The City Council, ui iti- meeting lust
night. besides disposing of ? muss of
departmental routine business and
making the usual monthly upproprla
utlona, considered several mutters of
Interest The attention or the body
was brought by Councilman Price to
the too free arid dangerous use of fire?
works in celebrating Ciuitlina? and to
the many serious" accidents that oc?
curred here on Christmas Day by the
explosions of big crackers. An Inter?
esting discussion followed, und a Joint
committee of three, consisting of
Messrs. Price and Williamson, on be?
half of the Council, and one to be
numed by the Board of Aldermen, was,
appointed to consider the matter and
report recommendations. The disposl-l
tion of the Council Is not so much to
interfere with the use of the small
crackers as to eliminate the big dyna?
mite and cannon erurkers from saluj
in the city. These are not only dan-'
^"?rciUB to pi rsons and property, but
are a nuisance to the public The com-I
mlttcc, as Boon at, organized, will glvnl
careful 'consideration to the matter.
The Coum-ll concurred with tho'
board of Aldermen In the ordinance
providing foi the oiling ot certain
Streets, and referred to tho Finance'
Committee and the City Attorney the.
question of how liest to enforce pay-:
.rit of local assessments for sidewalks j
slid other Improvements.
A bill ot ?300 for copying the regls- |
tratlr.ti books?$50 for each ward?pre
tented through the Claims Committee,
aroused opposition on the ground that
the rH.-irgi- was excessive and that the
work should have been done for much
less rr'ee. The bill was referred for
iidjustmc lit.
A message from the Mayor notified]
ih< Council of the ill health of Dr. R.
II. Jones, one of the three city phynl
Cluus, and suggesting that he 1>?- rlvenl
a vacation of lour mouths arid a sub?
stitute employed In his place. The
Council was doubtful as to Its author?
ity In the promises, and referred thol
question to ib. City Attorney for an|
opinion.
Chairman Mattox. of the I-ower Ap-1
pomuttox iioard, reported that a sub-1
committee of the board had been ap
pointed to iievi.se some way to make]
the city wharves a source of revenue. |
The sum of ICR was appropriated to|
employ for thirty days a man to take
chargi of th? new signal 'phone police
alarm system, to get It In good w ork- j
Ing order.
The ordinance providing for the ere-'
atlon of a Hoard of Public Safety was
laid over until the February meeting,
a; was also the proposition to acquire)
the property and rights of the Peters?
burg Acqued?ct Company, us was alsol

will be on sale at all news-stands on Thursday, January 4th.
The name of this magazine is
This is the first time a great big magazine
has ever been issued as a WEEKLY, and
THE CAVALIER is a great big magazine
of 192 PAGES. Weekly publications are
always thought of as of pamphlet shape.
But slavery to conventionality of this sort,
which is wanting in common sense, has
never had much of a pull with us. The
regular magazine shape, which is of the
nature of a book, makes the best publication
for reading and for preservation, be it weekly
or monthly.
The frequency of issue has no bearing on
the problem.
A NEW STORY EVERY WEEK
We shall begin a new serial story every
week in THE CAVALIER-52 A YEAR.
This is a whole library of books, and in
addition you will get six or eight hundred
short stories. All this enormous volume of
reading will cost, by the year, ONLY FOUR
DOLLARS. Then, too, each issue of THE
CAVALIER will have a baseball article by
CHARLES E. VAN LOAN, who is easily
the cleverest baseball writer in the world.
These baseball articles simply hum with the
whir of the ball.
The Destroying; Angel
By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE
This story is very much worth while. Vance is one of the most popular book authors of the
day. His books sell for $1.50, and are among the very big sellers.
Get this first copy of THE CAVALIER, in which this Vance story
starts. Ask your newsdealer for it. If he has sold his supply, he
can get you a copy, or you can get it from us. The price is TEN CENTS.

Taft an Avowed Candidate for Renomination
and Will Not Quit Fighting Till Ballots Are
Cast in Convention.
I Washington, lanuary 3-?'Ofothlnit,
liul death enu keep rue out of the fleht
! now,"
I President Tart 1? reported to have
mude tills statement to White House
callers to-day, and to have added that
he had no tfbjeotlon to the statement
being made public.
It undoubtedly waj intended to set
at rest all reports that Mr. Taft might
withdraw from the race for the Re?
publican nomination for President In
favor of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.
The President If said to be thor?
oughly aroused to the gravity of the
situation In the Republican party and
determined to let his attitude be gen?
erally understood He has declared
that under no circumstances will he
withdraw his name from consideration
by fr?e Chicago convention next June,
and hn^ asserted that his position with
respect to the nomination Iirh not
changed in any particular since he first
entered the White House.
Mr. ?Taft has told friends and party
leaders from the first that If he should
be called upon to stand for re-election
he would be glad to do so: that he felt
under obligations to the party for hav?
ing made him President, and was will?
ing to abide Its decision In the con?
vention. He adheres to this position,
according- to announcement to-rlny, and
will not quit the racA until the nomi?
nating: ballots are east at Chicago.
Signal for Active Campaign.
The President was urged by n num?
ber of his closest friends to make n
definite statement as to his position,
agreed to do so. and did so In the
language quoted abov*. With this
statement as their Inspiration, it Is
said, the Taft supporters will begin an
active campaign In his 'behalf at nnrc.
It was stated to-day that some of
Mr, Tuffs friends have gone so far
lately ns to ndvlse him to openly break
with Colonol Roe-ip.voll and to chal?
lenge the latter to make plain Itis in?
tentions. The President has declined
to do this. The White House has been
fairly flooded with callers lately, who
have brought word to President Taft
that Colonel Roosevelt so far has de?
clined to say that ne would not accept
the nomination if It we're tendered to
him. It also hn? been reported to the
White House that Colonel Roosevelt
believes'an organized effort la being
made to "smoke him out." and that
he declines to be "smoked" by cither
the. Taft or La Follette forces.
Th<e President has listened to all of
these reports with an indulgent smile,
but has refused t- indicate whether or
not he believes thorn. It Is vehemently
denied at the White House, however,
that Mr. Tnft hng sent any "messen?
gers" to Mr Roosevelt "on any subject
whatsoow r."
The President has been urged for
weeks to make a more progressive cam?
paign in his own behalf. He has re?
plied i.hnt he did not think political
activity ' comported with presidential
dignity. He now hns consented that
his friends shall carry forward the
fight as vigorously as they desire, and
he will lend what assistance he prop?
erly can.
llrnH-surcd by Krlrnd?.
The Presid-jut hoard many friendly
and warm groutlngs to-day. Senator
Bradley, of Kentucky, told him he
would get every one of trio' dnlogalos
Prom Kentucky, whlln tnlkt<ng, over th?
situation In th%t State, .
"Th*?? aA?4 dj? n<> dcariit *j to KJtn
tuck." Senator Bradley declared. "The '
Republicans o;' my State are strongly
for President Taft, and will support
hi in to the limit."
Senators Curtis, of Kanrar; Smoot.
of Utah, and Briggs, of Now Jersey, all
talked polities to the President, and
all assured him of the support of their
respective States In the national con?
vention There were no evidences
among other callers on the President |
that the Taft forces aro losing ground
by reason of tho talk of ex-Prealdenl
Roosevelt. Most of the Taft poople
who vvero seen during the day ex?
pressed the belief that In the ups and
downs of politics, the Roosevelt boom
will subside in a few days.
Voice of a Progressive.
One of the President's visitors dur?
ing the day was Lawrence K. Langdon,
Republican iloor leader of the Ohio
Legislature nrnl known as a Progres?
sive, lie Is out for Taft, and. In speak- j
Ing of the nituation at the White House
to-day, said:
"Ohio Is for Taft. The claims of a j
handful o:' antl-Tafl people are so ex?
travagant as to carry tholr own refuta?
tion. The Ijs Pollotte movement sur?
rendered at tho first onslaught, and
the Invasion of Ohio by a bunch of
alien lire brands is now being bitterly
resented.
"Mr. Roosevelt is taken at his word
in Ohio, and is not regarded as a can?
didate. The full strength of Mr. Tnft's;
iirpport will become more evident from
now on. and he la assured of a unani?
mous delegation to the Chicago con?
vention from his home State."
Hum I'nlltlelnnH Onessiua.
At the Capitol to-day Republicans
and Democrats alike woro far and
away more Interested in national poll
tics than In legislation. Recent and
approaching events in Republican and
Democratic, politics engrossed the at?
tention or statesmen, big and small?
politicians all.
The fortunes of all these representa?
tives and about one-third of the Sena?
tors aro hound up In the coming na?
tional campaign. The members of tho
lower hotiRo depend upon the presiden?
tial ticket to carry their local tickets
through, so there Is more or less of
utter selfishness In lh-> 'political con?
siderations of these men.
For a certainty, Roosuvelt "has 'om
guessing." The colonel's alleged pen?
chant for the limelight Is surely being
gratllled now. In addition to enjoying
the centre of tho political stage, he
has the added relish of posing ag an
onlgma. They "enn't gat his number,"
they plaintively wall.
Sold to lie Hiding Hin Time.
Some uneasiness hnn been caused the
President's friends In Congress by the
mysterious recurrence of suggestions
and rumors, the source of which can?
not ho found, that Roosevelt Is hiding
his time for the possible withdrawal of
Taft from, the candidacy for renomlliH
tlnn. They do not like the fact that
thnsp reports cling most tenaciously In
tho vicinity of Oyster Bay.
Why did Colonel Rons? voll think it
necessary to express ills disbelief in
th? humor that TaCl would withdraw?

Taft was considering withdrawal?
Why is the colonel reported as Insinuat?
ing that perhup., the health of the
President's famiiy might cause him
such anxiety us to lead him to with?
draw? These and similar questions
were discussed by Republicans to-day.
The President's friends wore Indig?
nantly emphatic. In their refutation of
all Insinuations that ?Taft may with?
draw, und said their entertainment by
any ono could be explained only on
the ground that the wish was father
to the thought. They pointed out that
It would be stultlflcntlon of the most
odious kind for Taft to Indloate that
he would withdraw If Roosevelt would
agree to run.
Dcnounccd aa Monatrons.
Such a suggestion, they declared,
would carry with It Implication that
the presidential nomination was a per?
sonal perquisite of Theodore Roosevelt
and William H. Taft, to be handod back
and forth to suit their convenience: to
be entailed at the pleasure of these
two. Such a proposition they de?
nounced as monstrous and one which
would infuriate voters of all parties
throughout the country. Mnrcovor and
finally, th*y declared. It was unthink?
able thnt William H. Taft could con?
template it.
There are politicians in Congress
who. believing that Roosevelt might
carry the party to victory, aiv willing
to sink their political dislike and deep
