seeing the project realized.

SKETCH OF THE SOUTHERN FOE OF
TRUSTS AND MONOPOLlES.

Pen Picture of the Man From Texas
Who Threw Tammany Into Confusion
and Upset Croker's Plans at the Wig
wan on the Fourth of July.
From the New York Herald.
The great burst of enthusiasm for
William j. Bryan which was let loose in
Tammany Hall on July was all the do
ing of one man. His name is James
Stephenson Hogg, and he is a former
governor of Texas. In an instant he
marked an epoch in the campaign for
the presidency that will end in 1900.
He upset all Richard Croker's calcu-
lations. He damaged various deputy
leaderships. He ran away with the
Tigers heart and made it lose its head.
He destroyed Brother Augustus boom
for the presidency. lie showed that
Tammany's sincerity for the gold stand
ard was not even skin deep. He undid
all that has been accomplished by the
Democratic anti-Bryan propaganda in
eight months.

A TEXAS CYCLONE.

1t had all been arranged, bear in
mind, that Bryan, Cleveland and Hill
particularly Bryan-should be ignored.
Bryans name must not be uttered. All
went well until Hogs was called on as
an impromptu speaker to take the place
of one OF the several absentees. Whether
he went on his own accord or on the
suggestion of some of the anti-Croker
Democrats is not very clear.
The suggestion that John C. Sheehan
was at the bottom of it is accepted by
many. Be that as it may, the fact has
gone on record that the Tammany or
ganization, drilled and dragooned for
Van Wyck, cheered Bryan as the candi-
date for 1900 almost to a man. Feitner
called it a Texas cyclone. Whalen said
it wasn't much of a shower, only nobody
had an umbrella. Carroll was too dumb
founded to express an opinion. Croker
will have something to say about it
later. But the fact remains that James
Hogg, of Texas, to whom Tammany only
few months ago was offering the vice
presidency on a ticket headed by Cor
man or Van Wyck, routed the cohorts
Of mammon" in its stronghold so easily
that everybody wondered how it had

WHO HOGG IS.

Who is James Stephenson Hogg, of
Texas?
He is a type of the far Western poll
tician who grew up with the coyotes
and jack rabbits for playmates. If you
frequent the Fifth Avenue hotel cor
ridors you will see him there four or
five times year, the biggest figure in
that meeting place of politicians. He
usually wears slouch hat and frock
coat, and he is quite as imposing as a
court martial or dress parade, because
he weighs nearly 400 pounds and looks
avery ounce OF it.
He is not dandy in any sense of the
term. He is blunt and fearless. He
likes contention and no man can fight
harder than he. He has been called a
demagogue and a Populist. He did more
to injure trusts and monopolics in Texas
than any other man. He had Henry NJ.
Flagler, of the Standard Oil Company,
indicted, and he made demand on the
governors of New York and Florida
that the said Henry M. Flagler should
be surrendered for trial in the criminal
courts. He likes politics, and headed
the Texas delegation for Bryan in 1896.
He can tell u good story. He likes a
good dinner. He is SO years old
Mr.. Hogg was born in Texas, and he
is a self-made man. lie began life an
orphan in Smith county, Texas, and at
that time it was one of the widest sec
tions of the state. He

WANTED LIFE INSURANCE.
A Chinaman's Queer Notion of the
Benefits to BE Derived from
u Policy.

A New Orleans lawyer told the
T;mes-DemOcrat this yarn:
had a Chinese client who went
Lille o N a visit, leaving his laundry in
charge Of his brother. When he re-
turned he was promptly ordered off the
premises. His brother had cOOlIy ap-
prOpriated the business and swOre he
would kill him unless he made himself
scarce. The dispozsessed gentleman
called on me the next day. and, after
hearing his story, | advised him to get
out a warrant Immediately. but he
shook his head at the suggestion, and
said in pigeon English that he wanted
to have his life insured for $1,000. |
was astOnished. What on earth put
that into your head?' | asked. 50 they
makee allie time some Wa1ch.' he re-
piled. After a great deal of cross-Ques-
t~ioning | got at his scheme. lie had in
some name conceived the idea that
insurance companies did everything
possible to prOlong the lives Of their
policy holders, and il followed quite
naturally that if they had $4,000 at
stake they would take particular pains
TO see that he wasn't hurried into the
hereafter by his wicked brother. In
other words they would 'makee some
WATCH and, being a frugal gentlman, it
struck him as a cheap way of securing
a body guard. He was greatly disap-
pointed when | explained that the
companies let their clients take their
own chances, and it evidently i'm
pressed him as most unbusinesslike.
He went away, and at last accounts the
wicked brother was still holding the
fort" .

While general exercise is valuable, it
are too stout, particularly those an
noyed by embonpOint, but specific mo-
tiOns are necessary. Here is a simple
exercise which works wonders. 1t
must be performed with the corsets
and long skirts off. Assume a perfectly
upright positiOn-that is, put the heels
together, the arms by the side and the
head high, and the spine curved to
throw the chest out and the hips back.
Then touch the fioor in front of the
feet with the tingertips, without bend
ing the knees. Rise to the standing
position, and repeat Is times. If there
is much fatigue, raise the arms over
the head before descending, to sOOthe
and stimulate the nerves of the back.
This simple exercise has been known
to reduce the weight 20 pounds in
three months, the greatest effect be
ing over the abdomen.
At first there Will be a difficulty in
reaching the floor without bending the
knees, but this can be overcome by
persistent effort, which adds interest
to what might seem mOnOtOnOus and
meaningless. Drop the arms, and by
a series of up and down motions, like
pumping, the tense muscles of back
and thigh will relent, and the hands get
nearer to the floor. At the end of a
week the difficulty should be overcome
and suppleness gained.
When it comes to diet for obesity, the
rules are so much like those for dys-
pepsia and govt that invalidism is sug-
gested. Primarily the ban goes out
against that wicked trio of sweets, fats
and starches. All are tabooed, and that
means a diet so monotonOusly simple
that many a n lapses into her former
state of indulgence from WEAKNESS and
Impotence.
There can be no candy, no enticing
drinks from the soda water fountain,
no sugar in coffee or tea (although
~saccharine can be used), no desserts;
o can there be anything fried, nor
nayonnaise, nor creamy things, nor
farinaceous Vegetables that grow be
low ground-plebeian vegetables, like
potatoes and beets-must be left out
OF this spartan diet, and butter is for,
hidden. What is there left? Why
this: A cup of hot water an hour b
fore meals, none with food: fresh meats
except pork-and pulled bread, wiz
some indulgence in vegetables ard
fruit. This of course is severe, but II
is only necessary for a short time, and
surely will lower the weight. After q
sufficient number of pounds have van
ished into thin air, a more generous
diet should be gradually adopted
