i Which Will Committee. President Fornes Will | Washington and Urge the Selection the Delegat the Also Go 100, City’s to of This City — Railroads Promise Big Subscriptions— Much Work Is Still to Be Done. John D. Crimmins, one of the foremost Democrats of the country, r ‘and Charles V. Fornes, the President of the Board of Aldermen of New | York, have agreed to head the committee which will work to bring the| : Democratic National Convention to New York City in June, 1904. 1 Others will act with these gentlemen and The Evening World, which started the fund to defray the expenses of the convention by giving . $5,000. To this fund has been added $1,000 by Fred Thompson, of the firm of Thompson & Dundy, proprietors of Iaina Park, and promises of large subscriptions from all of the railroads that run into New York. There is no doubt that these railroads will subscribe liberally, but ¥ even with their subscriptions and the subscriptions promised by the New York Hotel Men's Association, those promised by the theatrical men, headed by Sam Shubert, subscriptions that will come from the elevated} and surface railwaye and subscriptions from the owners of the big New York department stores, there must be still others to make the convention fm New York & certainty. NEW YORK MUST WORK HARD, As The Evening World has pointed out, New York has a most ex- edifent chance for the conveation; but New York must show its usual liber- @lity and its usual civic pride. The railroads that oan be depen: by The Evening World are the New Y Pennsylvania, the Drie, the Lehigh and the Jersey Central. upon to add to the fund started rk Central and the West Shore, the| The last four mee are.awaiting action by the Now York Central and the West Shore.

It is said that he will announce the amounts that can be expected from his roads immediately after Christmas. f Officials of the other roads who have been asked what amounts their fords will subscribe have all said that they would give the same amount given by the New York Central or the West Shore. MR. CRIMMINS ENTHUSIASTIC. In epeaking of what he was willing to do and what he would do toward petting the convention, Mr. Orimmins sald: “1 am only too glad to act om thi committe: In accepting places on the committee that is working to bring the con- vention here both Mr. Crimmins and Mr. Fornes will receive pledges for fupds to be added to the original amount subscribed by The Evening World. I will not only Gevote time to getting it in New York, but when the National Com- purpose.” New York's chances for getting the convention are becoming stronger each day. The announcement of John R. McLean, National Committeeman from Ohio, that New York ought to have the convention and that he would ‘work and vote for this city, will have the effect of throwing much strength ‘New York's way. “I believe that the Democratic chances for success would be greatly | tas, ‘added to,” said Mr. McLean, “by enthusing the people of the State of New York to such a pitch that New York would be taken out of the let of doubtful States. But, aside from this fact, New York is entitled to the convention. If T have my way New York will get the convention” M’ADOO IS LEARNING; WON'T TALK JUST NOW |!)

In the main room of the clyb-house of the Timothy D. Sullivan Assoclation, at No. 271 Bowery, three long tables were lala. The tabiecloths were not of the finest linen and the service was not of silver, but the guests of the Senator were not looking for accessories. They were in quont of food, and a suMolency of eatables and drinkables coupled with @ proper supply of knives and forke and spoons proved to be eminently satis- factory.

Bafore 8 o'clook in the morning there was a line extending down the Bowery from the obub-house to Broome street. From every direction men with empty stomachs and hopeful hearts swarmed to the Bowery. Alderman Timothy P. Sullivan was in direct command of all the Bulllvan lieu- tengnts. He was at the olub-house soon after daylight auperintending arrange- ments. W.

HEALTH EXPERTS | TICKET-CHOPPER TELLS A STORY OF CHRISTMAS Narrates a Tale of Love and Trouble and De- spair and Triumph as. He Watched It While Attending His Box. By Tosephine Robb. “Somebody has to be here to take thi tickets on Christmas, same's any other day, and it might as well be me,’ said the old ticket-chopper at one of the clevated stations in the neighborhood of the shopping district last night. He had no idea of emulating the Florodora sextet in his remarks, nor, on the other hand, was there any bid for sympathy or ostentatious assump- tion of patient resignation in his ex- pression. He simply stated a plain fact | in a matter-of-course sort of way, a cheerful grin on his face meanwhile, as he watched with alert scrutiny the box over which he stood guard. He was a man considerably over sixty, large in bulld and with grizzled mus- tache and keen blue eyes, He limped a bit when he walked—the result of a rail- way accident a few years previously, so hovnaia “Ticket! he called, to a hurrying passenger, who, the little pasteboard held tightly between his fingers, forgot all about the box. Yes'm, I've got no folks, and there ain't no Christmas without folks, so I'd ruther be workin’ here than thinkin’ all day long of how I'd like to spend the day. 0 Willing to Work, “There's plenty of younger men glad to get the day off—or a part of it—so 1 might as well take the place of one of tem." It was not a rush hour, and the old man had more leisure to talk than usual. = “Oh. yes'm, T used to have my home and family It’s the natural course of things, you know. “Mother—that was my wife; I always called her mother—she’s dead now these fifteen years. My children—those that lived to grow up—are married and liv- ing far away from here.” “Chop!

I thought she was from the country. “There was a finely dressed mun about thirty-five or forty who used sometimes to come up with her at night.
