The small fry were Just as elated, and from Fourteenth street to the Battery the one best bet, ac cording to a supporter of the former leader, was that “If Mr. Croker could hit New York any time within the next month, Charlie Murphy would be deposed and Dick Croker unanimously elected to the leadership of the Wig wam and everything else in sight con trolled by Tammany.” In a word, no honor was esteemed too great to be stow upon the former chieftain.

Philander C.--Knox be came Presidential timber, and observ ing men have never left him out of the calcu’atlon when eontemplafng the Presidential succession of 1908. Pennsylvania has voted for more successful candidates for President than any other State. In 1796 she gave one vote for Adams and fourteen votes for Jefferson. ' Four years iater she gave Jefferson eight votes and Adams seven. In 1*24 she lost Jackson, who Whan John Sherman made the anti trust law he declared that it was all the Constitution would stand. At that time most Democrats fhoueht.it was more than the Constitution would stand. A quarter of a century ago a search warrant would not have dis covered a single Democrat who would have pronounced the thing constitu- tlonal. The three Democratic Judges on the Supreme bench decided against the contention cf Knox when the judg ment was made. It is the most radi cal sort of "government by construc- winners at the race tracks, some of whom will spend ten or twentv dollars, others ten or twenty, cents. The aver age expenditure, taking Into account young and old. rich and poor, certainly averages not Ie-s than two dollars a person. Thus, if there be only 200.000 people at the Island, it would mean an Income of at least $400,000. On a fine, warm Sunday there may be 300,000 visitors, and there are likely to be ten good. $400,000 Sundays in the season, resulting in the receipt of $4 000.000. A good week might easily equal two or three hlg Sundays, and even if it bring no more than $800,000, ten of them would make $8 000.000 and bring the total up to $12 000.000 for a moderately good season. Sometime’ tho season is New York for the month of May; 1907, as contrasted with those for the same month of last year. One of the most important items on this report are jewels and precious stones, which showed a falling off in value from $4,021,455 in May. 1906. to S2.9S1435 last month. One hundred and twenty automobiles, of the total value of $409,- 926.29 were imported during May of this year, as against 134 cars valued at $466,230.06 in the same month of last year. General merchandise, however, showed an increase over May, 1906, of approximately $10,000 000. or 17 per cent, in a total appraised value of $72.- 789,337.50.

"As goes Pennsylvania, so goes the Union.” And so. In a -practical sense. Penn sylvania Is the best politician in the Union. Republican Pennsylvania goes to the convention and observe and con- der. When she has settled on the winner she springs like a tiger and holds on like a bulldog, though it is my recollection that her vote was cast for Blaine on the final ballot at Cincinnati in 1876. but there is nothing more cer tain than that Pennsylvania defea*ed his nomination then by withholding her sunport until what is called the psychological moment was past.

Not one of the»e ever mnducted so important a case as did Knox, and not one ever achieved so great a legal triumph. On the eve of her departure for Eu rope, Mme.

The falling off of considerably over a mil lion dollars in the exclusive luxuries of the rich, however, indicates where the blow has fallen, if it has fallen at all.

Besides the production of opera, the institution will be the home of a musical college of the first rank.
