NEW YORK, Oct. 26.--District At
torney jerome is force that will not
down. He has come into politics TO
stay. Machines may spurn him, lead
ers may ignore him, the press attack
him. They may crowd him out of public
office. From public life nothing but
death can crowd him. Jerome will ell
I, ways attract wide attention. He will
create sensations. In just this he will
always be able to marshal telling fol-
lowing.
.Jeromeism has been settled upon this
city. 1t has become as inevitable rs
Deveryism. Where one is, there must
be the other. There are always people
who love to work graft. There will
always be people who love to disclose
and hound it. Jerome has crystallizcd
the latter class about himself. Folk OF
St. Louis did this. He has been takeld
of for president. Jerome wants to be
president. He can count his thousands
of followers for anything today. They
are as devoted as they are blind.
New York has just begun to realize
this. Two years ago it thought Jerome
a prophet. A year ago it proclaimed

MR.. HAPPY WRITES HOT
EP|STLE ON WEYMOUTH

II said: The city will have a fine
time running this case. ... -.
Then he said: Sixth avenue ought
between Jefferson and Adams street;
that 1t should have been made to con-
form to the topography of the coun-
try.
II said: You have been a damned
long time finding that out, Mr.. Wey-
mouth. If you propose to fill up Sixth
avenue now 80 as to make it conform
to the topography of the country. l
will consent to 1t If you will make it
conform for the full width of the
street; what l object to Is that you
are trying to make it conform to the
topography for one-half of the street,
but you leave my half of the street
to conform with the topography of
the Washington Water Power COM
pany car line. If you will make the
whole street conform to the topog-
raphy it will bury the street car track
some eight feet under ground; but
you know, and I know, that you will
not throw a rock or a pound of dirt
on that track topography or no to-
Biography; and 1 am very much mis-
taken If l don't make the city take
every pound of dirt which 1t has
thrown on the other side of the street
away from there. At all events, every
proposition of compromise is over;
1t is a fight now to a finish.
"In my opinion Mr.. Weymouth is
more responsible than any other Of
ficer of the city for all this work
that ought not to have been done on
Sixth avenue above mentioned.
II draw the conclusion that the
work done there In permitting the
street railway to go below the grade
Of Sixth avenue, and in attempting
to grade this avenue east Of the west
line Of Jefferson street as was at
tempted In this case. could have been
brought about only by corruption or
the grossest stupidity or incompe-
tency:'

Attorney Cyrus Happy has sent a
burning letter to Mayor Boyd regard
ing the petition recently filed by
Charles Wolf asking that City Com
missioner Frank p. Weymouth be
discharged for incompetency.
In his letter. which contains six
typewriter pages, Mr.. Happy goes
after Mr.. Weymouth hammer and
tongs and cites as proof Of the just
nessApf his views the grading of Sixth
avenue between Jefferson and Adams
streets. Mr.. Happy's fine home. the
old Munter residence, faces this strip,
and 1t is this same strip that has
figured in the courts for two or three
years past. Mr.. Happy puts the dis
agreement over the grade directly to
the door of Mr.. Weymouth.
Mr.. Happy denies that he signed
the petition for Mr.. Weymouth's re-
moval because he was working in the
interests of union labor.
lie says that in 1891 the city coun-
ell by ordinance established q grade
on Sixth avenue that was 2OO3 feet
above the datum plane at the juno
ton of Sixth avenue and Jefferson
street; that in 1898 he purchased the
old Munter residence at Sixth avenue
and Jefferson street and pursuant to
direction by the engineer and board
of public works had his lot graded,
cement walks built and a stone fence
built; that shortly afterward the Can
non hill car line was built past the
property by direction Of the board
of public works and was permitted to
go two feet below the grade level;
that later the property owners re-
graded the street to conform with the
car line, under direction of the board
Of public works; that some time later
a purported ordinance passed the city
council regarding Sixth avenue In
such manner that the new grade
reaches the west line of Jefferson

MADISON, Wis. Oct. 26.--The story
of the life of Mabel /. Phillips, the
beautiful artists model, who committed
suicide in Chicago. would fill volumes.
She took her life because she did not
know who she was. Her name, Mabel
Phillips, was the one given her by the
family which cared for her after finding
her on the doorstep 10 years ago. Six
months ago someone told her that her
name was Lyons and that her mother
was rich and living in Pittsburg. Miss
Phillips advertised for her mother, nut
could not locate her.
A family of farmers in Wisconsin had
n child kidnapped 10 years ago and an
effort was made to trace Miss Phillips

the.cou court house at NeWberry

A motion to continue the hear
