But Senator Plat Says He Nay
Chance His Mind.

Senator Thomas c. Platt declared last night
that he regarded Mayor Low at the present mo-
ment as the strongest and most available can
didate for the fusion forces to nominate for
Nayor this fall. He added, however, that ne
was committed to no candidate: that it was too
early TO predict what would be best to do IN the
fall and that he might change his nina seVerdi
times before convention time.
This statement from Senator Platt was elicit
ed by the sermon preached by the Rev DR..
Parkhurst last night, in which he praised the
present administration but did not in so many
words declare for Mr.. Lows denomination
Why should he declare for Mr. Low?" asked
Senator Platt when this was called to his at
tention. I'VE don't know what the future VIII
develop 1 believe that tonight Mayor Low
is the strongest and most available candidate
the fusion forces could nominate
Are you for Low"
L am rot committed TO Low answered the
Senator decisively. TT may prove wise when
the time comes to nominate an independent
Democrat This is normally Democratic city.
Personally I think a Republican should De
named. but may change my mind several times
before the convention meets"
What will the Republicans do about a judge
of the Court of Appeals?"
.I believe that Judge O'Brien will be Endorsed
by the Republicans" replied the Senator.
How about president of the County Com
mittee?"
That question" answered the Senator, rs

81 don't construe that to mean that Hanna is
a candidate for President Exactly the reverse
He is chairman of the national committee and
therefore an officer of the next national con-

action of that convention. I believe that
Hanna is just as much for Roosevelt as Foraker
is but they are approaching the matter IN an

Senator Plat said he knew of no extra session
of Con gress. q see no reason for one he de-
clared but If the President does call one he
will doubtless have good reasons for so doing

WORK ON LOOP BEGINS
IN THE EARLY SPRING

j. F. Lardner, general manager of
the Tri-City Railway company, stated
today that building operations on the
west wing of the proposed Rock ISL

soon as the frost is out of the ground
in the spring. In the meantime the
work of securing right of way for the
east wing is progressing.
The merit system has been intro
duced on the Tri-City lines as means
of promoting discipline among en-
ployes.
Conductors are receiving new or
ders for the calling of streets in the
three cities. On the Rock Island and
Moline lines the same streets are to
be called as retofore-Fifteenth to
rwenty-fourth, Fifth avenue depot, Au-
gustana college and streets on Elm

Twelfth to Fifteenth streets in Mo-
line. On the Bridge line all streets
are to be called on cars arriving from
Davenport.
Another of the big new cars will be
placed in commission on the Bridge

A PLATE OF SOUP.
Its Eject Upon General Scott's Pres
fdential Aspirations.

Serving dinners in courses is COM
paratively a modern fashion, first in
'troduc,d in diplomatic circles in Wash
ington and initiated from France. Up
to the date of President Folks admin
istration the course dinner among
Americans had made no further prog
ress than that of serving fish and soup
separately. Soup was regarded as such
n foreign frippery that n note written
by General Winfield Scott, in which he
explained that he was Just sitting
down to hasty plate of SOUP" Gov
cred him with such ridicule as to ma
terially contribute to his defeat as a
candidate of the presidency.
Soup in the early days of the repub-
lie was considered as food for invalids
or poor people only. Later, when the
social splendors of the court of the
Empress Eugene attracted rich Amer
leans in fiocks to- Paris, French table
manners and customs pushed the old
English dinner fashions to the wall. 1t
is doubtful. however. if soup ever found
place on the dinner table of the
wealthy Maryland or Virginia planter.
unless green turtle, which was really a
stew, might be so called.
The object of an old time dinner par
ty was to eat, whereas that of the
course dinner is to delight the eye rath-
er than the palate, and yet who will
say that the sight of n well filled din
ner table where an array of silver COW
cred dishes gives forth a bouquet of
appetizing odors fails to make an
agreeable impression on all the senses?
