
and few takers at that
If this keeps up the only thing lett
for me 10 do is to enter some other pro-
fession As for the poor lobster fisher
men who have riskcd their lives year
after year that New Yorks rich might
have their lobster Ia Newburg regular

them"
He got up sorrowfully and went 10
help a gang Of shad men shovel a ton
OF two OF the stu popular and Unframed
article of diet into the bins But his heart
was not in the work. When one has
been a lobster man for years he has no
taste for the shad mans work.

Employes Of the city who live outside

the belief that if the Mayor did not veto

law in spite Of any action that might ne
taken by him. the courts would hold IL m
constitutional.

relieved when Superintendent Maxwell

cation was managed under state law.

Citizenship Provision Waived.

There Is nothing in the civil service law
concerning state or federal citizenship.
However both the state and municipal
commissions have rules requiring that all
applicants must be citizens of the Crited
states. This rule is waiveG in many

they had O right TO discriminate against
