RECEIVED IN SILENCE.

1t does not follow that because Rich
ard Croker's resignation of the chair
manship of the Finance Committee of
Tammany Hall, which carries with it
the leadership of Tammany, was re-
ceived in silence, that he is no longer
respected by the great organization
whose affairs he had directed so long
OF course there are some who believe
that he was forced out of his position,
and that the reason there were no
demonstrations of sorrow over his
resignation was that his lieutenants
were secretly glad to get rid of him
so easily. OF course it does seem to be
rather queer that there were no tears,
no expressions of profound regret and
a very slight manifestation of feeling
at the loss of a leader who had served
the organization so long, and who had
achieved such prominence as it's head,
but the explanation is probably that it
had been arranged beforehand that the
entire proceeding should be of the most
formal character. If Mr. Croker had
arranged for them probably. He knows
how to manage such matters.
The thought has been thrown out by
several of the New York papers that
his retirement is not to be perma-
nent, and that after year he will re-
sumo his old position as the head of the
Tammany organization. 1t is pretty
safe to say that there is no foundation
for anything of that kind. All the in
dications arc that Mr.. Croker's useful
end. If he had not resigned the prob
abilities are that the organization
would have steadily declined in innu-
ence and power,
The mistake that Mr. Croker made
was in permitting members of Tam
many to use the organization to fill
their pockets When the people saw
that they We're being robbed right and
left, and that vice was permitted to
flourish in order that big men in Tam
for change became so strong that
Tammany lost it's grip. The fact also
that Mr.. Croker spent a great deal of
his time every year in England had
the effect of turning many of his own
followers against him. All things con
sidered therefore it is probable that he
was quietly given to understand that
his leadership was no longer accept
able.
As to whether Mr.. Nixon, the new
leader of Tammany. will be as success
tul as MIR. Croker was during the most
of his career no one is in q position
to say with any degree of certainty.
He will begin his leadership with a
firm determination Of raising the Tam
many organization to a much higher
plane than it has occupied in recent
years. on last Tuesday night as the
chairman of the Board of Managers of
the Democratic club-the Tammany
club-he offered a resolution at the
meeting of The board that all gamblers
be warned to resign at once. That
resolution is indicative OF the kind of
a man he is. Besides. as chairman of
the Tammany anti-vice committee. last
year he conducted vigorous campaign
against evildoers of all sorts. lie will
ondeavor to put Tammany on "A high
moral plane and thus win again the
confidence Of the people As TO whether
or not he will succeed only time can
tell

The wanting Adjective.

A school inspector was examining a
class in grammar and trying to explain
the relations of adjectives and nouns
by a telling example, says Tit Bits.
Now, for instance" said he, what
am II" That was an easy question,
and all the children shouted:
"A mani" and then looked around
triumphantly, as much as to say, ASK
another"
Yes; but what else?' said the in
spector. This was not so easy, but
after a pause boy ventured to sug
gest;
"A little man.
Yes; but there is something more
than that" This was poser for the
youngsters, but, after moments puz-
zled silence, an infant phenomenon, al
most leaped from his seat in his eager
ness. and cried TO the inspector:
Please, sir, 1 know-an ugly little
mani"

One Of the most famous of art puz-

have been many guesses, each about
as probable as the other. and none
with any proof to back IL. A Paris
cable says there is possibility thar
the riddle will be solved by the dis
covery Of the arms themselves. An
aged admiral of the French navy was
personally acquainted with the French
consul who negotiated the purchase of
the famous statue. When it was re-
moved to the Louvre the consul got
no credit in connection with the mat
ter. That angered him. and he told
the admiral, Il know where the arms
are, but no one shall ever see them. A."
AT least that is the story of the old

UNNECESSARILY ALARMED.

There are people in Argentina who
are afraid that it is the policy of the
United States to grab all of South
America and annex it. They do not
realize that the United States have
troubles enough now without taking
in hand the turbulent peoples of the
various republics to the south of them
They might be willing to take charge
of Cuba and one or two of the other
islands, but there is no sentiment in
favor of annexing the republics of
Central and South America.
A few days ago our dispatches had
an extract from a paper published in
Buenos Ayres, in which it was an
nounced that the United States were
preparing to grab the South American
republics. The announcement, it
seems, was based upon the fact that
a few Americans have established
themselves in Acre, for the purpose
of gathering rubber for the American
market. From all accounts they have
concession of some sort. So have
Il number of Englishmen who have
located there for that matter Acre,

OF trouble between Brazil and Bolivia
not very long ago. 1t contains about
100000 square miles and undertook to
set up a government of it's own. 1t
has only about $4,000 Inhabitants and
Brazil and Bolivia both sent troops
there to bring the people to terms.
1t is the understanding that Brazil
and Bolivia have settled their differ
ences and divided the territory.
The Buenos Ayres paper makes the
point that business men of the United
States are the vanguard of Americas S
conquering hosts. and that a United
States army and fleet will soon fol-
low the business men who are getting
rubber in Acre. 1t is clear that the
Buenos Ayres paper is unnecessarily
alarmed. The United States do not
want any of the territory of Acre, or
of any other section of South America.
If they are granted enough for canal
purposes i'm Nicaragua they will not
seek additional territory even in Cen
trail America.
The little republics to the south OF
us appear to think the United States
are doing little else than trying to
discover some plan for grabbing them
that has d color of right. 1t is a pity
there isn't some way to make them
feel sure that the United States
wouldn't have them as a gift.

 New Haven will be here on Monday to welcome the fair sex.
 George Davis is still lining out the extra base wallops. The New York club lost one of the greatest of pinch hitters when Davis left it.
 The rumor that Hillebrand, Prince tons former star pitcher, will play pro- fessional ball this year is once more in operation. Nothing in it, said lille brand the other day.

 We are now ill the first division and expect to stay there. We have a difficult game to-day. however, for we are up against Norwich at Norwich. Tomorrow we play in New London.
 "In all my base ball career I have never been put out of the game by an umpire or sent to the bench" remarked Eugene DeMontreville when last in Chicago. A notable record these days.
 The New Works have been shut out three times on their present trip. The Pittsburgs, who applied the third coat of kalsomine, are the only National league team not whitewashed this year.
 To win game with only two hits, why, that is a feat worth putting down in the Hartford Posts sporting writer's joke book. Poor boy, how sad he must have felt when those runs crossed the plate!
 Rowdyism cropped out 1iberally on Wednesday. Manager Barrow of To- ronto punched the umpire, Kelley of Baltimore and Mertes of the Chicago Americans were put out of the game for kicking and Umpire O'Loughlin was struck by a beer glass thrown by a Baltimore spectator

 There has been a good deal of dis satisfaction over the umpiring of play CTS when regular umpires did not put in an appearance and the Hartford management yesterday appointed John +. Gunshanan and Edward F. O'Brien substitute umpires. Each appointment will be well received by the patrons of the game, as the men have thorough knowledge of base ball and the re- quisite sand to keep the players in line. The Waterbury Democrat isn't print ing the league standing, at least it's ab-' sence has just been noted, probably be- cause Waterbury has been so far down in the standing that the paper didn't want to hold the team up to ridicule.

GEORGE VAN HALTREN HURT.
Breaks His Leg Sliding for Base and
 May Be Out for Good.

Breaks His Leg Sliding for Base and
 May Be Out for Good.
 Pittsburg, May 23.-yan Haltren, the Old Man of the OutfieId, broke his leg yesterday in stealing second base for the New York team.
 He stole the base but that is poor consolation. "Van" is out of it for this season, and perhaps for all time. Prob ably he has stolen his last base. Always reliable at bat, he hit past second ill the sixth inning when the Giants needed a run. This was a sac rifice hit or something like it, and Van Haltren went to second Good old man that he is he arrived in cloud of dust, and the umpire had to go to second in order to sort them out
 When he did he found the veteran nursing leg. They tried to straighten it out for him by pulling, but he waved them away.
 Not this time i'-' Us pro- ken.''
 And so it was. The doctor who was called said it was q case of hospital
 'How's that?" asked Van Haltren of luc lIllpI0, " lIu q IW lSIr Ol HIS lace.
 Safe as far as am concerned" said the umpire.
 .'Score me for the hospital said old Van.
 He was carried away from the bag he had stolen at such a sacrifice and removed to a hospital. Van Haltren is about 42 years old. The accident is all the more regret able because it deprives the Giants of good bat and sure catch, and he leaves q hole they cannot readily fill.
 George yah Haltren began his seyen- teenth year last spring as profession al base ball player. His career on the diamond started in California, which is his home, he making a considerable reputation as q left handed pitcher His work attracted the attention of Anson of Chicago, who added him to the staff of the White Stockings.
 Van Haltren did not last long as a pitcher and he went to the outfeld in which position he has done great work for the New York team and supple mented his fielding with heavy stick work and most excellent base running. A man of admirable habits, Van Hal tren promised to be an ornament to the ball field for several years to come and his misfortune will be generally re- gretted.

Dunne's pitching was so slow he was batted out of the box from the start off. Dorsey was the first man up and hit for a two-bag- ger. Dunne gave Turner his base on balls and Murphy hit which scored Dorsey. Tighe went out on a fly to Ryan, Turner was thrown out by Ryan in an attempted steal, Sullivan knocked out a three-bagger, but it ayailed noth- ing, for Manning went out, Denny to Yale.
