Mndd,a ROH Game.

A story is told which would seem to
give abundant evidence that one of the
young sons of Representative Mudd OF
Maryland, is true game, all wool, and
a yard wide says the Washington
Times.
A friend of the Maryland represen-
tative says: "Mr. Mudd is firm with
his children, but they love and do not
fear him. One day he was told that one
of the youngsters had been pitching
pennies-heads and tails. The young
fellow was brought to the rack, and
like the immortal George, he could not
tell a lie but confessed that he had
been trying his luck.
Il think said Mr.. Mudd, that 1t
is my duty to give you a sound whip
ping for this act, for you know how
bitterly opposed 1 am to such species
of gambling
"'Well, father said the boy, I
know 1 ought not to have been pitch
pennies, but I'll go you head or tails
for two whippings or none

tanned"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Greenville Is. Co. News Dem
says: THE statement that a dark
horse will be named as Mr. Roose-
velt's running mate does not neces-
sari1y imply that he will be trotted
out from Tuskeegee, Alabama"
The Nashville News (Dem.) says:
"If Roosevelt is erratic, the Democratic
nominee must be reliable; if Roose-
welt is visionary, the Democratic cam
didates must be logical and forceful;
If Roosevelt is reckless, the Demo-
cratic candidate must be conservative,
and II Roosevelt violates the law and
the constitution, the Democratic can
didate must be its sworn defender. 1t
is along these lines that Democratic
success lies. and away from them there
is no possible hope of success"
The Indianapolis News (Dem) says:
Every one supposed four years ago
that no convention could be more cut
and dried than the Philadelphia Con-
vention. But that was nothing to the
Chicago Convention. Everything seems
to be arranged and determined be-
forehand. The candidate is decided on,
the platform has been made the chair
man of the National Committee has
been picked out. All that is asked of
the convention is to ratify the work
that has been done by the party man
ayers at Washington"
The Hartford Comm Times (Dem.)
says: THE real question to be asked
is, not who are committed to Parker,
but. who are opposed to him. The
answer 10 this question is that only
the adherents of Bryan and Hearst I'm
the convention will seek TO defeat him
by attempting a combination on some
new man. Who Is going into such a
combination? Not the Southern men,

TWO PICTURES.

Stock gambling brings full rockets
and happiness to some and despair and
death to others. On Friday we pub
lished an account of the suicide of
Charles S. Mccoy. at Jacksonville. It
seems that Mccoy was an attorney
from Chicago, who was in Florida for
the purpose OF settling up a large es-
tate in which Chicago parties were in
terested. While in Jacksonville he got
to specializing in stocks through a To-
cal brokerage house, with the result
that he lost about $4,000. The infer
ence from the story told in the dis
patches was that he couldn't afford to
lose so large a sum. The suicide was
committed under circumstances of a
very distressing character.
Saturdays New York newspapers an
nounced that ex-Mayor vanWyck of
that city had decided to go abroad for
a few months vacation. They also
stated that he had been remarkably
successful in Wall Street during the
last few months, that he had made as
much as 81. 100000.

he had was what he had made out of
some ice stock which came into his
possession before or after he became
Mayor. With this money ne began

side, and it seems that he was almost
uniformally successful

vention, but he doesn't intend to bother

of his large fortune-a fortune that
has been made in less than year
was won by gambling in the stock of
the steel corporation. He sold that
stock when 1t was quoted at about SO.
and kept on selling It until IL dropped
30 about cents on the dollar.

holders of that stock i'm all parts of
the country lost, Mr.. Vanwyck and his
friends won. Those who bought the

A New York paper publishes an odd
story about William Rockefeller. James
Stillman, H. Mex. Twombley, D. o..
Mills and few other millionaires who
are directors of the New York Cen
trail Railroad. Since the time of Com
modore Vanderbilt it has been the GUS
tom to hand each director a $40 gold
piece every time he attends direc-
tors meeting. 81 do not think $40
is enough" William Rockefeller is
quoted as saying; why, there are some
companies that pay $500. The Cana
dian Pacific pays $1,000 a year." said
Mr.. Stillman, according to the report.
That's the right thing to do" put in
Mr.. Twombley. "A $40 gold piece is
nuisance; what can one do with it?'
said Mr.. Stillman. Il can always
use it," said D. o. Mills. But it
isn't enough" insisted Mr.. Rockefeller,
The matter was finally referred to a
committee of directors, with power TO
act. 1t is to be hoped that the COM
mittee will be able to come to some
agreement that will be satisfactory. 1t
would be unpleasant to nave Messrs.
Rockefeller, Stillman. Twombley, Mills
and others going out on strike for an
increase of pay. DR.. Depew, who is
also of the directorate of the New
York Central, says he is satisfied with
the pay. He is alleged to receive not
less than $4,000 a year from fees for
attending meetings of directors of va
rious corporations.

"MOTHER' EDDY's SUGGESTION.

The influence which Mrs. Eddy has
upon her followers is remarkable
Sometime about May she had
a bylaw added to the bylaws of the
Christian Science Church to the eff
feet that members of the Mother
Church" be not members of clubs con-
fined exclusively to one sex. And since
that time women adherents of the
Christian Science faith in New York
have been dropping out of the clubs
to which they belonged so rapidly that
1t looks as If in the very near future
about all of them would be out. They
haven't made any noise in getting out
They have managed the matter so
quietly that only recently was the ex-
tent of the exodus realized.
Some of the most prominent club
women in New York are Christian
Scientists. 1t is said that they were
greatly infatuated with their clubs
and found it rather hard to obey the
new bylaw, but when they under
stood that it was the wish of the head
of their church that they should aban-
don their clubs they didn't hesitate
as to the course to be pursued
The reason for the bylaw is said, to
be that Mrs. Eddy thinks clubs are
not beneficial to members of the
Christian Science church. In the
clubs, according to Mrs. Eddy, there
is too much gossip. and troubles, physi-
cal and mental, are talked of to such
an extent that women have more to
meet" than they can meet sue
cessfully. Besides, it is her opinion
the requirements of the clubs leave too
little time for church duties, and per-
haps for domestic duties in general.
1t seems to be a little remarkable
that Mrs. Eddy should have turned
her face against women's clubs 1t is
to be presumed, however, that she
studied the subject carefully before she
decided that it would be better for
women of the Christian Science faith
to be out of them.

A DRAMATIC SITUATION.

There may be doubt as to whom
the Democratic National Convention
will nominate for President, but there
is no doubt that former Senator Hill
and Mr.. Bryan will be members of
the platform committee and that the
meeting is one to which Mr.. Hill has
been looking forward with the keen
| est pleasure for a long time.
1t will be recalled that at the Kan
sas City Convention. Mr.. Hill begged.
with tears in his eyes, of the New York
delegation to name him as the New
! York member of the platform COM
ntittee. Before the delegation left
| New York IL had been agreed that
he should be the New York member
I of the committee, and the whole coun-
try was surprised when. at Kansas
! City, Mr.. Croker, the chairman of the
| delegation, suddenly changed his mind
| and refused to give the place to Mr..
| Hill. 1t was supposed that Mr.. Crok-
| er regarded Mr.. Hill as an enemy to
| Tammany and had taken that oppor-
tunty to humiliate him.
|
York World. however, such was not
| the case. It was Mr.. Croker's inten-
! ton to stand by the agreement that
had been made before the delegation
| left New York, but it seems that Mr..
| Bryan, by means of the telephone, at
his home in far-away Lincoln, Neb.,
| demanded that Mr.. Hill be kept off
hn 1nkf
| thought it advisable to comply with
| the demand. Hence he disregarded his
| agreement and Mr.. Hills pleading and
put Mr.. VanWyck on. the committee
ais New York's representative. In
| consequence of Mr.. Hills absence from
the committee, Mr.. Bryan was able
to dictate the platform-to have the
dead issues of the Chicago platform
written into it.
But he will not be able to keep MT.
Hill off the platform committee at the
st. Louis convention. Both of them
will be members of the committee, and
it is pretty safe to say that the sit
uation will be dramatic one. That
Mr.. Hill will have his way in regard
to the platform utterances, so far as
the platform committee Is concerned,
there is no doubt. What the conven-
ton will do is another matter, but Mr..
Hill is match for Mr.. Bryan not on
ly in a platform committee, but also
in convention. Mr.. Bryan will not
be able to sway the convention of 1904
as he did that of 1885, The dead is
sues of the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms will have no place in the
st. Louis platform

Gen. James N. Tyner, former Assist
ant Attorney General of the Postoffice
Department, may sue President Roose-

the reflections made upon him as an
occupant of that Office. 1t will be re-

charges and the Bristow investigation,
the President issued a proclamation
relative to the postal frauds and graft
ing in which he named Gen. Tyner
as one of the grafters. General Ty-
ner was tried in court on the charges
against him and acquitted, He then
wrote an open letter to the President
in which he requested that Justice be
done him and that retraction of the
allegations be published by the Presi-
dent. No reply has been sent to Gen.
Tyner's letter begging justice. Gen. Ty-
ner, who is confined to his bed by az
ness, declined to say whether a suit
against the President had been or
would be instituted.
