NEW YORK LETTER
Some one has said that foreigner:
were loosing their love for Ame-ricer
politics. Such is'Jnot the case in New
York if we may judge of Mayor Vat
Wyck’s official family. We find among
the most important members thI
names of Whalen, York, Holahan
Clausen, McCartney, Feitner, Straus
Nat-1c, and in minor positions the 0’s
the Macs and the Vans almost with-
out number. Croker’s plans for playing
an active and important part in nation-
al politics during the next three year:
are developing rapidly. He has gone
to w01k with all of his old-time energy
and cunning to make the renomina
tion of W. J. B1 yan by the next Demo-
oiatic National Convention an impos
sibility. Croker believes that the Dem
ocratic party can elect the next Presi~
dent on a platform less radical than
the Chicago prod-notion if a strong and
conseivative candidate is nomin wted
He rega1 d-s Bryan as a weak man ans
weaker candidate.
Mr. Croker was in Europe > all
through the campaign of 1896. He re
turned a few weeks after the election
A number of his political friends and
several reporters met him down the
bay, and had a long talk with him
while the ship was coming up to thg
- city. He asked many questions about
the campaign, and seemed especially
interested in‘ Mark Hanna and Bryan
When told that the Boy Orator had
turned lecturer Mr. Cro-ker smiled, anc
said, quietly but firmly: “That will hi
the end of him in politics. He has
talked too much already.” '
The Forty-Second Street Reservoir.
The water has been let out from its
enclosures,the night guard has been
withdrawn from its parapet, by othei
channels the floods of the aqueduct~
seek the down-town district, and thc
old Bryant Park Reservoir at 42nd
street, its occupation gone and its glory
soon to depart, has been surrendered
to the Park Board for demolition. The
twelvemont-h that saw the grim Egypt
tian front of the Tombs taken down
stone by stone, will see the even stern
er majesty of this other Egyptian land
mark of the old New York banishec
by the unreverencing hand of change.
The reservoir was completed in 1842
at a c0st of about $500,000, and the cor
emony of letting the water into it wa‘.
celebrated on Independence Day of the»
year. A salute of forty-one guns wa:
fired at sunrise, one gun for every mile
between Croton River and the reser-
voir. In the civic and military parade
15,000 persons marched.
When the reservoir was first con-
structed complaint was made that it
was too far away from the main popu-
lation of the town. But in the hall
century the town has pushed far be.
yond it, and it is now near the center
of the district which includes the clubs
the churches, the great hotels, the no-
ted restaurants and some of the .mosl
ornate private residences. The library
which will succeed it will be more ad
vantageo-usly located than the Astor 01
the Lenox, and will fill that place in
the wants of the immediate neighbor-
hood which the removal of the Colum-
bia Library to Morningside Heights
has made.
Starving in New York.
genius came close. to starvation in the
great city of New York last week. Both
are educated, both talented, both an
energetic. The tragedy developed in
six weeks. - , . .
“I came here from Montreal,” said
Mr. Barry. “My wife had been here
two weeks and confidently expected a
theatrical engagement. I am an expen
accountant and have never found it
difficult to get employment hitherto.
“We have walked these streets 01
New York all day on our different er-
rands to save car fare. I have walked
across and up and down and back
home again. My wife has walked too
And then we came home at night to
look to each other for comfort, but we
wouldn’t give way. Neither wanted tc
break the other’s courage. '
“But our money gave out and we had
to let our position be known."
The newspaper stories brought the
Barrys no end of sympathy. Mr. Bar-
ry {has gained a good position, and Mrs
Barry is likely to do the same as she
has had several offers. Letters pourec
in on them from people who wanted to
help. One man, a street-car conductor,
came with a basket his wife had pre-
pared with home goodies-two stuffed
chickens, home-made bread, fresh but.
ifter and jelly. The conductor said he
had “been there himself.”
“People have been awfully kind,’
said Mrs. Barry with tears in her eyes.
“And it is not so much what they did
as .the kind way they did it. This ex-
perience has taught us both that the
world is full of kind hearts if one can
only reach them.” CYRUS THORP.

The Rev. Mr. Wilson, of Ramona.

’re«;uent trips made into that neighbor-
10011 by traveling ministers who hadn’t
grcviously been warned of the unsual
:ouglxncss of the majority of its citi-
ceils. so that these stray visits were
lever repeated by the same clergy-
nan.
But the citizens of Ramona have
learly all experienced a change of

Irdinary traveling preacher that the
Elev. \Ir. Wilson first ventured into

be whole talk of the town was about
be big prize-fight between Corbett and
{.anky Bob, and when Mr. Wilson
:ried to get a crowd together for a
'irayer-meeting they only broke up into
mots to talk about the fight.
This gave the daring young minister
'In idea and he at once set about 86‘

BRITISH GOVERNMENT AID
It W'arns Contractors That Statements to
the Effect That England Favors Spain
Are Altogether IUnfounIded—Sagasta’s
Efforts to Purchase Vesécls Frustrated.
London, Feb. 7.—Now that time and
Opportunity for reflection have been al-
lowed by a. temporary cessation of the
patriotic and bellicose statements
which, since the wreck of the Maine,
have been the chief feature of the spe-
cial cable dispatches from the United
States, Englishmen are beginning to
realize the depth of the pro- -Cuban feel-
ing in the United States, with which
the thoughtful element here cordially
sympathizes, although they still be-
lieve the Maine inquiry will absolve
Spain from complicity in the disaster
An impression, almost amounting to
conviction, prevails that public opin—
ion will compel the Government of the
United States to acknowledge the Cu-
bans as belligerents and to intervene
in Cuba. '
The very calmness and patience of
the people of the United States tend to
confirm the conviction here that Amer-
icans have become aware that their
government is preparing to satisfy the
country’s aspirations when the auspic—
ious moment arrives. Every one in this
country acknowledges the dignity and
self-possession with which the Cabinet
of President McKinley have been han-
dling this most difficult affair, and this
attitude of the United States Govern-
ment has had agreat effect in influ-
encing opinion on this side of the At-
lantic.
The Americans in London express
themselves as being much gratified at
the friendly attitude which the Brit-
ish Government has evidenced toward
the United States. By the advice of
the British Government ship builders
and dealers in munitions of war here
insist, practically, upon cash pay-~
ments in the case of all orders booked
by Spain. It seems that the Spanish
Embassy, when bargaining with the
ship building and other firms, indirect-
ly suggested that Great Britain sym-
pathizes with Spain. This coming to
the ears of the British Government the
latter lost no time in correcting any
such impression with the leading firms
which is in the habit of doing govern-
ment work. _,
Another rumor which has decidedly
pleased the Americans here has it that
the United States Government has suc-
ceeded in obtaining complete plans of
the principal Spanish harbors and their
defenses.
In short, both Ameiicans and Eng-
lishmen in this city have about con-
cluded that the present calm has been
brought about by President McKinley
in order to allow the completion of
preparations for defense and for pos-
sible initiative action and few people
here will'be sorry when a. decision is
reached and the long standing—tension
is ended.
Operators on the Stock Exchange are
inclined to leave American securities
alone until the crisis is settled. They-
burned their fingers during the past
week, the net result of the seesaw
movement being that London lost con-_
siderably to New York, and, although
there is no doubt as to the final out—
come, should war result, it is feared
the struggle will cause the trade of
the United States to suffer severely,
hence London purchasers at present
are not likely to Ibe‘ap'preciable.
An exemplification of the feeling here
is contained in a Icing article publish-
After compliment-
ing President McKinley, “whose pow-
ers are perhaps greater than those of
an European sovereign,” upon having
exhibited “admirable firmness of char—
acter and independence of judgment,”
the Statist points out that “however
strong the President may be, he has
finally to obey the will of the people.”
Continuing, the Statist says:
“It would be the gravest mistake to
suppose that because the jingoes, who
have discredited themselves by reck-
less charges. which‘ they were unable
to substantiate, have failed to move
the President, that public sympathy
for the Cubans, which is very real and
very uidespxcad will also fail. ”
Commenting upon the financial as-
pect of the situatidn, the same paper
remarks:
“The withdrawal of gold for New
York at this season of the ”year is
noteworthy.”
The Statist gathers therefrom a cor-
robdration of the belief that “most of
the late speculation in American secur-
ities has been conducted by the United
States and financed by New York
banks, hence the latter are :1-.. In no
position to part with much“ money "to
the agricultural districts without call- 1
ing loans.” Another circumstance has
powerfully contributed 'to the strin-
gency. If there should be war, the ex-
penditure will be upon an enormous
scale, and the Government will have to
borrow immense sums to meet this
enormous expenditure. It is not sur-
, prising, therefore, if the banks are tak-
ing precautions, and are increasing
their holdingsof gold.”
The Spectator believes, that both
Washington and Madrid “expect war.
without desiring it," that "both are
arming" as rapidly,as they can." and
that “both are cogitating upon possible
alliances,” Spain with France and
Russia and America with'Japan whu h
wants the Philippine Islands and (.._ I. ml
double the American fleet at a 16:.
hours’ notice if Russia permitted
The Spectator continues: “Great ef-
forts are5being made on both sides to
gain tin-1e, by.IPresident McKinley be-
cause the arsenals‘are not full. and. by
Premier - Sagasta, because he must
elect. a. morally obedient Parliament.
The French Foreign Office, dreading-a
financial crash in Paris, is suggesting
mediation; but it will in the end make
a mistake in threatening a people. who,
at heart, belie\ e there is nothing strong
in Europe except Great Britain. "

STARVlNG CUBANS FED .4 "
U. S. Consul Hyatt Tells- of the Relief
Wot-k Being Done at Santiago. de Cuba. ’
' New York, Marchp7.—United States
Cons-1:1 Hyatt writes'from his post at
Santjogo de Cuba to the New York
Cami-.21 ‘Relief Committee as follows:
, “I desire to make a brief report of
the first four days’ work in distributing
the food and medicine which I received
in due time by steamship Niagara. As
stated in a. previous communication,
acommittee of thirty of the best ladies
of the place divided the city into fifteen
districts, with two ladies to each dis-
trict. These issued ration tickets ac-
cording. to the number of needy, persons
in each house. These tickets are hon-
ored under the direction of a. commit-
tee of gentlemen and myself, and a
liberal weeks rations are issued to each.
To prevent imposition we are obliged
to refuse all who do not come With
tickets from the ladies.
“The first day’s rations were issued
to 379; second day, 577; third day, 1,083;
fourth day, 1,027; total, 3,066. Each ra-
tion being for seven days makes a to-
tal of 21,462 for one day.
“As near as I can judge only about
one—half of the people who need help
have yet received their first rations,
and the codfish and beans will give out
before we get around the first time. I
have given moderate quantities to the
eleemosynary institutions of the city,
and sent some to the mining and other
towns near by. We are trying to make
both food and medicine do 'the most
good possible. It takes six or eight po-
licemen to keep the crowds in order.
“I am obliged to spend some money
for labor, cartage, transportation,
cables, incidentals, etc. There are nu-
merous people badly ruptured and in
a distressed condition. I am skilled in
handling trusses, but I hardly think it
advisable to send trusses, as each case
ne‘edsastock to select from. Iwould‘not
advise sending any more medicine ex-
cept quinine for the present. Every-
thing sent has been of superior quality.
The medicines have had almost mirac-
ulous effects. Should you make further
shipments keep beans, rice and codfish
in the foreground, but: everything
comes in play.
“Smallpox has again broken out, and
I have requested Surgeon-General Wy-
man to send to you for'me a. quantity
of vaccine virus. Should it not come
to hand I will thank you to furnish me
with a moderate quantity."
GARY INCREASES REWARD.

City’s Negro Postmaster.
Washington , March 7.—Postmaster-
General Gary has issued the following
circular offering a reward of $1, 500 for
the arrest and conviction of each per-
son who participated in the murder of
PostmaSter Baker at Lake City, S. C.,
on the night of February 21:

oflice at Lake City, S. C., on the night
of February 21, 1898, is hereby renewed
and the special award of $500 for the
arrest and conviction of the person or
persons who murdered the postmaster
hereby increased to $1, 500 for the a1-
rest and conviction of each person who
participated in said murde1.
These rewards will be paid to the
person causing such arrests and con-
viction upon presentation. to the de-
partment of satisfactory documentary
proof thereof, but no claim‘ for the
above rewards will be entertained by
the department unless presented within
six months from the date of convic-
tion.”
W'ant Mr. Wanamaker’s Answer.
Philadelphia, March 7.———A committee
of the Business Men’s League, which
several weeks ago adopted a. resolution
requesting John Wanamaker to allow
the use of his name as the anti-Quay
candidate for Governor, had a. confer—
ence with Mr. Wanamaker here Satur-
day. The committee consisted of Presi-
dent Elias Deemer, of Williamsport;
Robert J. Morehead, of Northeast, and
John G. McAskie, of Scranton. Upon
conclusion of the conference Mr. Deem-
er stated that Mr. ‘Wanamaker would
give his definite reply to the League
to- day or to- mor row. Mr. Deemer said
that while Mr. Wanamaker did not
commit himself, he (Deemer) was of
the opinion that he would accept the!
League’s request and become a candi-
date for Governor.

“I am an old time engineer and like
a. great many men who followedi my
calling the weak spot in my anatomy is
my back, probably caused by becoming
over-heated in a warm atmosphere aLd
then expose to cold. Be that as it may
I had considerable trouble with my
kidneys and although I used simple
household remedies and on one or two
occasions took medicine, I was never
able to completely rid myself of at
tacks. Reading about the wor per-
formed by Doan’ s Kidney Pills in and
around the Norwalks, 1 came to the,
conclusion they might help me and pro-
curing a'supply I commenced the treat-
ment. After cOmpleting it I was so
greatly improved in my general health
that I conscientiously endorSe Doan’s

CHEATING BUTTERFLIES.
When They Have Mistaken. Ai'tlfiicial
Flowers for the Natural.
Some most remarkable instances of
the erring of instinct among insects
have frequently been noted among
naturalists, and they add an interesting
chapter to the physiology of sense. One
of these was the case of a butterfly,
which persisted in visiting the artifi-
cial flowers on a lady’s bonnet, mis-
taking them for the natural product.
Another, and perhaps more striking in-
stance of fault is noted by the distin-
guished French entomologist, M. R.
Blanchard, and concerns a species of
Sphinx moth, which entered a hotel
room in the half obscurity of early '
morning, and was found to flit with
direct intent to definite parts of” the
walls and ceiling. These were decora-
ted with paintings of leaves and flow-
ers, and to the.1atter the insect. ap-
proached in repeated attacks, thrusting
forward its proboscis as though intent
upon intruding it into the open cups of
the beguiling flowers. After repeated
failures and the resulting discourage-
ment, the eifort was given up, and the
sphinx escaped by the Window. This
case of self—deception ls interesting in
another way, inasmuch as it proves
that it is not always the sense of smell,
but at times that of sight, which di-
rects insects to their flowers.
A Conlplimont for the Bishop.
I“The natives of Mount Desert Isl-
Ind,” ' says the Syracuse Standard,
‘have acquired the habit of naming
rhildren after some of the notable
summer visitors who pass the season
11 their beautiful villages.‘ Bishop
Donne. of Albany, is the most notable
igure in Northeast Harbor in summer,
1nd one day last year the venerable
Bishop met a group of romping boys,
whose faces were strange to‘him, and .
:Ie stopped them with a kindly greet-1
ng and asked each his name. They
and all answered but one bright-eyed
little lad, who "stood with his curly
aend thrown proudly back and his
aands down deep in his knickcrbock-
ers. -
“ ‘And what might your name be,
my little fellow?’ said the Bishop. with
I gracious smile.
“,‘My name,’_replied the little fellow,
with an air of great importance, ‘is
Bishop Deane.” And laughingly pat-
ting the boy’s head, the Bishop of Al-
zany passed on,,smiling to himself.”
