LIFE IN AN ELEVATOR.
The BOY says That Tough Is No Name
for the job.
When I'm up, I'm up,

When I'm up, I'm up,
And when Pm down, I'm down,
And when Pm half way up,
Then Pm neither up nor down.
That WAS the elevator boys song.
When he had sung it he sighed. The
solitary passenger asked: Whats the
matter with you?"
"Oh," said the elevator boy, "this
here profession o. mine makes me tired.
It's so different ali the time. First I'm
up in the world, an then I'm down, an

A rKIsUTE FRoM a ZOE.

The Philadelphia Press does not favor
the low-grade politics which many of
its party contemporaries are engaging
in by giving aid and comfort TO EDWARD
MURPHY's senatorial candidacy in New
York in the belief that by so doing
they are embarrassing the Democrats
and iujuring Mr.. CLEVELAND.
The Press reads lesson to its party
associates who are on this lower plane
when it says: "Mr. CLEvELAND's pub
lie and unreserved declaration against
the election Of Mr. MURPHY as the
Democratic Senator from New York is
quite characteristic Of the man, and al
together creditable to him. Measured
by the ordinary political standards, it
is a political mistake for the President
elect thus to meddle ia a S enatorial
contest. But it is by such frank and
honest expressions that Mr.. CLEVELAND
has gained much Of his hold on the
confidence Of the people"

A GIFTED PROOF READER.
He Reads in e42 Languages and Dialects
Yet Gets Only a21 Week


Yet Gets Only 621 Week
A New York dispatch says: A most
interesting illustration OF the marvel
Gus capacity of the human Drain Is
found in the person Of an employe OF a
publishing house in this city. his du-
ties consist Of proof reading In 242 IAN
gusges and dialects.
At the Bible House on Fourth avenue
the American Bible Society employs 10
proof reader Mr.. j. Emery Mclean.
he is a native OF Canada, nearly thirty
years of age, quite six feet two inches
In stature, and has been q resident OF
New York about four years. ASIDE
from his trying task as proof reader ne
has found considerable time to devote
10 literary work, which. during the life
of the late Count Norriakow, Russian
exile. included the correct English
ing" of the Counts transl&tions of Rus
sian works, and since the demise OF the
nobleman, Mr.. Mclean has aided the
Countess Ella Norriskow 70 some extent
in her labors.
Mr.. McLean's functions as a proof
reader cover the final revision OF the
proofs Of the Holy Scriptures as printed
and circulated by the society, the lam
guages and dialects (242 in uumberl
that he handles being designated under
these heads: British Isles, to 6; Con-
ainent of Europe, 5 TO 6S: Asia, 60 to
1872; the Islands, 1913 to 1S5; Africa, lS6
to 217: American continent, 2lS TO 242.
For a fact, ia many cases the specimens
of proofs show the different alphabets
or characters which the people use.
The Turkish version, for example, Is
prepared for Moslems In the Arabic let
ter, but for Armenians an entirely dlf-
ferent form is needed, and for Greeks
yet another; thus, mekiug due allow
ance for repetltions, the specimens
(242) actually represent about 2l3 IAN
guageS and dialects.
After taking into account the Won
derIul versatility Of brain necessary TO
cope with the almost endless number OF
words and characters in these Ian
guages, perhaps the strangesv feature
of his remarkable gift is the fact that
Mr.. Mclean is not a lingGist-does not
converse in any language but English,
nor does be understand any other, his
work being done purely through his
pn,c er of embracing form at sight.

ONLY ONE DEao0RATIo CANDIDATE
For q. s. Senator in New York, and Thai
One is Edward murphy.

For u "a senator IN new 1OrA, onU ~A-He
One is Edward Eurphy.
New YORK, January $50 far as the
general public has been able to leara,
there is but one acknowledged Demo
cratic candidate for u. 8. Senator In the
State. That one is Edward Murphy.
Several prominent Democrats have been
suggested as possible candidates but as
vet none of them has had the hardl-
hood to enter the race against the
Tammany leader. There is out little
doubt expressed that he will succeed
Mr.. Hiscock, the present incumbent, In
the Senate at Washington. Referring
to the contest the Herald's Albany cor
respondent says: The edict has been
issued. Democrats In both branches
Of the Legislature were formally noti-
fed to-day of the will Of the "oosses"
respecting the Senatorial caucus. The
general public had learned several days
ago of the machines determination to
force the fighting II there is to be any
on Edward Murphy's candidacy.
Therefore there VIII not be much sur
prise at the announcement thas the eau
Gus is called fully 4 week ahead OF the
usual time at which the important
question is settled as to who will repre-
sent New York's great interests In the
Federal Senate.
But the advocates Of Mr.. Cleveland's
ideas have not yet given up all hope OF
helping him defeat Mr.. Murphy.
II is said that there are just ten de-
termined anh-Murphy voters In the
Senate and Assembly, and that they
have not yetgiven up their hope OF get
ting aid from Kings county. Why they
base their hopes on Brooklyn defec-
tion is beyond finding out.
1t is true that Senators Brown, Nc
Clelland and McMakon are chatting at
the prospect ahead Of them but neither
seems disposed to declare himself as
greater than his organization. About
all the prominent politicians in the
State will attend the conference. II is
the intention of the machine men to
make this meeting historical, and II
there is any chance to rub the "vic-
tory" in on the Cleveland contingent,
the opportunity will not be lost.

DR.. Kitchens, of Eccleston square,

the detailed work, who have immediate
charge over the administration, are
in practically all cases permanently en-
ployed, and are not molested when a
ministerial change is made. The line
Of division between the Liberal and the
Conservative parties in England is quite
as broad as between the Republicans
and Democrats in this country, yet the
great army of government employees
permanently employed go on simply
performing the duty they are directed
to undertake.
II the English system were followed
in this country, the incoming admins
tration would appoint Secretary Of
the Treasury, and, perhaps, one or two
assistants to him, but there the change
in the treasury department would end,
and the various prominent treasury Off
cials at Washington, and the collectors
of the customs and of internal revenue
throughout the country, with the null
tude of those who form their chief as
sistants. and who are not included in
the classified services would continue
on with no change.
Civil service reform, however, will
have to receive far more thorough
endorsement from Congress and the
people before this plan is adopted in
this country. We are not ready for the
barnacle system yet.

John Lyman the large and good nat
ured conductor on passenger train on
the Lehigh Valley Railroad running be-
tween this city and Freeland had mar
row escape from instant death on Thurs
day. The Lumber Yard was the scene
of the almost fatal accident.
John was engaged in tagging freight
train which was backing towards him
and on the track he was standing.
Failing to move quickly enough the
bumper of the front car struck him on
the shoulder. The force of the collision
knocked him into the ditch. Had he
been knocked down on the spot where
he stood the cars would have passed
over him and death would have been
the result.

Novelties Made of Coal,

James Cunningham's coal goods fac
tory, at Summit Hill, is turning out large
orders for the Worlds fair. The goods
are handled in the fair building by John
Evans, former resident of Summit
Hill, who has a position iu the mining
department. Mr.. Evans reports that
they are selling quite freely.
He experiences much difficulty to con-
vince western people that the articles,
which consist of all sorts of useful and
ornamental novelties, are in reality
manufactured from pure anthracite.
The statement is too astounding to them
to believe, and even some of the direc-
tors of the fair considered the business a
fake and at first refused to give Mr..
Evans stand on which to exhibit.
