Within the next sixty days an elec
tion will have to be held for a succes
sor to Mr. Wilbur T. Shinholser on
the board of county commissioners.
The four remaining members of the
board will call the election within
three weeks, and at least ten days must
then elapse before the polls could be
opened. As registration is necessary
in this instance—no registration having
been held this year—the election can
not be held within the ten days. It will
require thirty or forty days.
Yesterday was the regular meeting
day for the board of commissioners,
but out of respect to their deceased
member they adjourned until Thursday
morning, when only routine matters
will be taken up. It is not likely that
the vacancy on the board will be dis
cussed at that time, because it is be
lieved by them that it will be too soon
after Mr. Bhinholscr's death. Their
meeting, next after that to be held on
Thursday, will be two weeks hence, ana
It is likely that the call for the elect
ion will then be issued. The date will
be fixed thirty or forty days ahead,
and the registration will be pushed.
The friends of Hon. J. J. Amason are
bringing great pressure to bear on him
to induce him to become a candidate
to succeed Mr. Shltiohlser. It Is urged
In Mr. Amason’s behalf that by reason
of his great familiarity with the du
ties of the office, his untiring energy
and splendid judgment that he Is better
fitted than perhaps any one else to
discharge the duties of the office. The
present chairman of the county com
missioners has said of him that “there
wns never a more faithful or efficient
public servant." Mr. Amason has not
yet decided whether he will enter the
race or not, but his friends declare that
he will. It will be remembered that In
the last election he was whipped out
by such a close margin that he was
almost persuaded to demand a recount
of the ballots.
Among the other gentlemen whose
names have been suggested are Messrs.
Ben L. Jones, Ed Artope, Joe McGehee,
Henry Horne and others. None of
these has been consulted, but their re
spective friends are discussing their
qualifications for such on office if they
could be Induced to run.
RECORDER’S COURT
AND ITS JURISDICTION
The Telenrn|th'» rnbllcntlon lln*
Urncleil Considerable Attention
nd Tot the Politician* to Think-
Slnce The Telegraph showed several
ays that a movement is on foot to en
large the jurisdiction of the recorders’
court—so as to allow certain misdemeanor
cases to be prosecuted there instead of
being sent to the city court, and to employ
prrsecutlng officer for the recorder’ !
court—quite a numhor of people have tak-
up the subject and are discussing'It
pro and con. Some Insist that It would
be a great help to the city court, and
would -be a kindness to prisoners who are
often bound over from the recorder’s
court for a slight offense and have to
spend time In Jail awaiting trial In the
city court. Looking at It from this point
of view, some are inclined to favor it;
but regarding it from the standpoint of
the taxpayer, there aro those who think
it a needless expense. They think that
the prosecuting officer would have to be
paid out of the treasury, and at the city
court Judge's salary was Increased to
83,000 a few years ago to tompensate him
for locking after all auch cases as need
Immediate trial. Jt Is too much now for
the public to be asked to take on the
additional burden of 81.000 or 81.838008 pros
ecuting officer in the recorder’s court,
and roasibly to Increase the salary of the
recorder..
The source from which the Idea sprnng
Is a mystery to a great many peopl
and much conjecture about It has been
heard.
Whether or not those who are at the
head of the movement will find enough
encouragement on the part of the public

The current waa of 1.800 volts and
seven amperes, which was reduced af
ter two second! to 200 volts for half a
minute, and then Increased to Its origi
nal strength for two seconds, when It
was again reduced to 200 volts again
and Increased to 1,800 When It was
turned off, and the man was <i*ad.

I moved for a reduction In the prej*oa*
terous number of the#v funrttonarh i.
I did so not aolcly In the Intercets of
economy, but alao because It appeared,
to rn* that to uaeums that thirty -“-lx
chaplain* were necesaary to the king *
spiritual welfare wa# th* rover** of
fl.ittcrlng to hkt mujesty, for It Impl
that h* Is spiritually In a v» ry parlou#
plight. The commit lee would not llst^u
to any proposal for reduction; but tho
king hlrwudf haa now t iken my vb*w*
of the matter, und reduced his thlrty-
#tx chaplain:* t*> twi lv Su* b, however.
Is my confidfnce in lilrn that f believe
the king might reduce hi; stafr of
spiritual advisers by anothed 76 per
rent, without Incurring any ri^k either
In thii world or the next.

DINIIEM
IT THEIR
From the New York Hun.
The fact that cooks rarely have
much appetite for the food of their own
preparation Is Illustrated nightly at a •
well known uptown chop house. There
•re to be found the chef and several
of th* assistant chefs of one of tho
flrsg hotels In New York. These men
can have anything they want from the
the kitchen# In which they are em
ployed free of cost. The greatest lux
uries of the market are at u*. Ir dis
posal, and, furthermore, they know
that everything la beyond reproach.
The kitchens are supplied with all the
lat*st Improvements, and are so clean
and appetizing that visitors are taken
through them. Aa for rooking, th*
fact that many of tho beat known
gourmets of the etty have forsaken
the old resorts tor this on* Is ample
ra commendation. Yet the men who are
responsible for all this go nightly to
a simple 'hop house, where they have
to pay the name as other customer*
for th*lr suppers. The chef gave this
explanation:
"When n man Is constantly surround
ed by fr,- iiituffs he gets tired of th*
sight of them. It Is so with any oth-r
business. It is all right while you are
at It. but when your work Is dor.«* y< »
want to get away from It. We < . *
