SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Mach Speculation aa to W he Will Hal
Coats of Twelfth Ward toancll
mania Contest.
The matter of costs in the Twelfth
ward councilmanlc contest Is causing
Hf-nry W. Coyle and John J. Kearney
and the men who signed their petitions
no end of anxiety. The result of the
contest showed that sixty-three Illegal
votes were cast, nevertheless when the
decree declaring Morgan Sweeney and
James J. Man Icy elected was handed
down by Judge Archbald. h,e granted a
rule to show cause why Ihe costs shall
not be paid by the contestants.
The case will come un before argu
ment court, which begins next Monday.
An approximate estimate of the amount
of expense Incurred by the contest
places it at S2.U00 In each case. The
contesting of Mr. Sweeney's seat would
have been of little value to Mr. Coyle
even If the latter came out success
ful, because it was within a month of
the end of the term when the contest
closed.

M AklNU CHANGE I OR TWC-nFTY.
It Will Break I p tho System of the Aver
ago Cashier.
It was only a little two-dollar-and-a-half
gold Piece, but it is surprising the
amount of trouble a little thing can
sometimes make.
The young man had handed it to the
cashier In the restaurant, and was
waiting for his change, while behind
were two or three other people wait
ing ior him to get out of the way.
Put cashiers are methodical, and, fur
thermore, nine-tenths of them have
one certain way of making change
that Involves dealing in even dollars,
as a general thing. No matter what the
size of the bill, they take the amount
of the purchase out of the first dollar,
if it is below that figure, and then hand
over the rest of the money in dollars or
bills of larger denomination.
That was what puzzled this cashier.
"Oh! Two dollars and a half!" she
said, while she was trying to make a
mental calculation, according to her
usual system.
"That's what it Is," replied the young
man.
"Of course," she returned, slipping It
Into the drawer. "Check, 40 cents," a'nd
she counted out 60 cents in order to get
on the dollar basis as soon as possible,
after her usual fashion; "one dollar,
two dollars, three dollars no; that's
not right."
She was red in the face as she drew
the money back and began over again,
realizing that the paltry half dollar In
the gold piece had thrown her financial
system out of order.
She made three trials before she got
the right amount of change on the coun
ter, and well, If you don't believe that
a two-dollar-and-a-haltVgold piece will
"knock out" the average "lightning
change" cashier, try It some time and
you will be convinced.
WHY HE LOST HIS TEMPER.
He gets violent sometimes on very short
provocation, and when he slammed the
book down on the floor, his wire knew that
It wasn't anything very serious. But for
the sake of seeming Interested, she In
quired: i
"What Is the matter, Horatio?"
"I wish," he exclaimed, angrily, "that
this author would quit calling me 'gentle
reader.' "
"It doesn't make any difference, does
It?"
"Yes. It does make a difference. It's an
untruthful assumption. I don't like this
way he writes, and I ain't gentle when I
read his books. If I didn't get started in
before I knew It, so that I want to see
how his miserable story, conies out, I
wouldn't tolerate- his bad grammar and
worse sense for a minute, 'And when I'm
doing my best to be patient and bear with
him, to have him come along an' pat me on
the back and call me 'gentle rMder' gets
me riled, and I can't help showing It!"

I3ARKET AKD STOCK REFQRT
Wall Street Review.
New York. April 2X The revival of
the Venezuelan war scare in London
was promptly reflected In a decline at
the local stock exchange of anywhere
from Vi to 1H per cent. In prices. In
the dedllne Sugar and the Interna
tionals were most conspicuous.' The
selling for foreign account played di
rectly Into the hands of the wold-out
bulla and the latter attempted to force
further liquidations. They met with
little success, however, as commission
houses bought liberally at the decline.
As a result of this buying the Grangers.
Missouri Pacific, Michigan Central,
Lake Shore. Jersey Central and New
York Central sold at the best figures
attained since the current bull move
ment was inaugurated. In the last hour
of business Tobacco suddenly broke to
69V Early In the day the stock brought
744. The slump was duo to an uncon
firmed rumor that an Injunction had
been obtained restraining the payment
of the scrip dividend recently declared.
The break In '.he stock had but little
Influence on the general list, which held
fairly steady to the close. Net changes
show losses of Ma per cent.. Sugar
leading. The Grangers, however, show
slight gains for the day. Tobacco lost
4 per cent. Total soles were 79,d93
shares.
