Lively Battle for tba Office. Promised In
the Twentieth Ward Some)
.. - r
of the Candidates.
Politics anions; the Democrats of the
Twentieth ward is of a high tempera
ture at present and the outlook is that
there wll be lively times before -election
arrives. Last spring Select Councilman
Thomas J. Coyne set an example that
Is worrying the candidates now. He
ran on nomination papers and defeated
the regularly nominated Democratic
candidate. As It stands, the men seek
ing ottice at the next election are in a
quandary as to what course to pursue.
There are at least three candidates for
every office and it is feared that should
a caucus be held, the defeated candi
dates for the office would not abide by
the result of the caucus, but would get
on the ticket through the ' agency of
nomination papers.. Fcr this reason
there ia no one in n hurry about the
caucus, nor Is anyone anxious to have
It called. . Common Councilman Daniel
P. Battle, Timothy Lavelle and Oeorge
Decker have the calling of the caucus
in hand,
Fur.iivhool controller, John Glbobns
makes a strongcandidateand his friends
say he can easily overcome any opposi
tion that has boon set up against him.
He Is populur with the people, and his
record before vhile on the board will
count vevy much in his favor. Mr.
Battle, the present councilman. Is a
candidate for. re-election and hoes to
Mr In. There is htircily any question but
that Prof. John Kl Q'Malley, principal
of No. 4 school, and the present alder
man of the ward,-will he elected:.

AS TO TEA UK INKING.
It Is More Harmful Than Coffee,' the
Doctor Claim.
Tea drinking Is coming under thu .
vere lash of the medical profession, and
a physician In a recent article In a re-
ent montniy says that tea worshln
carried on by Its flr devotees In the
prettiest of drawing rooms, in the
smartest of teagowns, with the daint
iest of sliver, and china, may to a large
extent disarm them as to the real na
ture of this Insidious but Implacable
fiend. He further says the evil enwts
of the tannin In tea are readily Been by
Its ravages on the throats and stomachs
r tea tasters. It Is well known that
dyspepsia is often caused and Increased
by tea drinking; It Is harmful in two
ways. Neither should It be taken by
those suffering Worn varieties of henrt
affection, or by those having a feeble
circulation. Mental depression and ex-
remes or melancholia the doctor also
ttriDUtes to tea drinking and even sui
cidal monomania. This view is sup
ported by the lately published statistics
concerning the increase of lunacy
amongst the lower orders, considered
due in a measure to the -excessive
amount of tea drinking now prevalent
mongst them, and " those acquainted
with the ways of tea drinkers of this
Class, know that the teapot Is never off
the hob, and that tea In drunk at every
meal, as well as between meals.
It Is ancient history to say that the
tannin Is the cause of all the mischief,
nd that tea snouia le drunk Immedi
tely after It Is made. So extensive has
this knowledge on the subject become,
that at afternoon tea In fashionable
drawing-rooms, both in town and coun
try,' people are trying their hardest to
put It Into, practice, no easy matter,
for teamakers.both ladies and servants.
will not go with them, their notions of
hospitality being too strong to admit of
offering a weak cup ef tea to a valued
friend or ' a new acquaintance. The
struggle to decline the strong beverage
by saying "Not qu:$ so strong, please,".
or ' May a nave a mite-water, -wnen
there is no room left In the cup tor It,
are requests so nutating and trouble
giving to a smiling but embarrassed
tea maker, that a good-natured guest
finds It easier to swallow -the bitter po
tion than to make a fun about It,'
