attained in this terpsichorean di-
version Mr.. Chalmers, the managing
editor, entered the room.
"By the way, Chalmers" said Hes
tor, as he paced up and down the
room, why wouldn't it be good
scheme to let the women of New York
assume entire charge of the Record
for q week. Get some well-known
society woman to act as editor-in-
chief, and advertise for women
writer's of all kinds. OF course you
will have to look after the mechani
cal and routine part of the paper,
but let them collect and write all the
stuff. Select young women to report
the horse races, prize fights, the po-
lice news, the courts and to handle
all departments of the paper. They
could run just as much or as little
foreign and out-of-town stuff as they
pleased. They would write all Of
the editorials and draw all of the
pictures. Great schemc-don't you
think 500"
Mr.. Chalmers said it would prob
ably drive him into an insane asylum,
but that it was nothing short of an
inspiration. He agreed to outline a
plan and to confer with some pro-
gressive women he had in mind.
While they were discussing this
project, word was received from Mr..
Palmer j. Morton that though very
busy he would be pleased to see Mr..
Hestor about four o'clock that after
noon. The tinanccr was not unac-
quainted with the crratic correspond
ent of The Record, and while not in
sympathy with the aims or methods
of that paper was not inclined to in
cur hostility by refusing the request
made by Hestor.
At four o'clock the Hestor automo-
bile wheeled in front of Broadway
Office building, and few minutes
later the famous correspondent was
ushered into the magnate's private
office. This apartment was severely
plain.
Mr., Morton was a large, broad
shouldcrcd man, with Il close-cropped
bcard which must have once been
black or dark brown. Shaggy grey
eyebrows stood guard over eyes of
steel blue-grey; eyes which looked
you full in the face as if to bid you
tell your inncrmost thoughts; and to
tell them quickly. Enormous hands
were lsnotted with muscles of which
the foreman of u railroad section
gang might be proud.
81 am glad to see you again, Mr..
Hestor. Take chair. You will
find that one more comfortable. l
trust you do not intend to interview
me. You know my rule" Mr.. Nor
ton looked sternly at Hestor, who
smiled and replied that he had long
ago abandoned that enterprise as Il
/ vain pursuit.
"I have called on Il matter of bus
iness," said Mr.. Hestor, briskly, az
he removed his gloves, and leaned
f, slightly forward in his chair. "You
are a busy man and | will attempt
! to state my proposition as concisely

takes occasion to finally and officially
dispose of the reports which have found
currency from time to time inspugning
the healthfulness of the park he says:
I'm view of the sensational reports
charging that the park is an unhealthful
tract, it is proper to say that during tie
past year it has been free from serious
disease, and has fully maintained lis
long record before the war with Spain,
and for the period subsequent to that
time for exceptional healthfulness.
The commission asks an appropriation
of $4,000 for the coming year. stating
that hereafter there will be no neces-
sity for appropriations for the work OF
establishing the park beyond those re-
ouired for it's maintenance, and this Will
not exceed $4,000 per annum.
The commission constructed great
many roads during the year along some
of the most interesting lines on the bat
tlefield. 1t has twenty gun carriages
ready to place, which will make sixteen
Confederate battery positions marked On
Missionary Ridge and a total of 30 guns:
The State Of Ohio has appropriated
s35 600 for a State monument and twelve
regimental and battery monuments on
Chattanooga field. and $4,000 for
monument on Missionary Ridge and for
bronze tablets. Maryland has appro-
priated $1,000 for a regimental and bat
tery monument on Orchard Knob.
The commission points to the fact that
the park is rapidly becoming of practical
use to the government. having served as
the camping ground of the Seventh cay
airy and the Third Battery last year. af-
fordine one Of the most perfect field
camps in the country.

The friends OF Hon. William Henry
Boaz. of Albemarle, are urging him to
stand for the Office Of State Treasurer
against the incumbent. Colonel Asher w.
Harman. Jr., in 1905.
Mr. Boaz is well known throughout
the State, and is a man of distinguished
ability as a hrancier having long been
at the head Of the House Committee on
Finance. 1t is not believed that Mr..
Boaz has any present intentions of en-
tering the race. as he 5icares but little
for public office. though: his friends say
he would make an ideal treasurer.
There has been much talk Of Senator
Keezell entering the race, but he says
he has no idea now OF so doing. as MS
private affairs are claiming much OF his
attention.
1t is stated upon authority. that in the
forthcoming bill to redistrict the State,
the Third District will be untouched.
There is a very strong feeling IN the
district against any dismenlberment, and
all the delegation in the Legislature.
with one exception. are opposed to any
change. The only movement in the dl
rection of any cutting up of the Third
is that which may be made before the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
By Mr.. Toney. who is said to favor the
cutting off of Manchester and Chester
field and adding them to the Fourth.
If this should be done. it Is likely that
a large delegation from across the river
will appear before the committee to
protest against such action.
