MERCHANTS At WORK
FOR BIC CONVENTION
Proprietors of Great Department Stores
Enthusiastic in Their Efforts to Have
This City Chosen as the Meeting
Place by Democratic Committee.

New York is awakening to the great good the Democratic Ma
tional Convention will bring to this city, and in the awakening the
civic pride which seemed to lie dormant has begun to assert itself.
The offer of $1,000, made by The Evening World, to start a
fund to defray the expenses of getting the convention here is bear
ing fruit. Men in every kind of business, in every walk of life, have
become interested, and in becoming interested, they have begun to
act.
The merchant princes, the keepers of ninety of the largest no
tells in the world. representing the Hotel Mems Association of New
York, the railroads, which come from every part of the continent
and which make New York their principal terminus; bankers,
brokers, politicians of every faction, ministers of the gospel and
the great army of vurkingmen have begun to look upon bringing
the convention to New York as something they desire and as an
event they must have.
3 There are only fourteen working avs between now and the
time the National Democratic Committee will meet and decide
where the National Convention will be held. Cities one-twentieth
the size of New York would not wait until this time to start fight
ing for the National Convention.
WOULD BRING 100000 VISITORS.
1t has been said that the Democratic National Convention
would bring 800, 900 visitors to New York. 1t is now. declared by
those men who have become interested in slo convention being held
here that it will bring 100000 visitors here '
"You may expect more than the delegates to the convention and
their friends said George Daniels, General Passenger Agent of
1.-The New York Central Railroad. "The rcduced,raiiroad rates will
bring thousands and tens of thousands here who have no interest
in the convention"
In this argument Nh. Daniels is borne NJ, by the big depart
mentstore owners and the hotel men, who believe that 100000
visitors is a conservative estimate.
And what city could accommodate these 100000 visitors, save
lNowIYorks ON "".''''4o2 @,
Y There Is no city in these United States that could care for half
of them. Half the number would be subjected to every discom-
fort. Many would be without beds; others would have food of the
cheapest sort, bought at eXorbitant prices.
Democrats should be particularly interested in this convention.
What will it mean to the Democrats?
Senator McCarren has said that it will strengthen the Demo
cratic chances for success in 1904.
1t will bring about a state of enthusiasm in New York State,
which, so it is declared, will take it from the list of doubtful States.
1t will enthuse the Democrats of Connecticut, of New Jersey, of
Maryland, Delaware and of West Virginia.
All that New York needs now to awaken this enthusiasm is
additions to The Evening Worlds fund.
The Evening World has offered S., 900 to start this fund.
What will the people of New York City give, now that New
York has awakened, and that New York wants the Democratic Ma
tional Convention of 1904?

thief he was after. When he saw that

acter. As soon as lscly saw the brace
lets he tripped the detective and ran as
fast as he could across Canal street;
after him. Kelly refused to stop and
reached Broadway in safety. Fearing
that he would lose his man In the
crowded street Collins then pulled his
gun and began firing in the air, with
the result that the man stopped.

Demoraic National Convention will have a most beneficial effect IN the

circulation. but it will bring a class OF visitors here who will have a last

get the convention here. not solely for business reasons which will be felt
at the time. but for the lasting effect the gathering would have. There is

WHY MERCHANT PRINCES
WANT THE CONVENTION
Simpson. Crawford, Enrich Bros, Saks g. Co.
Lord g. Taylor and SiegeI Cooper Conn.,
pany Say 1t Would Help City.

Proprietors of the great department stores OF New York ae greatly
interested in the movement started by The Evening World to bring the
Democratic National Convention to New York in June, 1904. The interest
these men show in getting this convention-th tn first National Convention
held in New York in thitysix years-s not born of a selfish motive. They
want the convention because they feel that it will bring great good to the
city. because they feel that it will be a lasting good, and because they feel
that the greatest city in America is entitled to this convention.

One Of the many factors con-

marvellous development of the

Closed Laterals.

j. F. Harsch is laying quarter
of mile Of sewer pipe to conduct
the water used in irrigating his
orchard from the High Line canal
to the land to which the water is
to be applied. The character of
the soil through which he has car
ried the water in an open lateral
admits of great loss by seepage,
it being sandy. The total cost of
pipe, engineering, excavating and
laying, cementing the joints,
making the conduit perfect for
the whole distance, 1920 feet
will be about $3.50.
Considering only the CONNER.
cial value of a water right in the
High Line canal at the present
market price. and estimating the
loss in seepaee at 33 1-3 per cent
the actual loss in water would more
than pay the cost of constructing
this perfect carrier. Tho other
benefits derived from this modern
method of carrying water, such as
the proof against the treachery of
sand and thistles in the open lat
eral, the annoyance and expense
of maintaining. an open lateral, the
troubles arising from the conten-
tions among those through whose
land the lateral passes, and the
many other conveniences of we'll
confined water supply will equal
the gain In water service.
Isaac Gantz, R. o. McClain, B.
F. Powell and w. W. Spencer
have also begun to lay l,150 feet
of tiling on their company lateral,
through the most treacherous por-
tion of their lateral. Theirs is
twelve inch and will cost about
thirty cents a foot for the material,
aside from the work OF laying. If
this tiling could be manufactured
here and the cost was reduced to a
minimum, there would be much
more laid, AS it is, where the lat
erals go through such formations
as to lose such large per cent,
even at the present cost, it is a
wise expenditure. These initial
attempts on such a large scale
will be watched with interest and
may induce others to follow if they
succeed as the owners feel sure
