clean a man as could have been nominated
went down with a crash under a plurality
of 1,O56, the largest up to 1902, ever given
nominee for city office.
Mr.. Fogarty and his friends were respon-
sible for the crash. His success in the con-
vention was due to the shrewd manipula
ton of the political machinery by Mr.. Fo-
garty and his friends. All else on the po-
litical altar went down before the on
slaught and he was nominated. The ruth
less cutting down of other candidates Gre
ated i'll feeling, which was carried TO the
polls, but Mr.. Fogarty was elected.
Mr.. Fogarty untried political
quantity; a bricklayer by trade, a gentle
man in appearance, pleasant to meet and
hail fellow we'll met, he made friends. but
he failed TO gain the confidence of some of
the most substantial elements. Being I'M
tried there was much fear to the char
acter of his administration and some of the
best men in his party refused to trust him
and voted against him. But he shrewd,
or, rather, his friends were shrewd, and
played their hand well. He posed as the la
Dor candidate. as the union mems nominee
I and as the advocate of a liberal policy.
Playing upon these various strings he
swung into the mayors chair by a tremen-
dous plurality
Mayor Fogarty's administration began on
Monday, Sept. /. 1902. 1t was not many
weeks until the people who keep in touch
with both sides of city life discovered that
Mayor Fogarty was an exponent of liber-
atty In its most liberal sense-a wide open
city. For nearly two years that has been
his policy. 1t seems TO be common knowl
edge that saloons violate the laws, that the
social evil exists practically unchecked,
that lewd women have the freedom of the
streets, that gambling meets slight resist
ence and that there is a very general dis
regard of law. Among lava hiding citizens
who are familiar with conditions the city
is not only described as wide open but by
the disgusting term, rotten" And not only
is the deplorable moral situation thing Of
common knowledge locally, but the city's
reputation abroad is the same.
AGAIN ELECTED
This is the condition into which South
Bend has come under the first term of
Mayor Fogarty. He alone is responsible, al

ing he took a ramble into the woods which
surrounded the town in those days. Not
being accustomed to ranging far from the
busy haunts of men, Croker ventured fur
Their than he intended and became lost in
the wilderness. From Tuesday morning un-
til Thursday evening he wandered amid the
solitude of that forest primeval. until he
was about to give UP m despair. But to-
wards sunset on the third day he came to
a clearing and across little field spied
cabin, to which he FASTENED as fast as
his jaded limbs would carry him. He was
half-famished, but a glass of cold water
from the spring and a good warm supper
revived him. He hired his benefactor to
take him to town in wagon, a distance
of several miles that night, and reached
Perryville just in time to witness the burn
ing of a negro at the stake The horribly
greWSOme sight was one that never can
be forgotten. The next day he took the
boat for Little Rock, glad to leave the place
where the two most distressing incidents
of his life had been experienced

in the springtime. He carries with him, as
the accompanying picture shows. his hat
block and all the implements OF trade nee
essary for building and shaping hats as he
goes.
Rather retiring and diffident in demeanor,
but alert frugal and Industrious, Croker
finds all the work he can do, and, it is
said, has managed TO save neat sum, so
that TO use his own expression. he will
be dependent on no one when he gets old"
Though he has but more milestone

the age of three score years and ten. this
venerable builder of hats would laugh at
the suggestion that he is getting too old

George w. Croker was born just sixty
nine years ago. at Monterose, Pa, and
learned the trade of a hat builder in the
factory of his uncle. Amos Cornell. a
pioneer hat manufacturer at Catskill, N. Y.
Before he was twenty Croker began his
wandering, desiring to see the world. and
though he has travelled by easy stages all
over the United States, this nomadic hat
builder has never beat his way on any
railroad nor 'jumped" a hotel bill. He pays
his way as he gees and has never owed
a dollar to any man in his life. In all his
peregrinations Croker has never been in
a wreck and few events of special interest
have Gomez within his range. The one try
ing situation of his life was when he got
lost in the woods at Perryvlle, Ark long
years ago. He had worked the town, but

road facilities in southern Indiana are
such that it takes 1872 miles of riding to
reach Jasper from the capital city. Jasper
is difficult of access owing to the fact that
railroad runs through it. Its only
outlet is a spur six miles long, which taps
the main line at Huntingburg.
Most cities and towns in Indiana strike
the traveller as being about the same, but
Jasper has an individuality all it's own.

English but German is more natural and

The enterprising travelling man who
wishes to get through his work quickly,
sometimes employs an interpreter TO assist
him in canvassing among the farmers.
The prevailing religion is Catholic, and the
sermons are delivered in German, except
once a month, when an English sermon
is preached. The children at their play
use German, and all except the real young
ones can speak both German and English.
Strange as il may seem, Jasper was set

The record for 1908 is most remark

every fatality among passengers of
wrecked vessels on our coasts was
caused by the premature action of the
passengers themselves.
Property Saving Great.
THE amount of property imperiled
in the wrecks of 1903 exceeded $S,000,-
900 in value and of this vast amount
less than $3,0O0.0OO was lost. AS
matter of fact, this bureau saves from
three to eight times each year what
it costs to maintain the service, to say
nothing of the saving of human life,
which is its primary object.

16 life-s saving stations, and at these
various points there are constantly on

The police will try to get service
with the warrant at a late hour this
afternoon. The specific charge against
Cooper is trespass. An endeavor will
be made by the police to see what
there is in this strange story of the
woman, and to force the man to keep
away from her home.
Cooper is about so years old and Mrs.
Marcello appears to be nearly S5 years
of age. She is a tall, slender woman
and decidedly handsome.
