CHAPTER Viii.

A Quiet Meeting Of the Dictators.
=. Early in the new year, at the in
stance of Haldane, a meeting of the
inner circle Of the governing body,
popularity known as THE Ring" was
called at his private residence on up
per Fifth avenue, which he very un-
obtrusively reoccupied for the occa-
sion. The meeting was held late at
night The men summoned thereto
came up town quietly and unostenta-
tiously slipped into the house.
For many reasons Haldane's rela.
ton to the Sachem society was care
fully concealed. He represented a
distinct group Of fnanciers and bust
ness interests whose relations with
the party in power were most init
mate These relations in some in
stances were suspected, but their &C.
tuality had not been allowed to trans
pre- Haldane kept in constant touch
with I1iffey the boss; but no one, save
the inner circle, suspected that the
two were hand in glove together.
Haldane did not often meet with
anyone but Liffey. In this instance,
however, he at least appreciated the
gravity Of the situation, and had d.
rected Liffey to bring with him those
whose advice would naturally be
sought on such subjects as he desired
ito DISCUSS. He had also assembled two
OF tie directors Of the Gotham Freight

Traction company, to wit, Van Slyke
and Mcdonald. men associated with
him upon whose judgment and ability
he could rely. In addition to them
came Liffey, grand chief Of the Sa-
chem society and the acknowledged
and undisputed boss of the party;
Cornell, the chief of police; Ruther-
ford, the district attorney; Habber-
ley, the street commissioner; and last
and also least, Hon. Peter D. Warren,
mayor Of the city.
Liffey, as leader of the Great
Sachem society, controlled the or
ganization absolutely. The chief of
police welded the vast powers for
graft Of that remarkable organization.
The district attorney, through whose
hands all criminal prosecutions must
pass, was the safety valve of both
the Sachem society and that portion of
the people to which it looked for sup
port. The street commissioner, who
had at his disposal more appointments
than all the rest of the administration
put together, used them primarily for
the good Of the party and after that
for cleaning the streets.
The mayor, the ostensible head but
really the servant Of the quartet, was
there because Of his Office, and he was
in Office because he could be con-
trolled. From the point of view of
the men present, he was the best
mayor that New York had ever
had. He was man Of some parts

been a saloonkeeper and finally the
colonel Of q National Guard regiment.
Mcdonald was q Scotsman whose
shrewdness and ability had won him
high position among the financial
magnates. Van Slyke belonged to an
old Dutch family and had inherited
a vast fortune, which his adroit man
agement had tremendously Increased.
They represented American life with
its opportunities and its possibilities.
Gentlemen" began Haldane quietly.
II have called you here. as you have
doubtless surmised, because of the
announcement Of the candidacy Of
George Gormly for mayor"

portance, Mr.. Haldane. for such an
unusual conference as this is?'' asked
the boss.

and great distinction of manner and

"But it Is the first time in my
recollection" returned Haldane, that
man possessing the peculiar COM
bination of business ability, unques-
toned integrity, and unlimited money
has put himself forward, and beg to
assure you that consider him the
most available man from the point of
view Of the opposition that has ever
appeared on the political horizon"

"Oh. don't know. Pretty good men
have found 1t to their interests to tie
up with me. and they haven't lost any
thing by 1t. Have you. Mr.. Haldane?"
Haldane locked his teeth. It was
this sort Of covert insult which was
the necessary concomitant OF his
alliance which. In his secret heart. he
loathed. Again it was the district at
torney who interposed.

evident that we cannot afford to have

to be done now Is to get together,
keep together, and beat Gormly."
"You think he's got a. chance, do
you?"
More than a chance"
'But we control everything"
Everything but Gormly, apparent
ly," answered Van Slyke.
"Yes," said Rutherford, disregarding
the last remark; but you know, Lii.

Indifference OF the people. If they get

He snapped his finger as he spoke,
and no man contradicted him, for true
it is that on the Indifference of the
many is founded the power Of the
one.

said the chief of police uncertainty.
Undoubtedly; but If there are
enough people interested in the affair,
the votes will be counted as cast"

are limits beyond which even our own

the best thing to do, If you gents are
all agreed that it's serious, is to pitch

the post Offices Of each particular class. As .
starter Uncle Sam is going to erect and
equip what may be designated as q model post
ONCE and which will be used as a pattern for
all the post Offices to be provided henceforth
throughout the country. This model post Office
will be located at the national capital and it is
designed to be a model not only in its mail
handling equipment, but also In the furniture
the arrangement of the various rooms and even
in the architecture Of the building itself and the
selection Of a site 20 located with reference to
the railroad terminals that it will facilitate the
handling Of the incoming and outgoing mails
This last is a point to which the average citizen
seldom gives a thought and yet 1t means that
II his post Office is located too far from the rail-
road stations through which the mails are dis
patched there will be an unnecessary frightening
Of the time required to convey letter between
any two points.
So anxious has been the postmaster general to
have the scheme for better post Offices worked
out just right that he some time ago appointed
special committee composed Of men high in the
postal service to prepare the plans for model
post Office. This body Of experts has been busy
for months past perfecting every detail. The
committee includes the first assistant postmaster
general, the superintendent of mails at Chicago
(Which city already has a pretty, well-equipped
post offce), the superintendent of delivery at
New York, representative Of the architects, the
postmaster at Washington, D. c., and the assist
ant superintendent in charge Of the handling Of
the foreign mails going out from the port Of
New York. One another of these men is
competent to give advice as an authority on
every important operation connected with the
handling Of mail at post Office.

SHORT DISSERTATION ON MUD
Evidently the Work Of One Who Was
Thoroughly Familiar With the
the Subject.

Mud is found at the bottom of lakes,
on roads and in political assemblies
and newspapers. 1t is also used to
battle in and to make pies of.
It Is composed OF the same materials
that human beings are made of, via,
dust and water.
Mud is at Its best in the spring Of
the year. At this period it is largely
used by automobiles. It is good for
rheumatism and turtles. In Pittsburg
and st. Louis it is taken with meals.
Mud is counter-irritant for armies.
Hannibal encountered it and Napoleon
was delayed by it. It has often been
mixed with the best thoughts.
The earth has been trying to get
rid of its mud ever since it began, but
1t still sticks, in spite of countless
revolutions. Beside, ii it fell OF there
would be no place for it elsewhere,
Some men have been named after it.
Mud Is used by plebeian clans, who
live In flats. It is also used by rivers
to make deltas Of. A respectable delta
can be made by any Woodworking
river In about 1000 years. working
night and day.
Mud is a great traveller. New Jen
sey mud can be seen sauntering I'd
and down Broadway. .*
When dust gets uneasy and wishes
to be made into mud it prays for rain.
Then it lies in the sun and becomes
dust again. This gives it that variety
which. as We all know. is the spice
of life. sss
Mud is no respecter of persons

The distinctive feature of the model post Office
which most conspcuously will mark its super
ior1ty to even the best of the old-time Offices will
be found in the extensive employment Of mschan-
1ca1 and automatic carriers and conveyors Of
different types for moving the letters and parcels
from point to point in their transit through the
post Office. Indeed so complete will be this force
Of mechanical workers that It will be scarce
necessary for human hand to touch letter
from the minute It is posted in the letter drop
at the post office until it is safely on it's way
IN leather pouch to some distant city or coun-
try. And the word safely is used advisedly too
for one Of the betterments that has been attained
In the scheme Of this twentieth century post
office Is the throwing out Of safeguards for the
mail In transt-safeguards designed not merely
to protect the letters from the operations of dis
honest employees but also to guard against loss
OF even the smallest pieces Of mail through care
lessness or haste in handling.
The mail conveyors and distributors which are
to reach the acme OF perfection in the new post
Office have been developed rapidly during the
past few years In general way these devices
resemble In principle the cash carriers or over
head trolleys which have become so familiar in
many stores. But instead Of converging at
common point these postal trolleys traverse
regular routes just do electric street cars and
convey mail from any point in the post Office
to any other point Supplementing these over
head carriers are belt conveyors, operating on
the principle Of moving sidewalk or endless
chain and which when they are IN operation are
busy all the while moving forward either single
letters or bundles Of missives Some of this
apparatus Is of the kind that "almost thinks"
