more sleepless nights than the question of
who will be the Democratic candidate for
President in 1904. Young Arthur took it
mts- his head last year TO run. for the
Maryland Assembly. which. in United
States," means the State Legislature. He
was getting there right fast for the nomi-
nation. when his father heard of it
through n political friend, who said that
the youth was mussing up his plans. Cor
man senior finally induced German junior
to pull off, which he did very reluctantly.
Now young Arthur proposes to run for
the Maryland Senate. Old Arthur has
vetoed the project, but young Arthur has
passed the matter over his fathers veto.
He says he will make the fight and that
he will win. Senator German has an
nounced his intention to support the
''other" fellow. who is n Mr.. Grosvencr
Hanson. one of the popular young Demo-
Gratis of the State. Young German says he
will win anyhow.
Women Inspectors in the Port of New
York have been tried for a month, and
they have been pronounced \. q. by the
Commissioner of immigration. They were
appointed because of the great hue and
cry raised in New York by the w. {. Il.
Z. about young women being enticed to
dis country for immoral purposes. The
Bureau of Immigration promised to assist
the w. c. r. T., and put on a lot of
women inspectors, who boarded steamers
down the bay and questioned young
women who came second cabin. as it was
thought that most of this class would
travel that way. The Inspectors did the
best they could. but the game was against
them. 1t has been proved quite satisfac-
torily that men can do the inspecting to
better advantage and more practically
than women.
a great fake has been played on the
United States Treasury. Somebody start
ed the story that all the 1902 pennies had
IS cents worth of gold in each. which got
in by mistake when they were being
minted, and that the L. s Treasurer
would buy them at Is cents each
Small boys carried 1902 pennies into
the Treasurer by the bucketful. Men
run in with a pocket full. 1t is said
that one man down South somewhere
sold out lucrative business and started
out to buy up pennies of 1902. and not till
he had bought a thousand or so Mt II
cents each did lie find out that he was the
victim of a cruel fake.
There is trouble brewing for somebody.
