spond.
The most conspicuous examples Of
this new school are, perhaps. Roose-
velt La Toilette, Folk, Weaver and Je-
rome. It has been said that the last
shall be first, and that is scat least
IN this article. Jerome just now is
very much in the public eye because
Of the fact that the people Of New
York have smashed all sorts Of polit-
1caI machines to re-elect him district
attorney. It takes man to be elected
to Office without any kind Of partisan
support, especially in New York.
..Ths Man VIII the Ak"
Jerome is known around Gotham as
ls'the man with the ak" He gained
that title when q justice Of special ses-
sions Learning that the police were
protecting vice and crime, he went
with the officers to serve his own war
rants and more than once welded the
Ak to break down the doors Of gam
bling and other disreputable houses. It
was then that he made remark wor-
thy to live, II do not believe the Ten
i Commandments have been repealed"
It was his record as judge that gave
him the unanimous nomination Of the
anu-Tammany forces for district at
torney. That was four years ago. His
method of campaigning made him the
central figure Of the fight. Renting a
room downtown, he never went near
any Of the political headquarters. but
arranged his own schedules and went
his own gait His manner of hitting
every head he saw alarmed the politi-
clans. He.not only went after Croker,
the opposition boss, but lambasted
Piatt, who was supposed to be sup
porting Jerome's side. The fusion
managers begged him to moderate his
language, but he only made 1t stronger.
Almost every one thought ms ..--oolitic
course would defeat him. Bets were
freely offered at to / against him.
let he was elected. The people evi.
IDENTITY believed in man who would
take q crack at every boss in sight.
His new style of whElwind campaign
Ing was revelation and winner.
That election was for four years, while
the rest Of the ticket only went in for
two. When he took Office he rented
house on the east side, as he had prom
1sed to do. Here he established q
brunch Office. where the poorer citizens
who were not able to get OF during tho
day could come to him for justice at
night. At nrst,few appeared.

before he took office most of his time
was spent. Despite his ripping way OF

In office Jerome Is said to be efficient

lives up to his theories. He has few,

BRIBERY AND GRAFf
\ Refreshing Pickup Of Aihere Bigclov
Paine's Biography II Tholnas
Mast, the Great Ca1tOoni&

In these days of bribery ana gran
is refreshing 70 pick up Albert Bigelov
Paine's biography of Thomas Nast tl1'
great cartoonist whose genius playea Sc
important a parA in 1ousing public senti
ment against the Tweed ring Perhaps
the following is one of the most re-
markable anecdotes in this interesting
book
\ lawyer friend one day intirnated te
Mast that, in appreciation Of his grea
work, party Of rich men wished to seno
him abroad and give him chance tc
study art under the worlds masters
The friend was probably innocent
enougl1-an unconscious tool of the ring
Mast said very little except that he ap-
preciated the offer, and would be de-
lighted to go but for the fact that he
had important business just then in New
York. He fancied that he detected the
far, faint odor of a mouse under the
idea, but he did not mention this to his
friend. On the following Sunday an Of
hcer of the Broadway Bank, where the
ring kept its accounts, came out to Nor
ristown to see Mast. He talked of a
number of things. Then he said: L
hear you have been made an offer to go
abroad for art study.
Yes" nodded Mast, but I cant 60.
| haven't the time
But they Will pay you for your time.
| have every reason to believe you could
get one hundred thousand dollars for
the trip
Mast pondered moment, then said !:
DO you think | could get two hundred
thousand dollars?'
Il do. | believe from what heard in
the bank that you could get it. You have
great talent; but you need study and
you need rest. Besides, this ring busi-
ness will get you into trouble. They own
all the judges and jurors, and can get
you locked up for libel My advice is
to take the money and get away
Mast looked out into the street, and
perhaps wondered what two hundred
thousand dollars would do for him 1t
would pay the mortgage on the house
in the city. 1t would give him years of
study abroad 1t would make him COM
Portable for life Presently he said:
Don't you think | could get five hun
dred thousand dollars to make that
trip?'
The bank official scarcely hesitated.
You can. You can get five hundred
thousand dollars in gold to drop this
ring business and get out of the coun-
ry'
Mast laughed little. He had played
he game far enough
We'll, l don't think III do it, he |
said Il made up my mind not long
ago to put some of those fellows behind |
he bars, and I'm going to put them
hereI'
The banker rose rather quietly Only

1t was not until two years later that
lie met Mast one day on Broadway. !

FEDERAL MEMORIAL DAY.


a served Memorial Day, throughout the
domain Of the United States. 1t is con-
secrated to the memory of the Federal
soldiers who died during and since the
war. No form of ceremony is pre-
scribed. but in the Northern States it al
fords opportunity to the Grand Army
posts to testify behttingly their regard
for their comrades whose graves are
strewed with flowers
In these ccremonia1s the people join
with much of holiday enthusiasm. In
the South where thousands of Federal
soldiers are buried. the graves are not
neglected and receive the testimonials of
respect due the braves who are beyond
recall
To Miss Lizzie Rutherford, of Column
bus. Ca, is credited the suggestion of
Memorial Day, which in 1868 was OBJ
served on April 26, but this date was
too early for flowers in the North,
when May 30 was fixed as the date for
this observance.
1t is said Miss Rutherford's Memorial
Day was suggested from a story called
'1nitials,' in which is detailed the Gus
tom which prevails among the Germans
of decorating the graves of loved ones
on special day.
1t may also be said that in Latin
countries it is the custom to decorate
the graves on All Saints Day. In fact,
this day is observed as Memorial Day
in every Catholic church throughout the
world.
This is beautiful custom which ap-
peals to the highest senses of men. 1t
draws to the Infinite and brings the liv-
ing closer to the invisible dead.
Confederate Memorial Day, as fixed
by a resolution of the United Confed-
crate Veterans in annual convention as
sembled, is June 3, which is the
anniversary of the birth of Jefer-
son Davis, President of the Confederate
States.
On that day memorials are held in
churches or in public buildings and in
cemeteries where the graves of the de-
tenders of the South are festooned with
flowers and evergreens.
OF late years it has been the custom
to remember the soldiers from the
North as WE'LL and in the Northern
States this sentiment is duly reciprocal
ed by the Blue depositing the wreaths
of evergreen on the graves of the Gray
Memorial Day interpreted patriotical-
ly has significance beyond the stirring
scenes of the fields of carnage. AT least
the living, who were the active actors in
the bloody struggle, can rejoice that the
strife is over; they may with hearts
filled with sincerity, "shake hands across
the bloody cfasnl,' and be friends in
peace if they were enemies in war, and
therefore the Gray and the Blue, the
gle together and be friends now and
forever
1t is in the silent City of the Dead
that the most tender memories are
aroused and the ,noblest impulses rule
over the minds of men, In time the
Blue and the Gray shall be a memory
only, and on the living will devolve the
sacred duty of observing these cere-
nonials of Memorial Day, on May 30
and on June 3.
