The Republican Advancement.

"rhe republican meeting at the Hippo drome' said a democrat, was the first one I ever witnessed where the negroes were separated from the whites. In giv- ing Chairman Frank Lathrop credit for the gentlemanly way in which he has conducted this campaign, he should be thanked for placing the negroes in one section of the gallery at the Hippodrome Saturday night.
 "As campaign manager MT. Lathrop has been most broad minded, and with good judgment has brought his factions together. While he cannot hope for vic tory in Alabama, l believe he is doing democracy a favor by building up a strong opposition party in the state. It will keep us wider awake to our obligations

 At Jacks. on Sixth avenue, opposite the Hippodrome, Jack Dunstan himself is foremost among those who stay up all night. Jacks works day and night shifts of walters and cooks, for Jacks has d steady and brisk transient trade by day; but it, too, is favorite place for those who stay up all night and all night the place is full.
 The folks who stay up all night are ministered to by more than restaurant proprietors and cabmen. man who stays-up all night may need shave. Here's an all-night barber shop. He may get toothache Here is a dentist whose illuminated sign reads, "Open all night" He may want the services of a private detective to follow the movements of a. faithless love or a suspected employe.

 The Day and Night bank over on Fifth avenue, is open all night. The Turkish baths are open all night. But the oldest of all odd things are the all-night law yers. Not only are their offices orna- mented with the so-stating signs, but they walk abroad and go about among the people who stay up all night to give first legal aid where required.

There is the all-neht lawyer whispering he will look out for her interests, handing the ever-ready card, seeing the hysterical woman to a cab and, being very sure of this last, getting her name and address.

IN TIE WOOD OF FINvARA.

By Arthur Symons. have grown tired of sorrow and human
 tears; Life is dream in the night, fear among
 fears, A naked runner lost in a storm of spears. I have grown tired of rapture and loves
 desire Love is flaming heart, and it's flames Till they cloud the soul in the smoke of
 a windy fire. I would wash the dust of the world in a
 soft green flood; Here. between the sea and sea, in the
 fairy wood, I have found a delicate wave green soli-
 ture. Here, in the fairy wood, between sea and
 sea, I have heard the song of a fairy bird in
 a tree, And the peace that is not in the world
 has flown to me. 4

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Pleasure is a steppingstone to misery.
 Old maids can't be happy, because they don have so much to worry about.
 A man can always find something to be conceited about, if it's only that he isn't.
 The reason woman likes to own a little box of house in the suburbs Is so she can speak of it as her country estate.
 The only pleasure a man gets out of having his wife for a partner in cards is how he can scod her about her playing the way he couldn't other people.

 The democratic vote in 1904 was un- usually light. many democrats consid- ering Judge Parker to some extent at least reactionary. Even Missouri went republican.
 Much interest is felt today in the vote the socialists will cast. It is be- lieved that this vote will be increased today very much as it was four years ago. Perhaps more prohibition votes will be cast today than were cast four years ago, while the populist vote will scarcely hold it's own.
 NO matter what the electoral college may do, MT. Bryan's vote will exceed 6,000, 900. for heavy endorsements are coming to him in all the states west in Pennsylvania Nor will MT. Taft's vote equal MT. Roosevelt's in 1904. The total figures will not be at hand in many days, but when they are returned the true state of public senti- ment will be ascertained The popular vote is ever a better index of the pop ular will than the clumsy electoral vote.

WATSON SEES ROOSEVELT
Republican Whip Hopes for
Some Legislation.

Washington, May 5.-Representa-
tives Watson and Alexander of New
York had long conference with the
president concerning the legislative
programme for the remainder of the
session of congress- The president is
heartily in favor of the enactment of
an anti-injunction law and the amend
ment of the Sherman antitrust law
Mr.. Alexander's presence at the con-
ference was due to the fact that he
has prepared bill making the gov.
eminent liable for injuries to its EN-:
ployes while in the service and he
wanted to confer with the president
about this before pressing it in the
house judiciary committee, of which
he is a member. Mr.. Watson, who
was some time ago sanguine of an ad-
journment by May Is, says he is now
doubtful as to the date. He told the
president that the house judiciary
committee gave some signs of agree
ment on an anti-injunction law, but
as to amending the Sherman ANTITRUST
law he could give the president no
assurance. Mr.. Watson was confident
that some of the other measures ia.
vored by the president, including a
child labor law for the District of Co.
lumbia, would become laws.
