PLATE GLASS AT HOME OF H. A.
ROWE IS SHATTERED.
MRS. ROWE BADLY FRIGHTENED
Despite the Efforts of Six Extra Po
licemen to Prevent Damage , Some
Miscreant Sent n Stone Into a Val
uable Window on South Fifth Street.
Despite HIP fnrt ( lint six extra po-
llcomcn pntrollod tlio town lust night
to protect tlio property Interests nliout
tlio city , tliero was damage done In nt
least one plnee of n serious nature.
Tills was nt tlio lionie of Mr. anil Mrs.
Howard A. Howe on South Fifth street ,
where ti huge rock , twice the size of
one's lituul , wns hurled through a mam
moth and splendid plate glass window ,
shattering It Into fragments , and tor-
rlhly frightening Mrs. Howe , who was
all alone In the house at the time.
The miscreant was not apprehended |
and Is unknown. j
It was early In the evening that the ]
rock was thrown into the window.
Mrs. Howe snt nil nlono In the home
nnd was startled suddenly by a erash
In the parlor of the homo. There was
the clatter of hroken glass and a heavy
thud as the hlg stone dropped , its
mischief done , on the tloor Inside the
house. Mrs Howe felt the nerve shock
tremendously and had hardly recov
ered from the effects even this morn
ing.
ing.A
A motive for the deed in unknown ,
excepting that some miserable wretch ,
locating a spot unwatched by an offi
cer , spent his diabolical spirit by injur
ing the nearest window he could find.
The loss on the plato glass Is heavy.
Asldo from this , no serious damage
has hncn reported today. Sidewalks
at South Norfolk were overturned
qnlto generally and along Norfolk av
enue black paint was used on windows
of many of the business houses , which
caused serious inconvenience and dam
age in some places.
No arrests were made , although po
licemen were on the lookout contin
ually.

The News office knows better , though ,
because there Isn't a cow In the list' '
of property of the whole force put together -
gether not one. And so the Inform

of the beast and left word that if the
cow was really the cow ho was after ,
ho could be located by telephone. Tim
parties whom ho Interviewed evident
ly took him for a newspaper man and
thus sent word to this office. The cow
was glad to get home again today ,
though she admitted she had enjoyed
the lark.

YELLOW JOURNALIST IS MAKING
WHIRLWIND CAMPAIGN.
i
I
I IT IS PARALLEL TO CHICAGO
At First It Wna Considered He Had no
Chance In the World to Win , Hut , no
Did Dcmocrnts In Chicago , His
Strength Is Gaining.
Washington , Out. liS. The mayoral
ly campaign In gieater Now York la
absolutely unique In the history of
thai city , and II bus but ouu parallel
In the history of Amerlc-in munlclpall
ties. That la the mayoiauy contest In
Chicago , last spring , lesultlng In the
election of Judge Dunn and In the d < >
feat of John M. llarlan , tlio republican
nominee. .
The republican organization In Chicago
cage thought it had the situation so
well In hand last spring that whomso
ever it might nominate for mayor
would be elected by an overwhclmlm ;
majority. When llarlan walked off
with the nomination II was conceiled
that his election was as good as o
cured , llarlan and all his friends felt
tills way about It , and HO did ( ha leadIng -
Ing demociats.
llarlan had been nominated on a
conservative munlcipiil ownership plat
form. The republicans of Chicago , In
that platform , had taken advanced
mound , and H was widely believed
tliiil they would attract practically the
whole of the socialist and labor vole ,
usually strongly democratic , and that
Marian's majority would bo so large
as to make him a gubernatorial and
possibly a presidential possibility. |
lint what actually happened ? ThO |
democrats , feeling that the ground had
been cut fiom beneath their f ° et bvi
the lepubllcan platform , reallvod that
their only chance for victory lay In
their taking a poMtion of ultra radical
ism. They would declare for niunlci- '
pal ownership In a way that would :
make the republican position seem
ultra conservative , and thus would
hope to attract the labor and socialist' '
vote , then inclining to llarlan , and 10-
tain control of the city. j
The democratic cltv convention met
and adopted the proposed radical plat
form. Judge Dunne was made the
nominee for mayor , and then a cam- ,
palgn was begun which , on the demo- ,
cratlc sldo "carried 'the war Into Af !
rlca. " Appeals were made to class
|
prejudice nnd hatred ; the rich were
reviled and the poor were applauded , '
and It was made to appear that the re
publican position , while seeming to
cater to the laboring classes , was , in
fact , a position that was entirely sat
isfactory to all the various financial In
torosts.
The Dunne campaign did not show
its strength at the beginning , and it ,
was not until a week or two before
election that the republicans began to
realize that they had a fight on their !
hands. The development of the Dunne ,
campaign , at Ilrat a matter of surprise
became at last a matter of alarm At
the close of the campaign public sent
iment was unable to say with certain- ;
tv who would be elected , and when. '
after the votes bad been counted , I
Dunne was found to have won. the
city was not surprised.
The mayoralty campaign in Now
York has thus far reproduced practic
ally all these features except the last.
The municipal ownership leaders In
New York , deciding that the position
of McClellan and Tammany was not
radical enough for their purpose , held
a convention of their own and demanded - ,
ed of Hearst that he bo their candi-i
date for mayor ,
Tammany is not yet ready to con
cede that Hearst will be elected ; as
a matter of fact , It claims vociferously
that McClellan will win ; but it Is note
worthy that this claim Is no longer
coupled with large figures.
| The Tammany leaders are under
stood to he pretty thoroughly alarmed. ]
I They are now engaged in beating the
bushes to bring out their forces. The
count of noses resulting from this process - (
[ cess is far from being satisfactory ; !
hut apparently there Isn't anything ]
! thai can bo donu lo impiovu the con
dition. The Tammany lorces are up
against the municipal ownership Idea ,
just as Chicago was up against it in
the spring , and while Hearst may not
bo elected , It Is now conceded that
his vote will he very large , possibly
exceeding that cast for the republican
candidate for mayor. And even his
election Is well within the bounds of
possibility.
DEAD BABY ON TRAIN.
Infant Died at Plttsburg In Mother's
Arms , and Was Carried to Kenosha.
Chicago , Oct. 30. A dispatch to the

LIVING COST HAS INCREASED
The Poor nnd the Moderately Well to
do Housekeeper In Chicago Will Not
Get R.ibbit Stew as Cheaply as
Heretofore Wages High.
Chicago , Oct. 27. Thanksgiving day
this year gives promise of being any
thing hut an occasion for giving
thanKs on the part of the small house
holder , the man who works for a liv
ing or the moderately poor , to say
nothing of those extremely poor who
have been accustomed to the treat of
rabbit stow at the soup kitchens as
a means of stimulating their gratitude.
Not only are prices soaring on what

ties are also mounting upward nt an
alarming rate.
Inquiries at markets for all kinds of
viands reveals an Increase of from 10
per cent to 25 per cent over last year
and In every case the expressed opin
ion was that present conditions were
favorable compared to what might bo
nxnocted In the immediate future.
The wages of the working man , however -

than they have boon , that he will have
reason to give thanks , after all. Nev
