MEN AND MATTERS or THE DAY.

For the next three weeks the pulpit OF Trinity Dap
list Church, In East Fifty fifth-st near Lexington
ave-, will hold long, straight, spare, sandy haired
man, with angular features, square Jaw, square
chin and square shoulders, flowing terracotta
mustache that curves as beautifully the horns Of
Texas steer, and squirting eyes that lose much Of
their magnetism behind gold-rimmcd spcctaces. lie
parts his hair low down the left side and plasters
his bangs to broad forehead. His voice Is mellow,
resonant farreachng and he talks straight from the
shoulder as Jake Kilran. His name Is Samuel ".
Small Sam Small, he prefers to be called other

has como here by invitation TO revive the religious
enthusiasm Of the wicked metropolis. The reaction
and dependency that have set in since the Clcve-

Harrison was viewed in the South with apprehension,
but that feeling has already begun to pass away
Henry W. Grady may be the next United states
Senator from Georgia, Notwithstanding his positive
declaration that he Is not candidate. The election
comes of to-day. The young blood OF the state has
been crying for Grady since the election Of Gen
era Harrison to the Presidency. Colqutt has become
very unpopular with men Of advanced ideas and
liberal views He is too offensive partisan and has
made numberless mistakes In distributing patronage
Grady Is not a partisan TO an offensive degree al
though Of necessity partisan. His acquaintances say
that he is too lazy to be offensive. Mr.. Small says
that Southern Republicans expect to see Malone In
President Harrison's Cabinet Postmaster-General
and Gon of West Virginia Attorney General. The
common belief down South Is that the Democrats car
red Virginia after the election They trying to
do the same with West Virginia few honest Demo

rson will undertake TO break the Solid South through
Malone and Golf. Mr. Small believes that both the
yirgias North Carolina Tennessee AID Florida will
soon be counted in the Republican column.

posal to license jockeys, he said s" am heartily IN
favor OF such STEP and there excellent reasons
why It should be taken. Very often, while sitting
in the judges stand watching a race, have felt
convinced that such and such a Jockey was not
doing his whole duty. Whether he was pulling his
horse interfering with some other Jockeys mount
or doing something else that he ought not to do
could not tell. The progress Of race is so rapid
the changes of position usually so quick that
the eye cannot be sure OF seeing what II appears
to see. Though certain OF fraud somewhere, could
not say positively where It lay and rather than
accuse Jockey wrongfully have often passed over
actions that aroused my suspicious. Under the
present no-hcense system, in order to correct
Jockey a specific charge OF fraud must be brought
against him. or he may be ruled Off arbitrarily,
which amounts practically TO the same thing If
jockeys required to get license every, year,
the fear OF having that license refused "oIa Keep

The rise in value of real estate uptown, especially
near the Park has been little less than fabulous.
The block bounded by Fifth and Madison aves and
seventy sixth and Seventy seventh sts facing the
Park was sold in 1910 for $4,000 After keeping
