Now that Croker has resigned his
leadership IN Tamnany his wife is as
happy as any wife IN this broad land
Mrs. Croker IS large, handsome wom-
an. with a face showing signs Of great
mental power, and her children admire
and love her as much almost as does
their quiet, stern father Despite her
strong nature, however, she was exceed
ingly sensitive to the rancOrous criticism
shOwered upon her husband and feels
immensely relieved that he has by re-
signing ceased to offer himself as tar
get for political abuse. She is a rich
woman and now feels that the social as
pirations which she has so long re-
pressed may be given some NEED Of free
dom.
Mrs. Cookers fondness for domestic
life means fondness for her growing
family. The truth of this may be gagged
from the fact that she has six living
children. Three of the children born to
her are dead. OF the surviving ones four
are boys The eldest is about 10. Mrs.
Croker herself shops in the mornings in
company now and then with little FlOs-
sic, the heroine of Hugh Grant S famous
gift of money, who is getting to be real
" a young lady. The other children are
of course quite young. The family moved
into their own house recently, but pre-
vious to that lived at the Windsor hotel
On one evening she was the most mag
nificently dressed woman IN a hotel far
famed for its millionaire guests Perhaps
the most striking feature of this partlc-
ular hotel dinner party was the costume
of the two Croker boys present They
were in full evening dress, as, correct
and sober as if fashioned for old men of
the world, although they could not
have been aged more than 8 and IL
years respectively
Mrs. Croker affects light, neutral tints
IN dress. She is generally sparing IN the
use Of jewelry and seldom displays her
diamonds. Mrs. Croker dimes in the mid
die Of the day unless she has guests,
but even then the chief meal is at 1
o'clock Her tea is got ready for $50
every day These are her favOrite meal
hours. Mrs Croker is an early riser, as
is her husband Mrs. Cookers domestic
duties are in a measure Hghtened by
housekeeper, who is practically steward
ess of the mansion on Seventy fourth
street. There are also three other serv-
ants Mrs Croker, among her other re-
tanners, employs a sealAstress, who Is
kept busy for weeks at q time She sews
not merely the garments Of the house
hold, but makes over numbers Of dress

II is the purpose OF Senator Voorhees,

tee OF the Senate to dispose of the tariff
bill In the committee as speedily as posi-
Bile, and to hasten action on II I'm the
Senate. A brief time will probably be
given to hearings. The million lett ers
which the committee started out to send
to manufacturers and business men
throughout the country asking certain
questions concerning the revision of the
tariff will probably never amount to any
thing, since the undertaking is such a
tremendous one that IL would take fifty
clerks to compile and arrange the answers,
and It would be least six months before
the material thus secured would be avail.
able.
A vigorous fight will be made before
the committee by Democrats in the Sen.
ate to make radical changes in the pill
The fight aga inst the income tax will run
through the whole business, directly and
Indirectly affecting every other question
OF the bill. But the most probable thing
appears to be that whatever changes the
finance committee may make in the
measure, and however hard the fight by
Democratic Senators may be, the char acter
the bill will not be changed.

Leather Football suits.

The Harvard lthall team has decided to
use leather suits next season, and the Penn
sylvanians have already notified the tailor
who made them for Harvard last fall that
they shall want TO be supplied. They pro.
pose, however, to have the suits made in a
new way, with the upper section Of mole
skin and the breeches Of leather. Butter
worth, the Yale fullback, said after the
Springfield game that he found the slippery
leather aided him in diving through the
Harvard players. 1t Is argued that IL the
upper section is made Of moleskin this OBJ
lection will be largely corrected, and, on the
other hand, the slippery leather breeches
will prevent player from being easily

Business on MONDAY

posToS, Feb. 9-The house and senate
met at ~ o'clock today, and beginning
Monday, both branches will get right
down TO business II il reported that on
Monday the greater part OF the day will be
given TO committee hearings, and that
both branches will not meet until late in
the afternoon. This will prolong the ses-
sions well .pto the evening
That somewhat exploded issue, the
abolition OF the council, and a good di-
versity Of other bills, were introduced by
many Legislators yesterday Perhaps the
most startling proposition heard in any
one Of the committee rooms was that
from Mr. Legate 70 submit the decisions
OF the supreme court to popular vote for
endorsement. The hearing before the
committee on taxation brought out the
fact that by laying tax on the az 100000
an shares OF stock held by the Bell Tele-
phone company in other telephone com.
panies there would be an income 10 the
state OF 10000.
The committee on constitutional amend.
ments continued their hearing on the
referendum question. Henry X. Legate,
representing the Peoples party, was of
the opinion that the referendum
without the initiative would prove harm
ful In its effects. He believed that the
referendum with the initiative would pre-
vent the deplorabls spectacle Of n gov
ernor stepping from the executive chair
into the service Of a corporation. With
the initiative the law would be safe, for
II would forever remain in the hands OF
people.

from the state treasury TO carry out the
purposes Of the act.

Representative Bliss appeared before
the committee on taxation in advocacy Of
bill proposing TO tax railroad corpora
tions for the mum Der of miles of track
which they operate within the limits Of
the commonwealth, instead of on the
numb OF miles of roadbed upon which
taxation is at present based. The pro-
posed legislation was opposed by the Bos-
ton and Albany and Boston and Maine
railroads. The Western Union Telegraph
company also appeared in remonstrance
to the proposed amendments.
