porters of Mnyor Jennings nnd tho present
democratic city administration. Whllo cx
Chlof of Police lllxby says he la not look-
lug for any office, It Is well known and
In fact ho makes no secret ot his opposition
to tho renomlnatlon of Mayor Jennings.
It waH stated yesterday that oil had been
spread upon the troubled waters of tho lo-:al
democracy and that lllxby uad consented to
"Ho down." This, howover, Is not cred
ited In some quarters, as it Is known that
Illxby's lieutenant, Charlce Stockdale, has
beon very busy thu last tew days lining
up their followers for tho fray tonight.
Thoso who claim to bo In a position to
know sny that Illxby's following will not
cut much flguro at tho primaries nnd that
a delegation will be selected that will bo
for Mayor Jennings.

on tho Inside made tho following forecast

Itecd; auditor, William Hlggceon, or poa
slbly August Pnrrlsh; solicitor, S. B. Wads

commissioners, Phil Wnreham, W. W.
Coons; members of School board, Dr. Donald
Macrae, Jr., W. H. Thomas; school treasurer,
Oeorgo S. Davis.
For ward aldermen ho made the following
forecast: First ward, L. A. Casper; Sec
ond ward, J. N. Casady, Jr.; Third war3,
K. P. Searlcs, or possibly J. Schocnlng;
Fourth ward, S. Underwood; Fifth ward.
Frank Fox; Sixth ward, H. W. Payne.
Itepulillenn Ciiiiciincn.
The republicans will hold their precinct
caucuses Wednesday night to select one
sot of delegates to both tho city and school
conventions. Tho republican school conven
tion will bo held Thursday evening and the
city convention Wednesday of next week.
On tho night of tho city election primaries
will bo held In each ward for tho nomina
tion of ward aldermen.
Tho selection of Charles McDonald by
Hurl's committee for tho republican nom
ination for mayor is meeting with much
favor, cepcclnlly among the business men
of tho city. While ho has not heretofore
taken an active part In local politics and
uover has sought ofilco, ho Is regarded as a
strong man and ono who would lend strength
to tho ticket.
Tho worklngmon, who represent an In
fluential clement In tho party, aro talking
of P. H. Wind as their choice for mayor
and It Is understood that a commltteo Is to
wait upon him today to ascertain whether
ho would consent to bo n candidate for
tho nomination. Mr. Wind has also been

board. Alexander Woods Is said also to
bo out for the nomination, and tho friends
of Colonel Baker and W. J. Jameson aro

City Council MrcU Tonight.
Tho regular monthly meeting of tho city
council Is slated for tonight, and thcro aro
a number of Important matters to come up
for action.
Ono of tho Important mntters will bo tho
appointment of tho registrars and Judges
and clerks for the city election. Threo
Judges and two clerks will bo selected from
each voting precinct. It Is customary for
all the aldermen to act as Judges In their
respectlvo precincts and tho additional
Judges and clerks will be selected from tho
lists of recommendations made by tho
chairmen of tho republican and democratic
central committees. It Is said tho demo
crats will this year claim tho right to tho
appointment of two of tho three judges lir
each precinct, owing to tho complexion of
tho city administration.
City Attorney Wadsworth !a expected to
present his opinion on tho constitutionality
of tho Sunday closing ordlnnnco for barbers,
which tho labor organizations of tho city
havo petitioned tho council to pass.
Tho Fifth avenuo bridge matter Is also
expected to corao up for settlement and
somo advlco from tho motor company as to

coming fiscal year, which must bo mado
by tho council before April 1, will also
conio beforo the meeting tonight for discus
sion. Hundreds of brands ot cigars havo had a

It Is this wanton destruction rather than

that ho Is tho man who committed the

Ho told tho men, however, that ho went to

A big reward had been offered for the

SlU'ltUMACV OP SHIS. 111112X1:1,.
Co til mil Society nt the Feet of the

Mrs. John It. Drexcl of Philadelphia has
vnnanuy conquered New York society, nc-
coruing to a Now York letter. Everything
sho docs nnd wears Is a sensation. The
other night nt tho opera sho appeared before
tho nudicnco In a brilliant blaze of towels.
Their eyes wcro dazzled first by n necklace
inousamis upon thousands of small dla
monds shaped themselves Into oval wreaths
of Ilowcrs. In tho center of each wreath
glowed nn emerald, th filled Its center
now, when It Is understood that each
wreath wns somo threo nnd n half Inches
long by two nnd a balf,Inches wide, calcu
Into for yourself tho size of each emerald!
Thoy wcro held In. placo by a smnll stem
of diamonds, and ach wreath wns Joined
to Its neighbor by a largo diamond. Now,
as If In scorn for ,thosp who might fancy
this wns Indeed n nccklhco to fill tho heart
of a queen with cnVy, from each of these
wreaths wcro suspended magnificent pear
shaped pearls cloven In nil. Diamonds.
which In this glowing circlet served as
might gold chains, held tho pearls bus
ponded. ''
This alono might havq excited tho admira
tion of Mis. Drcxcl's audience It had bo
como hers by this t(meA-but thero wns yet
more, it la an opc secret that U10 lady
from 'Philadelphia ftrve's',pearls. If'becamo
an open socret on that night nt tho opera.
Sho had besides thoso that hung from her
necklnco n great chnln of them swung over
nor lcrt shoulder, passing around tho back
and fastened In front with a magnificent
ornament of moro diamonds, moro emeralds.
moro pearls. From this chain again hung
iwcivo inrgo pear-snaped pendant pcnrls,
And now, beforo you pause, there Is yet
moro. It Is said of Mrs. Drexcl that sho
stints nothing, neither In tho lavlshncss of
her entertainments nor In tho ardor of her
friendships. She Is equnlly generous In
tho display of her Jewels. Sho must have
In hor house a safe filled with plenty. Into
it sho dips her hands and then goes forth
to rndlato loveliness.
Cast your Imaginative eye, then, upon tho
front of hor corsage. Just below tho ropes of
poarls thero n myriad of sunbursts will
dazzlo It. They nro graduated from ono of
startling diameter In tho center until thero
Is no room for moro,
A Jewel hero, a Jewol there, a great ruby
half hidden under n fall of lace, or n gleam
ing opal Just peeping from a knot of ribbon
ono takes no noto of these, overweighted ns
thoy aro by gems of mightier magnitude.
Rut Mrs. Droxel fastens tilings with them
recklessly, as mcst of us uso pins that cost 8
cents for a paperful. On her Bllppcrs, for
Instance, which, of course, wcro mado of a
pleco of her dark volvet gown, woro buckles

many a woman, ayo, even many n Metro
politan Opera houso box holder, would he
glad to wear In fullest vlow, ns a brilliant
addition to a gala gown,
Mrs. Droxel Is anything but conventional.
Sho wns born to lead, not to follow. It was
probably this deslro for leadership that sent
her from Philadelphia to Now York.
Mrs. Droxel loves music. If ono goes to
her opera !xx ono goes to lloten to tho song
birds ot tho stage. Sho sings herself, nnd
plays a little. It she Is not satisfied with hor
own performance- she hns at least learned to
appreclato that of othors.
Sho has beautiful feet ah, you have thus
guotued her last fad, ono may scarcely call
It n hobby. Sho has n positive veneration for
boauttful slippers. Sho has thorn In every
possible, fabric for every pcsslblo gown. Thoy

THU VKTHHAN UUGI.EIt.
Army Jlnyn Ilrounlit Vividly Ilnck by
tlie I'liiiilllnr call.
"Ono of tho first things that attracted my
attention In tho vlllugo to which wo bad re
moved," said n civil war veteran to a Now
York Sun man, "was tho sound of a bugle.
It was heard In tbu daytime, only, nnd tho
bugler never played anything but army calls.
Somo of these calls, as every soldier knows.
nro melodious, and somo aro stirring, tho
bugler knew them all, and ho played them
well,
"Ho scorned always to bo passing through
the village, with occasional halts. Usually he
approached by the main road frcen tho cast.
In the village, this road ran up a low hill, or
rising ground. Our own street, also, was on
this hill, and parallel with the main road,
but at some distance to the south of It; a
cross-road ran between theso two, along tho
foot of the slope.
'When the buglo wns first heard In the
dlstnnco tho sound would bo now nnd then
almost lost, as woods or groups ot buildings
Intervened, but by tho tlmo tho bugler had
renched tho cross-road between tho main
road and our street wo would bo ablo to
distinguish ninny of the calls, ns the bugter
maneuvered his lnvlslbto nrmy.
"Sometimes the hend of the column halted
for n llttlo tlmo nt tho foot of the hill, but
oftenor It kept right on up the slouc. Thcro
Is a Clump of trees between our houss and
that part nt tho main toad, so that wc could
not seo tho troops as they passed, oven when
they wero there, right back ot us, but It
una as easy to follow them ns though they
hnd bctti In sight. It seemed ns though you
could hoar tho hoofs of tho cavalry horses
on tho hard road; It was easy to ltnnglno the
Infantry moving nlong at routo step, and
you fancied you could hear the rumbling ot
thn batteries as they passed, Sometimes
tho column moved on up tho hill and passed
on out of hearing without unusual Incident,
nnd then sometimes n detachment of cavalry
tas sent on ahead to rccontioltcr; somo
tlmcs skirmishers wero deployed, nnd once
tho bugler sent a battery plunging and tear
ing across tho ridges of n cornfield to tho
north of tho road to shell a plcco ot woods
ahead, to tho west.
"Although this marching nnd maneuvering,
not In sight but within heating, has been go
ing on for somo llttlo tlmo to tho north ot
us, I was one dny almost startled when, In
stead of cnovlng straight on up tho hill ns
usual, tho column turned to tho left nt tho
foot of Its slope and camo marching south
nlong tho connecting rond, toward us. The
buglo sounded again nt tho foot ot our
street, and tho head of tho column turned
to tho right. Lcoktng down to see tho first
of tho troops ns they turned townrd us I saw
coming driving up tho street, a pcdler, who,
rresently, ns ho camo nearer, took from the
seat besldo him n buglo, which ho sounded
vigorously. This was tho buglo whoso
stirring notes I had heard. Ho Is well
known, I find, among tho older residents of
tho district. Ho Is a veteran who served ns
a bugler In tho civil war, nnd to all veteran
soldiers his notes bring back old times
vividly."
ItnWAItnKI) AT LAST.
llure llnrrnril Distinction for IVnniiiil
Whose Clnlni In 11 Suit Story.
Within a few days the plcturo of a woman
will bo hung In ono of tho lecture roomt
nt tho Harvard law school, reports tin
Boston Transcript. Harvard Is Justly proud
of tho collection of somo 200 or 300 portraits
of eminent Judges, barristers and law
writers which adorn tho wnlls of Its law
school, hut tho plcturo of a woman has never
before been given a plnco among them. To
gain such n place Is a raro honor, nnd n
recognition of something moro than legal
notoriety. Tho story of Mrs. Austin's claim
to this distinction Is a pathetic one. To tell
It, ono must nUo tell tho story of her
husband, John Austin.
Mrs. Austin married In 1819 or 1S20, John
Austin, a young English barrister. He had
been In tho nrmy as a youth, but had left
It nt tho suggestion of friends who thought
thoy saw In him tho making ot a brilliant
lawyer. Ho was not so confident himself,
nnd frankly expressed his forebodings In a
letter written to Miss Taylor beforo their
mnrriage. " nnd may God, abovo all,
strengthen us to bear up under those priva
tions nnd disappointments with which it Is
but too probablo wo nro destined to con
tend." In 1818 ho was called to tho bar,
and two years later married Miss Taylor,
to whom ho had been engaged five years.
Mr Austin soon gavo up his unsuccessful
practlco and began tho study of Jurispru
dence. Thero were no law schools In Eng
land at tho time, but In 1826 London uni
versity attempted something liko ono, nnd
Austin was asked to take the chair of Ju
risprudence. To fit himself for this, ho
went with his wlfo to Bonn and Dresden,
whero bo perfected himself In tho German
language, and camo under tho moso eminent
professors of Jurisprudence. Both ho and
his wlfo wero thoroughly Imbued with the
spirit of tho German universities, and
this period ot study left Ineffaceable marks
on them. . ...
In 1828 they returned to England nnd tho
work nt London university wns begun. Tho
class Included soveral men wno auerwaru
took tho highest rank as Jurists and writers,
nmong whom wcro John Stuart Mill nnd
Lord Romllly. Financially tho lectures
wcro a failure. Disappointed at his failure
Austin gavo up tho chair, but published his
ii,irpn nnlv to bo disappointed again, for
a, tho tlmo thoy received slight notice.
After many subsequent failures his health
gavo way and ho was obliged to llvo at Carls
bad In tho summer nnd rnris in tno winter.
During all this tlmo Mrs. Austin was fol
lowing nnd aiding her husband In his work,
btsldca adding to their scanty Incomo by
making translations irom tno uerman.
Mr. Austin died in ueccmuer, idj-j, a uis-
aprolnted man.
After her husband's death Mrs. Austin
in (lnrl nnmn nnp in nut In form fnr
publication tho notes which Mr. Austin had
left, but thcro seemed to bo no ono com
petent nnd willing to undcrtnko tho task.
At last a friend who hnu Known them uoth
urged Mrs. Austin to try It herself. "It
will bo a great and difficult labor, but If you
fin. nnl ,ln II II will never hn ilnnn M TOnr
several years sho was engaged on tbo work,
wnicn was even moro uimcuu man was ex
pected, for most of tho lectures were given
oxlemporo and the notes wero very meager.
Mrs. Austin triumphed at last. Tho book
wart published and today, after having gono
through flvo editions, Is still tho authority
on tho subject. So, after his death, John
Austin's hopes wero realized by the loving
labor of his wlfo. Today tho wlfo Is hon
ored no less than tho husband, for her In
tellect saved to tho world what his created.
