New York, April 14.--Much atten- tion has been aroused in politicai GIT cles over the Jefferson Day Dinner or the Democratic Club to be held MOI, that the old line Democrats will whack Hearst and incidentally say friendly words of William J. Bryan in connec- tion with the presidential nomination in 1908. This casting of sheepfs eyes at the Peerless Leader has been the chief event of local political phenom- ena of the past few days. MT. Bryan Ss loafinr along somewhere East of Suex" just at present. probably all uncou scious of how much fonder his absence has made the heart Of the me fropolitan Democrat grow. When MT. Bryan returns he may thank MT Hearst for giving him New York. Fear or Hearst, with his universal ownership panacea for all ills. has caused the focal Democrats to. seek an antidote in Bryan, for Hearst has been looming very large in the eyes or New 1ork since he so nearly beat Mcclellan Tor the mayoralty. Hearst has scented the Bryan boom and fears it. His papers no longer print the name of the Ne hraskan even in the smallest type. II ia recalled that when MT. Bryan came fo New York in the 1896 campaign, the stalwarts of the Democratic Cup look ed coldly upon him and he referred 10 the city as The enemys country. Rnt all is changed now. The prospects ara that. when he returns from his ori- ental trip a tugload of these same stal- warts will hasten. down the bay 10 nall him at Sandy Hook and It VIII pc roses all the way from the Battery 10 inc Democratic Club on upper Fiitn avenue.
 Since the discussion over the Hep- burn bill promised to go down to his forv as one of the most masterly de- hates ever held in the senate, -..e Sause of humiliation has been deepen- irr in the metropolis over the fact that the Empire State has no represen- tative in the upper house with tne ability to take even the smanes. par. of the debate on this most important ouestion. No other city of the coun- fry takes more interest, certainly none has more cause to be interested. than New York. in the enactment Of just and reasonable traffic laws, and this inter- est extends throughout the great ship ping and manufacturing centers of the State. But the interest does not extend to the two representatives of the state in the Senate. The decrepit Platt ap- narently thinks that his whole duty consists in keeping his chair In the Senate chamber from flying out of the window. and Depew has not condescend ed to sit in the Senate since the rate discussion began. Meanwhile the rep resentatives of state after state other than New York have risen in the Senate and added their best opinions to the re- rearkable debate. The speech of Sen- ator Morgan of Alabama. is the latest fo attract attention in the metropolis, particularly that portion in which ne pointed out that the Hepburn bill in its radical form would create "a great po- fx, hn n Irterstate Commerce Commission clothed with more responsible power than any other political body in the world" Senator Morgan also said; "The people are not demanding that the constitution be violated in order to enable commission 10 regulate rates"
 Andrew Carnegie's recent osculatory performances in Atlanta have aroused much amaze ddiscussion in the metro polis for the IronmAster has not hlth- erto shown any appetite to distinguish himself in that way and It was thought that he confined his benefactions to libraries. Mrs. J. H. Eichberg, the handsome Georgia matron whom MT Carnegie kissed, has declared the Car negie kiss far superior to the Hobson kiss Tt thrills. it leaves nothing to be desired,p declares the lady. Ac- cordingly, the Carnegie neighbors in the exclusive purlieus of upper Fifth avenue are scandalized, but at the same time proud, too. Carnegie Hill feels that it has produced a champion at last and is willing to back MT. Carnegie against all corners for the osculatory diamond belt or blue ribbon. But MT. Carnegie is not the only New York youngster who has been making hit with the ladies of late. Mark Twain. who has recently become the idol of college girl alumnae associations. Is pressing him hard in feminine favor No alumnae meeting Is complete in the city these days without Mark, and Inc veteran author has been elected permanent guest of several of the as- sociations Up to the present time, however, Mark Twain has not indulged in any kissing. but simply distributes Jokes among the adoring young ladies.
 Though the Rev. George Houghton, pastor of the Little Church Around the Corner, would modestly disclaim any suggestion of a miracle, 1t is a fact that the deaf are being made to hear In his church The telephone is the medium through which this is accomplished Hanging to hooks on the back Of the pews are small receivers. which can be concealed in the palm of the hand. and these are connected by hidden wires with a transmitter In the pulpit. Bv a telephone device called the aurophone the instruments carry every word, even the clergyman's lowest tones. When the telephones were first put In use last Sunday, a number of partly deaf persons in the congregation were able to hear the whole sermon for the first time in years. It is said that otheT city churches contemplate the adoption of a similar telephone system from pull pit to pews. By the new device the minister does not have to talk into the transmitter, but delivers his sermon in the usual way
