HE GOVERNORSHlP FIRST
BY SEWELL HAGGARD.

New York August 5.-Leader Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall has been lay Ing plans for months to secure the demo- cratic nomination for President four years hence for Mayor George B. Me Clellan. The first step is to have him re- elected mayor. A bill was passed at the last session of the legislature making the mayors term four years instead of two but Mir. Murphy does not intend for MT. Mcclellan to fill out this tenn He be- Heves that in 1906 the democrats of the state will come to this city for candi- date for governor and that MT. Mcclellan will be the logical candidate If he should whip Odell and his strong republican ma chaine he would undoubtedly be about the strongest man the democrats could nomi- nate for President
 So sure is MT. Murphy of success that he is already making prepara tions to fill the mayors chair when MT. Mcclellan resigns to run for governor. The vacancy would be filled by the president of the board of aldermen and the Tammany leader Is seeking candidate of mayor alty size for that office
 MT. McClellans reelection as mayor will be easy unless the citizens union the reform ganization-nominates man like District Attorney William Ira vers Jerome to oppose him. This does not seem to be unlikely since a few days ago MT. Jerome came out with vicious attack on Mir Murphy and followed it the next day with an attack milder but no less to the point on the mayor and his appointees. The district attorney in as- sailing him for dictating to the justices of the special sessions bench the appoint- ment of politician and an ex-alderman as court clerk referred to MT. Murphy as an ex-bartender. Both charges are true. The next day MT. Jerome asserted that Mayor Mcclellan had not made his ap- pointments for competence but for po- litical reasons.
 Political pull" undoubtedly has count ed but with one or two exceptions the men appointed possessed excellent quail fications for the offices they were to fill. But if 1t does nothing more MT. Jerome's attack shows which side the fence he is on. For some months reports had been consistently repeated that the district att torney was flirting with Tammany for a

THE WAR CORRESPONDENT
lie Must Have Soldiers Courage and
 Diplomats Tact.

From Melville E. Stones s.The Assoo;o+.,z
 Press in Century.
 In reporting war. the first and most Important question naturally arises over the selection of corresnon- dents The number of men oualified by nature and education for such q task is very limited. Your war cor respondent must be physically capable oI Withstanding the hardships of the heid. He must be also as courageous as any soldier. Indeed his lot is an even harder one, because he must put himself in places of the greatest danger without the patriotic feryor the touch of the comrades elbow. or the possession of a rife, all of which are large factors in making up a troop CTS bravery. He must be capable of describing what he sees accurately and graphically. He must have as large a perspective as the commanding. gen. eral, if he seeks to tell the whole story of the battle.
 But he may have all of these primal requisites and still prove a failure. He must be temperamentally a diplomat and capable of ingratiating himself into the sympathetic and helpful friendship Of those with whom he comes in con tact He may be an ideal representa- tive at the headquarters of an Amer 1can general, but wholly incapable of serving satisfactorily with the Russians or the Japanese. As an Illustration, all of our men on the Russian side speak either Russian or French. If they did not, they would be useless. At least three of them are longtime personal friends of General Kuropat- kin.
 Above all the war correspondent must possess in marked degree that familiarity with events and affairs which will command the confidence of those in power about him. His inf1u- ence often extends beyond his primary mission of reporting, and strays into the field of international diplomacy. For instance during the Boxer rebellion in China. one of the Associated Press correspondents was sought out and consulted by the commander of one power represented in the allied expe- dition as to his proper attitude toward the military representative of another power whose actions were causing grave concern in that delicate hour

BUFFALO BILLS TOMB.
Magnificent Mausoleum to Be Built
 on Lonely Mountain.

Cody (Wyo) Cor. Denver Post
 Out on the Wonderland trail, ill one of its loneliest spots, Buffalo Bill has built for himself a splendid tomb, in which he will be buried. It is on the apex of Rattlesnake mountain and is almost in- accessible except to the experienced moun- tain climber. Cody has made provision in his will for the expense necessary to remove his body to the mountain, no matter in what country of the globe he shall die.
 Cody has lived long enough to see an- other of his dreams realized-the open ing of his long-talked-of Cody Trail Through Wonderland the trail being a new route to the Yellowstone National park, a trail" passing through what the famous scout and Indian fighter says is the finest 100 miles of scenery in the world
 It has been the dream of the last forty years of Colonel Cody's life to establish road running into the Yellowstone Ma tional park from the east and passing through the famous Yellowstone forest reservation where Cody, as well as oth- CTS who have passed over the route say can be found sights and scenes superior to even the national park, which ad)olns the reserve on the west and to which the Cody Trail Through Wonderland leads

Fortune Left swiftly As It Came.

Fortune came suddenly and mysterious ly to Miss Rose Burgess of this city. It left as quickly but there wasn't so much mystery about its leavetaking. Miss Bur gess is the belle of boarding house. One day there came new boarder and of course he was attentive to Miss Bur gess. All new boarders were. Soon he took up all her spare time and she seem ed to have plenty to spare. It was the theater or or the beach every night and rivers of champagne. After a week of strenuous courtship he proposed and was accepted. Ills offer to deed $65,000 worth of property to his fiancee was entirely voluntary. It was made near midnight when the generous impulse struck him. an unseemly hour for the transaction of business that might require the assistance of a lawyer and at least a notary. But he declared he couldn't wait. The business must be got rid of, so a messenger was sent for an al-night notary-one of New York's conveniences-and the deeds were drawn up giving the boarding house belle several beautiful country houses. Miss Burgess couldn't keep her secret and for the next three days her friends helped her rejoice. Her flance saw to it that the celebration was unhampered by drought. On the fourth day in walked two sturdy looking persons conveyed by man with side whskers and other marks of learn ing.
 Yes, it is he," said sidewhiskers.
 "The sturdy looking persons unimber- ed and for the next three minutes the room fairly quivered from the excess of animation. When there was a breathing spell 1t was seen that the belle's fance did not look so well in handcuffs, but he was not as perturbed as the occasion seemed to demand He bowed and smiled as the sturdy looking persons led him out
 Sorry to have disturbed you" said sidewhiskers to the boarders who had gathered around at the first sign of trou- ble as Is customary in all well-regulated boarding houses. Hes just an escaped lunatic. He's been out about two weeks and we've just found him. He looks as though he had had a nice vacation"
 An investigation showed that the deeds signed by the gay Lothario of the insane asylum described property which is own ed by the Roosevelts.

What eurslaries Cost New York.

writer in one of the magazines has made an estimate on what New Workers lose every year by bnrglaries. He figures It out that the robberies cost more than fires. As proof he refers to the fact that the premium rate for fire insurance aver ages only a fifth of the rate for burglary insurance. There are about 5000 fires every year in New York. with an average loss of some $10,0o0,000 The number of fires Is increasing in smaller proportion than the increase of the population, and the average loss by fire is diminishing through the increased efficiency of the fire department
 The same year that there were S424 fires in New York there were 1764 arrests for burglarly. This does not include ar rests for grand or petit larceny, but only Tor the forcible entry and taking which constitute burglary. It is said to be the experience of the burglary insurance coal- panies that only one burglary in twenty Is Followed by the arrest of the criminal and that the average loss is S450 On the basis of these statistics there would be between 30.000 and 10000 burglaries every year in New York and the value to the owners of the property taken would be al. most S20, 000 900.
 If this proportion prevailed throughout the United States there would be a mill non purglaries year. The profits to tle burglars cannot be computed as anvthiry like the equivalent of the value of Ina stolen articles to their owner CIo.hinw Jewelry. silver plate and other val,r,l.lo portable articles, which are those n.st commonly taken, are worth much more 10 the owners than to any secondhand aealer Jewelry settings would iava to De aestroyed, and the plate melted is w9r.h worth no more than it's bullion value.

J.P. Moroan as a "Dude."

J. P. Morgan is home with lot of val uabe experier e on how to act in the presence of royalty, some new pictures for his costly art collection and 127 ad- ditons to his wardrobe. He may have some new wrinkles in trusts, but if he has. they haven't become public yet. More has been said about his 127 new suits of clothes than anything else. When E. Berry Wall was the king of dudes in New York he never made more exten- sive purchases of clothing in London than MT. Morgan made on this trip. Be- sides his suits MT. Morgan bought over coats of different weights and many other garments. His bill with the tailors was not less than $10O00. Here are some inter esting facts concerning the new Morgan wardrobe:
 The material in 127 suits would make good sized tent.
 The average London cost of each was $60. If he had bought them in New York the average cost per suit would have been about $100. Amount saved $5,0S0
 In their construction were employed six cutters, 150 tailors, one presser, fifty helpers, five shop boys.
