A FEW DISCREPANCIES.

Careful observers will note a few
discrepancies in the various explana-
lions that are being offered of the
secret consignment of Parker-Ryan
Doodle to Nebraska in 1904.
Accounts from the Wall street end
of 1t are to the effect that $40, 900 left
Wall street headed for the Nebraska
prairies. while Mayor "JimR insists
the pot had simmered down to only
SIS, 900 by the time it reached him.
Mayor Jim" says the money was
sent out to help elect as governor the
fusion candidate, Berge, who was.
threatening the railroads and orpora-
lions generally with all kinds OF ven
geance, If not determination. 1t must
have taken a hypnotist to get Ryan
and his Wall street associates to put
up money to help a mar put nails in
their own coffin.
Mayor "Jim" further says the
money was all spent for state purposes,
but he filed no account Of his expendi-
lures, as the state law requires, and
justifes his defiance of the state law
On the ground that he was spending
national campaign funds as national
committeeman.
Mr.. Bryan has been advocating pub
licity of campaign contributions, while
the distribution of a $4,000 pot of
Parker Doodle in his own state was
kept dark up to this m II
Mayor Jim" knows what he did with
the money it is o yet too late to
make it all public, but it is too late to
make it square with the financial
statements sworn to at the time by the
various treasurers of the democratic
committees.
BY the way, whose money paid for
those special trains with which Mr..
Bryan made his taIl-end rear-platform
campaign through Nebraska that year?
We do not recollect seeing that item
in n of the published statements.

TIE DEMAND FOR LABOR.

1hE DhMAND run LABOhB
The problem of what to do with
the unemployed, a question that Gre
ated a concern a few months age,
while not yet completely solved, has
been somewhat relieved by a growing
demand for more workmen. For the
Kansas wheat harvest, which viii open
about June Is. the state employ
ment agent has issued a call for
$4,000 men, promising wages running
from $3.50 TO 81 a day, The call ex-
plains that the harvest work will be
continued for several mouths, as the
men, rs soon as the Kansas crop is
out of the way, will be wanted in Ne
braska, the Dakotas. Minnesota and
Canada. Crop prospects are most ia
vOrable and from now until the corn
is gathered in October and November,
there should be abundant work for all
who may apply.
Industrial reports at the same time
show that the mills and factories of
the east are resuming work and the
unemployed in the large cities are
dwindling to corporai's guard proper
lions, AS another factor in the labor
market. the Bureau OF Immigration at

I saw her leave the house n day
Dressed In the latest style;
And as / passed she looked my way
And a W me such a smilel
All! she was fair as any queen,
My head was in a whirl;
Was she the rich mans daughter,
Dr. just the hired girl?
Another time upon the street
We CHANGED to meet, and she
Gave of her glances, oh, so sweet,
A goodly share to me.
And all that day my mind would turn
Back to that lovely pearl;
Was she the rich mans daughter,
Or inst h hired girl2
why should I care, II she be fair
To look upon inc true;
Should I not pay my court to her,
As all true lovers do2
What should II matter unto me,
Unless l be a churl,
II she's the rich mans daughter,
Or just the hired girl.
For weeks has this been going on,
I've dared not to make known
That l would gladly be her John
II she would be my Joan.
And yet ] hesitate to speak;
In scorn her lips may curl;
Is she the rich nan daughter.
Or just the hired girl?

1.-THE first thing visitors from the west
call for when they come here is lobster"
said Mr.. Fred Sterry, Of the Piazza, quoted
by the New York Herald. Next they want
salt water fish. 1t Is generally dangerous
to eat sea food in the middle west unless
one is sure it is fresh, and so the residents
of that section must come to New York
for II.
"A summer dish, suitable for those o
of fish, is made by Emile Bailly, chef of
the st. Regis, and formerly of the Ritz In
Paris. 1t is called Filet de Kingfish, Co.
ralie. The preparation seems quite elab-
crate to the uninitiated. but is doubt
less easy enough to a chef with a reputa-
ton to maintain. Two kingfish, weighing
one pound each, are selected. F1lets are
cut from this and all bones removed. The
bones with the waste pieces are put in n
casserole, with one goblet of white wine
and one of water. When this has come to
a boil, skim carefully and add half a
chopped carrot, half an onion, six chopped
mushrooms, two sprigs of parsley, two of
chenril, a spray of thyme, a small bay leaf
and six grains of whole white pepper. Cook
twenty minutes. Separately cook the fish
with four sliced tomatoes, excluding the
seeds. Strain the bone gravy, thicken with
flour and add lemon juice; pour over the
fish piping hot"

There have been so many suspicious fires
in Greater New York lately that, despite
extraordinary precautions. the fire depart
ment and underwriters are at their wits
end to cope with the mysterious force that
set them. About one-fourth of the fires,
says the fire marshal, have all the ear
marks OF the firebug. While 1t is the
opinion Of the experts that much OF tho
present incendiarism is the work of pyro-
maniacs, or men who are weak-minded,
the desire for gain is often the motive. In

of ten square blocks, not a night passed in
a recent four-week period without a fire,

"It is perhaps premature to speculate
upon the total cost Of the Clark mansion
when completed" says the Times, but It
has been conservatively estimated that
when Senator Clark opens his palace to
his friends the Investment will represent a
sum exceeding S1O.oOO,oOO. which will make
II without doubt the most costly, and, per-
haps, the most beautiful, private residence
in America. In order to carry out his plans
and reduce the building of this house to a
businesslike proposition, Senator Clark
eight years ago organized a realty COM
pany, and made his house an Incorporated
concern. On Long Island he built a COM
plete woodworking and marble cutting es-
adjustment at a cost OF $500 This es-
ta~blishment has been in operation con-
tinually for eight years, and It is probable
that 1t will require two more years before
the work is completed in an its details.
Senator Clark's expenditures have run as
high as $1,000 a day for months at a time,
and there has seldom been a week when
there have been less than 200 skilled labor
ers at work upon the various details of the
structure. In order to continue the work
~unhampered, Senator Clark purchased out
right a large granite quarry in Maine, and
another in Maryland. The vast quantities

mines in Montana and brought on to his

words: IF what 1 write you is not true,
