THE REAL HEART OF THINGS

York faced for weeks a coal famine
that paralyzed her activities and al
most killed her poor. Manufacturers
could not secure enough fuel to run
their plants and women on the least
side"paid ten cents for as much coal
as would fill a quart pail. The suf-
fering in this city was out of all pro-
portion to that of the rest of the coun-
try.
All food products come from the
outside. New York uses three million
eggs every day, and beef arrives in
whole train loads daily. The city must
60 to the country for its building ma
terials, for wool, cotton. everything
that is needed to run its factories,
stores and banks.
Dependent on the Country.
The reckless expenditures of the
city dweller are continually giving rise
to the question, "Where does the mon
ey come fromT From the country,
of course. Every wildcat scheme
that is Matched in New York, from
Wall Street to Madison Square, in
a%ugurates its proceedings by send
Ing circulars luCO lie Guilty, w
catch the dollars Of the farmer.
The operations of the stock ex-
change are all based on the condi-
ton of the country. A short wheat
crop, a slump in the production of
grain, or the prospect of one, turns the
floor Of the Exchange into a pande-
monium. Year by year the eyes Of the
moneyed interests are turned to the
earth, fguratively speaking, and the
keenest minds of the metropolis are
specializing as to what success the
farmer is going to have with his crops.
The results Of that speculation involve
millions of dollars. All the country
knows what happens in New York
when the cotton crop fails. The beef
strike last year caused meat to van
ish from a million family dining
tables in New York city. In summer
eggs at 35c a dozen are too expensive
as an article of diet for more than half
the city's population.
Material and money she gets from
the outside; and rarely, indeed, does

MARY, MOTHER OF WASHINGTON
Handsome Monument Erected BY
Patriotic Citizens.

The monument of Mary Washing
ton, the mother of George Washing
ton, stands on the western side OF
Fredericksburg, Virginia, almost und-
er the shadow of Marye's Heights,
Of bloody Civil War memory. Mary
Washington died of cancer, August %,
1889. 1t was in April that year, that
Washington rode from Mount Vernon,
to say farewell-a final farewell
to his mother before starting for New
York to be inaugurated first Presi-
dent of the United States. In a let
ter to his sister Betty Washington,
who lived in Fredericksburg, Wash
ington wrote. after learning of his
mothers death, "When l was last in
Fredericksburg l took my final leave
Of my mother, never expecting to see
her more"
Neglected Tomb.
For a hundred years the grave of
this good woman lay unprotected, on
what had been part Of the farm Of her
daughter Betty Washington, but
| which became a common of the city
Of Fredericksburg. For half a CEN
fury the grave was marked by a little
stone slab, but this d~isintegrated,
and disappeared. Various fruitless
efforts We're made to build a monu-
ment, and in 1880 a New York bank
er, Silas Il. Burroughs, offered to give
an elaborate monument. The corner
stone was laid with imposing cere-
monies by President Andrew Jackson,
but Burroughs met with financial re-

Fortunes in Church SteeDleS.

It is the opinion of Rev. DR.. Forbes,
Secretary of the Board of Extension
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
that enough money has been expended,
or it may be said wasted, in building
steeples, to pay off all the church debts
of the country. Besides, he says,
steeples are a relic of barbarism, and
money used in their construction can
be more usefully expended. A good
many people will hardly agree with
the reverend doctor in his opinion that
church steeples are useless or serve no
good end. Grace and beauty are lent
to thousands of otherwise common
place looking towns and cities by the
spires rising here and there from their
midst. Everything cannot be strictly
utilitarian, and If a thing serves to
please the eyes and senses Of hundreds
or thousands Of people, it Is far from
being useless.

Loosing the Dogs of War.

But it is now war to the knife be-
tween the two forces, trust and anti
trust, thrust and ANTITRUST. Wheth-
er the trust will be successful and
absorb the independents, remains ia

Prehistoric Sculpture.

An idea Of the small brain capacity
Of primitive man can be gathered
from a crude stone head, now on ex-
hibition, which was recently found
in a field at Moriches, Long Island.
The head, while crude in its work
manship, is pronounced by ethnolo-
gists as doubtless true to nature
a representation Of some savage and
prehistoric people who lived ages ago.
The head is not a particularly pleas
ing bit Of sculpture, Is it calls up a
vision Of men and women with small
brain development and huge repulsive
jaws but a degree above the other
animals.

Of this plan opened a larger vista of
profit. and the securing Of all the thea
tres in the country has led to the de-
struction of competition with the two
formidable exceptions noted. In the
other theatres the manager has be-
come the 'janitor," while the syndicate
dictates prices, attractions, and other
features.

A Famous Theatre Site.

Lafayette Theatre is a comparative
ly modern playhouse, and occupies the
site on which formerly stood the Sew
ard mansion, in which Secretary Sew
ard Of Lincoln's cabinet lived when
an attempt vas made to assassinate
him the same night President Lin
coin was shot. In later years the
house was occupied by Secretary
Blaine.
Last year David Belasco found all
theatres in the national capital with
closely barred doors. He was arrang-
ing to make the initial production Of
"Adrea," Mrs. Leslie Carriers latest
success, and found no building in
Washington suitable for a conversion
into a theatre. except Convention Hall,
probably the largest auditorium south
Of New York, and in years. previous

cycle races, athletic meetings, and
other institutions requiring great
space. This had-a hall some $50 feet
in length by 125 feet in width, with a
roof carried on huge semi-circular ar
ches rising to a height Of nearly fifty
feet above the floor. Such a barn as

Cities Not Self Dependent.

Not only is she dependent upon the
open spaces for men, material and
money, but even for trade. As COM
pared to the amount of money spent
in this city by out of town buyers, the
sum expended by its own inhabitants
dwindles into insignticance. In recog-
milton of this, the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York annually arranges
with railroads for cheap transporta-
ton, and with hotels for rock bottom
rates, and runs excursions to gather
in the out-of-town buyers.
During the month of August over
400 buyers from the south and west
were in New York, and during Septem-
Der this number largely increased.
Reckoning under the average of past
years each merchant spent more than
$4,000, and thus through the efforts
Of the Merchants Association alone
more than $500, 1000 900 is left in the
city each year. But this is merely a
fraction Of the trade which the city
receives from the rest of. the country
A conservative estimate places the
gross income at $780, 600, 900.

A NEW FEDERAL CODE.

The commission to revise the laws which has
been working for several years under author
tty from Congress has practically completed its
task and will submit to the two houses next
winter a much needed compilation to replace
our present Revised Statutes. The new codif-
cation will fill long felt want, for since the
revision Of 1873-slightly amended in 1877
there has been no effort made to graft the
newer mass Of federal legislation on the old.
The Revised Statutes have been modified in d
thousand particulars. But the lawyer or stu
dent has had to trace for himself the effects
Of the newer enactments and decide on his
own responsibility how far the older text was
altered or superseded.
The codifcation now nearing completion will
digest the laws passed between 1877 and 1905
and harmonic their provisions and the pro-
visions of prior statutes. Congress will be asked
to give the new corpus the validity of law. and
the searcher will then have access to a sum-
mary of federal law which may be regarded
as authoritative and final. Many contradictions
i'll terms, due to eleventh hour conference legis-
lation, will be reconced, and difficulties of con-
struction now constantly arising will be OBJ
waited. The work done by the commission is
monumental in scope and will be Of lasting
benefit. The appearance Of the Revised Stat
utes Revised" will be eagerly awaited by the
bar and the public.

SOME "HOyEST DEMOCRATS"

What is this that we hear from the inside of
Tammany? Six thousand persons illegally en-
rolled as qualified voters for the Democratic
prmariesl That is the charge made before
Justice Bowling. who has taken the cases OF
these alleged fraudulent voters under cOnsd-
GRAFTON. The charge is not made by wicked
Republicans seeking TO cut down the Tammany
vote. 1t IS made by Tammany men themselves
against their own fellows. When there is a
falling out in the organization and rivalry
for leadership. then the facts about Tammany
voters begin TO appear Fraudulent registration
is all right when votes are needed to beat Re-
pubIicans. but the idea of having those fraudu-
lent voters counted in favor Of rival in the
party is intoleI2ble
Tammany contests are raging this year in
only a few districts. If in this small territory
there are six thousand Democrats fraudulently
enrolled, what must be the vote in the whole
city? 1t is the fashion of Tammany about cleo
ton time TO denounce Superintendent Morgan
and the Election Bureau and the Republican
party and picture them as trying TO stfe the
