tative that the only desire was to move
with proper caution.
The city ordinances say that there
is no compensation for the services OF
a park commissioner, and this was the
foundation for Aid. Eckhart's opposi-
ton. Mr.. Gazetteer claimed that the
$3.50 was due him for actual labor per.
formed and for the housing of the
tools belonging to the city and used in
Longview park, which he has kept on
his own premises the past three years.
Aid. Eckhart says that if Mr.. Gaet-
jer's bill is allowed there is nothing
to prevent the commissioners of the
other two parks making similar de
mands. and that they are just as much
entitled to pay for the work they have
done as he is.

Address Of a Successful Man TO
Young Teachers.
-
Secret Of Success Lies in q Willing
ness to do Something More Than
Mere Routine Work Required
Of Any Position.

Chicago. Dec. 2s.--Timothy L. Wood
run, former lieutenant governor Of
New York. In a speech delivered at the
national convention OF the Commercial
and Shorthand Teachers Association
last night. said that the large cities
furnish the opportunities and that the
teachers should make their fight for
success In cities like New York and
Chicago.
"The. opportunities that present
themselves to young men and young
women In all the great centers Of
population are abundant today" he
said.
III young man or young woman Is
earnest Of purpose and diligent. Is 1t
not wiser to seek thing where II
abounds even II competition for II Is
great. rather than 10 seek II where
competition IL less. but where II may
not exist at allY'
"The real secret OF success" he COM
tinued, in commercial life lies In a
willingness and In an effort to do
something more than merely perform
the routine work demanded OF the po-
stion.
Among all OF the opportunities
which this country affords none come
more frequently or with greater prom
ise than those which are within the
grasp OF the stenographer or the type
writer"

LOOKS LIKE A NEW NAN.

CAS- the various state conventions OF
the democrats are being held, the
alignment of delegates seems to cen
ter around VIM r. Hearst and Judge
Parker, with the pledged or instructed
delegates about evenly divided be-
tween the two: If this condition con-
tinues up to July, it is quite probable
that neither Hearst nor Parker can
get the two-thirds necessary for a
nomination, and that some new man
will be sprung, upon which both ele-
ments can agree.
The following of Judge Parker
seems. to be the most enthusiastic in
the states where the monied inter
ests have gained control of the party,
and these followers seem to think the
democrats. must nominate some man
whoscan get the support of. these in
tereStS.
On the other hand, the followers of
Mr.. Hearst are confined mostly to the
agricultural states, or the states where
the democratic organization is not
