PAT HEALEY IN FIRST WARD,
Would it be Wise TO Swap Horses Before the
Stream is Crossed.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
A number of gentlemen from the differ
enJ wards in the city, after business
meeting the other evening, fell TO discuss
ing the danger OF mistakes being made by
new hands at the pillow, and of the work
that had been done by individual citizens
during the past two or three years. Prom
inent among the latter was the name of p.
V. Healey of the first ward. 1t was con-
Guided that few men surpassed him in his
devotion to the city's interests at large
Where would have been that grand opera
house after its fall but for Pat2 He built
that vinegar factury and saved the sash
factory which would have moved 10 an
other town had he not come forward with
his cash. All are in the first ward. He
subscribed one thousand five hundred dol
lars cash to the Dold packing scheme alone.
No man could have been
more enterprising or more true
to the Interests of his ward Or to that
of the city at large than Mr.. Healey has
been and there are few more level headed,
far seeing business men in the city, and it
was the unanimous conclusion of those
present that it would be a misfortune to
the city should he not be returned to the
council. This is the opinion Of the writer
whose name you can attach to this or not,
as you please, but who all the same has all
his possessions as well as his home and has
had for years in this FOURTH WARD.

How Thread Is Numbered.

Everybody knows the sizes Of thread.
Every seamstress knows whether she
wants No. 80 or 60 or 120, and knows,
when she hears the number, about what
S the size of the strand referred to; but
aow the numbers happen to be what they
ue, and just what they mean, not one
person in thousand knows. And yet it
S a simple matter to explain, was the in
formation accorded to reporter by an
employe of one of the largest spool cotton
manufactures in the United States.
When $40 yards Of yarn weigh 1000
grains, pound of cotton, tho yarn Is
No. 1. If 1,6S0 yards weigh pound, it
viii be No. 2 yarn. For r-t.-6e-efs1tsA
would take 80 multiplied by $40 yards u
weigh pound. This is the whole of the
Farn measurement. The early manu-
'actured thread was three cord, and the
thread took its number from the number
IF the yarn from which it was made.
No. 60 yarn made No. 60 thread, though
N point Of fact the actual caliber of No.
20 thread would equal No. 90 yarn, being
hree GO strands.
When the sewing machine came into
iho market as the great consumer, un-
reasoning In its work and inexorable in
is demands for mechanical accuracy,
Iix cord cotton had to be made asa
moother product. AS thread numb6&
we're already established, they were not
Uttered for the new article, and No. so
ix cord and No. GO three cord are iden-
deal in size as well as in number. To
dfect this the six cord has to be made of
iarn twice as firm as that demanded by
he three cord. The No. 60 six cord
would be six strands of No. 100 yarn.
Three cord spool cotton is the same num-
Der as the yarn 1t is made of. Six cord
pool cotton is made -rof yarn that Ia
louble Its number. AS simple a thing
thread is there are 2,OO0 different
dnds made.-New York Mail.
