Drlscoll came back to the hearing and
maid that he believed Conrad to be all
right and would vote for him. Not
only that but Drlscoll came out and
announced that he did not believe in
trenttnir Conrad any worse than any
other saloonkeeper and for that reason
mud a rjersonal flKht ior coiirau,
whom he said he liked.
DrisooU's New Move.
Drlscoll soon obtained rhe reputation
of being tha'" representative of the brew
ery and liquor Interests In the council
which he did not take the trouble to
denv. Then he sprang a surprise lie
Introduced an ordinance prohibiting
saloonkeepers from allowing women to
eater saloons, tie sain mm an mnuii
rt Hi invstiirntlanti nnd from the evi
dence produced at Hie hearings of the
' liquor license committee, the presence
of women jn saloons was the cause or
all the trnuhle.
The rent or the councllmrn were prac
tlmllv forced to auree wllh Drlscoll,
but t'lia ordinance which he had City
Attorney John P. Kavanaugh draw up
for him to bar women from entering
saloons was carefully sidetracked and
has not been passed to this (lay, al
though It was Introduced last 1-ebru-
arv. The measure will come up tomor
rnw mornltm from the committee on
holth nnd rtollce with the recommends
tlon that It pass. Its passage is doubt
ful. Jn the meantime Drlscoll fought to
retain the license for Conrad. It is
said that he conceded everything to the
other members of the council combina
tion In order to retain their support for
the license. They supported nun uimi
a week or so ago but finally gave way.
The licetise diet! a natural death by not
being renewed.
Airs Sis Views of Council.
At the last council meeting Council
man Wills put In an ordinance revoking
the license commonly believed to be
owned by Conrad, but which had passed
on to P.. C. O'Mearn. This stirred up
Drlscoll and he got busy at once. Klrst
he forced Wills to withdraw the ordi
nance, which was done.. Then Drlscoll
got busy.
He started In bv telllnar the combina
tion what he thought of them Individ
ually and collectively and added that
he had no strings tied to him; that he
was not controlled by brewery, corpor
ation or any other Interest and that
Id an linne. Then ho talked
to Councilman Kellaher and Councilman
Rushlight his sworn enemies of the
minority party. His words were of an
gelic softness and pleased the leaders
of the minority party as nothing; else
could Finally Drlscoll ana vaugnn Kin
together the two men who a few
months ago were calling each other
liars and threatening to kick one an
other's head off In the council cham
To see them standing apart from the
rest, talking In tne most confidential
innpi was a treat that few had ever
nintrul And none had ever dared be
lipve would occur. Hut It did. Since
th first conference these have been
vrnl others of still more conflden
tlal nature and like the famous twlr.n
of a, certain cleansing powder they did
the work vesterdny afternoon which
lft a hltfh polish on the csn that Drls-
tlll wants to hang on his late partners,
parties Chang Flans.
More Interesting than any other
phase of the row that has disrupted the
faction Is the fact that Drlscoll will be
able to carry over with him several of
the majority party, which means that
the majority party Is now the minority
party and that the minority party has
fair chance of becoming the majority
yariy.
Aside from the Drlscoll-Vaughn love
Teast at yeelerday's meeting of the
committee Deputy City Auditor Joe
Hutchinson was Instructed to summon
a number of saloonkeepers to appear be
fore the committee and show why their
licenses should not b revoked. This
IS another body blow to the old com
btnatlon and will result In another ser
les Of sensation that followed the
hearings of the committee last winter,
The commlttea atHitml lh hull roll
ing yesterday by refusing to transfer
mo license, or j. M. fry. Aider
street, to 261 Hood street. This trans
fer was refused beoause of Councilman
ioldlng s statement that there are
enough saloons in the district at the
present time. Other reasons may re
suit In the revocation of the Fry license,
however. It Is said that he sells liquor
on Sunday but thus far has carefully
conceaiea ins fact from the police.

Is expected that there will he one of
the warmest meetings ever held, and that
the saloonkeepers will have to conduct

that he Is ready to revoke every 11

was Broadway the great, thronged with
traffic and crowded with hurrying peo
ple, the city's great thoroughfare, all
alive with the magnetism of its mighty
human current, but the three little girls
had no thought of all that; all they
thought of was getting those boards
broken, and they went about this In
the simplest way In the world. In a
way familiar enough to those who have
need to know It.
Ranging themselves for companion
ship sake side by side along the edge
of ths sidewalk while the raried traffic-
roared along the street in front, the
three little girls calmly laid half a dot
en of their strips of wood down with
ons end on the eurb and the other in
the street, laying the sticks thus to gat
them broken by passing wheels.
The first vehicle that came along
near the edge of the sidewalk was a
big truck whose wheels rolled right
over the middle of these half a dozen
pieces of board and smashed them
beautifully. Then the three girls gath
ered these rleces up and laid down half
a dozen more strips of board In the
same way, and in course of time got
all the wood broken In this way.

"The porgv, ' said a man who knows
something about fish and fishing, "Is at
Its best In these latitudes from about
May 16 to Junit 16 It Is In that period
that we get the biggest porgles In their
finest condition, and at lis best tht
porgy Is a very nice fish to eut
"There 'are people who conHlder tho
Forgy as S sort or cinirnon, ordinary
Ish, but as a matter of fact It U a clean
feeder and It llk good things to
It feeds on young oysters and cI.iiuh,
and on young crabs and other small
crustaceans, und feeding on such food
its own flesh Is very agreeable to thu
taste. And while the porgy Is it i a
particularly graceful fish. It Is when
seen sJIvs and swimming a fih of very
pretty coloring, pleasing to the ye.
"At one or another season the porgy
Is found all along our coast from Cap.t
Cod to Florida. Wo get the first of thnu
here along In April, when they begin to
come up from the south, and tliose
earlier fish are likely to appear first at
the eastern end uf the sound, thoittli
they may come at the same time up tlie
jersey coast Later they come all along
the coast in greater numbers.
"Flshennen catch porgles In set nets,
in seines drawn from tho shore and In
purse uets In the open water. Forinerly
porgies came In great numbers up Into
New York bay and harbor. There w.i
a time when the fishermen of Gravescnd
Hay, If the shad fishing had been poor,
would leave their nets down to catch
porglea. but even If there was still shad
fishing there they wouldn't be porgies
enough to pay.
"Once It was common to catch por
gies fishing from New York wharves.
But not many would he caught that
way now. The Increased t raffia and
the increased pollution of the waters
keep them away.
"In various hays around New York
there are still caught with hook and line
many porgies, and there may be good
sport Ashing for them In season, but
the porgies thus caught are likely to be
mostly email. in summer me oig lei
lows don't like the shallower waters:
they prefer to stay off where the water
la deeper and cooler. You get good
g orgy fishing, for Instance, off around
look Island or In deeper waters down
around the Jersey coast.
'Though they-are still a great market
fish It would be rather an unusual thing
now to find porgies on a restaurant bill
of fare. But there was a time when the
porgy was held In somewhat higher es-
teem by connoisseurs when In certain
downtown old time famous restaurant
the porgy In Its season wns iiimiIi
something of specialty ami btn mt
went to HiAse pltiut-s specially '- eat It
as It was there prepund aud there are
yet for that matter In tills prt of ths
town some -old fashioned or at least old
established restaurants In which lhy
still serve th porgy In fine shape,"

Whenever a building la torn down
there is always a certain amount of
refuse material that the hnusewrecker
doesn't think worth carting away to his
yards. This la thrown to one side to
be carried off by anyone who want It
and there Is always somebody that dos
want it, people gnther It up and take
It home to use for firewood
Women are among the wood gather
ers at such places, and they gather the
wood and tie It up in great bundles
which they carry home on their heals.
You might meet anywhere, even In the
busiest prts of the town, a women
carrying home In this way n. bundie
