NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Charles +. Murphy,
leader Of Tammany hall, gave out a. in
terview today in which he declared that his
view of the political situation in New York
state is tina "the democracy Is going to
win this year" or Mr.. Bryan the Tam
many chieftain said:
"Mr. Bryan is much stronger in the state
thar he was either in 1896 or 1900. Why, l
do not exactly know yet. but the fact re-
mains that there Is a variety OF evidence
on which to base belief in his increased
popularity.
"One reason, l think, lies in dissatisfac-
ton with Roosevelt and Rooseveltian poll
cies-too much autocratic rule and swing
ing Of the big stick. A great many men
who sided with the republican party in thu
past will not do so this year. It meant
something when men like Judge Morgan
J. O'Brien and Delaney Nicoll. who OPP
posed Bryan in the past. are now going to
vote for him.
will Mr.. Bryan, at the head of the ma.
tional ticket, be a help to the state demo-
cratic ticket instead of a drag, as in the
past?" was asked.
Yes, think his name will be of ma
terial assistance this year. We endorse the
ticket and platform heartily and shall go
right to work for it

keeper, who had been sworn in as a deputy

WOMEN At THE CORN SHOW
Taught How to Cook and Prepare
Meals by Experts.
WILL INSTALL MODEL KITCHEN
Everyday Subjects which Claim the
Attention of the Housewives
VIII BE Taught Those
Desiring to Learn.

One OF the features OF the National Corn
exposition to be held in Omaha next De-
cember, of which little has been heard so
far is the model kitchen course for women
to be conducted under the supervision of
Miss Jessie Besack of Iowa Agricultural
college at Ames, Ia. AS the exposition is
national in its scope this course will be
open to women from everywhere who care
to avail themselves of the privilege.
While the details of the course have not
yet been worked out Miss Besack has her
program outlined and 1t is to include lee
lures on practical everyday subjects that
claim the consideration Of the housewife.
The speakers will all be experienced au-
thorities in their respective lines and
among the subjects to be considered will
be the cutting of meats with instruction
regarding the various parts; home decor
alton with illustrations in the way of wall
paper. draperies. rugs. curtains, pictures
and other things that contribute to the
decoration Of the room the dress problem
will afford the subject for another lecture
and living models will be used to illustrate
the wearing OF different styles, colors. etc.
The setting OF the table. table department
for hostess and guest and the serving OF
a meal with or without a servant will he
considered at another lecture, while the
Judging of china, home nursing and bac-
teriology will be considered in others.
VIII Have Laboratory.
The other important feature OF the course
will be a laboratory which will probably
be equipped for a class Of about 100. Here
laboratory work in the preparation OF foods
will be carried on at least twice a day es-
pecial attention being given to meats and
cereals. These classes will be conducted
by a most experienced teacher. Owing to
the expense incidental TO the equipment
and maintenance OF this laboratory and the
lecture course, a small fee will be charged.
For women desiring to attend only the lee
lures and the other privileges except the
laboratory work, season tickets win be
Issued at a small cost. these tickets also

hibits OF the exposition.

the management OF the exposition has ar
ranged with the Young Women's Christian
association TO provide dormitortes and
chaperonage for young women who may

the association rooms and special rates will
be made by the association for their meals.

His chief pleasure was in his family

federate Veterans Camp, New York,
but it was rarely that he attended it's
meetings. He was a member of the
Mercantile Exchange, the New York

of which he always had the deepest in

he played a great part.

HAS ENTERTAINED MILLIONS
Eden MuSee Celebrates its Silver
Jubilee Today: Some Noted
Characters Represented
There.
Special to The ARGUS.

New York, Feb. 24-The Elder Mu-
see, one of the familiar landmarks of
West Twenty third street, is decorated
with a lavish display of flags and bunt-
ing today in celebration of it's silver
jubilee or twenty-ffth anniversary.
The place of entertainment was open
ed a quarter of a century ago., when
the wax works shows were enjoying
the sunlight of popular favor. Within
a few years almost every city of con
sequence in America had its ''musee,'
but the institution in West Twenty
third street stands today almost the
sole survivor OF the legion, all the rest
having fallen victims to the fickleness
Of the novelty-loving public.
During it's career of twenty-five
years the Eden Musee in this city has
been visited by more than IL ,00O, 600
persons. The largest number of ad-
missions on a single day vas 11,8O1,
which figure was cached October 1st,
1900, the day of the Dewey celebration
in New York.
Two Thousand Individual wax figures
have been seen in the Musee since it's
opening. Among those which attract
ed great attention in their time were
figures OF Jay Gould, General Grant,
Lily Langtry, James q. Blaine, Gen.
Joseph Wheeler, AMI General Booth, OF
the Salvation Army, all of whom gave
personal sittings tor their figures. Il
is estimated that upwards of $500, OO(
has been spent in costumes alone 70,

OBSERVATIONS BY
A FIRST NIGHTER

A PART from the rival productions
"a of "The Devir' at the Burbank
"A and Belasco theaters the week is
practically devoid of novelty. At the
Auditorium the Lewis S. Stone COM
pany enters upon the second week OF
it's very capable production of George
AIDES "The College Widow" At the
Grand, mot Yet but Soon" having
proved a failure, the Gayety company
will revive "Gayest Manhattan" played
for three weeks earlier in the season
and which achieved notoriety through
the daring of its bathing girls and re-
nown through the admirable acting or
Charles Giblyn in the role of an old
time actor. The Peoples theater, dark
through the summer, reopens this after
noon, presenting "The Montana Linn
ited.'' a melodramatic thriller of the
sort which last year was seen at the
Grand opera house. At F1schers the
stock company will present Little
Robinson Crusoe," formerly used by
Eddie Foy and in which Adele Earring
ton, recently of the Belasco forces,
played the title role. Here the part is
to be entrusted to Fred Lancaster, Herr
Fischer's new baritone. The Mason
continues dark for another week. The
Orpheum, Los Angeles Empire and
UNIQUE offer their customary changes
of BILL beginning with matinee per-
formances tomorrow.
The Stone stock company at the Aud
itorium opened most auSpiciously last

week. The people fairly flocked to the
"Theater Beautiful" So large was the
attendance that the management was
virtually compelled to continue NThe
College Widow" for another week. How
many of the attendants were attracted
by curiosity regarding the new COM
pany and how many by the play pre-
sented is, of course. a question. How
ever the fact remains that the theater
was well filled at every performance
and that audiences were well pleased
with the production.
1t was thought that the Stone open
ing would seriously affect attendance
at the other stock houses, but this
seems not to have been the case. The
Belasco reports a. satisfactory week
with I'm the Bishops Carriage" and
the Burbank box office receipts for the
second week of Hoyt's "a Contented
Woman" were in excess of the first
weeks figures. This is both astonish-
ing and difficult of explanation, but the
fact remains.
"The College Widow" was given an
elaborate production. The scenery,
painted by Richard Brunton, is effec-
tive, and the costuming is in keeping
with the requirements. The cast of the
play is a long one and there are sur
prising number of good character bits,
surprisingly we'll played.
In my review of the opening per-

tice to Darrell Standing and am happy
now to make amends. Mr.. Standing,

Ben Dillon, comedian at Fischer's

six years. Last summer and for several
years before that he was a prominent
member OF the Kolb and Dill company.
Dillon is a good story teller, and from
the fund of his early transforming ex-
periences can always untangle a good
yarn. The other night he told of his
first engagement with a theatrical
troupe"
