THE RISE OF RICHARD.
German Papers Queer Biography o.:
Ex-Boss Croker.

Don't look in the guide book for all
things worth SEEING" writes young
woman from Germany, according to
the New York Tribune. "The best
thing we have seen since we left home
we shall bring with us and shall do SO
without fear of the governments tax
ing preventive measures. 1t is not an
altar piece nor statue, but an eH-
tract from German paper.
Here it is: Richard Croker, who
won the English Derby recently, is a
strange character. AS poor boy he
went to America from Ireland and
made fortune in the mines. Then he
organized political party to overthrow
the corrupt leader, Tweed, to whom
he was related. After holding many
political Offices he incurred the i'll will
of the Democrats, who feared that he
would become a dictator, and he was
overthrown by younger set, of whom
Roosevelt was one. This destroyed his
chances for the presidency and induc-
ed him to sell most of his property
and to return to his native land, where
he devotes his time to breeding horses.
His former home in America, Tam,
many. in the state Of New York, is oc-
cupied by his sons, under whose leader
ship the party which he organized is
still conducted in the hope that the
founder may be induced some day to
return
"Now, that is nothing but prosy biog-
raphy, but we got more fun out Of 1t
than we did out of all the be-e-e-eutiful
scenery for which the guide book says
this part of the country is famous"

DR.. Broughton in New York.

The city Of New York is at last
getting gospel preaching, the kind
your correspondent has so long con-
tended this wicked center needed. A
gospel of ''hell fire." as Broughton
terms it, is being proclaimed on
Broadway by the Atlanta minister
brought here to help stem the tide
of sin and debauchery sweeping over
the city.
The press pronounces the preacher
as the superior of Sam Jones in force,
eloquence and argument. The large
lot adjoining Broadway Tabernacle,
one Of the leading churches, has been
enclosed and is used for the great
meeting now in progress. Sunday
evening the Tabernacle had a con-
gregation of fifty, the tent thousands.
People are focking to the tent and
the fiery divine is having his hands
upheld by good citizens of Greater
New York.
The churches and preachers who
have been discussing the question,
"Why do not people attend church?''
now realize the reason. DR.. Brough-
ton asserts that Paris is the wickedest
city on earth, with New York close
second.
The fashionable life, the sporting
element, the city officials, particular
ly the police department, all are
coming in for a share of the Doctors
cutting criticisms, and they are be-
ing held up as responsible for the
way things are going here. More
will be heard of this great meeting,
and it's results will be general
awakening, and the preachers and
people will learn that "old time re-
ligion" is the kind the metropolis
needs and must have to accomplish
results. The meeting bid fair to ex-
eel the Gypsy Smith ones, which
although great, were of an entirely
different type.
Smith preached a gospel of love-
easy, smooth in his speech and meth
DDS, he won his way to the hearts of
men ndwomen by the score. Brough-
ton pours ''hot shot," proclaims
punishment in no uncertain sound,
lets the 'chips fly no matter whom
they HIT
It is gratifying to the writer, who
has so frequently contended the
"Rro,lohton hlows'' were the thinp
needed, to see they are, New York
is hard-hearted, but soft place re
mains, and it is open to conviction,
or more truthfully afraid of future
punishment. H. w. FINLAYSON.

An Auto Professor.

The young king of Spain is extreme
" fond of his automobile, and, desiring
to advance the interests of automobil'
ism in his domains, he has recently es'
tablished at the School Of Arts and
Sciences in Madrid a chair devoted to
that subject, says Youths Companion
The professor occupying this chair is
to teach both theory and practice. The
course Of study includes both manual
training and text book instruction. In
recognition of the fact that AUTOMOBILE
ism is not without its perils to life and
limb instruction in first aid surgery Is
to be given. The professor is also to
teach his pupils the law Of the road as
it applies to automobiles.

Educator Resigns His Work.

AIKEN, August 9.-County Super
intendent of Education A. W. San
ders has rendered his resignation
after holding the office for several
terms. His many friends will regret
to learn that he will give up the Of

official. He resigned to accept a po-
sition as clerk of the county dispen-
sary board, which pays larger sal
ary than his present office.

tendent Sanders has given entire
satisfaction and has often been COM
plimented on his excellent business

Had Been There Before.

There was once a man from Toledo,
Ohio who, while having "a good
time in the Tenderloin district, was,
according to Simson Ford, "held up"
by an individual who suddenly darted
out from a dark corner and presented
a pistol at the head of the Wester-
ner.
"Give me your money, or I'll blow
out your brains!" observed the foot
pad.
Without flinching, the Toledo man
surveyed the highwayman. "Blow
away" said he. 'I'd rather be with
out brains in New York than without
monev.'
