If there is a statesman in '.Urn who expects to find a sinecure when ho settles iu the chair a mouth will bring him to a rude awak-ening." "And Iho annoyances!" "How many columns hare you to lavish on a single item? Why man it would take a day to enumerate them, in the lirst place" there is the visitor who wants assistance no matter whether it is extended in thu shapo of alms and charities or as a 'soft snap' in some department. Ho has been un-ahl- u to find employment, hat) been whirled, around in tha cruel cataracts of adversity until lie can show yen every rib iti his body and has a family dependent on him." You can't refuse to tip something that the gaunt wolf may be shaken oil and the column of incidental expenses for which the chief executive alone is responsible, begins to rise. Then thero is the shepardess who is I i working for some benevolent, some I ft philanthropic cause, who has tickets on .'J draught.

DipMAFIA A New Orleanian Tolls llow tha Fierco Struggle for Chief Hennes-sey's Life Began, THEY BOASTED ONE VICTIM. O'Maloy Was a Minion of the Mafia while the Sleuths were Running Them Down, Tho bloody tenets of mafiaism wero never more vividly depicted than iu tho rotunda of a prominent hotel this morn-ing, at which time the speaker was Mr. H. B. Johnsou, late of New Orleans. Among other commendatory letters carried by the gentleman w ho was for many years iu the detective service of the southern metropolis, was ono that bore the .signature of Chief Hennessey, whose (loath was recently avenged by tho citizens of the place. "No city," said he, "ever itched under a curse that was more malignant than this. It was not a war for a day or a year but war for a decade, and no man's life, was secure after ho had incurred the enmity of the Alalia. The plot against llennessy's life was propagated when he, as a detective, determined to bring to justice the liends wiio had roasted a young Sicilian to death. Ho got very close to the Malia at. that time and in fact sati-dte- every judge of evidence that the crime was upon them. From that nour the demand for the chiefs life was issued and became more lierce as ho advanced in the line of promotion. While he was laboring tor their apprehension however O'Maley was informing the Alalia of his moc-ment- s and there are any of a hundred of the lamented "chief friends, who would feel no hesita-tion in shooting him on sight. O' Malay, who is now aom.i place on the frontier, will scarcely have the temerity to return to Now Orleans, lor the fiitt'has issued that his late shall follow that by which tho murderer perished." "And how do yet! view the preseut bluster';" "All as a bluff. Their government knows as well as ours that t.ois is the most dangerous institution that ever struck at the pillars of a country, and after it hassatislied its ranting subjects everything will calm down. It's not only New Orleans that, is interested in the complete wiping out and extermina-tion of this set it's America. People throughout the country have tendered their assistance, wore it required, in the vindication of the avengers, and if Sicily's colony in America don't cool down and behave themselves, the affair at New Orleans won't be a respeotablo initial in the crusade. Chicago has raised her linger against anarchism, New Orleans against maliaisyi." STREET IMPROVEMENT. Intarratlug; Snnif fi,ion From th Itopurt ;f ttta City KtifiQtr ol Denver. The city engineer of Denver has just issued a report on tho work done under his supervision. He makes a number of interesting suggestions, some of which are as follows: "Tho necessity of paving alleys is even greater thau that of paving streets, Here rubbish and tiltli is hid behind barrels, boxes and all kinds of contri-vances from the passer-by- . The water from the roof accumulates, and, with tho gathered tilth, soaks into the ground and causes sickness and disease. ".stone blocks, laid on gravel founda-tion, with Hag in centres of al-leys and joints tilled with bituminous pa ing cement, would make an excel-len- t pavement. The tame can be said ot sheet asphalt, laid under the same specifications as now in use for streets. "Yitrilit-- bricks laid on gravel and sand foundation, have of late been ex-tensively used for .street and alley pave-ments. A factory has been started here in the last year for tho purpose of manufacturing sewer pipe and bricks, and it is to ho hoped that it will prove a success, and thus facilitate the procur-ing of better power material at less cost thau now furnished by eastern luaniifacUiaers. "The wooden culverts now in use by the city are an eye sore and a recepta-cle of "tilth. The city spent this year $10,0110 for wooden culverts, and as tho city improves the expense will increase; $'.'0,t)UJ a year spent iu building stone or terra cotla culverts (see plans, etc.), which will last tor years, are easier to drain and will not retain filth, and will make a marked improvement in the condition of the streets. Ou lighter grades, a block Mono gutter may be substituted. ".So long as we mo the city ditch water in the residence portion of tho city for free irrigation it is hard to de-sign a plan that will suit every emer-gency. "'I he graded and graveled streets to be kei;t in pertect condition, require gutters that will the accuiiiu Fated rain water (piiekly, and at the same time a gutter that will allow the irrigation water to roach the trees. To overcome this, a porous drain tilo should be laid under the surface be-tween curb line and sidewalk into which the irrigation water flows, und thus supply moisture for trees, etc, "In order to beautify our streets and to lea-e- n tho expense of repairing, I would recommend that a general ordi-nance be passed to establish the width of roadway in all eighty-foo- t streets in the residence portion of tho city at thirty live feet, seven feet for sidewalks (consisting Jof one stone only) and til'teen and one-hal- f feet for parking. "The strip of parking ami the plant-ing of trees thereon should be in charge of a commission of men experienced iu horticulture and tree planting, to select trees, mode of planting and protection of the same. No doubt experienced gentlemen could be found in this city who would willingly and cheerfully serve on such a commission without pav, and consider it an honor to con-tribute to the beautifying of our city."

The wool clip of Colorado for 1800 is estimated by many at 11,000,000 pounds, but from the best information based upon the amount loft in the hands of the growers in December, INtio, and the shipments made up to that time, the annual wool clip for lH'.MI will not exceed 10,000.000 pounds, val-ued at about $1,.00,000.
