THE CROKER FAMILY.
GossIr ABOUT THE FORMER
# No. TAMhANY CHIEF.
Prominent a. q Leader for Almost
Twenty Ysars-His Nephew, Now
Fire Chief Through Uncle's Aid,
Has Made Good Record

New York.-Richard Croker now
has only two sons left, the oldest,
Richard Croker, Jr., and the young

some months ago, almost endorsed
the former boss; <Herberts has affect

Frank was far and away his favorite.
Since the death of Herbert old-time
Z Tammanyites, and many outside the
organization, have been talking about
his earlier days.
Richard Cookers real prominence in
Tammany began almost or quite 20
years ago, when he was made fire
commissioner under John Kelly's
leadership. Croker did not get to be
boss for some time after Kelly's
death, and it was still longer before
the Croker ascendancy was complete.
It was helped amazingly for many
years by his profound and never re-
laxing taciturnity. Later, under stress
of political adversely, he broke silence,
not only as witness before an investi-
eating committee, when he said he
the time" but also when he under
took to discuss national politics. His
utterances on the currency question
and on the tariff were well-nigh gro
tesque, and his reputation for shrewd-
ness suffered enormously thereby.
Undoubtedly his failure to grasp ma
tional issues hurt him great deal
more than his confession about his
own pocket. .-.
The truth is that Croker, like Tim"
Sullivan, never did see much farther
than the confines of Manhattan Island,
and, when he tried to grapple with
things affecting the whole country, he
found them altogether too big for him.
None of Cookers sons has ever been
directly connected with the city gov
eminent, but Edward F. Croker, who
has been fire chief for five or six
years, save for an interim. during
which he had a political lay-off, is his
nephew. There was lot of opposi-
ton to him both in and out of the de-

ORGANIC Life on tie Moon.

Whether or not there really is vege-
tation on the moons surface is a mat
ter of some dispute. Prot. Pickering
believes that there is, basing his be-
lief upon observations Of what he has
called variable spots" - portions
which exhibit rapid darkening, be-
ginning shortly after sunrise, fol-
lowed by an equally rapid fading
toward sunset, accompanied by q rdi-
mfnution in size as they darken.
From the peculiar character Of the
variation observed, Prof. Pickering
concludes that organic life resembling
vegetation is the only simple sxplana-
t;on of the changes which he has OBJ
served. Considering the long lunar
day as a miniature terrestrial year,
the theory of such life becomes color
able. The vegetation, If there be any.

Fronting the quadrangle large COW

folk play 700 of the townsfolk will take
part. They began drilling and rehears-
ing for the event months ago. The his
torical accuracy OF the costumes pro-
vided for them is vouched for by the
best authorities.
Sherborne's chief claim to historic re-
nown lies in the fact that it was for a
time the capital of the newer Wessex
and the center of the one district which
successfully withstood the Dane while
Alfred gathered his forlorn hope in the
marshes of Athelney for the fight which
made England and all that has since
come out of it possible. Three Of the
eleven Episodes" into which the play
is divided are devoted to this period of
it's history. The first of these depicts the
founding of the town by st. Ealdhelm
in 705, when the inhabitants of the
west had most of them relapsed into
heathendom. The next episode intro
duces the most famous of Sherborne's
bishops, Ealhstan, known as the fight
ing bishop, and King Ethelwulf's best
general. 7-se'
The third scene presents the most
famous figure associated with Sher-
borne's history-Alfred the Great. His
tory does not record just where Alfred
got his schooling. But as Sherborne
WIS the capital of Wessex from $50 to
878 it is likely that he did receive his
early training in letters there. At all
events no other West Country town can
advance better claim to that distinc-
ton. AS Sherborne was the center of
the resistance that checked the en-
croachments Of the Danes it is certain
that Alfred must have been quartered
there. Brasses in the Abbey church
mark the graves of two Of his brothers
who preceded him on the throne-Ethel-
bald and Ethelbert. = a.>. -.
The last of the episodes introduces
one of the most historic and tragic fig
ures of English history, Sir Walter Ra-
leigh, whose association with sher-
borne is accounted not the least of its
claims to distinction. It depicts his
home coming with his wife to the castle
which had been granted him by Queen
Elizabeth. Sir Walter makes some
pretty and gallant speeches to his wife,
which: puts her in such good humor
that she fills his pipe for him and leaves
him to the enjoyment of the ''Virginian
weed" which he is supposed to have
first introduced into England. Then
occurs that humorous incident with
which every smoker is familiar. A
servant comes in and imagining his
master is on fire souses him with q jug
of ale. ~.
