New York Tribune.
David B. Hills boom for the presiden-
tia1 nomination in 1904 is beginning to
pick at the shell. A twitter has been
heard from Chicago and from other
parts of the. country there are vague re-
ports of talk about him for the nomi-
nation. x It,-is known that Mr.. Hill is
anxiously working to bring about his
nomination in 1904 He has been in
consulta ton with friends in various parts
of the country. The one great obsta-
Gle in his pssth is Richard Croker, backed
by TammaEy Hall. AS long as the war
fare between Croker and Hill is kept up
the latter knows he can never have the
solid vote OF the state back of him. Some
of his friends urge him to keep on fight
ing TamnJsny, and say that he will be
stronger N the national convention If
opposed by 5Tammany than he would be
with Tammany's support. Tammany IS
bitterly hated by Western and Southern
Democrats and at Kansas City, when
Tanimany Inundated Hill, the Western
and Southern delegates gave the cx-
senator a reception second only to that
of Bryan This set Mr.. Hills heart to
stgoing .pitapat," and awoke ambitions
for the nomination in 1904
E On the other hand, some advise him
that he can get along better by ma klnS
peace with Tamnany and having unit
ed delegation from this state. Mr.. Hill
is looking only at the politics OF the
situation and trying to formulate plan
which will suit his own selfish ends best.
OF course, if ne can overthrow Croker
and go to the national convention with
a solid delegation back of him and the
prestige of having VanduiShed Croker,
he will be much stronger. To this end
Mr. Hill has decided that vice in New
York must 60 and he is manifesting
tender solicitude for the moral welfare
of this city.
Mr. Hills whole political energies are
now being directed toward the overthrow
of Croker He is in consultation with the
anti-Croker Democratic leaders here, and
while he will not appear openly in the
fight he will give these leaders the bens-
fit of his advice and counsel He is
urging that an independent Democratic
organizatio be formed, and if this IS
done Hill will grab it to use as club
to batter his way along the path to
political preferment. He has been CIV
en- to understand that his open Interior
ence in the politics of this city would
be resented, but with his oid-time cum
ming he stands in the shadows scheming
and planning and looking ahead to 1904.
Some of Mr.. Hills friends are quietly
sounding the Democratic leaders over the
country and trying to obtain their
pledges. Some are talking little, but 1t
is understood that Mr.. Hill doesn't want
the propaganda talked about yet. for the
fear that his plans may be thwarted.

THE MERRY CHRISTMAS SHOPPER

Now the windows have displays
That enliven and amaze
In a thousand clever ways
They are fashioned to attract
Silks in many a gorgeous heap,
Gems that make the pulses leap,
Mooing cows and batting sheep
With the wolves and tigers packed!
And cigars
1T would be a sin to smoke
And the cars
Built for merry little folk.
And the drums and horns and SledS,
And the beasts that nod their heads,
And the rude
Dolls that pose there in the nude,
Staring boldly through the glass
At the surging crowds that pass,
Bringing bushes to the faces of the mod

Are composed of bisque and always, irt

The English sparrews are now desig-
mated as rats of the ar owing to their
destructive habits. The harsh things
that are said about the English sparrow
are none too severe. Its meanest trait
is that of driving off other birds. Among
those which it whips are the wren, song
sparrow, chipping sparrow, yellow bird,
cat bird, oriole. blue bird and even the
robin; in fact, fighting as it does in num-
bers, it will thrash and even kill almost
any other bird These insectivorous birds
which the sparrow drives away are of
more use to the farmer than he perhaps
realizes. Then the English sparrow preys
upon almost every product of the farm
and garden, from the early fruit to the
ripe fruit and the mature grain. An ex-

All day long he smoked big, black cigars

taken more exercise he would have had
more vitality with which to combat dis
ease, for he was not an old man. Death

there is anything in heredity, he ought
