Mrs. Grover Cleveland was here the

unostentatiously, not like one revisit

and dynasties may perish, but unchal-

Cleveland came to the funeral of Hon.

the Wilson residence. She was seen
in public only at the obsequies at st.
Patrick's church, where her presence
attracted no attention. While the

BROWNLOW'S TINE NOW
Looks Mighty Good for the Easy Boss
Evans Crowd Caught Red d-Handed.

Washington, Dec. 17.-The recent
statement of Mr.. Roosevelt that he
will not accept third term nder any
consideration will probably have the
effect of restoring Representative
Brownlow to ascendancy in Tennessee
and the ousting from power Of the
Evans-Sanders- Hale combination. The
President has caught them red handed
and with the goods on in their effort
to secure delegation from Tennessee
which could be swung to Mr.. Cortel-
you, and to say that he is as mad as a
March hare is putting it mildly. Their
putting him in the attitude of playing
double, conniving at his own nomina.
tion or aiding the Cortelyou propagan-
da, was little more than he could
stand, and the best inform alton is that
what he told First Assistant Postmast-
er General Hitchcock he thought Of
such course had teeth to it and some
blanks and exclamation points.

COULDN'T FOOL LOEB

Secretary Loeb knew just what was
going on, for Representative Brown
low had told him, and he had clippings
from the Bannar and other Tennessee
newspapers All these things, since
the unsuspecting Mr.. Roosevelt has
got on to them, puts the Tennessee
crowd in bad odor with him, and has
caused him more than once to reflect
on what Secretary Taft told him be-
fore he went to the Philippines. Mr..
Taft told the President that Brownlow
and his friends were the real friends
of his candidacy in Tennessee, and
that the other crowd was going to do
everything in its power against him.
he has seen the statement verified,
has seen himself repeatedly put in the
light Of being political turncoat, and
has seen himself entirely misrepre-
sented, all to further the Cortelyou
cause in Tennessee.
The nomination of Mr.. Taft means
the recognition of Mr.. Brownlow.
Taft knows that the protestations OF
the other crowd are as promises writ
ten in sand. The prospects are bright
ening for hin every day, and as his
star ascends the heavens that of~the
anti-Taft crowd in Tennessee ap-
proaches the Occidental horizon.
Slowly the full truth of the recent
political situation is tiltering out, and
it all justifes the diagnosis that was
made in this correspondence some
weeks ago-that the Cortelyou- Hitch.
cock aggregation were shouting third
term and using it as q cloak under
which to cover a Cortelyou move.

Of his familiars call him that. s
In Pittsburg, where he has lived for
more than twenty years, the new presi-
dent is known as Jim McCrea. This
does not imply that he lacks proper
dignity, but that he Is whole souled
sort Of fellow, not too uppish for hui
man natures daily need. When his
election to the presto ency was announc-
ed somebody asked number Of his
Pittsburg friends what they thought Of
him. The replies were SO much alike
that they were boiled down into a
composite to this effect:
Hes the finest fellow In the world,
with heart as big as a house. who
loves his fellow man as he loves him
self, who is every body's friend and
who hasn't an enemy, in the world.
There's nothing more to tell. McCrea

AMES M,CREA, the new president
Of the Pennsyl vania railroad sys-
81 tenn, is emphatically the man in
whom the widest human inter
est centers just now. BY his election
to succeed the late Alexander j. Cas-
salt he becomes the ruler of the rail-
way realm which has reached the high
est point of legitimate power and Elf
cheney in the world. No doubt Presi-
dent McCrea, who is democratic and
modest, would object to the title Of
railroad king and vet there are plen-
W of actual monarchs who possess
less authority and are Of very much
less Importance In this modern world
than this American citizen.
The McCrea realm embraces more
than 1000 miles Of lines, including
railways, ferries and canals. According
to the latest annual report 126, 084,223
passengers were carried during the
year. Figured In another way, this
means that 3.075,4O2, $40 passengers
were carried a single mile. The syss
tenn moved 333, oil ,237 tons of freight
or by a similar manipulation Of figures
1t moved 29,5O3, 147 1862 tons one mile.
The gross income Of the great realm
was $266, 069, 597. For administering or
operating this realm the sum Of $780,
10O,34S was spent The net earnings
Tor the year were therefore $73. 1863, $40.
