stuck Him for the Cigars.
Mr.. S. o. Smith. formerly of Sa-
Vannah, but now of Sonia, has prob
ably concluded that there is no econ
only in receiving gift cigars from Ma
Mia. A friend in the Philippines re-
Gently sent him $50 Manila cigars. In
due time the cigars arrived. and with
them was a charge of IS duty. When
the package was opened, it was found
to be fifty cigars shy. Mr.. Smith is
now endeavoring to induce the Custom
House officials TO explain why he
should be charged IS duty on $50 cigars,
when in reality only 100 cigars were in
evidence. Mr.. Smith is further Puz-
zled TO know whether his generous
friend in Manila intended to make him
present of the cigars or send them
G. o. d. In view of the excessive
duty charged Mr.. Smith will in the
future probably patronize home deal
ers in tobacco for his smoking mater
ial.
Representative Adamson has been re-
quested by Mr.. Smith to investigate
the matter and ascertain whether he
is to receive the so missing cigars or
whether he is to get a rebate of the
duty imposed by the government.

FIRE BROKE OUT IN
AN INSANE ASYLUM.
rive Hundred Women Were Con-

Five Hundred women Were Con-
Quoted to a Place of safety.
Taunton, Mass, Jan. 5.-With every
room and many of the halls filled with
patients, and the outside temperature
at zero, the upper story Of the women's
wing of the state insane hospital
caught fire just before midnight last
night, and while the flames were raging
fiercely every one of the 500 female
patients was safely conducted through
the smoked hoxed corridors to the m n $
department.
The splendid discipline of the hos
pital force undoubtedly prevented loss
or life. while the fire proof construc-
ton of the building itself confined the
fire to one story.
Among the patients was Jane Top
pan. who was convicted about a year
ago of several murders by poisoning.
The loss is $4,000.

new YORK CITY
is A PROBLEM
HOW MURPHY FIGURES 1T.
PARxER'S PLURALITY TO Equal
GOLFERS ~, 900 IN 1902.

other Tammany Men Not so san
guine-Murphy Counts on Her
ricIS's Plurality Exceeding COIer's.
The Best Estimate the Republic
cans Make Is $4,000 Democratic
MRjOrity-WiH the New York City
Democratic Vote Overcome the
Republican Vote i'm the States
New York. oct. 2s.-This great city
is one of the important problems of
the national and state campaigns. II
the state of New York is 10 elect a
Democratic Governor. the Democratic
vote OF the city must be large enough
TO overcome the vote that win be cast
in the Republican counties to the
North and West.
1t is generally admitted that If the
city gives plurality much In excess
of 100000 the state will be close, and
this may insure victory also for
Judge Parker. The Republicans do
not agree with the Democratic claim
that their vote will be materially cut
down in the :ural counties. but it is
clear that they are desperately fighting
in every way to decrease the Demo-
cratic vote In the city.
The campaign, however. has been
listless on both sides in the city. just
as ii has been in the state.
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall, insists that he will be able
to present to Judge Parker a plurality
almost equal to that given to Bird s.
Coler in 1902, which was $4,000. He
expects to exceed the Coler vote for
Judge Herrick. other Tammany men
are not so sanguine and place the plu-
Tality for the head of the ticket at
about 10000 in the city.
The best estimate the Republicans
make is $4,000 Democratic in the en-
tire city, but these figures are likely
to be regarded as too low even by con-
sentative Republican observers.
The city gave Grover Cleveland. in
1892, a plurality of 900. 1t gave Nc
Kinley, in 1896. $1,000. II gave Angus
tus Van Wyck. in 1898, $4,000. 1t gave
Bryan, in 1900, $4,000. Coler in 1902
had 122, 900 more votes than Gov. Odell.
Since the Coler vote is the princi-
pal problem with the politicians 1t is
interesting to compare the vote of that
year with that for Governor in 1900,
the last presidential year. when Odell
ran behind the national ticket.
Mr. Colers total vote i'm the city
was 27132. That of Mr.. Stanchfield
two years before was 316,393. an in
crease in the Democratic vote of TO-,
739 This increase was 6,749 in Man
haitian and the Bronx, 2.059 in Kings,
1873 in Queens and 312 in Richmond.
Gov. Odell's total vote in 1900 was
272, 100 and in 1902 1t was 204 499, and
two years before 272,130. a decrease in
the Republican vote Of 67,691. There
was a decrease of 43, 791 in Manhattan.
90 100 in Kings, 2,732 in Queens and l.
COS in Richmond.
The Republicans contend that their
voters who failed to come out in 1902
are coming out this year, and will vote
for Roosevelt and Higgins. The Dem
oorats assert that "Odellism" is still
the issue, and that the stay-at-home
Republicans of 1902. If they register.
will do so in order to vote against the
Governors ticket and against the pol
icies of Mr.. Roosevelt.

WASHINGToNS CREAKING
HERDICS TO GO.

Antiquated TRANSPORTATION Line
of the Capital Soon "A Thing of the
Past.
Washington, Oct. 9.-Washington's
old herdic line may soon be a thing
Of the past. After having for years
tolerated the dilapidated. creaking
herdics, drawn by ancient horses at a
snairs pace, the tax assessor OF the
district recommends that they no long
ey be permitted to operate under the
hAsnses they now hold.
Utmost every one who ever had oc-
caAon to visit Washington has seen
these sorry looking conveyances. They
operate about every five minutes on
line extending northward from the
treasury in Fifteenth street, to Mas
sachusetts avenue. thence in that fash
ionable thoroughfare to Sixteenth
street and north TO u street.
tt has been years since they were
painted. The shaggy hides of the
horses seem strangers to currycombs.
They are manned only by driver, who
acts as conductor In 50 far as he sees
that each passenger puts his nickel in
a cash box at the front Of the herdic.
In the winter straw is laid on the floor
but no other provision is made for
heating. Probably in no other city Of
equal size would this Anticipated mode
of transportation be tolerated.
Senator Depew once said 10 a friend
who missed the herdic-"There It goes
a block away. II you walk slow you
will overtake it,"

WHO BUILT THE SUBWAY?
Mcdonald. Parsons, Rapid Transit
Commission or August Belmont.

New York, Oct. 29.-The question
"Who built the subway is arousing
discussion in various quarters since
gineering on Thursday. WAS It John
B. Mcdonald. who got the contract to
build it for S35 100000 William Barclay
Parsons. who drew the plans: the Rap
id Transit Commission. who approved
the plans. or August Belmont and the
Interborough Company, who found the
money to finance the undertaking."
Mr.. Mcdonald was quoted as saying
in some bitterness of spirit, that wall
street does not give a continental for
the contractor, after he gets the dirt
OF his shovel"
When asked who built the subway
Mr.. Mcdonald smiled.
I'm sure / can't say" he began.
Then. becoming serious. he added: Il
shall engage In no controversy as TO
who IS entitled to credit for the con-
struction Of the subway. A few years
ago the project was regarded as so
vast and difficult, even by the great
interests engaged for years IN the at
tempt to solve the problem OF rapid
transit for this city. that 1t was DEEM
ed imDracticable.
After careful study I concluded II
was practicable and undertook #. I
appreciated tho difficulties to be en-
countered but concluded that they
were not insurmountable. found
them as great as anticipated. They
nave been overcome. To-day the sub
way and rapid transit for New York
city are ACCOMPLISHED facts.
L.
all time. I claim no special credit,
except what may attach 10 the COM
pletion Of the undertaking within the
time and under the conditions called
for By my contract. The public IN the
chief beneficiary. and II must decide
who Is entitled 70 credit ia the prem
tsos.-
