CRoKER,S CONFESSION.

The most remarkable feature of Rich
ard Croker's testimony before the Ma
yet committee was his easy and uncon-
cerned frankness. There were some de-
tails he could not remember" and did
not tell, but the essential facts were
confessed with amazing assurance, and
for this he had the gratifying support
of applause from the galleries. The
chief difference between Mr.. Croker
and his accusers is in the choice of
words. He dislikes harsh names. He
does not call himself a boss, but he
acknowledges that he has more infu-
ence than any other man in New York,
and that no officers are appointed or
nominated without his consent, and no
measures attempted without his ad-
vice. He does not call enc money col
lected or the offices distributed or the
business turned over to the private
firms with which he is connected
'plunder." He is simply trying to get
an honest living, like you. Mr.. Moss"
He thinks that when his party comes
into power it should make a clean
sweep of the offices. No matter how
efficient a public servant may be, he
should be bounced in order to make
room for a Tammany man who will
help Mr.. Croker to get an honest liv-
ing.
All public officers, political or judicial,
he says, should be expected to contrib
ute to the campaign funds of the par
ty, and they do contribute. He did not
think the sums individually 50
large as Mr.. Moss indicated, but $1,000
or $4,000 was not large in Mr.. Croker's
! estimation. When he had placed these
men in office, he considered them his
friends, and he expected them to turn
all the public business possible over
to his private business firms. How
much money is collected from the pub
| lie officials he did not know. He made
no accounting of it. 1t was simply
taken in and paid out.
Comment upon this testimony is su-
perhuous. Ii presents nothing that was
not known before, but it shows Gro
| ker's confident feeling Of security III
the position he has assumed. He makes
no pretence at hiding the facts, but
boldly avows them. He believes or af-
1 fects to believe that he is doing q per-
| fectly legitimate business in running
! the entire city of New York for The
benefit of his private purse and the en-
richment of Tammany Hall. The cleo
ton of Mayor Van Wyck has convinced
him that a majority of the city voters
agree with him in this view, and that
he has nothing to fear from a frank
| confession of his business principles.

MISS HILLS IN TOWN,
One of Americas Best known Miniature
Painters.

Miss Laura aCoombs Hills, one of
Americas best known miniature
painters, is in Worcester, painting a
miniature of DR.. Charles D. Wheeler's
5-year-old daughter. She has come
from New York, where she had a sue
cessfuI season this winter. Her ex-
hibit of miniatures with the Society of
American Artists in New York at
tracted widespread attention. In the
April Puritan the first article has the
title "A painter of miniatures" and is
a sketch of Miss Hills and her work.
Harpers Bazaar will take up miniature
painting as done by Lucia Fuller and
Miss Hills.
Miss Hills is a charming person to
meet, a slender little woman, of me-
dunn height, brunette with large, eX-
pressive, dark brown eyes and a wom-
anly grace which puts any one who
talks with her Immediately at ease.
In the spring of '97 Miss Hills was
elected a member of the Society of
American Artists, of which only few
women are members, and which had
never before admitted a miniature
painter. She also belongs to the So
ciety of Miniature Artists, which has
Just been formed in the United States
and numbers but II members. She has
received many prizes, among them a
medal offered by the Art Amateur for
the best miniature of a selection shown
in New York in January 1897.

4 ELATE or hot TOASE

There are several Jefferson birthdays
this year, as many Jeffersonian bar
duets and a fearful and wonderful va
riety of JeffersOnian principles. If the
sage of Monticello takes cognizance of
the astonishing theories now imputed
to him on this earth and the strange
disciples who call him master and pro-
phet, he must have come to doubt his
own identity and wonder what man
ner of man he was while in the flesh.
The Tammany brand of Jeffersonian
democracy has just been exploited, and
tonight comes the Bryan style. The
assignment of toasts and speakers at
the Chicago platform dinner suggests a
pleasing diversity of reflections.
George Fred Williams is to discuss
trusts and monopolies." The peculiar
fitness of this selection is obvious.
George Fred knows all about his sub
ject from dire experience. He has q

WORCESTER THEATRE.

Hoyt's "A Milk White Flag" with its
dazzling spectacular effects, gold braid
brass-buttoned, snowy uniforms and
attractive girls, comes to the theatre
this afternoon and evening.
There is plenty of go" life and
sparkle in this popular comedy, and
the satire on the militia is of so good
natured character that it is appre-
ciated by the most enthusiastic of our
citizen-sOldiery. The piece is enlivened
by spicy dialogue and plenty Of ludi-
crous situations, and the specially feat
ures are new, novel and entertaining.
The scenic equipment and all costum-
ing is entirely new this season. and A
brand new musical program is intro
duced. Mary Marble impersonates
The Orphan" and the supporting
company includes fifty performers. all
competent entertainers.

monopoly of the silver sentiment in
Massachusetts and an undisputed mo-
nopoly of democratic leadership as well.
He knows how disastrous monopoly is
because under it's baleful influence his
party vote has declined amazingly from
year to year. In the matter of trusts,
too George Fred is an expert Nobody
is more willing than he to let Smith
walk and trust TO luck or Providence
for the 81 or Sc cents that somehow
have never got into the Bryan silver
dollar. He has another trust, tender
and true. that sometime he may be
nominated for president or vice-presi-
dent on a platform that nobody can
stand on but himself.
Thomas jefferson" probably the
easiest subject of all, has been given to
John Clark Ridpath. This gentleman
is reputed to be an historian, but he
will have no use for history on this
occasion. All he needs to do is to dress
up Col. Bryan in Thomas Jefferson s
old coat, pin the Chicago platform on
his breast in place of the declaration
of independence, and 10! there is the
grotesque theatrical counterfeit the
spectators have been waiting for, Mr..
Bryan is a good actor, and those who
are not convinced by the illusion of
course can have no appreciation Of art.
John S. Crosby's topic is civic liber-
ty." Here again the orator has an easy
] e no 81
platform means depriving the courts Of
power to execute their DEGREES or COM
mand public respect and making them
subservient to the whiting changes OF
local party sentiment.
Judge James P. Tarwin is to speak
of the power of organized wealth"
This appears to be a mistake. What
does Judge Tarwin know about his
subject? Evidently this was the place
to bring out Mr. Coin Harvey, who is
superb as an organizer" of wealth.
He has no rival in the delightful art
of coming it out Of nothing. His form
of wealth has been thought unsubstan-
tial and elusive by some, but a jaunty
disregard for facts in favor of fancies
has always seemed one Of Mr.. Har-
vey's most genial and ingratiating
traits to the Bryanites. 1t may be in
ferred that Judge Tarwin himself has
some talent in this line but he
cannot have acquired Mr.. Harvey's
light and airy style Of juggling with
truth, for that comes only with per-
sistent practice.
'Labor's hope" is the onerous subject
confided to Mr.. Jerome O'Neill. 1t has
been suggested that this means Col.
Bryan, but the American federation
once decided otherwise. and there is
more labor than hope in trying to find
out what it does mean. Col. Charles
H. Jones will talk Of "militarism,"
which does not exist in this country,
and Col William J. Bryan will speak
Of democracy. which threatens to be-
come extinct also, if the party is in
tended by that name. Taken by and
large, the dollar diners seem likely to
get their moneys worth of plain, or
binary toast served up in such orig
inal and fantastic shapes that nobody
can tell whether it is cake or dough.
