Jerome Tsckies Tammany Candidate ana

District Attorney Jerome was the speaker

In the Amsterdam Opera House in West
Forty-fourth street When he entered

W. Hinrichs, candidate for Comptroller.
was presented to the audience, the cheering
lasted for several minutes
Mr.. Hinrchs was due at another meeting
and had only time for few words When
Mr.. Jerome got to the speakers place the
cheering which greeted his first appearance
was renewed and il was fully three minutes
before he could proceed. One OF the first
things he took up was McClellan's taunt
made on Monday night that he had failed
TO make good his campaign boast OF 1901
TO indict and convict before he had been
seven months in office every one o the
department heads under Van Wyck.
Il was careful enough in the campaign
OF 1901" he said, "to have a stenographer
take down everything | said and II Mr..
Mcclellan will read my speeches, he will
not find any such statement. 1t is a curl
GUS sort OF mental revulsion that puts
forward the proposition that Low should
be defeated because there are great many
Tammany men out of State prison. You
can't convict a man on the unsupported
testimony of his accomplices, and when
you look into Tammanys ranks you find
them all accomplices in the same game OF
graft.
we did say however. in that campaign
that this man and that man were grafters:
we named them and their gratis, whether
1t was the gambling syndicate. the depart
ment looters or the men chat fattened On
the shame Of women, and not one OF them
has dared to bring suit. That fact is con-
viction in itself.
Mr.. Grout himself was not lacking in
definite statements then. He named four
men who got money from the gambling
combine, Carroll, Sexton, Devery and
Sullivan, and he was never sued. He could
not 20 near Tammany then without soillng
the hem of his garment. Can he go into it
now without? We don't knowyet

OFFICER STEERS SHIP
STRAIGHT FOR ROCKS
Captain of Transport Sherman Got to
= Bridge in Nick of Time to
Save Vessel.

SAN FRANCISCO Dec. 22.-But for
the timely arrival of the captain of the
transpJ Sherman on the bridge when
the steamer was rapidly nearing the
treacherous rocks Of the Wakes Island
in the South Pacific. on her last trip to
this port. ship and passengers and crew
would have been lost.
The second officer. Fred w Jones,
was on the bridge and was steering the
vessel direct to the rocks. when Cap
tain Brugiere appeared and took charge
in time to avert disaster. Jones acted
strangely afterward and II. was stated
by the passengers that he made several
attempts to throw his clothes and then
himself overheard. and did succeed on
one or more occasions in getting rid of
his wearing apparel.
Because of his queer actions he was
closely watched. He appeared to grieve
over his suspension which led those on
board to think that he was feigning
mental alteration. The story as told by
those on the transport was confirmed
by Major Duvol. the officer in charge of
the transport service.

CAUSES SUBURBAN FIGHT
Sorrel Horse Tavern, Near Philadelphia,
May Have to Close.


PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 22.-Sorrel
Horse Tavern, picturesque old inn at
ithian, sequestered hamlet in Radnor
township, which has been famous asa
road seo-.se Cor more than a century
and quarter. and has sheltered many
men famous in history, is the cause OF
bitter fight between the wealthy
residents Of Radnor Wayne. Villanova,
and surrounding towns, and c. 3. Quig-
ley, the proprietor. The question at
issue is whether the Sorrell Horse shall
be granted license Tor the sale Of
liquor.
Arrayed against the proprietor or
the inn are the most influential men in
those suburbs. Fighting for the re-
tention OF the old landmark in all its
glory are a large number of old-tine
residents. Sorrel Horse Tavern was
built in 1863. Tradition says that many
generals Of the Revolution often stopped
there.
J. Gardner Cassatt, one of those op-
posing the license. says the place has
caused much trouble and drunkenness in
the vicinity, and that it would be much
better to shut 1t up.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-The announce
ment just made at Chatham. N. J.. OF
the marriage Of civil war veteran
seventy-hve years old. to his niece
about twenty-five. has caused consider
able comment. The husband is Ephraim
Kramm. who bought twenty years ago
a farm on the south slope Of Long Hill.
between Chatham and New Providence
Eight years ago they made a summer
resort of their place. To give a helping
hand. Miss Della Pitcher. NIECE of Mr.
Kramm. was sent for. Ever since Miss
Pitcher has resided with or near the
Kramms, living almost entirely on the
bounty OF her uncle and aunt, who
came to regard her as a sort of adopted
daughter.
In last July Mrs. Kramm died. II
seemed only natural that Miss Pitcher
should remain to keep house for heI
aged uncle, and not even Mrs Grundy
had aught 10 say against It, Various
rnmors Of approaching marriage We're
only laughed at for the great difference
in age seemed to effectually preclude the
possibility. The announcement is now
made that the wedding occurred about
three weeks ago.
To show their disapprOval Of the mar
rage. the young folk of New Providence
gave them a skimmerton last Saturday
night and brought with them a whole
WagOnlOad Of such presents as the scraT
heaps afforded. The front of the house
where the couple lived looked like thai

the old shoes, tin cans, and refuse OF

ENGL|SHMEN IN RAGE
OVER KAISER'S SPEECH
Said Incompatible Deeds of Germans
Saved British From Destruction
at Battle of Waterloo

LONDON, Dec. 22.-London has been
scattering all day long over the speech
by Emperor William at Hanover in
in which he declared that the incom-
parable deeds of the German legion
saved the English from destruction at
Waterloo
There has been a great gnashing of
teeth on account Of this so-called affront
TO the soldiery of England. The unani-
nous opinion in London is voiced by a
harmonious press-Liberal. Conserva-
tive, Radical, Tariff Reform, and Free
Foed-the editors vieing with each other
In protest and denunciation.
The papers charge Emperor William
with gross and palpable perversion of
history, and contradict point-blank his
statement that the Germans saved the
British from defeat and humiliation
They give credit to Butcher for routing
the enemy after they had been defeated,
but aver that there was no question
when he came up of the French destroy
ing the British
The Emperor is charged with an I'M
pardonable indiscretion in making a
speech needlessly and flagrantly Often
sive to the British. The papers con-
graduate him on the recovery Of mis-
voice and on being able to speak with
his old-time force, but advise him in
terms not lacking in directness that
once more his tongue has run away with
his good sense and made him silly in the
eyes of the world.
One paper suggests. that the most char
liable view to take is that Emperor
William was betrayed by what Premier
Combes. in excusing one of NJ. Pelletan's
indiscretions. denominated Ia chaleur
communicative des banquets."

CHILDREN SEWED UP
FOR WINTER BY PARENTS

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. a2.-Agents of the
Illinois Humane Society have begun an
investigation OF allegations that many
mothers in the West Side Ghetto dis
trict sew UP their children in winter
clothing and change II hut once during
that period. Bathing is thus an impos-
sibility and the Humane Society officials
declare IT is a condition of affairs that
must be stopped.
Discovery of this custom was made by
a society woman who has devoted much
OF her time to work among the Ghetto
children this year Noting the filthy
condition of some of her little charges
she made inquiries and learned that
bathing was unknown IN the winter af-
ter the clothing had been sewed on, and
that children lived. slept and played
in their garments with but one change.

SAILOR RlSKEO LIFE
TO RELEASE A SPARROW
Gets Prompt Reward for Hazardous
Act of Kindness.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. Dec evil
liam Dayton, a sailor, risked his life
and saved a sparrow. Stretching from
sycamore to another tree in Wash
ington Square was a tangled kite string.
Flying across IL the sparrows wing
was caught and the bird fiuttered help
1essly in the air. Dayton, who halls
from North Carolina. was one OF the
crowd watching the bird.
He climbed the sycamore. and as ne
reached the top. seventy-five feet above
the pavement, the branches bent be-
meath his weight. Crawling cautiously
on a limb, he caught the string and the
sparrow was released.
The spectators cheered Dayton's act
and a collection of money was taken
for him. He was also rewarded by the
Pennsylvania Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty TO Animals.
