CROKER SAW DEFEAT.
Politicians Say That Is the Secret
Of His Resignation.
Forced Into the Step TO Save
Waning Tammany.
Ex-Judge McQuade TO BE Elected
This Evening.

The Tammany programme. as exclu-
sively announced In The Evening
World" yesterday. will be carried out at
the meeting OF the Tammany General
Committee this evening. The form OF
accepting Croker's resignation, which
has already been accepted by the Exec
utivo Committee and the Committee on
Organization, will be gone through with
again and his successor as Chairman of
the Finance Committee named in the
person OF John McQuade.
The selection of McQuade Is said to
be n makeshift in the Interest OF the
Gilroy-Croker dynasty. McQuade has
no qualifications for the leadership OF
Tammany Hall, and will merely be
placed In the position OF Chairman of
the Finance Committee to guard the
financial secrets of the bosses.
Cookers abdication IL regarded to be
In Mayor Gilroy's favor. and although
he says II Is voluntary. II Is believed
that he was forced out. thrown over
board, in the hope OF saving the ship
from sinking.
In the opinion of shrewd political OBJ
servers, roker retirement, forced or
otherwise. Is n virtual acknowledgement
that Tammany sees defeat ahead.

POOR OLD COMFY.

Mayor Schieren. OF Brooklyn. yestcr-
day lighted his lantern and went on an
exploring expedition to his new BALI
wick OF Coney Island. He has made
some discoveries that ave doubtless ex-
cited his wonder, and has noted some
matters requiring prompt remedial at
t%entioiI. But what a change will come
over old Coney's dream II the Mayoralty
intentions are carried out.
One startling fact was developed. A
visit to the new police station. which
disclosed to Mayor Schicrcn that nc
provision whatever has been made In
the structure for prisoners. Under the
v%irtuous rule OF Mr.. McKane. now OF
Sing Sing. It was evidently the belief
hat II woul not be necessary to de-
prive anybody of his liberty.
In the old police station n cell was
found In which Col. Bacon had been
confined. and Its condition reminded the
Mayor OF "mediaeval times" and made
him sigh to think OF the sufferings the
gallant Colonel must have undergone.
The Mayor was shocked at the Bow
cry. He had never been there before,
and he came to the conclusion that II
:" should be obliterated as soon as pos,
sible.' since there Is NJ feature to com
mend II to any one who loves law and
decency." So the Bowery must go. and

THRIFTY OF HIS HUMOR.

Mr.. Frank Il. Stockton. who makes
his living by humor, In the curse OF
an address at the annual dinner of the
Authors Club last night got on moth
Ing new except the old joke about
authors not having to read each others
books. and how sweet life was to the
man of letters who could own a library
and look at its beautiful bindings with
a delightful consciousness that he did
not have to soil them for the purpose
OF getting at their contents.
OF course. we understand that Mr..
Stockton sells all his fun-it Is pretty
good fun, too-and 1t IL rather unreason-
able to expect him to give away Jokes
to fellow-authors who pay him nothing
for his annual dinner remarks; but when
n man of genius aspires to appear pleas
ant and happy In his %prandial patter, It
seems foolish and unfeeling for him to
20 back to the Herculaneum OF jokcry
and dig up such an old ava-incrustcd
gag as that which Is here quoted. WHY
didn't he try to disguise the dear oil
mummy OF merriment, by giving y ms
de-siecle twist to its toggery? Auti4Ie
jokes have to be ~up-to-dated now OF
they don't go
1t was really a shame for Mr.. Stockton
to disturb a debilitated bit of pleasantly
like this. 1t puts him ON II par with the
journalist al the Press Association din,
ner who ruthlessly drags out the with,
cred. time-srimed chunk OF p.rsItlaEt
about newspaper men living without eat
ing. and bureting their way through III,
on borrowed money.

One Hold of Conf n DIV.

When I hear that pieces of bread can.
not be toasted. nor the cup of soup be
warmed because the fire has just been
"fxed.' writes a woman in Household
News. I know that the cook has let the
fire burn down to the last bar of the
crate. and then It is necessary to put In
a bundle Of kindling and empty a whole
scuttle OF coal on the living embers. BY
such management much time Is lost
and much coal wasted. One hod OF coal
is sufficient to do the cooking for a good.
sized family in one day. II hot water

the fire should be raked morning and
night and the stove kept closed when
using and the upper ~draughts open when
the stove is not in use. so that the cold
air striking the Goals may prevent the
rapid burning.

NOW ~ACEPHAL0Us.

The resignation OF Mr.. Richard
Croker as leader OF the Tammany DO
mocracy was formally rendered and ac-
cepted yesterday, n nominally the or
ganization is to-day as headless as Icha-
bod Cranes horseman. Indeed. to make
the simile more exact. II may be said
that II has a pumpkin at present to rep
resent n head.
h resignation, a most important
movement for the organization. was not
attended by much excitement. EulO-
CYSTIC speeches were made. n one
member of the Committee. Fire Com
missioner Scannell. refused to consent
to It's acceptance, and cast the single
vote recorded in the negative. But
from the general feeling manifested. so
different from what It would have been
two or three years ago. 1t Is evident
hat there Is n wan OF harmony in the
body. and that the retirement of the
leader Is not wholly unacceptable.
The selection Of Contractor McQuade
as Chairman OF the Finance Committee
in Mr.. Croker's place seems on the sur
face to create a doubt of the actual abb
dication of the old chief. Mr.. McQuade
ID Regarded as simply II dummy lOr MT
Croker. and his selection Is not accept
able to the Executive Committee. But
II is conceded that 1t was not made at
Mr.. Croker's dictation. but Is. in fact, a
sort OF compromise or bridging over Of
the question of a real successor. and
was favored by all the aspirants until
the fight for the leadership a be
fought out.
The real contest is between Mayor Gil
roy and Police Commissioner Martin.
and Il Is likely to be a severe one. Mr..
Gilroy possesses considerable capacity
Gilroy possesses considerable capacity. but
some persons regard him as too !mpetu-
GUS for a leader. and in that respect
consider Commissioner Martin the bet
ter qualified for the position. Mr..
Croker Is understood to favor the May
or's aspirations.
1t Is not probable that the question OF
a leader will be settled until after the
next election. 1t Is now believed that
Tammany will go to defeat next No
vember. II 1t should be beaten, with n
disorganized army. which will be used
as the excuse for Its overthrow.

PLATE IN HIS SKULL.
This May Cause Dunn to Act Like n
Mailman When Drunk.

Hugh Dunn, u driver. twenty-four
old, OF 1879 Avenue A. sustained a frac-
ture of the skull some time ago and It
was %trepanned with n silver plate. This
