ARMY OFFICER.
Countess Stavra, formerly well
known in New York ns the beautiful
wife of Charles Tilton, a man of great
wealth, is soon to be married, a report
says, to Captain tie Rathe of the Brit
, ish army.
The countess is Rtill a young and
beautiful woman. Less than thirty
years ago she was born in a little New
York village and soon became known
throughout the county for her beauty.
A visit to New York was the means of
her meeting Charles Tilton, n man of
great wealth, who bought for her n
handsome house, which was decorated
and furnished at a cost of $120,000.
On the death of Mr. Tilton his widow
went to I’aris. where she was widely

It was at Monte Carlo that she first
met Count Stavra. They were married
In 1899, and a year later the count
died, leaving his vast wealth, Jewels,

WHO WILL WEAR BRUNSWICK’S
MAYORALITY TOGA NEXT TERM?
Now that all of the state and coun
ty politics for the year have been ad
judicated at the polls and the curtain
has been rung down on this scene for
at least two years, Brunswick natural
ly turns her attention to the munici
pal election which is to occur in De
cember.
The absorbing question at issue in
the premises is the mayoralty. Who
will wear the toga for tne next two
yearn. In the language of the im
mortal Hamlet: “That is the ques
tion.”
If dame rumor is: to be credited,
with any degree of sincerity a number
Brunswick’s well known business men
are not aversed to warming the chair
of the chief executive for the coming
term, and many of teem have been
mentioned by their friends in connec
tion with the office.
Among those who have been spoken
of may be included Messrs. R. R. Hop
kins, F. E. Twitty, E. Brohston, J. W.
Thomas, Albert Fendig, Tobias New
man, A. V. Wood, N. Emanuel, the
present incumbent, and others.
Of course there is always a number
of complimentary references made in
cases of this kind and very often ad
miring friends of prominent gentle
men who really have no ambition to
s-erve in the capacity qf_JJtm office in
question are brought 'iatff r notice;
such is the case here in
Brunswick and many of those who
have been figured on in the matter
would not have the office under any
circumstances, because of the fact
that their business engagements and
other good reasons make it impos
sible.
Therefore it may of interest to con
sider the question from a thor
oughly practical standpoint and
on tnis basis, it would seem
pretty safe to predict that the
race will narrow down to Messrs. R.
R. Hopkinsi and Mr. F. E. Twitty.
Both are strong men, closely asso
ciated with the commercial and social
life of the city and both of them have
many close friends, who will stand by
taem through thick and thin In a race
of this kind. Both of thesie gentlemen
are prominent members of the Good
Government Club, and it was through
the influence of this organization that
the present city and county adminis
trations came into power. With these
facts before usi it is no difficult task
to make the deduction that the race
will be a right loyal one and will be
far from that proverbial "sinch,” that
we occasionally hear of.
Another interesting feature of the
coming fight will he the fact that old
political lines will be smashed into
smitherings, and anew course of po
litical alignment will necessarily be
made. The two candidates who will
probably he pitted against each other,
have worked in harness together in
the past, they are pulling apart this
year, in what column will the old fol
lowers! land?
Will they stand by Hopkins, tne last
candidate for the mayoralty of the
Good Government Club? Or will
they line up for Twitty, the local Dick
Croker of the city of Brunswick ami
the acknowledged leader of bis party?
There is still another interesting
question in connection with the com
ing municipal contest. What will tne
old ring supporters do? It is practi
cally conceded that they will offer no
candidate for the mayoralty, but
where will they land in the scramble?
These are a few of the pertinent
features of the campaign, which prom
ises to be an interesting one, and to
the Brunswick citizen wno is posted
on the political situation, it must be
apparent that the problem is a com
plex one and that no man at this stage
of the game can with any degree of
accuracy prognosticate as to who
will be the executive head of the city
of Brunswick for the years 1903 and
1904.
Of course the question of al.ier
manTc timber has! come in for a share
of comment and in this connection
many names of well knoiyn Brunswick
citizens have been mentioned as be
ing good material to fill the places to
be vacant with the close of the pres
ent year.
After all, the members of council
THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS
really make the laws and the matter of
selecting therfl tlSs come to be quite
as an important one ns that of select
ing the mayor.
Among those who have been dis
cussed in' this connection arc Messrs.
E, F. Coney, W. H. Tapper, C. Miller,
L. Feibelman, B. Padrosa, .1. A. Butts,
and a score of otners.
At this stage of the game if is hard
to tell now the lines may be drawn
as to the respective tickets, but from
all indications it now seems that two
full fledged tickets wille be placed
in the field, headed by the respective
gentlemen named above lor the may
oralty Of course there will bo some
issues in this campaign. The whiskey
laws will have to lie considered;
many of the dealers are not satisfied
with the present early closing ordi
nance, and 'they will, in all probabil
ity, want to make this an issue in the
light.
So, considering all of the facts in
the matter, it is slafe to conclude that
tne coming municipal election will see
some strange political bed tellows and
hi all will lie unique in more ways
than one and may he the cause of
bringing a general revolution in the
present political affiliations of a large
number of Brunswick politicians.
In the meantime everybody is “sit
ting steady in the boat,” waiting for
developments. %
