MAGAZINE NOTES.

Clarence c. Buel UNDER axes to show in
the Century that bosses and blackmail are
a legacy to New York city from colonial
days. He makes out bad case for the old
Dutch burghers, some of whom seem to
have engaged in a variety of municipal
swindles.
The pictures in the Century from the
sculptures of Jean Carries show the re-
markahle power of that artist artisan of
putting life and character into his work
The work as it comes from his hand must
indeed be instinct with life when mere re-
productions show such vigor.
Mrs. Burton Harrison's serial, AN Errant

checks must come from some one

There has been the usual chatter about
bribing this Legislature. Roby was go
ing to pour out money like water to
defeat hostile legislation. That was the
prediction. The fact is that the bill to
prohibit winter racing was passed by
the Senate with but one dissenting vote,
and by the House with equal emphasis
If the Roby gang attempted bribery it
must have been to get some one to
steal the bill at some critical period
when it could not be duplicated. 1t has
been stated that 100000 would be spent
by the State building associations. The
struggle has been vigorous one in the
Senate. but there have been no material
changes in the strength of the two fac
TONS So far as the officers of the
County Officers Association are con-
cerned, there is no good reason to be-
lieve that they have collected any con-
siderable amount of money-certainly
no considerable part of 100000 in
checks
In conclusion, it may be said in all
candor that there are no indications
either of the presence of the opulent
bribe-giver or of any use of his money
to affect legislation

now it seems appropriate to ask: Have

Cosgrove, of New Albany, Ind, claims
that he bears that relation to the great
Corsican a5venturer who is now being
so laboriously dragged from deserved
oblivion and exploited as one of the
worlds benefactors. Cosgrove is about
sixty years of age and a plasterer by
trade. In a sworn affidavit he tells

London in 1884, his mother being a nat
ural daughter of Napoleon Bonaparte
and his father a surgeon of repute, who
came to this country in 1886 to accept
the chair of anatomy in medical col
lege in Philadelphia. He says Napoleon
left his mother a large estate which
she and the family were cheated out of
by English relatives and courts. and
that he never got but $4,000 of what
should have been a large fortune. In his

When Private John Allen. of Mississippi
the hl1norist of the House. asked Con-
gress in the closing hours of the session
to grant $4,000 acres of land for the benefit

out dissenting vote. Private Allen is not
in the hurnorist business merely for fun.

presented tonight, in the celebrated lady
violinist, Miss Lillian Eugenia Matchin-
son, who will render some difficult violin
solos between acts. This lady is a
graduate of the Cologne Musical College,
Cologne, Germany, and has toured
Europe and the United States in concert,
being recognized as the only successful
rival of the great Camilla Urso. She will
play upon one of the oldest and most
valuable instruments manufactured by
Nicholus Amati in 1911, and it came into
possession of Miss hutchinson as an
heirloom, descending from long line of
ancestors. Fabulous sums have been
offered for the instrument by wealthy
musicians, but the lady would not part
with it. The selections tonight will be
varied in order to please all musical
tastes. Prices 10, 20 and 30 cents.
