CROKER NOT AFRAID.
Says He Will Appear Before The Lexow Com
mittee II Wanted.

New YORK, June 1S-The New York
World has received from it's London cor
respondent an interview with Richard
Croker. who is alleged to have fed from
New York for fear Of being called before
the LeXow police investigation. Croker
laid:
Il made up my mind some time ago to
see this years great races in England and
France. intended leaving New York in
time to stop over at Queenstown to see
my uncle and visit other relatives, as well
as to renew associations with my old
land"
On being asked if. in case the Lexow
committee should summon him, he
would return to New York, he said: "Of
course I will. What's the use of the
papers wasting space in saying I won't,
when those who have anything to do with
the committee know that am ut their
disposal whenever they ask me'"
In answer to question, Croker stated
unqualifiedly that he was out of politics
and out of Tammany Hall forever.
DR.. Parkhurst, VINO only reached Lon
don Friday. was interviewed by New
York Herald correspondent, by whom he
was acquainted with Croker's departure
from New York.
II consider his fight good thing"
said DIR. Parkhurst. 'He runs away
while under fire. This shows that the
fire has been heavy. He realizes that he
has got about as much plumber as he can.
He thinks it time to quit before the ship
sinks.
Croker Was Terrified
at the idea of being cross examined by the
Lexow committee in regard to the revela-
tions connected with the police. Shrewd
and silent as he is. the most damning
confessions would have been wrung from
him during a weeks misery % witness"
who will be the boss of New York
now that Croker is gomez" was asked.
1.-THE impression is that New York with
out n boss is like ship without a rud-
der"
1--WE don't want BOSSES" replied DR..
Parkhurst vehemently. People are tired
of them. However, it would be much bet
ter to have Il Democratic boss than Re-
publican one. Even Croker is better than
Platt 1t is always safer to have boss
entirely devoid of moral sense than boss
with only just Il little moral sense"
Would woman suffrage clear the polit-
ical atmosphere in American"
Hang woman suffrage! 1t would
Make the Situation Worse.
The better class Of men won't vote;
neither would the better class of women.
All the saloon element, bad men and ward
heelers. would make their wives vote.
As a result an organization like Tam
many would have bigger majorities than
ever

Mr.. Dixon'S Comment.

NEW YORK. June ls.-Richard Croker
and his sudden departure for Europe
formed the prelude to Rev. Thomas
Dixon's sermon yesterday. The preacher
said there was something in it analogous
to the determination of Tweed to spend a
holiday in Europe at the time the storm
broke about his head and prevented the
contamination of his purpose. The diff
ference was that Croker had successfully
carried out lis scheme.

PATRIOTIC HUB FOLKS.
They Celebrate The Anniversary Of the Battle
Of Bunker Hill.

the celebration of its own peculiar holt
day bright and early. A good part Of
Boston was on hand to aid. When the
midnight hour was sounded by the
Bunker Hill clocks, the enthusiasm which
had been withheld all day was let forth
unrestrained. Banquets, with informal
exercises. were the order in most cases.
The celebration was prosecuted with
vigor, and the merry fire. crackers and all
the accompanying noise producers were
kept busily employed.
The committee having the celebration
in charge. met with the heartiest co-opera-
ton from the citizens in general, while
many Of the neighboring., cities and
towns lent their aid in making the day
one long to be remembered.
AS the sun rose the ether was shivered
by the lannon's roar and the peal of IRON
t0ngued bells. When the people rose
from their imitation sleep it was to find
their district almost completely canopied
with the inspiring colors of the national
emblem.
The first regular feature of the days
festivities was the parade of the carnival
association. The display eclipsed all pre-
vious efforts Of this active organization.
The morning procession moved at 8
O'Clock and was in three divisions. The
features were as follows:
Features of the Parade
Heroes of Bunker Hill, Popular Songs
p rsrniiied. After The Ball, Womans
Rights Triumphant, Minute Men of rs
and Minute Men of the Future. Upper
Ten and Lower Five, Childhood and New
Year, Springtime, Youth. Summer,
Maturity, Autumn, Age, Winter. Van
garian Guard, The COLLINS. Boston Cadet
Field Band; Living Dominoes, Coxey's
Army, the Suffolk Band; Schoolboys of
Other Days, Trials and Tribulatons of
Married Men, Priority Phunny Phellows.
An interesting feature of the procession
was delegation of young patriots, bona
fide descendants of revolutionary heroes;
also a battalion of boys. who went
through various military evolutions dur
ing the parade.
The parade was followed by n banquet
in the Waverley house, at which Presi-
dent Carter presided. Speeches were
made by prominent city and state
officials.
Bands aud drum corps were literally
sprinkled throughout the column.
The following organizations partici-
pated in the second parade: United
States marine corps; First brigade signal
corps; companies a. and IL, Fifth regi-
ment; company ID, Ninth regiment;
Charlestown Veteran Volunteer Fire
mems association; Boston letter carriers;

On Wednesday evening last Albert

Kadesh held its regular meeting and
conferred the degrees from IS TO % in
elusive, on candidate, but owing TO
the time which would further be re-
qulred TO confer the 30 degree and the
lodge room being rather warm, the de-
gree was deferred until next Tuesday
evening, when a special will be held for
that purpose. Bro. James McCahon,
the presiding officer, was at his post
and did the work, aided by corps OF
good workers.
On Friday evening the officers OF
Wheeling Union Chapter held class OF
instruction, and at the next convocation
we think they will surprise the compan-
ions Of the Chapter by the manner in
which they have learned TO do their

would, however, induce "Darky" to re-

that was quite enough for him.
