TAMMANY RIFLES

The unexpected has happened again
IN New York politics. The Democratic
party has named as its candidate for
governor Augustus Van Wyck of Brook
lyn. a brother of the mayor of Greater
New York He is a man hitherto al
most unheard of by the general public,
and unmentioned for the place.
His nomination indicates that Tam
many Hall is in control Of the party
machine Of the state and that the same
agency has been able to effect a COM
promise with any discordant elements
which may have existed.
His election would insure control of
the state as well as of the city to Tam
many and would place that organiza-
tion far on the road to control the next
national convention of the Democratic
party.
AS to the outlook for Democratic sue
cess the New York World has this to
say;
The latest Republican handicaps-the
danger of nominating law suit, ROOse-
and Roosevelt rough-riding over the
ependents-naturally and greatly
encourage the Democrats.
But there is OF may be a handicap
publican nandtcapS. 1t is mighty
dangerous for the Democrats to rely
too much upon Republican blunders for
success. It is most necessary that they
remember their own difficulties.
For instance, last year the Democrats
carried the state by SO, $50. But Judge
Wallace, Platt's candidate, though
beaten by this big plurality, yet came
down to the boundaries of Greater New
York with a majority Of 81, 624 over the
Democratic candidate, Judge Parker.
It was Parker's tremendous and unpre-
cedented plurality in Greater New
York-142 513-that saved the victory to
the Democrats. And that plurality was
due in a large measure to a split in
the Republican party which no longer
exists.
The Democratic vote last year show
ed only a trifing increase-less than
4.0O0-Over the Democratic vote in 1895,
when the Republicans carried the state
by 26S 600. If the Democrats are to
win this year the Democratic vote must
be greatly increased. And this increase
can be attracted only by the record and
the character of the head of the Demo-
cratic ticket.
The right man. must be ''unassail-
able, unpurchasable and unbossable-" ."

M'INTYRE'S DEFENSE.
His Witnesses Present a Modified
Version of His Utterances.

NGTSlOA "a Ills ~ LSGAe4A%SS~
Denver, Sept. 8o-When the court
martial trial of the Rev. Joseph P.
Mcintyre, chaplain of the battleship
Oregon, was resumed this morning
Henry NJ. Courier was called by the
prosecution. He practically reiterated
the testimony of previous witnesses that
Chaplain Mcintyre in his lecture on
August 8 charged Admiral Sampson
with reporting himself within the four
mile limit at the time of the capture Of
the Spanish ship Colon when he was in
reality eight or ten miles distant. He
also corroborated statements of other
witnesses regarding the alleged con-
temptuOus illusions of the chaplain to
Captain Robley D. Evans of Iowa as
Fighting Bob and the statement that
the Oregon was the only battleship that
was honestly built, contracts for all
eastern built vessels being secured
through political pulls"
After the testimony of Mr.. Courier
was finished Judge Advocate Lau-
cheimer announced that the prosecution
had closed.
Attorney Cranston for the defense
then placed J. r. SchermerhOrn, state
senator, who heard Chaplain McIntyre's
lecture, on the state. He testified that
the chaplain said that the Oregon was
one of the best ships af1Oat and that
the eastern ship builders through their
political influence had for years been
ernment, and, having no competition,
had not been careful in constructing
vessels. The Oregon, being the first one
built by a western contractor, received
special attention in it's construction.
He heard no charges of dishonesty in
building ships. The chaplain, witness
said, asserted that at the beginning of
the battle the Oregon was five miles
from the Spanish ships and the Iowa
about three miles. The Oregon at once
started for the Spanish vessels and met
the Iowa going the other way. He heard
nothing about the Iowa going to the
rear. The chaplain referred to Captain
Evans as Fighting Bob,' but there was
no manner indicating contempt. The
! audience laughed when such illusions
were made.
Witness testified that the chaplain
said that when the battle began Admiral
Simpsons flagship, the New York, was
eleven miles away, but during the fight
she came up so that at the surrende
Of the Colon she was within four miles
and that she was so reported. The chap
lain did not state that the admiral re-
ported himself within the fourmile linn
it. Witness said he believed the chap
lain said something to the effect that
the audience was as much entitled to
prize money as Admiral Sampson.

ALGER GETS AN IDEA.

Hospital Service.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Important results

in the matter of reOrganizing the held nos

with commanding officers and medical Of
the fifteen cOlOnels whom he met looking
to the ascertainment of their views on the

The defect of the division hospital, in

great lengths to conceal real illness in or

that the men cannot be properly taken

DIVORCE FOR A KANsAN.
Preacher Gets Into Trouble on Ac
count of Two Wives.

New York, Sept. 30-Justice Garrett
son in the supreme court, Brooklyn, has
granted a decree of absolute divorce to
Mrs. Ada E. Lane from Rev Mr.. John
Lane, pastor of the First Baptist church
of Larned, Kan. She lives at NO. 1873
Willoughby street. and Mr.. Lane was
a revivalist in Brooklyn some years ago.
The plaintiff received permission to re-
sumo her maiden name of AIildeburger
Lane, although an evangelist of many
years standing, only recently was or
dained a minister. The plaintiff charges
him with intimacy with his present wife,
Kate f. Brown, a Kansas girl. From
the testimony produced it appears that
Lane says his wife deserted him about
nine years ago.

dated in February, 1898, he said that
he probably would be married within
the next year to a younger and better
woman than the plaintiff. In a letter

FORTUNE WON BY HORSES.
Willis Foote, of Hutchinson, Rakes in
Much Coin.

Hutchinson, Sept. 3O.-WiIlis Foote, a
former Hutchinson man, is beating the
fleet K1ondiker in the chase for fortune,
and he is doing it all on the race course
where so many cut short their career
by going broke" Last year Mr.. Foote
raked in over $4,000 as the winnings Of
one horse, and instead of going on the
track this year and losing that and
some more, as the average horseman
would have been sure to do, he has a
fair promise of winning fully equal that
amount this season with John Nolan, ''
a 4-year-old horse with which he is
campaigning.
Up to this time John Nolan has gath
cred in 11,475 as beautiful dollars as
were ever won on a race corse, and he
has races ahead that ought to push his
winnings up to $15.0 900.
Mr.. Foote has the horse business down
so fine that the microscope has not yet
been invented that can show any de-
fects in his judgment.

Asking the westward clouds that rise,

OF the coming Rose Of HilO.
Booming cannon by night and day,

Beauty's court in joyful rout,
Heads and shoulders all turned about
To see the Queen of the Carnival,

True to the Queen of the Carnival,
True to the Rose of HilO.
