ANXIOUS FOR EoUAL1zING RATES.

Window Glass Men Want a Discrimination
Over Those Whose Fuel is Free.
The demand for window glass continues
unusually light. Local manufacturers are
surprised at the inactive condition of the
market, and do not know to what to contri-
butte it, beyond an unusual degree of the
midsummer dullness incidental to stock
taking. The Philadelphia Gas Company
has given notice ofan advance Of 40 per cent
which means an extra expense to factory
owners of S2o0 year for every 1o-pot fur
mace.
Manufacturers think that they should be
allowed some discrimination in wages over
those factories which have the advantages

J. G. Bennett & Co., No. 447 Wood street,

there is no cause for complaint. while in the

The outlook for the fur trade next winter

81 think a reform is needed in police uni
forms," said Captain Unterbaum last night,
as he opened his blouse and waistcoat and
tried to agitate the atmosphere across his
face with his cap. II think it would be a
good idea to pattern after the London and
European police. In hot weather like this
we should have a light uniform and the
officers would be able to do better work.
Walking around in the sun or on hot
night is not picnic with heavy blouse
buttoned up to the chin. In London and
all the European cities the officers have
uniform of white drilling that is very light
and comfortable. 1t looks like linen and
makes pretty uniform. Every man has
two or three suits and the stuff can be
washed easily.

not tear as easily. If we had such a uni

inois takes his place, and Mr.. McComas
Is still secretary.
The caucus usually adopts the rules
Of the House of Representatives. The
first Democratic caucus in this session
adopted the old rules and subsequent
caucuses are working under them. Tho
Republican caucus uses the new rules.
1t requires the signature OF at least
fifteen members to call caucus. Any
body can send around a call, but the
leader usually does it when he desires
to ascertain the sentiment OF the party
upon any vital issue. In such cases o
page passes around the House and
solicits signatures to the call. They
arc easily obtained.
All caucuses are private. The main
and side entrances to the hall OF tho
House are closed. The only entrance
and exit are through tho Speakers lob
by. This Is guarded at each end by
door'keepers. No one is allowed in the
corridors surrounding the galleries.
Watchmen bar the way up the marble
staircases leading to them. The elevat-
ors take no one above the floor Of
the House. The restaurant, always
open when a night session is held, Is
closed during caucus.

clerks desk at the end OF the session
