Won1serfuf Builders.

A personal inspection of tho pyra nids made by an English quarry own sr led him to the conclusion that the old Egyptians were better builders than those of the present day. He found blocks of stone In the pyramids weighing three or four times as much as the obelisks on the banks of the Nile. He saw stone the estimated: weight of which was 800 tons. Many of the stones were found to be thlrt, feet in length and fitted so closely to gether that tho blade of penknifa could be run over the surface without discovering the break between them There is no machinery, he claims, SC parfect that 1t will make two surfaces thirty feet in length which will mee. together In unison as the stones in the pyramids meet.

WANT MCARTHY
TO MAKE RAGE
His Friends Trying to Get Him
to Accept Regular Nomi-
nation for Mayor.

JERSEY CITY. June 16.-Friends Of
James w. Mccarthy are not satisfied
with the outcome of the New Idea
meeting last week, at which Mark NJ.
Pagan was made the choice of that
faction for the Mayoralty nomination.
They say that If it had not been for
the exhibition of bossism displayed by
George L. Record Mccarthy, and not
Pagan, would have been named, as a
majority of the members regarded the
second assistant prosecutor as the most
available Candidate. McCarthy's sup
porters are saying that Record is a
bigger political boss than either John
Rotterdam or Colonel Dickinson, and
that he cares nothing for the sentiment
of the voters.
A movement is on foot to have Nc
earthly run as the candidate Of the
Regulars. The program is to have him
Endorsed by the Seventh Ward New
Idea Club, Of which he is the president,
and then to have the Regulars take
him up.
County Clerk John Rotterdam, the
organization leader. said yesterday that
Mccarthy was good enough for him.
