i don't know what the tenn Demo-

Mr. HinrichSen cheerfuliy when that topic
was mentioned. "TAere may be a settling
together OF the Democratic factions b.
tween now and 1s0f, but it won't come
from the dictatiOn OF a few Democrats
whe have bern voting the Republican
ticket for the past five years. The Democ-
racy IN Illinois is pretty well united. The

Boston Is experiencing a revival In the
! brilding Industry, and already several
more big structures are rising or the plans
are being made for them" said Mr. c. 9.
Adams, hardware dealer. at the Raleigh
yesterday. For the last six months there
has been a gradual decline in the price o.
steel and hardware because the figures
had gotten so high that building opera
tions were at a standstill. Since the cleo
tion the prices have started upward
again, but nevertheless our business Is
booming"
Mr.. Adams IS on the way 10 Richmond
to attend the convention Of the National
Hardware Association. "a topic OF much
interest now to Boston," he continued. "is
the proposed construction of a subway
under Washington street to accommodate
the street cars that are now going
through the subway under the Boston
Common. That thoroughfare will soon be
occupied by cars that run over the eIe-
waited roads, now nearing completion. Al
though Washington street is narrow and
crooked and lined with tall and heavy
buildings the engineers are confident that
they can safely bore a big hole through
the ground far underneath. II may not
follow Washington street all the way, but
pass under some OF the streets just back
of Washington street"
Judge II. Woodruff. Of New York CITY,
in former days a prominent lawyer Of the
metropolis, but now retired from active
practice, is at the Ebbitt, making his Gus
tCmary visit to Washington en- route from
his Northern home TO warmer Southern
climate. The aftermath OF the election
in New York." said he yesterday in the
course of a very interesting conversation,
has a humorous side 10 me. Politicians
and moralists are vieing with on another
TO reform the East Side. But the reforma-
ton of the East Side is not the work OF
day or year. 1t could come only from
a long period of earnest endeavor as the
refuse Of European countries is being con-
stantly dumped into that section Of tha
city"

Alto Is now arranged on a. basis where u
can be run almost forever, the entire rev.
enue going TO the adjacent university

on the farm That number has been sys-
tematically reduced till now there are
about three hundred horses. including
about eighty brood mares. The purpose
is to turn out trotters. in which the farm
has been eminently successful. Sore Of
the more conspicuous Stanford cots are
