PADDY ROCHE ON POLL
TICS AS A PROFESSION

In an opportune article in Leslie's
Monthly for November the author
gives the personal views of the noto-
rious Paddy Roche.
When 1 asked that uniformly sue
cessful candidate for Office, the Hon.
Patrick Roche, better known as Pad
dy," how is it that Tammany contin-
ues to get large majorities on the East
Side. his answer was: That's easy;
we keep in touch with what the aris-
tocrat calls the lower strata Of socie-
ty.' Tammany was organized to fight
the aristocracy. But for the masses
1 never could have spent so many
terms in the Legislature. Tammany
plays to the people. What is it that
Abe Lincoln used to say?? You can
skin a part of the people all OF the
time; you can skin all the people a
part of the time, but you can't skin
all the people all the time
Certainly, when the people see you
are trying to skin 'em. they'll skin
you. For years 1 have spent most Of
my time getting the boys out of trou-
BILE My door-bell is pulled all hours
of the day and night by men who beg
me to hurry to the station-house or
court and go bail for Jimmy the Hook
Mick the Red or 'One-eyed Jerry,
who have been pinched for hitting the
booze too hard pounding some cop
per's nut or some other old thing.
Well, I answer the calls. What's the
result? The boys take care Of me,
and I guess I've served more terms
continuously in the Legislature than
any other man."

there could be no 6ampson-Schley con-

Hon. Salem d. Charles of Boston,
street commissioner of the city, said
the hunt was for him q most enjoyable
outing, and he complimented the COM
pany on its ability to get together such
lot of distinguished and talented
men.
A. B. F. Kinney. said he was used
to doing q little missionary work, and
in order to get the mayor into the fold
Of the fox hunters. he said he would
give him gun if he called at his
store. and he had a fox under his barn
he would let the mayor fire at II he
would not tell about it afterward. The
club needed the mayor because 1t is
getting short Of congressional timber,
and If he has any aspirations in that
direction he must get INTO the crowd
that makes the congressman from this
district.
A. B. Austin of Peterboro told how
he shot his fox, and the speaking
closed with William A. Lytle, who told
how much he enjoyed the hunt.
The members of the party then adj
journed to their hotels and homes to
get rested for the closing hunt today.

ONLY THING THAT UNNERVES
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

The only thing that unnerves Presi-
dent Roosevelt is literary composition.
He brings to the task Of writing a
book the same absorbing and untiring
energy that he displays in warfare, the
chase, and political campaigning; the
work is necessarily combining, and pro-
longed confinement and close occupa-
ton become irksome and facilitating
to a man of robust build and sanguine
temperament, accustomed to being
much in the open air. 1t suits some
people perfectly. One well-known
author Of my acquaintance, not far
from seventy years Of age, works in
his library from twelve to fifteen hours
day. setting foot outdoors but once
a week; yet he has never known
DAYS Illness, and is one of the least
nervous men in America. Sedentary
occupation agrees with him; he thrives
on II Not so the President: yet with
Characteristic grit he has faced the
ordeal of authorship to such good pur-
pose that a dozen works from his pen
have made their appearance within
the past nineteen years. And this in
the course Of an arduous public ca
reer covering almost the entire period
of his literary activity.-From "A Man
of Letters in the White House" by Jo-
seph 3. Glider, in the November Critic.

THOUSAND STUDENTS
CHEER THE TIGERS

Princeton, N J., Nov. IA thousand
students, led by a fife and drum corps,
marched to the university football field
this afternoon to cheer for the team in its
efforts to get into shape for the game
with West Point on Saturday. Univer-
sity songs were sung and cheers were
given for the players.
The practice today was stronger than
any seen on the varsity field in two
weeks The players had much snap and
spirit. and the team work was much
more accurate than for several days.
Fumbling was rare occurrence today.
The first half was open to the under
graduates. but the second was secret. On
Quick openings through the line and the
tackles back plays, the varsity scored a
touchdown against the scrub in the first
half The second half was characterized
by strong offensive playing. but no at
tempt was made to score.
morning for West Point On arrival in
New York the players will be taken up
the river on Alexander Van Rensselaer's
private yacht, arriving at West Point at 2
o'clock

AGREEMENT ON AMOUNT
OF RANSOM REPORTED

Sofia, Nov. Yesterday Mr.. Dick
inson dispatched a messenger with a
reply to the brigands' proposal as for
mulated in Miss Stones letter. 1t is
understood that an agreement as to the
amount of the ransom has been viz
tuaIly established. The settlement as
to the manner and place Of payment
and the surrender of the captives pres
ents the most difficulty. The brigands
are not willing to cross into Turkey to
obtain the money, while the Bulgarian
government would oppose releasing
Miss Stone on Bulgarian soil.
Constantinople, Nov. NO progress
was reported today in connection with
the rescue of Mis- Stone. On the con-
trary. it appears that negotiations have
been temporarily suspended on the Bull
garian side. Effort will be made to re-
sumo them through Salonika.

audience arising and giving expression to
its pleasure by handclapping and waving
handkerchiefs.

considerable applause during It's delivery
and by hearty applause when he closed.
Secretary S. H. Church read his annual
report, which showed a remarkable de-
gree Of success for the institute during
the year Several addresses followed the
report-that by the actor, Joseph Jeffer-
son, appearing to give particular pleasure.

Friends of Walter M. SpauIding

& A number of Republicans who be-
feve that Worcester should have a
business man in the mayors chair
nave started movement which, they
nope, may result in the nomination Of
walter NJ Spaulding, vice president
and secretary of the Grafton & Knight
Manufacturing Company.
Mr.. Spaulding has not signifed that
he is in any sense candidate, but
there are a number of prominent Re-
publicans who believe he would con-
slider the matter if it was preached in
the right way. The argument of men
who would like to see Mr.. Spaulding
a candidate is that he is a thorough
business man, intimately acquainted
with the administration of big
manufacturing plant and that he is
the sort of man Worcester should
have at the helm.
1t is not unlikely that concerted
movement, either by the committee of
rs or otherwise, will, be made in the
near future toward ascertaining Mr..
attitude in the matter.

An article appeared in a recent issue Of
the Epworth Herald relating to the progress
of the Methodist Episcopal church in the
century which has Just passed. The Ep-
worth Herald may be said to represent the
younger element of Methodism. In the
article aforesaid there is a statement to
the effect that when Bishop Asbury beheld
for the first time a Methodist church in
Newport, r. l., with a spire he exclaimed.
well, well. a spire and bell. the next
thing will be an organ and a choir and then
goodbye Methodism." A local church pa
per commenting on this suggests that Meth

ably open the eyes of the conservative old
prelate who thought that Music. which is
the gift OF God and has for its inspiration
divinity, would turn the people called Meth
odists from the object of their worship.

from God should turn people away from His
church. Bishop Asbury was doubtless
