NnHue or n Dog.

"A dog is a chattel and, next to man,
is the most important factor in the past
and present history of the country"
Such is the decision as handed down
in the United States court of appeals in
the application of p. c. Burkal, serving
a sentence for larceny in Alaska, for a
writ of habeas corpus. in which a dog
constituted the property in question.
The writ was asked for on the ground
that stealing a dog in Alaska was not
larceny. as this animal is not specifically
mentioned in the statutes.

A Manager for Each Cow.

We much prefer a separate hanger for
each COW. We have had opportunity to
observe a number of stables where there
was one continuous hanger and have
yet to see n of this kind where each
cow got all that was intended for her
and no more or less. The long-necked
COW reachc3 over and helps herself at
the expense of her neighbor, and when
hers is gone calmly eats her own. 1t re-
minds us Of the time years ago we saw
a herd of elephants feeding on hay at

Spread Of Enjoyment.

We read good deal in the delicious
society letters from various fashion
able resorts as to what the people are
doing who are worth noting. 1t is
among the most enjoyable flubdub that
the press gives to it's readers. especial
ly when it brcathes the seriousness
with which these idlers take them
selves and their performances prelim-
mary to divorce proceedings.
But there is comparatively little
written of what the unimportant thou
sands do, who do the worlds work and
make it so and carry the loafers. Yet
life has changed for Them far more
than for the accidental few whose
abundance is practically unlimited.
recent years has been the growth in
the notion of outings and enjoyment.
There is no longer any restriction Of
this sort Of thing to the comparatively
rich. The door opens for all.
Probably the trolley has had as
much to do with this widening Of op-
portunity as any other factor. 1t has
made it possible to go out into the
country at trifling expense from every
center Of population. This is not all.
The country is well enough and de-
lightful variety for the city people, but
it is better yet to have something
definite at the end of the line; accord
ingly there has grown up a swarm of
amusement establishments to which
trolley lines are tributary; often the

terested in them. These are at every
lake and sprinkled all along the sea-
Shore and tho interesting detail about
them is that in nine cases out of ten
they prove profitable to their owners
The habit Of going has developed, and
consequently people go elsewhere as
well as to the trolley points and it is
the thing to get away even if it is only
to camp at the shore or live in q

At home the disposition to enjoy
ones self has grown too, and the sur
est evidence Of this is seen in thu
amount of space the newspapers have
to give every day to what are called
sports. The ball games, the races and
so on are elements of the days doings

They draw great crowds and are dis
cusscd by many more than see them
There is no doubt about it that tho
people amuse themselves far more thar

been disarmed. All that the so-called
fusion elements have been demanding
has been given in full measure. Ac-
cording to unbiased testimony, Nc
Clellan is giving the people of this
town the kind of government they
have been longing for vainly for many
years.
Murphy never had any other candi-
date for mayor. He was for Mcclellan
first, last and all the time. He never
doubted that the young congressman
was the right man for the place.
In the face of tremendous pressure
he stuck to him even when the great
Democratic organization of Kings
county threatened to revolt. The wis
dom of his course has been completely
vindicated.
Occasionally a CRY is raised that the
mayor is too strict and that the sport
ing element in Tammany hall is too
powerful to be put down. Neverthe-
less, the policy pursued by the mayor
and Mr.. Murphy in this matter has re-
ceived the approval of the ablest and
most important Democrats in New
York, many of whom have never here
tofore been identified in any way with
Tammany hall.
Mr.. Murphy's desire to raise the
tone Of the Democratic organization in
New York has been manifested in
various ways. The first delegation he
ever sent to state convention con-
tained the names of men of national
prominence in the business, social, pro-
fessional and financial worlds.
He labors constantly to dispel the
impression that Tammany is merely
another name for organized graft.
He is attracting back to the councils of
the party men of. high ability, whose
voices were stilled during the Croker
regime.
He has pushed to the front such
men as Victor ]. Bowling and John
J. Delany, and he has sent Bourke
Cochran back to congress. And finally
he has wiped out practically every
trace of Crokerism in Tammany hall.
AS district leader Murphy was the
author of several innovations in prac-
tical politics. He was one of the first
thoroughly to systematize the work,
and the result showed in the majorities
he rolled up for the Tammany ticket
every year. His was always either
the banner district or close second to
it.
He kept tabs on the polling list, and
if any citizen in the district suspected
of being Democrat had not cast his
vote by 3 o'clock in the afternoon he
received card by messenger court
eously inviting him to the polls.
For two hours every night, winter
and summer Murphy stood at the
corner of Second avenue and Twenti
eth street. 1t was here he transacted
his business as district leader.
The alderman and the assemblymar
were always within hailing distance
so that when a constituent had favor
to ask the matter could be settled ther
and there without delay and without
red tape.
Although he stood outside the sa
loon, which he then owned, Murphy
would take a drink with no one wht
sought him on business pertaining tt

his leadership. He made the people

his leadership. He made the people
with whom he dealt understand that
they We're not under the necessity of
spending money in his place.
This was the main reason why lie
stood outside in all kinds of weather
instead OF transacting his business in
the saloon. This did not please other
district leaders who had saloons They
said it created Il bad precedent.
Murphy carried his devotion to de-
tails into the leadership of Tammany
hall. Every day he is in town he
spends three hours ut the Fourteenth
Street Wigwam, listening, advising
and arguing With district leaders, Of
ticelolders otficeseekers and the pco-
pie who have business or think they
have business, with Tammany hall.
1t is nerve raclling task, and Muir
phys friends say he will have to give
it up, as Croker gave it up and Lewis
Nixon gave it up. Tile last named
leaders came to spend less and less
time at Tammnny hall.
The trite old saw, that politics
makes strange bedfellows, was never
better illustrated than in the case Of
Murphy. His one inseparable COM
panion is J. Sergeant Cram. Harvard
graduate and man of leisure.
1t is their custom to take long walks
together nearly every day. Sometimes
they walk from Tammany hall up
Fifth avenue to the northern boundary
of Central park. at 10th street. Oc-
casionally they drive behind Mr..
Grants team.
In the old days Murphy was a
noted athlete and boxer, and. like
Croker he was admired quite as much
for his physical prowess as for his
skill as a political leader. He was one
of the hest amateur baseball players
in the country and took part in many
noted contests when the Haymakers
and the Flyaways and the Red Stock
ings ruled the diamond.
He was also an amateur Oarsman of
wide renown on the East Side. Even
today he has warm spot in his heart
for the old baseball players. and they
are always sure of welcome at Tam.
many hall.
Outside of walking and driving. Mr.
Murphys chief amusement is playing
golf. He first took up the game at
Hot Springs. Va, last November. and
has since become a golf enthusiast.
He rarely takes drink, and is not
Interested in horseracing. He reads
little except the newspapers and the
magazines. After the last election, he
began to wear glasses, his eyesight
having been injured by the poor light
in Tammany hall. ...
There has been good deal of talk
about the change that came over Muir
ply after he became the supreme lead
er of Tammany hall. 1t is true tha
his mind has broadened and that ht
has been sObered by the heavy re
spOnsibilities he assumed.
Otherwise he is the same Charlie
Murphy of Second avenue, envied ant
admired by every STRIPPING in the Ga'
House district. He is still the leader
there, and his home is in the district
