The managers of Colonel Roose
velt’s campaign in New York city
have been making use of a large
screen placed in a conspicuous
place on Broadway, on which at
night by means of a stereopticon
are thrown various pictures and
legends in furtherance of the colo
nel’s cause and derogatory of the
other fellows, The other night the
manipulators of The stereopticon
threw upon the screen in large
black letters, “Croker is New
York’s Aguinaldo.” What was
their horror to see appear imme
diately under it in larger and
blacker ktters“Platt is New York’s
Weyler ” An investigation showed
that the Van Wyck men had quiet
ly set up a stereopticon of their
own which bore on the screen and
were using it to boom their man.

The Savannah News furmishes a
new illustration of the old saying
that “politics make strange bed
fellows.” It says:
The queer tricks that tiae plays

Capt. Hanna cf (he British army,
grandfather of the Senator, seized
Francis McKinley, grand uncle of
the President at his home in Con-!
agher, Ireland and hJrried him to
Coleraine, where he was executed :

British officer and the Irish pat

salesladies in the department, we
find that no* one pattern has
ever been relumed as unsatie
