DEYERYISAI

There was another incident, extreme
 ly unimportant in itself, yet one which
 had a curiously marked effect on many minds.
 All through the campaign of 1901 Deyery and "Deveryism'' were made
 the principal issues on the stump. Up-
 on MT. Devery was laid the responsible | ity for a state of things which MT.
 Jerome used to horrify great multitudes by describing, but which cannot be | more than indicated here. The alliance of the police with notorious vice, the infamous "cadet" system, the brass | cheek" system, the hideous traffic in l sin-all these are ascribed to Devery ! and to Devery alone. Mir. Low promis-
 ed that if he were elected his first off,
 cial act would be to remove Devery's
 official head-and he kept his promise. Yet if Devery were indeed guilty of all l the horrors charged against him, his
 was not rightly the greatest odium.
 Devery is an ignorant man, reared
 among the worst surroundings and thrown by association amid the most corrupting influences. '. Not to him, then, but to the men who kept him in his place, would the heavi- est weight of reproduction fall, upon the
 mayor who not only would not remove him, but who in public spoke of him as the best chief of police that New York has ever had" MT. Van Wyck is d
 man of good family and of education; he has held judgeship, and he knows the city over which he ruled as few
 men know it. Every word that was said of Devery and Deyeryism was, if true, a blazing scar upon the reputa- ton of Mayor Van Wyck, a terrible and dreadful condemnation. Yet when Prince Henry of Prussia visited this city and the new mayor had the ap- pointment of committee of one hun dred representative gentlemen to take part in his reception, among the name appeared the name of Robert A. Var Wyck. s., What was the plain man to think of this? Either that the charges against Revery had been false--red lights brass checks, cadets and all the resr-3ud that MT.

A ROMAN MEET.

Rome has a delightful climate the whole year round, and from the end of November to the middle of March is an ideal time for hunting; then the hounds meet twice week, On such mornings the riders leave Rome, or the villas around about 1t, in time to be on the field and ready by Il o'clock, for the hunt is always several miles from Rome, sometimes on the rolling, partly timbered land to the northward, but more often on the level plain. Such a mete is to Rome what a Meadow Brook meet is to New-Yor It means amorn- ing gathering of fashionables, with time and money and distinction to it's credit. Swift moving motor cars, numbering drags and four-in-hands, smart phae- tons, barouches, victorias and dogcarts hurry out from the city. From the es- tates of noblenen in the vicinity of the hunt come more carriages and men on the hunters which they will ride in the days chase.-Outing.
