Elderly Maiden Had Business Ideas,
Too.

Ever hear the story of how w. w.
Corcoran, the millionaire art lover who
built the Corcoran gallery in Wash
ington, D. c., was thrown down by
an elderly maiden?" asked James Fol
lansbee of Baltimore, according to the
Milwaukee Sentinel. You will recol-
lect that Corcoran owned the Airing
ton Hotel in Washington. Patronage
was SO good that the quarters became
cramped, and additional land was
needed for an extension to the build
ing. The lot adjoining to the rear
was owned by an elderly lady, being
a portion of her back yard. The mil
lionaire hosiery keeper greatly de-
sired this parcel of land and for
months was cogitating how he would
approach his neighbor She being
wealthy, he came to the conclusion to
be entirely frank with her. satisfied
that she would not hold him up If he
divulged his plans to her. So he sat
down and wrote her a letter in which
he asked her how much she wanted for
her back yard. as he intended to en-
large his hotel. The same day he re-
ceived q neat perfumed note from his
neighbor which ran:
How much do you want for your
hotel, as we need 1t to enlarge our
back yard?
For once Corcoran was squelched. 4"

HARMONIzING DIFFERENCES.

Although the Democratic party is
united, there are some differences
among local factions which require ad-
iustment. To these differences. it is
understood, Judge Parker is now Civ
ing his attention. If he succeeds in
adjusting them the chances that the
Democratic party will elect its ticket
will be greatly increased.
One of these differences is between
factions in New York City. 1t is i'm
portant that Tammany shall be i'm full
harmony with the national ticket. As
yet, Mr.. Murphy, the Tammany lead
er, has made no sign that it is
his purpose to give an enthusiastic
support to the presidential ticket.
The reason is understood to be that
he wants an understanding as to what
share of the patronage Tammany is
to have in the event of the election
of Judge Parker, and whether Tam
many is to be consulted in the selec-
ton of candidates for state officers at
the approaching state convention. In
other words, Mr.. Murphy wants Judge
Parker to assure Tammany that Sena-
tor McCarren, of Brooklyn, will not
make war on Tammany; and also that
Tammany shall have the privilege of
naming the candidate of the party for
Governor. As Senator McCarren has
been a devoted friend of Judge Parker,
and was a factor in bringing about
his nomination, it ds a difficult mat
ter for him to interfere in the fight
between McCarren and Murphy. Still,
II is understood that negotiations are
under way for the adjustment of the
differences between the two leaders.
Another thing that is bothering
Judge Parker is the demand of Mr..
Taggart, of Indiana, TO be the chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, and hence the Democratic
campaign manager. MIR. Taggart isn't
acceptable to all of the Democratic
leaders, but there Is a faction in In
diana which insists that Taggart shall
have the place, the hint being given
that unless that programme is accept
ed the hope of the Democrats of car
rying Indiana must be abandoned.
There are other questions like these
which must be attended to at once.
In all of the questions there is a man
ifest determination of few men to
have their way regardless of the
will Of the party. Indeed, they
make the interests of the party mat
tiers Of secondary consideration. Judge
Parker is doing all he can to remove
these fractional differences from the po-
htical field, at least for the present,
and to bring the troublesome factions
together. The opinion is expressed
that he will succeed in his undertake
ing. and that within a few weeks all
friction within the party's lines will
have disappeared
