HE WILL BE A DELEGATE, 00 Evidence That New York is a Very Wicked City. SALE OF FINE HORSES Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, March 1900, Apropos of the reports now going the rounds concerning the trip of David Ben- nett Hill to Kansas City July 4, and the speculation regarding what he will do in case the expected happens and Bryan is re- nominated and 16 to 1 reaffirmed, it is worth telling that Hill makes no secret of the fact that he will not support the demo- cratic nominee and the “undemocratic plat- form." During the past week Bryan's fol- lowers, men like Willis Abbot, the press agent of the democratic party; Mayor Mc Guire of Syracuse, ex-Assemblyman Stanch- field of Elmira and State Committeeman Campbell have visited Mr. Hill at his home at Wolfert’s Roost. They have all come away with the impression that Hill intends to lead a forlorn hope at Kansas City; that, he will then return to his home in Albany. ard that he will do nothing further during the campaign of 1900. To go to a national convention as a dele- gate, and to announce in advance an un- willingness to support the candidate and the policies certain to be there adopted is something decidedly unique in American politics. But Hill is nothing if not unique in his methods. James Shevlin of Brookly: the man who furnishes the sinews of war to Hugh McLaughlin for the carrying cn the campaigns at the other end of the Brooklyn bridge, is the man who is said to be responsible for Hill's project of going to Kansas City. It was Shevlin who pulled the strings that resulted in Brooklyn mem- bers of Congress voting with the rej cans for the gold standard bill. It is lin who is “running things” in Brooklyn during the absence of “Boss’” McLaughlin. And it is Shevlin who has so engineered matters that it has been practically settled that Hill is the only man of prominence in the organization of the democratic party who dares to stand up and defy him. What Brought Bryan to Brooklyn. It was this opposition of Shevlin’s that caused Mr. Bryan to make that flying trip to Brooklyn during his recent visit to the east. Everywhere except in Brooklyn he had been invited to speak or meet the lead- ers of the regular organization. - But the Brooklyn democrats remained openly hos- tile. Finally a democratic “insurgent.” Michael J. Coffey, invited Mr. Bryan to come to Brooklyn, and the result has been that all of the Bryan men are rallying around Coffey, with the probability that Hugh McLaughlin will wake up some fine day to find himself deposed from the lead- ership which he has held for a third of a century. Tammany Hall, which has been jealous of McLaughlin's leadership ever since the consolidation of New York c and Brooklyn, looks on this fight approving ly, and is even doing what it can. in an vnderhanded sort of way to help Coffey. Between the upper and the nether mill- stone of Bryan and Tammany Hall it be nd gins to look as though McLaughlin Shevlin will be ground to exceeding fin ness. Wickedest City in the World. Evidence is rapidly accumulating to show that New York is the wickedest and the worst abused city in the world. It is charged that organized bands of looters are centering their efforts on three lines of illegitimate profit, viz: The vice-open town, fattening the pockets of political powers with blackmail derived from divekeepers, gamblers, pool-room proprietors and the like; the wholesale plundering of the city treasury under the guise of confessed judg: ments. the juggling of contracts for su} plies In city departments and question: methods in almost every branch of the city government, and gigantic and tematized robbery by political contractors, whose operations are exemplified in tne wreck of the Third Avenue Railroad Com- pany, one of the richest hauls ever made by any municipal ring. - Figures have already been given to show the “legalized robbing” of the city, and now they are being furnished to show what It for “protection” to gambling institu- It is asserted that more than $2,005,000 is paid every year by the gam- bling house keepers of this city for the pro- tection afforded them by the police and t other powers of the city government.

There is a movement on foot among the seamen of the United States navy who have quit the sea and retired to quiet iife ashore, to build a home for their mates still afloat with the government fleets, and for other discharged men, like themselves, where “Jack” can find a refuge and a snug harbor when off his ship, or a home when working at landsman’s employment after he gets his honorabie discharge. As proposed, it will be unlike any other institution in the world, for all those who are pushing the scheme intend that sailors shall control its man- agement, as well as help build it, and con- tribute to its support by patronage. The plan has the approval of Admiral Dewey. Rear Admirals Schley, Melville and Far- quhar and Capt. Goodrich of the Iowa, all of whom have written letters commending the scheme and pledging their support. The proposition contemplates the erection of an eight-story building, which shall cost, with its site, $40,000.

Fletcher, aged sixty-three years, whose home is near The Plains, uquier county, Va., is in a serious con- dition at the Emergency Hospital from the effects of inhaling illumiating gas early this morning at the home of his daughter, ‘irs. R. H. Talbert, Ni > street south- west. The phys express the opinion, hewever, that there is a chance of his re- covery. Mr. Fletcher came to the city yesterday it his wife, who is ill at the Columbia spital, where she had gone to have an operation performed for stomach trouble. After calling at the hospital and seeing the condition of his wife, he returned to his daughter's home, where it was noticed he Was much depressed in spirits. Attempts Were made to cheer him up, and when he retired to his room, about 10 o'clock last evening, he seemed to be somewhat better. He was asked if he knew how to turn off the gas, and replied he did. Mr. Fletcher, who is us riser, was expected to appear fast table shortly after ¢ o'clock this mo ing, but as he did not do so, Mrs. Tall took it for granted he was sleeping. a did not disturb him. An hour later, as was still absent, she went to the door his room, where, detectin she broke the door open. found stretched out scious condition, and room wide open. It is thought Mr. Fletcher again became despondent about his wife when he awoke at his usual hour in the morning, and that he then turned on the gas, intending by this means to put an end to his life. Word sat once sent to the fourth precinct tion, and Mr, Fletcher was removed to the Emergency Hospital.

John Mafthews Sent Down for a Year Less One Day. John Matthews, a young colored man, with an already long record, having served a term in the penitentiary and two terms in jail for committing deadly assaults, was ar- raigned before Judge Kimball today charged with assault and battery on John Hayes. The testimony showed that the two men became involved in a difficulty, and that Hayes, who was armed with a stick, was struck In the neck across the Adam's apple by Matthews, who used an ax. Attorney Keys, who represented Mat- thews, claimed the blow was struck in self- defense, but Judge Kimball declined to en- tertain such a view. “This man Matthews already has a bad record and he must be taught that assaults cannot be committed in this District,” said the judge. “He struck Hayes with an ax and in a most delicate place. The Adam's apple is almost as delicate as the temple, and a blow upon it may lead to most seri- ous results.” He then sentenced the prisoner to eleven months and twenty-nine days fn jail. __O Thousand-Dollar Loss.

What’s the Use If Adam had secured a job the day he was cre- ated, and had saved $50 a week ever since that time, say 5,887 years or thereabouts, he would be ‘the proud possessor of about $16,000,000. Andrew Carnegie makes that much every year, and gives it away without making a perceptible shrinking in his bank roll. By shrewd investment, and by keep- ing Cain and Abel on half rations, Adam might have managed to secure, on the average, aay 6 per cent for hig.savings. His total capital today would be less than $150,000,000, so that the poor fellow could never hope to get his name on the roll Of Millionaires like Carnegie or Rockefeller. The way to make money is to go into business; if you can't go in on a large scale, start on a small scale. For instance: Imagine that you own a Grain Elevator, and buy some wheat (you can buy 1,000 bu. on a margin of $25,000); do as the Elevator people do—HOLD IT until farmers want ft for seed, or millers want it for flour, or exporters want it for the foreigners; then sell {t at a merchandising profit, of from 33 to 50 per cent, and wait for another break to buy on.
