There is a movement on foot, believed to he
backed by Charles F. Murphy. to retire. Louis r
Haffen from tho presidency Of the Borough Of
The Brax next year and put Park Comnis-
soner John J. Brady in his place.
Mr. Haffen is not particularly anxious TO serve
another term as Borouga President. but he would
like to be nominated for Sheriff or County Clerk
HIS friends say he Is poor man. and that his
long service in Tamnauy Hall and as leader Of
The Bronx Democracy entities him 20 county
office with big pay.
Il is conceded that IL will he easy for Mr.. Haf-
fer 10 retire from the Presidency Of The Bronx
Borough. but II will be quite another matter for
him 10 get a big county ofice.

Bronx makes II e valuable adjunct 10 Tammany

many and stand for fax divisipn Of The patron
sge. II is charged against Hsrer that he has
used the patronage OF hts ofics TO buIid UP

dependent TO suit the boss OF Tammany.
II is charged by some OF Murphys friends
that many Of Haffen's followers are Republ-
cans. who vote the Republican ticke- in state
and national campaigns and swing back into
lire with Hafen at the primaries and IN local
elections.

Niece of Father PheIan

Miss Retta G. Cantwell, a
niece of the Reverend Father
David s. Phelan, editor OF the
Western Waterman, eloped to
Clayton Friday morning with
Arthur M. Macheca Of No. 5024
Westminster place. A civil
ceremony was performed by
Justice of the Peace Frank l..
Stobie Of Wellston.
A religious ceremony will be
performed this afternoon at the
Rock Church, provided a dis
pensation can be secured from
Archbishop Glennou, by one of
the Redemptionist priests at
that place. as both Mr., and Mrs.
Macheca are Catholics.
Peculiar interest is lent to the
elopement. from the fact that
the bride was reported engaged
to another, and, it is said, was
to be ma rried to him in June.
Mrs. Machen denied this report
last night, but it was confirmed
by members OF her family.

Vanderbilt can write a few

The United States can take

following truth Sunday that
tells the whole story of Demo-

supremacy in this state. Says
the Star.
Mlssourians should do very
little kicking about their taxes.
They "get off easy" compared
with the farmers OF Kansas,
Iowa and Illinois. The rate in
Missouri on the 800 valuation
for General revenue purposes is
fifteen cents; in Iowa it is twen-
ty eight cents; in Illinois it is
forty cents and in Kansas fifty

The Size Of NOah'S Ark.

Syren and Shipping: Within
the last 10 years the general d.
menslons of the Ark have been
closely followed by cargo steam
ship builders for deep sea
and the American Great Lakes
service. According to the Bible
the ark was 46O feet long, 80
feet wide and AZ feet deep. Her
tonnage was IL. Alb. and she had
enough room for pairs of the
distinct species of animals that
are classed by Buffon-244-and
she could have accommodated
1000 persons and then have
plenty of room for the storage
of supplies. Ia the seventeenth
century Peter Jansen, a Hol-
lander, built a vessel OF the ex-
act proportions of the ark, and
she was succeeful, as the records
of the times show, in making
money for her owners. Noah,
the Father of Naval Architec-
ture," is held in profound re.
spect by the naval architects of
today, who know how immeas.
urably the Phoanicians, Greeks,
aud Romans and all other ship
builders fell short of the excel
lences of the type of the ark as
a commodious, safe and econom'
zeal vessel.
