AMERICAN COUNTESS TO BE BRIDE OF AN ENGLISH 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 COUKT2C3 STAVRA. known as the beautiful American. It Is related that a Greek banker com mitted suicide beeattse she rejected him. 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, paintings and landed property to the countess. 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. % WILSON, The Photographer.
