1t seems practically impossible for Miss
Helen Gould 10 escape being annoyed by
cranks. The other day negro of the
name Of Lemuel Hill was arrested, for
the second time, for going to Miss Gould's
house and claiming to be her haf-brother.
On his last visit he announced to the ser
want that he had called to get $1,000 900
from Miss Gould. He was sent to the
insanity ward Of a hospital

THE BIG MAN AT PHILADELPHIA.

The big man in Philadelphia a. this
time is Senator Hanna. He is the boss of
the Republican party. He is the greatest
political boss in the country. He occupies
in national politics about the same posi-
ton that Mr.. Croker does in
New York city politics. There are
indications that Mr.. Croker is seek
ing wider field for the exercise
Of his abilities as political boss. 1t will
take him long time, however, to reach
a position of as much power and influence
as that occupied by Senator Hanna. The
Democratic party is not quite so willing
to be ruled by boss as the Republican
party is.
There are other bosses in the Republi-
can party than Senator Hanna, and there
are signs. that they are jealous of him.
One of them is Senator Plat Of New York
and another is Mr.. Quay of Pennsylvania.
1t looks as if Mr. Plat and Mr.. Quay
had joined hands to down the Ohio boss.
In several important particulars the lat
Ter has teen beaten since the Republican
National Committee has been in session.
The Ohio boss is still on top, however,
and the delegates follow him around seek
ing a chance to get word with him. In
the estimation of most Of them he is the
whole convention. In their opinion the
convention will do what he says in re-
epect to the platform, and will name the
man he selects for Vice President.
But il is not 50 certain that he will be
able to name the nominee for Vice Presi-
dent. His choice is Mr.. Bliss of New
York At least the understanding is that
he prefers Mr.. Bliss. Mr.. Plat and MIR.
Quay insist upon the nomination of Gov.
Roc sevelt. The sentiment among the dele
gates is running strongly towards Gov
Roosevelt.
The reason, perhaps that Senator
Hanna is permitted to play so important
part at the convention is the success
with which. he conducted the campaign
in 1896 Besides, he is man of ability
who insists upon having his way in every
thing in which he is concerned. The lesser
bosses of the party would feel more kind
" towards him II he were less dominating
in his manner. They feel that the public
should be permitted to get a sight of
them once in a while. If Senator Hanna
continues to insist upon being the whole
show" there may be trouble in the Re
publican party in the near future.

The complete disappearance of vessels
OF the brig type from the American mer-
chant marine. is noted in dispatch from
Bangor, Me. The brig Te.os of Bangor
was the last of her kind under the Amer
lean flag, and when she was wrecked on
AYES Island near Bonaire, W. l., the
class, in 50 far as American registry is
concerned. became extinct. Formerly
brigs were in favor ana the plumber
oe them was considerable, but of late
years none has been built. The schooner
type has driven the brig out. The schoon-
er is handler and faster than the brig,
and requires only about half the crew
necessary to handle a brig of similar
tonnage. All square rigs, by the way,
seem to have fallen into disfavOr in this
country. The bark, the barkentine and
the ship seem to have had their day.
There are stin a few American square
risgers in commission. but the number
of them is growing smaller every year.
The business is being carried on now prin-
cipally in steamers, schooners and barges.

Lord Roberts in South Africa is at the
head of the biggest and best army that
Great Britain ever put under one man;
nevertheless the depleted Boer forces
have been able to shut off all
communication between him and

One cannot help wondering what
would happen if the Beers had half the
number of men that Roberts has.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Discussing the cotton situation, the
New Orleans Picayune says: while,
however, the start of the crop and its
present condition do not hold out hopes
of bumper yield, there is every reason
to expect considerably larger yield than
last year. a larger yield is actually
needed to supply the deficiencies an gen
eral stocks which win be left by the
present short crop For that reason. far

turn 10 low prices during the coming fall.
