The Philadelphia 72ases' New York COR
respondent telegraphs: a medium.Eizsd
man, with dark hair and mouatache and
dressed in o business mans attire, ran up
the brownstone steps leading into the
national Democratic headquarters, and
requested on assistant sergeant alarms to
direct him to Chairman Brice's room.
He was escorted up stairs, and when he
stood in front of the red headed political
organizer from, Ohio he drew plain
envelope from pocket, and, as he ex-
tended the hand holding it, he said:
"Mr. Brice, here is little contribution
to continue national blessing in Grover
Oleyeland's retention in the Presidential
chair. The country has never seen bet
ter President, and, as o good citizen, I
wish to contribute my mite to the educR-
ton of the people on the Issues Of the
campaign
AS Chairman Brioe received the en-
velope the man turned md walked away.
The former, removing the Enclosure found
to his surprise that 1t was yellow-backed

"Hold on p he shouted after the re.
treating figure, ''giye US your name,
pleass."
E7tNeyer mind that" said the stranger,
waving hand in farewell; ''simply credit
/. to "A friend Of good cause.h Then
he lightly bounded down stairs and disap-
peared without leaving the slightest trace
Of his identity.
THAT incident strikingly illustrates the
manner in which the appeal Of Ohairmeu
Barnum and Brice for campaign funds
has been met. Treasurer Candies mail il
heavy with contributions from every state
, in the Union, and the gratifying feature
Of these subscriptions is the fact thai

enforcement or of emanatiDg only iron
offioe-holders.
. In fact the foremost frequent contri
, buttons are single 81 notes sent viii
