In Old 1saacs, Mr.. Blaney has made a
drawing from real. life Of a real Jew.Who
really lived in-zthe real Bowery, and as
tho that was not enough Of realism, ithe
part is played by the real son of the real
hero Harry First. Old Isaacs is very far
from the type of Hebrew who usually
plays a part in melodrama, and hisSbe-
nevolence, his unseldsh efforts to bring
happiness and fortune to everybody who
deserves them, have at Etimes a pafhos

sBourke Cochran's Choice.

II Mr.. Hearst has been eulogized by his
own Mr. Brisbane as the s'greatest pro.
ducersof intelligent dissatisfaction of
the eentury.''
He8shas another claim to fame, and
that is as a producer of non-intelll-
gent satisfaction. He produced this in
the Hon. Bourke Cochran, who, in Sec
ondings the nomination Of Hearst at
Buffalo, said: "What is the alterna-
tiyea Admit that on one side we have
communism, socialism land all those
evils that my dear democratic friends
have mentioned. On the other side we
have the unspeakable corruption thru
all our public and business life. If i
must choose between rottenness and
riot, r regret the choice, but give me
riot. Riot will cure itself in time, but
rottenness once entered into. the body
polite, that body can never again be
made whole.'
The evidence of non-intelligent salts
faction is seen when a man like Bourke
Cochran can sink himself to support
Hearst for the high office Of governor
and to give such reasons for his vote.
1t was known in advance Of the Buff
falo convention that Murphy, the chief
of Tammany, was flirting with the
Hearst boom, and the democratic news
papers, after telling this truth, cried
out: 'sOh for man, a fully grown
adult man!' Such man they be-
1ieved could and would head off the
Tammany boss plan and save the par
ty. jerome tried to be the man, but
he was not full-grown nor adult. He
failed. Others tried it, but were too
little for the task.
But here is the point about Cochran
.Thossa full-grown adult and a virilt
power in speech, he never tried. hi
went to. Buffalo to be voted as Muir
physdecided. He did vote. as Murphy
decreed.7 He voted, as he said for riot
but did he not also vote for rottenness
We are taught Of two evils to choos'
the less, but when two evils were pre-
scented to Bourke Cochran, rather thai
risk a fight he chose them both, III
chose the riot candidate dictated b,
the rotten boss. ~..~u

New York, Oct. 1.-Within, a. few
miles Of New York city there is In
progress a manhunt which, in it's fan
tastic features, rivals. the most daring
! tales Of the old .buccaneer days before
the civil war: The ,pursuers in this,
case are, two, United States revenue
cutters, the Gresham and the Dexter.
and a British revenue cutter, the Nep-
tune, all the members of the lifesaving
corps along the Atlantic coast and the
entire immigration and Chinese rinspec-
tion forces.
Those pursued are thirty three Chin
ese and the four or five members of the
smuggling crew of the Frolic, a small
yacht, in the cramped quarters Of which
the thirt-eight human beings have been
herded since Saturday, Sept. 20, when
the Frolic cleared from Newfoundland
for Boston. - 80 -
It is the second venture in the Chin

two weeks prior to the sailing Of the
Frolic for the New England coast with
her company of Chinese, those who now
direct the course Of the Frolic landed
