NEW YORK LETTER
NEW YORK, Dec. 9-By far the
ftrcest attempt at political resurree
tjea that Tammany Hall has ever es
s perieneed has to-day been begun in
this city by the local democratic lead
ers, who are already facing with (ear
the city election eleven long months
ahead. Entering aboot the wily Cro
fcer nd the resourceful Mnrphy.
cores of prominent politicians of ev
ery degree of democracy are frantical
ly scheming for the rehabilitation of
, the local party forces that are still
scattered and paralyaed from the
Hatching of their stronghold by Taft
The dragging of Jerome out into the
Emeltght as a receptive Moses at the
recent Crolter banquet is privately ac
knowledged today by these men to be
the first frtiits of their desperate stmg
, gle to right and re-enforce their bat
tered machine in this city. By hook or
by crook they are determined to rally
to one standard every shred of demo
cratic strength in Greater New York
against the coming campaign. Unless
a fresh touch of enthusiasm and in
. terest can be supplied within the next
six months, the Tammany leaders at
present believe that the city may eas -
By slip from out their grasp. Gotham

this winter than she has in many s

T. Yerkes by foreclosure of the mys
terious mortgage upon hs famous gal
lery, some slight stir has today been
made by the authorities here toward
putting in the public's claim, That the
dead magnate had intended his price
less collection to enrich posterity as
part of the public museums of this
city seems evident to those who are
looking into the matter. Tardy action
by the controller, or corporation coun
sel may yet avail to secure these art
gems to the city from which they are
apparently slipping for a comparative
ly insignificant interest payment, As
love of art has never yet proved much
of an incentive to the office hold res o
this town, however, it seems much
more probable to-day that private
purchasers will eventually gobble up
the masterpieces of Yerkes and hear
thera away forever from all chance of
becoming a public enjoyment.
PUBLIC PERIL
That life and limb are now held n
constant jeopardy by the press of traf
fic in every thoroughfare on this is
land is to-day being called to the at-
tention of the public by a score of
jran - away and run-over accidents that
! have occurred within the last few
i day. Most conspicuous of these is the
serious mishap which the celebrated
surgeon McCosh met in broad day
light on one of the quieter op-town
streets. For a dozen years or more the
sight of this famous operator driving
his pair of horses steadily and slcill-

familiar one to New Yorkers. With
all his experiences and caution as a
reinsman. McCosh fell foul of the
highway impediments at last and was
picked wp barely breathing. Hundreds
of other veteran horsemen are to-day
proclaiming the streets of town un
safe as a driveway and many a motor

of "downtown traffic. On the poor ped
estrian the brunt of the danger falls
harder each day of the season.
CARING FOR CHILDREN.
While greater gatherings may have
been held here this week in the inter
ests of grown-ups, the friends of child
welfare the country over have watch
ed with supreme interest the annual
i conference of the adult workrs for the
little citizens of the George Junior
Republics, who have mapped out an
other vear s broad work from tnu
eity to-day. The continuance of the
self-cure of hundreds of youngsters,
gone wrong at the start of life, de
pends on the annual efforts of the
many friends of this movement in the
Empire State, from which tiny repub
lics have been spread to California.
Maryland and Connecticut. Though
the impress of the times that are past
has today left the pinch of poverty at
Freville and elsewhere, it is believed
Aat good times for these boys and
girls, who are being given their only
chance to right themselves, may be
brought back within the smaller re
publics as well as outside. New York
has a warm spot in its heart for her
original George Junior Republic, and
to-day it seems assured that the
youngsters need not look here for
support in vain.
COSTLY CARPETING.
That J. P. Morgan has just covered
twenty-five square feet of the floor of
his Murray Hill mansion with some
ten thousand dollars worth of Chi
nese carpeting ha not unduly startled
the metropolis to-day. This railroad
magnate has a way of diverting his
divided receipts into rich and rare
house trappery that has for years set Elophnnt strode l-i and out with luiu

The brownstone palace to which this
rare rug has gone is the apple of the
stout old financier's eye and no one
doubts that he would pave its hails
with gold if it were shown him that
this were the proper artistic caper.
One princely rag of carpet more or
less is a matter of little moment to
Morgan, though its price would seem
a fortune to most of the men on Man
hattan Island.
