CROKER-HILL EPISODE.
Tammany Chieftain Throws the
Ex-Governor of New York Hard
Fall in Committee rieeting.
The New York state delegations fur
nished the sensation of the day
ing the opening of the Democratic
convention when, after a stormy ses
sion of three hours, they put forth a
candidate for vice-president, in the
person of John W. Keller, commis
sioner of charities of the citv of New
York.
This was done after David B. Hill
had been defeated as a candidate for
the New York representation on the
committee on platform by Augustas
Van Wyck, and having been offered
New York’s indorsement for vice
president, had declined it.
It w r as 2 o’clock in the afternoon
when ex-Senator Hill was notified
that there was a movement on foot in
the Tammany delegation, assisted by
King county and Erie, to sidetrack
him by not putting him on the plat
form committee, but by standing for
him for vice-president.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Hill was
sent for, and had a long conference
with Mr. Croker, Mr. Shea, ex-Senator
Murphy and Mr. McCarren. He was
notified that the delegation stood
ready to stand f >r him for vice presi
dent. He replied that he did not
want it, and was then told flatly that
he could not go on the committee on
platform, Mr. Croker intimating that
the Bryan element did want him there.
Some sharp discussion followed. All
through the controversy the ex-gover
nor sat quietly. Then he arose, and
facing Richard Croker, who sat in the
rear of the room, said slowly and dis
tinctly:
“There have been said some things
that have seemed to be reflections
upon ray attitude in 1896. It should
be remembered in passing such criti
cisms that I have always been consist
ently Democratic. No man has a right
to question my Democracy.”
At this time Mr. Croker rose, saying
in what was evidently intended to be
a pacific tone, “I don’t think anybody
intended to criticise your Democracy,
but it is believed that as you were so
strongly against the silver plank, a
new man would be more acceptable,”
and then Mr. Croker aroused Mr. Hill
by adding: “And there is no reason
why you should think that the position
is reserved for you every year.”
No, I have no such idea, answer
ed Hill, shaking his linger at Croker,
but 1 want you to remember that;
what I did and what I saidl in the
mittee and in the convention of 1896 ;
- was done for the Democrats of New
York state, and when I went home I
stood for the ticket as well as you did.”
“Oh, no, you did not,” exclaimed
Mr. Croker. “You were not heard of
much during that campaign.”
“Equally as much og you were, when
at. critical times in the party’s history
in the]state,you were living in Europe,”
retorted Mr. Hill.
“You are sore,” replied Croker.
“I accuse you,” exclaimed Hill, “of
trying to make me a vice presidential j
candidate against my will. I tell you
now that I will not have it. Yon can’t (
humiliate me on one proposition and
feed me a sop on another. ”
He sat down and a vote was then
taken, resulting: For Van Wyck, 40;
for Hill, 2G; absent or not voting, 6.
Senator Hill, upon the announcement
of the vote, immediately left the room.
PLATFORM PLEASES BRYAN.
Nominee Says Kuril Blank of the Docu
ment Is Clear and Kxplicit.
Mr. Bryau gave out at Lincoln,
Thursday night, the follow ing on the
Kansas City platform:
“lam very gratified to learn of the
adoption of a platform which is clear
and explicit on every question. Tho
controversy over the silver plank was
not a controversy between men who
differed iu principle, but rather a dif
ference of opinion as to the best
method of stating the question. Our
appeal is to the patriotism an( j con
science of the \ eon’.e, an d we must
take them into t cur confidence if we
expect the»^ to have confidence in us,”

How the Earth Grow*.
The earth is growing heavier at tho
average rate of 500 tons a year. The
meteors, or shooting stars, in passing
through the earth's atmosphere, are
burned up and fall on to the earth’s
surface, occasionally in a heavy mnss,
but most usually in small meteoric,
dust.
Professor Nordenskjold, from his
great experience, estimated that, from
the cause named, 500 tons fall untfonn
lly and steadily over the whole globe
In each year, and the observations of
Russian scientists yield a similar re
sult.
These meteoric streams, says another
astronomer, are really small planetary
bodies, revolving around the sun in
fixed orbits by the force of gravity.
The earth revolves on its axis at the
rate of 1,000 miles an hour, and speeds
through space in its orbit around the
sun at the rate of 1,000 miles every
minute, nnd in August and November
plunges into the orbit of these small
planets, and the very opposite direc
tion.
The rapidity with which they enter
our atmosphere and the friction thus
generated are so enormous that they
are set fire to, the smaller ones being
consumed and falling in dust, while
the larger ones occasionally reach the
earth in the shape of meteoric stone or
iron.
Wealth Is an Essential.
Belgrave and Eaton squares are In
the southern portion of the west end
of London, nnd both are very hand
some and extensive. The value of prop
erty there, as in the districts just men
tioned, Is literally prodigious. Only the
richest people can afford to dwell in
these quarters and only the richest peo
ple do. Many persons of title and long
descent, who have not money enough
to occupy their ancestral homes, rent
them to tenants with fatter purses than
their own. Thus decade by decade
London society is losing its old repute
for exclusiveness, and the claims of
money are superseding those of birth.
Many of the oldest English families,
indeed, have now retired altogether
from active participation in social af
fairs. Parvenus and upstarts hobnob
with the rich nobility, and not seldom
intermarry with them as well.
