SENATOR MURPHY FOLLOWS CROKER

While the Republican party Is con-
flrming Platt's leadership by electing
delegates to the State Convention to
carry out that boss's orders as to the
State nominal tons, the Democracy Is
preparing the way for marked change
IN the State machine.
Senator Ed Murphy tells n World"
reporter Officially and emphntically"
that he intends to retire from the chair
manship of the State Committee. and
he names as his successor Major James
w. Hinckley, OF Poughkeepsie. Senator
Hin Endorses Major Hinckley, whom he
pronounces a veteran campaigner and a
capable leader.
There Is no comfort for the Grace
Democratic organization In this change.
as 1t Is no concession to them. But II liz n
very significant concession to the anti
boss sentiment 30 apparent in the State
last Fall Senator Ed Murphy. Jr., was
the main advocate OF Maynard's nom
nation, and has been as much the rec
ogniZed head OF the State Tammnny
machine as Croker was OF the city Tam
many machine. Murphy's retirement on
the heels OF Croker's abdication shows
a wholesome dread OF public sentiment
on the part OF the old ring.
Mr.. Murphy has been a faithful and
efficient party man. but the regular De-
mocracy will be benefited by his retire
ment.

NEW SCHEME TO TAP WIRES.
Men In n Boat Work II on the Poto-

Lunch for Brain-worEers.
To Reduce the waist Line.

A man can be forgiven for losing his
waist line, but one hates to see the fe-

authority on superfluous flesh says that
the lazy matter can be gotten rid of by CIV
ing twenty minutes dayto the simplest
calisthenic exercise. Hold the legs and
upper part of the body as rigid as pos
sible, place the hands on the hips and
bend forward until the trunk and limbs
are at right angles. Do this five times
at first then ten, then twenty consecu-
tive times. Repeat the movement back.

Corean Boys and Girls.

In Corea a boy gees bareheaded until
he Is seven years of age; some are kept
in curls until the age of fourteen. Once
he puts on a hat he never appears with
out 1t. At church he takes off his
shoes at the door and enters with his
hat on. He washes his face, eats his
dinner, visits with his mother and Sis
ters, reads, works, rests and even goes
to bed in skull cap. When a man or
youth dresses in mourning he puts on
his head an enormous straw hat, shaped
like a wooden bread bowl which COM
pletely hides his face from view, and
he wears this for three years. A Corean
little girl is never seen in public after
her seventh birthday, when, like her
mother she becomes a prisoner for the
rest of her natural life.

To Clean Various Articles.

Lace-woven stockings in white and
delicate tints may be cleaned with ben
zine or naphtha instead of by the OR
binary process of washing. They should
be turned inside out, shaken free from
dust, laid fiat in a dish and covered
with the fluid. After violent stirring,
they should be laid, the other side down,
in clean naphtha. Then they should be
hung in the air until all odor disap-
pears.
Soiled white canvas or kid shoes may
be cleaned by rubbing with dry pipe
clay, applied with a stiff brush. They
may also be rubbed clean with deodor-
lied benzine, followed by an application
of pipeclay.

ness or stiffness may be softened by
rubbing plentifully with coal oil.

Salad is laxative, hence its value after
heavy dinner courses. Cheese is stimu-
lating. People who live we'll and eat to
live consider a dinner without n cube of
cheese imperfect. Fruit is aperent in
It's action. 1t disagrees only with a
diseased or overloaded stomach. Half
pound of grapes or any juicy fruit
will digest a big dinner; If 1t is too big,
the glutton must bear the consequences.
Feeding is a good deal like fire making.

Pockets are put on the side and not

running the hand down in a pocket
spoils the hang OF a well-made skirt;

&c, make the skirt sag and uneven.
