THE EW YORK TIMES. SATURDAYS NOVEMBER 23.. 1903. Hon of the. former President to allow' the" use of hts nam at the next National Convention, although many of them expressed the belief privately that his letter might V.ave the effect of ao'far Increasing the public demand for his nomination that he mlsM.

attar all. be obliged to accepVanotto- er nomination. There was a general beeltancy among Democrats of prominence to talk on the subject, tbey pleading either that they were out of that they were unfamiliar with the circumstance! leading tip to the writing- of the letter, or that they did hot wish to have their namea used ta connection with any comment on the subject-Senator Thomas Piatt. Senator William A. Clalk, M.

Linn Bruce, President of the Republican County Committee; Congressman John W. wight, and John N. Book-waiter were seen, but refused to express any opinion en the letter. The following expressions were obtained: Ex-Mayor ROBERT A. VAN WTCK The Democratic people of the entire Nation will read with the deepest regret this declaration of ex-President that he wtii not again be the candidate of the Democratic "Party for President.

The discussion that baa been going on for the past few months as to the advisability and feasibility of making him again the standard-bearer of his party In the great National contest of next year has met with a welcome response from the Democratic politicians as well as from the rank and file of the party. It seems to be considered that he was the man of all men to again lead the party to Victory in National affaire, It is surely a great disappointment to the Democratic Party that he cannot again be its candidate. The people Of the Nation, irrespective of party, had concluded that his nomination was equivalent to an election, and they will undoubtedly continue to do It may be that the demand for bis re-nomination will become so overwhelming-by the time the convention meets that his wishes wtil be Mt aside and that he again will lea a the Democratic Party to that triumphant victory to which he led it when be was twice elected President. The affairs of this Nation have become so entangled and unsettled that our people, irrespective of party, would hall with delight the election of a President so sate, conservative, and respected as Mr. Cleveland, the greatest living statesman of America.

--REUBEN 'I FOX, secretary Republican State Committee: We all know that there are many Cleveland Republicans. As a result of this announcement of the ex-President, more Republicans will vote the Republican ticket next election than would otherwise." Postmaster CORNELIUS COTT said: If rover Cleveland has made such a statement it can be relied upon that he means it." HUGH MCLAUGHLIN Nobody knows Just what conditions will arise within the Democratic Party during the seven months that will intervene before the next convention, and it would be idle for me to aav anything about it. I have not read the let ter, and therefore I cannot discuss it. SENATOR PATRICK IL M'CARREN The New York State delegation will chooee a candidate to present to the next National Convention. The National Convention wilt In turn choose a candidate to present to the people, and I have no doubt that the candidate, whoever he may be, will accept, and will be one to whose support a great majority of the American people will go.

JACOB BRENNER, Chairman Ot Exec utive Committee of Republican Organisation In BrooklynThe Democrats will now. no doubt, look to somebody who, they think, will carry New York State. In ail probability this will bring them to Judge Parker, whose strength is of a negative fa rartpr Ha Will Rtrnnr Hra hum i-ia has made ho enemies, if -he la elected he will make a good President, as he has ability ana gooa character. RICHARD W. BAINBRIDGE.

Chairman Kings County Democratic General Cnmmit-l lee It is perfectly natural that Mr. Cleveland should take -the stand that he has taken. He has had all the honor that comes to a President of the United States, and he metises that while he has friends he has also made enemies. It is prone Die tnsi we can nil agree on Judge Parker. We look to Democratic snores and we want a candidate whom all Democrats will support.

I believe that the noml- nation of Parker would unite all factions opposing interests. CORONER MICHAEL J. FLAHERTY, leader of the Radical Democracy of BrooklynCleveland's elimination paves the way for a united Democracy. Much depends on the character of the man nominated, however. If they choose, for instance.

Folk, the "prosecuting officer of 8t Touls. who, like Tliden, has not hesitated to prosecute the rascals within hi party as well as those without, there la no doubt in mv mind that all factions of the party would unite to elect him. PROF. PUTIN'S FOX HUNT. A Rabbit Scare Causes the Columbia Invtnter to Use Foxhounds NoW Instead of Coon- Dogs.

Spetiml TU New York Timet. WINSTED, Nor. 27. Four foxhounds owned by Prof. M.

K. Pupin of Columbia University, the ocean telephone Inventor, won the fox hunt at Norfolk yesterday. They drove the only reynard that was captured into the open and within range cf the hunters' guns in a ten-mils chase. The reason for Prof. Pupin supplanting his kennels of coon dogs in favor of foxhounds is explained for the first time by Henry Laeler, ecaretaker at the Pupin country place in Norfolk.

The inventor, while out with a party of coon hunters one night, chased a rabbit into a hole in a Wlge. When the rabbit emerged Prof. Pupin, who stood in front of the opening, was so frightened that he fall over backward against a small tree on tlie edge of a steep precipice. Had the tree not been there or had the Professor missed It in his backward fall, he might have been aerl- cusly injured on the jagged rocks below. That settled coon hunting, and in fact any kind of game hunting-at night for Prof.

Pupin. i TJBGES TEACHING OF MORALS. Prof. Herri Bays Papils la School Sfceald Learn Humility and Frugality, Special to The New Yrb Times. BOSTON.

Nov. 27. Prof. M. L.

Perrln of Boston University discussed the teaching of morals in the public schools before the Massachusetts Teachers' Association today. He maintained that the time bad now arrived when the public schools must take up the matter. How to go to work In a correct way. Prof. Perrln said, was a matter to be considered.

The children should be taught to be good, but not that if they were good they would all crow up to be Presidents. He added; We all know bur-virtues, but one of our weaknesses Is lack of humility. That Is a Tirtus much overlooked to-day. Parents cry out for success; success la everything, humility Is forgotten. Our fathers did chores, our sous refuse to.

apd put the anme energy Into football. Our girls decline to do housework. Our young husbands must have their wives well dressed when tbey go to a whlet party. We have not the virtue of frugality. We should teach It.

We are on tlje border of despotism, and the schools can cure it." 27AVAL SCENES FOB ST. LOUIS. Istdlaaa Ordered Sea te be Photographed. I 5 te Tke New Yerk Timt. WASHINGTON, Nov.

Pin PUN PC7C DUCT I ULU Ii.mil OLIU tnui GUARD Arrested for Accosting Chief Executive at Funeral Service. HE HAD A PATENT REMEDY. Sensational Incident Attends Last Church' Rites Oyer Mr.

Roose- velt's Uncle, Janus King Grade Gen. Greene Acts. v. President Roosevelt's coming to New York to attend the funeral of his uncle, James King Grade, was the occasion fer turning out 600 policemen, under com mand of Inspector Brooks, and yet It was possible for a man to ret near enough to the President to band him a paper. The man carried a traveling bag which, on examination later, was found to contain three cans, of about the also of fruit Jars.

They were filled with charcoal, of which, had it been explosive material, there would hare beeit enough to have blown up the church and surrounding property. Fortunately the man was old and harm less. With the satchel In bis hand he was permitted to get near enough to the President to hand hint -a note, which he had written In the vestry, Tho President was la greater danger earlier in the morning, when his carriage was nearly crushed by a swift Broadway trolley car. which struck a rear wheel of the coach with violence enough to slightly tip it and send it slidlas at an angle from the course ot the horses. As the Presidential party and the mourners were approach-Ins the church, a man who probably was more curious than 111-lntendlng was driven from the elevated structure overlooking the entrance.

Inspector Broofts had been instructed Thursday by Police Commissioner to detail all the men he thought necessary to guard the President, as several threat ening letters had been received recently, The Inspector assigned 100 men to guard the approaches to the home of Douglas Robin' son. 422 Madison Avenue, near Fiftieth Street, where the President stopped during hla stay in the city. Mr. Robinson is Mr. Roosevelt's brother-in-law.

1 Down Fifth Avenue for twenty-seven blocks 173 men were stationed, and in the vicinity of the church 223 policemen stood shoulder to shoulder to keep back the big crowd gath cred to see the President Seven mounted men under Sergt. Wood and eight patrolmen under Sergt. Regan were placed at the Twenty-third Street ferry of the Pennsylvania Railway to meet and escort the President to Mr. Robinson's home. Inspector Brooks as his aides Inspectors Walsh, McLaughlin, and Schrolttberger, five Captains, six Ser geants, and six Roundsmen.

These, with the Central Office men, made up the special detail of 500 men, not quite enouv, as events proved, to save the President from the man with the satchel and- the chance of being injured by. a trolleycr. PRESIDENTS i 1 The President end Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by Secretary Loeb, Capt. and Mrs.

Cowles, and Dr. J. B. Stokes, United States Navy, arrived In Jersey City at 7:13, where they were met by Gen. Greene, several detectives, and Secret Service men who have been stationed in New York.

They walked to Gen, Greene's carriage on the ferry, the detectives finding their vehicles on the New York aide of the Guarded by the mounted force, they started for Mr. Robinson's house. They drove up Twenty-fourth Street st a lively pace. At Broadway Police Sergeant Wood signaled a motorman on a south-bound car to slow up. He misunderstood the signal and put on all speed.

John Saunders, the driver of the President's carriage, whipped up his horses Just In time, the fender of the car hitting the nigh hind wheel, throwing it out of the road and slightly jolting- the occupants of the carriage. The one containing the Secret Service men wag saved by the driver throwing the horses to the right. The cavalcade was re-formed and drove rapidly to the home of Mr. Robinson. After breakfast, the President.

Mrs. Roosevelt, and the other members cf his party went to 13 East Forty-eighth Street, the home of the late J. K. Grade. At about 0:30 the cortege, surrounded by about 125 policemen, started down Fifth Avenue for the church.

Inspector Schmlttberger rode in front of the procession in a feeing to it that his men were attending to their duties. The carriages went down Fifth Avenue to Twenty-first Street Many of the people attracted by the sight of a funeral heavily guarded by police realised at once the presence of the President As the procession was Hearing the church Inspector Walsh saw a man leaning over' the railing of the elevated road, directly over the entrance to the church. He was dressed in brown and had a lone, dark beard. The Inspector asked him 'what he was doing there and received an impudent reply. The inspector ordered a cou.

pie of patrolmen to go after the man, and when he sew that he was in danger of arrest -he. fled. Where he went the police could not explain, but they were of the oplrlon that be had run down to the Eighteenth Street station, and had there boarded a train. Shortly before the arrival of the cortege at the church, six small and ragged boys In some manner wormed their way through the police lines and into the church. The gathered them in and were on the point of expelling them when J.

W. Clarke, the sexton, recognised the boys as little friends of the dead man, boys from the Newsboys Home, which Mr. Grade had helped to found and had largely helped fur many years. The boys said that they had come -as a mark of respect to the taan who had been good to them and who bad supplied the Thanksgiving' turkey which they had eaten while he. was lying dead.

Ths boys were ushered to good seats where they could bear the services, see the flower covered casket, the Presidential party and the mourners. Preceding the services C. Whitney Coombs, the organist, played the funeral march from Chopin and two preludes by the same composer. The full vested choir sang the Adoration from Gaul's Holy City and the hymns, Jesus.
