ARTIST PO Which Are Meant for the Better- ment of the City. Mr, Randolph Guaggenheim- er, the Acting Mayor of New York, is suave and af/able. He is a man of many projects that tend to the betterment of the city. Mr. Uan Wyck not being a speechmaker, the Prest- dent of the Council does the talking on occasions that call for recognition from the Cily Hail. If he has one hobby it ts the adwancement of the poor boy who has plack and brains and shows ambition. Bat let Artist Powers tell of his,tatk with him: Wher I look back upon my achteve- went I am almost impelled to chide my- welt for the timidity with which I em- Barked upon ft. I hed been credibly in- fermed that to gain an audtence with the august Mayor Van Wyck it was ul- mort neccosary to use a jimmy. In view of this I anticipated that to get to Act- ing Mayor Guggenheimer I should be compelled at leant to use an axe. Believe me, gentle reader, when I say that tho only thing that blocked my path was a policeman. This follceman ts a most tmpressive person Indecd. To Interview the Mayor ft Is necessary to pass him. As I bore down upon him he ported his helm and lay broadsideto in my course, FELL DEAD AS ‘THE MINSTRELS SANG MRS.
