Sheehan Wants HilI,s Place.

The Hon. David Bennett Hill has de- elared his intention to vacate the leader ship of the state on January 1, and Blue Eyed Billie" Sheehan has come to the conclusion that the time has arrived for him to step into the vacant shoes. He expects the support of Chairman Cord Meyer, of MT. Rodie. the talented side partner of MT. Meyer; of the Hon. De Iancey Nicoll, and of Judge Parker. MT. Sheehan proposes to conduct the destinies of the democratic party in this state. This is delightful news. It encourages demo- crats If Sheehan is to become the demo- cratic state leader, county leaders should hurry up and get into line-be tail to the Sheehan comet. Defeat In November under Sheehar was bad, but leadership under Sheehar will be the deepest gulf of hopelessness.

ROBERTS & SON,
'sie 'sie THIRD AVE. ss.: sao"E
TEXANS ASK FOR 'NEscoRT.
Think New York Not So Lively
 Town as They Had Heard.
Lithographers. Printers, Manufacturing Stationers.

From the Washington Post.
 Into the Elizabeth street police station came three tall men late last night
 "We wan 'nescort." said the tallest.
 "What?' said the sergeant.
 e-want-an-escortw said all three in chorus.
 What for?"
 Wan do Chinatown"
 Cant you take care of yourselves? ?' The three men looked at one another and grinned Then one said very grave 1y:
 Were from Texas-ole Man Dade's outfit"
 Then I guess you fellows don't need much protection"
 That's so, an that's why we want it. Jf we get in howl somebody elsed bet ter do the talkin,." q sec" said the sergeant, respectfully But the best advice I can oner is to go without an escort and keep out of a howl
 A long silence, then;
 "Gues we'd better take the escort" Sorry; It's against the rules to pro- vide guides"
 Well, cant you tel us where we can smite the joy pipe?n
 There are no opium dens in this pre- clnct, said the sergeant severely
 "Reckn this is the holy city, said the tall Texan dryly.
 Another silence Then the one Texan turned to the other two.
 Say Bill, I guess that was dust you was breathen when you told us about this hot town. Didn't you say the police was on wise to good sports like us? Didn't you say the pice give you a Z brass band that stepped playing when fr1fn rfa artaH playin The Conk'rin Hero when you came out? That's wuss'n a snake story" A painful silence. The sergeant scrib- bled nervously on the botter. They were 'f'm Ole Man Dades outfit"
 The tallest Texan said
 ''I feel as If l was bon driv to drink" The other Texans appreciated his dry humor, and presently all were corralled In the corner saloon. The sergeant wip- Cd away beads of precipitation.

Grants Tomb Deterioratlnq.

Grants tomb is the latest of the public structures Tn New York to be seriously affected by climatic conditions. There is something in the air and climate of New York that has a most deteriorating effect upon granite and marble, and these sub stances do not lasts nearly so long here as they do elsewhere The treatment that will be given to Grants tomb is the same as was given the Obelisk in Central park a few years ago when 1t showed signs of weakening from the stress of the ele- ments. The damage at present to the monument has not gone very far as 1t has been carefully watched and steps taken to prevent the spreading of the leaks The treatment consists in spread ing over the exterior surface of the struc- ture preparation of paraffne wax which which will be burned into every crevice between the granite blocks, and when this has been accomplished 1t is claimed that the structure will be thoroughly pro- teeted from rain and storm for at least ten years. The location of Grants tomb is one of the most exposed in the city and the elements have full play on all sides.

Pallas Has Hard Time.

The official life of Park Commissioner John J. Pallas has not been happy one. By permitting the painting of signs on the fences surrounding the library build ing at Fifth avenue and Forty second street, he incurred the enmity and criti- cism of a number of organizations repre- senting the art interests, and the press was at the time inclined to poke fun at Mayor McClellan's commissioner who was so long the labor leader. But now MT. Pallas finds hmsel- criticised by the very organizations at whose instance he vas given official recognition, and this state of affairs was brought about by an order of the park commissioner forcing news stands from City Hall park. Members of the Central Federated Union have been discussing tho matter fully and one of it's prominent members has declared that in forcing the stands out of the park he had committed an outrage against honest boys and hardworlxing women and is de- priving them oe the means of making a livelihood. In the event that MT. Pallas refuses to rescind his order 1t is under stood thaht an appeal will be made to the mayor.

A Japanese Widows Hair.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 When a Japanese woman becomes a widow it is customary for her to cut off a part of her hair and bury it in the coffin with the body of her husband, but as she may please herself about 1t this sacrifice is not often large enough to spoil her pretty coffure, unless. indeed she de- termine to wear forever the badge of widowhood and give her life in complete devotion to the memory of the departed. in which case she cuts 1t all off and thenceforth never permits it to grow. There are great many women In Japan, and especially in the heart of the eoun- try where foreign influence has never reached who wear their hair bobbed like small boys, and oftentimes parted jauntily on the side and by this sign one may be sure that they are widows, and that they hang many prayer-slips at the temple doors and give their passing days in patient sweet devotion to the family and the home wherein they are sure to be much loved.

Patients Thousand Miles Apart.

In Harper's Magazine for December, Norman Duncan tells the true story of the wonderful work carried on by Dr. Wilfred Grenfell among the poor fisher men of the Labrador coast He Is the only doctor who visits certain parts of the coast:
 When Dr. Grenfell first appeared on the coasts, ! am told, the folk thought him madman of some benign descrip- tion. He knew nothing of the reefs, the tides, the currents. cared nothing, ap- parently, for the winds; he sailed with the confidence ard reckless courage Of a Labrador skipper. Fearing at times to trust his schooner in unknown waters, he went about in a whaleboat, ana so hard did he drive her that he wore her cut in a single season. She was cap sized with all hands, once driven out to sea, many times nearly swamped' once blown on the rocks; never before was a boat nuf to such tasks on that coast, and at the end of 1t she was wrecked beyond repair. Next season he appeared with a

Yerkes Comments Subway.

Charles T. Yerkes who owns the under ground roads in London. was recently an interested observer of the workings of New Yorks new subway. He expresses a very favorable opinion oftthe New York system, and made a humber of observa- tions in reference to the ventilation of the subway. In his opinion the system of pumping air in them that is in use in the modern mines is the ideal method of ventilating tunnels. In the old under ground railways in London ventilation was not considered and the result was that large air pumps have been installed which pump the air out every night, but MT. Yerkes declares that the London public does not seem to mind the condi- tions of the underground in this respect and on the lines to which he referred es- peeially the motive power was furnished by steam He also remarked that the subway air was considered sure cure for hay fever. This will be welcome news to New Workers who have not been devotng much time to the study of what the subway will prevent. but have spent quite a lot of printers ink in advertis- ing what 1t will cause In the way of dis ease and discomfort.

little steam launch, the Princess May her beam was eight feeti-in which he not only journeyed from St. Johns to Labra- dor, to the astonishment of the whole col- ony, but sailed the length of that bitter coast, passing into the gulf and safely out again, and pushing to the very farth- est settlements in the north. Later in the fall, upon the return journey to St. Johns in stormy weather. she was reported lost and many a skipper, I suppose, wondered that she had lived so long; but she wealth. cred a gale that bothered the mail boat, and triumphantly made St. Johns, after as adventurous a voyage no doubt, as ever boat of her measure survived.
 Sure. said a skipper. T don't know how she done it. The Lord he added, piously, must kape an eye on that man. ["

Tendency Of the Time

The tendency of medical science
Is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world Is
being given To the subject. 1t Is
easier and better to prevent than
to cure. II has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia. one of the
most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have To contend with. can
be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain'> Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from a cold
or from an attack of influenza
grip, and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any
tendancy of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of
colds and grip i'm recent years. and
can be relied upon with implicit
confluence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no
danger Is apprchenjed until it Is
suddenly discovered that there IS
fever and difficulty in breathing
and pains in the chest. then it IS
announced that the patient has
pneumonia. BE or the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy Is soon as the cold is con-
tracted. Ii always cures. For
