Necessity of Tips Abroad.

They should be victorious, like the young

go to honest, underpaid. Woodworking
people. 1t is not their fault that they
have to live on tips. 1t is partly the fault
of the system Of caste which keeps them
servile and dependent So when hotel
bill is paid, one should take D per cent of
the sum-no more and no less-and give
1t to the help.
The ordinary middle class hotel pen
sion where the rates run from 81 40 to
s.. 40 a day, will have four or five persons
who should be tipped: The head waiter.
norter and the concierge, or general fac
fotum at the door, who tells you what
car mr. bus to take, who knows all about
the town and whose friendship and good
will are pearls of great price. European
newspapers are filled with advertisements
of men and women out of work who can

of Europe is the hundreds of thousands

from which caste and class lines bar
them.
And If these poor people have to beg

to--heaven knows no one should visit his
wrath at the system upon the victims Of
the system.

Earliest Glass Making.
From the lIousekeepel

The manufacture of glass dates from
the earliest times. and no doubt originated
with the Egyptians, as the oldest known
specimens are those found in the tombs
of Egypt, and the earliest mention of it.
dating back to $500 B. c.. has been found
in inscriptions of that country. After the
Egyptians, the ancient people most re-
nowned for glass making We're the Phoe-
nicians. and the legend of that people
concerning the discovery of the art has
been often told. Certain Phoenician trad
ers. 1t is said, returning to their home
In ship laden with natron or soda and
being compelled to land on a sandy tract
on the Syrian coast, in building 4 fire on
the sand to prepare their supper placed
their cooking pots on Jumps of soda. The
sand and the soda were both melted by
the heat Of the fire, and flowing together
formed a substance new to the sailors.
but recognized by them as of probable
value. Thus. says the tradition. was the
manufacture of glass discovered. But, as
the heat of driftwood fire would hardly
fuse sand, 1t has been said that this story
only proves that the art of glass making
was very ancient.

cob Worth for the senate, but was-beaten
He was returned to the assembly In 1879,
and in the following year realized his sen.
atorial ambition. With the-exception OF
the years 1894 and 1895. he had been con-
tinually in the senate. Then he was de-
feated by George A. Owens, put up as a
joke. the opposition not caring to name. a
candidate.
McCarren Takes Command.
His opportunity for leadership came in
1903 In that year George B. Mcclellan
was nominated for mayor. and with Nc
Clellan in office McCarren was welcome
visitor at the city hall.
In 1904 came the beginning of as bitter
a struggle as New York perhaps ever
Murphy's attempt to overthrow Nc
Carren's leadership. The break came when
McCarren. without consultation with Muir
ply declared himself in favor of Judge
Parker for President. Murphy was for
the late Arthur Pue German of Maryland.
This was another evidence of McCar-
ren's courage. 1t was like the courage he
displayed in former years at a meeting of
the democratic state committee, when
David h. Hill was the master of the
state. Hill made a statement in the COM
mittee, and McCarren promptly called
him a liar.
ply and McCarren that at the state con-
vention that year in Saratoga, when
Judge Herrick was nominated. Murphy re-
fused to accompany Senator McCarren in
escorting Judge Herrick to the platform.
McCarren Defeats Hearst.
The leader of Tammany never over
looked a chance to deal McCarren a
blow. He had McCarren's deputy COM
missioners in the departments removed
until he himself broke with the mayor.
The breach widened, If possible. when
Murphy forced Hearst's nomination at
the state convention of 1906.
McCarren was savagely against Hearst.
In the campaign McCarren worked SO
subtly that many persons attributed
the remarkable democratic detection in
Brooklyn.
Perhaps the bitterest of all the fights
between the two leaders came in 1907.
when MurIhiys power was sufficient to
have the McCarren delegates excluded
from the state convention. 1t was about
this time that McCarren referred to Muir
ply and State Chairman Conners as fat
head politicians.
and his men were kept out of the demo-
cratic national convention at Denver in
1908. McCarren was never the friend of
Bryan and never the friend of Hearst
He only took up with GaynOr because he
believed that GaynOr, with all his radi-
cal utteranceS, would be bounded by the
law.
McCarren was genuinely liked by most
of the men who fought him. They be
lieved he was a bad influence in. public.
affairs, but they fancied the long sena-
tor as a friend. McCarren grimly recog-
nized the opposition as would-be Office
holders.

NOT MUCH MONEY IN POLITICS
AND MIGHTY LITTLE TO BE
SAVED, SAYS MR.. TAFT.
President Has Ready Answer for
Texan Who Interrupted Speech
Favoring Postal Banks.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HOUSTON, Tex, October 23.-"When
you have been in politics as long as
have been you will understand there is
mighty little money to be saved said
President Taft in a speech at Beeville.
Tex, last night. The President was talk
ing about the proposed postal savings
bank system. and that was his answer to a
man in the crowd. who had shouted
Where are you putting your money.
Bill?"
II am In favor of the postal savings
bank" said the President. II am in
favor of it because think people in many
remote parts of the country are denied
the opportunity to put their money where
they can be confident that it will be safe.
l believe there are a good many small
banks in the country that think 1t is go
ing to interfere with them. I do not
think so at all. The postal savings bank
will provide for an interest OF PEI cent a
year. Now that is small. and if there is
bank in the peighborhood that has any
business at all it can afford to pay 3
and 4 per cent. But the people ought to
be given an opportunity, especially
those who have not the opportunity to
Judge of the RELIABILITY of private banks: to
put their money where they. know it will
be safe. This is certain to encourage
thrift. I haven't the slightest doubt that
in many remote parts of the country a
good deal of money is spent or buried
simply because the people who have it are
afraid to put 1T In private banks or
haven't the opportunity to do So"
Couldn't Beat the Band.
The presidential train arrived in Hous-
ton at o'clock this morning. The local
committee had planned to start the ball
rolling at that hour, but Mr.. Taft has

shows. Several times in the course Of his
trip he has been routed out at & o'clock
in the morning, and it hasn't been unu-
sual for him to get a o'clock start. He
has served notice on Capt. Butt. his mill
tary secretary. however, that there will
be nothing doing In the future until after
O'clock in the morning. If the PTeSi-
dent expects. though, that he will be able
to get any rest in the time that he wrests
from the local committecs lie will be
greatly mistaken Houston afforded a
fair sample Of what will happen at every
stop. When the local committee learned
that they couldn't get to the President
until $50 o'clock they decided THAT he
ought to be entertained by the local band
at any rate. and they set it going just
outside his car. 1t played for about an
hour.
MI Taft spent only three hours in
Houston. He was escorted to the Rio
Hotel where he reviewed the school chill
dren of the city, listened to a military sa-
Lutte and delivered a brief speech. This
was followed by a motor ride about the
city.
The President left here for Dallas, where
he will spend the night. After his Dallas
stop he will strike out on a run of
twenty-four hours for St Louis With
the Texas engagements behind him the
President will feel that his long trip
really is nearing an end, although there
is still more than two weeks Of it before
him.

Certain other woods, mentioned above. are used

Willow wood charcoal is. then, the very best

means Of esfecting this is TO compress them into

FO|LS CONVICT DYNAMITE PLOT
LIFE PRISONER AT DANNEMORA
REVEALS CONSPIRACY.
Cells to Have Been Unlocked and
Walls Blown Down-Explosive
and Pistols Taken Away.

ALBANY, October 23.-As bold a plan
as ever was matched by convicts to break
through the wall of a prison to liberty
has been revealed to the authorities at
Dannemora state prison. The north wall
of the prison was to have been dynamited
last night and wholesale delivery eff
fected.
The plot, engineered by a couple of
cracksnen and two life men In for MUIR
der. was disclosed to the prison officials
early yesterday morning by life man
with clean prison record. He gave the
names Of the ring leaders. who are the
most desperate criminals in the institu-
finement.
Find Dynamite and Pistol.
Ono of them. Marquis Curtiss. burglar
sent up from Brooklyn. was hauled out of
the line at the early morning exercises
in the prison yard and searched. The
guard ripped open the mans coat and
took out a loaded revolver and two sticks
of dynamite.
The weapon was identified as belonging
to Guard w. D. WiIlets.s which disap-
peared last election day. The dynamite
evidently was taken from a lot used ny
convicts employed on a prison road sew
eral months ago.
The outbreak. the prison authorities are
convinced, was to have been managed by
men more desperate than Curtiss. The
preliminary operations had been going on
for nearly a year. The signal for q pre-
concerted attempt to escape was to have
teen given shortly after midnight last
right.
Plan to Escape.
rhe suspected ringleader, who is a life
AN. was to have broken through the
E.:wed bars Of his cell and held up the
ss.ard at tiD point of the revolver. The
gard was then to have been forced
ritder threat of death If he refused, to
oeien the door Of cell imprisoning an
okI,er one Of the plotters.
THE two were then to overpower the
gf,ard and bind and gag him. Escape was
sf:en TO be easy. Cell doors were to be
unlocked and a grand rush made for the
bathroom.
4 key to this door, the prison authori-
ties learned had been made and was to
have been used in tho outbreak. Once
snside the bathroom. escape. as the con
victs figured, would be but q matter of a
few moments. as the two dynamite sticks
in their possession were to have been
placed against the bathroom wall and
lighted
To Have Bolted Through Breach.
Following the crash. the men were to
have bolted through the opening in the
wall and into the surrounding country
under cover Of night.
The bathroom wall is not as thick as
.she main prison wall. and this fact wal
an essential feature of the scheme 1,
would take more than one charge Of dy.
mantle to blow q hole through the mair
wall.
The men suspected of being implicated
include Edward Kelly. a Monroe county
murderer, who is serving a life sen
rence; John Murphy, alias Canada
Blacl<ie," who is serving a life sentence
for a murder committed In Schoharit
county. and Henry Miller. safe blower
sentenced from New York.
