Talk About the Matter. LONG A LAWYER AND , ALSO A GUARDSMAN. ‘Has an Inscrutable Little Smile as He Speaks of Himself as a © Possibility, but as Yet It Is Too Early for a Discussion of | Chances in the Fight. "T haven't been offered the nomina- Hon yet, so it would not ve proper for me to talk,” sald Col. Franklin Bartlett to-day in response to inquiries regard- ing the current rumors that the dis- tngulshed lawyer and independent Democrat was the selection of Leader Charles F. Murphy as the next Mayor- alty candidate of Tammany. There {s little in that simple reply, but there were volumes in the manner of the saying; the tone of the voice, the slight raise of inflection on the word “offered,"” and the twinkle of a smile that played about the full red lips un- Ger the tawny gray mustache. Col. Bartlett has been many years We- Yore the bar and has had as his oppo- nents in numberless cases the most astute members of the profession. These long years of practice, combined with natural talents, have trained him én all the subtle little arts of turning a word 40 @ doxen different meanings. The inscrutable little smile which ac- gompanied the word “offered’? might have been construed into a dozen dif- ferent meanings, To some it might have meant “Now, this 1s rather sudden, but I have been quietly expecting it for some time. Others might have Jumped at the conclusion that the Colonel had been handed the nomination by the convention but was under bonds to keep the matter a star chamber sec- ret. After careful pondering on the impression created by that qulet. little @mile, however, there 1s but one con- clusion to reach. Col. Bartlett knew full well that powerful influences were being brought to bear in his favor for the Democratic nomination for Mayor, but he knew just as well that it would neither be discreet nor according to the ethics of politics and the law. to ome out with a flat ‘Yes, “I tuow that I am being urged as a candidate, care to discuss it.” It was undoubtedly the thought of what he might have gaid with truth that caused the smile. Col: Bartlett ts fifty-six years old, but ‘were It not for the thin gray mustache and slight baldness above the forehead he could be taken for fifteen years younger. He walks with the firm, pringy step of youth and carries him-| elf with military erectness. His ey are bright and sparkling and the es Pressfon in them changes with remark- able rapidity. Even when he Js laugh- ing and. joking you can see that there is Dlenty of fire within that needs little fanning to burst Into flame, Tho Colonel refused quietly and firmly to discuss the local political situation from any point of view. He replied quietly that he was not a leader nor in @ny way connected with the running of the Democratic machinery in this city.

FRANKLIN BARTLETT, WHO MAY BE THE TAMMANY CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR THIS FALL; FORSYTH STREET A REAL KLONDIKE Diggers in a Sewer Ditch Turn Up Two Alien Coins and Gold Watch, Thus Precipitating a Rush of Prospectors.

A flood of moonlight pervaded the surrounding country and Mr. Braoke saw a group of cats lined up—not on the back fence, for there aren't any back fences on Mr. Brooke's domain— but gathered near the front gate In various poses, Some had their backs up and others were doing a waltz on the front lawn, An Old Offender. ‘The leader of the gang was a Maltese, which to Mr. Brooke's excited vision ap- peared to be about as large as a bear. He recognized Mr. Tom Maltese as an old offender, and, taking alm, shut his eyes and fired.

On the following day a vigorous blow of the pick turned up a Russian kopeck. The vigilant eye of a bystander saw It first and he yauited Into the ditch. He was immediately submerged in a human breaker that rolled over the fence into the excavation. More dirt flew out of the excavation in five minutes than had been dug up in four days, The scene resembled a riot. All of a sudden a naked little urchin wriggled out of the struggling mass and gained the street. He bolted for For- syth street. Suspicion was aroused, and two thousand men, women and children swept after him with a great shout.
