TAMMANY rs ALARMED
DISTURBED OVER GROWTH OF
HEARsTss MOVEMENTS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 31.-This Is Tam
manys worst day Of scare. From talks
with active men In the organization the Inn
preston Is undeniably gained today that
the Tiger is suffering from an aggravated
case OF Hearstitis. Tammany cried wolf
early in the game to alarm the faithful and
shake down" Wall street. Today Tam
many finds that the cry was not false
alarm and that the wolf Is at large In the
fold. the newspaper polls of voters all show
ing preponderance Of Hearst sentiment
and confirm the secret polls Of Tammany.
Outside of the polls one hears constant

he said. Il took q poll yesterday OF one
group of workmen. Out OF 120 men 116
were for Hearst. Out OF another group
OF forty all but four were for Hearst
Tammany still puts Its faith in the organi-
zation and the power Of the machine. Every
device known to the game of politics that
Tammany has played for years Is being
employed, and the elder statesmen OF the
party have their heads together at all times.
The impression should not be gained that
Tammany is hopeless, for it knows the
power of the machine when fully excited.

DOING BUSINESS IN LONDON.
The Dinner Table Often the Scene and
Champagne the Medium.
From Everybody s


From Everybody's.
the dinner table If it is to be tacit busi-
ness women are asked and the AFFAIR has
apparently the brilliant responsibility Of
any other social event: for open discussion
only men are assembled. Champagne is In
evitably the ether through which all BUSH
ness projects flow. The role OF MI:
Spragues nav partner was largely that OF
hostess. Every one who could be of serv-
ice, direct or indirect, to the multiple unit
control was given his chance and his din
ner, and Miss Rawls presided with calm
grace that never deserted her, even when,
as often happened, she had to take the
table lone woman with ten or a dozen
men. Asking brilliant companies to meet
an inventor Is not always a simple matter;
genius Is as likely as not to arrive an
hour or so late, with mind above apology
and the traces Of the beloved machinery
clearly visible; but natural ease and firm
belief in "the control pulled the young
hostess through and had their steadily in
creasing influence in Sprague's favor.
To these dinners and lunches came en-
gineers, NJ. P.'s, peers of the realm, heads
of traction companies, writers for the press.
Miss Rawls talked electricity and multiple
unit control until she was popularity sup
posed to be leading authority and some
thing of an inventor herself. OF course,
her great advantage lay in the fact that the
system she was pushing was, as has since
been proved, the best thing of its kind yet
invented. The facts were all on her SIDE;
her task was to get these facts a proper
hearing. For this. her clear business head.
her strong grasp Of the salient points. were
the best weapons. Moreover. as hostess
and guest she had the gift of rousing friend
Illness. and direct, almost selfish interest
both of which inclined men to listen. 1t
was. after all. fairly simple.

MIGHT SAVE THOUSANDS.
Commissioner Allen Testifes Regard
ing Patent Office Gazette.

Patent Commissioner Allen appeared be-
fore the Lands congressional commission
on printing at the Capitol this morning and
was questioned at length in regard to the
expense of printing the Patent Office Ga
zette and methods of reducing expense.
He was opposed to leaving out drawings
and illustrations in the text as they en-
abled the readers to better understand the
devices patented. He believed that $780,
600 year could be saved.
The chief witnesses today were the COM
missioner of patents ]. W. Babson. who
Is in charge of the Gazette, and c. M. Ire
Ian, chief clerk of the patent Office. The
Gazette is issued weekly. bi-monthly and
annually, which leads TO an enormous
amount Of Implications. Mr.. Allen thought
that the expense might be materially
reduced by emitting altogether the BIZ
monthly issue.
Mr., Babson said that the copy furnished
wasiexceedingly bad. and that 1t must take
large part OF the compositors time to
decipher 1t.

SACRED ARROWS.
Cheyennes Have Endeavored for Years
to Recover Them.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The Dog Soldier band Of Cheyenne In
dams from western Oklahoma has just COM
pleted a visit with the Skedee band OF the
Pawnees, near Pawnee. The Cheyennes
to the number OF three hundred came to
recover two sacred arrows captured by the
Pawnees many years ago. and this VISIT was
the first time the two bands had met IN
council since the time when both were On
the warpath. The Pawnees entertained the
Cheyennes at a war dance and gave them
many presents. including ponies, blankets.
calico and provisions, but would not relin-
ouish the sacred arrows. The Cheyennes
performed what they called the lightning
dance.
The two sacred arrows were captured
from the Cheyennes in battle on the Platte
river. Nebraska, about sixty years ago.

and who preferred death to the SUFFERING
