 pr. Horace Fletcher of Yale univer- sity, who since 1895 has devoted par ticular attention to scientific research in chemical psysiology and human nu- triton, is living at the Waldorf, New York, on $1 a day. "And that is too much" says MT. Fletcher, but it is worth the experiment" MT. Fletcher ordinarily lives on about tw| nty cents day at New Haven, but he thinks it s is worth paying eighty cents extra to be able to say that he has boarded at such a famous hotel on such moderate sum. Last evenings New York Com mercial Advertiser asys:
 1T have all want here," said he, land never average more than 8 dol- lar. Some days my stomach demands $1.10, but the next day it is sure to go down to at least ninety cents. I have known my stomach to ask for only twenty cents, even at this expensive table. ,& z That may sound strange to you, to thus speak of my stomach as demand ing, hut the secret of my system is that my stomach has perfect control of me, and yet, paradoxical as it may sound, I have almost perfect control of my stomach. This has come about through years of practice. My stomach # tells me what to eat, and my brain tells my stomach how much. The two inf1u- ences, you see, have through years of discipline-the psychological conditions, l admit, are complicated-made my ap- petite and my desire almost one.

Hitz Meeting Held on the North Side
Chairman Newlin Makes a State
ment-PoIfticaI News.

Looking at the present city campaign from
a sportsmsn's point OF view, it is away
ahead OF any election held in this city for
many years The amount OF money which
II is estimated will change hands on cleo
ton day exceeds 10000. Up to last night
fully 10000 had been wsgered in the differ
ent poolrooms and betting places In the
city. and as much more was posted on the
boards waiting for takers. The way of the
betting indicates an abundance OF confidence
In Bookwalter's reelection among the gam
bling fraternity. Thousands of dollars can
be had at odds OF 10 to Z. and lively
scramble for a chance at Hoffman money,
IL Is said, will be made by believers in Re-
publican success tomorrow. The confidence
shown by the sporting element in Book
walters election is merely a forerunner of
the result OF the election count, and the
confidence IS backed by any amount Of
money. A few supporters of Hoffman
have, I'm a weak way. attempted TO make a
showing the betting boards. but they
expect odds of / TO 2. as a rule. Charles
Gardner, of the abattoir company. has so
far bet about 81. 100 on Hoffman. securing
odds ranging from 10 To TO L. and last
night he cleaned the board at Harry Walk
er's. on Washington street, of all the small
bets on Bookwalter. But fast as the Re
publican money was taken down in any of
the betting resorts new bets were posted to
fill their places, and late last night few
OF the larger sums We're posted. a South
Side man yesterday morning took bet of
S210O to $500. just TO show his faith in
Bookwalter. he said. and he stated at the
time that ON Monday he would be ready
with any amount Of money. which he would
place on the Republican candidate at the
prevailing odds. At Mike ToOmeys pool
room the odds show that Bookwalter is the
favorite, and much Republican money
stands waiting for takers at odds of 10 TO q.
Fully 10000 had been taken at Walkers
early last night, and IL was estima ted that
Mike Toorney had about $4,000 in his hands
for distribution when the result is known.
Judging from the odds demanded by the
Hoffman supporters, there Is pronounced
lack of confidence in his election. They de-
mand odds of to 2 and are loath to accept
any less from the sporting element who
believe In Republican victory. Hitz cuts a
very small figure on the boards. and all the
bets offered on him are made on the num-
her of votes he will receive less than either
of the other candidates.

PROHIBITION MEETING.


George Hitz, the Prohibition candidate for
mayor, the Rev. Joshua Stansfleld, pastor OF
the Meridian-street Church, and the Rev.
Worth NJ. Tippy, pastor Of the Broadway
Methodist Church. addressed a small audi
encs in a tent at Nineteenth and New Jersey
streets last night. With this meeting the
Hitz campaign practically came to a close.
Tomorrow night Mr.. Hitz will address two
meetings OF colored people in the vicinity Of
Indiana avenue.
The meeting at Nineteenth and New Jer-
sey streets was really not very much Of a
success. 1t is thought that hundred
people is liberal estimate of the size of
the crowd
Mr.. Hitz, who was the first speaker, as
sured the audience that he is certain that
he viii be elected. But" he said, 'if we
go down i'm defeat, that will not stop our
fight for a good. clean city government.
We viii keep right on working for what we
are working now. But. really, think that
ticket will be elected. and that when the
viii see the beginning OF a new kind of city
government in Indianapolis.
Most of the remainder of Mr.. HitZ's speech
was long statement about the cordial
welcome he has received everywhere he has
gone in the campaign. and the careful con-
sideration that has been given to his argu-
ments.
The Rev StansfieId's address was along
the line of other addresses he has made at
the BitZ meetings. Stating that he is
against Mr.. Bookwalter's election and
against Mr.. Holtzmans election for the rea-
son that their administrations would be gov
erned by ring and that he holds both
men in high personal esteem. Mr. Stansheld
said he thought the best interests of the
city demand the election of the Prohibition
candidates. Mr.. Stansfield said he thought
the Prohibition ticket will be elected.
Mr.. Tippy approached his subject from
the standpoint OF an abstract proposition
He set before his listeners the proposition
OF a city dominated by ring OF politicians,
the administration being entirely in Their
hands. saying that under these conditions
any city will be misgoverned aud the inter-
ests of the people be given second place for
the selfish interests OF the members OF the
ring. lie then applied this proposition
