COST OF CAMPAIGNS.
TAKES A "MlNT OF MONEY" TO
RUN A GREAT PARTY.
Tremendous Work of n National Ex-
ecutive Committeee-How 1t Is Di-
vided Among Minor Committees


No two presidential campaigns are con-
Quoted alike but all are directed by ma
tional executive committees, whose head
quarters are always the vortex of political
activity during the continuance of the
tight. Down to the present both the great
parties have always had campaign head
quarters in New York, though more than
once determined moves have been made
to locate them elsewhere. Washington
has been the fayorte place for a large
contingent of the Republican leaders
Those who favor New York urge that it
is the center of the densest voting popu-
lation in the United States; that it affords
unequaled facilities for printing the mill
ions on millions of documents" used, but
the partisans of Washington represent
that they have the Government printing
office, from whose presses are turned out
the documents that have been delivered
as speeches in Congress so as to be sent
through the mails free.
1t has long been an unwritten law with
both political parties that their headquar-
ters should be on Fifth avenue in New
York city, and the first thing to be done
after private house has been leased for
campaign headquarters is to make its in
terror look as little like dwelling as pos
sble by putting up wire lattices and iron
barred doors in every conceivable Place
Then the outside of the building is deco
rated with flags, and man is placed in
charge, his duties being to act as door
keeper so as to prevent any one, under
any pretext not personally known to him
from visiting the rooms occupied by the
committee. None but the truly elect can
get by this man, and it is a pathetic thing
in campaign times to watch the victims
of this stony-eyed creature, as they sit and
sit the livelong day in the vain hope that

bered by the thousands. His every ac-
ton is watched by critics and fault find
ers, and he knows it; and the wonder is,
not that the reputation of the executive
chairman for political sagacity sometimes
suffers during the campaign, but rather
that at its close he has any reputation at
all. There Is always a treasurer and a
secretary, speakers committee, Il
finance committee, printing committee,
and a committee on election methods. Nat
urally, the treasurer is at the head of the
finance committee and he not only has
to strain every faculty to secure suili-
cient contributions TO meet the enormous
expenses OF the campaign, but also to
manage the funds SO as to prevent a de-
felt at the end.
The printing committee generally has
charge of the editorial work as well as
the printing, The most important piece
Of this branch of campaigning is the pro-
duction Of the text book. In the eyes of
the committee this volume is always the
greatest piece Of literature Of the current
year. Sometimes it is the work of large
number Of party wise men; sometimes of
only few. The text book issued by one
Of the parties in 1892 was produced by
young attache of the headquarters, who
put it to press without SO much as even
showing the larger part of it to all the

members of the committee. OF course
there was row over that book. There
were some who declared it to be nothing
more or less than maniacal drivel, while
others seemed to regard it as infallible
One committee tried to put out 100, 0,000,-
600 documents, or one and a third to
every person in the country. This was
at the rate of 10.000000 documents
week. The printer farmed out most of
the work to job Offices, but could not get
it fast enough. He was obliged to put in
a great number of presses himself at
ruinous expense. His bills came danger
ously near to 100000. The printing de-
partment, together with the binding de-
'partment, occupied two or three floors of
Il huge building, whole block long. and
several hundred men, women, boys and
girls, were kept busy every week day and
Sunday, and many nights, during the
campaign, in getting the matter off The
expenses constituted one Of the greatest
eyesores of the whole campaign with the
methodical treasurer of the executive
committee.
Some executive committees run very
heavy to oratory, and such committees
StllI uul VI 1ueTe are
always a number OF men who are really
excellent takers that desire to go on the
stump, and do not wish to be paid any
thing beyond their actual expenses. But
it may be said without showing disrespect
to these men, that the majority of those
who apply to executive committees for
stump work might well be described as
old-fashioned sailing ships ere spoken of

Bedrock Terrapin Facts.

''I have controlled the entire supply
of Chesapeake bay diamond back terra
pin for good many years." said Mr..
A. T. Lavallette of Crisfeld, Nd. "In
times gone by terrapin were SO plentiful
that they were fed to the negro slaves,
being about the cheapest kind of food at
that period. Some of the masters would
overfeed their slaves to such an extent
that they were compelled to sign arti-
cles of agreement that terrapin should
not be fed out once or twice per week.
If anybody doubts this, there are old
documents still ON file at some of the
county seats of the eastern shore OF
Maryland that will confirm the truth
of what say.
1.-THE price for terrapin increased
with the demand up to 1898, the sup
ply during that time being on the de-
crease Full counts'-that is, specimens
measuring seven inches and over and
weighing from three to six pounds
were worth then from $50 to $3.50 per
dozen, six inch counts weighing from
Ia to 22 pounds bringing from $50 to

tanning few eggs are never i'll great de-
mand During single season l have
sold Delmonico's $15, 900 worth of ter
rapin. l have also supplied John L.
Chamberlin for years, and he can come
nearer telling perfect terrapin by its
outward appearance than any other
man in this country.
"Since 1898 the price has decreased,
while the supply has not increased.
This is owing to the practice of small
firms in shipping common southern,
North Carolina and Texas terrapin and
trying to palm them off ON buyers as
the genuine Chesapeake article. The
trick, however, rarely succeeds.
"a large eight inch terrapin is said
by scientists to be 60 to 70 years old.
In not one case in a thousand do the
males measure over five inches or weigh
over one pound. "-Washington Post.

Lifted a 75O-Pound Hammer.

All over Southern New Jersey Will
lam Stiles was known as the Jersey
Samson" At the time of his death at
Cape May a few days ago he was 10
years old, yet even at that age he could
lift things that much younger man
could only bulge. Stiles was one of the
expert boatmen of the Cape coast In
times of peril and heavy seas he was
always placed in command of the life
boat.
AS an instance of Stiles strength it is
told of him that few years before the
outbreak of the rebellion, when leading
Southerners frequented the hotels of
that resort, athletic sports were often
held for the amusement of the visitors.
One young Southerner, who lowered
feet in his stockings, had entered n
"strong mans" competition. He walk
ed easily with objects weighing 300
pounds, then he did better by picking
up 550-pound weight and carrying it
100 feet
Stiles watched these performances
without saying word. Then the
Southerner, to 'cap the climax" grasp
ed full 600-pound weight and carried
it thirty yards. Flattered by cheers
from the girls, he raised his voice and
dared any one present to equal his feat.
Stiles walked from his obscure position
past the heaviest object that had yet
been lifted, and on to the beach beyond,
where there was an anchor weighing
750 pounds, took off his coat, stopped
down. grasped the anchor, bore it to
his shoulder and carried it 100 yards
along the beach. Cheers rose that
drowned the breakers roar. The South
erner walked up to Stiles, stretched out
his hand and acknowledged that this
was superior muscle.

ShelleY's Heart.

A we'll known and very prominent
English family are the possessors of a
remarkable relic in the shape of hu-
man heart preserved in jar of alcohol.
1t appears that Shelley, the poet, feared
that there was a chance of being buried
alive. To guard against any such con-
tingency he left directions that his heart
should be removed Immediately after
death. The queer relic may still be seen
by any one who visits Bascombe Manor,
Bournemouth, England.

It was Easter Sunday on the Pacific
coast last Sunday although probably
not more than half dozen persons
knew it. Those who did are ambitious
astronomers or mathematicians. They
find that the first full moon OF the
spring equinox put in an appearance
about 10 o'clock Saturday night, and it
is fact that the first Sunday after the
first full moon of the spring equinox is
Easter Sunday the world over. But in
this peculiar case, said to be the first
instance of the kind since the beginning
Of the Christian era, only this part of the
Pacific slope has its Easter Sunday a
week in advance OF the rest of the world.
When the moon filled Saturday night,
reckoning by Pacific coast time. it was
already Sunday in New York and Lon
don. Consequently for the East and the
remainder Of the world, excepting the
Pacific coast, the first Sunday after the
first full moon after the spring equinox
will not arrive until next Sunday.
