POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.
PInt in aunndary.-Boss Pla

Piatt in Quandary.-Boss Platt
seems to have about the toughest job OF
his life in the gubernatorial business. That
he wants to nominate Lobbyist Odell for
variety of potent reasons there can be no
doubt. Nor can there be any doubt of his
ability to nominate Odell, either. The
thing that is bothering him now pertains
wholly to the question of his future rela-
tions with the powers that be at Washing
ton. If Mr.. Mckinley is reelected Mr..
Plat will be in a bad fix unless he pre-
viously had made a binding deal with Mr..
Hanna on the patronage question, as well
as share in the good things which
the Administration will have at its disposal
in the new insuar possessions. II is not
doubted that if ne wants to do so Plat
can throw New York's big electoral vote
against Mr.. Mckinley, and thus defeat him.
If Hanna does not enter into an agree
ment with Plat now with regard to pat
ronage. and SO forth. in the next Admin
istration the Plat machine would be in
much better shape with Mckinley out OF
the White House. 1t is expected therefore,
that the willy old boss will continue to
make the best possible use Of his opportu-
mites. The State convention will be held
in about three weeks and in that time
WI iIdtL can make q zeal WIN MeSSTo
Hanna and Mckinley if they are inclined to
treat with him. 1t is known, of course,
that the Bliss-Root people are threatening
Mr. Hanna on the other side and that but
for this the Presidents political adviser
long ago would have ended all the uneer-
tainty That exists in New York. II Hanna
finally brings about compromise between
these warning elements it is considered not
improbable that the Hon. Serene Z. Payne
may be selected for the gubernatorial NOM
nation. In the peculiar circumstances,
Payne probably would suit better all around
than anybody else mentioned for the place.
He could be depended upon to guard the
interests Of the corporations and trusts at
Albany quite as well as Odell or anybody
else. With the Plat machine working for
him earnestly he possibly could be elected,
despite his personal appropriately. Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff undoubtedly
would make the strongest candidate OF any
of numerous persons now pulling for it. but
Woodruff is not acceptable to Plat or the
Root-Bliss element. The Lieutenant Gov
ernor has an Independent fortune and
doesn't need to make any more money.
For this reason he might smash good
many jobs that are being matured by Plat
and the other crowd.

To Succeed Woicott.-It appears to be
foregone conclusion that the Hon. Ed
ward Oliver Wolcott will be succeeded in
the Senate by Gov. Charles H. Thomas.
who was the temporary chairman of the
Democratic National Convention, and who
formally notified the Hon. Adlai E. Steven
son of his nomination for the Vice Presi-
dency. Governor Thomas has long been
prominent in the Democratic politics of
the West and is ranked as one of the
ablest men in the country. 1t Is predicted
that he will make a brilliant record in
the Senate and VIII Immediately go to the
front in that body. Senator Wolcott. OF
course, pretends that he has not lost hope
of controlling the Colorado Legislature
that viii be elected in November and
choose his successor in January. But
there is no likelihood that his professed
expectations will be realized. 1t is re-
garded as probable that Colorado will not
give the Democrats as big a plurality this
year as was rolled up there In 1896 when
barely handful OF Republican ballots
were cast. But Mr.. Bryan will carry the
State by at least $4,000 and this will be
large enough to throw the Legislature to
the Democrats. II is understood that II
Mr.. Mckinley is reelected he will take
care of Senator Wolcott. The Coloradan,
1t is said. will be given one OF the ambas-
Scholarships to Europe-probably the place
now held by Gen. Horace Porter at Paris.
Senator Wolcott has a fortune sufficiently
large TO support the dignity of the posi-
ton. and his equipment otherwise for the
Office is unquestioned- 1t is believed that
he would SOON create a sensation among
the European sweils il he should be sent
TO the gay capital of the French as the
representative of this country.

The Hon. John Tyler Morgan was in
Washington a few days ago, and 10 all
enquiries as to his health he declared
that he felt better than he had for ten
years or more. The venerable statesman
has lost twelve or fifteen pounds during
the past year, and his voice IS not as strong
as it once was, but he denies vigorously

The Palmer Announcement-gaeh

me fhimer Announcer ent.-Back
OF Gen. John N. Palmer's announced de-
termination TO support Mr.. Mckinley out

story that probably will find its way into
print before the campaign closes. 1t is
known that numerous agents OF Mr.. Hanna
visited General Palmer before hs made
bis announcement, and that a great deal
OF persuasion was necessary before the old
gentleman consented to make public
declaration of his position. General Pal

The Aim. of christian science.

Not long ago a man died of appendicitis
in New York. He had been attended by a
Christian Scientist, who had failed to
cure the disease by prayer. The healer
went to the funeral, ana was interviewed
by an enterprising reporter on his failure
and the reasons therefor, He said:
Il can't explain it. ! bad perfect faith fiat
he would recover up to the last moment, and there
seemed to be not a shadow Of toibt on his SIDE T.
find the cause for the failure will require some
thought. When you solve problem in mathe-
MATES you work a certain principle which is
inysriable. II you fail TO get the correct answer
you go over Your work TO see where you have
made a mistake
This may sound plausible 20 some people
Physicians experiment and make failures,
why not the healer? The principle in enc
case may not work out correctly, why not
in another? The difference is just here:
If a physician is called to attend patient
and does not understand what is the matter
with him, so that he fails to treat him In
just the right way. the patient may die;
If the physicians treatment, while scien-
tifcally correct, is yet insufficient TO eoun-
teract the power of the disease. death will
be the result; in either case the explana-
ton is as simple and as easily understood
as the rule OF three. Nothing in the
science Of medicine is at variance with
the laws of nature, because all science
is based on certain invariable laws.
which are linked together The same
mathematical principles are involved in
all scientific knowledge. Two and two
never fail to make four, whether the OBJ
jects concerned are pebbles or planets. All
that science claims to do is to relieve pain
and keep people well till the natural hour
of their dissolution comes. Ii is not abb
soluteiy impossible that could science be
brought to its highest perfection, and I'M
derstood by all mankind, the world could
be freed from all unnatural forms of pain,
and in course of time race of men physi-
calIy perfect, and free from inherited aches
and diseases, might be born; because it
is the tendency Of nature TO eliminate the
imperfect and weak and progress toward
strength and health. The physically per-
feet civilized man is superior to the saw
age, bur it takes longer TO evolve him, Of
course. This is the ultimate goal Of medi-
cal science. to free the world from pain.
What is the goal of the so-called Christian
Scientist? This Is what the healer above
quoted says it is:

In her petition to the Circuit Court
MRS. Smith alleges that since their
marriage she and her husband lived to-

without cause deserted and abandoned
her. She further alleges that since the
assertion and abandonment of herself
by William Smith the latter has neg

She therefore prays for an absolute
divorce from the bonds of matrimony
existing between her and the husband
and asks for the custody of Frederick.

and obey has been common talk
among those who know her.
The Nolans were married several
years ago and on the occasion of their
honeymoon they created a great deal
of talk among the people in the Ha-
waiian Islands on alleged account of
the reports of the lurid voyage of the
steamship from San Francisco that
bore them to Honolulu. 1t was said
that the couple quarreled soon after
landing at the dock and there was even
talk of separation then, when the we'd
ding tour had scarce commenced Mat
tiers were patched up and the couple re-
turned to the city.
There never has been much real af-
lection wasted between the woman and
the man since that voyage across the
blue ocean. Both were fond of excite
ment, and neither restricted nor at
tempted to restrict their inclinations
for what they termed good time
However, there has been so much Cos
