Pennsylvania has it's Quay but the spec tacle of two bosses living in one city is unique to New York itself.
 Boss Platt and ''Boss' Croker are the two figures that rise first on the political Armament of the Empire state today and if you look skyward through the political horoscope of either party you will see one name or the other written with the words, "I boss all.'
 If you are of an inquiring mind and would doubt the bossism of either investigate for yourself. If you doubt that Platt is Boss" ask the democrats, if you doubt that Croker is a Boss ask the republi- cans.
 Boss Croker, the man whom the repubii- cans hate as the devil hates Holy Water, Q was born in Blackrock near Quartertown, County Cork, Ireland on November A. 1S4s. He is the son of Eyre Croot Croker The story is that he descends from the fam fly of Henry Croker, of Quartertown, who was a major and inspector-general in the British army Through him the Crokers trace their pedigree to ancestors of the same name who were people of distinction and renown in Ireland centuries ago. John Dillon CrolSer, said to be an uncle to Rich ard, was a member of parliament for the County Cork, and another uncle, Richard Crolxer, was a captain in the British army and at one time governor of Bermuda.

T. c, Platt has a very cultivated wife and an interesting family. It is said that the two boys, Frank and Harry, or Romelus and Remus, as the democratic papers call them, are now profiting from the political bond business in which they are engaged But when it comes down to the real mat ter how many businesses are there in which politics cannot be made to enter in one way or another?
 The daily routine of MT. Platt's life is very interesting. He has as nearly Ia good time" as any man so intensely busy could encompass. His winters are spent in New York. Toward spring he takes his private car and journeys to his Florida plantation Summer he lives, and has lived for years at Manhattan beach and autumn finds him home again in New York, ready to live an- other year in the same even way.
 The secret of MT. Platt's power is said to be his own personal evenness. He keeps a clear head upon his shoulders, casts his horoscopes correctly and seldom makes a political mistake. In 1881 when he was SUD- posed to be politically dead with Conkling he smiled and went right on. Now he is stronger than ever
 Mrs. Platt is decidedly business woman. The oranges from her Florida plantation supply her friends with fruit. Her other products are well sold. She lets nothing go to waste and though not a society woman, she dresses elegantly and is known for her taste in buying jewels. Mrs. Platt, like the senator, came from Oswego.
 It is claimed that Boss Platt has accu- mulated no great fortune. If he has one he keeps it very quiet.
The age-herald., 1899-05-14


 Those who do not admire the Crokers sheer at all this and point to the family heraldry which read Deus Aliteos, "God Feeds Them" and say that the whole tale and it's results are typified in the motto Substituting for the name of God the people of the city of New York.
 '.Boss'' Croker then, since we have estab- iished him as a boss, is only fifty-six years old a mere lad for a leadership of so many men. Others have had to wait ten years longer, and even Platt, the boss or the other side. is sixty-six But Richard Croker stocky, well knit; bearded, bright eyed, alert and clever, was a leader when other men were just beginning to lead He needed no letter of introduction when others were still unknown.
 Twenty-fiye years ago Richard Croker married Miss Elizabeth Frazer, well-to- do girl of New York, then only nineteen and today Mrs. Croker, still young wo- man, has grown-up family around her

MARRIAGE IN PORTO RICO

There are some queer condi'
tons in the little island that is
now a portion OF tins country,
There are very few legally
married people in Porto Rico,
remarked a returned American
officer. How is thaty" he was
asked. "A marriage license in
Porto Rico costs fifty dollars, "
said he, land the poor people
can't pay it, So most of them
live together without getting
married, However, they con,
slider their relations and obliga.
tons just as sacred as If they
had taken out tifty-doIlar Ii
cense and paid the priest an eX'
ira fee for tying the nuptial
knot. They seem just as hap,
py, too, without the aid of the
priest. They consider them
selves man and wife in every
sense and take care of their
children as we'll as their circum
stances will permit"

Coming I, Outfit in GranseVills TO Explore
Unknown Territory East Of the Hump

|
Some months ago the Dali,
Press published an interview with
Il we'll known miner, who pointed
out a promising field for explora-
ton and prospecting lying east oil
the Hump region.
The following from tho Review
tends to show that this region will
not long remain unknown. 1t is
difficult to overestimate the i'm
portance of this exploitation of
Central Idaho's wilds and the pos
sible results to Grangeville and the
country at large. The account
says:
Colonel William S. Bracket, of
Peoria, Ill, and of Brackets ranch,
Park county, Mont, is in the city.
~ am on my way to Grangeville,
ldaho," said yesterday, Ito start
small private exploration expedi-
ton eastward into a portion Of the
state hitherto unexplored, and ly-
ing east of the Buffalo Hump coun-
try. The objects of the expedition
are geographical exploration and
to make known to the press the
characteristics of a region that is
without maps and unknown.
II expect to start the expedition
by May I, and after brief trip
east shall rejoin it and remain in
the field the entire season. There
will be six men in the expedition.
They will travel by pack train and
will be well equipped. The unu-
sually heavy snowfall makes it
difficult to get into that country,
but we shall press forward as rap
idly as possible. l shall partially
outfit at Grangeville.
"You may expect a large west
ward movement of population,
such as we had about 10 years ago.
Eastern capital, and particularly
Boston capitalists who have been
successful in copper mines in Mon
tana are directing their attention
TO the gold mining regions of
Idaho. ! personally know that
Boston capitalists are intensely in
terested in the remarkable pros
poets of the Buffalo Hump camp,
and are waiting further develop
ments there
The Peoria Journal gives the
following details of Colonel Black
ett's expeditions:
'An expedition of exploration
and geographic discovery is now
fitting out at little village on the
western slopes of the Rocky Noun
tains, which is about to enter a
hitherto unknown range of noun
tains on the headwaters of Salmon
river in northern Idaho, where the
most extraordinary and extensive
discoveries of gold-bcaring quartz
were made by a few wandering
prospectors late last fall.
Among the strange phenomena
in this range were vol
canic eruptions of molten lava and
smoke seen from afar as lately as
1881.
I'm 1862 over SO, 900, 900 in
gold was taken from the placers of
Salmon river, Idaho. In this un-
known range of mountains which
is now to be explored by COM
pany of experienced mountaineers
and hunters under the command
of Colonel W. S. Bracket of this
city, it is believed will be discov-
cred the mother lodes or deposits
of gold from which the marvellous
placers of Salmon river were ages
ago deposited as partial down
wash"
