Mr.. CROKER CONFESSES
HE NOW FAvORS PULLING DOWN THE
FLAG IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Was UNIFORMED at Time of Former
Interview-Gen. Henderson's Re-
ply to Tammany Chief.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The Herald to-
morrow will say: Richard Croker. at the
Democratic Club last night said: L was
wrong in the statements / made before I
went away concerning the Philippine
islands. / based my belief that We should
not give up a foot of soil our soldiers have
won on information that was not complete.
would not give cents for a man who when
found that he had been wrong, would no,
at the very first chance set himself right.
Such a man would not be fit for either poll
tics or private life.
Publicly l made the statement that
did not believe should give up the Phil
ippines which had cost us so many lives.
am not ashamed now to say to the public
that l was wrong. / am not playing a po-
litical game through that interview. No one
man was responsible for my change OF
mind. While was in Europe talked with
some of the best informed men there or
anywhere else on the subject Of colonial
conquest. / made investigation for myself
/ reached the conclusion that we have no
right at all to keep the Philippines. We
were wrong in the first place to pay $50, =
100000 for them.
'On a. question like this there should be
no dividing line between Democrats and Re-
publicans Humanity, not politics, is in
volved and I am convinced that humanity
as represented by the votes of American
citizens at the next presidential election
will record its horror and execration of the
men and the party who are. for private
gain. putting bloody pages into history. Be-
lieving these things now / go straight to
the public and frankly say that 1 was
wrong.
II said I believed William J. Bryan was
one of the greatest men America has pro-
duced. / believe that very thing now But
that does not mean that shall work for the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan. or that I think
he is the only man fitted for the nomination.
He is as good a man and leader as could be
found. But 1 have no candidate. II is for
the convention to name the man, and the
convention will not meet for at least ten
months. 1t would be travesty on popular
suffrage to pick the candidate before the
peoples delegates meet and 1 shall have no
rart in making such selection. shall not
even try to influence the New York State
delegation for anybody

A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment OF
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing q
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

THE sMoKER AT LAKESIDE CLUB.
The Elements Did Not Deter the
large Crowd from Attending.

Though the elements ragged without
good cheer reigned within at the Lake
side Wheel Club last evening. and the
New Year smoker was more Thoroughly
enjoyed by the members and their guests
than any social function yet given at the
club.
The smoker was altogether stag party
though it had been arranged that the
ladies should be present during the alter
noon. The inclemency of the weather de-
TERED the fair sex from venturing so FAR
from home, but the gentlemen braved the
weather in large numbers, and when at
7.sO o'clock. dinner was announced, the
large hall or receptlon-room was crowded
with q happy party of young men. The
wind blew across the lake with great
force and howled around the clubhouse,
hut it's portals were closed against OLD
Boreas. and even the noise Of his howis
did not penetrate to the cosey interior.
The banquet was a most elaborate az
fair and was excellently served. The
very choicest viands fanked the plates,
and plenty of the concomitants of Christ
mas cheer were at hand, and hence the
evening was in many respects one long
to be remembered.
The clubhouse had been beautifully
decorated with evergreens and potted
nlants. and presented q scene OF entranc-
inc loveliness. This work was superin-
tended by Misses Hattie Ross and Bessie
pace and Mrs. James Armstrong Welsh,
and the members Of the club were loud
in their praises of their handiwork- Music
was furnished by Trimmers orchestra
and added much to the enjoyment OF the
occasion.
Some difficulty was experienced by those
nresent i'm getting back to the city, Tor
the ice on the trolley wires rendered the
lakeside cars almost useless, and omnl-
buses ordered from Richmond had hnally
IN be pressed into service.
