Peaches are a tonic, an aperlent, Q
fcud and a drink combined; or, to put
1t briefly. they are meat and medicine.
A good meal may be made on cut
peaches, with snga- and cream, bread
and butter. After a meal of this vari-

he or she indulged in heavy foods.
Peaches are good before breakfast and
after dinner; they are good for the d.
gestion, good for the blood and good for
the complexion. Some people eat them
without cream or sugar and with good
results. TIE fruit Is so rich in sugar
and acid that 1t preserves its flavor .

TWO QUESTIONS.

The politicians are interested In the
question, Who Is to succeed Mr.. Richard
Croker as the leader Of Tammany Hall7
The people are interested in the question
whether any leader can change the char
acter of Tammany Hail and do away
with Crokerism in the methods OF the
organization.
The main objection to Tammany is
that while nominally representing De-
mocracy 1t Is in pra ctice the extreme
OF autocracy. While assuming to act
for the Democratic party as its guide It
In truth robs IL OF every Democratic
principle and strips 1t of every Demo-
cratic right
A hundred thousand Democrats In
Tammany as the rank and file would
not have n single voice in the shaping
of its policy. in the selection of Its cam
didates or in the distribution of its
spols That Is all the work OF its
leader or boss and his immediate coun-
Gil. Tweed and his cabinet controlled It..
Then Kelly and his advisers. Then Gro
ker and his original big Four" Each
| rulo In its turn Is absolute. Even the
members of committees and the cap
tains OF districts are the blind. abject
and unquestioning tools of the leader.
Every Tammany man knows this as well
as he knows his own name.
Can this be changed? 1t was not al
ways so. When Elijah Purdy. Bronson,
Ike Fowler. Lorenzo i. Shepherd, the
Schells and others were in control OF
the organization 1t was not boss-ridder
| and boss-ruled. The first man to try
personal boss-ship was Fernando Wood
but the organization he ruled was Mo.
zart Hall. the rival of Tammany. Hu.
bert o. Thompson was n boss In his
way. but he also handled an anti-Tam
many organization. the County Democ
racy.
Can any successor to Croker be found
who will put a stop to Tweedism. Kel
lylsm and Crokerism in Tammany, ant
manage the organization as II used tc
be managed, in a Democratic manner
and not as an autocrat: rs a leader anC
not as Car? II so. he would deserv,
well of the people, whether his nam,
happened to be Gilroy, Martin, Gran
or Purroy.

wEATHER-CoCK LEGISLATION.

No more striking illustration OF the
bunglng and vacillatlon OF politicians
has ever been presented to the people Of
New York than that supplied by the
weather-cock performances in connec-
ton with the construction of the new
Municipal Building.
The bill just made n law by the Gov
ernor's signature undoes all that has
been done by the Municipal Building
Commission since 1892. and the work has
to begin all over again. The prohibition
against the removal Of the old City Hall
destroys all the designs for a building
inside the park and again locates 1t on
an outside site. The question Of dam
ages will arise. and the chances are tina;
the city will have to pay roundly for the
freaks of the political tinkers. Besides
all idea OF the speedy prosecution of the
work as a relief for unemployed labor Is
now destroyed.
This legislation was the work OF sena'
tor Robertson, OF Westchester. 1t was
doubtless prompted by the belief that ar
Anti-Tammany Mayor may be In office
next year and have a chance at prom
Using Job.

A HUGE HUNK OF PET.

Tip the man-killing elephant at Cen
tral Park, has been sentenced by the
Park Board to die. and he will be exc
cuted in some way or other one OF these
bright mornings. His homicide record
has made him as attractive as II doomed
human murderer to the average hysteri-
cal female, and all sorts of pretty at
tentions have been heaped upon him
since 1t became known that an igno-
min,ous end awaited him. Flowers have
been sent to him. and he would have
one continual feast of strawberry short
cake and candied violets II the young
women who are interested in him had
their own way.

WOrkaday Lunches.

The afternoon is the longer half Of
the working day. To eat heavy meal
at noon. without being able to nap an
hour, is the mistake that too many
women make. Men don't count. Nature

quick digestive apparatus. If foods like

hours to digest, are eaten. the stomach

a piece Of well-done toast and half a pint

A New Sweetmeat.

Notwithstanding the toying with to-
bacco on the part of many would-be
smart women. the purer taste for whole
some sweetmeats shows no signs Of
diminution. Indeed. to Judge by the
supply of high class confectionery so
largely put before the public, the de-
mand seems to be increasing. Many
housewives. ladies' and young people,
and. indeed. all who own the soft i'm
peachment OF having "a sweet tooth

firm have invented new and delicious
sweetmeat, which they call Mania.

Ironing.

The secret Of easy. rapid and success
full ironing is to have the clothes well
and evenly dampened and the irons very
hot. The dampness prevents scorching,
and the hot iron smooths and poliehes
without the fatiguing bearing down and
repeated passes necessary with one
which does not hiss when touched with
the moistened finger. To bring out the
pattern Of embroideries lay down on Q
strip of thick blanket and iron on the
wrong side. If the newly washed sheets,
evenly folded, are laid one by one un-
der the smaller articles as they are
ironed. it will not be necessary to iron
them on their own account.

Sunday and Sabbath.


To the Editor:
correspondent IL perplexed on the question
OF why the nrst day Of the week 10 observed
as the Sabbath In the eyes Of Christian be-
lievers this is primarily because tho resurrection
Of Chrirt took place on the first day OF the
week, and that event opened up . new
dispensation and brought the end and fulnlment
OF the law It was considered eminsntly fitting
by the apostles and the early church that the
day should take the place Of the Jewish Sab
bath. careful perusal Of the gospels will
show several frequent references to the OBJ
servance OF the nrst day OF the week by Chris,
and his disciples. and this is considered by
Christians the best and sufficient reason why II
should be observed as day OF rest and worship
