New York, Oct. 3.-Local politics, the
astonishing vagaries of Wall street and
the situation of the building trades are
absorbing topics in this town just now,
and seem likely so to be for some time
to come.
The interest in local politics will he
cut short, automatically early in No
vember, as a matter of course, but
there are plenty of New Workers who
believe that the eccentricities of the
stock market and the tension in labor
circles will keep the attention of the
public centered upon them for a much
longer period.
1t is the opinion in certain quarters,
indeed, that the interest in the labor
situation will remain acute all winter.
Owing to the building strikes thous-
ands of men have been out of work for
months who would normally have been
kept busy at good wages, ard are pen
niless on the eve of the cold season,
whereas they should now have money
and plenty of it.
In support of this contention, one OF
the Metropolitan papers recently inter
viewed a lot of retail dealers doing
business in quarters inhabited chiefly
by wage earners, and found that the
trade of these dealers had fallen away
woefully in the last few months. In
almost all cases the decline has been
one-quarter or more; in some cases full
one-third.
"7'he WORKING folks have no money
10 spend ana won't have until the
strikes are ove~." is the universal ex-
PLANTATION of the tradespeople when dis
cussing the situation, and they are not
sanEIiine that the emu OF the strikes

Dixey is not an old man yet but

vanced. So did Mrs. Fiske, who, as

A LETTER FROM HIS FATHER
Dear Sirs-"My son Alfred is fifteen
years and six months old He had

three weeks had hemorrhages three or
four times a week. I had q doctor.
and he prescribed medicines that I
bought. 1 don't Know the names OF
them, but they did the boy no good:
the blood kept on coming in largo
quantities. Doctor said it was no USE
to come, he could do no good. lie
said it was a question of but few
days. I then had to tell him how my
son was getting on. and he would
write out another prescription. The
case got worse, and / called in another
doctor. He. too. said he could do no
good: the boy would die. For month
he could not lie down.
ri had used Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key eight years ago for my wife, and
she got well, so I thought, as the sec

again, that / would try 'Duffy's' for
Alfred. He has used three bottles, ac-
cording TO directions, one teasDoonful
to three of water. and in two weeks
the hemorrhages had stopped and he
has had none since. He is UP and
about, his appetite is good. and he is
improving by leaps and bounds.

Getting back to the political crowd
for paragraph or two, it may be re-
marked that Henry George Cthe son OF
the original single taxer, who died just
before the close of the municipal CAM
paign in which he was one of the nomi-
nees for Mayor is by no means the
least interesting of the men before the
public just now
Young IN. George is like, and yet
sineularly Unlike, his famous father.
The coloring is the same-deeply
SANDY as to the hair and rudy as
to skin--and the personal gestures are
similar. But in body he is smaller,
there is something of the convincing
quality lacking in the face, and his
walk and attitudes do not show the
same apparent personal certainty and
calm that were noteworthy charac-
teristics of the older man.
The present Henry George is a
Journalist by profession. He was made
managing editor when still a very
young man on newspaper at jack
sonville, Fla, that was operated by
the Plant Steamship Company for the
benefit of the Northern guests there.
He had not gone through a wide ex-
perience as a newspaper man at that
time, but he made out very well, con-
sidering. The Plant people had no
expectation of making their paper
profitable, directly, and there was no
disappointment, therefore, in the an
nual deficit 1t did win out, however,
i'm a way, for the Northern guests at
Jackson appreciated it TO the utmost,
often terming il the Evening Post

prise in furnishing the important news
as fully and promptly as the New
York papers, and commenting on it
temporarily. The chief editor at the
time was, earlier, the editor of
sober, high-class review printed in the
North
After the paper had served its pur-
pose, the Plants sold the property, and
both the mana ging and chief editor
hied themselves back to New York.

Charles S. -Fairchild, another old line
Democrat who is in line for Low, has
also been a favorite with Cleveland,
and served under him during his first
term as Secretary of the Treasury.
Fairchild is a man of exceptional
mental gifts and thorough training.
Harvard is his alma ma ter. In the life
time of the late Samuel ]. Tilden he
was a great favorite of that statesman.
He comes from Cazenovia, a New York
state town, and his manhood till near
middle life was passed in Albany,
where he had big law practice. Dur
ing Tilden's lifetime he was elected
Attorney General of the state, and Eater
removed to New York. He remained
active in politics till Cleveland's over
throw, but since then there has been
little heard of him comparatively. He
married favorlte niece of Horatio
Seymour. and is clearly a member of
the Democratic family circle.

But not all the talk of New York just
now is of labor troubles Wall street
and politics. The dramatic season, now
getting into full swing, bids fair to be
the most prosperous in theatrical his
tory, and the playhouses are filed
night after night with throngs that
seem to take no thought of the more
strenuous aspects of life.
One of the best known of the male
stage attractions this year is Henry
E. Dixey, until quite lately nicknamed
"Adonis," by reason of his phenome-
nal success in a part of that name
more than a bakers dozen of years
ago. Since his palmy "Adonis'' days
Dixey has had many ups and downs,
and his displayed greater versatility
than most men. In 1897 he devoted
some time to the magician business,
then preferring that line to anything
as an actor, even in burlesque. He
did pretty well at 1t, too. His hands
are very supple and his movements
are lightning-like in their r'apidity. He
demonstrated the suppleness of his
hands in Cincinnati once while playing
there in a way that astonished the
chief of police, who had been introduced
to him.

A prisoner had escaped from the
Cincinnati force only the day before
by slipping the handouts from his
wrists. The chief. looking at Dixey' S
hands, which, though very well form
ed. are much larger than the average,
remarked that the actor would find it
difficult to initiate the escaped pris-
oner, were he to be handcuffed.
"Try me and see," said Dixey, hold
ing out his hands.
The chief snapped a pair Of wrist
let's on the outstretched wrists. In
less than a minute Dixey was free, nor
could the chief find a pair in all the
headquarters assortment that would
hold him. Dixey's play this year is
Facing the Music" and, though he
is located away up in Harlem and not
downtown, he seems to be all right.

diction was made. Also it is becoming
more apparent daily that the campaign
is sure to be one OF the bitterest fights
in years. AS to party divisions OH
national lines, they are going to be
wiped out, to all intents and purposes,
among the more prominent men of the
town.
Wheeler II. Peckham, for instance,
who is one of Lows strongest support
ers, has never been a Republican, and
in the days Of Cleveland's dominance
was SO thoroughly affiliated with the
Democratic party that Cleveland NOM
mated him a Judge Of the Supreme
Court of the United States. 1t is true
that, like Mr.. Hornhlower, Mr.. Peck
ham failed of confirmation by the Sem
ate, and also that he wouldn't support
Bryan in 1900, nevertheless his entire
sympathies and tendencies are anti
Republican, and he hopes to vote the
Democratic national ticket next year,
yet he will have none of the Temmany
ticket this year.
1t is only fair to add that Mr.. Peck
ham has been at severe odds with his
party on several occasions in the past.
In 1892 he was one of the famous
"anti-snappers" who revolted against
the unit rule In the state convention
held to send delegates to the National
Democratic Convention. At that time
he and his supporters were utterly
routed by the regular Democracy Of
the state. In 1883, four years earlier,
he bolted the state Democratic ticket,
headed by David b. Hill, and support
ed Warner Miller, the Republican NOM
inee for governor. Mr.. Miller, it will
be remembered, fell outside the
breaStworks," suffering utter defeat,
although Benjamin Harrison, the Re-
publican candidate for President, was
elected. 1t was in 1893 that Peckham
objected TO Judge Maynard. Demo-
cratic nominee for Justice of the Court
of Appeals, because of a decision re-
garding certain ballots.
Maynard was defeated, though q
special protege of David B. Hill, and
has never cut any political ice at all
since then. This incident shut out
Peckham politically as well as May
nard, apparently, for excepting the
nomination to the Supreme bench in
1894, he has not been a national factor
at any time in recent years.
Mr.. Peckham must be past 40 now,
but he is still hale and hearty. He has
been n corporation lawyer for many
years and In the receipt of big pro-
fessional income. He has a temper of
his own, and on one or two memorable
occasions has shown it most decidedly
in open court. Once he forgot himself
so far as to call his opponent in a will
