Advertising Is a Feature.
If matters aren't going; to be lively
In the vicinity of the Young Men s
Christian association building for the
next six weeks, lust night's evidence
was very deceptive. The Reds and the
Blues have perfected their organiza
tions, and each held a separate council
of war In the association, building last
night. It Is proposed to Increase the
inembVi-ship from something a little
over 700 to 1.501. and . the side that
accomplishes the most toward that end
by April :so will bo treated to a royal
banquet.
The strife that will be occasioned was
shown In the hustle and excitement,
which utlciided each of the meetings.
ne uuuciuulutel with the spirit of the

the bantering and Joking between the
two factions.

net with his ten lieutenants anrt forty
privates In the south parlor; while Cap
tain All-Clave and th same numbered
force met at the opposite side of the
building. What transpired at either
council. of war wan not revealed. Sen

who were uctiug us spies for their re
spective forces. .
TI1KY WORK TIIK1R COLORS.
The Hlues wore neckties and lupel
buttons of blue, while the Reds were
revealed by the same articles, but of a
red color.
Karly in the evening the Reds placed
a red-lettered poster on the street bul
letin board calling attention to their
meeting. A few- moments later It was
torn down by the Blues, and a similar
ly winded blue poster was put in its
place. This In turn was torn down by
the Reds and a red poster was for the
Kei'onil 1 1 in tacked up. Again there
appeared a blue poster, but the colors
kept changing ho rapidly that Is was
Impossible to say which party fired the
last gun. There was the same tear
ing down of red and blue placards In
and outside the main rooms uf the
building.
There were other episodes which left
no doubt of the earnest work each side
will perform to win. For Instance, in
yesterday's Tribune appeared the fol
lowing advertisement at the head of
the city note column:
"Join the Blues."
Timing the day the Reds contracted
for the following line to bo printed
beneath the above announcement of
the Blues:
"Why, no! Join the Reds."
The circumstance goes to show to
what extremes the two factions will go
to outwit each other and the two ad
vertisements appear In The Tribune
this morning.
The Tribune has already been "np
pronched'" by the Red and Blue repre
sentatives to boom their respective
causes, another evidence of the lobby
ing, scheming, spying und all the other
subterfuges usually resorted to In legiti
mate warfare.

Clement has given to the stage another

botanist Is a nobleman in heart as well
as birth. Possessed of a kindly wit he
sees the humor of his own mistakes
and smiles with thoe who laugh at him.
The language he ties Is beautiful and
poetic, full of Imagery ami Idiom. It
Is never the ignorant, clumsy attempts
of the lowly or Ill-bred. Mr. Clement's
impersonation is Invariably pleasing.
His quaint, delicious comedy, has with
it a touch of pathos that appeals. He
Is the botanical enthusiast and yet
withal is a whole-souled hearty man.
The character in Mr. Clement's hands
Is an artistic achievement, of which that
young and versatile actor may well he
proud and It Is one which cannot full
to elicit well merited applause."

Schlager reference was made to the ex

indictments. The constables made their
quarterly return. In only two baili
wicks was there any liquor sold with
out a llcese.
Constable John C. Moran, of the
Twelfth ward, in his return reported
that Daniel Hayes, of Stone avenue,
has been maintaining a place for the
sale of liquor without a license in vio
lation of the -laws regulating the sale
of the ardent. Mr. Moran once upon a
time, but it Is away back in the 'no's,
reported .Mary Ann Hayes, wife of
Daniel, for the same offense, but she
was never brought Into court to answer
the charge.
HECORD 18 SPOILED.
There are no gambling houses In the
Twelfth, he suy9: there have been no
disturbances of the peace at elections;
no deer klllfd out of season over there,
but the roads and bridges are in only
passable condition. It is unfortunate
that Hayes should be the only one in
the ward to digress and thus spoil the
brilliant record that has heretofore
been the good fortune of that bulliwlck.
Constable Patrick Roach, of the
Seventh ward, reported that Henry lie
Hale and wife, Mury Ann, Martin
Dougherty and wife, Ann; Mary Mainl
and Kate Malloy, have been guilty of
dispensing Intoxicating liquors without
a license. Constable Roach was grati
fied to suy in his return that the roads

condition. Hunters have lived up to
the law down there and have not killed
any deer out of season. And as for
disturbances of the peace at elections,
none could be discovered even with one
of Roentgen's cathode rays.
Constable William Sonn, of Throop.
had no liquor law violations to report,
but there was an Illegitimate child born
to Hannah Indian, and she alleges that
the paternity of the infant belongs to
Peter Parry.
EV1DENCR HARD TO OET.
The quurtette of constnbles who
found something to report Is rounded

ATTORNEY MALE REMOVED
Is No LomiLT Executor uf the Estate
uf IC K. Ellis.
ORDEK OP JIDGE EDWARDS
It Was Made Yesterday and Declares
tbe Executorship Vacant Reasons
That Led to This Action Being
Taken by the Ellis Heirs.
Attorney George W. Beale' Was yes
terday deprived by the court of any
further management of the estate of
R. K. Ellis, deceased. The significance
of this is that Mr. Beale Is in straitened
financial circumstances and ' that his
property will be seized to collect a large
amount of money, which he owes the
estate. The petition on. which Mr.
Beale'a removal was based was pre
sented by A. D. Dean, reprenentlng the
estate of Esther Meade, ulleglng that
the further continuance of Mr. Beale
as executor of the Ellis estate would
Jeopardize It and be detrimental to the
interests of the beneficiaries.
About three or four years ago R. K.
Ellis died. He lived in West Ablngton
kund was worth an undivided one-half
interest In eighty-four acres of land,
valued at $8,000. Ills half and his er
sonal property was appraised at $5.-
4.71. Mr. Beale was the executor. In
due time he filed a first partial account
of htsnist and It wan, coithrmed final
ly. I pon the audit of, the account $1.-O-Mi
111 wan awarded to the: estate of
Esther Meaile, who vus one of , the de
visers under the will, und on Dec. 21,
ISM. The auditor was directed to pay
this amount to the Meudu nutate.
MONEY NOT TURNED OVER.
Mr. Beale failed to turn the money
over and th court was asked to order
him to tile a bond in the sum of IG.OOO
with two Buret les to be approved by the
court Ten days was the time, fixed in
which he should file the bond. In de
fault of the filing of such a bond the
court served notice on Mr. Heale that
his office as executor would be declared
vacant, and his letters testamentary
revoked. The ten days given him were
lengthened out, and the time was ex
tended to Feb.. 8. He plead that If he
had sufficient time It would enuble him
to straighten matters out.
On Jan. I'S last upon request' ot At
torney Dean, the court directed a fl.
fa. to issue from the orphan's court
as Judgment against Mr. Beale. The
document Is now on file in the olllce of
Prothontary Pryor, but no execution
has yet been made upon it. Th& order
declaring the executorship vacant was
made yesterday by Judge .Edwards,
and Is as follows:

SHORT STORY.
THREE GOOD STORIES.
Harper's Editor's Drawer far March has
some pretty good stories. Here are three
of them: Voting Sloam was ever noted
for his perfect breeding, and though as a
college student he was sometimes a trifle
tho worse for a late supper he never for
got to D true to nis cone, on one Alien oc
casion, after a most determined effort to
enter a house which he believed his own.
he was met ut the door bv the scuntllv
attired master of the mansion with in
formation as to his whereabouts and the
added news that the householder had u
sick wife and child unstulra who had been
disturbed.
sloam made object anolonles ami ie-
parted, but his home seemed lo elude him
und aguin the same irate householder was
brought to his door by Sloam's knocks for
UlimiHHIOIl.
'Dldn t I tell you this was niv house?"
cried the Indignant man. "And don't you
remember .thai my, wlfo and child ure
Iff'?" ,
r remember . in-rfectlv " answered
Sloam, sobered for Ihe moment, -and I
lurrely returned. ' lr. to ask how" they
wr getting alitng." I- '
Durlns- the late war t'lLtitnln Smith, nt
Richmond, with two friends chanced to be
in the vicinity of a. certain farm hoime. in
the attic of which (so rumor sluteill wus
stored a goodly number of demijohns tilled
with lino old spirit. The captain, who
had a summering tongue and a weakness
ioi- tne "rosy," suagesled that his com-
anions and himself should slop ut the
ouse In uuestlon at such an hour in the
evening as would elicit an invitation to
spend the night. The plan was aci-unll ug
ly put Into execution. The three wet as
signed to the same sleeping apartment
and Mfter their host had bid them "good
night" iney perceived In one corner of tho
room a rough stulrway, ut the hpn.l of
which wa a trap-door. This evidently
led to the loft of which thev hud heard
and the captain seized the candle and as
cended the steps. Unfortunately, how
ever, when he had reached the nil. 1. lie of
the attic a sudden gust from some open
ing in I ho wall extinguished the light und,
In groping his way In the darkness, he
struck against an object, w hliii fell to the
floor with a noise which renoundcd
through the house. A moment ufterwarl
he heard a door on the tirst floor open, fol
lower iy ine neavy tread oi the runner
making his way to the upper story. Dis
covery and disgrace were Imminent. 10s
cape was IniiHisslble. In his despair a
strategy suggested itself lo the confed
erate und, in a manner tuiconveyatilo
hruilKli this medium, ho uttered lluoc
prolonged, ugonized cuterwuuls.
A momentary silence followed this ef
fort ;iiiijthen, to his Infinite relief, he re
treating steps of 'his host smote nnon his
ear. When ipilet ugaln reigned Ihe otll
ccr signaled cautiously to his comrades
and, gullied by their voices, succeeded in
getting buck to ins room und finally to
lie. i.
The next morning, as they sat around
the breakfast tuble, their rural enter
tainer expressed a hope I hut his guests
rested Well.
"Ye-ye-yes." stammered 'the captain,
"P-P-P-pretty well, but a co-confoiui.l'd
rut got in that loft over our heud.t alii
maim u iti-thuinlerlu noise und wuked us
up."
"Yes," said the farmer, dryly, "there
are a good many cats about here an' I
often hear 'em holleriu' around, but last
nigni wits me very nrst time 1 ever heard
a Htutteiin' cat holler."
In wrath and tears Edith Huwlett hud
gone" to bed. She had been tucked In
once, given a drink twice, kissed good
night three times and the lamp hud been
extinguished, but the spark of rebellion
mill burned In her vhil.llsli soul.
"Alainma," she cried.
"lo to sleep, Edith," her mother said,
Sternly; "1 shall not come in there aKuln."
"1 want a drink, munimu," Edith ipleud
ed. "You've had two drinks already. Now
go io Sleep.
There was a brief silent;, am then
I'.uiin men again.
".Mamma, conio und kiss me good,
night."
"You've been kissed good-night, dear,
und I shall not come in uguin, ho go to
steep at once line a good girl.
There was another pause, while this
lonely child cudgeled her little brain for
a new expedient.
".Mammu," she ctieil at last, "please
come m; i in so Hungry. '
"You cannot have anything to cut to
night, and if I come in there again," the
mother said, wl;h rising c holer, "It will be
io gve you a k.io.i spanKing '
There was a longer pause, and Just ns
u ocgun io iook as it tne evening s buttle
were over Ihe chilli's voice was heard
ugaln.
"Mamma," she pleaded, I'm so lonely in
nere, t'leaso come in and spaaK lur!
