Parker this morning ran up against a garbage complaint, and by the time it got out of his hands it was evident that be proposed to deal de- cisively with the failing contractor. The letter set forth that the garbage had not been removed at the writer's house since January 31, “Enforce the penalties of the contract against the contractor,” coatinues the letter, ‘imple and complete ‘oblem.” Com- minsioner Parker wrote the following: “Respect- fully referred to the health office. There is very much complaint about the, collection of garbage. I hope you will take this matter up in such way as will compel the contractor to faithfully carry out his contract.” SUNDAY AND THE SALOONS, The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the District sent a memorial to the District Commissioners yesterday, praying that the law against opening saloons on Sunday be strictly enforced tomorrow, by special order to the police, This they claim is in full ac- cord with the order of President- elect Cleveland and Secretary Noble, and they ask that the Sabbath be made one befitting a Christian nation on this inangural oceasion. The memorial is signed by Mrs. 8. D. La Fetra, president; Mrs. M. E. © first vice presi- dent; Mrs, T. A. Williams, treasurer; Mrs. Emma F. Shelton, recording secretary. MISCELLANEOUS. The Commissioners today upon the recom- mendation of Capt. Fiebeger discharged Wm. Edelin, assistant bridge keeper at the Navy Yard bridge, and appointed Wm. P. Vander- slice to fill the vacancy. ———_ A YOUNG WOMAN'S MISFORTUNES. Robbed by = Scoundrel Who Sought to Wrong Her.

THOSE WHO ARE KXOWN BY THEIR NICK- NAMES AND HOW THERE WERE ACQUIRED— HOW THEY MAINTAIN THEIR HOLD UPON THEIR SUBJECTS —THEIR PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS. There are hundreds of political leaders in the city whose prominence makes them central figures. In the lobby of an uptown hotel there stood a group of men last evening whose strik- ing personal characteristics and great political power entitle them to special notice. They are men who control votes, in fact own votes. They can say “Iwill deliver to you 1,000 to 8,000 votes” or “I will take away from you this number of votes.” They are politi- cians. Politics is their business. They manipu- late votes as the Wall street man manipulates stocks and deal in them as the merchant deals in any commodity. It seems stzango that one man can thus hold in the hollow of his hand the suffrages of so many men. It would ap- pear that their constituents do not think for themselves. This isto « certain extent true. ‘These men do the “‘thinkin’ ” for them. ‘THE KING OF CONEY ISLAND. The most unique figure in American politics today, as well as one of the most powerful individual members of the democratic party, is John Y. McKane. He is forty-seven years of age, of middle stature, athletic build, blonde mustache an@ florid complexion. He dresses neatly and in good style, always wearing a white necktie He is called the “king of Coney Island” and no monarch in Europe has more absolute sway over his subjects than he has. He is a Methodist, takes an interest in church ‘work and teaches ® Sundayschool class. Up to nine years ago he was a democrat. Boss McLaughlin put in nomination an assembly- man who was not acceptable to Mr. McKane, who informed the boss that unless the nomina- tion was withdrawn he would go over to the re- wablican party and take his followers with him. Ere was laughed at. He went over and so did 2,500 voters in the Gravesend district of Long Island. He marched in the Harrison inaugural, for he was then ® republican. Tomorrow he marches in the democratic ranks, for he is now a democrat. It was necessary to bring McKane back into the fold of the democracy. But he made his own terme, which were that he was to be rein- stated in full favor, president of the board of supervisors of King’s county, a member of the King’s county centra} committee, a member of the state central committee and a state elector. His army of subjects cast an overwhejming vote for Cleveland. But there was a and though the democratic electoral ticket received McKéane’s full strength, it was cast solid for the local republican ticket. Numerous efforts have been made to break this man’s tremendous power and to disinte- grate this solid voting mass that obeys blindly his dictates, but all have failed. The legislature once gerrymandered, as it were, the election precincts of his district by placing the polling places so far apart that he could not visit them, all in the day. Jobn put a booth for each vot- he wanted them, and his action was sustained by the courts. ‘He is the chief of police of Coney Island. He handles the, 200,000 people who come down there daily with the case that all Washington handles that number of inaugural visitors.
