Nearly all the counties reported that everything was in good condition. A few Chairmen frankly admitted that the outlook was not bright In their districts.

Jteasona for Refusing Nomination on Popoeratic Ticket. Justice Nathaniel H. Clement of Brooklyn yesterday added to the dismay of the silver Democrats of that city, as well as of the entire Second Judicial District, by following the example of Justice Charles F. Brown and Issuing a letter refusing to run for re-election as a Popocrat. His letter was as follows; To Arthur C.

Salmon. President of the Democratic Judiciary Convention: Dear Sir: In allowing; my name to be presented to the convention over, which you prtisided. I was actuated by the belief that the course pursued by me in office was a better argument for a renomination than any opinions which I might hold on National issues. I was not ignorant of the great change which has been made in the policy of the Democratic Party on National questions, a change not anticipated in last May when the subject of the nomination first began to be considered. The platform adopted by the Chicago Convention has.

to put it mildly, proposed a new political creed to which I cannot conscientiously subscribe. A sense of duty to the gentlemen who nominated me without any pledge on that subject seems to render It proper, now that that issue is forced upon me by Influential supporters of Mr. Bryan, to return to their hands the power which they may again exercise of naming' a candidate wholly in accord with the National ticket, although I cannot but deprecate the closeness with which National issues are to bear upon the selection of officers whose powers and duties are not related to National affairs. This phase of the matter has been developed since the convention and I have delayed this letter partly for that reason, and partly, also, because of the absence of Judge Brown, whose action I did not desire to anticipate. In conclusion, 1 wish to thank the convention for the great honor conferred, and to express my.sincere regret that the considerations mentioned compel my declination.

Yours very respectfully. NATHANIEL. H. CLEMENT. Willoughby Street was angry, because if it had not been for the personal Influence of Hugh McLaughlin In behalf of Justice Clement he would net have been renominated, and his declination was considered an insult to the old man in the auction shop.

To add to the chasrin of the silver-ites, Thomas S. Moore also intimated that he might also get off the ticket If his personal views on the financial question were not agreeable to the Popocratlc wing of the Democracy. County Judge Stephens of Richmond County, the fourth candidate on the judiciary ticket, is expected to run, if he has to run alone. The Committee on Notification, consisting of Thomas J. Kenna.

R. M. Meehan, Thomas F. Byrnes, Michael J. Cummings, and Thomas W.

Fitzgerald, who are authorized to fill vacancies on the judiciary ticket, had been unable last evening to find any Democrats who cared to run in the places of those who have retired from the ticket. ARCHITECTS AS BUILDERS. What C. II. Blackball of Boston Says of the Planner's Work.

C. H. Blackhall of Boston addressed the Architectural League at Its first monthly meeting last night in Its clubrooms -in- the Art Students' League Building. Mr. Black-hall's subject was The Evolution of the Architect as a Master Builder." During the course of his remarks, he said: There is a great deal that Is unsatisfactory to-day in the present relations between the owner, architect, and builder.

They work 'at cross purposes. I am firmly convinced that architecture will never rise to anything like the plane it once occupied until the systems of construction are changed In such a way that the' architect builds his own building. Professional ethics has condemned this practice. I cannot suggest any definite means of procedure, that must be a development. But there are not lacking signs that it Is coming, and I hope to see the day when the architect can truly say: That Is my building.

I have tried the plan twice and find 1 can do more with less money than in the present system of contract." LITTLE ONE FINDS FRIENDS. Her Supposed Protectors Charged with Crael Treatment. When Joseph McCraig seven months ago ran away from the shanty he shared with Mr. and Mrs. John Silvernail on the Union-pott Road, near Morris Park Avenue, he abandoned his five-year-old baby Caroline to the tender mercies of a not too tender world.

Mm. Silvernail, vhose husband earns S6 a week as a laborer, neglected and. it was said In the Morrlsania Police Court yesterday, ill treated the child. Mrs. W.

L. Conway, the wife of the contractor for whom Silvernail worked, noticed that 'the little one was getting weaker and more wasted, and on Monday Informed the Gerry society that the case deserved their attention. The child's lifo Is insured in a local company. Agent found the child half naked and crying from the pain of a bruised back, and told, her story to Magistrate Simras In the police court. The Magistrate committed little Caroline, temporarily to the Gerry society, and issued a summons for Mrs.

Silvernail to appear to-morrow and explain, if sh could, the bruises on the child's body. Blooming? Grove Park Contests. The third tournament of the Blooming Grove Park Association will bo held on the grounds ot the club, near Glen Eyre, of Pike County. Oct. 16 and 17.

Edward J. Ivory, who, as Edward Bell, was arrested In Glasgow as a member of the. Tynan-Kearney-Harris alleged dynamite plot 'against England and the Czar, and who Is now a prisoner in London, has written the following letter to John J. Scan-Ion, who is In charge of his saloon at Lexington Avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-third Street: H. M.

When I came to London I bought a ticket from a man named Edward Bell, he purchasing ticket but could not come owing to the death of his mother. I bought ticket for half price, but had to use his name, and thought the trip cheaper than Saratoga or the mountains, but now I find it pretty dear.

However, there is nothing against me but suspicion, and that don't bother me. Conduct business as well as you can until I get back. Pay landlord. brewers' bills, only except running expenses. Remember me to all the boys, especially to Ben and George Sherwood.

A PROTEGE OF DR. PARKHURST. Soman Arrested on a Warrant leaned In Texas. Henry P. Suman, a protege of Dr.

Park-hurst, was arraigned in the Centre Street Court yesterday on a warrant issued by Sheriff Euliss of Fort Worth, Texas. Su-man gave his business as a clerk, and his residence as 773 Second Avenue. He was arrested at his home Monday night. Dr. Parkhurst appeared in court early yesterday morning and listened with interest to the trial of other cases, until 6uman was called.

On the statement of the detective who made the arrest, and a telegram from the Texas Sheriff. Magistrate Mott held the prisoner in (1,000 ball to await requisition. Dr. Parkhurst, when asked what interest he had in young Suman. said: The crime with which Suman Is charged is the swindling of the Dallas (Texas') News Company out of $600, a year and a half ago.

Suman came to me a little over a year ago and begged me to assist him. He Intimated that his past had not been an exemplary one, and for ttrat reason he found.it difficult to obtain employment. I Interested myself In his case, and obtained him- a situation. I know nothing of the nature of the charges against him. but during the past year and a half I know that he has lived a perfectly honest life.

I shall endeavor to secure bail for him pending the arrival of the extradition papers from Texas. If he is wrongly accused. I shall also see that he is properly defended at his trial in Texas." OVER THE MAYOR'S VETO. Aldermen. Pass the Resolution Pertaining to News Stands.

A man or woman Imprisoned for' life Is practically dead actually dead, the law says, as far as any outside obligations are concerned and the husband or wife of the prisoner, after going through a certain form, may legally marry again. But, strange as It may seem, this is never done. There is no record of a case where a husband and wife have legally separated on account of one being imprisoned for life in this country or on the other side," says Lawyer Abe Hummel. "If a man. is a thief or a forger, his wife goes home to her family disgraced, but if he commits a crime for which he is Imprisoned for life, only sympathy for him Is felt It Is a living death.

I have seen people who were widely, separated as widely as could be brought together at such a time. The only feeling is one of pity, and then there Is always the hope of a pardon." Adolph Hirschkopf, called the King of Firebugs," who was sentenced to imprisonment for life a few months ago, was granted permission 'to remain in the Tombs a week, to give his signature and consent to a religious divorce, according to rabbinical law, which was necessary before his wife could marry again. But the wife did not take advantage of the opportunity. There Is a great deal of fun going on In connection with the centennial jubilee of the African Methodl-t Episcopal Church, now in progress at the' church at Bleecker and West Tenth" Streets. The basement of the church Is given up to a continuous bazaar and an exhibition of curiosities of olden days, and here the people gather between services to exchange reminiscences.

Some of the people are there who were present when the present church building was first occupied, fifty years ago. The relics are all of them over IOO years old. Some of the people who owned them must have been very old also, unless there Is a mistake in the label of a cup. It 13 marked: Cup belonging to great-grandmother, aged 14'J." Many of the things are new. Among them is a knitted silk purse.

Doesn't that take me back fifty years? said one nice old colored woman, who has been a missionary to Africa, as she loked at it. I was Jost before I was married, ana was knitting Billy a purse. I had to do as my mother said, though. If I was a young lady, and she told me to go up stairs and do the work up there. Well, I went up, but I kept right on knitting.

Pretty soon my mother srfe called, 4 Duly, come down Just wait a minute, I says, because I hadn't done a bit of work. But my mother she was a very systematic woman, and she had given me just an hour to do It. You come right down said she. I went, and then whe-ip whe-lp whe-lp down on my shoulders. I was awfully ashamed me a young lady, going to be married on Thursday, and get a whipping right before everybody.

Bur I had to mind my mother, if I was going to be" married." Companies which make a business of giving bonds of suretyship for employes say that it Is very seldom that such bonds are. violated. The reason they assign is the rigor with which the search Is made for a delinquent and the almost certainty with which he is brought to punishment. If a fellow has anything of the character of the knave In him." says a man who has given the subject considerable thought. if he has a relative who has given bonds for him.

he feels, if at some time he Is tempted, that for the sake of the family name he will not be prosecuted." An old firm which has had a branch doing business In New-York, Rochester. Albany, and Brooklyn during the last year, says that during that time there has not been a defaulter In the four cities or one man of whom they have been notified that he has In any way broken his bond or shown the slightest sign of dishonesty. I saw in your column Gathered About the other day," writes a woman, a ptory of the courtesy of a conductor on the Long Island Railroad. I have had a similar experience. I was going to Bayvllle to stay over Sunday, and I had been delayed and took a late train, which would not land me at my destination until some time after 9 in the evening.

That Is very late in a country place on Saturday night. was a little anxious, particularly as I knew I could not stop at Bayvllle itself, but would have to get off at the station above, some two miles from the place where I was going, and ride over, or get off at the station below and walk a long distance on a country road with which I was not familiar. I confided my troubles to the conductor I wish I knew his name. He knew -exactly the location for which I was bound. It will be best for you To get off at he said, and ride over, but there may be no carriage there, and- If not you can go down to There is a house near the station, and I think if you go there you can get a boy to go along with you and show you where you want to go.

Don't get off at though, until I see if there Is a carriage for I was ready on the steps at the station when the train stopped. The conductor stepped off and shouted a name with which he seemed familiar. A man made his appearance from the surrounding darkness, said he had a carriage, and the conductor told him where I wanted to go and he promised to look out for the. As I was getting into the carriage a man, apparently an old patron of my driver, came up. He wanted to be driven home, but there was only the one buggy, and he went off grumbling.

He had come down on the train with me, but my conductor had been too quick for him and I had the carriage." There was an interesting little scene between a miniature man and woman at the foot of the stairs leading to the elevated station, at Thirty-third Street, yesterday, on the up town side. The hero and heroine were little street urchins, looking healthy and happy, as such children often do. In spite of the poverty of their lives. The boy was five or six, and the girl perhaps a year older. She was a young lady, with womanly instincts' It was easy to tell that bv her hatpin.

She wore a soiled worsted Tarn o'Sbanter, but it was not secured to her head by an elastic or left to hold Itself on. as such headgear usually is. The llttlo lady's hair was confined in one tiny pigtail, and through the thin hair that covered the top of her bead and the soft crown of her Tarn was thrust a big hatpin la tniiv feminine style. She was oblivious to this for the moment, however, while she wis b'Jilly engaged in securing a pink carnation iu the buttonhole of the little man beside her He was wntching her work with a overbed Interest. The flower bad probably come from the flower, stand at the corner, or had been dropped by one of the purchasers.

It is a strand of red baby ribbon tied around the neck of each bottle of red pepper. It might not be aesthetically pleasing to everybody It Is suggestive of the neck, ribbon of the pet dog, but its bright scarlet hue does not blend with the dull red of the pepper.

But it is useful. The guests at 5 that particular hostelry do not discover amid tears and choklngs that they have used a generous supply of red pepper in the place of black. The friends Of Miss Kathryn Kidder In New-York, arejjust now much elated over the military honors recently paid the heroine of Sans Gene in California. A reception was givers) in honor of Miss Kidder at the Presidio, where she was received by Col. Graham of the United States Army and staff.

There was a serenade by the artillery band, followed by a luncheon, at which Col. Graham's wife and daughters and the ladles of the post were present. Mary Anderson Is said to be the only other actress who ever received similar honors. Several clerks and messenger boys stood in front of a tailldlng in course of erection on Nassau Street and poked fun at an old Italian who was making desperate efforts to raise a big bundle of sticks to his shoulders. He almost succeeded several times, but the load was just a little more than his strength.

At every failure the crowd laughed at hisn. He was making a final effort when very pretty girl ran across the street and helped him get his load up. As he staggered off with his load she' looked scornfully at the mockers, every one of whom looked ashamed. 1 i I A tired small boy, with a large bundle in his arms, sat down to rest on the steps at the base of one of the pillars of the Sub-Treasury. The warmth Of the sun produced somnolence, and he was.

soon in the land of Nod. A newsboy who perceived the sleeper armed 1 himself with a few banana peels and stole! softly up the steps, while a small crowd, which was composed of dignified bankers I and brokers and business men, gathered to watch the proceedings. Nearer and nearer crept the crafty, disturbing urchini Suddenly there was a swift rush, a flash of banana peel; and simultaneously a yell from the sleeper, as with a most comically complicated expression of amazement, terror, and anger-he awoke to find his mouth stuffed with tse banana peel. The crowd grinned enjoyably, and the boy who had perpetrated the act dodged safely behind the shelter of a friendly pillar. A young woman stepped off an elevated train at the Hanover Square station, and, accosting the i old colored porter in the waiting room, I asked him to take charge of a small paper box which she carried In her hand.

The old darky bowed and scraped, and with suavity said he would keep it till she returned. She hadn't gotten to the doer, however, before a great squeaking and- squealing Issued from the box, and the I startled darky dropped It, crying out: "Hyart hyarl what am dis yer thing? i 1 The young wbman returned and explained that it was a pet white prat. "Oh! Golly, golly! yelled, the darky; take it away, take it away and be handed it gingerly back to her. Dranb It Company Eleelioa.
