Famous Political Proano sticator.

AS a political prognosticator Major
Alexander Mcdowell, clerk of the
house, is reckoned without a peer in
his end OF the capitol building in
Washington. He called the nominal
ton of Mckinley in 1896 and Parker
in 1904. He picked Reed for speaker
in the fifty-fourth congress and Reeds
successors in the chair-Henderson
and Cannon. He has also been sue.
cessful in calling the turn in state
nominations in Pennsylvania, and as
the major halls from the keystone
state he comes mighty near knowing
all the ms and outs of Pennsylvania

Dowell was asked il he could name
the man to lead the Democrats in
1908. With a good-natdred smile he
answered: "Why not ask me who

Discovery of Enormous Cavern I n
der CharIestovn, w. Va.
The city of Charlestown, w Va. was
thrown into panic Tuesday by the dis
covery of a gigantic cave directly be-
meath the town, the top of which is near
enough the surface of the earth to make
the situation appear precarious TO the in
habitants. Many residents have fed from
the city and others are preparing TO leave
soon for a place of safety. 1t is feared
the entire city must be abandoned. The
cave contains a large lake. 1t has been
impossible to determine the size Of the
cavern. Men blasting rock made the dis
covery of the lake and cavern, when the
discharge caused the earth to crumble and
fall in, leaving great hole. Workmen
ventured into the cavern, exploring it for
a considerable distance. They discovered
the lake, and returning to the surface pro-
cured small boat, in which they rowed
about for several hundred yards. They
were afraid to venture further into the
bowels of the earth without procuring
lights and taking proper preparations and
safeguards to avoid becoming lost. There
are limestone formations in the cavern
similar to those in the noted Luray caves.
The water of the lake is remarkably pure
and is cold and sweet to the taste. The
cavern runs from the point Of discovery
directly under the city of Chariestown.

DRIVING THE POOR OUT.
High Rents Responsible for Re-
duced Population in Manhattan.

The greed of the New York landlords
in arbitrarily raising rents in the poorer
sections is bearing fruit. For the first
time in a century. according to figures in
the hands of the Board of Education, the
population of Manhattan has ceased to
grow, and is on the decline. 1t is esti-
mated that the borough has lost 10000
inhabitants in the last year.
These figures are based on the amazing
decline in school attendance in all of
those localities where poverty and squalor
reign, and the mushroom rise of new com
munities of the same class of people in
the outlying boroughs On the East Side,
south of Fourteenth street. not less than
10000 persons have moved away. From
Thirtyfourth street north to Fifty ninth
a broad belt straight across the island
has been depopulated to the extent of
5000 or more.
What poverty has done in the sections
mentioned toward reducing the popula-
ton, the mo baby mandate of the swell
apartment proprietors has done for the
locality from Eighteenth street north to
One Hundred and Tenth street on the
West Side. There, where children are
not admitted, there has been a depletion
of population of more than 1000.
School officials most conversant with
the situation were unanimous in assert
ing that the decrease in school attendance
in the borough was due to a decline in
population, and not TO truancy or any
other cause. They point out that what
was lost to Manhattan was gained in
Brownville, Brooklyn, where 2.4OO new
pupils, equivalent to 1900 population,
are in attendance, of whom 10000 are on
part time. Three other Brooklyn school
districts have an increased attendance of
$500. Queens has as many and the
Bronx 1000. Manhattan. on the other
hand, has 5000 fewer pupils than it had
last year.
Never in the history of the city has
such a thing occurred before. For years
the annual increased attendance in Man
haitian has fuctuated from 5000 to 90
600.
