ths pan.Americun Congress do not flnd It q
vary easy task 10 escape the clutches Of John
Wapamaker the PHILADELPHIA merchant With
h,s fine eye for business. the Postmaster Cen
sral recognizes the value Of these foreigners
as advertising mediums, and he means TO
ntige them for oil they are worth. The leo
ture on the subject OF his great shop in the
Quaker City. which he gave them while they
we're thore, is evidently TO be supple
msnted by chapters OF information to
be furnished the delegates in sections as
lopc as they remain In Washington.

master-General to use the Pan-Americans as
Advertising agents ia SO entirely original and
upioue as to cause some OF the delegates great
amusement. Others. whose sense OF humor
has not been developed to the finest point, are
Inclined 10 be indignant at Mr.. Wanamaker's
pursuit OF them. This scheme, which has come
? 10 light to-day, is this:

attaches and their wives, Mr. Wanamaker has
