offender for gambling or for any other

will. This is where Mr.. Mackey and myself
differ as to our official duties, and expect
to limit myself in the future as I have in
the past to advising the sheriff when occa-
sions require (anda1 win judge the occa-
sfons), as to the law In such cases, al
though I am not to be understood as mean

that he is obliged to act in any instance as

1 wish to say that the royal grants" re-
ferred to in your article to Lord Baltimore
and Lord Culpeper have nothing to do
with Jurisdiction and navigation on the Po-
tomac river. since the compact supersedes
any previous application they might have
had. The famous Binney case decided in
I'd Bland. 50 (Maryland decision). says that
the Potomac river belongs to Maryland. but
this is limited entirely to territorial rights.
and an examination of that case will dis
close the fact that jurisdiction and naviga-
ton is regulated by the compact of 1855
and deals exclusively with territorial rights
of residents of Maryland. This case was
decided 1873.

FOR THE REGULAR TICKET

Representative Sherman. chairman of the

Philadelphia last evening. when Mr.. Edwin

regular republican ticket made his speech
opening the campaign. and being called
upon at the close, of the Meeting sfor re-
marks made a response that is likely to
cause a good deal of CONSERVATION in the
camp of the fusionists Mr.. Sherman said:
II am here to urge the. republicans of
Pennsylvania to stand by the candidates
who represent the regular republican party.

Secretary Bonaparte has issued a special
order in regard to the STANDARD naval rae
ing cutters as follows:
mo alterations whatever affected the
design of the standard navy racing cutter
shall be made to such boats after they are
issued to ships.

the condition in which they were when re-

1T Is essential that uniformity of design
of the boats should be strictly maintained.
in order that boat racing may afford test

the larger ships"

First Specific Statement.

Since the campaign in Pennsylvania was
opened this is the first specific statement
that has been made by a man who repre-
sents the national party and who is known
to be in close touch with President Roose-
welt to the effect that the forces of the
national party, are. behind the regular. re-
publican state candidates in Pennsylvania.
1t has been rumored from the first that
President Roosevelt favored the candidates
of the regular organization. and it has been
made plain that he is DESTROYS of seeing
as many republican members of the House
of Representatives elected from Pennsyl-
vania as possible But SO far the state
ticket is concerned. although Senator PEN
rose has visited the President many times
since the adjournment of Congress no word
has come from him or from any one who
represents the national party indicating
that either he or the representatives of the
party outside of the state had taken.a hand
in the fight for state offices until Mr.. Sher-

No, Longer ANY Uncertainty.

But the statement has been constantly
made from unauthorized sources that the
President really wishes to, have the, candi-
dates placed before the republican conven-
ton by Senator Penrose elected. This has
beei vigorously denied by Mr.. Louis
Emery. jr., the gubernat orial candidate of
the Lincoln republicans and the democrats.
who has declared that the President and
the republican party outside. of the state
would pursue a policy of Keeping hands off.
Now that the chairman of the republican
congressional committee has spoken in
such positive terms there cannot much
longer be any uncertainty as to the. pref
erences of the President and of the ma
tional leaders of the party in relation to
the state. ticket that is to be elected in

& Test for Gems.

From theSt. LoUis Globr-Dem ocrn'.
1T has frequently been asserted, " SAYS
Mr.. J. A. Key. jeweller. that there are certain
kinds of artificially made gems, in fact. l
believe the statement has been made to cover
all kinds of such stones, that il Is not only
impossible. practically, for the layman to de-
tect them. but that even experts are often
deceived. This is a mistake. however. for by
the simple light test any gem, except a
pearl, may be proved false or real by the
yeriest tyro at such an undertaking.
Il assume that the light test as regards
diamonds il compa~ ratively well known, and
tn il is The same test that may be applied to
emeralds, rubies and SO forth. 1t consists OF
holding the gem directly on a horizontal
line between the eye and a light held at a
preferably this light should be a candle.
In the case of u diamond. but one light will be
seen clearly through the stone, whereas IL
1t is bogus. no matter how much expert care
may have been bestowed upon its making
a hundred lights may be observed. none OF
them clearly defined.
with other genus the best method OF max
ing them is by ~superimposing a top cutting
of garnet on a base. often mere colored glass.
When IL Is held between the light and the eye
therefore,, this line of iuncture, impossible
will appear like a black line. That's Just how :
except pearls, and with these ] confess Is
hard to make a detection without tests that
are not convenient for the layman to. UNDER
take. As a rule, however. a peariof generous
proportions and exceptionally good color IL

NOVEL RENTING SITUATION IN
THE BRONX.
Many New Law Flats Will Bc Opened This
Spring on washington Heights and In
Upper Harlem, but the High Rents
Are Sending Tenants 10 The Bronx.

Upper Harlem, but the High Rente
Are Sending tenants 10 The Bronx.
A great deal Of moving will probably be
done on the first of next May. The number
Of families that will be obliged to seek new
CHARTERS this spring is unusually large.
Hundreds Of private dwellings and old
fashioned three and Jour story single fiat
houses have been bought by professional
builders during the winter and will be torn
down to make way for modern CONSTITUTE
tons.
A building movement OF extraordinary
proportions is in progress on the East Side
Of Manhattan, all the way from Brooklyn
Bridge to the Harlem River. Probably a
majority of the sites east Of Broadway and
of Third avenue that will be put under i'm
rrovement this spring will first have to be
cleared Of houses now occupied by nu-
ncrCus tenants.
Nodoubt many OF the families made home
less in nsequen Of this reconstruction
movement, a movement which is by no
means confined to the East Side, but is mora
or less general throughout the ~oongested
residence quarters in Manhattan, will find
accommodations in recently completed
houses near their old dwellings. II is likely,
however, that the larger number will emf
CRATE uptown, attracted by the more COO
nomtcal rents prevailing there.
The cost OF living downtown has in
creased enormously in recent years, par
ticularly in the last two years. The anti
Guated houses that used to rent at less
than 81 a room a month are rapidly being
demolished. Indeed, most Of them have
already disappeared. with the result that
the pressure of population, is felt with re-
doubled force in the cheaper grades OF
housing. Flats that in 1904 rented at 81 q
room now cost IS, and it Is only by waiting
for a vacancy to occur that intending ten
fnts can obtain old law fats even at the
increased rate. Flats erected in Manhattan
before the present tenement house law
went into effect are fully occupied, and few
Changes take place in their tenantry,
In the new law flats the average rent Ia
ST. a room a month, except on Washington
Heights, where 1t Ia 81. In the upper Lenox
avenue section the rate varies between "
and 81.
What has been said in the foregoing ap-
Plies to non-elevator flats. The rents In
elevator fats or apartment houses are,
Of course, still higher. While the. new law
fats uptown charge nominally the same
or higher rates than those downtown, they
are. in reality, iess expensive, giving a
great deal more for the money. The down.
town fats are an improved type OF tent
ment, and are located In tenement neighor-
hoods. The rooms are small, no steam
heat is furnished, and many other con-
veniences are. lacking that are to be found
in the uptown fats. The latter are IN
select ~neighborhoods, have large and well
lighted rooms and supply most Of the
