LIKES BEING MAYOR.
CHy's Chief Executive Admits 1t after
Selling Blacksmith Shop.

Mayor James +. Burke yesterday sold
his blacksmith shop a 1877 South Winooski
avenue and retired from a business in
which he has been actively engaged in
the city of Burlington for fl years The
shop and fixtures We're purchased by
Herman y. Stark, who is a black
smith Of moro than 20 years experience,
the past seven years being at Fort Ethan
Allen. Mir. stark will conduct the bust
ness in the future.
There are few if any men in the smith
ing business in the city who have been
engaged so long in that vocation as
Mayor Burke. He came 10 the city from
Williston Il years ago and opened shop
in Mechanics street and did business
there for n years He then moved to the
WinoosM avenue shop, where lie has
continued for the last 20 years.
Although the mayor has been a busy
man in the period mentioned. he has
found time and opportunity to engage
actively in city politics and has beaten
all records in length of service as mayor
He has served four one-year terms and
two two-year terms, eight years in all.
If he completes the last term. He told
a Free Press reporter yesterday that
he liked nothing better than being mayor
and wished there was moro power vested
in the office so that he could bring about
certain reforms in city government which
he thought, by his long experience, We're
necessary. Mr.. Burke was also an alder
man In 1884.
The mayor having severed his con-
nection with the business in which he
had been engaged so long naturally has
plans for the future and the reporter
asked him what they were, but he replied
that there was nothing yet to say on
that subject The rumor has steadily
gained ground in the last few days that
the appointment of Mayor Burke to the
office of collector of customs for this
district was only matter of short
time. the truth of which will be known
before long when the news of the APP
pontmcnt comes from Washington.

Ovcrscer DcInny.

The case of the sentences of Mrs. Ida
Phillips and Hattie Mnnineld to the
house of correction at Rutland following
a rather sensational hearing in city
court few weeks since was called to
mind yesterday by the appearance in the
city of Peter Phillips, who has passed
as the husband of the woman called Mrs
Phillips, although the latter declared,
after she had been sentenced on a ger-
ious charge. that she had never been
married to the man. Phillips, it will also be
recalled, was recently sentenced in Gale
donna county to "a term of imprisonment for
an assault. He has lately been pardoned
by Governor Fletcher and has secured
a job in Shelburne. His object in coming
to the city was to look after his FIVE
children, who were taken to the poor
farm after their mother was sentenced.
Phillips now wants to take three of the
children and care for them and send
the others to his brother. The matter
Will be disposed of in a few days. Phillips

SHARING THE HUSBANDS SIGMA
TIRE.
(From the New York Herald)

from the New York Herald)
A Denver court has affirmed that a
wife may sign her husbands name to
a check even when the bank account is
in the latter's name.
This is an important ruling and one
that may upset existing domestic rela-
tons and completely reorganize family
finance in the State of Colorado. Should
there be similar ruling by the New York
courts we might have veritable money
penic. Heretofore, feminine ingenuity
has been taxed to its utmost limits in
attempts to extract money from thrifty
mean or needy husbands, and there are
even generous ones who have been made
to suffer as well. In these efforts the
connivance of the grocer or the dress
maker frequently plays an important
part

tical farmer at the present time, Mr..
Hackney has other rather unusual quail
ifications that should emirently fit him
to make an effective an6 useful legis-
lator, for while, as we I'VE said, his
early life was spent on arm, he has
the advantage of thoroui h education,
being graduate of Valpal also College,
Valparaiso, Ind, and of the law depart
ment of the University of Michigan.
After graduating from the law school,
Mr.. Hackney practised his profession
at Petoskey, with much success. until
four years ago, when failing health
compelled him to again take up his resi-
dence on the farm. While engaged in
the practice of law, he was honored
with the office of u. S. Commissioner
for the Western District of Michigan,
which was, of course, complimentary to
his ability. 1t seems, therefore, in view
of his understanding of the law, his
readiness as a speaker and debater,
and his practical knowledge of urban,
as well as suburban life, that Mr.. Hack
ney would make first-class represen-
tative for all classes of people, and his
candidacy Is already receiving liberal
support.
Mr.. Hackney resides in Mt. Morris
township, on the town line between
that township and Vienna, has an inter
esting family, consisting Of wife, two
charming young daughters, and two
sons, and is first-class citizen in every
way. 1t is perhaps unnecessary to say
that Mr.. Hackney is q consistent Re.
publican.

HARRY BEARDSLEE'S
AUTOMOBILE STOLEN
BURGLARS ENTER GILLETTs GAR
AGE AND TAKE MACHINE
Machine Loaded With Tires, Robes and
Accessories Wrecked in Ditch
West of Town.

Monday morning at about two o'clock
burglars forced open window in the
repair shop of the L. ID. Gillett garage,
loaded up Harry Beardslee's new Ford
touring car with lot of tires, robes,
clothing and accessories and made an
attempt to get away with the whole
outfit. The thieves were evidently not
very familiar with running an automo-
bile, as tracks in the street in front of
the State Bank showed that the car
had been stalled at that point and that
they had gotten out and cranked it up.
From the Bank the thieves went west
on Vienna Street, their course being
made plain by the crooked track
in the road. When west of town.
near the Runnells farm, the thieves
came to bad spill, the car plunging
into the ditch and being badly wrecked.
Whether. the thieves were hurt or not
is unknown but the car must have been
running at considerable rate of speed
to have been as badly wrecked as it
was. One wheel of the car was COM
pletely smashed, the front axle and
crank case sprung and the radiator
smashed, the motor being uninjured.
From the place where the car was
wrecked, the thieves took westerly
course, their tracks being discernable
in the dust of the road. All the stuff
they had stolen was left in the car.
Mr.. Beardslee, who is a travelling sales
man, went to the garage early for the
purpose of making drive to some of
the surrounding towns and was the first
to discover the theft. Officers were at
once notified and the location of the car
was soon known. but up to the present
not the slightest trace of the thieves
has been secured.
