Quigg Says Grosvenor Makes False
Statements.

New York, June 23.-Lemuel E. Quigg,
the New York member of the committee
on resolutions of the convention at
Philadelphia. in reference to a state
ment of General G. H. Grosvenor of

agreed upon by the subcommittee of

the subcommittee Of the committee on
resolutions and every member of that
subcommittee contributed to the work
of making the platform and on every
point and every plank the subcommittee
was unanimous. 1t was also unan-
1mous on all matters suggested but
omitted. 1t is true that document was
read to the subcommittee by Senator
Foraker that contained the language
General GroSVernor quotes. That dOcu-
ment had been prepared in Washing
ton but the committee considered that
it was much too long and much Tesem-
bled political essay. The points made
in that document, however, were fully
discussed at a session of nearly five
hours duration. At the end of the ses-
sion was elected secretary of-the sub
committee and required to put together
the planks upon which the agreement
had been reached.
'I did this and the committee met
again at 1 o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing and went over what had written,
word for word. My draft was altered
in many details and every such altera-
ton received the approval of every
member of the subcommittee. We then
took up other pIanks of minor impor-

Hobo Had Money.

Thomas Hitz is the wealthiest hobo
who has been before the police court for
some time. he was arrested Friday and
had on his person S61.90 and a large re-
volver. He told the police judge that
he had worked in the east and earned
the money and that he was going west
to get more work. He explained the re-
volver by saying that he had it to pro-
tect his money. The revolver was not
loaded but that did not bother Hitz as
he seemed to think he could make a
bluff with it. He was told to take his
property and get out of town.

A Freak of Fortune.

ing of shattered completeness. was
never better Illustrated than in the
transactions which put the Third Ave
nue. line ot New York City into the
hands Of L receiver, and It's subsequent
absorption by the Metropolitan Com
pany. Henry Hart who was many
times millionaire, and whose life and
fortune were wrapt up in the Third
Avenue line, was the greatest sufferer.
He lost all. and as suddenly regained.
not all. but a very comfortable portion
OF his fortune. His case was surrounds
ed by many dramatic features, Mr..
Hart Ia nearly 90 years Of age, but he
maintained. during the time when he
was apparently being hurled from the
heights representing great wealth to
the abyss of almost absolute poverty,
such commanG over himself as brought
t. him many tributes OF admiration

experience which has shattered the In
tellee; ard wrecked the physical powers
OF men as rich and influential as Mr..
Hart has been for many years, and
who were much younger than he when
their reversgs came.
Now comes the sequel-a change

magiclan's skill To-day Mr.. Hart be-
comes rich AGAR. 1t required two
months 10 all appearances; it has
taken only three days to bring back to
him, not all OF his fortune. but wealth
beyond the dreams of any who have
not fixed millions as the limit Of their
OWE wealth. The appreciation in the
value OF the stock of the Third Avenue
corporation, taking the highest figure
and comparing it with the lowest figure
that the stock reached, is nearly 70
points 1t is an appreciation which
makes 1t possible for Mr.. Hart easily
to take care of all his loans. and to
figure upon the present basis a fortune
OF nearly S3.OOO,OOc as his OWE. This ex-
perlance Is probably unprecedented in
financial history.

Achievements Of the Negro.

a welI-kEown negro citizen. Of Co.
lumbus, Ohio, furnishes some interest
ing statements to the discussion Of
what some are pleased to call the race
problem" He directs attention to the
fact that though only thirty-4ive years
have elapsed since the slaves were
freed, the American negro has accom-
plished much, his achievements being
summed up as follows:
He has reduced his IlIiteracy As per
cent
HE has written 800 books.
He has 200 newspapers issued regu-
larry each week.
He has accumulated school property
toIthe value of sl2,OOO,OOO.
He owns church property worth $751;
100000.
He owns $4,000 farms and homes,
worth S725.OOO,oOa,
He has personal property to the
value of SlS5, 100000, and has raised slO,-
100000 for Ills own education
His per capita possessions amount to
$3.50"
All these things he has done despite
the difficulties that were placed in his
way in the former slave states. despite
the prejudice against his race, which
will not be quite eradicated in the time
of many futur, generations. Would a
white race, placed in conditions similar
to those in which the negroes found
themselves at the close of the civil was,
and confronted by the same difficulties,
have accomplished more in the same
time:
In view OF the record which the black
man has made ror hlmsel; withiG the
comparatively short time during which
he has been free 10 make a record, there
seems to be no need of worrying about
the race problem. Give the negro n
fair chance throughout the country and
the problem Will disappear within the
next htty years.

have said:

of the Philippine Islands, and this is
practically settled. There will never be
an issue about it. This is practically
settled. There is no doubt Of our re-

Then, speaking Of the approaching
campaign, and the position which the
Democracy should take in it, the speak
er said:
I'VE want to succeed, we must sue
coed. but to do so we must present
living. aggressive issues, not dead neg

fore the people quadrennially and
preached relief by professions in favor
