SMALL OYSTERS IN VOGUE.

In Long Island Sound, where the Iusci-

Providence Rivers come from, the beds
are surveyed by the fish commission and
as carefully laid out and allotted as the
new states in the west. Many thousand
acres are under actual cultivation. In old
times there used to be a great amount of
lawlessness over the oyster beds; shot
guns played an important part in the in
dustry, and at one time the Staten Island
oystermen mounted cannon on the
shore to keep the Jerseymen from taking

Another change which has come over
the oyster business since the old times is
in the style, as it were, of the oysters.
Then the demand was all for Providencs

Sympathetic Chord From Walt

"When the women all wear boomers
And their skirts are laid away;
When their legs are no more rumors,
Coyly hid from light of day;
When the petlicoats forgotten
With its swlshing wbistling swirls,
And there's less demand for cotton,
Til be sorry for the girls.
It is bad enough for Willie,
Wearing pants bis mamma made,
And it often knocks you silly
just to see the youthful blade
Wearing pants that no man knoweth
Which is front or which is back
If he cometh or he goeth
There is quite an equal slack.
But your Susie, oh, 'tis CALLING,
scalding tears will downward glance,
When you hear enrchinscalling
Say, where did you get them pants@
You will see her youthful growing,
But by no dread certain rule,
Can you tell if she is going
Or is coming home from school.
There'll be trouble you'll allow sirs,
There'll be anguish for the pas
When their daughters all wears trowseri
That are just reyamped from mas.
So I'm weeping as I'm writing,
And my tear drops fall like pearls;

Ohio Democrats VIII Have a Hard Time on

SPRINGFIELD, o., August 18.-Al-
though none OF the leaders have arrived
for the Democratic convention on Tues
day and Wednesday of this week, yet the
advance guard of workers and CORE
spondents constitute quite crowd. Since
the selections of delegates yesterday in
the different counties, 1t is evident there
will be close fight between the free
silver men and their opponents on the
financial plank of the platform. The free
silver men control the state executive
committee, of which A. W. Thurman IS
chairman, and the Brice men control
the state central committee, of which M.
A. Smalley is chairman. The free silver
men claim that the returns from yester-
days county conventions show the ma
jority of the delegates, but this is not con-
ceded by the Brice men. who certainly
have the better organization.
Sentor Bricc, Ex-Governor Campbell
and their candidates are expected tomor-
row. 1t is conceded that there will he a
hot fight for mem hers of the committee
on resolutions and for places on other
committees Tuesday afternoon. At the
district meetings at s pm. Tuesday il
will be determined who Will control the
convention on Wednesday. If the FREQ
silver men secure the organization it is
believed they will nominate Col. James

CROKER'HAS NOTHING TO SAY

But He VIII Try to Do Something With

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-A representative
OF the Associated Press found MIR. Rich.
ard Croker at Newmarket today and ac-
companied him back to London, seeking
to secure from him an interview on polit-
ical affairs in New York. No amount Of
persuasion, however, could induce him
to talk about James J. Martins assump-
tion OF the leadership of Tammany.
81 have nothing to say" was his re-.
peated reply.
He showed surprise, however. at the
news and finally observed: whoever
takes the Tammany leadership now has =
big contract on his hands,"
Mr.. Croker was then asked about the
course of the board of police com I'm ission-
ers in New York, and in reply said:
''It would not be fair to criticise them
at this distance, but Judging from the
amount of space New York correspond
ents of the London papers are giving to
it daily, they must be raising Cam"
= Mr.. Croker was then asked regarding
the interview with Mr.. Dwyer, which was
published in London last week, ana in
which he complained of unfair treatment
ties. Mr.. Croker expressed his surprise
at Mr.. Dwyers' remarks and said:
1T he is correctly quoted l am sorry
he said it. AS far as l am concerned. I
have been treated In the most agreeable
manner. and l supposed Mr.. Dwysr re-
ceived the same treatment. Ono should
remember that racing conditions here
are different from those in America.
Mr.. Croker says hy has changed his
mind about going to the Dublin horse
snow next week, as he intended to trot
his horse Shy Wilkes. But he is toe busy
here. He is moving his horses from
Newmarket to the south of England for
tho winter. He says the three geldings
recently arrived from America in fine
condition, and he thinks they will win
races next season. He has named them
Yale, Harvard and Princeton. Mr.
Croker is greatly elated over a cablegram
announcing that his son has passed an
Xamina tion to enter Yale.
A prom inent New York Democrat, who
s here, says James j. Martins relations
with Bourke Cochran are too intimate
to suit Croker.
