uuct curing the past two years.
He has antagonized the Republi-
can administration in the most ag-
gravating manner, both in his
speeches and by his votes, and yet
he was recently reelected to the
senate. receiving the unanimous
support of the Republican mem
bers of the Bay State legislature.
This is remarkable, con-
sidering the attitude Senator
Hoar has occupied toward great
measures that have enlisted the
sympathies and support of his
party to an unusual degree. Or
dinarily a statesman who thus sets
himself against the views and
wishes Of his political supporters
is relegated to private life at the
first opportunity, and the fact that
Senator Hoar has escaped such a
fate, is a. marvellous tribute to his
personality. That he himself so
regards it is evident from the tone
Of the following letter which he
wrote to his colleague, Senator
Lodges.
Il wish to express, that it may remain per-,
manently on record, my deep and most grateful
sense of your -unfailing kindness and most
powerful. support during a period which, as you
doubtless we'll know, has been to me one of
great trial. I have wed the great honor
which has just come to me from our noble
state very largely to the kindness of men who
have differed from me on the greatest political
question of the time, and to the moderation
and disinterestedness Of the men, who might
naturally and very properly have been expect
ed to be my competitors. do not know any
like example in the history of the country. 1
should seem to go far beyond the bounds of de.
corum if l were to speak ..out what is on my
heart in this NATTER
1t is good of Senator Hoar thus to
acknowledge his deep appreciation
ofthe fact that he has been treated
better than he had any reasonable
right to expect to be, but he can, if
he will, show still more effectually
his realization of the tribute that
has been paid him. Lethim here
after be found acting more in &C
cord with the policies of the Re-
publican party, instead of joining
hands with the most bitter and un-
reasoning of its antagonists in op-
posing measures that are calculat-
ed to extend the influence and per-
petuate the greatness of the United
States as a nation. No Repnbli-
can in the history Of his party has
ever done himself credit in the
long run by lending sanction and
encouragement to the opponents
of Republican principles. Senator
Hoar should reflect on this fact,
now that he is compelled to admit
that he has been the recipient of
undeserved kindness at the hands
of his Republican constituents.

The talk that the hotel keepers
over the state are about to make a
move to secure the enactment of
more liberal divorce laws, is in all
probability nothing but talk. It
might as we'll be, at any rate, since
nothing is more certain than that
the present Legislature will leave
the existing statutes on the di-
vorce subject severely alone. The
old regime that brought disgrace
on the state will never be restored
for the benefit of any class-not
even for those whose necks are
CALLED by irksome matrimonial
chains. Still there is one respect

Moure's bill taking insanity from

A bill now before the state legis

not to be necessary, but the fac

complimentary to certain class o.

It issaid that there is a large
shortage in the lumber supply

Stunning, therefore, that the de-
mand this year proves as great as
it did last year, an advance in price
seems inevitable. This is regrett-

be to retard building operations in
a marked degree, throughout the

Senator Hale wants to throw all

them from forming bad habits,

he has introduced a bill making'it

attached to the bill.

THEIR WANDERING BOY

Since September 25 last a distracted
father and an almost broken-hearted
mother have been engaged in thus far
futile quest for their fourteen year old
boy. From time to time rumors of the
lads appearance at different places have
reached the parents only on investigation
to be found groundless, and nightly in
the vicinity of the Pennsylvania Railroad
ferries Patrick Murphy, of No. q Jeffer-
son avenue, continues his search fer his
missing son.
Young Murphy was until the date mem
toned employed as a messenger by the
Pennsylvania Railroad where his father
has been for years a respected employee.
The boy his parents say, was an omri-
vorous reader OF trashy literature, and
they believe that thoughts Of success IN
other fields were instilled into his MIND
through the stuff he read.
soon after che lads disappearance re-
port reached the parents that their san
had been seen on canal boat bound Tor
Newburg. Another later rumor was 20
the etfect that young Murphy was seen
walking up Montgomery street On inves-
sigati0n both reports were found greSnd~
less.
s4nce then the distractf parents of tas
missing boy have searched everywhere Iuz
him without avail.

NO AlIMony FOR MRS. BISHOP
Husband Declares She Wouldn't Live
with Him and Wants His Freedom

Mrs. Mary E. Bishop, now residing at
No. 172 Mercer street is suing her hus-
band. George w. Bishop. a tugboat man,
for divorce because she claims he de-
serted her. Through her counsel. Senator
R. s. Hudspeth. this morning, she applied
to Vice Chancellor Pitney for alimony and
counsel fees.
The petition sets Tut that not long after
she married the defendant he treated her
in a niggardly and selfish manner as to
giving her money for support to such an
extent that she was obliged to apply to
her mother for the neeessaries of life.
His treatment of her, she declared, was
cruel. She was obliged to leave him and
seek employment in telegraph office.
Bishop answered his wife's bill by way
OF crissbi.l in which he swears that she
deserted him and absolutely refused to
live with him and went to reside With her
mother.
vice Chancellor Pitney refused the ap-
plfcation.

MARY'S NEW ED|FICE
Rumor Says It Will Be
Built Of italian
Marble.

The Rev. Father Ter Woert of st.
Mary's Church yesterday announced at all
the masses celebrated in Institute Hall
that the old church at the corner of Erie
and Second streets, which was rendered
useless by the recent tornado, would be
torn down and a new edifice built at
great cost of material that would make
it the finest church in the diocese of New
ark. Architects are now engaged on
plans for the new church. 1t is to be
built on the site of the old one and is to
extend from Second street to Third street
on Erie. No hint was given of the proba-
BILE cost of the new church, but it is
thought that She figures will be very
large, as the plan is to follow the lines
on which the Cathedral in New York City
is built, and, though Father Ter Woert
did not say so yesterday, it is understood
throughout the parish that Italian marble
is to be used. The plans also include the
construction of a rectory of marble or
brown stone in Second street on the site
of the house formerly used by the Broth
ers of the Institute. This will leave
full lot vacant next to the Church on the
Grove street side and no building will be
placed there because it is to be kept va
cant so that the church will have better
light.
In order that the new building may ex-
tend to Third street, Father Ter Woert
has purchased the lot at the corner of
Third and Erie streets from Alderman
Howeth at cost of s14,5Oo. The lot on
which the new rectory is to stand was
purchased at a cost of $500, making to-
raj -exnendit11re of SIS 900 or thjs amount
Father Ter Woert said ss.000 had been
paid, the fund raised by the recent house
to house collection being drawn upon, and
the rest would be paid by January /.
What the exact amount collected in this
canvass was the pastor did not say, buS
the parishioners were left to believe that
1T was more than the $4,000 required. He
thanked the people heartily for their lib
eral response to the appeal for funds to
build a new church. and said that the
regular collections at the masses We're In
creasing and that the prospects were mos
promising.

To one unacquainted with Eighth ward
Republicanism the little ward convention
held Saturday night In the clubhouse Of
the Eighth Ward Republican Club on Vir-
ginia avenue might have seemed some ma
tional gathering upon which rested the
fate of the nation Mark Hanna and all
his able iieutenants could not have gone
through such political manoeuverfng,
such whispering and such hustling for
votes as took place prior to the caucus.
For one hour and a half after the dele
gates reached the clubhouse the buttons
holing was kept up without intermission.
and when it was announced that the mo-
mentous question at stake was tine seIec-
ton Of two candidates for justices of the
peace even Sammy Dickinson's picture In

gate as Johnny Weastell called out to ths
crowo to go into caucus in the hall up

Fights among Eighth ward Republicans
are always in order. They are not sie
exception but the rule. The efforts Of
Weastell and Decker to cover up the
rows with pretended harmony on the eve

among their own followers.
1t transpired that the row was over Eat

centred upon the exalted office Of Justice

Republicans realize that their ticket has
too much dead weight already in the per-
son of Record without putting on any
more of the same breed. Besides, Kenny
made himself particularly obnoxious IN
his fight for license for saloon at
Virginia avenue and the Boulevard. But:
he was not to be called off. His delegates
put up a strong fight for him at the eau
