An astonishing situation confronts New York in its| ‘ @fforf to secure the Democratic National Convention. - “The movement has gone on amid apparently universal ‘@pproval; the merchants, the hotel-keepers, the railroads, 4 3 the theatrical men have all promised to help it; the fAldermen have extended an invitation; a strong Citizens’ Committee has been formed and has obtained assurances that all the money needed will be forthcoming, when Suddenly a eecret opposition has ‘been discovered— Where? From Chicago, trom St. Louis, from the repre- Sentatives of Western or Southern candidates? ‘Mr. Crimmins is not mistaken the hostility is in Tam- ‘many Hall, the representative Democratic organization of this Democratic city. The leader of Tammany {s said, for reasons of his own, to want the National Conven- Mon held outside of New York. Tt is suggested that Tammany may be afraii of the Fapense of entertaining the convention, but that idea te Preposteroun on tts face, If Mr. Murphy be really op- Dosing New York's desires it must l6 for some political Peason. Perhaps he may think that {t might not be good ‘Policy to hold the Democratic Convention in New York, | ‘Because if an astern candidate were nominated here he, ‘Would lose strength in the West. ry ' But there is no mtional connection between the resi- ‘Wence of a candidate and the place of his nomination. Mr. Cleveland was an Pastern man nominated three times Jm the West, and twice elected and once defeated. Mr, Bryan was a Western man, nominated twice in the West, Bnd beaten both times, largely by Western votes. BicKinley was a Western man, nominated once fn the AiVest and once in the East, and elected both times. Mr, _) @farrison was a Western man, nominated twice in the {West, elected once and defeated once, and when he was lected it was by Eastern votes. Bring the convention to New York and let it nomi- mate the strongest candidate it can find, no matter where he may live. The voters will do the rest.

ID you feel the cold in your flat?” asked the “D Cigar Store Man. “Did I feel the cold in my flat?” asked the Man Higher Up, right back. “How do I |size up to you? Are you loaded with the impression that |1 am covered with a coat of fur? Of course I felt the cold, and if there is any man who lives in a New. York flat-house who didn’t feel the cold ‘he must have been ossified. “I don't know what causes {t, but the builders of New York flat-houses of recent years evidently are not wise that there are months on the calendar between | September and May. It may be the influence of Italian labor that has switched flat construction in this town from solidity to the lines of a bungalow in the tropics. |It they keep on it won’t be necessary to have any doors in @ flat-house, The inmates can walk out through the holes in the walls. | “The building authorities take a lot of precautions against fire in flats, but they don’t take any precaution? against chilblains.

Every time the janitor fired up the alleged boiler in the basement I had to open the windows to let the heat out. When the boiler wasn’t going the agent came around. and gave me hot air. “As soon as the weather got cold the digestive ap- @ | Paratus of the alleged boller became defunct and it took busy on other botlers in other houses, Then when they, put a real fire in the furnace they discovered that the flue wasn't blg enough and they had to duild in another flue. All things being remedied the janitor started & conftagration in the boiler with the object of melting the frost on the walls. As soon as the steam pressure got into the radiators the safety valves blew out, and passersby thought that the place had been converted into a roundhouse ané¢ that all the locomotives were blowing off. “When the thermometer gets down around zero in a flat like that the gas freezes up. Then It’s a case of go to a restaurant for your meals and go to a theatre at night to keep warm. If you-ve got a gas Jog the chances aye that the draught in the house blows it out after you get into bed, and you are lucky if your people won't have to ‘be putting up an alibi for you the next day to show that you didn’t commit suicide.” 2 “There are lots of conveniences about a modern flat at that," said the Cigar Store Man. “Yes,” agreed the Man Higher Up, “it makes a man glad he is being stung for rent to excavate his way out of bed these mornings and discover that the only modern convenience in the house that hasn't got tce in it is the stationary ice-chest.” oe BDHIOOFTH oy 6 a8 For Church Sleepers, In a dlary kept in 1946 it 1s asserted that “Allen Brydges has been chose to wake the sleepers in meeting, and, being much proud of his place, must needs have a fox talle fixed to the end of a long staffe, wherewith he may brush the. faces of them that will have naps in time of discourse,’ ‘This energetic individual was likewise armed with “a al thorne," for the benefit of those who ‘be moat sounde!* There Js a record of the use of this Implement upon Mr., Tompkins, who was sleeping comfortably in the corner of his pew when Allen “thrust his’ staf? behind Dame Ballard to give him a grievous prick upon the hand, whereupon Mr, Tompkins did spring much above the floor and with terrible force did strike his hand against the wall and also to ther wonder of all prophanelie exclaim in a loud voice: “Buss the woodchuck!’ he dreaming, as it seemed, that a woodchuck had seized him and bit his hand." ® 999O9999-00-009H-000-09909- 0009909000 Fined for Smoking. ‘The earliest instance known of penaliging smoking tn tho streets is in the court books of the Mayor of Methwold in England, There is the following entry on record of the court held Oct. 14, 1695: “We agree that any person that 1s taken smoaking tobacoa in the street shall forfitt one. afitl- linge for every time #o taken, and it shall be lawful for the petty constables to distraine for the same, for to be, put td 199999999-099990> ing im the street, and doo amerce him one ahillinge,”” 900090090 00004" e Meets His Majesty the Janitor. : Von’ i A Ye eS (> HEAT! “Janitor o’ this here flat! a week to get a plumber to fix it; all the plumbers were» } the uses above sald, We present Nicholas Barter for sinoak. {
