New, York, San. 9.Prank Moss, ex president of the board of police com missioners, speaking last night at the Universal Thought salon at Winterburn hall, on the topic "Things in General," blamed the men who buy special priv ileges for municipal misrule in New York. He said among other things: "This unanimous pointing to poor Senator Sullivan, Martin Engel, Percy Nagle and Devery is suspicious. It is suspicious that all the newspapers agree in attacking vice. It is suspicious that 'ra-mmany itself points to the particular vices of gambling, and disorderly houses. I ant inclined to look behind and see what greater evil is shielded. The men who might start an organization to overthrow Tammany are themselves guilty of doing practically the same thing. 'The men who have been build ing up this system of corruption know that the men who were in control in New York life were buying privileges and were fattening upon the fruits of special purchase privileges. "Devery is bad enough, but he is a mere creature, a mere product. The commissioners are as guilty as Devery, yet they talk of taking one of them to be the single head of the department. He is the very man who broke his faith with a chief with whom he had no fault to find, to put Mr. Devery where he is at the behest of politicians and gam blers. There has been all this discus sion about vice, but he has done nothing-. There has not been a single trial but he is not the ultimate criminal. He is the c:reature of a system. "Croker is certainly an object against which we have to turn our batteries, but I don't know that he is the worst one. There are. men in New York who are great financial powers and who have been furnishing the brains for Tam many Hail for years and profiting by it, and they have been using the rough man who is the nominal head to con trol the masses, and they have given him the, rough man's price." Mr. Moss described the enormous value of the subways as an illustration of the special privileges which be said a certain few men were interested in, and he said that it was to protect them in the enjoyment cf that monopoly that they maintained Tammany and throug-h Tammany prevented a construction of the pipe galleries which would carry wires in competition with the subways. ''This is the condition, yet the mis erable public is aroused over dives and gambling dens, and the holders cf spe cial pri'vileges slyly say: 'We'll see if we can't get the reformers to put in nomination for mayor some man who won't interfere with our special priv ileges.' 'One of the biggest builders in New York said to me: 'If I were to- tell you some of my experiences it Wel lia turn the city upside down.' 'Why don't you tell me?' said. " 'Oh, it would end me,' was the reply. "What white-livered men we are in N-w York. I have seen men turn pale when suggested that they speak out. Though vice is bad, it is not the worst thing. If it was not for corruption in business life there would net be so much in politics. One can be a railroad wrecker or an absorber of corporations and be considered respectable. The strife that is now on will go on until a race of men who have patriotism and civic pride will redeem the city." FRIENDL Y TECHNIC. LIT Y. - Enables an Iowa Judge to EnOck Out a Constitutional Amendment. Des Moines, Ia., Jan. 9.--Judge A. R. Dewey, of the sixth Iowa Judicial dis trict, rendered his decision at Washing-ton, Iowa, at 2 o'clock this afternoon upon the legality of the election amend ment to the state constitution, declar ing the same to be void. He bases his lengthy opinion of 10,000 words upon the fact that the amendment was not sub mitted by the legislature in legal form Every politician and office holder in the state has been awaiting the decision, for upon the result the terms of all office holders would or would not be extended one year, the general opinion being that the supreme court would affirm Judge Dewey's opinion. The case was planned some time ago by Attorney General Remley, Attr,rney General-elect Mullan and Senator George Titus, a,u thor of the measure. The amendment provided that all terms of office, from governor down, expiring in the year 1901 be extended for one yea,r. It first appeared in the legislature of 1898, being introduced in the form of a joint reso lution. In compliance with require ments far the adoption of an amend ment, it was presente-d to the succeed ing legislature in 1900, known as the twenty-eiahth general assembly. In the paasa,ge of the resolution at that ses sion the record ma,de in the Journal of the house was by the title of the joint resolution. The constitution requires that the amendment shall be "entered upon the journals." Judge Dewey holds that the recording- of the title only is not sufficient, and therefore the amend ment was not legally adopted by the people of Iowa. a,t the election Nos-ember 6, 1900- TICE IN NEW YORK. - Ex- Mayor Hewitt Says Root of the Matter Ides Tenement Houses. New York, Jan. 9.--Ex-Mayor A. S. Hewitt, interviewed last night upon the subject of vice in New York. said: "The remedy for the evils of which the people complain, now lies entirely in the hands of the people. 'When I was mayor, I looked thoroughly into the conditiors of vice on the east and west sides. arid I concluded that the root of the evils lay in the tenement house. I appointed a commission to look into the subject and its report, which seems to have been lost sight of lately contains all that sub sequent reports contain." Saying that small parks and a rapid transit railroad were parts of a. scheme which he urged, Mr. Hewitt said: "Then I recommended that the tene ment houses be torn down and recon structed and that this work be done as a necessary matter. That may be sociat istic, but I don't care, so long as it be done. I should prefer, however, to see it done by individuals, block by block. Te,ar down the houses and put up de cent dwellings for the people. Half fir! rents the people are now paying would pay for them and provide a sinking fund that would have them free from cost in 50 Years." "Feller name o' Shakespeare fooled our folks purty well las week." said Meddergrass. "He gave a show called 'Julius Caesar' ðOW11 to the opry-house. an' 'blamed ef the whole thing wasn't made up out o' pieces that's been spoke at the school exhibitions here for twenty year."Baltimore American. COST OF What a large proportion of the time of the well is necessarily devoted to Etrtdi lost in the care of the sick. An army of Plays !clans, Nurses and Watchers, etc. Orke sicK member of the famil3P upsets the whole current of domestic affairs. and social and business interest suffers. Sleepless nights and anxious days tend to undermine the health of those who are well. The direct cost of sicKness is an item impossible to estimate : even the direct costcould it be computed would be something appalling. Health is maintained by resorting to the use of Warner's Safe Cure just as soon as the liver shows signs of torpidity or the Kidneys give suspicion of weakness. 'FREE SAMPLE,.

Herrman b-ecomes more and more popular on each succeeding visit. His feats of palming are inter esting and puzzling and the rapid ma nipulation of Herrmann's fingers ex emplify the wonderful proficiency that may be attained by assiduous study and pra-ctice in the magic art. Three new illusions. "The Mysterious Tub of Nep tune." "La Supplice de Eutece," and "Cremation" will he presented during this engagement. The five Nosses are also on tne programme for a- 30-rninute diversion with musical instruments. Of the nerformance the New York Jour nal says: "The popular aphorism credited to President Lincoln was rendered all the truer to the audience at the Grand last night, when the exception to the rule was demonstrate-dthe single exception. said to be the sine qua non of every rule. Herrmann, the magician, suc ceeded in 'fooling all the people all the time.' Herrmann is the chiefest of all fakirs. In saying this only a compli ment to his skill as a. dealer in leger demain is intended, since the more the audience is faked the more they like it." During the performance of "Heart a,nd Sword" at the Crawford Thursday night, Miss Julia. Ralph, of Mr. White side's comDany, will recite Rudyard Kip ling's famous war poem, "The Absent-Minded Beggar." It be re membered Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. lamPs Brown Potter created quite a, stir in the London and New York literary circles by their reading ef the above. and Miss Ralph came in for no less honors at the Waldorf-Astoria last season. -- "There have been fewer things given at the Bijou theater that pleased so much as 'My Friend from India.' last night," so says the New York Herald. It is one of the brightest, and withall, one of the most enjoyable of comedies. It is of extremely farcical style, like "Charley's Aunt," or others of the same type. The farce will be at the Craw ford Friday night. -- CLUBS WILL 3IEET. Commercial Organizations to Convene January 16.
