"CLOW.Nr" CRIES CROKER.
ATTACKS GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT AND
DECLARES THAT BRYAN IS
GOING TO WIN

Richard Croker. at the Democratic Club last
night. blurted out an attack on Governor
Roosevelt Some one told Mr.. Croker that
Theodore Roosevelt in one Of his speeches had
said that Mr. Croker and other Democratic lead
ers had retained attorneys to defend the Ice
Trust. Mr.. Croker was so incensed that he
sputtered and stammered as he said:
That man Roosevelt is trotting around the
country delivering deliberate falsehoods. When
- says hiring lawyers TO prevent prosecu-
tlpn OF The Ice Trust he utters a deliberate lie.
why doesn't he talk about Frank II. PIatt and
j. sloat Fassett who are stockholders in the
Ice Trust? He is going around the country like
a circus clown. cutting up capers and trying to
make capital out Of me. Why doesn't he make
capital out Of Fassett and Platt who are stock
holders ir the Ice Trust? Republican holders OF
stock in the Ice Trust outnumber Democrats ten
10 one"
Here Mr. Croker stopped for breath. When he
continued he said:
Did you read about that incident in Schenec-
tady where laboring man whose hands were
grimy and soied with toll came up to shake
hands with Bryan. He apologized for the grimy
and soied condition of his hands. Bryan took
him by the hand. and told him that his hands
as good as those of any rich man. Bryan
makes no distinction between the rich and the
poor He is a freLd OF the workingman."
Mr.. Croker was told that the Republicans in
tended to try 10 eclipse the recent Bryan meet
ing with a Roosevelt demonstration on the night
of October %. They cannot do It," said MT
Croker. THAT was a meeting that for attend
ance. enthusiasm and honest approval can never
be surpassed Then something else occurred
to Mr. Croker. and he said. angrily;
Il hear that certain manufacturers and en-
ployers Of labor say that II Bryan is elected
they will shut up their shops. They are insin-
cere. They don't keep their places open for the
benefit of the wOrkingmen. They keep them
open for their own benefit. If they close up
their places the people viii open them up again.
Bryan will be elected this time sure The peo-
pie will vote for him; not only the people who
crowd to him, but the silent vote will be
with him also"

ment the substance of propositions advanced by
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang as a basis for
the conduct of negotiations for settling the trou-
bic in China. The Chinese Government has al
ready taken preliminary action looking toward
the punishment of officials guilty of completely
in the Boxer uprising, and, while the text of
Mr.. Congers communication was not made nuh-
lie. ii is believed that the Chinese statement is
addressed to some of the propositions contained
in the French note. being in the nature of coun-
ter-proposals. and proceeding on the theory that
what has been done in the way OF punishment is
sufficient 10 meet the demands Of the Powers

his part. His promise was made verbally and
may not be reduced to writing but Mr. Conger
is already acting In conformity Herewith Most
Of the Powers have accepted the French note

tons between Texas and the city of New York,
and said that they were not as good as they
should be. He urged the merchants to appoint
committee 10 inspect the conditions, that
Northern capital could be invested.
Mr.. Ciahin then said that the people Of New
York would be all the more ready to purchase
stock in Texas, since the prospects and condi-
tions had been so clearly depicted by Governor
Sayers. He introduced Abram s Hewitt. who
grasped Governor Sayers by both hands They
were colleagues in Congress. and have been
warm personal friends for many years.
Mr.. Hewitt told of the work for the relief Of
Jacksonville during the yellow fever, while he
was in the Mayors chair. He chairman
Of the Relief Committee and superintended the
work. He said that one day young man came
TO his Office and gave him eleven $1,000 bills
which he said wished TO give. but desired
that his name be kept secret Mayor Hewitt
refused to accept them unless the man would
give his name in a sealed envelope. not to be
opened unless in case Of emergency. This was
done hour later, and the $1,000 was added
10 the amount.
Some time afterward a check for $4,000 was
returned from Jacksonville. the money was
not needed. Mr.. Hewitt then opened the en-
Velope and went to the giver Of the $1,000 and
offered to return the money him. The man
refused 1t, and asked that il be put to some
use. Mayor Hewitt inquired what the
money could be put TO- and was informed that

Mayor Hewitt said that the man was
dead, and he released from secrecy. and
therefore announced his name. He said:
The man who did this glorious act was Al

OF a like generous nature, and I know myself
that he gave hundreds Of thousands of dollars
for charity without having his name known"
While Mr.. Hewitt making the remarks
about Governor Sayers, he held his hands I'm
that of the Governor and kept shaking it. Both
men vlsby affected. and Governor Sayers

FOURTH ELECTION DISTRICT OF THE
XXIST ASSEMBLY DISTRICT

The election officials of the Thirty-fourth Elec-
ton District Of the XXIst Assembly District are
confronted with a days work November s
that is likely TO swamp them. A canvass by
William s. Bennett the Republican candidate for
Assemblyman shows that there are 1,4S0 voters
in the district 1t is expected that all but about
eighty of these will register. Eight hundred
registered the first two days. The polls are
open six hundred minutes. and in order to poll
the fourteen hundred votes average OF one
vote in every twenty-six seconds must be main
tained all day long. As there is likely to be a
lot of challenging. the prospect is that many
voters who wait till afternoon TO deposit their
ballots will not get their votes in at all in this
particular district.
No other district has as yet reported such
large number OF voters within its boundaries.

AN APlARY.
Where Eastwood and Clover AbOun1
II the Place Where Bees Lay
Up Honey and Thrive.

If it is the intention to make bee
keeping q business, for the dollars and
cents that are in it, it is certainly of
great Importance to consider well the
location of the same. There are locai-
ties, even in the radius of a few miles,
that are much better than others.
There are localities where white clover
is very abundant, and where a crop
is sure every season., whether it is long
or short, while there are others that
are not so, and occasional years only
furnish a crop. Eastwood is another
principal honey resource, and where
this and clover both abound is a de-
sirable locality for an apiary. Bass
wood or linden is a good timber to
cultivate. 1t is very hardy and makes
a rapid growth, and might take the
place of cottonwood, SO extensively
grown in the west. In a valley where
fall flowers are plentiful is a good
point to seek for, as a late flow of
honey is very desirable to place bees
in good wintering shape. Alfalfa is
one of the best honey-producing plants
we have at present, and it would be a
safe place to locate, v if no other
honey plants are in reach, but it would
be all the better if other honey plants
are present. There is a long list of
honey-bearing plants. but we will give
but q few of the principal ones. Miliet
or sweet clover, crimson clover, alsike
clover, mammoth or pea-vine clover,
tulip tree or popular, black or sour
gum, wild a~sters, golden-rod, willows,
maple, buckwheat, cleome or spider
plant, all kinds of berries and all kinds
of fruit trees, whether wild or domesti-
