DANGERS OF CLERlCALISM.
Motion in Frenct Chamber of Deputies 10
 Separate Church and State.

Yaris, Jan. 21.-During the debate in the chamber of deputies today on the estimates for the department of public worship, M. Berard denounced the dangers of clerical ism.
 The premier, M. Moline, declared there was no ground for such fears.
 Ex-Minister Goblet then moved the sep- aration of church and state, which was defeated by 309 to 1922
 Several members denounced the interfer- ence of Chief Rabbi Zadockahn in the Esterhazy affair, whereupon M. Willard re- piled that if the chief rabbi had acted im- properly he could be deprived of his sal ary.
 The estimates were then adopted.
 M Dutrieux moved the renunciation of the Concordia Cor understanding between the French government and the vatican). The motion was defeated by vote of SIG to I'll.
 The president of the chamber of deputies, M. Brisson, announced that the interpella- tion of ex-Minister Cavagnac, introduced on Jan. r (demandings discussion of the semi-official note issued that day in which the government declined to make public the alleged confession made by Alfred Dreyfus to Capt. LeBrun-Renaud, the offi- cer who had charge of him when he was courtmartialed), would be discussed.

rather than his name by all classes and conditions of people, and no king of modern times ever had more power. Mir. Croker has not only dictated every appointment made, but he is sole and unquestioned director of the policy of the administration on every question. His word Is law in Tammany Hall and in every department of the city government. He is absolute monarch or dictator of the public and po- litical affairs of the city.
 There are many persons who believe that Croker is reaching out to control the dem- ocratic party of the state and nation as he controls Tammany Hall. He may have such an ambition; it would be surprising if he did not, but if so he has undertaken a big job. There are indications already that he is going to have the political fight of his life in his effort to drive ex-Senator Hill from the leadership in this state. Flushed with his local triumph. MT. Croker has evidently underrateds Hill's strength outside the city, and his plan to capture the next state convention is long way from success. He may win the fight, but he has aroused an opposition to his meth- ods and his leadership that bids fair to grow every day from now until the conven- tion. Anyway, it's going to be an interest ing fight. WALTER L. HAWLEY.

VAN wYcK's GOOD IMPRESSION
Special to The Age-Hcrald.

New York, Jan. 21-The shifting sands of the sea have already changed the boundary line of the Greater New York and the magnitude of the complications of the new system of government is so great that all of the city officers have not yet realized the task they have undertaken.
 An interesting and rather amusing situ- ation has developed as a result of change in the boundary line due to the action of the sea. A part of the boundary line on the east as fixed by the charter extends from the southwesterly corner of Flushing through the channel between Rockaway Beach and Shelter Island. Since the passage of the charter the channel in question has been shilted mile west of its original location by the action of the tides and winds on the sand. One entire village that was inside the consolidated city when the charter became law is now apparently outside, and a decision by the courts may be necessary to settle the ques- finn

WORLDS RECORD.
Wizard" Schaefer Ran His 400 Points in Ten
 Innings.

Chicago, Jan. 21-"Wizzard'' Schaefer, in his game this afternoon with Cation in the 1s-inch balk line tournament, ran his 400 points in ten innings, an average of forty, which is the worlds record at the new game.
 The s'Wizzard" stepped off in quarter horse style. making 33 from the lay off and following with clever runs of 34 and 67 At this point Cation had one point to his credit. This did not suit the Rock Islander, and in the next three innings he put together v points, Jake" came with 23, 27 and 25 and at the end of the seventh inning the call was:
 Schaefer 210; Cation S9.
 In the eighth Schaefer made one and Cation scored a goose egg. Evidently Schaefer thought enough time had been wasted on the game, and without hesi- tation went to work to knock out Ives average. It was not until the Wizard had made 106 points that he fell down on a hard cushion draw by hairs breadth.
 Cation could make but four from the leave, then Jacob ran the game out, achieving an average of forty. The spectators were almost wild and seemed as though they would like to carry the winner on their shoulders.
 This afternoons game makes the out come of tomorrow's contest very dubious and Ives will have to play his best to beat his old master.
 Score: Schaefer 400; average l1; high runs 1O6 and aS.
 Cation, total 83; average 10 IL high runs 42 and 24.

UNAvAlLlNG EFFORTS.
Joint Ballots for Senator Taken By Maryland
 Legislature

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 2.-The Maryland general assembly took two more joint bal lots today in an unavailing effort to elect United States senator, making total of seven.
 The principal feature of today's pro- ceeding was the disappearance of ex-Sen- ator Parran and Col. J. c. Mullikin from the list of those receiving votes.
 The outlook for a more protracted dead lock is more pronounced than ever, and in corresponding degree the probabilities of union between the democrats and bolt ing republicans are diminishing, 1t being the policy of the democratic leaders to prolong the present condition as far as pos sble and to aid in the election of re- publican only in case of absolute necessity.

Methodist Conference.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. H.-The annual conference of the St. Johns River district of the Methodist Episcopal church, now in session at DeLand, voted today upon the constitutional question of equal represent ation to the general conference between lay and ministerial delegates, the matter being submitted by Bishop Andrews The prop osition to increase the lay representation failed to pass. The other constitutional matter balloted upon was a reduction of the basis of representation to the general conference, the practical result O.. which would be lessening of the size of the gen. eral conference. This passd by a decided majority.

FRUlTLESS BALLOTS.
Efforts to Cause Stampede for Taylor Was
 Without Success.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. H.-Fifteen fruit less ballots were taken tonight in the democratic senatorial caucus and on the last ballot the situation was about as it was on the first ballot. During the three nights the caucus has been in session 37 ballots have been taken with but small changes in the votes on each ballot. Dur ing the balloting tonight an attempt to break McMillin's line was made by the transfer of votes to Taylor from Hurley so as to give Taylor 2S votes but stam- pede was not caused, McMillin losing only one vote.
 The 37th and last ballot stood. McMillin 39; Hurley 27; Taylor 23. The Taylor gains came from Turley. On one ballot McMil- lin received 42 votes, his highest point The caucus meets again tomorrow after noon, but the probability of long dead lock is increasing.

MR. PLOWMAN
 LOSES HIS SEAT Committee on Elections Will So Make
 Its Report. ALDRlCH'S CLAIMS CARRIES Speaker Reed Attempting to "Get Even"
 With Democrats. FOR THEIR CUBAN FRESHNESS The Minority VIII Make Another Rally For the Sitting Member, But Not Much Hope
 of Changing the Action
 of Committee.
FOR THEIR CUBAN FRESHNESS
Special to The Age-Herald.

tee No met today and decided to report to the house a resolution seating Aldrich and unseating Plowman as the duly elect ed representative from the the Fourth district The decision of the committee was a surprise to every one who has kept in touch with the case, and it's action is denounced as extremely partisan.
 Speaker Reed Mad
 It is believed that the speaker, en- ragged at the minority for trying to bring up the Cuban and other questions that he desired to keep down, has determined in this way to get even.
 The vote in the committee was strictly a party one, the democrats voting to all low Plowman to retain his seat and the republicans in favor of the resolution seat ing Aldrich. Plowman's friends have hopes of being able to impress the house with the justice of his claim to the seat he holds and with the flimsy evidence which Aldrich has introduced in support of his claims The committee will make the report in about three weeks, and as the matter is a privileged one, it will be brought up in the house soon afterward.
 Underwood Gee.
 The case to be considered is the Crowe-
 
 Underwood Grove resents the statement in The Age-Herald that he has been keep ing in the shade and has been on the floor of the house almost daily lately. He says he is sure of being seated.
 Messrs. Vaughn, Hutchins, Hundey, Wells and all the participants and candi- dates in the fight for the Huntsville post office are in town and are working like beavers. The opinion is that Hutchins will win. He is backed by Vaughn, Youngbood and Aldrich, and has been indorsed by the populists. He said this morning that he had been assured that he would be ap- pointed.
 Those Ugly Charges.
 The appointees of the postofices at Tal- ladega, Mobile and Montgomery are still held up in the senate Senator Clay of Georgia, member of the postofice and post road committee, said today he had never heard such charges as had been made against these men. If true they should not be confirmed, and if untrue the opponents should be prosecuted for slander

Not Less Than 10000.

The total number of city employees Will not be known for more than six months because it will take long time to Ill all the places, but not less than 4o,ooO persons will be drawing salaries from che city treasury by July 1. The mayor has been surprised many times already by the number of employees asked for by the vari- ous departments, and has suggested that the estimates already in will take all the engineers and draughtsmen in the city.
 One of the curious facts brought out in the making up of the first budget ia that the only official map of the streets and avenues on Manhattan Island was made in 1907. The city was officially laid out in that year as far north as One hundred and Fifty-fifth street. Beyond that street no official map has ever been made and but few streets have been laid out and opened officially and finally
 The new Tammany mayor VanWyck has made good impression, but the strain is beginning to tell on his nerves. There is no red tape about his office and he tries to see every caller. The result is that he is intensely busy every moment that he is on duty. He is uniformly po- lite to every one, but occasionally speaks sharply to politicians and bores who seek to take up his time. He is man of great nervous energy and works at rate of speed that startles most of his subor- dinates.
 The Tammany policy is economy first of all and there is kicking already from contractors and politicians who expected that money would flow like water this year.
 The clean sweep that was promised and expected has not been made and cannot he unless the republican legislature will pass a bill to amend and modify the civil service regulation. In many depart ments practically no changes have been made among the minor employees, and none can be made under the present civil service system. The rank and file of the Tammany braves are kicking hard, but the situation cannot be helped. There are already more than 15,000 applications on file for places as laborers in the various departments This will give some idea of the rush for patronage. For every place paying salary of s2O00 year or more there are scores of applicants.

Something New Every Day.

Every day some new and novel question comes up in the course of starting the new city government. Most of these matters are of local interest only, but they add much worry to the sorely tried city of ficers. who have to adjust metropolitan laws and ordinances to rural communities.
 The expectation of the sporting element of the population that New York was to be run wide open by the Tammany admin istration has not been realized. In fact, the laws enforced rather more rigidly than they were under Mayor Strong. The moral reform of the city seems to be per manent, and it is not probable that the cond;tions that prevailed prior to 1894 will be revived. That is, vice will not be openly connived at by the police, as it was. The outward show of morality will be main- tained, while the effort to equal Paris Tn certain kinds of vice and depravity will go on in secret as it has been going on since Parkhurst and his crew scattered the de- prayed to every nook and corner of the city.
 The work of making up the first annual budget for the consolidated city has been going on for ten days, and the taxpayers are just now beginning to get fair idea of the vast number of offices to be filled and the enormous cost of governing the second city of the world. It was impos- sible to estimate in advance just what the annual expenditures would be, and the ex- act amount to be spent this year Will not be settled finally until near the end ot the year, but the work of making the budget has progressed far enough to indicate that the total amount to be spent will be near s75 .OOO, ,O0O, rather above that sum than be-

QUAINT VEHICLES
Fashioned for One or Two Passen-
gers, and Very Comfortable.
From the Montreal Star.

FROM lne hOHlTedi otdr'
AS every tourist is aware, a cariole
is a most comfortable little car on two
wheels for one passenger. The seat is
shaped like a shell and nicely padded,
and the traveller goes along with his
feet resting in fixed stirrups at the
in front of him, or dispose of them
elsewhere on the framework of the
carriage The driver sits behind on
box, used for slowing away small pack
ages inside and for taking quite a lot
outside.
A stolkjaerre is intended for two
persons and a driver. 1t is a rough
cart, and again the driver sits behind.
Very often these drivers are tiny lads.
You may get one Of about eight in
some places when the men are busy
at the harvest, and it is usual, when
two conveyances are required by the
same party, to expect one of the traV-
elers to drive the second conveyance.
AS the little yellow ponies know the
routes inch for inch, and as 1t is the
custom when numbers Of conveyances
are going the same way for them to
form a very long procession, there is
not much need for crack whip. A
trille is rarely seen. 1t carries four
persons and Is more or less like a
small English barouche. The way in
which the driver manages to stow his
persons away in a luggage crowded
vehicle is one OF the wonders of Nor
way.

HYMN BOOKS IN A ClSTERN.
Stude euts' Prank Exposes Serious
Oversight of Firemen.

Faston, Pa, Feb. "a prank of stu
dents at Lafayette college served yes
terday to bring to light reckless oV-
ersight in the city fire department.
on Jan. 81. the day of prayer for
colleges. it was found that the chapel
had Toe en- broken into and all the hymn
books. numbering $50, had been stolen.
Nothing was learned of their where
abouts until yesterday, when it was
noticed that the water taken from the
cstern had peculiar color. An exam
ination was made when it was found
that the water had been colored by
the covers of the hymn books, which
had been thrown into the cistern by
students. To recover the books it was
thought best to pump the water from
the cistern, and one of the steamers
belonging to the city fire department
was brought into use. The firemen
were unable to get up steam to start
pumping. For over an hour they con-
tinued their efforts. while nearly 200
students stood by, jeering them. Fin
ally the engine was ordered back to
the fire station. when it was found
that the flues were filed with dirt and
SCOT that had collected during the time
the steamer was in service at the Par
dee hall fire.
The water was pumped from the
cistern and the books taken out. The
loss of the hymnals is not regarded as
serious, when it is considered that
through it a weak spot in the fire de-
partment was disclosed and strength
ened.
