I ICQ'S Hear Street Speech on "Altruism of Tammany"-Clnbman Sells

, "Extras" on u Corner.

The men who bet on Mayor Low in the municipal election in New York jhave recently been doing their turns for the entertainment of the crowds along Broadway. The first performance took place the other night in Madison square about 9 o'clock, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. A young man wearing" duck trousers, frock coat and a silk hat and smoking a i .garette was pushed around the Streets in a wheelbarrow by a man disguised as Uncle Sam. Behind them a corps of losers marched to the tooting of a cornet, each with an "I Told Ton So" placard on his back. After drcl'ng the square they marched up Brca'Iway to Forty-second street; then tuvr edand returned to Madison square, T/J'.ii a large crowd r Mowing.

At the corner of i-^i-ty-fourth street and Fifth avenue a well known member of the Harvard club gathered a crowd of curious bystanders around him and discoursed on the delights of co-education and the altruism of Tammany. Several listeners became considerably interested. When the diners from Sherry's and Delmonico's began to file out and join the circle, the crowd became a bit suspicious, but did not cease attention. At exactly 11 o'clock the speaker stopped in the midst of "I believe witli Tammany; we should •egregate the sexes," and started madly through the crowd for a Broadway car. The audience faded away sheepishly.

Under an elevated station at Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue a well dressed man, who is not unknown in the clubs, appeared about midnight with a bunch of papers under his arm. With no apparent hesitancy he began to shout: "Here you are! Evening Tiger! All about the election!" Scarcely a passerby escap< d him. In spite of the fact that the raper had a large flaring portrait of McClellan and was dated Nov. 3, several persons purchased them, and the vender pocketed the pennies without scruple. At 12:30 the man was still shouting: ' Evening Tiger! All about the election!"

On Madison avenue a man suddenly appeared about 10 o'clock on stilts and started stalking down the street with a red lantern in one hand. A crowd of men and boys soon gathered and cheered him along. Several men in evening dress followed at a safe distance and now and then stopped and laughed heartily. The man walked as fast as he could, and when the crowd got too obstructive he stopped and leaned against a post and wiped his brow. There was a great deal of laughter and many derisive shouts from the onlookers, but every one seemed to understand the circumstances.

When the party in evening dress came up. one of them pointed his stick at the perspiring gentleman and said. "Now, Toddy, your speech."

The man raised his lantern at attention and began very soberly:

"Ladies, I'm Demosthenes II. looking for an honest man. Those gentlemen there refuse to"— Then he burst out with a laugh, jumped off his stilts and ran over toward the group. "That's enough for once," he said.

The men clapped him on the back, and the crowd drifted away.

When asked the cause of the demonstration. one of the men said. "Why, Toddy bet Devery wouldn't get a vote In the Twenty-fil'th."

A Garland Celt In Earopu. The-Harpers b;tve just been request

ed to send "Hesper" and other novels by Hamlin Garland to a well known Italian reviewer, which indicates further foreign interest in an American author already much honored abroad. In Paris there is a Garland cult headed by Mine. Foil Ion de Vaul'x. the wife of a French banker, who has translated into French Mr. Garland's "A Member of the Third House" and portions of "Main Traveled Roads." The last volume has already been done Into German, where Sudermann, who has expressed a keen interest in Mr. Garland's work, has promised to write an introduction for it. It seems that between the opening of Sudermann's "Frau Sorga" and Garland's "Main Traveled Roads" there is a close resemblance. "The Captain of the Gray Horse Troop," his last novel preceding "Hesper," is now being put into German, while "The Little Norsk," "Jason Edwards" and "Prairie Folks" have already been translated into Norwegian.

Gray as m Presidential Possibility. • Judge Peter S. Grosseup of Chicago

Hrhile visiting Pittsburg recently dis-fcussed the national political situation.

"Roosevelt is the natural candidate," said the judge. "Only a complete demoralization of industrial conditions could sidetrack him. Hanna could not land even if he wanted to. Still, if Mc-Kinley had lived Hanna probably w^uld be the candidate. He is a great •power. Judge George Gray of Delaware, in my opinion, will be the Democratic candidate. He Is an able man and has the sympathy of the working-men owing to his holding the chairmanship of the anthracite strike commission. What Democracy wants is a, middle aged man who was born politically since 1896. Gray is such a man, ibut I am afraid a Democratic victory |(l a forlorn hope." ;

A GIGANTIC MONUMENT

Remarkable Design of a Proposed Structure.

TO EXCEED ALL OTHERS IN HEIGHT

Professor Despradelle of Massachu

setts Institute of Technology Plans

Splendid Sliaft to tlife "Glory of tlie

American People"—Height of Mon

ument 1,500 Feet—Washington Sub-tested as the Most Natural Site.

The greatest monument the human mind has conceived and reduced to an architectural possibility since the tower of Babel exists in the carefully worked out plans of Professor Desire Despradelle, chief of the architectural design department of the Massachusetts Ir^tSiute of Technology, for a spleivlic1. visible symbol to be erected "to tf.e glory of the American people." At present this remarkable design remains the practical expression of an architect's dream, "epitomizing," to quote the designer's own statement of its ultimate purpose, "the vastness of American civil; .. on." But despite its enormous cost. ..ch would reach well Into the mil lit i*. . ie idea of putting it into permanei; 1 and stone already has many entu .. . stic supporters.

The height .he proposed monument is 1,500 feet, nearly three times that of the great pyramids of Egypt and only a little less than twice that of the famous Eiffel tower. The main shaft combines the heavy simplicity of the ancient obelisk with a living lightness and springiness of effect, typifying by the skillful arrangement of its gradually ascending base and the grouping about it of a number of uplifted pinnacles an "upward striving toward an inaccessible ideal." The base, which measures 225 feet square ; t the bottom of the central shaft, is % round with our cherished national s./Ji.bols, while on every side the splendid tructure bears names of our greatest men, figures typifying our resources and accomplishments, the eagle and various other insignia, ail combined in remarkable appropriateness.

Planning such a monument is no mere matter of making an imaginative picture, and a few details of the construction may perhaps help the mind in considering this gigantic creation as a structural possibility. The volume of the main central shaft, which is over a quarter of a mile in height, is nearly 2G,000,000 cubic feet, and, considering the weight of good building stone to be ISO pounds to the cubic foot, there would be a pressure of forty-six tons to every square foot of earth beneath the finished shaft. To build it solid would therefore make it at once too heavy and too expensive; on the other hand, the wind pressure upon its enormous length would aggregate during winter gales hundreds of tons, so that to erect it of steel framing with a mere sheathing of stone, like a modern office building, would render it liable to be broken off or blown over bodily. It was necessary, therefore, to make another adjustment of differences, and the final plan shows a construction partly hollowed in galleries, for the sake of lightness, and comprising both steel and concrete in massive combination, with heavy stonework on the exterior. The result is a structure which, according to all architectural experience, would stand firmly, and the galleries, it has been further suggested, offer an opportunity for housing and displaying important national relics.

The site of the monument would naturally be at Washington. It has been estimated that the cost would amount to between $12,000,000 and $15,000,000, or about the price of three or four battle ships, and its advocates have declared that it would be well worth the money, not only for its own beauty, but as an impressive exhibition of our wealth and power in the eyes of other and perhaps some time hostile nation.

What Radium Could Do. M. Curie, one. of the discoverers of

radium, who was interviewed on the new mineral's power by Cleveland Moffet. feays in McClure's Magazine for November:

"I have no doubt that a kilogram of radium would be sufficient to destroy the population of Paris, granting that they came within its influence. They would feel nothing during their exposure to the radium nor realize that they were in danger. And weeks would pass after their exposure before anything would happen. Then gradually the skin would begin to peel off, and their bodies would become one great sore. Then they would beeome blind. Then they would die from paralysis and congestion of the spinal cord."

A Sladstone That W or Iced. The Bundy madstone recently com

pleted its longest record in clinging to a wound caused by a dog bite, says a Newcastle (Ind.) dispatch to the Indianapolis News. The patient was Miss Stella Huffman of Tiffin, O., and the stone clung to her for 755 hours. Miss Huffman was bitten by a dog two years ago, and the poison had so affected her system that when she went to Newcastle she had lost the use of one eye. However, the stone drew the poison out to such an extent that she regained her sight and, although weak from the night and day treatment, will return home in a few days In better health than she has enjoyed for years. The stone worked wonders in this case, and physicians are puzzled.

DETERIORATION OF COAL.

Claim Made That Fuel Kept In Free Air Loses Much of Its Steaxn-

iac Power.

The question of storing coal for fleets has assumed such importance that the experiments made in England to overcome the deterioration due to continual stowage possess a definite Interest, says the New York Herald. It is claimed that coal kept in free air quickly loses between 10 and 20 per cent, of its steaming power, while coal deposited under water in prepared basins suffers but little loss. In the experiments undertaken at the suggestion of the admiralty coal that had been submerged from three to ten years at the Alexandra docks, Newport, and other specimens that had drifted from wrecks Into the River Usk were submitted to a comparative test with the best fresh mined Monmouthshire coal. The result waa that the Usk coal stood first and the Alexandra dock second, both by a surprising margin of superiority.

Our experience in the Philippines, where the conditions are especially severe, does not show the asserted deterioration of 10 per cent, in 12 months, but there is such a sensible loss in efficiency that the new idea seems worth a careful examination. Submerged storage ia cheap, and the coal, easily recovered when needed, can be dried so speedily by exposure to the sun that the danger of spontaneous combustion in the bunkers is obviated. Coal is a prime essential of war power, and we must rather extend than diminish our efforts to store it. /

St. Cleorge's Chapel.

It costs the British government $18y-660 a year to k«ep up daily services in St. George's chap&l, London, although they are attended by very few people. All of this money goes to pay several priests and a trained choir. According to an ancient custom the choir boys are entitled to collect a guinea from every soldier or other person who enters St. George's chapel with spurs upon his boots. Nobody knows when this CUB* torn originated, but it has been revived with a great deal of energy this last two years, because so many of the officers from the army in South Africa came to Windsor, and almost invariably entered the beautiful church, whii±h is the headquarters of the Knights ot the Order of St. George, the patron saiiht of England.—London Letter.

Feed Cows Twice a Day. Being fed twice a day the cows ard

more contented than if fed often er in little dabs several times a day, it not only makes more work, but keeps the cows on the constant lookout for something to eat And I, for one, do not care to have them bawling at me every time I pass before them. It seems that the way of feeding cows that I have mentioned, is the most natural. Cows in pasture will eat until they are satisfied, then lie down and thoroughly masticate the food they have eaten. It is then they do their best They do not generally fill up more than twice a day, therefore, in winter we feed bountifully the same number of times. —D. W. Howie, Jr., in Farmers' Re-view. .
