AN “ EASY Boss."
Hon. 1'. c. Flatt, manipulator or Bepubli
~ . can Politics in New York.
. If there were ever any question in the
York that the Hon. Thomas C Platt
was not a Boss, and in full and complete
control of the political situation of the
Empire State, the delusion mustihave
been dispelled at the Saratoga conven-
tion of 1896. ’Mr. Platt has often been
quoted to the effect that he was a
Boss, but he qualified the assertions
anEasy Boss. And he still further ad—
mits that'he rather be Boss than gov-
ernor. .
For some time the Hon. Warner
Miller has been fighting Mr. Flatt. He
went to the last convention upon a con-
testing delegation, and was unceremo-
niously turned down by the committee
ofiwhich the Hon. John Raines of ex-
clse’fame was chairman. He then en-
deavored to address the delegates, but
they wouldn’t have it and raised such a
r diet as to entirely drown his voice.
a kept the floor, however, mm the
is no knowing how long the Apollo of
Herkimer would have defied his tor~
mentors, had not Mr. Platt magnani-
mously asked that he be heard. Quiet
was restored as if by magic, and Mr.
Miller spoke his piece.
HON. THOMAS C. PLATT.
There were several gentlemen aspir-
ing for gubernatorial honors at this con-
vention, but their strength was so di-
vided and held that none of them could
obtain the coveted prize. In their emer-
gency they were forced to realize their
ownhelplessnesshand instinctively they
turned to Mr. Platt. But he was dumb.
Then {they plead that he take the nom-
ination, and thus relieve the situation.
They laid down as one man and be-
sou-ght the chief to run, swearing,
though, that they would not give in to
one another. It was at this point that
Mr. Plat-t frankly said he rather be
Boss than governor. It is held in some
quarters that Mr. Blatt foresaw some
things that it was not given to the oth-
ers to discern. It is said he saw over
and above the heads of the-struggling
mass of candidates a genius, . whose
nomination, if accomplished, would
end the bickering that had been engen-
dered during the preliminary strife,
and at the same time convince any
among the aspirants who had been in-
clined to kick, that a mariner was at
the helm, and ‘his power to do and undo,
to make famous or to consign to ob-
livion, was for all purposes and intents
of pelitics, supreme.
Mr. Black, of Troy, was nominated.
Mr. Black is said by his admirers to
be a Second Lincoln.
SCHEMING INSECTS AND FISHES.
Skillful Means They Use to Dcceive Ene-
mies Wh'o Attack Them.
Of creatures inhabiting the land the
bombardier beetle certainly has the
queerest means of defense. When
pursued by an enemy he discharges
an extremely volatile fluid which, is
secreted by special glands, and which
has the curious property of turning
into a cloud of light bluish smoke.
some say that this smoke blinds the
pursuer for a time; others say it only
confuses him.» If the first discharge
is insufficient, the bombardier can re-
peat it as many as twenty times, but
he usually escapes before carrying the
bombardment to its length, says the
Philadelphia Press.
0f sea creatures. the globe fish, or
puffer, uses the most extraordinary
means for protecting himself against
or escaping from his foe. In a quies-
cent state his body is somewhat thick
and flattened on the under side. As
for a. good-sizedenemy, but when he
finds that he is about to "be seized be
such, he would make a nice mouthful
pumps water into himself until he
swells out into agibbe from 12 to. 15
inches in diameter, and at the same
time erects a multitude of short, sharp
spikes, and so becomes a very awk-
ward mouthful. Sometimes, even in
this state, he gets within the jaws of
denly collapses to his original size
and swims out. leaving the; jaws to
close on nothing. .
The Pay of Composers and Singers.
The history of music shows that as
a rule composers barely earned
enough to pay for their daily bread,
while the singers who interpreted their
works revelled in wealth. Even Wag-
ner received only $800 for the score
of “Tristan, and Isolde,” which it
took him several years to'write, W'hile
Jean de Rezke gets twice that amount
each time he sings in it. It is there-
poser should provide for singers, as
Verdi has done'ih Milan.‘ He lately
viisted that [city and deposited $80,-
000 towards building an «asylum for
aged and .invalid stpge artists. It is
to be located near the Porta‘Magenta.
“Cllhe singers," says Verdi, “helped me
to win my fortune: to them, there-
fore, in the first place, I wish .to dedi-
cate it.” . ~

IT WAS NECKTIES THIS TIME.
The Man \Vith the Silk not and Diamond
Pin 'Caught the 'Dan sville Crowd.
On Tuesday 'the‘ man with the silk
nat, diamo’nd pin, monumental gall and
oily tongue was in Danville, says the
‘Breeze, and announced his arrival by
hiring a hack of Joe McNeil and driv-
ing up Main street with a snake en-
twined about his neck. Of course the
snake was a fake, same as all his other
doings were. Well, he hauled up at the
Hyland House corner and sold a few
quarters for 15 cents same as all his
predecessors have done, and after a
while got down to business. His bait
was not soap nor electric belts, but
neckties. When he began, to offer them
for sale the scheme looked so stale, and
threadbare, and ancient that nobody
expected .he would catch a single suck-
er. But he knew better. He would
pick up a big wad of bills and then lay
them down again,and thenofferforsale
a necktie. The crowd thought that
somehow one of the bills had stuck
fast to the necktie, 'so he had no trouble
in selling lots of them at ,50 cents each
though be repeatedly told them that.
they were cheap cotton things not
worth a cent. They wouldn’t believe
him, however, but' insisted on buying
them. They were not all country fel-
lows either, though occasionally one of
that class bit, but they were men who
live right here in town, who have to
work for a living, who have hard
_'work to make both ends meet, and
some of their names appear on the
wrong side of every. ledger in town.
Men, who if you should present your
bill to them would swear up hill and
down that they didn’t have a cent.
And yet they bought these ties and
paid half a dollar for them, and then
stood where the faker told them to,
‘ and put the tie in their pocket without
examining it, as he toldthem to, and
would have been there yet if he had
said so, and the rain hadn’t begun to
fall, and driven the salesman under
cover.
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
This Lady Got} It, but Then Was Not at
All Satisfied.
An amusing rebuke was recently ad-
ministered in England to one of those
sharp bar-gainers who are always on
the alert'to get more than their money’s
worth. The offender in the pr ent in-
stance was a woman, who sent‘iie fol-
lowing advertisement to a London
paper: ‘
“A lady in delicate health wishes to
meet with a useful companion. She
must be domestic, musical, an early
riser, amiable, of good appearance and
have some experience in nursing. A
total abstainer preferred. Comforta-
ble home. Nosalary.”
A few days afterward the advertiser
received by express a basket labelled:
“This side up—with care—perishable."
‘On opening it she found a tabby cat,
With a letter tied to its tail.
thus:
“Madam—In response to your; adver-
tisement, I'am happy to furnish you
with very useful companion,whichyou
will find exactly suited toyourrequire-
ments. She is domestic, a good vocal-
ist, an early riser, possesses an amia-
ble disposition and is considered hand-
some. She has had a great experience
as a. nurse, having brought up a large
family. I nee-d scarcely add that she
is a total abstainer. As salary is no
object to her, she, will serve you faith-
fully. in return for a comfortable
home.”—Youth’s Companion.
A \Vishing Party.
The street urchins sat on an aban-
doned stake wagon which ornamented
a vacant lot on South Third street.
The conversation had been mainly di-
rected to a discussion of base ball.
There was a lull for a few moments,
then the smallest of the quartet spoke
up: — ~
“Say, fellers, what would youse rad-
der be dan anything else?” ,
This sort of an inquiry was rather
out of the ordinary line of stake wagon
talk, but the other three seemed in a
good humor to answer, and Jimmie, the
Mope, spoke first.
“I’d radder_ be a dorg,” he said,
“’cause I wouldn’t have to wear no
clothes and I could spen’ me whole
time chasin’ cats.” . '
“Dat’s a fine kine of a wish, I mus’
say,” Mickey Moran, the toughest boy.
in the neighborhood, was the one who
spoke now. “Wat’s de matter wid- be-
ing a woming, so’s you could stay
home all day an’ bake cakes, an’ pies,
an’ eat ’em yourself?” ,
This conception of Mickey’s pleased
the crowd highly. Then the urchin
who proposed the wishing business be
. | '. [~-
_ “I. wish’t I was a cop. Dey don’t
do nuthin’ but ride on-street cars free
an’ swipe peanuts.” But just then the
policeman on the beat appeared and a
second later the stake wagon was un-
occupied—St. Louis Republic.

_ HUGHES! sonar rLIenr.
Accused of Having Tried to Rob Bil
Sweetheart’s Father's ,Bouse. -
PERTH ‘AMBOY, N. 1., Sept. l7.—Charles
Hughes, well known in society circles, is,
under arrest charged with burglary, on 5.
Warrant issued by Justice ,Ford. He is ac-
cused of~ breaking into Charles White-
.bead’s residence at South River. .
He lived here when'a boy and when he
came here several months ago to spend the
summer he was well received by the-so-
ciety people of the city. ' Hepwas remem-
bered as a member of Simps‘on, M.E. Sun-
day school, and his family, also spending
the summer here, is connected with that
of a Well known Methodist preacher.
Young Hughes was taken to New Bruns-
wick today for a hearing. He was accom-
panied by former City Comptroller J. S.
Loder, his brother-in-law, who will fur-
nish bonds for him, and it is probable that
Hughes will be released.
A prominent young society man, who is
a friend of Hughes, said Whitehead has
objected to Hughes paying attention to his
daughter. -This friend says that Hughes
and the young lady were at an evening
picnic in New Brunswick Saturday night,
and when Hughes was seen getting away
from the house it is probable that he had
just lett'his sweetheart.
Hughes was. back in New Brunswick by”
midnight, his friends say, and they are
confident that the charge of burglary can-
not be sustained. " *
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept- 17.—
Young Hughes was brought to- the county
jail, in this city, from Perth Amboy, to—
day to await an examination.
that he tried to break into the Whitehead
house. George Applegate, who was in the
Whitehead house Saturday night, has posi-
ilvely identified young Hughes as being the
man who tried to force his way into the
house. ,A knife was also found about the
premises which bore his initials, and this
will be used against him._ .
