if he should he has as good chance for an
accounting as DR.. Parkhurst has.
As far as his acquaintance goes among
politicians Treasurer O'Donnel has an
unblemished reputation, He is said to
be moderately rich and lives modestly
at 223 East Seventeenth street.
Leader Murphy has lived almost his whole
life within small world from his days In
the shipyards through his experience as
a street car man and as a saloonkeeper.
Mr. O'Donnel. too, has spent his life In the
same territory, which now constitutes
the Eighteenth Assembly district
At present Leader Murphy lives but q
block away from Treasurer O'Donnel.
They have been together in politics since
1884 at least, when Murphy and the late
Senator Edward Hasan Joined together and
elected Cen. Spinola to Congress.
Hagar was the Tnmmany leader Of the
district Nd TO the time Of his denth in 1892.
but Murphy was the backbone OF his organi-
zation and supplied the funds which Hagan
spent in such lavish style. When Hagan.

It.was at Murphy's direction that o'Donnel
was sent to the Assembly, and he put him
in the Senate in Hagan's place. Then when
Croker wanted Thomas F. Grady In the
Senate Mr.. ODonnel stepped aside willingly.
Mr.. O'Donnel is IS ind married. but has

1t causes no comment in Tammany now
when it is reported that three men who
want to be Borough President are each
willing to spend $4,000 for the nomination.
Considering the number OF ffices to be
filed this fall, the amount that the new
treasurer will handle is likely to be vast.

Quick TIME IN POCKET PICKING.
An Incident OF the B0wery which Is Both
Strange and True.


This occurrence, improbable as it may
seem, actually happened in this city.
A certain large pawnbrokerage house
which has number Of separate places OF
business employs an expert accountant
to examine It's accounts once q month.
The accountant has a fine gold repeater
and stop watch which was given to him by
his father and for that reason Is valued by
him at even more than it's intrinsic value.
This accountant, who lives In Brooklyn,
went to the pawnbroker the other day
from his home. He crossed the Tenth street
ferry and reached the Bowery on cross
town car, walking the rest OF the distance
10 the store.
Instead Of passing through the private
hall TO the rear Office, as he does usually.
he entered the section where the loans are
made. As he passed through tho door. he
cut in such hurry that he almost knocked
down the accountant, Behind the counter
one Of the clerks WAS laughing and holding
something in his hand,
What's the joke?' the accountant asked
why" answered the clerk. that fellow
who lust rushed out wanted $40 on this
watch. He said he had bought 1t for $40.
The watch is worth $3.50. 40 told him to
wait minute until could call UP the police

insignificant sum. You saw how he waited

A wealthy New York broker who has
country home on Long Island is so fond
OF flowers that he frequently spends some
time In and about his plants, sometimes
doing little gardening himself. A few
days ago he thought he would water some
plants, 40 he called to his new coachman,
who was standing near watering can, and
told him to All 1t and bring II to him.

this he is like Leader Murphy. and as Croker

tongue.

In the Iow-Shepard campaign Richard
Croker o. K.ed bills for advertising and bill

paid out to district leaders for distribution

BRYAN SLURS CLEVELAND
INTIMATES THE EX-PRESIDENT Is A
WHOLE SHOW BY HIMSELF.
Declines to Attend Any Banquet to
Which the Sage of Princeton Has
Been Invited.

CHICAGO, Feb. s.-Wiliam ]. Bryan to-
day declared that he would refuse to at
tend any banquet to which Grover Cleve-
land was to be invited. Colonel Bryan $
declaration was made through an intimate
friend to the officers of the Iroquois Club.
which intended to invite Bryan, Cleveland
and other Democratic leaders to a ban
quet to be held on Jackson's birthday.
March 16. 1t had been proposed to make
this banquet the occasion for a national
Democratic love feast. The banquet COM
mittee of the club had prepared a list of
prominent Democrats to whom invitations
TO be present and deliver addresses were
to be sent. The first name on the list was
that of former President Grover Cleveland.
The second one was that of William j.
Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan passed through the city to-
day on his way to Indiana. He saw the
list of speakers at the Iroquois banquet
that had been published in the morning
papers and Immediately declared that he
would not attend the banquet. "What need
is there of inviting anyone to banquet al
which Grover Cleveland is to be present.?
he asked, and requested friend to have
his name stricken off the list of those who
were to be invited to the IroQuois Club
banquet.
In accordance with Mr.. Bryan's ex-
pressed wish, Judge Tuley, president of
the IrOquois Club, was told of his inten-
tions in the afternoon. Judge Tuley will
refer the question of issuing an invitation
TO Colonel Bryan to the banquet committee
of the club. Among the men who are TO
be invited to attend the banquet are:
Grover Cleveland, Horace Boies, David b.
Hill, j. J. Hill. Richard Olney, William c.
Whitney, Daniel Lamont, Don NJ. Dickin-
son, Henry Watterson, ex-Attorney Gen.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Feb. 7.-Midshipman
r. H. Pearson. son of the secretary of
state of New Hampshire, who few weeks
ago suffered fracture of the jaw during
fistic encounter with an upper classman
at the Naval Academy, rendered his resig-
nation to-day to Superintendent Brownson.
The fisticuffs resulted from an attempt to
run Pearson. He was accused of cow
ardice when he threatened to report the
would-be "hazers," and was forced to fight
an upper class man of his own size and
weight.
Captain Brownson superintendent of the
Naval Academy, summoned before him to-
day all the members of the third class,
and admonished them upon the iniquities of
"hazing'' and running On their refusal
to agree to discontinue the practice, he
restricted them from all liberty, and to-day,
for the first time in years, the third class
men were refused all liberty and were COM
PEELED to adhere closely to their duties in
the academy schoolrooms and workshop.
Captain Brownson says he will break up all
forms of 'hazing' at the academy.

any effects the enforcement of such legis-
