by Murphy and left of the regular Democratic
ticket The dupes raised a howl; but Mr.
Ihrnsen. Hearst's campaign manager. assured
them they could nominate candidates for local
of1ces. This was done; but down in Tammany
Hall Murphy only winked. He told his friends
that the Board OF Elections would fix things
and II did. It threw out nearly all OF the
Independence League nominations. Then to
quiet the dupes Mr.. Hearst offered a prize Of
s. 200 for the Villains who stole or mutilated

Appellate Division Of the Supreme Court But

Murphy's move was said TO be only ruse to
make the public think he and Hearst are
enemies Upstate, however, Hearst has been
hard hit. Prominent state democrats, headed
by Thomas Mott Osborne, seized the Democratic

anti-Hearst campaign. The oldline Democrats

The CHIvALRoUs RED MAN.

Near the end of brilliant match, between our
Oldest university and the Carlisle Indians, one
of the Indian backs suddenly got away with the
ball and was off down the field with nothing be-
tween him and the goal posts but one man. If
the RUNNER succeeded in getting by him, 1t
meant everlasting athletic glory for himself and
perhaps a victory for his small college over this
mighty institution of learning, containing the
flower OF the civilization which had swept his
fOrefathers away from the lands they once
possessed. The crowd in the stands had arisen.

do at such moments But just as he had almost
gained the coveted line, that one man, famous
sprinter brought the runner down with beau

As the two lay there together. the fair-haired
representative of New England, while still clasp

became aware, at the bottom OF the heap there

WHY LEOPOLD RULES BELGIUM.

Viewed merely as business enterprise, the
Congo State has been Immense success. But
the Congo is more to Leopold than invest
msnt. It is the bulwaTk OF his enormous per-
sonal influence and power in Belgium. The in
heritance of this royal captain of industry was
little kingdom, made up Of heterogeneous ele
merits Catholic and Protestant, Germanio and
Gallo, patched together and presented to his
father by the powers in 1880. The constitution
founded on the model OF England. provided for
king who should reign rather than rule; whose
function seemed to be limited to providing a
sort of ornamental facade, behind which the
parliament. representing the people. was to con-
duct the affairs of the State. While the King
has shared of the German EmpeTOr'S s
medieval aspirations, he has. perhaps done
more than any other monarch to re-establish
the principle OF personal government and to
show how it IS possible in modern Europe TO
rule even though you king.
When the King capitalized the Congo situa-
ton, put the stocks or the Antwerp market and
made tfsern pay enormous dividends he went
far toward converting the Belgian public to the
notion Of his personal and absolute government
in the Congo. When again, with the capital he
had taken out of the Congo. he put himself at
the head OF the Belgian financiers and led the
campaign for foreign concessions he gathered
about him the strongest influences in the Belgian
state. And later. when the possession OF for
eign concessions opened now markets for Bel
gian manufacturers and Belgium began to grow
rich under the impetus the King had given to
foreign trade. Belgian manufacturers discovered
that there were sound reasons for letting the
King run Begium.-Robert r. Park, in Every

THE COUNTRY HOTEL.

Here follow a few questions from the heart.

First-Why should the hotel be situated in the
hottest part of the village and unprotected by
trees?
at an uncomfortable tilt and with total width
Of three feet?
Third-IVhy is the barroom-a tobacco-stale

Surely a cozy, cool hotel. conducted in an
orderly hospitable way, would be boon to the
community It would attract the stranger and
hold the buyer. 1t would not cost a cent more
