Then add to it the juice and grated
rind of the lemons. the melted butter
and the yolks of the eggs which have
been well beaten. Sweeten to suit the
taste. Line the pie dish with a good
rich crust rolled very thin, pour in the
lemon mixture and bake in a moderate
oven until it thickens. Make d mer-
ingue of the whites Of the eggs and
four table spoons of powdered sugar
Favored with a little lemon juice.

BRENNAN'S PRICE.
He Estimates the Life of a New York
Financier at $4,000.

Chicago. Dec. 2i-The source of mys-
terious letters demanding large sums
of money, which for the last six months
have been received by men high in the
financial world of New York ard Chi
cago, was today traced to Leo r. BTen-
nan. commercial artist of Chicago,
and Brennan was arrested IS he was
leaving the general pCstohice. where he
had gone in answer to decoy letter.
When confronted with evidence. Bren-
nan confessed to having attempted to
enforce n dozen demands for sums of
$4,000 and $4,000 and having threaten
ed his Intended victims with death
should they refuse to pay. In his con-
fession Brennan declared that all his
attempts to extort money had been flu
tile as he had never received a dollar
in answer to demands.
New York financiers of whom Bren-
nan demanded money were j. y. Nor
gan, John d. Rockefeller, James Still
man and Andrew Carnegie. OF each of
these men he demanded $4,000 in his
first letters and on receiving no replies,
1t is said, he reduced the amount de-
manded to $4,000.
Among those in Chicago on whom
Brennan attempted to levy tribute were
Marshall Field, r. T. Crane. ]. Ogden
Armour and c.. F. Swift None of the
Chicago men was asked for more than

THE NEXT VIOB-PRESIDBYT.

Senator Thomas G. Plat was evidently in
jocular mood when he suggested last Sunday
that Senator Nelson w. Aldrich, of Rhode ISL
and. be nominated next year for the Vice
Presidency Not that Mr.. Aldrich would not
make an admirable candidate for this or any
other Office within the gift of the Repub-
lican party. By experience and capacity he
is eminently fitted to sustain the dignities and
responsibilities of the second post in our federal
framework-to shape and guide the deliberations
of the upper house of Congress- But, eligible
as Mr. Aldrich is for the honor Mr.. Platt would
offer him, there are many practical political
considerations which make his association with
President Roosevelt on the next Republican ma
tional ticket an "iridescent dream
Political tradition would certainly forbid the
selection of two candidates from virtually the
same section of the Union. To the South the
Middle West, the Northwest and the Far West
New-York and w-England form a geOgraph-
ical and political unit. Since Lincoln's time only
one Republican Presidential candidate-Blaine
in 1SS4-has been taken from an Eastern State
The West has more and more in recent years
asserted its preponderant power in national
councils, and if it gives its ungrudging support
next year to an Eastern Presidential candi-
date it will as certainly insist that the Vice
Presidency shall go to some Western party
leader
Moreover as a field from which to draw its
national candidates, neither party has ever
greatly favored the federal Senate. 1t has
been the exception not the rule, when service
in the Senate has proved a stepping stone to
the Presidency or the Vice-Presidency. On the
other hand, most Senate leaders have wisely
conteDted themselves with the far reaching
possibilities of that leadership. AS chairman
OF the Finance Committee of the upper branch
Of Congress Mr.. AIdrich now exercises power
which should fill the measure of any reasonable
political ambition. Similarly, as chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations and of the
Republican steering committee" Senator ALI
son, of Iowa, is one of the most powerful IN
huences to be reckoned with both in legislation
and administration.
Leaders of this stamp would sacrifice real
power for nominal power-substance for
shadow-in accepting an elevation to the Vice
Presidency. Senator Aldrich's election to that
Office would not enhance his personal fame.
Nor could it, under present circumstances, visi-
bly, promote the public interest or benefit the
public service.
