A HILL-SIURPHY FIGHT.

It is evident from the proceedings
| of the Democratic Convention of New
York that the opposition of Tamnany
to an instructed delegation to the st.
Louis Convention was not based upon
unfriendliness to Judge Parker. If
former Senator Hill had not been the
manager of Judge Parker's interests
it is probable that Tammany wouldn't
have made any objection to instructing
the delegates to the National Conven-
tion.
Mr.. Murphy. the Tammany leader,
is aiming at the leadership of the
State Democracy. as well as of Tam
many, and Mr.. Hill is in his way. He
thinks that IL the Parker movement
should be successful. Mr.. Hill would
get a great deal of the credit for 1t,
and therefore, would be strengthened
in his position as leader of the New
York Democracy.
II is probable that those who are
trying to prevent the nomination of
Judge Parker will endeavor to make
it appear that the Democrats of New
IOIh dIG IlOL IL unit lOI illliB anu
that he wouldn't carry the state in
the event of his nomination. There
need be no fear that Judge Parker
wouldn't have the enthusiastic sup
port of his party if he should be the
choice OF the St. Louis Convention.
AS already pointed out he is popular
with Tammany. Not one of the
Tammany men said anything against
him on the floor of the State Conven-
ton and there is no disposition on the
part of any of them to put obstacles
in his way.
The fight between Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Murphy will go on, but it will not
be so conducted as to lessen Judge
Parker's chances for getting the nom
nation for President. Mr.. Murphy's
purpose will be. as it has been, to de-
story Mr.. Hlrs influence in the poll
tics of the state.
Before the meeting of the conven-
ton on Monday it was said that Mr..
Murphy was secretly in favor OF the
nomination of MIR. Hearst, but it is
evident there was no foundation for
that statement. 1t is doubtful if he
could get Tammany to support Mr..
Hearst. great as his influence with
that organization is. 1t has been stat
ed many times in the public prints
that the great majority of the menu
beTs of Tammany are favorable TO
Judge Parker, and it is probable that
if they were free to express their
sentiments in regard to the action of
the State Convention, in instructing
for Judge Parker, they would say the
right course was pursued. The Tam
many men who went TO the State Con-
veniton had to stand by Mr.. Murphy
in his fight with Mr.. Hill. If Judge
Parker should be nominated he would
have no more enthusiastic supporters
than the Tammany Democrats. ,.-.4

views told of man who turned to
a stranger in a theater and raised a
violent row because the other had sat
on his silk hat and ruined it. The Of

A STREET RAILWAY SUGGESTION


The several street railway systems
that formerly existed here, now repre-
scented by one corporation, the Savan-
nah Electric Company, contributed
largely TO the growth of the city and
the increase of it's taxable property.
Their lines were always ahead Of the
building up of the suburbs inducing
expansion by offering convenient
transportation. With the consolidation
of the several systems into one cor
poration the extension of street rail-
way lines has not only ceased but for
merly existing lines have, been taken
up or drawn in. Without street cars
to take people to and from their homes,
the growth of the city is retarded.
The railway corporation has valuable
franchises in the use of the streets,
and it's rights have been given ample
protection. 1t seems, therefore, that it
owes something to- the people. 1t
should extend its lines, or at least re-
store the connection formerly existing
between Montgomery and Habersham
streets-what was. known as the dig
belt"-and thereby give those pers6hs
who live on the outskirts sufficient car
service. A good street car service to
the outskirts of the city means more
houses, and every house is a guaran-
tee Of greater earnings for the cor
poration. Seemingly, therefore, it is
to the interests Of the corporation to
encourage the building up of the city.
The restoration of the big belt"
would be of great benefit, and it
would require no great outlay.

Mrs. Sartoris. daughter of Gen.
Grant. lost in New York the other
day collection of jewelry of the value
of something like $1,000. There were
rings, brooches and other pieces In the
lot. The jewelry was picked up in
the street By a sandwich man." who
offered to sell it to a peddlar for IS
cents. The peddlar declined to pur-
chase. The sandwich man." then Of
fered the lot to a flower woman for
half a dollar, and she bought il for
her children to play with. The loss
Of the jewels was advertised in the
city papers. One of the advertise
ments fell under the flower wonan's
eye. and she took the articles to the
address given. Mrs. Sartoris was so
overcome on seeing her heirlooms in
possession of the flower woman that
she tainted. None of those who had
seen the gems had the slightest idea
of their value.

The Mobile Register, which is strong
ly anti-Hearst nevertheless finds much
TO be grateful to him for. Hearst has
sobered the Democrats into reflection"
says the Register. by repulsion he
has insured united party. This is
one service. He has aroused an inter-
est in politics among thousands who
ordinarily attend little to such matters.
This means gain for the Democratic
party" How does our contemporary
know that these things are not pre-
cisely what Mr.. Hearst set out TO ac-
complish? Every Democrat desires a
solidifed party and the arousing of
public interest in political matters.
May it not be that Mr.. Hearst went
about working for those ends in his
own peculiar way?

In the hotels and restaurants of New
York the orchestras almost invariably
play lively music, that written in two
step time being the favorite. There is
seldom or never any slow music, in
the public eating places. The reason
has been explained by a hotel man.
Music has a remarkable influence in
the speed with which people eat" he
says, land for that reason we never
have any slow music played here" In
short, the diners keep time with their
knives and forks TO the tune being
played by the orchestra, so that two
step aids them to get through the meal
in less time than d dreamy waltz
would, and the tables are more quick
ly cleared for other people who wish

Florida Natives Idea of Wealth.

"One's ideas of wealth are compare
tive" said a gentleman yesterday who
had just returned from an extended
Southern trip, according to the Balti-
more Sun. while in Florida, the land
of contentment, as we'll as of flowers,
l heard this story, which illustrates
my point. Several years ago there was
a boom in certain lands because of
rich phosphate deposits. A Spectator
asked one of those simple Florida folk
what would be the lowest price he
would take for some land, which be-
fore the boom he had been unable to
sell for $500. The owner really didn't
know The speculator agreed to de-
post in bank $4,000 to the owners
credit for the land. But this amount
of money in bank didn't mean very
much to the native.
He said he wanted a farm of sixty
acres with a house on 1.-THE whole
to cost few hundred.

American veil" is a 'net-like con-
trivance hung around the periphery OF
a large hat, and the person who sits

The Senate Committee on Commerce
has reported favorably on the bill OF
Senator Frye. providing for the crea-
tion of a commission, to be composed
Of five senators and five representa-
tives, of whom two shall be members
of the minority party of each house,
to consider and recommend legislation
for the development of the merchant
marine. The commission is empowered
to investigate, give hearings and all
that sort of thing; but can there be
the slightest doubt in any mind as
to what the recommendation will be?
The majority of the committee will
write as strong an argument as it
can in favor of subsidies, and the mi
nority will write against them. The
minority will have the weight of facts
on its side, but the majority will have
the most votes, and it's recommended
tion will go in as the recommended
ton of the committee. There isn't
any room for speculation as to how a

Boston celebrated during the
past few days the two hundredth an
niversary of the American newspaper
press. The first newspaper printed in
America was the Boston Newsletter,
established in April, 1904. 1t was a
little weekly of four pages. That was
fifty-nine years in advance. of a SINH
lar publication in Georgia, whose first
paper, the Georgia Gazette, was estab-
lished in this city in April, 1863, and
continued its weekly issues for more
than thirty years. At the time of its
establishment the Georgia Gazette was
the eighth newspaper to be printed in
the colonies. Like the Boston News
Letter, it was a small four-page pa
per, and contained very little local in
formation; but it was printed on so
excellent a quality of handmade pa
per that a bound volume of it's issues
covering several years, now in the
Morning News library, is in an excel
lent state of preservation.

$4,000 were talking the matter over
in the Senate lobby after the adverse
vote recently, says the New York Trib
une. Mr.. Tillman, who had voted
against the measure, expressed regret,
according to The Kansas City Jour
nal, that the dusky daughter of savage
kings did not seem able to understand
the strong prejudice existing in some
parts of the country against the black
races. Now. if she could show a
strain of white blood" he exclaimed,
and looked defiantly around.

he had heart trouble and visited

made an examination. At its con-

IROQUOIS FIRE.
Austrian Engineers Make Exhaustive
Tests With Model.

Chicago. March aS.-Information throw
ing new light on the funda mental cause
of the 1roquoiS theatre disaster has come
to Chicago in n report from the aSSocia-
ton Of civil engineers of upper Austria.
which has made exhaustive experiments
with a theatre model.
Ambassador Bellamy Storer forwarded
the document from Vienna. The Ans
TRANS hold that the cause of the calamity
as we'll as that of the Ring theatre in
Vienna, are to be found in the expansion
of air from heat and the resulting in
crease of pressure.
The engineers allege eff there are not
enough openings on the stage to allow
the expansion of air to give outlet to the
gases of combustion, the expansion force
Will push the curtain. if let down through
the prosecnium into the auditorium
The engineers declare that attention
should be directed to the fact that no
iron curtain would be strong enough to
withstand n One-Sided pressure of 80 to
leo atmosphere The curtain will be bent
and the heated air and gases of combus-
ton will enter the auditorium through
the openings produced at its borders.
The experts say the ventilation shafts
must be constructed in such way as to
allow them to operate the moment the
fire starts. This can be accomplished only
by the covering of the shafts with an
easily combuStible material like canavas
covered with paper and vanished, cellu-
loid. etc. To help the combustion of the
shaft covering it should have a central
hole one and n half inches in diameter.
