PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
How It Affected a Business Mans
Credit Twenty Years Ago.

As q well-known banker alighted
from his carriage in Wall street
yesterday an old merchant turned &c
your correspondent and said; u
remember the time when a mans
credit would have suffered if a bust
ness man came to his Office in q
carriage. In those days one was
looked upon With suspicion if he
carried cane, unless he was actual
ly lame. A man would have had
difficulty in arranging loan at his
bankers if he wore mustache, as 1t
was considered the appendage OF a
sport. | well remember that when,
as young man, began to cultivate
the growth of hair on my upper lip,
my employer gave me a friendly
warning. Yet one could then 60 to
business in what is now evening
dress, and yet be considered as prop
erly, though elegantly, attired. NOW
a man would be hooted at in the
streets if he should wear his evening
dress in the daytime. But times
have changed greatly, or rather
fashion has, for human nature is the
same. After long business career
my deliberate Judgment is that it
pays to wear good clothes, fashion
ably made. l remember when as q
boy began my business career at
six dollars q week. l was sent on
an errand to swell tailor's estab-
lishment of the city. After | had
done my errand the tailor looked me
over, and, noticing my country
made clothes, said to me that ought
to order a new suit explained to
him my financial condition, when he
said to me kindly: My boy, what
ever it might cost, it would be the
best business investment you could
make. With tashionably cut gar
ments on your own confidence and
self-esteem will be enhanced, and
other people will think better OF
you,' and he generously offered to
make me suit and let me pay for it
whenever l could. or not at all, He
was right 1t was as good an in
vestment as l could have made, for /
believe the habit it gave me OF al
ways wearing good clothes helped me
in my business career. l
traded with that tailor for over 30
years. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

How the Ferris Wheel viii Help
Those on Lake Michigan.

The Ferris wheel, which has begun
operations at its new location near
Lincoln park, will be more than a
means of passing away an idle hour,
says the Chicago Record. When the
big circle is illuminated by electric
lights it will be guide to mariners
which can be seen from farther than
the lighthouse, the Auditorium
tower or even the glare Of the Ma
sonic Temple roof garden. The by
drogr aphic Office considers the per-
manent location of the wheel at the
corner of North Clark street and
Wrightwood avenue of such impor-
lance that the light has been given
place on the charts of the lake. In
a recent bulletin issued from the
office the wheel is mentioned as the
most prominent landmark on the
west shore. The government officials
will be notified when the wheel is
lighted, and supplement will be
issued to chartholders.
The wheel is visible at a much
greater distance now than when it
was on the Midway. 1t is half a
mile nearer the lake shore and is on
higher ground. The height Of the
wheel from the ground is 274 feet,
while the height above the lake level
is 305 feet. On a clear day the roofs
and steeples of Michigan City, Ind,
can be seen, while the residents OF
Michigan City and st. Joseph, when
the wheel starts, can sit on their
porches on a clear evening and count
the revolutions. With glass the
wheel may be seen from Milwaukee,
though the meanderings of the shore
line prevent clear view.

Gold Hunters Hungry.


Terrible news of restitution and
suffering from cold and hunger Sits
southwark from the Alaskan gold
fields. The rigors of the Arctic
weather make gold hunting among
the Alaskan glaciers probably the
most hazardous quest in which
miners can engage. The coast land
ing places are overrun with venture
some spirits in search of fortunes,
many of whom are either untitled for
the physical hardships they must en-
dure or ignorant of the risks in
volved. The story of their troubles
is most pitiful. At last accounts po-
tatoes were selling in some of the
mining regions for 800 a sack.

A Little Girls Escape.

ROSY AND PLUMP.
Ut. NItEs' Dance Checked-A Loving
Daughter Saved.
(tFrom the Rnnsas Citu, No, Journal

4. CtFron the Kansas City, No., JourndL.D
The following possesses an interest to the
Journal and its readers, because the case
Is of great value from q medical point OF
view, and further because it is sworn to and
Its truth absolutely proven. The case de-
scribed is that Of the daughter of L. L.
Barbor of Edgerton, Kan, who being duly
sworn on oath deposes and says:
During the spring of the current year,
1898, my daughter BERTHE, aged Is years be.
came afflicted with nervous disease which
grew upon her to such an extent that it ST.
riously interf.red with her studies, and
aroused the gravest fears that it would de-
velop into St Vitus' dance. My daughter
became so nervous that she would drop her
knife and fork while eating, and would at
times be seized with nervous twitchings
which excited the alarm Of myself and wife.
About this time my wife read in a news
paper of wonderful cure Of the same disease
effected by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. So strongly was impressed with
the facts set forth in the testimonial that l
wrote to ascertain the authenticity of the
case. Receiving reply which completely
satisfied me, sent for a box of the pills.
From the very 6r5t dose q mGricd i'm.
provemsnt in my daughters condition was
noticed. She had become thin and excess
sively pale, as is common to sufferers from
nervous diseases, and her weight hsl de-
creased to an alarming extent. After a
careful and thorough trial of the pills. she
not only began TO grow leas nervous but also
began TO gain flesh.
il is need ess tn say that was both sur.
prised and delighted with the wonderful
chance brought about BY the 6rst box of the
pills Sire is q new girl, and all the symp-
toms of her disease have disappeared. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have certainly wrought
q wonderful and comOlete cur. and can
say nothing too good in their favor. But
now she is away on visit, SOM timing she
would not have thou rat Of being able to do
three months ago. From being shrinking,
morbid and timid she has become strong,
healthy girl with no appearance of ever
having been aialctel with any hrvous tron-
Ibles. The pills have done wonders, and
take great pleasure in recC amending them
to all who are af. cted WITH similar
disease. (Signcd) L. L. BARBoB.

Japs Want American saIm on.

A supply of Columbia river salmon
spawn is soon to be sent to Japan,
the government of that country be-
ing anxious to ascertain if the
salmon can be propagated in
Japanese waters. There are some
salmon in Japanese rivers, but the
supply is far short of the demand.
The fish commissioners have agreed
to furnish the eggs, which will be
taken to Japan in few days and
placed in an artificial lake near
Yokohama.

in the second pickerel was five-inch

In its issue for last week the Sussex
Republican calls special attention Ia
the election OF delegates to the county
convention TO be held at Georgetown
ON July l4th, for the purpose Of nomi.
mating a partisan ticket for the
constitutional Convention. The Re.
publican says:
This matter should be thoroughly
agitatod and tho people Of the county
completely awakened 10 the Importance
OF taking the selection Of the members
OF the Constitutional Convention out oi
the hands of the different political par
ties. Ten uames selected from both
political parties, men TO whom no true
objection can be made, and selected by
the honest constitutional sentiment OF
the. county, will not BIO legally BOT

The uncertainty existing in the pres
ent campaign will compel the leaders
OF any party or part thereof to consider

desire for constitutional reform along

The persistent persecution Of Single
IaA speakers In various towns down
the State has reached point that de.
mands stern restrictive measures. The
browning outrage was committed in
Dover last week, when Single Tax
advocate was committed to Jail for
thirty days, simply for insisting upon
ms right to address public meeting.
lho charge against him was maintain
ing nuisance by obstructing the sido.
walk, but as far as this violation of a
veryproper town ordinances was concern.
ed. ikRhould loo borne in mind that IL
was the people Who blocked the sidewalk
That wero gully Of an illegal act. and
not the speaker. The action of the
justice in committing this man, crank
and fanatic though he may be, to the
county Jail for thirty days, ms though
he were a common tramp, is an out.
rage that merits the severest con
domination.
1t is face that the advocates of the
wild and Indifferent Single Tax system
not only invite, but actually provoke
this system o, persecution. 1t is only
by these means that they are able TO
Keep their cause before the people. In
communities where they are permitted
to babble away without interference.
they do not create a ripple upon the
surface OF public events They do not
even constitute passing diversion.
They are simply ignored, because they
are a tiresome lot of empty takers,
who have nothing impressive to say
about their pet theory, and no ability
to say anything Of interest or effect,
even il there was basis for sound and
Impressive argument in heir tax
method That they have sense enough
to realize this fact ia show by tho
eagorness with which they pit them
selves in the pathway OF thoio rash
and moro deeply preiudiced opponents
who seek to close their mouthsby the
hands of the law. This only agslavates
the foolishness Of those whutlccopt
their challenge.
Aside from all other considera ions,
however, the arbitrary arrest and i'm.
prisonment OF this insistent Single
Taxer in Dover was an outrage upon
the right of FREQ speech. 1t ia alip
disgrace to a State whose proud mast
is that 1t participated with honor and
credit in the war that established he
Independence Of the American Colonies,
and was the first to ratify tho Constiti-
tion OF the United States. And the
right of free speech is guaranteed by
that instrument, as well az by tn.
Constitution of this State.

The Single Takers are in an ecstary
of delight over the action of the
authorities in Dover. Between foolish
law officers and Dogberry Justices, they
at last have grievance and an issue
upon which they can 80 before tho
people.
Saturday evening, another Singe
Tax speaker was arrested in Dover and
committed to the county Jail, for in
sistiag unon his right TO address 4
public meeting on street of HAT
town.
This is a shane and disgrace to
the State, as well as an additional out.
rage upon the right of free speech. 1t
will cause tho namo of Delaware to he
come reproach throughout the
country.
As for tho cause which these mis-.
guided people seek to suppress, and
which would die of inanition il left
alone ii receives impetus and inspira
tion from this persecution. But the
fact that the Single Takers arc openly
pleased, ana actually provoke such out
rageous proceedings, is no excuse for
the folly.
Trio imprisoned Single Takers should
be speedily released, and those re-
sponsiblo for the outrage stornly re-.
buked.

A New Ja, the oni, Remedy.


The Gazette has received copies
Of a little pamphlet entitled "Dela.
wares School OF Vice: New Castle
Jail Reproach TO the State. f" II is
addressed to Hon. g. S. Griffith, presi
dent of the Maryland Prisoners Aid
Association, and is signed by Thomas
II. Milliken, prisoner in New Castle
Jail, whose term ended but short time
ago.
Why this man Milliken should have
addressed his communication to an
association located in another State ia
not easy to understand. There are in.
situations at homo very similar in pur.
pose to this Maryland association, that
would willingly have taken coenizance
of his statements and at least made an
Investigation lie should, as matter
OF fact, have communicated with the
Levy Court Of New Castle county,
which body is in control Of the Jail,
and through which all measures of i'm.
provemont will have to be effected.
Tho ex-prisoner. in his pamphlet,
makes various charges against the man
agement OF the Jail, which il il not
worth while to consider. They are
discounted by the character of the
man. as well as his course in making
them to an outside organization in.
stead of to those Immediately con.
cerned. Tho other portions OF his
communication, those relating to tho
crowded, unsanitary and generally un-
satisfactory condition Of Now Castle
jail, are matters of fact that have long
been known
But this condition Of affairs is not
due to any inelliciency on the part of
tho jail management. 1t ia due to a
failure Of those having the authority 10
make the changes In tho institution
that have long been imperatively de.
manded.
New Castle jail was erected hack in
The iifties. 1t was then. no doubt,
very fine Institution of it's kind, equal
to every demand of tho times. Since
then the population Of the county has
increased three-fold, and the demands
upon the capacity of the Jail have kent
pace with this increase. But tho iail

The Philadelphia Ledger is pleased
with the financial plank adopted by
the Pennsylvania Democrats at their
recent State convention. 1t was an
follows.
We believe that the Federal govern.
ment should be entirely divorced from
the business Of banking, and that
Congress should enact such Legislation
as would give to the country banking
currency ample 10 volume for the needs
of business, absolutely secure under
every contingency and at all times re-.
deemable in gold. We are In favor of
a firm, unvarying maintenance OF the
gold standard While we favor tho
most liberal use of silver consistent
with the enforcement OF gold stand
ard, we are absolutely opposed to. the
free coinage of silver and to the com
pulsory purchase Of silver bullion by
the government. We believe that the
interests OF the people demand that
the earnings Of trade, agriculture.
manufactures and commerce, and
especially the wages OF labor. should
be- maid In money Of the greatest in
trinsfc value and of the highest stand
ard adopted by the civilized nations Of
the world. We are, therefore, unalter-
ably opposed to all devices and schemes
for the debasement of our currency and
