MR.. CRoKER's TRUST PICTURE.
HE INCLUDES THE ICE MONOPOLY IN IT,
AND SAYS ITS GREAT"

Tammany district leaders hocked to the wigwam.
in East Fourteenth-st, yesterday and eommuned
with Richard Croker, who spent several hours at
the long table in the front room. where the Tam
many Executive Committee usually holds its meet
ings. They received orders to make all the noise
possible in their districts between now and the
election. There is to be great ratification meet
ing at Tammany Hall in the week before the cleo
ton this year. and there is to be no united Tam
many parade.
Soon after noon yesterday Mr.. Croker walked
across Fourteenth-st to a restaurant where he
had luncheon. In his temporary absence workmen
placed two wooden frames in position either side
Of the entrance to the Wigwam and spread on the
frames large posters with the heading Down with
the TrustsI" Below the heading was a picture of
coal scuttle. with the inscription: The Empty
Coal Scuttle. 81 25 a Ton" Below this were pict-
ures to represent various trusts that are to be
'downed" A barrel. marked Sugar Trust: a
can, marked milk Trust; a shoe marked
Leather Trust" and gas meter marked Gas
Trust" were in line with pair of ice tongs and
block of ice marked ice Trust"
When Mr. Croker strolled across the street after
luncheon, he scanned the posters with the air of
an expert. We'll" he said isn't that great! And
they've got the Ice Trust in the bunch too! That's
all right We're against all trusts"
Mr. Croker evidently reads the speeches of Gov
ernor Roosevelt. and is angry with the Governors

out in some attack upon the Governor, and yester-
day he sad

Kingston, N. " Oct. 23.-Despite the serious
strain Of the numerous speeches made yesterday
Governor Roosevelt found his throat in excellent

his trip. 1t was junction of the West Shore
and Ulster and Delaware railroads. and moving

He was inclined to laugh over the numerous at

day Relating to the one made in front of the
Young Mems Christian Association rooms last
evening in this city he was told by Captain
Joseph Dickey that the element that created the

on in an orderly manner, I'll drive them away by

that the country through which he was going

BUSINESS MEN TO OBSERVE TT
DAY OF THE GREAT SOUND MONEY PA
RADE WILL BE PRACTICALLY
A HOLIDAY

So far as the lower parts of the city are con-
cerned November g. the day of the great
Sound Money parade. will be observed as holi-
day Many merchants and business men have
already intimated their Willingness to close their
doors upon this day, and as the enthusiasm over
the parade increases as the time for 1t ap-
proaches there is little doubt felt that there VIII
be general suspension Of business in the down.
town districts. The National campaign man
ayers favor the suggestion and have issued the
following bulletin:
The Republican National Committee has received
many suggestions that the business men OF I>e% M
York should see the propriety OF cIoSlns an ms .ns
Roosevelt parade on Saturday, November The

treated as holiday in fact as well as IN eTeet Be BE,

the business men have so near their heartS 1 s. Inc Inc
committee trusts that the suggestion Will pe gen
orally adopted.
General Anson G. McCook, the grand marshal
of the parade, is busily engaged in assigning to
the different clubs their places in the line and
the streets upon which they are to form. He
expects to issue his orders in the next day or
two He says that the parade will go off as
smoothly as in 1896, and that schedule time will
be adhered to-
The march up Broadway will begin promptly
at 9:3O q. m First will come the mounted
McCook, his aids and two hundred gentlemen
riders as an escort. Then will come the Elk
ecutive Committee forming a hollow square
around Governor Roosevelt. From all the side
streets east and west up to Twenty -second-st
the various divisions will fall in line wholesale
drygoods men leading the first brigade and the
Produce Exchange organization probably lead
ing the second brigade.
President Mckinley could not his way
clear to accept the invitation which was sent
to him to be present for the parade but he is
evincing keen interest in all the preliminary
proceedings, and communicates frequently with
those who are managing the details. 1t will
be due in fact to a suggestion made by him
that union labor will be represented in the
parade Requests have been sent to the labor
unions to furnish representatives, and the out
look is that the labor division will be one of
the strongest in the line.
This afternoon the Committee Tickets will
meet and make provision for the distribution
of tickets which will entitle the possessors to
seats on the grandstand. Among the organZa-
tions perfected yesterday were the Lumbermen's
Club and the Electrical Industries Association
The president of the latter is E. S. Keefer;
vce-president Allan S. Bakewell; secretary. H.
B. Kirkland; treasurer, G. L. Patterson. and
marshal H. l. Shippy.
