BAD TOM DUNN AGAIN.
The stereopticon Show OF tho Good Little CIta
Spoiled by Him.

Bad Tom Dunn had more fun with the good
little Cts last might. About 10 o'clock a small
covered wagon drawn by a weary-looking horse
drove up opposite tho Hotel Mctropole. The
outfit was fairly loaded down with funny pic
lures and a lot OF happy thoughts that some
of The brightest boys AZ the Cts headquarters
have been working on for several days. The
stereopticon was turned on a dingy strip Of
canvas. The Cts were jubllant over the pros
pect of a grand evening's sport.
..Perhaps, that horrid MIR. Dunn Is over at
Tammany Hall tonight and won't spoil our
plctures," said one little fellow, as he poked his
,oighbor in tho ribs. No such luck was In store,
however.
The first picture went nicely. 1t represented
MIR. Low as a gladiator about to encounter a
MISUNDERSTANDING Tiger and was accompanied

Hoors AND MISSES FOR CROKER.
A Tammany Meeting Brokcn UP by the storm
Raised by the Mention or His Name.

The mass meeting OF tho United German So
cieties and tho German Democracy in Cooper
Institute last night to indorso Judge Van Wyck
and the rest of tho rammany ticket was brought
to an unlOokcd.fOr close before 10 o'clock by an
outburst Of boots and Kisses following n men
uon of Richard Cookers name. The outburst
was 30 pronounced and so general that Regis
ter William sohmcr. the Chairman, hastily ad-
jeurned the meeting.
John G, Shechan camel in about S:15o'clock and
was greeted with some applause, and there was
q hurrah when Register Sohmer was named Tor
CA1irluan. Tho speaking was In German.
The first siEn of the anti.Croker feeling came
when DIR. John Frederick of Brooklyn said that
h, couldn't exactly understand why sohmer,
who was supported by the German-Americans'
wasn't nominated for Mayor.
Ask Croker!" yelled a voice, and there were
Kisses. Leader Shechan had left the hall be-
fore DIR. Frederick had begun and didn't hear
the disturbance. Cheers for George interrupt
ed Frederick a little later on. and they broke
out several times thereafter.
DR.. Oscar Waterman next got up and broke
the meeting up by the untimely mention oil
Croker's name. He did 1t in asserting thai
Georges attacks on Croker didn't prove that
George himself was honest. Cheers for George
greeted tho mention of the name of the candi
date Of the Jefcrsonian Democracy. and the
counter demonstration came the moment the
audience heard the name Of the leader Of
Tammany.
"Who.o.o-ol Who-o.o.o!' howled the crowd
and then they Kissed vigorously. "Whoo.o-o
Who.o-o-ol" broke out the boots anew. aud ther
there were more Kisses.
Dr. Waterman looked astounded. and Assem-
blyman Otto kcmpner plucked at tho little doc
tors cont and whispered to him to cut thing
short. DIR. Waterman wound his speech up ii
a hurry, and Register Sohmcr, with an unhapp!
look on his face, hastily declared the mcetini
adjourned. There were three or four waiting
speakers, among them Maurice Untcrlsyer
who didn't get a chance to say anything.

Clymcr street. Williamsburg. last night, whore
they checrcd the George candidates on the city
ticket. Clinton Furnish mnde tho principal
speech, and after relating Georges doctrines
said that Mr.. George was going to be elected
by a large majority. Mr., Furnish said that he
reloiced in the fact that. although George
was elected Mayor eleven years ago and
counted out, it couldn't be done now,
as the Australian ballot system was tho
result OF that fraud. Mr.. Kurdish vigorously
denounced Croker 40 the Gear of New York, and
said that every intelligent person couldn't fail

was voting for one'nIan power. lie also spoke

Tho women who are volunteering work and
worship TO Seth Low may be interested in know
ing that their idol refused TO appoint women
to tho Brooklyn Board Of Education after
he had promised TO do 30. While no
was running for Mayor he told many
women that he would appoint some Of their sex
to the Board OF Education. After his election
a committee OF four well-known Brooklyn
women waited on him to remind him
of his promise and to suggest candidates.
To their utter astonishmcnt Mr.. Low re-
pudiated all his promises, in n manner which
was at once coarse and insulting. He told them
that woman was not fit to govern in the Board
OF Education. and ~pcremptorily refused to mako
any appointments.
The women were highly indignant at the
treatment, and scurried out OF his presence in q
hurry. One Of them remarked yesterday that
they felt as though they had been put out. All
| four OF these women were Republicans, and all
four OF them are to-day working against Seth
Low.

William II. Farley, ex-delegate Of the Tile

yesterday as a result OF a fight with James DAILY.
who is managing tho George headquarters at
Clarendon Hall and is also a member OF the TIC
Layers Union. Politics caused the trouble.
Some weeks ago the Tile Layers Union in
dorsed Henry George. On Saturday night the
union discussed George some more, and Farley.
who is q Tammany worker, and his friends left
the meeting in disgust. Farley went to Claren-
don Hall on Monday night and continued tho
discussion by calling DAILY n political fakir."
Dnly's friends say he simply banged Farley in
the eyes by way of a retort. Farley's friends
saw that more than one man must have hit Far

Last evening FArley's friends said he was
hesitating between taking the mnttcr to the

gathered about Mr.. Low. The week. before
election day they were publishing bulletin upon

lie was practically the only candidate b foro the
people; every respectable man one met, they de-
clared, was for Scott. there was u landslide fol-
Scott, But when the vote was counted Mr.
Scott had only 81. 900 out OF 2lS,00o.
