Buffalo's local government has been for many years suffering from the same evilsNwhich have existed in every Amer ican city where the civic conscience of its citizens has been allowed to slum ber. The conditions today in Buffalo are about as they hav been for many years past. But the outlook for a change is bright. The November elec tion placed Air. J. N. Adam in the May or's office for four years from January 1st, 19i)(. He is thoroughly acquanted with the city's needs, having been for nearly ten years past a member of one or the other of two legislative boards. In these positions he has served with untiring . zeal and exceptional fidelity the interest of both the taxpayer and the municipality. On the ticket with Air. Adams was elected as Corporation counsel and comptroller, men who stand ready to co-operate with him in his .efforts. to inaugurate an.econorai' cal and progressive administration free from graft. Our legislative boards are not yet what they should be. But the people are beginning to appreciate their need of aldermen and councilmen who will serve their interests by acting in office as faithful trustees. Toward securing such, progress has been made. With in the past two years local leagues have been started whose purposes are to bring to the knowledge of the peo-? pie. the evjls existing in the city's gov ernment and business management and to point out ways and means of correct ing these evils. Much good has already been accomplished and is now being done by these leagues. Their success in arousing the interest of the citizens in their work is one of the most hope ful signs for the future. The fight for good government in Buffalo has only commenced and needs the assistance of every force in the country engaged in a similar battle.. It can be won in Buffalo as it lias been won in Chicago, St. Louis and Philadelphia. It will be so won when the citizens of Buffalo come to understand that God's strength and methods and only His strength and methods enable a Folk or a Jerome to triumph over political bosses and grafters. Little Anecdotes of Great Men. Secretary tells a good story of Pan ama. A journalist recently visited the isth mus to gather material for a book -on the canal.

Paul Dresser, the well-known author of sentimental songs, died last night of dropsy and a complication of diseases at his home, 203 West One Hundred and Sixth street. Dresser was an enormous man and had traveled far and wide in the hope of finding a means of re ducing his weight. He had been failing steadily in health for six months. Dresser was born in Terre Haute 47 years ago. His father operated a woolen mill and wanted Paul to go in to that line. The son, however, had different ideas, and when a barnstorm ing troupe giving a free show to adver tise "Wizard Oil." came along Paul ran away from home with it as the or gan player. . ... ' ' ... The old songs the show had in stock didn't appeal to him and he wrote some himself. His songs made a hit in the rural town and he was summoned to the headquarters of the medicine con cern at Chicago. He wrote many songs there which were got out in a songster along with advertisements of the oil. Dresser branched out for himself in 1885 and made a success with "The Let ter That Never Came." About this time he joined Billy Rice's minstrel troupe as one of the end men. His next piece to make a hit was "I Believe It, For My Mother Told Me So." He came to New York and was for some time engaged in the song publish ing business, lately with the Paul Dresser Publishing Company. It was in New York that he wrote "Just Tell 'Em That You Saw Me," and his big gest hit "On the Banks of. the .Wabash." Over 600,000 copies of this song have been sold. Four brothers and as many sisters survive him..' . i ... PARKER GARDNER CO. New TWO MILES A MINUTE. i William Wallace : Whitlock, - in iurK limes.. Two miles - a -minue!

Santa Teresa, once sainted . by the people of her native town, Cabora. in 'the state of Sonora, Mexico, - and later banished from Mexico by superstitious officers, who believed that she possessed su perhuman power, and was responsible for an . attempt to incite a revolution, has just died .an exile in Clif tonAriz. With the death q Santa Teresa or the Saint i6f Cabora, as she" -as. known in Mexico passes one of the most won derful characters of the past genera 'tio. - -'.hiv . r, x:-r-. wiVi -. A few vears ago in the little, pueblo of Caborai , in all the hills of Sonora, Mexico, Terresa UrreaV a plate' faced Mexican iirl of" lowly parentage and about eighteen years of age,, began to attract the attention of . her people by her alleged wonderful healing powers. She claimed that 'she was endowed with power to heal the sick and afflict ed and went about; among the poor people of her town demonstrating her power. It was claimed that she. accomplish ed some wonderful cures in the cases of people supposed to be incurably af flicted and wrought such apparent wonders in this line that, her native people made her a saint, and from that time on she was aftectionately known as Santa Teresa. During the time that she was at tracting so much, attention revolution ists were at work trying to incite an insurrection in Sonora. Santa Teresa was accused by the officials of the state, of being the' controlling influ ence that was stirring up the ' revolu tion and threats of banishing her . were freely made. .. . - s The sainted girl protested her inno cence of any connection with the revo lution .and she found a few "champions among influential ' citizens of Mexico, some of them public- officials. -Among these was 'Lauro Agnirre, of .this city, then a captain in the Mexican army. Banishment was the punishment, met ed out by; the government of the state of Senora ; to Captain ; Aguirre for his defence o the Saint of Cobora, and he came to this city, where he has since edited a Spanish paper known as La Reforma Social... . Santa Teresa was also banished, and in the year 1894 came to El Paso, where her fame as a divine healer had preceded her. She set up in a small tent in the - southwestern part of the city and the Mexican ; people flocked to see her in great numbers. The blind, the lame, the halt, the afflicted in every form crowded around her tent to receive the healing touch of her alleged divinely appointed , hand.; ' . ;,: There are many Mexicans in this city now who believe that Santa Ter esa was really possessed of some kind of healing power, and claim that she wrought cures that were nothing short of miracles. . She remained in El Paso for about a month and finally left, going to Arizona. -...- .-' -wai ROME'S FIRST SNOW IN. YEARS.

She was awakened early by her nurse and told to look ont of the window. There she saw the strange sight of jnowflakes, and was full of questions as to what the strange white things she saw flying in the air were and where they came from. The storm was of short duration, as the sun soon melted the flakes. The sight impress ed' the little princess as being a fairy like dream, while the flakes she thought to be fairies.

When' Some Men Die. "The world is made bigger, when, some men die." said a .well known citizen the other day. That seems like a rather peculiar proposition at first thought, but this gentleman went on to explain what he meant. It is this: Some men are so intensely selfish and have so much hog disposition about them so much of the miserly instinct that they stand in the way of progress. They buy land, or lots, in a growing town and refuse to improve, or sell at any reasonable price. They ;buy large farms and refuse to sell, unless, it is to somebody they can use or. control in their own interest. There are plenty of people who would pay a fair price and take the land and improve it, but the land miser either refuses to sell ' or places a prohibitive price on it; When such a land miser dies it generally leaves his property so that- it can go into the hands of progressive men.. That is what the gentleman referred to bv savins that the world is made bigger by the death of some men. Gladstone's Soeech For Irving. . Gladstone was a great admirer of Sir Henrv Irvine, and this admiration was shown one day in the House of Commons, Irving was under tne gaiiery in the house when suddenly, without apparent , reason, Gladstone leaped to his feet and delivered an impassioned speech, set off with all the expression and dramatic gesture for which, he was so famous. The house seemed sur prised. Members looked at one another and murmered, "What is the old. man now up to?" They thought it was some deep political game. But a sweek or two. later a friend" of Irving's. encoun tering Mr. Gladstone, mentioned h the actor's visit to the house, and Glad stone eagerly inpuired: "What did he think of my speech?
