TAMMANY HALL
 SKETCH OF WIGWAM

By Alfred Henry Lewis in the Philadelphia
 North American.
 Yesterday I received letter asking about Tammany Hall My correspondent wanted to hear the past and present of that or ganization; its makeup and machinery; its work and about the money it collects and spends.
 Tammany Hall is the dominant. influence of Democratic politics of Greater New York. Richard Croker is its chief-being head of it's finance committee-and no Czar is obeyed with less of hesitation or discus sion. Tammany falls into two parts; the benevolent and the political. The political organization confines itself to the Manhat- tan Island or the limits of Old New York. 1t does not extend itself-albeit it controls them-to Brooklyn, Staten Island and those other regions, annexed three years ago to the greater city.
 There are 60 GOO members. With these the organization controls 300, 900 votes. It counts them and casts them as steadily and surely as ever sheperd sheared sheep. The gov ernment of political Tammany Hall re- sides in and abides with thirty-five Head ers," one from each of the thirty-five as- sembly districts. These are chosen at the primary elections each year. Richard Cro- ker is the chief of these thirty-five lead CTS. His word is the absolute law to each leader, and he commands them as a gen. eral commands his troop captains.
 Each leader has district captains and others under him. The last officer-a sort of sergeant of democracy-to whom a dis trict leader looks, exists in every city block. Before an election complete door to door

BY>L AVS FOR THE
 SUMMER GIRL
There Are Ever So Many Things Which win Determine Her Popularity With
 the Young and the Old.

Don't in choosing the field for your cam paign in 19OO let anybody persuade you that you like rusticity-woods streams, farmhouses, clotted cream" and all that. You don't.
 Don't forget that what you want is plenty of hotel piazza, a large and public beach for bathing, and golf links within view of the hotel Insist on having them
 Don't omit your athletic outfit, however, much you may suffer from inertia. It is be- coming and convincing.
 Don't assume that you are the only orig inal imported brand of summer girl and advertise yourself such There are al ways other varieties, just as good" and if you make the mistake of introducing an element of competition you will find they are stopping at the same hotel with you.
 Don't introduce yourself by chatting pleas antly of your last seasons social triumphs. The people who knew you then will appear later in the season and your prestige will suffer accordingly.
 Don't complain because men are scarce 1t is law of nature.
 Don't try to form man trust for your own exclusive benefit. Like all trust origin ators, you will become unpopular
 Don't be disagreeable to the Dull Man be- cause he failed to bring down those six clever friends of his on Saturday night. The successful woman must be a hypocrite.
 Don't fail to take an interest in the mis- sion church. The rector is almost sure to have a young assistant before the summer Is over.
 Don't forget that last winter, in a burst of hospitality, you invited all your girl friends to visit you Because they are sure to come and it will under any circum- stances be difficult to conceal your disap- pointment.
 Don't fail to cultivate some little eccen- tricity or trade mark so that the people who gossip about you will not be obliged to remember your name It's just as well to be known as 'the girl with the disgrace fully short bathing suit as to be called that Miss Higgins
 Don't get engaged to men you are likely to meet next winter. Your own wit should teach you to avoid that danger of monot- ony.
 Don't come home without an engagement ring. But that's a tradition.
 Don't forget that you are the central figure of national life and that everybody is looking at you. Because it's as we'll to keep your illusions.

have not only as an invariable rule made Investments that should ensure their be- ing vastly rich whatever might occur, but they have generally been so acquisitive, even in the hour of dire disaster and flight, that they have taken many portable val uables away with them by way of consola- tion as they could carry Cases have not been wanting where they have been so greedy that they have been caught as a consequence of being overladen and thus hampered with booty.

nold boundless material prosperity, if you will; forsaking the teachings of Washing ton, Jefferson and Jackson; bow down and worship Mckinley and Mark Hanna if you will put the dollar above the man and launch this country into colonial imperial ism, servitude to foreign f1nancee and com plication with European and Asiatic pow CTS. If you do not accede to our bidding, poverty and not progress will be your lot Which will ye choose?"
 Well, in the first place, we do not be- heve the south is going into poverty be- cause she repudiated Mark Hanna and Me- Kinley, politically All of the superior nat ural advantages of the south will remain, despite the Republican party, and, if these gentlemen and their packers retire from the arena, others will take their places and develop the riches of the south. They have no idea of letting go their good things, even if Bryan be elected, and they know it.
 But suppose 1t really was a choice be- tween what they call progress and poverty as 1t is not-a man who has a spark Of patriotism and spirituality would not he's itate to run the risk of poverty and keep his soul clean The curse of the time is sordid materialism and a forgetfulness of the higher life. Even in temporal affairs man must not "quench the spirit and all who do so land eventually in the pit. We do not live by bread alone" The mere, transient things of this world are as noth- ing compared with eternal gain. Money is a necessity, in human transactions, and mighty potentiality for human progress; but the love of money is still "the root of all evil"
 If these gentlemen choose to ally them selves with Mckinley, Hanna and the ''in- visible empire of wealth." laired in New York, London, Frankfort, etc., they have a right to do so. They also have right to put their views before the public; but let them do so as Republicans and not as Democrats. We will give them a respectful hearing and hold fast to what we deem the nobler cause We do not think it is in their power to crush southern prosperity and condemn the south to poverty. But even II they had the power, for a time, we would emerge gloriously from brief torpidity and prove ourselves "all OCT the ills of life victorious"

Progress or Poverty
rom the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.

From the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
 The Manufacturers Record of Baltimore publishes some letters from J. B. Killebrcw, John L. Williams, T. G. Bush, D. A. Tompkins, J. W. Fries and John C.. La than, so-called Democrats, who publicly repudiate Bryan and the Kansas City plat form, preferring Mckinley, Mark Hanna and the Philadelphia platform. To all in- tents and purposes these gentlemen, how- ever prominent, estimable and distn- gushed, are no longer Democrats They are Republicans, and, as such, their com munications will be received. MT. Killebrew is an agent of one of the railway lines, with large European ownership. MT. Will Hams is a banker, more or less connected with Wall street or its affiliations. MT. Bush is connected with railway and indus trial syndcates at the north. MT. Tomp- kins is a promoter of cotton mills. MT. Latham is New York cotton broker. They are all evidently advocates of the single gold standard and imperialism. Their inter- ests are with the classes who constitute what is called the money power," here and abroad. We grant that they have been instrumental in placing millions of dollars at the south, and we are duly grateful. But these gentlemen did not exploit the south for sentimental reasons. They primarily were looking after their own usufruct or those who employed them. This was, and is, quite lawful and proper. They saw what they considered a fertile field for invest ment Our benefit was purely incidental. If it had not been a promising venture they would not have come here with their mon- ey. We do not see that the election of Bryan would endanger their holdings. We rather think it would benefit them.
 But these gentlemen appear somewhat in the guise of tempters. They take us up on a high mountain and say in effect: Be-

poll of the city is made. The politics of every voter is scheduled. The night be- fore election the thirty-five leaders meet at the Fourteenth street wigwam. Richard Croker presides, and the meeting is behind closed doors.
 One after the other the districts are called Each leader in turn gives the es- inmates he has made of next days vote, and the majority for or against the ticket that may be looked for. Nine out of every ten leaders will get within four or five votes of the result twenty-four hours be- fore the votes are cast or counted, such is their accuracy. The majorities run into thousands, too. A leader who is twenty votes out of the way in his estimates is bad leader" and quickly goes back to the ranks again.
 After the reports each leader gets his share of money for the next days work. And, speaking of money, it costs pretty penny to run a New York city election. The estimate gallops somewhat like this: There are 1425 different voting precincts in the city. There are ten workers" about each polling place on election day. These are paid $5 apiece, or $50 for each precinct. This item alone is more than $70,000.
 Then there are on an average three car riages at each precinct to bring in the votes of the lame, the halt and the blind. These are each $10 day, or an average of $50 precinct, or a city total of about $42, 0O0
 The printing bill of a campaign, includ- ing advertising in newspapers, amount to $75, 900.
 There are halls and bands and carts for cart-tail orators to hire. During the last three weeks of a campaign there will be an average of fifty meetings each night These cost money, which, with other and incidental expenses, make a drain on Tam many for fully $7.500 day during those closing three weeks. The short and the long is that money goes like water, and any campaign made by Tammany, con- ducted with a decent style and not calcu- lated to bring the blush to the cheek of Tammany leadership, will cost every splinter of $500,000.
 It comes high, but 1t counts. When the polls are closed, one may lean back on the secure conviction that not a Democrat remains unvoted-not a stray sheep of the party has been overlooked. The normal proper Tammany plurality in the city of Greater New York is 7S,000 votes. If Bryan takes fewer than that ito the bridge the ticket will have run behind
 If you desire a descfiption of Tammany Hall in its building and origin, suppose we take an afternoon stroll towards Four teenth street and Fourth avenue On brigth afternoon, Fourteenth street bustles briskly. From Union Square comes the clang of many cable cars. An elevated train rumbles uproariously into the station at Third avenue. Smart crowds hurrying into the matinee ct sAD Aeeasay jostle

It Is pretty well known that, fearing cap ture and imprisonment, Dom Paul Kruger has sent hundreds of chests of valuables out of the country for safe keeping. Pos sessed of great amounts in securities and real estate and owning quantity of actual gold, he has converted all into cash and has stored it in trunks to be carried over the border and preserved for him, or his descendants.
 The history of the buried treasure of monarchs, if 1t could be obtained, would make a valuable chapter in the worlds records. What became of the wealth. for instance, of the NapQleQps? Where did they hide 1t; how have they mahaaged ff6 procure it since? Is it's possession, and its hiding, a family secret divulged from father to son and unknown except to them?

Patients will be received and treated promptly, and ns one cent will be required for treatment until the patients say that all desire and craving for theeir former habit is destroyed. The patients should remain (though very few do) under the observation and direction of the doctor for a week or more. The treatment can be given in secrecy and is so mild that the most delicate have taken it with little or no suffering. In fact, the patient hardly realizes that he is under treatment until he finds himself cured and full of joy at his liberation from the most exacting and cruel masters that ever dominated slave Dr. Westmoreland has never failed to relieve all of the great number that have taken his remedy for these enslaving hab- It's or diseases Why would any one con- tinue in bondage when he is guaranteed a cure? How could any physician devote his entire time to this one speciality and make this proposition, unless he knows he can cure you?

 Poor Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, al- ways had an uncertain seat-South Ameri- can potentates are apt to have-but he took things quietly and collected butter fles and moths and labelled them, and he also collected fossils and bullion, and the pretty yacht that he kept with steam up for years was ballasted with specie.
