CONCERNING PERFUMES.

Eau de cologne is accepted by hon. .orable and reasonable natures hav- ing high aims and ambitions.
 Lavender numbers it's admirers among natures with high aims and with a love of detail and exactitude.
 Heliotrope generally finds devotees among the dainty, neat and rather unassuming dispositions, who dislike fuss or notoriety.
 violet scented atmosphere makes those who are surrounded by it's in 4-uence religious, affectionate and peace loving. Women of 1ovab1e na- lures are always fond of violet.
 Rose perfume is most frequently used by warm-hearted, imaginative temperaments, who are inclined to extravaganza and have a disregard of the more serious issues of life.
 The hygienic value of a moderate use of good perfume is undeniab1e, and every woman should adopt cer- tain one and remain constant to it. Don't let it go beyond a suggestion.
 Slightly perfume all dresses, under clothing, writing paper, bed linen, beds-that is new and delightful use for delicate sachet powder. A flat pad is used between the mattress and the lower sheet, sofa pillows, etc., but never sufficiently to become very noticeable to others.

is personally acquainted with not only the men in his territory, but the women and the children also. He is the one-especially in the poorer dis tricts-to whom his constituents go for advice and assistance. If boy is 'arres ted for some minor offense, like breaking a window, the mother seeks the captain. If the father should get into trouble the captain comes to his relief. When the difficulty is of se- rious nature the captain goes to headquarters and the matter is ad- justed there. Lawyers are furnished free of cost to Tammany men. The district assembly leaders amuse their followers with picnics in the summer and balls in the winter and everything is done for their entertainment and their comfort. But the greatest in- ducement for voters to stick closely to the party ranks is the patronage that is given to them in the way of work. Besides the great number of public works in New York there are many corporations, like the street railroads and the street paving com panies, that are more or less behold en to the city government. They can- not afford to run counter to the ex- pressed wish of Tammany leader that certain gangs of men be given employment as laborers. The result is that all good organization men are never without work. One of t-4e most significant remarks ever made by Richard Croker was: "You never see Tammany men walking the street,
 Tammany gives away thousands of dollars every year in charity, but every penny of it is judiciously inc vested. No good Tammany man has ever been dispossessed for nonpay- ment of rent, nor applies for aid to the organization in vain. The poor are cared for that they or their friends will vote as Tammany di- rects.
 It is believed by many that Tam things, they say, have apparently les-- sened it's power. The change in the election laws have taken away from it many opportunities of holding the great vote of the city. Croker holds his place by his ability as political fighter and his strength of character. But his downfall would not neces- sarily mean the end of Tammany Hall. Nor would defeat in the may orally contest next fall mean the dis integration of the big organization. Thousands of democrats-member of Tammany Hall-who, it is said, will join the fusion movement do so for the purpose of forming a new Tam many.
 But whatever the motive may be a powerful organization is now being formed to fight Croker and Tammany. It will be a battle royal. No one real- izes this better than Richard Croker. It will be the fight of his lire.

captain. It is his business to get votes. Over him is the district leader, who is responsible to the chief for the conduct of his territory.
 Richard Croker began his political rise as the captain of an election dis trict. Next in command to Croker is John F. Carroll. He, too. was captain of a district. When the chief is not in the city Carroll occupies the desk at Tammany hall. All but two of the 35 district leaders have been election pre- cinct captains. The most powerful of the district leaders is State Senator Timothy D. Sullivan, known as "Dry Dollar" Sullivan. He controls the Sixth district, in the East side of New York, the largest in number of inhab- itants and the most stthoroughly organ ized in the city. It is said that Sulli- van gives4away from $2o, ,OoO to $3O, ,OOO year, and that his public patronage amountsto' 'fully>$2oo,o ,o0o year.
 IWenty-nine of the district leaders hold public offices with salaries rang ing from $1, 800 to 5000 year. In ad- dition to the private work done by it's leaders on their own account, Tam many Hall disburses an enormous amount of patronage eannually-reach- ing, it is said on good authority, not less than $40,OOO,Ooo.
 But where Tammany shows it's great strength is keeping in personal touch with every one of it's members. The name of every voter is known to it's of- ficers. Every time a tenement house dweller moves it is known to the or ganization. Strange as it may seem, the very relative of a man are known. His personal habits and his business are made the subjects of study. All this is the work of the captains of the election districts. If he cannot per- form it satisfactorily, his place is soon filled by competent man. These pri- vate details of the voters life help to whip him into line if he becomes re- fractory. One would be surprised to know the odd methods that are some times employed to gain votes. The vast municipal machinery controlled by Tammany. forces many men in business to bring their employees into line. Any man who has vessel inter- ests or shipping interests knows what a force the dock department is. And so it is in nearly all business which the city can control or regulate.
 But compulsion is not the only method that Tammany resorts to. The captain of the election district

Greater New York Democracy, will unite with the republicans in su- preme effort to wrest from Tammany the city government. +.s ...- = For 100 years Tammany Hall has stood together, gaining strength and power. At times it has met defeat, but never before has it been so threatened from without and with in as it is in the coming struggle. It is crisis that must result in vic- tory, or the downfall of the ancient institution may follow. In the fights of former years Tammany has been arrayed against an outside foe. It has been a battle of the ballots. In the coming contest there are enemies within it's own ranks. It is this that causes fear to the leaders and gives the anti-Tammany organizations hope.
 Without question Tammany Hall is the strongest and most perfectly or ganized association in the world. Whether man be a republican or democrat, he cannot but admire the system that has made possible the holding together of such vast body of voting men who are trained with the discipline of an army to do with out question the bidding of their leaders.
 Leaving aside altogether the polit- icaI points at issue. a glance at this perfectly machine will prove an interesting study to one who ap- preciates system, order and discipline.
 The last election returns showed there were 18o,O0O democratic voters in the old city of New York, compris- ing the boroughs of the Bronx and Manhattan. When it is said that out of this number Tammany Hall con- trols absolutely 10000 it will be seen that the new fusion organization must map out for itself long and hard campaign. When we consider that this vast army is under the di- rection of one man we can under stand the power possessed by Rich ard Croker, the supreme head of Tammany Hall. Croker holds no pub lie office. His only position in the organization is chairman of the finance committee, yet he is as thor oughly recognized as chief as if he wore robe and crown and sat upon a throne in the old, headquarters in East Fourteenth street, instead of modestly taking his place behind the time-honored table known as John Kelly's desk. But by 8 wave of the
The weekly examiner., 1901-06-01


 hand Richard Croker can cast those 10000 votes with as much certainty as he can deposit his own ballot in the box on election day. Within a few hours every one of these voters can be reached personally without the aid of printers ink. Any one of the fammany leaders can on short notice fill the biggest hall in New York, and every one of the voters who is not disabled" physically is ready to turn out in parade, no mat ter what the state of the weather may be.
 How was this wonderful discipline brought about and how it is main tained?
 The Tammany general committee is composed of about 14,000 members, who are elected from the districts in New York county. There are 35 of these political divisions, called assem- bly districts. One member of the gen eral committee is selected from each district to serve on the executive com 1nittee, and is known as the district leader. The assembly district takes the place of the ward in some cities. It is divided into election districts, which in other places are known as pre- cincts. Each election district has a

GOVERNMENT GETS POSSESSION,
Pays Rent Temporarily for Farm
E0GGht Near Indian Head.

The Stump Neck farm In Maryland, re-
Gently purchased by the government from
Mr. Eli Garfield for $27, 1000, will be taken
possession OF by the officers in charge Of
the naval proving grounds at Indian Head,
Md, this week. This farm adjoins In
dian Head to the south, and will be val
liable to the Indian Head officials in MAX
ing the tests of the big twelve-inch and
thirteen-inch guns 1t contains in all 400
acres, is situated on the river between
Mattawoman and Chickamuxen creeks and
is regarded as one of the best farms on
the river.
The purchase Of this property brought to
an end a law suit that promised to be
famous. A year or more ago Mr. Garfield
entered suit in the circuit court Of Charles
county, Nd, against Lieut.. Joseph Strauss
of the navy and the employees Of the In
dian Head proving grounds. praying that
they be restrained from firing shells and
other properties over the land Of the COM
plainaut. Mr. Garfield claimed that the
firing of these shells over his land was not
only depreciating his property in value but
was dangerous to life, and the case would
have come up for trial this fall had it
not been brought to an end, by the action
OF Congress providing for its purchase
AS the purchase money does not become
available until next July, and the Indian
Head officers want the property now, it is
stated they will pay Mr.. Garfield S1o0 per
month until the purchase money is paid
Mr.. Garfield has bought farm on Broad
Creek, not far from cid Fort Foote, Md .
and will remove there.
