What's called double life,
A term applied to those who wed
More than a single wife.
The Prophet Smith he hath five
wives
And children by the score;
Therefore he leads quintuple lives,
And sometimes many more.
The difference in the men is this.
Smith wants to keep his wives;
The others find no welded bliss

New York, May 17.-Rapid prog

The signing Of the J. T. Smith bill
by Governor Odell has injected new
life into the Ramapo company, which
came within an ace of squeezing $780,
100000 out Of the city a few years
ago. The Smith bill directly exempts
the Wappinger watershed in Duchess
county from the sources of supply
available to this city and indirectly
exempts the Rondout and Esopus
watersheds.
TO get at either Of the latter will
cost the city $4,000, 900 more than it
would to tap the Wappinger region
and eventually the city must either
pay the additional $50,OO0,000 or deal
with the hidden interests controlling

Federation, thru its eonci liation CONF

bring about a settlement or the ex-
listing differences between the Lake
Carriers association and the Masters
and Pilots association.
District Captain Paul Howell Of the

A. Moore, chairman Of the concilia-
ton committee, wrote that if the COM
mittee can bring about settlement
that would be acceptable to both sides
of the controversy he certainly would
think a great good had been accom-
plished. But he thought 1t should
not be done at his solicitation, as the
other side would say it was sign OF
weakness on the part Of his associa-
ton, which is willing to stay out un-
til Jan. 1, 1905, if necessary to get our
just demands"

Of the Masters and Pilots were re-
ceived to-day by Captain Howell from

VOTES TO LOWDEN
Governor Says He Will Not
Yield in Illinois Republican
Convention.

Springfield, Ill, May 17.-Confer-
ences to break the deadlock in the
republican state convention seeming
fruitless, the delegates to-day faced a
prospect of further stubborn ballotlng.
J. H. Neville, Of Governor Yates
campaign committee, said that no
agreement between Yates and any of
the candidates had been reached, but
that if the balloting failed to produce
results before 4 o'clock this afternoon,
further efforts would be made to get
the candidates together.
During one of the conferences the
governor is said to have made the
statement that, as he had more votes
than any other candidates he ought to
be the last one that could be expected
to withdraw and that rather than
Weld an inch he would let the conven-
ton adjourn sine die or take a forty
day recess.
There was some depression among
the Lowden men who had expected
substantial gains yesterday and VINO,
to-day, seemed confronted by posi-
bility that Colonel Lowden might be
forced to a choice between Yates and
Deneen.

AN EARLY TRIAL

Former Mayor Ames Due to Be
Tried Again Next
Week.

If the states witnesses In the bril-
berry case against former Mayor A.
A. Ames can be found and their at
tendance at court secured, County At
torney b. H. Boardman will probably
move the Bessie Lee indictment
against the genial doctor" for trial
next week.
SO much was intimated by the coun-
ty attorney in discussing the Ames
case this morning. Il certainly be-
lieve that as long as thee is a pos
sibility Of securing verdict, DR..
Ames should be tried until jury pro-
nounces him guilty or not guilty" said
Mr.. BOardman. 1.-THE former mayor
Is not different from any other de-
fendani in this court, and he should
be treated no differently. Our trouble
now is, however, to get hold of the
states witnesses"
The county attorney refused to state
positively whether or not the case
would be moved this term, but said
that he would know by Friday. In
the meantime it is understood that
witnesses has been instituted, and if
favorable results are obtained, the
twice tried former mayor may again
have to intrust his fate in the hands
Of jury Of his peers.

Developments in the Ames investiga-

DR.. Ames appeared before Judge
C. B. Elliott this morning and, with

Lee bribery case was reset for Friday

court to order an immediate trial
He based this request upon a state

nesses-Augusta Hayden, Pawnbroke1
Roth and w. w. Brown-who wish
| to leave the city, and are kept here
at the defendants expense. Mr.. Cary
asked the county attorney directly il

| that his intention in the matter would
be made known on Friday.

C0RTELY0U AND
HIT THE MEN
President Pleased Over Prospects
Of Chairman and Running
Mate Being Found.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, May lit is a good
betting proposition that Secretary
Cortelyou Of the department of COM
merce and labor will be chairman Of
resigning his cabinet portfolio prior to
assuming the duties Of that position.
and after the election succeeding Mr..
Payne as postmaster general.
This Is the program favored by the.
president and 1t will be made oper-
ative if Endorsed by the conference Of
party leaders, to be held at the White
House before the end of May.
The president has been having the
time of his life finding a suitable man
for the national craftsmanship, and he
snapped at the Cortelyou suggestion
as eagerly as a trout at a fly.
The plan may, of course, fall thru,
put at present there seems to be moth
ing in it's way.
Several months ago it was decided
that Mr. Cortelyou should succeed
Postmaster General Payne, and that
James r. Garfield should succeed Mr..
merce and labor. The national chair
manship will not interfere with this,
altho it will take Mr.. Cortelyou from
official life earlier.
Personal Objection. Overcome.
The only objection was a personal
one with Mr.. Cortelyou, and it has
been overcome. He Is one of the best
Organizers the cabinet has had for
many years and he has a high order Of
administrative ability.
He has put in nearly all his time
| in his present position organizing the
department of commerce and labor
| and getting it ready for serious work.
1t seems at first blush hardly fair to
take him away from that place at a
time when he Is about ready to take
up the serious work of the depart
| ment and make a name for himself.
The president was impressed with
this point, but after mature delibera-
ton both concluded that the proposed
change would be for the best all
around, and so it is likely to be made.
1t is predicted here that If Cortel-
you is made national chairman his I'M
terially strengthen the campaign and
win him new laurels. For many
months he has acted as presidential
adviser in politics and he would take
up the new position ready from the
first to discharge it's duties intelli-
gently and energetically.
Hit Is Acceptable.
The Hit vice presidential boom is
catching on in the east, and Hit seems
to be we'll in the lead and likely to
win, unless unlocked for complica-
lions should arise. He is entirely sat-
isfactory to the party, so far as can
be ascertained.
1t is no secret that the White House
would rather have him than Fair
! banks or anybody else who has been
| mentioned, except Cannon, and Can
mons nomination is generally conceded
to be out of the question. It would
| spoil one Of the best speakers since
the war to make only an ordinary vice
president, for nobody in that office can
be more than ordinary, and some
/ have not even been that.
