HILL AS A LECTURER.

Senator Hill should not have been so
discouraged by his failure to draw pay
ing houses on his lecture tour as to de-
eide him to quit the experiment and can
Gel several contracts He sh ould have
kept faith with his managers. hoping each
bad night would be follow by a better
tomorrow.
The Iecturing business has not been
very profitable of late years. Very few
orators with the exception OF Talmage
and Ingersoll have proved to be paying
attractions. Especially have the lectures
OF statesmen been at discount. For some
reason statesmen Of recent date have
a fine faculty of making vast number
OF people tired. Only q very few can
make any sort Of one-man exhibition sue
cessful. 1t is doubtful if even Grover Cleve-
land would dra full house at the game
OF lecturing unless he gave, like bob"
Taylor, a violin accompaniment
1t is asserted that Senator Hill Is dis
gusted and angered at the Indifferent re-
ception he received from the people of
the West. If so his temper may break
forth once more in executive session, and
certain nominations to be made by the
President may suffer from his overflow
of bile. As Cleveland and Hill will both
retire from public life on the third day
of March, 1897, the two New Yorkers
tanning merry war until the bitter end.

BIG CHIEFS NOW FRIEDNS.
Croker and GflrOy Form an Offensive
and Defensive Alliance.


New York Journal, December 1.
Richard Croker and ex-Mayur Thomas F..
Gilroy have settled the differences that ex-
isted between them for several nlunths, and
are now working in harmony for the reor-
ganiZation and future success uf Tammany
Hall.
The two leaders had a long talk . day or
two before Mr.. Gilroy went to Atlanta,
and smoked the pipe of peace. Matterswere
fully explained, and they both acknh hwledged
their sorrow for what had happened
The true story of the quarrel between the
two men was learned last night. When Mr..
Gilroy returned to this country from Europe
last summer he found that Tainmany Hall
was I'm q state OF Decentralization He imIne-
diately touk the helm and put the organ
ization in shape for the campaign.
His action was nut approved by some of
the men who occupy seats in the executive
committee, whu were jealous of Gilroy, and
they tonk the first opportunity Of making
trouble for him. Mr.. Croker had hardly
landed from the steamer last September
before these busybudies visited him and
told him that Gilruy was attempting to
obtain control of the organization and turn
down the nld leaders. This aroused Mr..
CrOker's anger. and he made war upun the
former mayor and his friends, which re-
suited in the ignoring of the latter when
the time came for the naming of the standing
committees.

Endeavorers and Col. Incerson

To the Editor of the Sun-Sir: I suggest
that the Christian Endeavorers have another
season of prayer, and pray, each one, to
be made as good as Col. IngersoI. The
increased happiness In their 1,50O homes
and the really Christian good they would
tlo to their fellow men would be SO much in
creased. Which would be the hapeiest
place, a hell full of people like Col fnger-
soil, or heaven full Of bigOted Christians?

be done by, not crying, Lord! Lordl'' but

WHERE ARE THE ROBINS ?
Have You Noticed How Scarce They Are
This Year?

The great scarcity thus far thisspring
of the ever-welcome robin has been the
occasion of frequent comment on the
part of the people who have a great ad-
miration for the ed-breasted turdus
migraforius, which usually arrives from
southern climes in April and makes it's
summer home in Wisconsin. Those who
have sheltered and protected robins in
their trees for many seasons state that
thus far this year they have not seen a
single robin about the old haunts and
they fear that they are not going to be
on hand in anything like the usual
numbers. Various reasons have been
advanced for this regretted shortage in
the supply of robins, including tie
well-known cause for the absence of
other birds, the pesky little English
sparrow. A new and doubtless more po-
tent cause than any yet advanced is
given by man who recently returned
from spending the winter in the ex-
treme south. He states that the lead
ing winter resort hotels in the sunny
south, especially in Florida. have for
some time been feeding robins to their
northern guests and that the demand
for this tender morsel has come to be
very great in those sections. As the
robin lives in large tiocks when winter
ing in the south, the males keeping in
one flock and the females in another, it
is comparatively easy to kill and trap
these beautiful birds in large numbers,
and this gentleman states that the no.
tells there buy them from hunters and
general dealers by the thousand That
this is one great reason of the compare
tive shortage in the robin crop in Ke-
nosha, as we'll as other cities, this sea-
son seems more than probable.
