HARRY THAW A MARK FOR CRANKS OF ALL KINDS

FRANKS of every caliber through N out the country now have their minds concentrated upon Harry K. Thaw. Possibly there are few indi- viduals in New York who receive as many letters and postcards as the Pittsburger. He peruses a heaping bushel basketful of missives every day, and many of these contain mas cots, medals and prophecies. Thaw is superstitious to marked degree, and when a crank from Chicago wrote that he would be freed on St. Pat rick's day he looked forward to March F with much anxiety only to be doomed to disappointment. Another writer advised Thaw to carry his gray ulster every time he entered the court room, because the garment was a talisman and would bring good luck. That the prisoner followed the advice of the writer there is no doubt, be- cause the other day, when the tenn perature reached 90 in the court room,

nothing. The railway station is no longer the biggest thing in Prescott and the town will not likely move about with it.
 It would mean much to the business interests of Prescott for the Iron Mountain and the Prescott & North Western to build union depot. We are informed there is some probability of this being done. But whether this is done or not Prescott will be rid of a great nuisance if the old platform and depot can be moved from their present location.

(GIlson Gardner In sueeess.l

The lobbyist is generally pictured
as man who buys expensive food
for legislators, and takes his profits
in Illicit legislation And that is
what the typical lobbyist Is. The late
Nathaniel Mckay was such. He apr
pealed to members of the House and
Senate through their gastronomic sys-
TENS, and grew rich on claims" To
Nat" as he was always called, the
origin OF a claim was not important.
1t might in the beginning have been
a just claim, or 1t might not; the
essential thing about it was the fact
that 1t was several generations old,
and the legitimate beneficiaries dead.
Such a claim is good for fifty per cent.
for the lobbyist who gets it through.
Where the other fifty goes may be left
TO the ina agination.
But NAT furnished bed as well as
board. AS the crowning feature OF
his long and successful career as an
influencer of legislation, he built a
small hotel, the Dewey, in which
suites were furnished for a number OF
his more favored congressman. On
these suites he spent his money and
his taste, with the result that the fur
niture was hand painted and embe'-
lished with Photographic portraits Of
his guests. From the back of chair,
for example, the intelligent counte-
nance of the venerable Charles H
Grosvenor looks out, a subtle tribute
to the Ohio solon's wisdom in mat
ters legislative. Another suite was
thus consecrated to the right honora-
bic George w. Steel, of Marion, In
diana, tnow politically defunct); an
other to the honorable julius Caesar
Burrows, Senator for Michigan; and
other members high in the peoples
trust, and the affections of the win
ming Nat" were similarly honored.
NAT" himself is gone; but the con
test over his estate survives, as do the
portraits on the furniture, and some
of those portrayed.
And, the memory survives Of
Mats" dinners. One in particular
will go down in history as "the ban
Quet of the tablecloth." At this re-
past, where all things were in proper
ton, the damask on which the wine
and food were spread cost. as Nat"
informed his guests, $4,000. At the
plate of each guest-all chosen from
the Congressional DIRECTORY"
embroidered the coat-of-arms of the
guests native state. AT the end Of
the feast a pair of shears was passed.
and the guests scissored his section
of the cloth as souvenir of the oc-
casion.

would not be placed on the field.

nlub, has secured possession of the

lease upon for two years.
