From noon to midnight cn Saturday Broadway is t ironged with the best dressed people in America, all In their best clothes, all spending money.

That Teddy Bear was no molly- c ddle. Ke was a doer. As Artemus Ward said of Napoleon. “He tried to do too much, and he did It.” So we of today are constantly, almost hourly, enjoined to be doers and builders.

Jefferson Dinner at Waldorf Astoria Editor of North American Review Wields Verbal Cat O’ Nine Tails Down on avenue A In this city, E. H. Hflrrlmnn has a group of several hundred friends who are not to be moved in their allegiance to him by any trifle like a dispute with the Pres ident of the United States over the de tails of a campaign fund. These friends are the members of his “boys' club” and their friends. The notions of these .youthful hero worshippers concerning Mr. Hnrrlman are somewhat vague but It Is a popular belief among them that he is a much greater man than the President, anyway, and that ho could have paid nil of the bills out of h! loose change, had he been so minded just as he does for their club. It isn a matter very murh talked about, but •whenever this extremely active man gets fired of playing with railroads and the none-too-docllo hulls and bears of Wall *tre»t. he runs down to the club for an hour or two with the youngsters In the handsomely appointed club house which ho has fitted up with the latest and best of boys' club parapher nalia. He hfls systematized their ath lelles. organ'zed inter-settlement con tests, gives tWem a play every year, to which fashionable folks go. and after the play treats them to a banquet at one of the big restaurants This year the banquet was held at Sherry’s, on Fifth avenue. "He ain't what I - would ealle a fine lookin' man.” says one of the boys, "but I bet he kin put up a good fight." "I solemnly bind myself that I will give my vote as I shall judge In mine own eonselonee may best conduce to the public weal, so healp me God. That is the old-time “Freeman’s oath” with which the Pilgrims of Massachu setts Ray colony in 1834 affirmed their loyalty to the public weal. It sounded A little archaic, perhaps, from the lips of ?.0na "flr«t voters on Xew York’s Fast Side, the very stronghold of ma- Vhine politics. 'But it was given with such hearty. resonance that it brought astonished policemen to the scene to discover what If was all about. The occasion was the “Voters’ Festival” given In historic Cooper Union last week under the auspices of the Peo ple's Institute. The novel institution was borrowed from Boston, where It has been an annual event in Faneull Hall, that older forum of the people, for a number of years. Special sig nificance attaches to this Innovation In Xew York politics, inasmuch as it 1 the definite expression of an attempt which the People's Institute for a num ber of years has been making to or ganic from the masses of East Side populntlor. a sort of public conscience, always with effective means at hand for making its promptings heard. So far this season the attendance at the various meetings of the Institute has numbered more than 200.000 persons, and their unqualified condemnation or indorsement of Important measures Is something which legislators have learned to regard with respect. When Uncle Sam announces his reg ular semi-annual clearance sale, all roads lead to the Public Stores at ■Washington and Christopher streets, whore bargain hunters of all sorts and descriptions gather, from the hoblttues of Fifth avenue In search of laces and jewels to the East Side junk dealer who hopes to find an honest profit in more modest purchases of hardware nr.d old clothes. The importations at the port of Xew York for the past six months have been extremely heavy, and for the month of March broke all previous records. Consequently It took two days of last week tn dispose of the accumulation of unclaimed and ren- demned merchandise, which Included such miscellaneous articles as maca roni. old clothes, wines and cigtrs. min eral water, ily-catehlng apparatus, photographs, glassware, wooden shoos, asphalt, preserved fruit, cement, and nearly everything els*' made or used by man. to the appraised value of many thousands of dollars.

But it Is demanded, “What hath our King done that he should be condemn ed?” Rather I should ask , What hath he-not tried to undo that he should be praised? The actual accomplishment of either good or ill may be balanced by a feather. The roaring of the lion Invariably subsides Into the cooing of the dove. It is not the vainglorious boasting, as In the latest speech at Cambridge, of much already done, but the supplementary threat of “girding up lions to do more” that has caused havoc at home and apprehension abroad. It Is not the enforcement of old laws, however unwise, nor the pro posal of new* ones, however socialistic and unconstitutional, that alarms. Despite executive assaults upon hon est judges, we still have an indepen dent judiciary and the time may come when even Congress itself will cease to bo supine. It is the illimitable volume of violent fulminatlons from the source of power that is “choking up the fountains of industry and dry ing all its streams." Already great undertakings have been abandoned; new enterprises have been halted; the business world looks apprehensively to the future, and all who have anything at stake or aught in anticipation thank God in their hearts for the promise to forego a third term, and devoutly pray, though with no little misgiving, for the keeping of the pledge. I say “with no little misgiving,” be cause signs aro manifest that the “spear that knows no brother” Is again to be hurled into the arena. “My poli tics” Is the battle cry and who but “Me” personifies them? “All corpora tions should be accountable to some sovereign,” was the language of the message of December 5th, 1905, im mediately followed by the gracious phrase “I am in no sense hostile to This Is ar. erroneous and unjust view of'the situation. The doctrine of States' rights now does not mean what it did a half of a century ago, for the simple reason that since that time new amendments have been added to the Constitution of the United States, and for the further reason that as the result of the Civil War, and of the adjudications of the Supreme Court a great many of the rights that were considered as at that time realm of Federal we mean nowll^l States Is that the Federal Government shall not legislate upon matters purely of local and domestic concern, and by unlawful construction interpolate such a power into the provisions of the con stitution. “In the next place we are opposed to Governmental paternalism.

I have studied the question of Gov ernmental ownership of railroads in other countries carefully: and my con clusion is that It Is a failure from a political or commercial standpoint wherever It exists. “Of course I may be mistaken, and every one Is entitled to hls opinion, but I regard the Governmental ownership of railroads as a vision and a phantom. Laying aside the legal difficulties that surround the subject, I cannot look upon the scheme in this country as practical or feasible; nor do I believe that the Democratic platform will con tain any provision holding out the hope of such an undertaking. "There is one proposition, however, that the Democratic party must con tend for in this connection; and that is, it must demand a complete obedi ence to the existing statute. The rail road presidents and officers of our trunk lines must be made, once and for ever, to realize that they are the ser vants and not the masters of the peo ple. “Governmental ownership will never come to pass unless they force the issue. They are the real agitators! and I would kindly warn them to further desist from pursuing the tricks and mysteries that have now been laid bare before the gaze of the American people. 'There is another proposition that XEW YORK, April 13.—President Roosevelt's policies and official con duct were severely criticized at tho Jefferson birthday dinner at the Wal dorf-Astoria, under the auspices of the National Democratic Club, by Col. G. B. M. Harvey tonight. In responding to the tons!; “A Lesson from the Scrip tures.” he said: My text will bo found In Ecclesiastes, tenth chapter, thirteenth and sixteenth verses: "Woe to thee, O land, when thy kiug Is a child. . . .

Russia is assembling a body of troops on the Persian frontier for a demon stration which, it Is thought, will bo necessary soon. Newspaper correspon dents are not allowed to telegraph news of the movements of the troops, but it is known that twenty railroad cars loaded with artillery and three regiments of Cossacks passed through Kars' on their way south last week. The Russian diplomats describe the condition of Persia as complete chaos, but they hope that the moral effect produced by tho massing of troops on the frontier will be sufficient to enable the Shah to restore order without an actual invasion.

April 12.—With fric tion evident between Gov. Campbell and the members of the Texas Legis lature, that body adjourned sine die today after a four months' session, and was reconvened in extra session with in ten minutes by Gov. Campbell. Wednesday the Governor vetoed the legislative measure providing for the consolidation of several branches of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe Rail- rond under one management. The Sen ate -and the House passed the bill over his veto. The Governor, during the present session, has repeatedly de manded that the Legislature pass stringent anti-corporation laws, also certain legislation demanded by the Democratic platform. At the final ad journment today many of these laws had not been enacted. HAD FAMILY ROW IN THE PUBLIC SQUARE. GAINESVILLE, Ga., April 13.—The most exciting scene the public square has had for some time was today when a “family row” was enacted there for the benefit of many bystanders. An old man and his wife had “agreed to disagree” and were moving from their mountain home to different localities below Gainesville. They had their household goods packed into wagons and everything < apparently moved along smoothly until they reached the public square. After making some purchases at tho stores each went to their teams and started off. As is usually the case, there was a cow and a dog in the inventory of “belongings.” The old man Started off with the cow, when the “old ’oman” called a halt. The cow was ‘•her’n” and she up and “lowed” she was " 'agwine to have it.” A heated discussion followed, to which a large and interested crowd was at tracted. The old man “lowed,” and the crowd yelled with laughter. Finally the old woman led the cow away with a spirit of haughtiness that led the old man to believe that it was best to say no more, and he meekly tied the dog to the “hind-end” of the wagon and likewise went his way—and the family row was a closed incident. FAMINE SITUATION IS DESPERATE AND MONEY IS NEEDED. SHANGHAI. China, April 13.—The famine situation is desperate and Americans are urged to give $3,000,000 in tho next three weeks, not for Chris tian, but for humanitarian work. It is suggested that it would be best to cable money to the American consul here. James Linn Rodgers, as supplies can be purchased in Shanghai. The relief committee here is prompt ly sending supplies to the front hut the funds are now near exhaustion. Re lief measures adopted up to late are inadequate. Ten million persons are suffering from Inadequate supplies of food and three million are nearing star vation. The members of the commit tee at the front report that they 3rd the bodies of the sufferers bloated and that their faces turn green or black ns the result of starvation. The people are pulling up the growing crips for. food. While families have been found dead In their houses and corpses are seen lying by the roadside. Probably five thousand persons are dying dally from starvation. A few ] cases of rioting for food have occurred and cannibalism Is beginning to be re-, ported. Newly made graves have boon rifted of the bodies and parents are exchanging their children to bo eaten.

Stead was compelled to dine with the Rus sian ambassador, Baron Rosen, in his traveling clothes. When Mr. and Mrs. Stead left New York to come to Wash ington Dr. Albert Shaw, who accom panied them, attended to the checking of their baggage. Dr. Shaw handed over the paper checks to Mr. Stead. “If you’ll give me your checks I’ll at tend to your bagage," said Dr. Shaw when the party left the train this morning. “What checks?” Mr. Stead asked in amazement. “Those paper tags I gave you in New York after I checked your trunks,” Dr. Shaw said. “But I’ve thrown them away. I did not know they were of any value.” “Well, you’re in a pretty fix,” Dr. Shaw said. “Now you won’t be able to get your evening clothes.” Dr. Shaw saw the railroad officials and discussed indemnifying bonds, but did not get the trunks until nearly midnight. LONDON, April 13.—The conduct of the trial of Harry K. Thaw, for tho murder of Stanford White, as compar ed with the rapidity and exactness of English justice, as Illustrated in the ease of Rayner. the murderer of Wm., Whitely, forms a basis for comment in the newspapers this morning. All the papers publish long editorial arti cles on the Thaw case, and most of them review the various stages of the trial. It Is declared that American prestige has suffered severely and the case Is called a "signal proof of the utter Inefficiency of American states manship to evolve a practlacl legal system." One paper says: “Law, dignity, common sense and order all have been wanting.” while another declares “a strong English judge would have made short work of the trial, reducing to a minimum its degrading sensational ism.” Surprise is expressed that Justice Fitzgerald did not dominate the pro ceedings as would an English Judge and prevent tho defense from “getting up gush and greasy sentiment about a girl wife ” and the prosecution from "such flagrant abuse of justice” by the questions Mr. Jerome was nllowcd to put to Thaw’s wife. Tho methods of the counsel generally are condemned. Tho editorial articles practically ignore the tremendous interest this trial awakened in England. A majority of the newspapers here have devoted much space to pictures and nows of and comment on the trial, breaking tho record in this respect of all other for eign criminal cases.
