ARRIVAL OF CHICAGoANs.
Mayor Harrison Thinks He Is a Mas

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The special train
bearing Mayor Carter Harrison and the del
egation Of Chicago Democrats escorting
him pulled into the Grand Central Station
shortly before O'Clock this evening. A
large crowd was on hand to witness the ar
rival of the visitors. The latter formed in
line. four abreast, and, with their band at
their head, marched quickly to the Murray
Hill Hotel block distant, where Mayor
Harrison and about thirty Of the most
prominent Chicago men accompanying him
were to be guests. The remainder OF the
delegation then continued the march down
Park avenue to the Park-avenue Hotel,
where accommodations had been secured
for them. Every member of the delegation
was dressed in black frock suit and silk
hat Each carried silk umbrella A re-
ception committee from Tammany Hall,
headed by Richard Croker, George b. Nc
Clellan and James Martin, met the mayor
and his delegation at the train and escorted
them to the Murray Hill Hotel. Mr.. Croker
remained with Chicagos executive until it
was time to start for the meeting at Tam
many Hall.
Questioned concerning former Governor
Altgeld's approval of Henry George as the
exponent OF Democracy, the mayor an
sWered: Governor Altgeld has a right to
his opinion, and l have a right to mine.
He thinks that Henry George is the true
representative of Democracy, and l think
that Van Wyck is. l have been successful
in aiding the election of mayors" he added,
and consider myself mascot. Taggart,
of Indianapolis, and Dudley, of Nashville,
were elected. l consider the election of
Weaver in Louisville a dead sure thing, and
/ have no doubt that Van Wyck will win"
Questioned about open saloons in Chi
cago, he said: In some districts the Sa-
Icons are open all night, but l consider it
only proper that they should be in those
districts. If saloons should be closed from
midnight until O'Clock in the morning,
then it is just as wrong to have them open
all day. Chicago is a cosmopolitan city,
and IL would be a serious task to try and
enforce the closing of saloons"
In the present local campaign in this city,
Mayor Harrison declared the Chicago plat
form should not have any place. Speaking
about the trip the mayor said that at Syra-
cuSe and at Albany there was some delay
because the railroad people wanted to re-
move the American nag from the side of
the train. 1.-The boys got off, though" he
moved the train would not be allowed to
proceed.
The question of removing the flag is said
to be due to a railroad regulation which
prohibits bunting on the sides of trains,
because, some time ago, While train was
passing through a tunnel, a spark from the
engine set fire to some decorations on the
sides of the cars.
The Chicago mayor said that he would
start for home tomorrow morning or night,
and would probably stop at Washington en-
route. The delegation Will not leave taAS
city on it's return trip until Saturday night.
Tomorrow night the visiting Democrats
In the afternoon they will enjoy a banquet
at Tammany Hall.

Board Of Health officials as alarming In
the matter of fatalities, the unfavorable
weather initiates against the patients,
though In comparison with the cases under
treatment the death rate is not considered
excessive. Everything is being done to
isolate the cases. 1t is noticed that the dis
ease has been spreading among children
whose ages range from four to fourteen
years. The Board of Health officials are
having more work than they can attend to

mayor is active in Boston politics and is a
prominent candidate for the Republican
nomination for mayor. The path OF bache-

or less thorny on account of the so-called
anti-bachelor agitation, and when called on
last summer by committee and asked as
to his intentions in the matrimonial line. it
is said he slnilingly promised to become a
benedict before election, and he has kept his
promise. Miss Waterman is a Bostonian. but
for the past two years has been living in
Chicago with her sister The wedding was
very quiet, so much so indeed, that no
mentlon or II got INTO the Chicago papers
except the routine announcement of the is

was helped in keeping the ceremony quiet
by the coincidence that yesterday was also

FORMER PRESIDENTS DESIRE FOR
A MALE HEIR GRATIFIED.
SON Born to the Cleveland Household
at Princeton Kesterday-Univer-
sity Students Pleased.

PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. ga son was
born to the household of Grover Cleveland,
the former President of the United States,
at noon to-day. 1t is said the newcomer re-
sembles his parents in points of good health.
but neither Mr.. Cleveland nor the three
family physicians will say anything in re-
gard to the newcomer other than he is get
ting along nicely and is a fine boy. All
afternoon Mr.. Cleveland received at his
home the many callers who wished to pay
their respects to him in honor of the occa-
sion. Some congratulated the ex-President
personally, but many preferred to leave
their cards with congratulations and best
wishes for mother and son. A great many
kilograms OF congratulation were received.
Among the first to proffer congratulations
by wire were Joseph Jefferson, E. c. Bene-
dict, former Secretary Thurber and former
Secretary Carlisle.
Princeton undergraduates have taken a
great interest in the new Princetonian. The
fact that a Cleveland heir was born was an
nounced during the Varsity pracdce .hIs
afternoon. There was a large gathering of
undergraduates on the field watching the
Varsity and scrub teams practice. When
the announcement was made three Prince
ton cheers were given for the boy. three
for the mother and three more for the
father. 1t is probable that the undergrad
yates will serenade former President Cleve-
land and his heir at some future date.

New York Evening Sun.
The only Individual thing about DIR. Seth
Low is his smile. Since his nomination, so
called, the wrinkles have not been smoothed
out around the mouth and at the corners
of the eyes of the great man OF Morning
side Heights. 1t is said that he smiles in
his sleep, smiles when he contemplates the
ugly new buildings which have been erected
near Riverside drive for him to play with
smiles when he rides the wheel, smiles
when he does nothing in his office at the
university. Some women were discussing
the political situation the other day. One
OF them said: II have heard DR.. Low
speak [ don't think he is clever or dis
tlngulShed looking, or impreSSes YOU as be-
ing scholar, but he has such a winning
smile - The president of Columbia has dis
covered his own secret. Tho mirror in his
dressing room has revealed to him the fact
of that blessed possession If he cannot get
voters by beaming in heavy benevolence at
ms auditors he is determined to win the
support or the feminine portion of his meet
lngs, these dear ladies who would vote
II they could" But alas, what is more de-
ceptlve than a smile? DIR. Low, when Mayor
Low, of Brooklyn, used to smile as he noti-
ned MS appointees that such and such a.
resignation, obtained long before and filed
away Tor future use, would be operative
at q certain date. Mr.. Low smiled when he
tried to down Mr.. Stranahan. when he was
pIotung against Col. Roebling, the archi-
tect OF the Brooklyn bridge ASK the school,
boy IL he ever trusts a schooImaster who
is always smiling. He Will tell YOU thai
Such are the hoggers, the most cordially
mated, the least trusted. A perpetual smile

furnishes the cheapest sort of disguise.

Georges Reckless CharGcs-The Sim
gIe-Tc xer Scored by Cummings.

gIe-TC xer Scored by Cummings.
NEW YORK Oct. 2S-Henry George is
supplying the greater part of the ginger"
that is being used in the municipal cam
paign. His allegations touching the integ-
rity OF the recognized chiefs of both the
leading parties are exciting wide interest,
though they are met by those most directly
concerned with a showing OF indifference.
The most specific of Mr.. Georges allega-
tions are that Roger A. Pryor paid Richard
Croker $4,000 for the judgeship he now
holds; that $22 coo was paid for a seat on
the bench for Judge Ingraham. and that
other judicial offices were made the object
of barter by the so-called political bosses.
Judge Pryor has made categorical denial
that he paid, or caused to be paid, directly
or indirectly, any sum whatsoever for the
nomination, and like denial has been made
by others of the judges involved in
Georges allegation.
If George is doing great deal of talking,
so are Tracy and Low. though the latter
are less sensational and personal in their
utterances. The only exception to the rule
of volubility among the mayoralty candi-
dates is Van Wyck, whose star speech,
delivered last night before the Independ-
ence Hall Democracy, was limited to thirty
words of commonplace Acknowledgment OF
a hearty greeting.
In the event of the defeat OF Seth Low IL
will not be possible in the light of the
statement given out by the Citizens Union
treasurer. J. Kennedy Tod, to allege that
the failure Of the nonpartisan movement
was the result of inadequate financial sup
port. Mr.. Tod says that the Union has been

Wanted-a man. woman or child in any
of the districts yet canvassed by the Re
himself to be supporter of Seth Low-just
by way of curiosity, you know. Before en-
tering the campaign the missionaries had
been led to believe that they would find
such supporters galore; that they consti-
tuted the most formidable obstacle to be
termination did they buckle on the armor
of straight Republicanism, prepared to do
battle of the severest sort. They soon found
out, however, that, like the little boys
apple core, there wasn't going to be any
battle. II the conSecrated one of Morning
side Heights had ever had any adherents
in all those areas that the jealous mission
OF sanity or they had skunk off ashamed
and afraid in the presence of what they
knew to be a stronger, mightier, more logi-
cal phase of the situation At all events,
nary one Of them has been found. Once,
just by way Of variety, a missionary asked
the Low movement Low? Who's he?' re-
turned the woman, puzzled. Il never heard
of him." So 1t has been all through the
campaign. The Lowite has been so rare
bird that from the scientific, If not polit-
ical, point of view, it would be really worth
while to have such a. one caught Gagged
and put on exhibition in some show of
oruithological or any other illogical freaks.
Hence this want notice. The Republican
women are working hard; they have COW

LUETGERT ANGRY.
He Quarrels with Ex-Judge Vincent
and Sends for Another Lawyer.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S-There is a strong
probability that ex-Judge Vincent win not
appear as counsel for Adolph Luetgert in
his second trial, which is scheduled for next
week Luetgert sent for ex-Assistaut
States Attorney Ramsay today to onsalt
with him relative to taking charge OF The
new trial. A very heated conversation, it is
said, took place between the big sausage
maker and his counsel at the jail yesterday
Esx-Judge Vincent urged Luetgert to agree
to a reasonable continuance of the case but
he was obdUrate. Mr.. Vincent then told
Luetgert that he had neglected his own
business for three months to try the case.
and he now proposed to have a little time
for himself. Luetgert became very angry
and sent for Attorney Ramsay to-day
AT O'Clock this afternoon Luetgert ap-
peared before Judge Chetlain with Attorney
Phalen and had his case continued to the

States Attorney Deneen was present. Pre-
vious to the continuance 1t had been posi-
lively agreed by counsel that Luetgert's
second trial should begin on Nov. 5, and
Luetgert wanted this understood. 1t was
necessary to have Luetgert ask for the con-
tinuance, as, under the law of Illinois, a
prisoner held through four terms of court
without trial is entitled to his freedom.
Luetgert has been held that length of time
as the disagreement of the jury counts as
no trial. Unless he himself asked for the
continuance, States Attorney Deneen
would have placed the case on call and
brought up for trial at once.
