nervous prostration over the conduct of
his 111-iff. He was here for a few hours,
the object or his visit being to spend a

or design Mrs Corbett is known to have
hurrie,ily started away for New York.
The couple passed each other somewhere
between Trenton and Jersey City, Corbett
was accompanied by his friend, Freil
Il:ack. The ex-champion appeared to be
in a distressed frame of mind when on
the train. A passenger seated behind the
couple heard Black say consolingly: "Try
not to think about it, Jim: doht worry."
HOWel."Pr. Corbett showed himself im
patient during the entire journey. Upon
landing' at the station he jumped into a
cab and drove to the hotel where Mrs.
corbett had registered, but discovered
Vett she had left several hours before his
arrival. There WaS a hurried consulta

whether Mrs. Corbett had timed her hur

whether there had been a misunderstand

MISRULE IN NEW YORK.
Men Who Buy Special Privileges Re
sponsible Charges Frank Moss.
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."

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

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."

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS
Herrmann comes to the Crawford to

assist him. Herrman b-ecomes more
and more popular on each succeeding
visit. His feats of palming are inter

may be attained by assiduous study and
pra-ctice in the magic art. Three new
illusions. "The Mysterious Tub of Nep

"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

"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

rule. Herrmann, the magician, suc

time.' Herrmann is the chiefest of all
fakirs. In saying this only a compli

audience is faked the more they like
it."
