How One of Bryan's Political Generals Overflowed With Information When He Was Interviewed by a. New York Political Reporter-Fearful That He Had Been Too Voluble After He Had Talked-Coler Will Not Be Able to Shift Responsibility. Ex-Governor William J. Stone of Missouri representative of the Nation18 the principal al Democratic Committee now in New York, and he has temporary headquarters at the Hoffman House. One day last week the exGovernor visited Brooklyn and called upon Hugh McLaughlin, leader of the Kings Coun-: ty Democracy.
This visit was followed by the announcement in some of the morning papers that ex-Governor Stone, speaking for William Jennings Bryan and the National Committee, had requested Mr. McLaughlin to use his influence in behalf of Controller Coler's candidacy for Governor. When the Kings County leader's attention was directed to this explanation of Stone's visit he said In the innocent, farmer-like manner which he affects when questioned by sensational reporters: "Is that so, that Governor Stone was over here telling our people who they ought to nominate for Governor? I haven't heard of any national committeeman telling Demcrats who they nominate. in Missouri and other states. Governor Stone struck ine as being a very fine specimen of a Democrat, a very able man, not likely to say he speaks for anybody without he is authorized to do 80." When the ex-Governor was questioned concerning the story that the national committee was backing Coler's candidacy, he sald: "The Democratic National committee will not interfere with any local affairs.
Local matters must be settled by local leaders. The National Committee will take no hand in any contest. They will not ask for the nomination of any man, neither will they request that any man be not nominated." An effort was made to draw ex-Governor Stone into the controversy over the Controller's candidacy, and he was counted among Coler's backers, but the shrewd Missourian was quick to recognize the fact that the Interference of the National Committee in state politics would justly be regarded as impertinent and provocative of resentment. And so Messrs. McLaughlin and Stone met and parted pleasantly.
Ex-Governor Stone is regarded by. politicians as one of the shrewdest and most resourceful party managers this country. He- is tall and wiry of frame, beardless, pale of face, with keen, sharp eyes; has, a prominent "nose, a small mouth;" broad rather than high forehead, is very deliberate in speech, very dignifled in his: demeanor. He Is the ablest political upon the National Democratic Committee with the exception, perhaps, of Mr. Arthur P.
Gorman. In 1896 Stone, single handed, the Middle Populists routed, wanted nominate a straight out ticket at St. Louls, with Bryan's name left off. Newspaper correspondents who attended that convention--the writer was one of them -were not able to discover how: Stone converted the Populists, whom he won over to Bryan, for the ex-Governor was always reticent when questioned upon that matter. He let Ignatius Donnelly, Cyclone Davis, Paul Vandervoort, Milton Park and Populist leaders of their stamp do all the talking and shouting, while he, in the silent hours ol the night, worked noiselessly but effectively.
The Middle-of-the-road men said Stone wore gum shoes when he was at work. After Bryan had been nominated and the fight against the straight-out Populists won, Stone was, if anything, more reticent than when the fight was on. He seemed the meekest and most disinterested man in the convention the night that Bryan was nominated. One day recently the writer dropped in at ex-Governor Stone's parlor in the Hoffman House just as a brace of political reporters were getting ready to interview the national committeeman. "An delighted to see you, gentlemen.
Take Beats, Tor is always a pleasure to meet pleasers your This from the ex-Governor with a courtly bow. "Governor, what do you think of Mr. Croker's $35,000 bet that Bryan will win?" one of the interviewers "Well-ah-really you must know that I know very little about betting," remarked the tall Missourian, blandly. in his state it Is said that everybody of the male gender, Including 12 year old boys and parsons, bet on horse races). "Do you really think that betting has much of an infuence in "Oh, yes," remarked one of his visitors Very positively.
"Indeed?" exclaimed the ex-Governor a8 one who had received surprising information. Then rather innocently: "What do you think of Mr. Croker's "Well, it's quite a bet," was the sage "As. I remarked, a few moments ago, I know but little about betting," said. the exGovernor as one who would have his hearers believe that he knew but little about the ways of the sporting world: then, after a brief pause, as if to collect his thoughts, he added with the suspicion of a twinkle In his sharp eyes: "In my 0-pin-lon, mind you It 3 is only the o-pin-ion of one man, I do not think that Mr.
McKinley's chances of winning are to 1 against Mr. Bryan." "The Republicans say they are going to carry Nebraska, Kansas and two other Western states that your people have been figuring on carrying." said the interviewer, gazing sharply at the Missourian. "Indeed!" exclaimed the ex-governor. "Well -now--did they--did they give you any figures or facts which would convince you of the correctness of their conclusions?" and again ace there was something very much like a twinkle the thought, the clear "Perhaps gray it eyes. was Then, advanced as as an a after- mere 0-pin-ion.
What do you think?" "I guess it was an opinion; they didn't give any was the answer. and the ex-Governor looked as one whose mind had been relieved of a great load of anxiety. "Now, if I were to say to you that Mr. Bryan will carry of the states you have named, that would be A mere 0-pin-lon also, gentlemen, Really, I couldn't give you more than an 0-pin-lon. The fact Is, none of U8 can do more than give 0-pin-ions.
Now, you gentlemen of the press read a great deal, and you come in contact with a many people who come from different states. Really, you are in a position to know more of what Is going on in the country than I am." (Here the Interviewers straightened up in their seats.) "That being the case, gentlemen, bavo you arrived at any intelligent conclusions based upon inquiry and facts, which would enable you to Indicate what the result is likely to bo when the elections are held in Maryland. Indiana, Kentucky, Illinoia? "I'm not familiar enough with those states to answer the question," replied the Interviewer, frankly, The shadow of a smile played around ex-Governor's thin lips tor a moment; then he remarked, in his deliberate, dignifled way: "You see, I am in no better position to give positive Information than you are. All that I can do le to give an o-pin-lon. might buy that I belleve that If the election were to be PESSIMISTIC DR.

And so he bowed them out. light of all the valuable information which you have just given out: in my hearing--I couldn't help hearing it--there is nothing left for me to question you about," the writer remarked as the interviewers left. "Did I really impart more than I should have?" inquired the -Governor quizzically. "I hope that I am not the habit of talking too' volubly." Some of Controller Coler's friends are saying that he will insist upon having his name presented as a candidate before the I Democratic state convention, so that if he is defeated discredit will come to Croker and McLaughlin; and they will be held responsible for the loss of the state.
Here is another view of the situation which members of regular organizations throughout the state are likely to take if Coler's name is presented when there is no chance for him to win. If he persists upon going before the convention as a candidate; a result of this hopeless candidacy the party is rent into factions and the state is treated to an exbibition of mud slinging in the convention. Controller Coler. cannot live long enough to become- a. successful -candidate before the: Democratic voters.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: It Is seldom, indeed, that our city fathers, in their bestowal of public comforts upon the animated population of the city, give the preference to the quadruped rather than the biped. But in many instances, I am reluctant to admit, this is but too true.
The particular instance that I have in mind is the relative conditions of the sidewalks and asphalt of our principal streets. I was a coming up Hanson place the other evening and the fact Impressed itself very forcibly upon my mind that it would be an excellent plan and an act of personal charity for pedestrians to monopolize the asphalt and surrender the sidewalks to the teams. It said that "'Lying is an abomination to the Lord," so are flagstone sidewalks, as laid in Brooklyn. One stone will slant toward the street, the next one is tilted toward the dwellings at an angle of 45 degrees, the next one slants eastward and next to the west. Then comes a series of cracks, elevatious, stones minus corners, depressions.
and, in fact, the walk for the entire length of the street on elther side is in a sad state of dilapidation: Notice closely and you will observe that the man who walks much over a flag walk has developed a peculiar lifting galt, each foot descending cautionsly, As though uncertain whether the next step would be up or down. Surely this is a lamentable condition of affairs, and ought to command the recognition and earnest attention of every resident of Hanson place, from a selfish motive at the very if for no other. To stand idly and calmly by, witnessing the usurpation by truck drivers of the comforts and privileges rightly belouging to the pedestrians, evinces (and it is to be much regret-ted) a condition of abject indolence and apathy and an entire lack of the spirit of development improvements so vital to the commercial, financial and moral standing of any HAROLD ISING. 308 State September 10, 1900.

THE WOMAN OF THE WORLD. Dr. Madison C. Peters Preaches Against Giving Up Life Wholly to Pleasure. In the Calvary Church, Sumner avenue and Decatur the Rev.
Dr. Baptist, Madison C. Peters last night preached on "The Woman of the World." He took his text from Timothy 6: "But sue that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth." Among other things Dr. Peters said: "The living dead are not all of one sex. There are as many men who are completely gived over to purposeless pleasure seeking as women.
But here the apostle writes to women, and it is therefore to type of feminine character here portrayed that I shall confine my remarks. If the fault indicated in the text could be corrected on the woman's hor, mighty. influence would soon correct it on the man's side. "The pleasure here spoken of need not be guilty pleasure. The thing assumed is that it has become the sphere of excess, the one thing on which the soul feeds.
It is not buoyancy of spirits that is here in question. There is not on earth a brighter phantom of delight than a woman as God made her. The popular notion is that in becoming a Christian you must give up all 'social enjoyment, no: more. must. you laugh or sing tors make merry-henceforth your life must be set to the tune of the "Dead March in Saul." It is the want of Christianity, and not Christianity itself, that makes so many Christians wear sad and unsmiling looks when at their worship and service of God.
"There is so much sorrow in the earth that it needs all the mirth of womanhood. to lighten it. But lightheartedness is one thing and frivolity another. It is the blight of frivolity 'that is seizing upon so many of our brightest women, with their possibilities of noble womanhood, out their aspirations after an unselfish life and turning their extstence into the dreary mockery of a living death. 'To say that a young man has become dissipated is to draw a' black line through his name, erasing it from the roll of those who are accounted honorable and useful, and in that application it implies unsteadiness of character, Intemperance and those faults so destructive of usefulness and true respectability.
If dissipation is too harsh a word it is because we cannot find another term which implies the same of character, although in the external man it is 80 different. Female dissipation is pleasure seeking, the love -of admiration, devotedness to. fashion, selfishness and the like. These lead. to extravagance; waste of time.
frivolity of character. a word to a selfish, worldly, irreligious life. All this may be without anything which if neglect of duty, unwomanliness a of conduct, In taken by Itself. can be called sinful. It is the making a business of pleasure, the surreddering of one's self, body and mind, to the finified fooliers of fashion, and to the 61- preme demand of social life, so that the enormous accumulation of trifles rests upon the soul with almost as heavy weight as the greater, coarser faults which men commit.
"Now. if all this fashionable dissipation were in itself not objectionable, which is far from the truth, yet is it not a sad thing for a. woman to give the best part of her life to trivial amusem*nts? How undignifled, how careless, how un-Christian such lite is, is expressed in Paul's judgment upon it when he says 'She that liveth. In pleasure- is dead while she It -is AL strong picture. moving.
speaking, laughing, dead. objection to be found in the dissipation of fashionable life is the frequent sacrifice of health. The physical education of women is at best too much disregarded. It is quite a luxury to see a society woman of 35 in the enjoyment of vigorous health, with a fresh, natural. color.
Before. the school days are over the dissipation begins.
