THE TAMMANY WAY.

New York Evening Post: Nothing
like the systematic blackmail of the
past few years was known in TWeed's
OF Kelly's> time. No boss before
Croker took away all the Legislative
business from the lobby and the in
dividual strikers" at Albany, and
made it Il system for his personal
profit, levying upon all corporations
and other interests at the mercy Of
the legislature one tariff for immunity
from hostile legislation and another
tariff for friendly legislation. The
tremendous profits of this business
can only be surmised. A glimpse of
them is afforded in the sudden accumu-
lation Of wealth by Croker as revealed
in his more notable expenditures of
the past few years. A list of these
will give some idea of the comforta-
bic circumstances under which the boss
passes from public to private life:
Invested in stock farm. ..... $3.50, 900
In race horses. ............. 1O3, 900
In a Fifth avenue residence. -. $4,000
In family carriages. ...... 5000
nitude is evidence of wealth of no
ordinary proportions. A man who can
tie up Il quarter of a million in a
stock farm must have Il considerable
SurpluS of wealth at his disposal. That
Croker has this was shown by his
recent trip to and about the Pacific
coast He made this journey in pri-
yate car, Of which the rental alone
was $50 q day, and during the ten
thousand or more miles of it he spent
his money with Il truly regal prOfu-
sion. Journeys like this, $25O,OOO stock
farms, fifteen or twenty blOOGCd race
horses are not the recreatiOnS of lien
of limited means, for the outlay in all
Of them is enormous. Croker pays a
salary of $4,000 year for a single
ager of his stock farm. All lais APP
parently ineXhauStible wealth has been
accumulated within a very few years,
during which Mr.. Croker has had TO
business and has been -CcaI-ing no
salary. He now retireS from politics.
Chicago Inter Ocean: This is the
first time Tammany ever ''swapped
horses in the middle of the stream"
Boss Croker is smarter than Boss
Tweed. Tweed waited. The New York
Herald says: I'VE need hardly add
that it is in an event ominOus for
Tammany an equally significant for
the citizens of New York.

THE SUMMER GIRL OF '94.
How the Chic Creature Will Appear
Before Us.

Gentlemanly get-upS for summers
girl promise to be very plentiful, and
the wearers of them will excuse their
appearance of mannish2eSs as they
have done in the past by asserting
that the masculine rigs are 80 COM
Portable" This is not always true,
and the example pictured here shows
clearly two features which certainly
do not help to make the jacket easy.
One is the exceedingly small waist
which the masculine cut of coat in no
way DISCUSSES, and the second is the
collar which is so high as to necessl-
tate the wearer's head being held
away up in the air. Nevertheless, the
girls will wear them, and it must be
said that this model is a very dreSsy
affair." The jacket is intended to go
with an outing suit and the vest be-
meath is of polka dot pique and the
severe little tie matches it. The only
adornment of the jacket is machine
stitching which outlines the edges and
the pockets. With such a garment a
comparatively plain hat is worn and
either white or yellow channels gloves.
So-called outing dresses are making
an early appearance for street use and
several improvements and mod1fica-
tons in designs are notable. The Elton
Jacket seems supplanted by a little
bodice made with big gigot sleeves,
with four buttons down the front,
, with some trinity laid coat revers
turned back to show the shirt waist
at the throat, it's lower edge just Gov
ering the waist line, and setting IN a
little point in the back like the gen
uine Elton. This little garment is much
! more trim and ship-shape than either
the Elton or the erstwhle blazer anc
may be worn open or closed. Wher
open it hangs a good deal like al
Elton, except that it is longer and does
not display the belt line at the back
This design is made up in Wiry serge
and hop-sacking.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

Chicago Times (dem.): But now, in
the sole and exclusive interests Of the
monopoliStic sugar trust, the senate
is about to undo the good work already
done; to upset the reciprocity arrange
ment with Germany instead OF extend
ing it to other countries; to close the
greatest Of our foreign markets
against every American product. 1t
stands to reason that if this Ubiquitous
sugar clause goes into effect and our
markets are thereby closed to her beet
sugar Germany will retaliate at once
by re-enacting the legislation barring
out American pork in every form and
restoring the old high tariff, which will
shut out our cereals and breadStuffS
trade Germans will suffer, for food
will be dear, but our farmers will
suffer, too There is no reason for put
ting a duty on German sugar or on
any sugar.
Denver Republican (rep.): 1t Is only
too evident that. the sugar trust has
| more influence with the men who con
| troll legislation in congress than The
people who must foot the bills cal
! hone to command. What striking
! commentary this fact is upon The
professions of devotion to the inter
ests of the masses which formed s.
large a part of the plea upon which
the democrats were given control o
the federal government in the calaml
touS election of 1892.

again construe existing law as permit
ting him to do 50. 1t is clear, how
ever, that it will be practically impos-
sible to get any bill through congress
to authorize bond ISSUE and Secre-

interest. The tariff is not likely to be
settled for at least two months yet,
and then it will be considerable time
before business can adjust itselr TO the
changed conditions. And it is the
tariff issue. IL is maintained. that has
much to do with these gold exports.
AS the tariff agitation has much to
do with exports it is not expected that
the outflow of gold will lie stopped
until there shall be some adjustment
of the tariff question. Under the
clause Of the tariff bill admitting goods
in bonded warehouses under the rates
of duty imposed by the new law the
demand for gold is likely to be in
creased, as importers will bring great
quantities Of goods from Europe,
which they can buy cheaply now, and
store them in bonded warehouses,
ready to flood the markets of this
country as soon as the new tariff bill
takes effect.
The sugar trust will have, under
the senate amendment, until next Jan
uary to import sugar free of duty,
and its agents are now contracting for
sugar both in Europe and in the
West Indies with view of getting
every pound possible in this country
for storage before the duty takes eff
feet This is causing some Of the de-
mand for gold, and as the sugar crop
r1penS abroad this demand on the
part of the sugar houses for gold will
be still greater Hence the prObabiIi-
ties are that the outflow Of gold will
increase rather than diminish. This
will soon drain the treasury and make
another bond issue inevitable despite
the opposition Of democrats in con
gress. The demand for export gold
t, IS week has been $4,000 900, and the
treasury gold is reduced to $50 100000

Indignation so frankly expressed in

derfully ingenious but it left. its track
so clearly that there can be no rea-
Sonable doubt of willful murder.
Tweed was by far the most dis
tinguished name on the Tombs record,
as he had been boss" of the city and
welded a power beyond all rivalry.
He was convicted of misdemeanor for
robbing the public and was sentenced
to II years imprisonment, but was
released by death before its expiration
Among the isolated cases-that is
crimes for which but one person has
suffered, the most distinguished was
Capt. Nathaniel Gordon, who was
hanged for slave trading, being the
only instance since the settlement of
the country. His execution took place
in the Tombs February p, 1862, and
was one of the sensations of that IA
NOUS prison. Another isolated case,
as far as the weapon is concerned,
was the car hook murderer, Foster,
and never before or since, has this
implement been used in personal as
Sault. Foster was a rich mans son,
degraded by vice, and his countenance
was base and revolving beyond de
scriptiOn, but WalwOrth and Stokes
were noted for youthful beauty. The
least eXcusable of all the TOmbs popu-
lation, however, is Frank H Weeks,
the colossal detaulter. He ruined
nearly 20 estates entrusted to his care
and wasted a million and a quarter
in a very short time. His income from
these trusts was estimated at $4,000
a year, but he could not live on so
small a sum, and they kept him in
Sing Sing on considerably less.

THE WOMEN OF BRITTANY.
They Cling to Their Old and Pictur-
esque Costumes and Defy Fashion.

The women Of Brittany still cling
to the antique costume Of their
mothers, consisting Of an open vest cut
square at the neck, an embroidered
skirt and a great snowy Golf and
plated collar. But the men, alas! no
longer wear the Dragon brass OF the
ancient Breton. The knee-breeches,
embroidered vest and flowing locks OF
the Chouans are things Of the pictur-
esoue past, seen at rare intervals upon
some patriarch Of the old regime.
Models at Pont Aven are paid from
one to two francs day, but they are
scrace and intractable. A Breton girl,
for instance, cannot be persuaded to
divest herself of her ample and snowy
Golf. and every stray riDglet is hidden
away as carefully as If some public
shame attached to its exhibition.
This is mainly due to national preJu-
dice, no doubt, but also in part,
fancy, to the fact that few Of them
have preserved their natural tresSes.
It will case the minds Of many of the
prematurely bald to know that most
of the artificial hair of the world is
clipped from the heads Of pretty
Breton maidens who are all in the
heydey Of youth and health. At every
large fair there is to be found dealer
in artificial hair who offers the young
girls a ten-franc piece in exchange for
! their chevelure As it is no disfgure-
ment to them many accept the tempt
! ing offer, and bunch Of linen easily
supplies the deficiency.

Fleischbein. revenue clerk in the audi

of the same Office, have just discovered
that the county of Edwards is entitled
to a half mile more territory than it
has been accredited with since 1929,
and that the city Of GRANVILLE is in
the county of Edwards entirely, in
stead of in the counties Of White and

AS the people of that city since

worm is the larya Of a small green
beetle, ID near relative of the striped
squash and cucumber vine beetle. The
eggs are laid about the roots Of the
corn in late summer and fall and hatch
the following spring or early summer.
Ii corn follows corn on the same
ground year after year, these worms
will continue to increase and feed on
the roots Of the corn plants. The eff
