The Dewey Fund.

Ine dewey uuu'
WHY does the Dewey fund grow SC
slowly? The funds that have thus fal
been sent to Washington as contribu-
tions to Admiral Dewey's home are sc
very small as to be nothing but an
insult to the recipient. 1t is we'll fol-
the Admirars peace of mind that he is
not in the neighborhood. But the
fault is not attributable to any cooling
of the public affection for the hero OF
Manila. He is just as popular today as
he was the day that the news Of his
victory reached this country. The
fault lies with the method. PrOcras
tination and the feeling that what is
everybody's business is nobody's bust
ness are probably as responsible as
anything for the condition Of the fund.
For two weeks the subscription sheet
has been before the public, but the
response has been 80 feeble as to ire
sistibly suggest a general lack or
public interest in the scheme. The
Chicago Journals Washington CORES
pondent reports that In Illinois only
about $1845O has been collected.
indiana has sent 81, Michigan has
sent SIS and Wisconsin only $40,
Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota and
Montana have each dropped in 81.
Oregon has also contributed S.. This
report of the Chicago Journal is nc
doubt somewhat misleading. Several
of the states, as for instance, Wisconsin,
while it may have thus far sent only
1925 to Washington has contributed
considerably more. The Milwaukee
Sentinel has collected something like
$40 which, with what is added to it
from time to time, will be sent to
Washington when the proper time
comes. Indiana, it is understood, has
also collected some 5000. But even at
it's best this is slow work. $500
was set as the minimum of the fund.
At that rate it would require S., 800
from every state in the Union. New
York state has raised S., 900. But New
York is the only state which has any
where nearly approached that mark.
The plan was originated in New York
and it would materially receive more
support there than elsewhere. If in
the midst of the mail which Dewey
receives he has copies of some of the
leading newspapers engaged in en-
gineering his home fund, he must fee
highly honored by the startling success
of the enterprise. Ehe fact is, the plar
for raising the money vas well mean
blunder. If the contributions haC
flowed in so rapidly as to leave Admira
Dewey no recourse but to accept the
gift as the spontaneous free will offering
of the people of the United States, ht
would probably have submitted anC
made no demurrer, although at hear
he was strongly opposed to such
scheme. But now when the circum.
stances attending it's collection have
put it more or less in the light of ar
extortion, which nothing will be able
to conceal from the Admiral it is &
question what he will do about it. Tt
say the least the mistake puts Admira
Dewey in a rather EN- arassing position

In Jail.

Last Saturday morning as the
train for Guaymas was leaving
Gown a Mexicar boy fell from one
of the cars, and suffered scalp
wound. Someone lodged a com
pIaint against John McFadden, the
fireman of the train, charging that
he had caused the accident by
turning the injector of the engine
upon the boy who was alleged to
have been riding upon the forward
end of the mail car, next to the
locomotive. Wednesday evening
McFaddeu was arrested upon that
charge, and lodged in Jail upon the
Sonora side of the line. Up t
this writing he is still incarcerat
ed. bal. which has been offered by
the railroad company has been re,
fused.
Locomotive engineers say that
the offense charged is impossible -
that the injector cannot be worked
to throw water upon the car next
to the tender, and moreover, that
is no part of the duty of the fire
man to keep hobos off from the
front end OF he mail car. McFad
den denies having had connection
whatever with the injured boy fall
ing off from the train.-OdSts.

Gov. Roosevelt on Suffrage.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, the
newly elected Governor Of New
York, is something of "Rough
Rider" In peace as well as in war.
He has ridden roughshod over old
prejudices by commanding
woma suffrage in his inaugural
message to the Legislature. This
has stirred up a great commotion
in New York. No governor of
that State ever did such a thing
before.
Gov. Roosevelt, however, has a
precedent, and a good one. Our
Secretary of the Navy. Hon. John
D. Long, before being promoted
to his present dignity, was Gov. OF
Massachusetts for several terms
and he always recommended woman
suffrage to the Legislature in his
messages. Other Massachusetts,
governors who have recommended
it were Claflln, Washburn, Talbot,
Ames and Greenhalge. But hide
bound old Massachusetts has
always hung back from following
the lead of her ablest men on this
question, and hidebound old New
York will very likely do the same
for some years yet. Sooner or
later. however, all the states are
bound to "join the procession
marching in the direction Of equal
rights,

breif but startling romance: Once
there was a poor young man who
was in love with a rich girl whose

was too poor to buy furniture.
One day bad man offered him

tempted, because he wanted to be
rich enough to marry the candy
ladv's daughter But when he
got to tho saloon door with the

home and on his way found a
pocketbook containing Sl0O,00O,'

RIDES IN HAMMOCK
UNDER CARS

Prefers to Ride Under Pullman Sleeper
/ Like a Gentleman.
Travelling under box car In
hammock is a method of progres
sion few men have INDUCED in
The ordinary tramp is too laz,
and too unimaginative to construc
such conveyance or to use it
made for him. Bnt Harry d
Cooper, who is known under tn,
alias of "Railroad Jack the Ham
mock Rider" has Travelled for ter
years in this manner, has visited
many of the states and covered
over 100000 miles.
He has acquired his alias from {
rudy constructed hammock, which
he invented to assist him in journ
eying over the land without buy
ing tickets every time he wants to
execute change of base. He calls
the hammock his annual pass,
and is now using the tenth of the
series. The trap is made Of heavy
canvas strung on a couple OF
strong iron bars, fitted with hooks
at the ends. These hooks are
fastened to the supporting bar of a
box car or sleeper, and the travel.
er is secure inside the hammock.
Cooper says that it was ten
years ago, while stranded in Den.
yer, Colo, that be devised the
hammock which be has success.
fally used since. His first attempt
was on the night of April 10, 1889
when he took his hammock two
miles east of Denver and patiently
waited at the junction of the Kan.
sas Pacific and Cheyenne division
of the Union Pacific Railway for
an eastbound train.In order not to
arouse the suspicion of those
whom he might meet he wore a
pair of blue overalls, blue frock
and cap, so as to have the ap-
pearance of an ordinary car in
spector. The scheme proved so
successful that since that time he
has travelled through thirty states
and skinned over 100000 miles
of railroad without knowing what
it is to pay car fare.
AS protection from the dust, |
gravel and wind the hammock
has cover which Cooper can
draw over him. He rides more
comfortably on a Pullman than on
4 box car, for the reason that
Pullman car is wider and allows
him TO lie in his hammock at full |
.ength. Under box car he is
compelled to ride in a sitting pos.
lure. Railroad men seldom inter.
'ere with him, as he causes mol
trouble. Besides this his appear |
ance is that of a typical railroader,
and as he traveles almost exclu-
,ively after night he is seldom
detected.
Contrary to the general run of
,he box car, Railroad Jack has
good habits and asplres to be
better. He neither
'moks nor chews and leads this
ife, no doubt, for the same phil
osophical reasons which prompted
Diogenes to select washtub as a
place Of residence. 1t is his pre-.
sent intention to gather data and
