THINKS VAN WICK MAY BE REMOVED.
Croker l., Therefore. Much in the Society Of
President GuEgenheimer.


SARATOGA. Sept. s-Tammany men re-
marked frequently to-day that during the past
two weeks President Randolph Guegenheimer
of the Council had been much in the society of
Richard Croker, and they declared with much
oositiveness that the reason for this lay in Mr..
CrokeTs belief that Mr.. GuRRenheimer might
become Mayor Of New York because OF tho
removal OF Robert A. Van Wyck after investi-
cation Of the Ice Trust charges now pending
against him. In other words. MIR. Croker IL
said 20 be convinced that there is prospect
Of the removal OF Van Wyck. The charges
AGAINST the Mayor. according to Mr.. CrokeTs
friends have impressed the aInmany leader
as being Of a character that cannot be explained
away easily, and It was declared to-day that
MIR. Croker would not be the most astonished
man in the city If after hearing Mayor Van
Wyck should be put out OF ON g by the Gov
ernor, This being his view Of the case. II was
said that he was glad OF the opportunity to
cultivate more intimate relations with Prtsi-
dent Gugeenhemer, who will under the charter
become acting Mayor In case OF the removal
or suspension Of Van Wyck.
Mr. Guggenheimer has been acting Mayor
three times during Mayor Van Wyck's annual
vacations and once during the May or's famous

fectly by those oil the inside, Anyl ", Mr.,
Croker has Mr. Guggenheimer with him great

many men Ia that Mr. Croker wont be as

Stowaway Brides.

Stowaway brides are not as rare at
the barge Office as one would believe.
1t Is quite easy for girl to slip aboard
an outgoing steamer and stow herself
In one Of the hunks below decks, lying
quietly there until we'll at sea. A case
happened a little while ago. the girl
coming to meet her fiance here. As
both were poor, the former resorted to
this perilous expedient to accomplish
the desired end. One would think
that such a heroic endeavor would de-
serve a better reception. But on arriy-
Ing. having been worked very hard on
shipboard for passage, worn and wor-
ried almost to distraction, the maiden
was so changed by her ordeal of love
that when her betrothed met her he
refused to marry her. A few days
later. while being taken back to the
ship for deportation, she Ieaped into

zone night last winter" said a Bos-
ton man, II came up from the south
with two friends Of mine. They occu-
pied the stateroom, and 1 was lodged
In a section outside. They were in q
hot discussion before they retired. and
one Of them had finally become 80
sleepy as to abandon the argument.
l turned finally. as they did, but the
man to whom the argument had been
abandoned did not seem satisfied with
the victory he had won, and when I
left them he was busily engaged In
trying to prolong the talk with his
sleepy companion.
shortly after l had fallen asleep 1
was awakened by some confusion In
the aisle of the car. The train was at
n dead stop. and then l heard the
voice Of the conductor angrily ask Of
the porter. Now, who In thunder pull
ed that bell roper l had a shrewd
suspicion, but deemed 1t safe to lie
quiet and say nothing. Finally the
train started, and as they could not
find out who had jerked the bell rope
the car assumed Its customary night
aspect. Presently the stateroom door
opened and one of my friends request
ed me to step In and decide bet. 1t
seems that he who was not sleepy was
trying to tell the man who was some.
thing to which the sleepy one refused
to listen on the ground that the noise
of the car wheels made 1t impossible
for him to hear. The other man
promptly rang the bell and stopped
the train, as has already been told.
"The bet Of $50 was as to who was
responsible for stopping the train. The

The wide awake one said 1t was the

Keeping Attractive.

A woman can make or mar her at
tractiveness. She can, 10y an utter
disregard Of hygienic laws and neg
lect OF toilet accessories, lose entirely
that charm OF face and form that ma
ture obviously intended should be
hers. 1t will do no woman harm to
know that a few drops OF soothing
lotion will transform pair of rough
hands into soft white ones; that sys-
tematic care of the complexion will
keep it smooth and ward off wrinkles,
and that an eagerness to read clever
books and to know things, and live.
lv interest in the current events of
the day, will brighten the eyes as
nothing else can, except it be the
sympathy of the man she loves. The
woman possessing this knowledge is
far more charming and attractive
thar she in whose path no identifying
whims have ever come. And the wo-
man who applies this knowledge is
the one who will develop into the en-
tertsining, interesting grandmother of
the next generation, as dainty and as
straight and as youthful as was the
mother of the past generation.
