There is NO
HONEST CRAFT
Mayor Mcclellan, of New York
Tells the Schenectady
Students.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, June 1.-THE
one hundred and tenth commencement
exercises Of Union college were held
in the First Reformed church here and
a class of forty-six members received
their degrees. The honorary chancellor
was the Hon. George b. Mcclellan,
mayor of New York city, who spoke OH
'The Profession of Politics." Mayor
Mcclellan said in part:
II have come to You today holding no
brief for either party. l have come to
you to speak Of the profession to which
l have the honor to belong in the hope
that what | have to say may have some
slight influence in determining you to
make your life work the profession of
politics.
do not misunderstood me. BY the
profession of politics do not mean the
trade of politics. The two are vastly
different. a professional politician
may be a statesman: a political trades
MAJ may be a criminal.
'Tkere is no occupation more igno-
BILE, more sordid, more despicable, than
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-06-14

the trade of politics. There is none
more inspiring. more capable of good,
than its profession.
There is no such thing as honest
graft These called honest CRATER Is
far more to be feared tnan the bank
burglar and does far more harm than
his less cowardly if less successful
brother in state prison.
"The theory that graft can under
certain circumstances be honest has
done more TO discredit Il great profess
sion than all the mud singers. yellow
journalists and muck rakers combined.
Don't expect to succeed in politics,
don't even try for success, unless you
are determined to preserve your self
respect.
"Gild it as you please. call it legiti-
mate business. counsel fee or contract
for public or private work, graft is
graft none the less, grisly, hideous and
dishonest.
Our people demand that the Ameri-
can politician should conform to an
even higher moral standard than the
private citizen. The standard by which
the politician should be judged cannot
be too high.
IF you abnse a public man long
enough and cleverly enough you will
end by making him either famous or
infamous. Fortunately there is a spirit
of fair play IN the American people
that usually asserts itself.
six months ago the district attorney
of my home county was the idol of the
press. Today some Of those who were
then warmest in his support are most
uniustly clamoring for his downfall
because he has failed to do the impos-
sible.
What is wanted in public life in this
country is not 50 much financial in
tegrity and money honesty. for the
average of both is higher with us than
with any nation on earth, but moral
courage ana intellectual integrity.
There are certain essentials to sue
cess in politics without which no man
should undertake. its profession. and
these essentials are. four-a sense OF
honor. common sense. n sense OF pro-
portion and last. but not least. a sense
of humor. If you have not these,
leave politics alone

PASSENGER TRAIN DERAILED,
Train Wreckers Throw Passenger
Train off Track Near AMendale.
The Fireman Killed.

Columbia, Sept. 27.-The Southern
northbound passenger train due here
at 6.30 O'Clock from Savannah was
wrecked between Barlow and Allen
dale.
The railroad officials think that the
track has been tampered with and that
the wreck was the work of train
wrcckers. The magistrate at Barlow
telcgraphed the Governor for blood
hounds but none were available at
the time. However later on the hounds
were rushed to the scene of the wreck
and are trailing the wreckers.
The fireman, Andrew Kemp, was
killed, his legs being crushed into II
jelly. Kemp is a negro and has been
fireman on the road for some time
Engineer Mcdaniel was badly burned
and cut. While his injuries are very
painful it is not thought they will
prove fatal.
No passengers were injured, though
six cars left the track. Seven rails
were removed from the track. The OBJ
ject of the train wreckers is not known
but it is thought they were discharged
employees of the road. Railroad de
tcctives will be sent to the scene OF
the wreck at once. &.

COURSE OF THE GULF STORM.
Reports to Weather Bureau Show that
It Reached Hurricane Fro
portions.

Washington, Sept. 277.-Belated re-
ports from Pensacola, Fla, to the
weather bureau here show that the
Gulf storm has passed inland some
distance west of that station, with
winds on hurricane strength, the max
imum velocity at that station being 8S
miles an hour. The storm is probably
central tonight in the south central
portion Of mississippi. No re ports,
however, have been received for that
State, including Louisiana and south
western Alabama. 1t is believed to be
decreasing in energy and that it will
move slowly northward during the
next "a hours.
An increase in energy, however, may
be looked for when the disturbance
reaches the lower Lake region. It's
probable course during the next "a
hours will be north through Tennessee
and Kentucky and into the Ohio val
ley
Rain will continue in the middle
Mississippi valley, the Ohio valley and
the South Atlantic States, and will
probably spread into the western por-
tion of the middle Atlantic States and
.he lower Lake region by Friday
night.

STORM AT PENSACOLA.
Every House in the City Suffered
More or Less Damage. -,

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 27.-The
worst storm and hurricane that the
Gulf coast has experienced since the
village Of Pensacola on San Rosa is
land was swept 107 years ago, began
last night and is still raging late this
afternoon. 1t is reported that many
lives between the city and navy yard
have been lost, but as many repo tts
OF this character~have been current all
day, the report does not obtain cred
ence. |E
II is known, however, that many Of
the houses in that section are under
from five t" 10 feet of water, and
many women have been taken from
second story windows and carried to
safety in boats. -
The estimated property damage is
T}.000,000. Every house in Pensacola
suffered damage and many roofs are
blown OFF. Telephone and telegraph
and electric light wires are among the
mass. The water front is strewn with
wrcckage for miles on either side Of
the city, and vessels are piled on the
whawcs, or where the wharves once
were, i'll utter ruin. Big steamers and
many lighter sailing ships are lying
high and dry up in the city, where the
tide has never been known to reach.
Everywhere for miles around wharves
have been swept away or are damaged
beyond repair. The electric power
was shut Off at 'clock this morning.
There is no street car traffic and COM
mumication with the outside world is
practically cut off. The streets of
Pensacola are strewn with timbers
tin roofing and broken glass. This
dispatch, with other tclegraphic mat
ter. is bein" carried to Flomatin, Ala
by the Western Union manager, who
make the trip by train to ascertain
the extent Of damage done here and
elsewhere. II is feared great havoc
and loss Of life will he shown when
reports from the entire sections along
the coast can he gathered.
New Orleans, Sept. 27.--A tropica,
hurricane has been driving the water
of the Gulf of Mexico in shore for the
past Is hours with winds Of IS to &C
miles an hour. The storm had not abat
ed early this afternoon.
Great loss Of property, but no los,
life, had been reported up to this af
ternoon. Nevertheless great apprchcn
sion is felt for the towns along In,
Gulf coast, which are cut off from
communication with New Orleans
This apprehension was increased b,
several narrow escapes from drown
ing reported during the day.
The first meagre details to reach tn
city from outlying districts told O.
havoc wrought by the Lake Ponchar
train on the outlying portion of New
Orleans, the lake having risen abou
five feet because of the incoming wa
ter. All railroad, telegraph and tele
phone communication was cut off. The
roadbed of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad was submerged at LAX,
Catherine, an inlet from the Gulf, five
miles east of here The New Orleans
and Northeastern railroad reported
that their trestle over Lake Ponchar,
train was under water for a distance
Of is miles. Queen and Crescent trains
were prevented from entering the city
by the rise Of the lake.

Pensacola, where the maximum We

this morning, reports property loss
of $3,000,000 and sends rumors of loss

long enough TO CLEAN this information
this afternoon failed with the com
ing Of night.
Rumors in New Orleans.
New Orleans furnished numerous
wild rmors during the day, but later
reports from there indicate that while
there was considerable damage to pro-
perty. there has been no loss of life.
Wires between New Orleans and the
Gulf are down and it may be several
days before anything can be heard
from the territory between the Cres-
cent City and the Gulf, or from the
shipping which is riding out the storm
in the open Gulf.
Biloxi, Miss, and Moss Point, Miss,
have not been heard from for nearly
"a hours; Moss Point reporting the
water five feet deep in the streets at

serious damage was done.

Handkerchief Case.

A useful and pretty article is
handkerchief case which can be made
very easily. Take a piece of velvet
and a piece of silk of a color that will
look well with the velvet, each the
size of a lady's handkerchief About
a yard and a half OF ribbon the same
color as the velvet may be used,
though it is not positively necessary.
Sew the silk and velvet together by
overhanding on all sides. Now take
three of the corners, bring them over
to the middle of the square, over
handing the seams. Turn on the 9TH
er side SO that the velvet is on the
outside. If you wish to use ribbon
you may bind the edges of the case
neatly Put a small book on the point
of the flap and a small eye at the point
where the three-corners join. Put a
rosette of the ribbon at this place so
as to cover the fastening. Now the
handkerchief case is finished and with
a pretty lace handkerchief in it, would
prove very acceptable gift.

children's Names in syria.

Shfidf eli . tNdfTCS III
In Syria the names of children are
very odd. They suggest those of our
Indians inasmuch as the child's name
is apt to be something which occurred
at the time of it's birth-something
which interested it's parents. For in
stance, if you were child of this
country your name in all probability
would be Stuffed Cabbage" or tHo-
tel,'' or Civil War or something akin
to these. If child falls sick his name
is Immediately changed. Instead of
his parents thinking that a piece OF
pie or too much pudding disagreed
with him they attribute his sickness
to the fact that his name did not
agree with him. When one under
stands what these names are one does
not wonder that the child may have
fallen sick because of themi When
the children get angry they call each
other names, very much as children
have a habit the world over. What is
strange to US is that they do not
heap abuse on their enemy, but on his
father, grandfather, or great-grand-
father The farther back the angry
one can go the more irritating his
companion finds him.

But one day off the French coast
an incident occurred which was the
cause of my abandoning a sea-faring
life, and saying farewell forever to
all the dreams of fame, which had
been so dear to me.
Ten miles out from Havre we
espied a small rowboat in which was
