We detain you to relate an incident OF
peculiar interest: Some months ago the
Rev. James p. Smith (who was aide to
Stohewall Jnclsson) was lecturlng In the
North on Gettysburg. After the lecture
a gentleman OF the audience came Tor
ward and presented an old bust OF Gem
eral stoncwnll Jackson to Dr. Smith. The
gentleman stated that the bust had been
given him by General Hallech, Of the
Federal army, whose headquarters after
the surrender Of Richmond was In the
White House Of the, Confedeacy, called
the Davis Mansion. The bust was brought
by Dr. Smith to the museum and placed
in its former position on the mantel
in tho office of President jefferson Davis.
1t has been proven that this bust was
made by Volck, who made atdenth mask

Mr.. Williams is looking for a house

brilliant southerner is one of the most
absent-minded men, and needs the at

that last winter his wife came from

of weeks. and stopped with him at the
Metropolitan. One morning he left her
sitting in the room, closed the door
and, as he had been in the habit of do
ing when occupying the room by him.

Mrs. Williams delights to tell how
her husband in their early married
days had her prepare an elaborate lin
ner for party of his lawyer friends,
and then came home in the evening
without having invited one of them. He
had to scurry around at the eleventh
hour in order to get sufficient COM
pany to do justice to the splendid neal
that had been prepared.

matter who killed it, the fact remains.
The republicans and the Citizens
Unionists handy angry words about it.,
but it is dead. On the surface the out
look is that Tammany should win by a
huge majority. Her legions are conf
dent. They are already in fancy
portioning the Offices for four years
and the spending of 100000, 900 in
taxes and bonds.
OF course they are safe enough so
far as the republicans are concerned.
Even Mr.. Roosevelt's great vote in the
city last year came far short of Judge
Parker's. Ordinarily speaking, a re-
publican candidate for the mayoralty
calls out a feeble vote. Tracy, repub-
lican, ran far behind Low, citizens
union, in 1897; getting in fact, though
per cent of the vote. Mr.. Roosevelt
himself longer ago ran third to Abram
S. Hewitt and Henry George.
The uncertainty lies in the new par
ties. What effect the municipal league
may have upon public opinion, how
much effect Hearst's teachings through
his widely circulated newspapers may
have had-who knows? One thing we
do know. The socialists, in spite of
the division in their ranks, have made
rapid progress. They polled something
like $4,000 votes for governor last year
and their orators were already busy
on every street corner month ago,
talking to men whom the amazing rev.
Citations of insurance corruption and it's
alliance with political corruption have
made ready to listen to strong doc
trine. 1t is reasonably safe to predict
for them considerable increase in
voting strength this year; and that
strength is greatest in heavily Tam

which was otherwise notable as illus
trating the baronial state in which
wealthy American families do things
now.
Winthrop is bright young Harvard
man, friend of Jimmy Hyde. If old
er men had not built up the insurance
system for his undoing, he might have
been an ordinarily successful man Of
business, with no Equitable since to
suffer for. In fact, the system which
he was prominent in administering,
was made long before his time. AS
the manager of the Equitable's finance
committee he was Hyde's righthand
man in vast financial transactions of
semi-shady character before he was far
out of his teens, and no doubt intoxi-
Gated with his financial Importance.
Very different is his case from that
of George Perkins, who rose from the
bottom of the insurance ladder. There
was the less excuse for Rogers in that
he was wealthy to begin with; more
excuse in that he less appreciated what
he was doing. 1t is still a mOoted
question how far restitution of ill-got-
ten profits can be enforced from the
directors and associates who robbed
the Equitable and other big companies.
Probably not far enough to seriously
worry the new bride, who is vastly rich
in her own right.
The honeymoon of the happy pair
is spent in Stow house, a great baron
ial mansion near that of the Mackays
in Roslyn. A touch Of comedy is lent
to the proceedings by the request of
brides family that the thousands of
dollars worth of presents designed for
the young couple be not sent to Stow
house. 1t is two miles from the station
and thieves might easily carry off
few thousand dollars worth of plate
and jewels.

SO much has been said about Jerome
that even during his life fiction builds
legends about him. To the hero-wor-
shipper he is youthful, slender figure,
leading the fray when a gambling
house is raided, strong, swift, agile, a
Roland out of romance. To his enc
mics he is a dope tiend,'' smoking Gig
arettes, dreaming dreams, constantly
promising what he never performs.
playing to the galleries.
The real man Jerome is not in the
least like either picture. He is no
more youthful in appearance than May
or Mcclellan; time and care have
craven lines on both faces. So far
from being Eighty and ftful, he has re-
formed the district attorneys office un-
til it moves like clockwork and swiftly
grinds through its great mill the pitiful
grist of city's crime, where of old
delay and favoritism and neglect held
sway. AS for his personal habits, he
smokes as much as some other men,
takes drink when he feels like it and
is on friendly terms with many Tam
many district leaders, whom he likes
and who like him.
Jerome will have more fun than any,
one else in the campaign He is the
only public speaker in New York who
says just what comes into his head,
no matter whom it hits. 1t was so
when in 1901 he spoke out in meeting
concerning Mr.. Platt, who was sup
porting his ticket; his confreres were
aghast at the "indiscretion; but the
people elected the ticket.

anyone has ever really suffered from
disease contracted in handling old
bills. They cite the experience of the
money counters in the treasury Down
in the basement of this building there
are many women who have been count

years and they handle the very worst
bills in circulation. Currency that is
not considered fit to remain in use is
put up in bundles and sent to Wash

must be counted by the. women and it
is declared that not single case is on
record Of disease contagion growing
out of handling this money.
The national banks are complaining
about the expense they are put to for
the printing Of new notes in response
to this clean money craze. Within the
past four years the volume of redemp-
tons have doubled. In 1900 there was
redeemed daily about 100000, but
now the redemptions run over $780,.
600 each day. 1t will be necessary to

times been the victim of writer's who
cared more for sensation and space
than they did for absolute accuracy
He was very cold and distant for some
months after he became head of the
war department, but gradually he be-

that newspaper men at the national
capital play in national affairs. and ne
was not slow in acknowledging their

When Mr.. Root came to WASHINGTON

he introduced the latter to a group of
