PLEA FOR THE ORGANIZATION MAN
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I in favor Of either Dr.. Low or Bishop
Potter but think a man more familiar with the
technics and ethics of politics would get to work
quicker after his election the Office Of Mayor OF
greater New-York. There are great many e'ec-
tors who do not understand the difficulties under
which ehe organization men labor Every active
man is we'll aware Of the fact that, if respectable
people would stop their quarrelhng and work to-
gether, vice would quickly hide its face" Fully
one-hfth of the criminals, tramps and iHebri-
ates are worse than worthless; one-hfth for
self all the time, the remaining three-hfths doing
all Of the work and paying all OF the expenses.
There are good many independent electors who
do none OF the work, pay none of the expenses and
do not understand why progress is not speedy.
II these men were good and patriotic citizens they
would lend a hand" and would soon learn that
no man do he prefers in everything, that the
'sive and take" problem is always in evidence and
that many men around the leader have TO be con-
suited and satisfied; that men who can be eected

A Cuban NTilkman.

''How many cows there are about the streetsw somebody eXclaims, and then he is calmly informed that the mornings milk is simply being deliv- cred. A bunch of cattle and their driver stop before a house, and the portero comes out with a cup for the mornings supply. It is seen then that the cows are being milked from door to door by the dairymen, for this Is the way the acute Cuban housewives have taken to assure for their tables lac teal supply which is entirely fresh and absolutely pure. Otherwise the guile loving vender might dilute the milk before delivering 1t to his customers, and craftily stir into the watery fluid the juice of the sweet potato to color 1t up to a duly rich and creamy cast. Even with the cows milked before the door one must continue to watch the milkman, for I have even heard of their having a rubber bag of water con cealed under their loose frocks and connected with a rubber tube running down the inside of the sleeve, its tip being concealed in the hollow of the milking hand. Only a gentle pressure upon the bag of water within is needed to thus cause both milk and water to flow into the cup at the same time, The milk vendors of Italy and India have also learned their trade to perfec, tion, for they practice this identical trick.-Woman' Home Companion.

He then began, and recited verse after verse from beginning to end of the chapter. Meanwhile the faces of the committee presented a curious study. AS the young minister modestly con cluded and resumed his seat one of the committee was on his feet instantly, moving that the Hebrew examination be ended.

gave judgment for the defendant, Sheets, amounting to $13685. McKin- ley's client was not satisfied with the issue of the case and took an appeal.
 During the trial of the case McKin- ley had become engaged to marry Ida Saxton, the belle of the town of Can ton, and, while the case was pendinng between Rostetter and Sheets, McKin- ley was getting ready for the wedding tour. He was married in January, 1871. His interest in this important event of his life is shown in letter written a short time before his marriage to Judge Amber, of Salem, Ohio then congress- man from the district The young Canton attorney sent a letter of in- quiry to Congressman Amber at Wash ington and informing Mr. Amber of his approaching marriage.
 The visit of William Mckinley and his bride to the national capital was an eventful occurrence in the young bride groom's life. Another important event in the life of Mckinley that caused him to delay the case of Rostetter and Sheets was his canvass for prosecuting attorney of Stark county. He was nominated, partly as a joke, for the county had been strongly Democratic. The opposing candidate was William A. Lynch. Mckinley won.
 Here is another strange thing clus- tering about this period of McKinley's experience. The opposing counsel in the Rostetter-Sheets case was also this same William A. Lynch. Mckinley won the election, and his bride; Lynch won the law case. Two years later Mckinley and Lynch were again op- posing candidates for prosecuting at torney. This was Lynch's turn, and he defeated Mckinley. The presiding judge in the case, the parties to the suit, and most of the jurors are dead. The little house used as a court by Jus tice Loew still stands near his grocery stores and serves as a small store room
