NEW YORK STREETS NOT NAMED
FOR PATRIOTS.
Principal Thoroughfares CT the Great
City Recall To-day Memories of
En7mies Of Liberty-Leadina Jour.
ney Suggests Change.

The first member Of the board OF
aldermen who wants to pull the tail
out of the British lion might do SO
by changing the names OF some Of
New Yorlz,s streets. The board Of
aldermen have the power of changing
,lle names of streets at their own
sweet will. This being the case, it
seems strange that the men most
prominent as Tories or Royalists at
tne time Of the revolution are honor
ed by having some of the principal
lhoroughfares CT the city named after
Them.
Oliver Delaney was arrested by the
liberty boys as a traitor, yet we have
four streets recalling and perpetuating
streets, which ran through the Delan-
q farms, and James and Oliver
streets, both complimentary to two
members of the family, who were
traitors to the cause Of liberty. Will
liam Bayard was a. Tory merchant and
an ancestor of Thomas Frances Bay
ard. Bayard and Hester streets, which
him snd his daughter Thomas Bar
clay, a traitor who fed to Nova Scotia
to escape Imprisonment and execution,
was clergyman of Trinity church, the
hotbed of Toryism and Barclay street
still bears his name. Lindley Murray,
the Tory grammarian, has his name
rerpetuated in Murray street John
Mnnrn Of
toms, and Moore street was named
after him and still bears his name.
He was Tory.
James Rivington was the boldest
spoken Tory when New York was oc.
cupied by the British, and in further.
ance OF the cause of the king he start.
ed a newspaper and continued it until
forced by Washington to suspend it
after the British evacuation. Riving.
ton street remains to remind people
OF the atrocities practiced by English
soldiers, mostly at the instlgation of
and upon information supplied by
Rivington 1t was due to him That
hundreds of patriots died of starva.
tion in the overcrowded. impromptu
church in Nassau street, and in other
and worse prisons on the Hudson
river side at Eleventh street
Peter Warren was brother-in-law
of Rivington and fully as strong in his
hatred and denunciation of patriots.
He was honored by having Warren
street named after him.

3 .nedict OF Years Gives Bachelor
Friend Some Pointers on a Subject
Of Worid-Wide !nte:est-SuppIy OF
Tricks lnexhaust;ble.

The bachelor and the married man
were talking of all sorts Of things,
and finally the conversation got
"round to that allabsorbing topic,
woman. Il cont See why SO maay
Of you men are ruled by your wives,
said the bachelor 'YGu are not firm
enough with them. I'd like to see any
woman who could make me do any
ching | did not want to do
That remark could come from a
bachelor an6 no one else" said the
married man. Il know better. A long
time ago the poet sang, He is a fool
Gho thinks by force or skill to turn
the current OF woman's will and
The song rings Just as true to-day as
it did in the seventeenth century.
"1f woman wants her own way she
is bound to get It. She has q thou
sand tricks she may play, and not al!
mans acuteness or alertness will find
her out. Nearly every woman is moro
or less of an actress, and in that lies
her power to dupe the other SEX Il
>.Ae is fatty re. ed what she wants,
she is not In the least discouraged.
She promptly lays her plans to get
what she desires by hook or by crook.
First she tries tears, generally 4
most effective weapon in clearing
path to her own way. But tears be-
come less effective the more sbey are
uaed, SO she next tries Indifference. n
hat fails she tries the martyrlike
nose, which consists in going about
with sweet smile, but with an injur-
cd air, and is generally enough to
dr2ve man to buying a house and
tot II the woman wants it.
Then there is the scheme of max.
ing the man think that her way is hss
way. This is rather delicate task
and can only be accomplished by
woman of rare skill but if she under.
stands her husband thoroughly it can
generally be brought about. Some.
times woAan may drop remarks
about the beautiful things which her
father used to give her, then she sighs
and says plaintively that OF course
she cannot expect to have all those
things now she's married, and, after a
sad pause, remarks that she has her
husband. and that is enough for her.
She may also say casually that some
one has declared that her husband
was stingy, and 1t is no such a thing,
for he always gives her everything
she wants. Don't you, Pet?' And
tLen Pet does"
But If you know all these tricks"
said the bachelor, II should think Il
would be pretty easy for you to get
the better of your wife"

JEFFRlEs AN EASY VICTOR.

niH9 TISnt.
San Francisco, Aug. 15.-The battle
Tor the heavyweight championship of
the world at Mechanics pavilion be-
tween the champion, Jim Jeffries, and
Jim Corbelt ended in the tenth round
with a victory for Jeffries.
The fight throughos1: was revela-
tion in regard to the Improvement of
Jefries in speed and skill and the first
six rounds were great disappointment
to Corbett's admirers, who looked to
see him make much better showing.
II was not until after the sixth that
Corbett developed any skill in evad.
ing Jeffries' rushes and getting inside
to deliver any effective blows. Even
IN the last rounds of the light, when
ne hit Jeffries repeatedly in the mouth,
ne seemed to have no Furnishing power.
Jeffries outclassed him completely
IN furnishing power and even in the
qulckness Of the blows. Had the fight
lasted the limit the decision would
have gone to Jeffries. as he forced the
pace right from the start, and had he
not been checked by Corbett's repeated
clinching he would have fought un.
interruptedly throughout each round.
From the first it was generally re-.
garded as hopeless case for Corbett.
He made g gallant fight, but he never
stood show to win.
According to the official count 10 500
people viewed the contest between
Corbett and JeffTies. The gross re-
ceipts amounted to $62,340. OF this
sum the fighters received 70 per cent,
or $43,63S, which was divided rs per
cent to the winner and rs per cent to
the loser. For his victory Jeffries is
enriched to the extent of $32, 1928, while
Corbett got $10,910.

SLAIN BY EX-EMPLOYE
MILLIONAIRE MANUFACTURER OF
OSHKOSH, WIS.,, KILLED BY
DISCHARGED MAN.

Oshkosh, Wis, Aug. 19.-Thomas r.
Morgan, the millionaire sash and door
manufacturer, was shot to death dur
ing the day by Frederick Hampel, a
discharged employe.
Three shots were fired. each bullet
imbedding itself in Mr.. Morgan's body.
Hampel was overpowered and hurried
off to Jail.
The wounded man was hurried to
ST. Mary's hospital, but died before he
reached there. The excitement about
the big Morgan sash and door plant
was intense and the news quickly
spread over the city.
Mr.. Morgan went to his office in the
morning as usual and about 10 o'clock
was about the grounds. Hampel was
not noticed by the manufacturer but
had been seen in the vicinity of the
factory and by some, it is said, was
under the influence of liquor. The
shots were fired from behind, each en-
tering the victims back.
At noon it was discovered that Ham
pei. the assassin. had hanged himself
in his cell at the police station.

CHlCAGO'S BIG FETE
Centennial Celebrating the Per
manent Settlement of
. the City.
LARGE SUMS FOR DISPLAYS.
Week of September 20 to October
to be Devoted to Great
Spectaclcs.

The Northwestern railway announces
that Chicago's Centennial Jubilee, 20 be
given this fall, is beginning to attract at
tention throughout the Western States
From September 26 to October l, the city
fctes such as have been equalled only in
the days OF the Romans.
Two of the most popular features on
the program will be the military parade
for President Roosevelt, and vivid re-
production of the burning of Chicago.
The parade will include United States
troops from the forts of the west, the
state militia, crack regiments from diff
ferent parts of the country, and other
uniformed organizations.
In the mimic cont1agration, five hun
dred tons OF Roman fire will be ignited
simultaneously on the tops OF the taller
buildings within the area burned by the
great fire in 1871. The skyscrapers will
be especial vantage grounds Tor the dis
play. and from the DeKoven street home
Of the famous Mrs. O'Leary, where the
great fire started, there will be a big
flight of bombs.
In one Of the parks there will be re-
production of Fort Dearborn, built IN
1903. This was the first white mans
building in city, and it is to commelno-
rate its construction that the Jubilee is
held. Four hundred Indians, descend
ants of the tribes that once lived in
Chicago, will hold camp about the fort
and will make daily attack on it. The
structure also will be the scene Of a re.
union of the scattered pioneers of the
city.
An industrial parade at night, bril-
liantly illuminated and containing many
handsome floats, will be another spec
tacle. There also will be superb fire
works, automible races, swimming races
and water polo contests in which the par
ticipants will be the famous athletes of
the country, Yachting races in which the
crack boats of the lakes will fight for
valuable cups. and many other open-air
events to which all Chicago and the sur
rounding country will be bidden.
The Northwestern Line is the short
line between Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Chicago, and this popular and ever re-
liable road runs more trains and carries
more passengers in and out of these
three great cities every day than any
other railroad, which is proof positive OF
the splendid service offered

Evans, manager of the American
Transfer company, murdered his wife,
Mrs. Lille Maude Evans, in a most
cold blooded manner at their home in
the southern portion of the city. Later

shot himself.
Mrs. Evans, who was twenty-six
years old, was a society woman. She
was married to Evans in 1885, Last
Wednesday she filed suit for divorce
alleging drunkenness and cruelty, and
at the same time brought suit de-
manding that her husband pay $500
for rent of the barn occupied by tho
company of which he is manager The
property, Mrs. Evans asserts, belonged
to her, and in addition she asked an
order restraining Evans from dispos-
ing Of two valuable race horses and
other property which she said also be-
longed to her.
