JULIAN HAWTHORNE
WRITES OF JACOB RIIS

In a long and enthusiastic review of
Jacob A Ris The Making of An
American" in the Philadelphia North
American. Julian Hawthorne speaks of
Mr. Riis as a Berserller possessed of no
small endowment of that sacred rage
which made his ancestors dreaded. He
points out that Mr.. Riis is a fellow
countryman of Hamlet the Dane, but
that unlike Hamlet he does not in the
least illustrate the melanChOliC and inn
practicable temperament of the unfor-
tunatG Prince Mr.. Riis has not allowed
I dare not to wait upon l would, or
omitted to stab the King at prayers or
at any other old place, and he seems
uniformly to be in capital spirits,
though no doubt he has known his dark
hours as every man with a heart and
soul in him must have done 1t is not
without interest to feel that in Mr. Riis
we have a man whose mother was
brought up in a castle where the ghost
was wont to walk. or has seen Hans
Christian Andersen walking the streets
of Copenhagen. Speaking Of the re-
forms that have been effected in New
York city Mr. Riis says it takes lot
Of telling to make a city know when it
is doing wrong. He tells how he used
to watch a stoneCutter hammering
away at his rock for as much as one
hundred times without a crack show
ing in it, and at the one hundred and
first blow it would split in two, and he
knew that it was not that blow that
did it, but all that had gone before to-
gether.

JIMMY ON THE SENATOR
IN u. DEVLIN-B0SS"

They tell story of the. senator that
is to tn point" said Jimmy. When he
was six years old his father who was
a clergyman one day brought home a
toy sword and a Bible He thought ii
was a good chance to discover what tn
boys learnings were. Some showed both
tn sword and tn Bible to him. and said
he might have his choice. Whichever
he didn't take, his sister, who was a
few years older, was to have. Young
Corson, they say. looked at both tn
sword and tn Bible, reached out his
hand toward tn sword, then said he'd
choose tn Bible. His father was de-
lighted though he was surprised, too;
for tn boy was all tn time playing
soldier. 1t wasn't till his sister laughed
at tn idea of her taking a sword that
tn old gentleman concluded that his
son knew a good deal for a boy of six"
And that reminds me of another story
of him. When tn senator was about
Y years old he was sitting in church
one day, and his father, tn pastor,
didn't arrive on time. TIL minutes
went by. and tn people began to get
restless and look round Then, all at
once, young COrsOn got up, walked
slowly to tn pulpit, and began to turn
over tn leaves of TIL big Bible there.
Every once and a while he'd look at tn
church calendar and order of service,
and put a marker in tn book. People
stared at him, but they all supposed
he'd been told to do it. Nobody caught
on till tn old gentleman came in, and
looked so stern and surprised. Then
there was a good bit of quiet laugh
ing. But young Corson didn't mind
that He walked back to his seat sol
emn as an owl. He felt responsible for
tn old gentleman making them wait
and he felt he'd done what he could to
keep them interested and fill in tn
time

Man Who Had Courage to Enter

Rescue Gen. Greeley Can't Be
Charged With Such an 0ffenSe
AMOS B0NSAL AT
ARCTIC CLUB BANQUET
Speakers Reference to the Com
mand Taken BY the Hero Of
Santiago in Greeley Relief Ex-
petition of 1884 Warmly Ap-
pIauded By Those Present

New York, Dec. 2S.-At the eighth
annual dinner of the Arctic Club held
at the Marlborough tonight, Amos
Bonsal of Philadelphia, the only sur
vivor of the Kane expedition in 1889,
spoke in defense of Admiral Schley.
He had been talking about the bravery
of the various men who had visited the
Arctic and Antarctic regions and re-
ferred to the Schley matter in these
terms:
There was a charge against our
member admiral SChley) of being a
coward, the meanest charge that
could ever be brought against any
man. No man who has the courage to
enter the Arctic pack as he did and
rescue Gen. Greeley can ever be
charged with such an offense and
deny it and oppose it,"
The speakers reference to the COM
mand taken by Admiral Schley (then
captain) of the Greeley relief expedi-
ton in 1884 was applauded for some
minutes The expedition brought back
from the frozen north Lieut.. Greeley
and six survivors. Schleys state
Maryland, voted him thanks through
it's legislature and the Humane Society
of Massachusetts awarded him a gold
medal.

POLITICAL POT
BOILING ALREADY
MiIIbury Politicians and Taxpay-
ers Getting Ready For the
Spring Campaign in Midwinter
and Make Predictions

Special to The Spy.
Millbury, Dec. 2S-The local political
pot has begun to boil, and from this
time until the election next March, all
kinds of work will be done by the can
didates and their supporters. To say
that politics at Minbury at this time
is decidedly warm is expressing the
case very mildly.
The most important office at the
coming election is that OF superlnten-
dent of streets. This office has been
filled in years past by the members of
the board of seleCtmen. At the town
meeting a year ago the voters decided
to do away with this three man
power, and leave the question to the
voters themselves Without a doubt
there will be candidates galore as the
position carries with II the salary plum
Of the town The present commissioner
is T. A Dolan and in all probability
he will be a candidate at the coming
election. The real fight for the position
will be at the caucuses that viii take
place, as the general opinion is that
man who can carry his party caucus
stands a good chance of being elected.
Others mentioned are Charles f.
Horne, John Coulter and Thomas Hill.
These men are all qualified to fill the
position and who the lucky man will
be is a question that will not be set
tied until the votes are counted next
March Who the selectmen will be is
being discussed at length in all parts
of the town The present board is com
posed of DIR. Robert Booth, A. II,
Bachelor and A. c. Mott. DR.. Booth
has stated that he does not care for
the office another year and much per
suasion will be needed to get him to
run. DR. Booth has been a member of
the board for a number of years and
is the only Democrat, the other two
being Republicans. Should he decide to
let his name be used, without a doubt
he would be elected as he is popular
with alb parties and classes. Mr..
Bachelor stands a good chance Of re-
election. Mr.. Mott was elected by
small majority last year over P. c.
Paradis and, as he has fulfilled his
duties in a most able manner, it looks
on paper as though the old board
would remain in office. This is only on
paper, however, as there is all kinds
of undercurrents. The French speak
ing people claim that they should be
represented on the board and this with
very good reasons. The residents of the
West End of the town claim that they
should be REPRESENTED, while the Cit
liens Party is not dead by any means.
This situation will show that with the
disgruntled factions pulling together,

BELMONT WINS HIS
FIGHT AGAINST O'GRADY

New York. Dec 28.-The board of
elections this evening sustained the OBJ
lection to the certificate of Joseph F.
OGradv and threw out the objection
against the nomination of Perry Bel

seventh congressional district, and or
dered that the nomination Of Belmont
be filed and his name be placed on the
official ballot under the emblem of the
Democratic party.
The~obiectiOn to the nomination of
O'Gradv is ordered for the reason that

Gates of nomination Of Koag and Ward

He made a vigorous defense and de-
MED six of the seven murders with
which he is charged. He declared that
in the other case the man killed was a
native spy who had been tried and con-

he always fed and treated his prisoners
as well as he was able.
