MR. M'CORMICK
IS SARCASTIC.
IIo lias Deliberated Upon the Inter
view with Hlclinrd It. (tuny and
l'cels Complimented to IIo Known
ns tho Lust Mnn."
Wllllamsport, Aug. 5. In an Interview
this eenlng Attorney General McCor
mlck was asked: "Have you seen the
Intel view with Hiehard H. Quay pub
lished In a Philadelphia moinlng paper
wherein Mi Quay stvh: 'It is all rot.
McCoimlck Is the last man In the state
whom my father would suppoit for gov
ernoi ' "
"Yes, I have lead It with much inter
est, because it bears eidcnce of betng
authoritative."
"Do you desire to say anything In re
ply'" 'I cannot sav that I desire to do so,
but I think it only fair that In this pub
lic way I should acknowledge the com
pliment bestowed upon me. I have nev
er considered the question of being a.
candidate for governor, have not even
talked about It with my closest filends.
I suppose there must be n million people
more or less, eligible to tho olllce of
governor of Pennsylvania, and to be
selected ns "the Inst man whom my
father would support' Is an unexpect
ed compliment. The man whom Senat
or Quay supports for governor next
j ear, he will, ns a matter course, expect
to control, and thus prevent Independ
ent Judgment on the part of the execu
tive. This Is a price no self-respecting
mnn can pay for the gubei tutorial
nomination. Hence the Implied com
pliment In being 'the Jast man In the
state whom my father would support'."

paign this fall, Mr Deemer Fald: "I
''an answer that by sivlng that the

to one man power In politics; Its mem

1WTIIEK or tiiiktv-.vixi:.
Family So Largo That Not All of
Them Are Acquainted w ith One
Auotlicr.
From the St. Louis Hepubllc.
Dave Vltltoe, 10 yeuis old, a malailal
lesldent at the City Hospital, is
blessed far bejond the nvergage mor
tal In the ties of blood. He Is much be
famllled In fact, though Dave Is ac
quainted with most of his brothers
and slsteis, there are two or three to
whom he has never received nn' Intro
duction When It Is known that the
children of his fnther.a wealthy farmer
and horse trainer In Brecklntldge
county, Kentucky, numbered at last
leports thirty-nine, this circumstance
will not seem remaikab'e.
The elder Vltltoe has I fen three times
married His oldst sor Is 47 ears of
age That Is also the age of his pres
ent wife, the mother of Dave, by whom
he has had twenty-two children.
Theie aie thliteen ehildien jounger
than Dave, who Is 1G yeats old. Dave's
private opinion Is that the total num
ber of ehildien Is forty, as he has not
heard fiom home for some time.
Of this Immense family, twenty
seven ehildien, accoidlng to Dave's
best lecollectlon, aie now alive. Just
how many aie boys and how many
girls he is not able to say, but he Is
convinced that the boys outnumber
the girls considerably. All the boys
except the veiy little chaps are earn
ing their own living, though Dave
says the old man Is In a position to
support them all, should It become
necessaiy. Most of them ate Jockejs
or horse tiatuers, having Inhcilted the
father's love of horse Hesh, and having,
as Dave bays, "giown up with tho
colts In the stable."
One remnrkable feature of this Im
mense family Is that theie bus never
been a duplicate birth. There are no
twins, triplets, or other combinations.
IVCHHAM: OI CITY POPULATION
From Scrlbner's.
More than one-third of tho entire popu

cities. In some states It Is much greater;
In Massachusetts, 70 per cent.; in New
York, CO per cent.; In Clnnectlcut, 51 per
cent.; In New JeiHey, 52 per cent. In 1790
thero were but six "cities" I e,, having
a population of moie than S.OuO-ln li0
there were 413 such cities. In 1810 theio
but three cities with more than 100,000
Inhabitants; in l&K) there wero twenty
ehrht such cities. In 1870 thero was no
city having 1,000,000 inhabitants; in IS'jO
there were thrco such cities, in ISM the
now New York Is estimated to contain
3,200,000 In habitants, or nearly as many
as tho thirteen United Stales when

manifesting a desire to expedite the
settlement of the peace negotiations,
owing to the stialtcned state of the
Exchequer rendeilng It possible under
the present circumstances to contract
a new loan, becnuso of the unhealthy

where many of the soldiers are dying,
and for political icasons, the attitude
of Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegto
being regarded as threatening.
The Turkish minister for foreign af
fairs. Tew fix Pasha, replying to In
qutiies made by the nmbassadois ot

of the dlstlnntlon of the Turkish fleet,

the admirals In command of the fleets
of the powers have decided to oppose,
by foice If necessary, the entry of the
Turkish squadron Into Cretan waters,
where precautions have already been
