NOW THOUGHT ~W.l HEARST WILL ACCEPT! g on Gaynor He Hoped the Judge Would At tack-Tammany in His Speech. v" The Leaguers Expect Him to ~ Accept. . . ,? New York. Oct. ?. ? William R. Hearst, It la confidently believed by those who aro closely- associated with him In hia political work, will conaent to run for- mayor on an independent ticket. The committee appointed by the meeting In Cooper Union on Wed nesday night to ask Mr. Hearst to be come % candidate for the mayorality, waited on him today and appealed to ? hha to get Into tho fight. Mr. Hearst refused 10 commit him- 1 self until he had time to qQnslder| the mallei fuilhei, aud said he wot reply definitely within 24 houra. It waa explained by some of Mr. Hear8t's friends tha^Jhe was waiting to see what Judge Oaynor said In hla speech of acceptance of the Tammaqy nomination. It waa the understand^ lng of ' these spokesmen for Mr. Hearst that ft Judge Qayno? would announce that he would not be a cat'a paw for Tammany, even though he accepted the nomination of that body. Mr. Hearat would decline to head a ticket, 'and would support the candl daey Of Judge Qaynor. Gaynor Let Tammany Alone. ? Judge Oaynor said- never a word I that would be taken amiss by Tam ~~niany, and in consequence the belief | was that Mr. Hearst will make anoth er fight thla year for the mayorality.' Judge Qaynor' a brief apeech In re ply to tfa notification committee served also as an acceptance of the in dorsements of several Independent and semi-Independent organisations, whoee representatives were present. -There was no denunciation of any: body in Mr. Osynor's speech, eaeept a mild one^o f Mr. Bansrd, the Repub lican candidate for mayor, as a col lector of campaign contributions. MI resign my present office," said Mr. Ohynor, "only to dedicate and de vote the nisxt fobr years cjf my. life to the service of the people of New York. This great city Is made up of people of every race, belief, and way of thinking. Let us live and act to gether without hostility, prejudice, or uncharitableness." Tammany Leaders Absent. -~.l- .^1.., he mentioned were the two who re ceived their notifications at his home with - him ? Robert R. Moore, the nominees for comptroller, and John "F.

Seemingly, the, strong tip* that Qaynor Intended to 1 TtOT foifflighod over the dignity of Sir.

Typographic orrora are one of the ? chief banes of a newspaper man's ex istence. In the rush of dally news paper maklng ^proofs" are read hur riedly, or sometimes not at all, and occasionally the result in the prlikted Drodnet ls ^ ?For instance, the' story la told, of an " editor who recently wrote a "puff" for the belle of the ball, saying; "Her -dainty feet were Incased in shoes. thaL boots," but the blundering operated n*de It read: "HttJIrty feel ~ were ' ? .fc incased in ?hoes that might hare been taken tdt ferrr-boat* " AN OFFENSE NOW VIOLATED $5.00 Fine for Anyone to Mo ^lest or Interfete With Pas sengers at Depots.

In 1899, Mra* Maggie Arthur Call had members of her children chapter present and-Tfl^velled in the North Carolina room th the Richmond museum a .portrait of Gen.

Now, you let some-one else try that same Ifttle clown trick and It's not funny at all.^ The clown, today oocuples an even more exalted position with the' circus than he did thirty or forty years agp.

Curtlss said the machine would be ready for service tomorrow. George Francois Ozmont, who isj here with the Farman biplane which won the endurance prize at Rhelms. attempted three times at dusk to fly. He circled the field several times, but not fast enough to get off the ground. A monoplane bullton the lines of La tham'* machine by U. A. Robinson, of St. Louis, was brought out. but the motor failed to develop sufficient power. Roy Knabenshue, Lincoln Beachley and Thomas Baldwin gave exhibitions In dirigibles. Baldwin made an ex tended flight, Tnrt motor trouble forced him to land In the crowd. The w?cond flight, &Ttei* repairs,' was greeted with great applause. Knab enHhue.and Beachley mounted simul taneously and flew about 2 miles side by side.

How healthy it is to move through tho crowd, have yqur mouth filled with confetti, hat dismantled, collar torn asunder, patt of your limbs slcinned? IsiL'i ,it_Jus_t glorious Jo get mixed up in such a throng? One minute one inhales the sweet aroma of heliotrope, the next the fuiftes of Barley-corn poisons the air. Howls, sbrieks, profanity, vul garity, smutty sayings, come and go; and yet the people go Just the same and carry their children. * Yes, the whole town has been this week;- nearly every night the same faces are to~W"~5een=The~rame dor portment exhibited ? the same man ner of familiarity adopted. It has al ways been passing strange how some folk mingle and familiarize with' each other at a public place like a carnival, yet in their parlo/a at home, they are strangers. They laugh together, hr^g, each other, swap jokes, are hale-fel low-well-met- when ? the- "BIB ? Bliow " comes. They think they are not no-j tlced by other folk, but they are. -This state of things Is not confined -to1 Young America, not by a "jugful; the grownups are Just as guilty. "The -behavior and conduct of peo ple attending the carnival this week has been anything else but praise worthy. person attired a little out of the ordinary dared to go through the crowd, for It meant personal flings, unkind remarks, face full of confetti and clothing made the worse for his experience. Now there Is no ; excuse for such deportment, and the Dally, News regrets that ^h^ commu nity 'tn which it. circulates and is try ing to uplift, so far forgets ttself as to lose all self respect when carnivals visit the city. The ladies that visit these places have no conception or idea of the many remarks made about them by the bystanders. These payings are not heard, however, if their denorPj I mont I.nnimpilnl.lp- r.f thic ibe>v . I can rest assured.

In 1865 he helped to sup | press a revolution In Salvador, and six years later he participated in. the attack, on the 8a lee river fortfr In Ko rea. One of the most brilliant inci dents of his entire career came In 1?84. when "he commanded the Greely relief extradition to the Arctic region, and rescued i?t?\iten ant Greely and the oihkr sjx survivors of h la expedi tion in the froten North. In 1891 he eonyeyed the remains of John Or les son to Sweden, for which he received a gold medal frotaf the king of Swe den.
