 Holy Moses!" said the spokesman of the delegation-probably because "Hully Gee" had not then been invent ed-"Can't you see? You keep him making shoes and you'll spoil his deli- cacy of touch, and ruin his business when he gets out.'
 Now the story goes, but I will not vouch for it, that the politicians were men of so much influence that their reasonable request was granted. At any rate, Broadway did not lose his delicacy of touch, and when he got out of jail he went to making money again as fast as ever.
 But he is an old man now-old and broken, and probably will not live out his ten years.

a HllllOH QCl1dTS 10 RE BROKE THE RING. provid bicycle roads in he city of New York-asphalt payements, mind you, connecting the ends of the city.
 In other words, the big granite ring has been knocked out by the 15-pound seoreher safety, which would be greater cause for municipal self-congratulation If two or three asphalt rings had not arisen to contest the field.
 Four years ago all the property own CTS upon both sides of an uptown block might have united ill demanding that a smooth pavement be laid in front of their property; they might even have offered to pay the cost themselves. but they would have been ''trun down. by the granite ring, which was so powerful as to keep even to this day Fifth avenue paved through it's entire length, with the exception of few hundred feet, with noisy, jolting granite blocks. But We shall change all that.
 The asphalt rings are having lots of fun, trying on the one side to secure a passage of a law providing that all as- phalt used in this state must be prod ust of the United States, and, on the other side, to prevent the passage of such bill. But perhaps t makes com paratively little difference which side wins, as long as the granite ring is knocked out, for it ought to be knocked out
 Until now most of the asphalt pave ments in New York have been laid in the dirtiest and foulest slums of the lower east and west sides. partly be- cause in such streets the traffic of heavy vehicles is least, but mainly because of the energetic action of the board of health which has insisted that the su- pevior cleanliness of smooth pavements and the ease with which they can be washed makes them particularly valu- able in regions where the natural incli- nation is to be dirty. Nor was the To- cal government even in the granite age so ready to disoblige it's con stituents in the tenement regions as in the brown stone district where dwell the mugwumps, googoos, Parkhurs-- fans and republicans.
 So all we have to do now is to con meet the slums with the uptown boule- wards asphaIted before the granite ring rose to power and there you are!

Mcdonnell May Die.

Pittsburg, Nov, 20.
Will J. Mcconnell. the well-
known temperance lecturer. and
a former protege of Frances Will
lard, arrived in Pittsburg this
morning to attend the trial of
WilliamJ. Richter, who is charged
with numbering Mr.. McConnell's
13 year-old son last July. A re :
port that the temperance advo>
cate had fallen into his former
ways in Chicago yesterday pres
ceded him.
When court adjourned at noon
MIR. Mcconnell boarded one of
the elevators, intending to go
ont for lunch. AS the car started
to descend Mr.. Mcconnell sank
to the floor, The Jail physician
said he was very sick, and
ordered him taken to the
homeopathic Hospital. There
it was found that his CON
dition was serious. 1t was thought
that the trial had given him a
stroke of apoplexy, but the
physicians discovered traces of
poison. A stomach pump showed
large quantities Of morphine.
DR.. Gaggin said tonight that
Mr.. Mcconnell had taken enough
morphine to kill three ordinary
men, and did not think he will
recover. He thought that Mr..
Mcconnell had been uslng the
drug a long time. The jury in the
murder case will render ver~
dict tomorrow.

Money in the Campaign.

1t is impossible to ascertain
how much money was spent in
the recent presidential campaign.
The amount was probably larger
than that used in any former po-
litical contest here or elsewhere.
The New York correspondent
who claims to be in a position to
know, says that the Democratic
and Republican National cons
mittees alone had 50. 500, 900
at their command. rhe ex-
penses incurred under the
direction Of Chairman Hanna
are placed at 81 400, 900. while
Chairman Jones is said to have
expended over 81, 100, 900. The
bulk of the Republican commit-
tees money Was.coutributed from
the four cities of New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Bos-
ton and three-forths Of the fund
placed in the hands of Chairman
jones was directly from silver
mine owners Or from the five

Atlanta, Nov. 19.-The Con

tomorrow morning:
"Tom Watson has been rub
bing more red pepper into the
wounds of Senator Marion Butler.
In his paper, out yesterday, he
publishes his answer to Butler,
and it is without any appearance
of conservatism. In his reply
Mr., Watson says in part:
"You did not dare to publish
it, (the fist letter. because you
felt its arraignment of you to be
unanswerable Mr.. Washburn' S
kilograms ito which I was no
party did not control you in not
publishing the letter any more
than they control you now in sup
pressing it. The truth is, Sena
tor, you feel yourself to be a
deeply guilty man-as indeed you
are. Instead of managing this
great campaign in a spirit of
broad patriotism and of courag
eous loyalty to your nominee and
your party, you have allowed
your personal i'll will toward me
to divert you into a tortuous, mar
row, jealous and disloyal policy
which has shipwreeked the Peo
pies party and brought the sue
cess of Mr.. Bryan to a crisis of
extreme peril.
"You now plead with me to
pull you out of the hole. I shall
do nothing of the kind. You
pecked your way into it and you
must peck your way out.
Senator, you were selected as
chairman to help me with this
campaign. You were expected
to act with me and for me- You
have not done so. You have
acted without me and you have
acted against me. At no time
have you told me of your plans
or purposes. In all this you may
be right and I may be wrong.
The committee called off by you
to one side at Chicago has sus>
tanned you and censured me.
Therefore my position is most
painful. The Bryan ~Sewall com
mittee is against me and the
Bryan Watson committee is
against nae.
II stand alone"
"But, Senator, I was a Popu>
list while you were still camping
with the Democrat and I have al
always been middle ofthe-roa
Populists, which you never have
been. A fusionist you have al
ways been and you have bar
gained with the Republicans in
one campaign and with the De,
mocrats in the next. In this
campaign you have bargained
with both Republicans and De-
mocrats.
"God only knows which bar
gain you intend to keep.
las for me, I turn from you
and appeal to the real true hearts
ed Populists. If I have sinned
against principle and right in
demanding that our party and
it's nominees and it's creeds~ be
represented by the Democrats
who had come to you for help,
then [ want the party to say SO,
and I will bow to it's decree. But
l do not recognize your right to
put me under the heels of the
Democratic tricksters and bosses,
and I shall continue to claim the
privilege of speaking and writ-
ing for the national nominees o.
the Peoples party.
L do not believe that the time
has yet come when Populists will
say it is treason to be loyal to

cessary for me to say that my
letter of acceptance must stand
just as it is written.

The Church and the World walked far apart

The World was singing giddy song,
And the Church hymn sublime.

And gave him her hand of snow;
And the false World grasped it, and walked

L have gold and pearls to wear;
Rich ve1vets and silks for your graceful form,
And diamonds to deck your hair
Your house is too plain,'' said the proud

And furniture never so fne.''

And fair and festival-frolics untold
Were held in the place of prayer;
And maidenS, bewitching as sirens of old,
With world-winnng graces rare.
Bedecked with fair jewels, and hair all curled
Untrammeled by gospel or laws,
To beguile and amuse and win from the
World
Some help for the righteous cause.
The Angel of mercy rebuked the Church,
And whispered: L know thy SIM"
Then the Church looked sad, and anXiouSly

To gather the children in.
But some were away at the midnight ball,
And others busy at the play;
And some were drinking in gay saloons,
And the angels went away.
And then said the world in soothing tones
Your much loved ones mean no harm
Merely indulging in innocent sports.'

And they of the Church and they of the World

And mockingly said. aside:
