NEW YORK. Dec. S.-Of all the bold
the past startled the country when
meeting exposure, the most amazing
plot of the kind in a century today re-
suited in the sensational arrest of sew
en- New York men in their homes.
Three alleged confederates of the
New York associates are held in BOS-
ton by secret service men, while the
country surrounding is being secured
for others that may be implicated.

money syndicate ever formed.

of the New York district and his scores
of assistants succeeded in capturing

two cities millions of dollars worth
of the finest imitation of government

plant and obliterated all evidence
against hem and set sail for Europe
with millions of good money.

NEW ORLEANS WANTS 1T.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Chicago
is to have new competitor for the
republican national convention. New
Orleans is in the field and members
of the republican national committee
have been informed that the city has
obtained pledges of 100000 to, defray
the costs of holding the convention
there. Efforts will be made to swell
the fund to $4,000 before the meeting
Of the committee.
Should New Orleans be prepared to
outbid Chicago it will have a small
chance of getting the convention, but
with the money after equal, Chicago's
exceptional accommodations and ad-
vantages, geographical location, to-
gether with a consideration of climate,
will bar New Orleans.

republicans have decided that one
Of the first matters to be brought to
the attention of the legislature is the
advisabi of a change in the law of
regula ting party primaries, which may
give to voters greater liberty in the
matter of joining political parties. AS
the law now stands if a voter declares
himself at the time of registration
for his party primaries he cannot le-
gally join any other party for a year.
Legislation is desired, which will per-
nit any man to join any party any
time he desires. with, of course prop
er restrictions to prevent fraud at the
primaries.

1t is doubtful if the decision reached
recently by a judge in the appellate
court here which enables a man to re-
cover from a bookmaker money lost
while betting on the races, will have
much eIect upon gamblers. 1t
seems to be natural with men to
gamble says a man who is famous all
over the country for his connection
with the race track and no laws or de-

cry over their losses will hesitate be-

! GOSSIP OF GOTHAM ;

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-This has
been an unusually busy week in wall
street. Several large corporations
have paid dividends while many others
are scheduled to issue checks to
stockholders between this and the fif-
teenth. Those fortunate enough to
hold Standard Oil stock will receive
comfortable fortunes, in many instan-
ces as the dividend for the last quar-
ter in the year is $12 a share. Mr.. j.
D. Rockefeller's dividends will amount
to $26,000,000.
Already New York is taking on its
holiday gaiety. Many Of the stores
have started special attractions for
the children and the display this sea-
son along this particular line is great
err than ever One of the large estab-
lishments in Herald Square has re-
produced in wax all of the famous
characters in the comic supplements
Of the Sunday papers and have them
exhibited in the form of living pict-
ures in an immense window space
Needless to say that such tableaux are
great delight to the children and

much as the children. Another store

A production to which society in
New York looks forward with unusual
interest every year is the social regis
ter. This season this little book is
remarkable chiefly for the many
changes in addresses of families prom
inent in the social world During the
last twelvemonth, the register shows
2245 families have changed their res
idences $40 persons have married. 252
men and 1877 women have died. This
year the register has been extended to
Pittsburg and the Southern cities from
Richmond to Atlanta, including Charl-
eston. Savannah, Augusta and North
Carolina cities.
Hereafter the newspapers will not
be able to fall back upon the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit when they wish to make
fight against some defective trans
portation line. 1t has just been an
nOunced that the company has COM
pleted contracts for $1O,575,O 900 worth
of improvements which include the
purchase of new surface cars and 100
new elevated cars at a cost of nearly
$4,000. 900.
For one time New York is following
in the lead Of another city. In this
regard it emulates the examples of
fashionable Chicago hotel and res
