THE GAME OF POLITICS.
Bates and Guild Men Hold Meetings.
The Contest in Ward 7.

The Contest in Ward 7.
The Guild-Bates contest was very
much in evidence last night.
Frank L. Dean received a few friends
in his office, and went over the work
Of the campaign. The meeting was not
made up of delegates from any par
ticular ward, but was of a general ma
ture.
Bates men from wards and 6, num-
bering nearly score, got together in
the Office of James Hunt, and discussed
the situation in their respective neigh
borhoods. All reports were of a most
satisfactory nature, and while a hot
fight is anticipated, Bates supporters
will not admit but that they hold the
winning hand
Still another meeting of Bates sup
porters from ward was held in the
office Of Charles r, Johnson This
meeting was smaller than the other,
but none the less enthusiastic.
Both sides are well satisfied apparent
ly. Mr.. Dean says the meetings of ward
and 2 men, held Wednesday and
Thursday nights, are among the best
meetings thus far.
FROM the present outlook, there is
prospect of lively three cornered fight
for representative from ward Z. The
candidacy of David Manning was an
nounced yesterday, and his friends
claim he will be in the lead at the fin
ish. Equally confident are the friends
of Arthur M. Taft and Benjamin Booth,
both of whom are probable candidates.
Members Of the Massachusetts demo-
cratic state committee received a letter
from Boston yesterday morning to the
effect that there win be an important
meeting Of the Massachusetts demo-

Young's Hotel, at o'clock sharp on

Charles L. Schlesinger of 23S Front
street had as close a call as man
could have and live to tell of it, yes
terday afternoon, at the lake. He was
fished out more dead than alive, and
heroic methods were necessary to re-
suscitate him.
The bravery of Lester W. Morgan, a
14-year-old boy, saved SchlesingePs
life.
Schlesinger hired canoe at Coburn's
boat house and padded toward the
south; at point off Sandy Bar. the
accident happened. Just how he over
turned the canoe he does not know or
will not tell.
Young Morgan plunged in and swan
out to where Schlesinger was making
difficult task of saving himself. He
told a firm hold Of Schlesinger and
dragged him ashore. By the time land
was reached Schlesinger was all but
gone, and came too only after a vigorous
rolling on a barrel.
The feat young Morgan performed
was heroic one for him. Schlesinger
weighs about $50 pounds.

1T is little hard on Porto Rican
urchins 10 compel them to wear pants
or something else in public, they having
so long enjoyed the privilege of going
naked. 1t doubtless is opposed to the
whitenan's sense of modesty TO see
children going about in a conCition Of
nakedness, but the natives Of tropical
countries have never felt the need OF
clothing, aud, moreover, they have not
had the means of procuring clothing
themselves if they so desired. Under
the changed conditions they may be
able conform to our ideas OF modesty.
In the mean time 1t would be well not
to deny them the enjoyment Of their
ancient privileges, lest We provoke a
rebellion. Time wil gradually convince
them that some kind Of raiment is a
necessity.

The failure CT the Ang'o-American

BOUNDARY LINE SETTLED
The Old Dispute Between New York
and M,ssaChusetta

Ahe Old Dispute Between New York
and Massachusetts.
The field work for resurveying the
boundary line between the state OF
New York and Massachusetts, has now
something over 100 posts TO mark the
boundary at highway crossings and on
the peaks of the highest hills, says the
Boston Transcript. The line runs in
a north -and-south direction from Con-
necticut TO Vermont. That a resur
vsying was necessary was shown by
the fact that in some places the bounds
were as much as fourteen feet out OF
the way, and in others had disappeared
altogether. 1t will be remem bered
that this boundary line was for long
time source of as much irritation to
the people OF New York and Massaohu
sets as similar questions have s.nCe
become between this country and Can
ada. The present marks were practi
Cally fixed in 1913. still there was not
entire satisfaction, and not before a
territorial suit had been entered before
the congress OF the confederation IN
1877 was the matter definitely settled.

gotiations there has not been one un-

What It Does for the Side Which Il

Victorious.
AS the opposing forces approach
the galIop is given, and closer and
closer they come, says Pall-Nail Mag
azine. The old bvigad .er is in front,
motioning back his men with his sa-
Der. SO as to keep them steady and
together. Suddenly and simulta-
neously, on both sides, the charge Is
sounded. The two cavalries approach
each other like thunderbolts, each man
pressed on Gy those in the rear; the
second line is trying to force its way
into the first. and then-they meet.
The bursting Of the two waves rem
ders one mighty crash 10 heaven. The
dust thickens and under this heavy
pail Of death all knowledge of events
is lost. The cloud sways backward
and forward for full five minutes.
when an officer in command of our
reserves spies an opening; then in be
goes and the enemy is literally hurled
back. The victors stagger forward,

marvellous rapidly the enemy have re-
ing their men into some sort Of forma-
ton, shouting, absolutely shriekins
with excitement the while. The troop
ers rise in their stirrups and swear
we'll, like troopers. Then at them
again; this time they make no mistake,
but drive the enemy entirely from the
field. The result, they have opened out
a way to examine the enemy; a dozen
miles farther and they will see the in

to a slight extent what he is doing. It
is as though they had torn a veil off

prophecies OF the wiseet men falsi1ed.
The burdens Of the black men are little
lighter than they were, and the indica-
tons are that they will soon be as heavy
and even more CALLING than they ever
were, because having tasted freedom
and civil equality with the white man,
the degradation will be all the greater.
No, the negro question is not settled,
