punch has become metaphorical now,
but it lays out the refractory politician
surer than ever it did the east side
tough. The new fight has been longer
and harder than the battle of the gas
house, but the new Murphy has never
spared blow or missed a trick. He
sits today in a swivel chair and smokes
cigars while Democratic leaders of ma
tional and state Importance wait upon
him in frock coats. His fists may itch
to bowl over in glorious whirl of silk
tile and broadcloth the unctuous traitor,
but his wits as always are on top.
Charlie Murphy's knockouts may not
satisfy the gas house standards as of
old. but they are a terror to the local
world of politics.
Croker "made" young Murphy, and
the gas house leader has given his life
to making himself Croker. He has
Cookers eye to pierce, jaw to refuse
and mouth to smile grimly over mortal
follies and failings. But, better still,
he has Cookers caution and cunning.
Murphy never failed to crush an enemy

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. ~
For the third time President Roosevelt
has passed a birthday in the white
house. He was As years old today, and
the occasion was remembered by every
member of the family and many out

sea, among the latter being felicitous
message from Secretary Root. There
were numerous official callers, among

prince Of Pilsen' had a terrific run
at the fremont theater for five
months. When any production is
powerful enough to draw out the very
best in Boston and from 40 miles
around for five months, there must
be something extraordinarily fetch
ing about it. Mr. Savage then sent
Prince of Pilsen" direct to Chicago,
where 1t ran into the fourth month
and broke the record at the Stude-
baker. This, too. means a vast deal.
when it is remembered that the
Studebaker has almost continuously
had the finest musical attractions that
have appeared in this country.
Not content with these triumphs,
Mr.. Savage then sent prince Of Pill

York. Then it became the fad of
the town-uptown and downtown,
Harlem, Hoboken, Yonkers, New
Haven, all the places for hundred
miles around-and a tremendous sue

continent in which to establish any
thing like an enduring success, yet

The public quickly endorsed prince
of Pilsen" as the merriest and most
musical of all musical comedies of
the period. and cheered 1t into a per-
manent success.

A curloeitY of Heredltv.

Chicago Evening Post.
 It Is one of the curiosities Of heredity that while the children of young parents are usually brighter than the children of old parents. the children of old par ents develop into the most intelligent men and women. A good illustration of this is to compare the savage races, which marry at very early age. with the white race. which is the latest in marrying of all races.
 Teachers among the negroes of the South, in the Philippines, in Polynesia and in Australia tell us that the dark skinned children in their schools are brighter than the white children. yet we never look for great men among these races, and we would not find them if we did look.
 All of the great men of the world, like Aristotle Bacon, Cuvier and Franklin. have been sons of very old men. When eminent men like King David, the Catos of Rome. the elder William Pitt. and certain branches of the Dana, Lee and Livingston families of America have sons late in life, the eminence is con- tinues to the next generation, but when eminent men like Arkwright, Bulwer- Lytton. Coleridge. Cromwell. Peter the Great and Solomon have sons in early life. the eminence immediately disap- pears.
 Another good illustration may be found in the British nobility Each noble fam fly beglns with an eminent man, and the noble branch is continued down through the eldest son. It has been

nenee is very rarely continued to the third generation, and usually disappears in the second. It is true that eminent men have been produced in these noble families, but during the 800 years in. which the law of primogeniture has been in force every such case has come about through some accident which has elirn- mated the eldest of the eldest and has brought in some younger branch to iia- herit the title.
 The conclusion to be drawn from this is that young men should not marry be- fore they are 9. Neither should they re- main old bachelors beyond 30 Unmar- ried people do not live as long as mar. ried people.

The activity among Alabama Republicans Is attract ng much attention throughout the coun- try and the statement is made that 1t is regard ed as a Hanna boom The talk of second meeting of the convention, etc. and the doubt which it has thrown upon the question of calling the State Committee together has put the adm nistration leaders to work with re- newed zeal 1t is understood. that it is learned on the best of authority that letters are being sent by one or more of the Alabama referees to prominent Alabama Republicans begging them to use their influence to try and bring about the committee meeting. It is believed by many that the administration leaders in Alabama are under promise to the adm nistra- tion to change the order of things in Alabama.

C. Y. BOCACKI,
Gambling Among Fashionable Girls.

Boston Transcript.
 There is nothing of the spirit of sensa- tional indictment in what. Mrs.. Julia Ward Howe has to say on the subject or gambling among fashionable girls. It is calm and dispassionate and founded, as seems clear, on observations which Mrs. Howe's social position enables her to make for herself. That she has abundant opportunities for seeing the extent to which play may be carried every one knows. and this, of course, lends weight to what she says and secures attention from a class which would treat with iIi- difference such statement from an outsider Very humanly and very sweetly does Mrs, Howe base her plea for change. on the assumption that few persons really are willing to acquire cruel gains through another's losses. When they do this, Mrs. Howe seems to imply. very Automatically, 1t Is through thoughtlessness,~ and all that such offend- CTS against the flaw of being kind need is to realize that 'offense there Is. With just a few realizations of this generous faith, public opinion will do the rest.

DUSTY AS A ROAD.
Travellers on the Mississippi River
 Suffer From Clouds of Dust

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 ''The Mississippi is the dustiest road in the whole country" said man who travels on the river a great deal, and if you don't believe 1t put on a white shirt some time and make a cruise up the river a few hundred miles. Really, no thoughtful man would be stupid enough to question the statement if he ever had any experience on the river.
 'I was reading an article some time ago about the dust of the sea, and from description given of the fine, dry sedi- ment which falls from the damp mist of the sea, l am inclined to think that the deposit is not in 1t with the dust of the Mississippi. The water of the river IS charged with fine particles. The heavy particles in the water do not leave the surface except to sink at some point where an obstruction diverts the current and causes temporary boise. It is this condition which forms the immense bars or sand banks which we find aIong the river. These formations are due aIto- gether to the resistance encountered by the currents of the river Mind you, the heavier particles of the river figure m these formations. The lighter and the kind I have in mind at this time form a sort of river dust which is waited here and there by the winds which sweep the stream.
 'I have heard many men advance the idea that this dust was blown from the sand bars and baAks of the river during the dry season. But there Is nothing in this claim which will explain satisfactor- fly the constant settling of dust on the boats which ply the Mississippi. It blows into the cabin, settles on the deck and other exposed portions of the boat, and is just like any other kind of dust which one may find in an ordinary road dur ing a dry season. There is thus difference, that 1t Is possibly not so dry, and hence has a greater conesive power. It sticks to the thing it falls on. l have been travelling on the river for a quarter of 0 century in the lower trade, and 1 have paid considerable attention to this ques- ton of river dust, and 1t is really a very interesting subject and one which should receive more attention. It may be pure or impure. How this dust gets out of the river I cannot say, but since no scI- enlist has explained the matter or set up a standard Of judgment in this respect. I have a right to my opinion on the sub Ject.
 'sThere are, in my judgment. two ways of getting the fine particles out of the water. They rise with the mist Of the morning, and when the sun dries and disslpates the mist, these fine particles become the sport of the winds and are blown hither and thither. Or 1t may be that the influence of the sun on the sur- faces Of the water will sufficiently dry and bake these finer particles to make them an easy prey. to the winds. The wind which constantly sweeps the surface of the river would brush them from the water and wait them with the direction of the wind. l do not pretend to say this is exactly what happens, but 1t seems to me to be reasonable explana- tion of the strange phenomenon which we call river dust
