CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The call for a campaign fund of
$4,000 for Mr.. Jerome is significant
of the extent to which money has
entered into the politics of our cities.
this money will be used for corruption,
yet the expense of running Mr.. Jerome
as a reform candidate exceeds the
salary of the office for the four years
he has occupied it. The itemized ac-
count of what this money is for is not
complete, but some of the items are
for watching the polls $4,000, for
printing and posting $4,000. Rent of
nails, carriages, expenses of speakers
and many other smaller items of a
campaign will easily eat up the rest.
Some Of Mr.. Jerome's expenses will
be proportionately higher than they
would have been had he taken a party
nomination. For example, the poll
watchers, that is the men who check
the voters as they cast their ballots
and keep tab on who has voted and who
has not, could do the work for a whole
ticket, but in Mr.. Jeromes interest 1t
will cost as much to do it for nim alone.
In the matter Of hiring halls ne will
be put to a larger expense than an
other, a candidate on a ticket with
al I,0
items.
Be he never so popular a candidate,
an office in New York without a large
expenditure of money by or for him.
The voters of the slums expect to
be treated and while Mr.. Jerome will
do very little of this personally, he will
have to be represented by some one
who can go into the sodden districts
and pull out some votes.
The encouraging thing about the
Jerome campaign is not that ne is pre-
tending to run without money, but that
the people are making a subscription
to see him through this fight. Sub
scription lists have been opened by the
New York Evening Post and other
newspapers, and they will take any
sum a citizen may wish to give to help
Mr.. Jerome and account for it. This
method of raising money takes very
largely the curse off money in politics.
There will be no corporation which can
go to Mr.. Jerome after the balloting,
if he is elected, and cloim a proprietary
interest in him. The whole interest is
the interest of the people.
The Jerome experiment is one of the
most interesting in the history of New
York politics. The district attorney is
running on his record. His record is
good. He will be on the ballot and it
rests with the people to find it and
vote it, Whether they do this or fail
to do it, it includes a much larger is
sue than whether Mr.. Jerome Snail or
shall not occupy the of1ice-it is a test
of whether machinery or right senti-
ment toward a public official is going
to prevail.

Hash In a New Dress.

Here is a new form for that old
standby, hash, one Of the best and
cheapest of dishes if made of good ma
terials and served in attractive form:
Chop a pint of meat scraps fine, sea-
son with salt and pepper and add one
cup Of hot water. Boil it for few
minutes, then spread it in a granite
baking pan. Chop two good sized on
ions and boil until tender and spread
over the hash. Make a dressing OF
one-half pint Of breadcrumbs, one beat
en- egg, salt, pepper, little sage. Mix
we'll, spread on top Of the onions and
bake twenty minutes in a moderate
oven.

Let the maiden inclined to embon-
point follow this advice and her form
should become as willowy as she could
wish: Rise early and take a cold bath,
rubbing vigorously afterward with a
coarse towel or flesh brush. Drink a
cupful Of water before breakfast.
Take one small cup Of tea at break
fast, some dry toast, broiled fish or a
small outlet and baked apple or a
little fruit. At dinner, which should be
at midday, take whitefish or meat, dry
toast or stale bread, vegetables or
fruit, either fresh or stewed; for sup
per, toast, salad, fruit and six ounces
Of wine or water Hot water, with
lemon Juice in 1t, is also good for sup

| to his efforts that trouble with Great
Britain over Marchand's evacuation OF
Fashoda was averted. When the Deu-
puy cabinet was defeated Delcasse was
asked to form ministry, but declined
the task. In June, 1899, Delcasse became
foreign minister in the Waldeck-Rou
seau cabinet.
1899, to return the visit of Count Mura
vieff, the Russian minister of foreign
affairs, and Emperor Nicholas con-
ferred on him the order of Alexander
Newsky. The object Of his visit to the
Russian capital was to strengthen the
France-Russian alliance by placing
Russia's colonial policy on basis of
absolute solidarity with that of France.
In this he was reported to have failed.
He again visited St. Petersburg in
April, 1901, in order to look after the
interests of French investors in re-
gard to their investments in Russian
securities. In May, 1902, Delcasse paid
a third visit to St. Petersburg, this
time accompanying President Loubet,
the trip resulting, it is understood, in
further Strengthening: of the. alliance
between France and Russia. 70.
Delcasse resigned with the Waldeck-
Rousseau cabinet on June 3, 1902, but
accepted the portfolio OF foreign affairs
in the Combes cabinet.
Early in May, 1908, Delcasse took a
prominent part in entertaining King
Edward and later he accompanied
President Loubet to England.
The French foreign minister visited
Rome in April, 1904, in an effort to
settle the differences between France
and the vatican, but he did not succeed
Probably the greatest achievement of
Delcasse was the arrangement of the
Anglo-French colonial treaty, signed
in London on April s, 1904, which set
tied long and bitter differences regard
ing French rights in the waters Of New
foundland and in Egypt, and practical
ly assured Great Britain's support of
French policy in Morocco. a. 49,.

The Illinois Monthly Magazine, con.
Quoted by James Hall, and published

1880, has this to, say of the bell:
During the last month the town OF
Vandalia received valuable acquisi-
ton in. the donation of fine-toned bell
for the cupola of the Westinghouse.
The bell was presented to the Presby.
terrain congregation of Vandalia by
Romulus Riggs, merchant of Phtla-
delphia, in the name of his daughter,
Miss Illinois Riggs. This bell was
hung November S, 1880, and announced
it's own arrival in joyous tone. This
event is interesting, inasmuch as it is
the first public bensintroduced into the
state by American inhabitants. The
French had one or more bells in their
villages on the Mississippi, but the
public buildings erected by the Ameri'
can settlers have been entirely desti-
tute of this useful appendage."
For several years the bell has beer
used by the Fall Methodist church OF
this city, but recently has been taken
down and mounted on O. frame and
placed in a gallery Of the Presbyterian
church. ...

Paris.-Yielding to the personal So
licitations and representations of Pres
ident Loubet and the leaders of the gov,
eminent, that his retirement would be
q serious national peril at this time,
Delcasse advised Premier Rovier that ne
would reconsider and withdraw his res
ignation as foreign minister. This was
after strong assurances had been given
to Delcasse that the ministry was
united in sympathy with and support
of his foreign policy. Delcasse said that
he would retain the portfolio only IN
case the entire cabinest approved OF his
foreign policy, which he would carry
out according to his view. E&S
M. Delcasse's staying in the cabinet IS
expected to result in firmer attitude
toward Germany than heretofore shown
The foreign minister's policy has been
to give Germany adequate assurances
that her interests in Morocco would be
treated the same as those of the rest OF
the world, but after making these ap-
proaches he did not desire to yield
Frances entire project concerning Mo-
rocco at the dictation of Germany.
Theophile Delcasse was born In Pa
miers, France, in 1852. He began work
as journalist, treating questions of for
eign policy, on the Republique Fran
caise. He was elected in 1889 deputy
from the district of Folk as the oppo-
tunist candidate. Serving on the COM
mission of credits of the Soudan and
Tonquin, he became known as the leader
of the party advocating the need OF CO.

Delcasse was under secretary of state
for the colonies in 1898 and minister OF

year. He entered the Brisson cabinet as

by the native planters, because it is
one of the chief sources of wealth OF
the peninsula. 1t grows luxuriantly
under the most adverse circumstances.
and thrives in marvellous way when
given the assistance of modern cult
walton. 1t is plant that was wor.
SHIPPED as divine by the ignorant
natives there many generations ago,
because it was able to grow in soil
where no other vegetation would thrive
and often was found solidly established
and thriving on pile of stones or
gravel. To the ignorant mind of the
original native, the development of the
towering plant from a pile of stone was
proof positive of it's divine origin, and
even now there are many henequin
worshipers there.
The plant is a cousin to the aloe or
century plant. 1t grows large num-
Der Of thick, broad and heavy leaves
which are mass of stout fibers laid
parallel, like the fiber in a stalk OF
celery, only much closer, much longe
and stronger. The profit from the
plant Is made by extracting these
fbers, drying them and manufacturing
them into Irvine, this production
taking the place of manila hemp in
the manufacture Of everything in the
twlne class, from the ordinary Irvine
used on the American harvesters to
the stout hawser on board the harbo1
tugs and the ocean liners. No other
plant yet found produces such large
quantities Of the fiber.
The cultivation Of the plant is not q
new industry, the bales of the fibel
being imported to this country as fal
back as 1860. In that year the i'm
portation amounted to 1893 bales. The
demand for Irvine and cordage and
rope since that time has given great
stimulus to the importation and the
records of the revenue Office show that
for the year 1903 this country i'm
ported 569,212 bales.
