He Looked Too Prosperous

Two men were standing ip sixth and Pine streets yesterday alrernovn in the cool shadow of a building The elder was me Iping his brow and watching the people who. passed Suddenly he touched his companiod on the arm.
 See that glrlin the Sd l9s hat-the pret- ty one over there? Shes going into that pawnshop.
 How do I know? I don't know ex- actly; it's a kind of instinct"
 The girl looked cautiously about, gazsd at the array Tn the window of the shop and walked on.
 @she'll be back in a minute" said the man who had spoken before. She will look around again, and. when she thinks no one sees her, sip in. There, shes coming backr'
 The girl had turned on the corner and was retracing her steps. Sure enough h, she paused before the open door, looked up and down the street, and went in. Five minutes later she came out and walkd rapidly away.
 q don't know how can tell them. but ~I can invariably pick them out. Never been known to fail. Say. d'you see that fellow coming up the street.-the in the light suit? He just came from the pool rooms, lprobably. is broke and is going in to hook his watch. Yes, he's con- ing up this way. There, what did I tell y( I knew he'd go in
 His fiiend nodded. That is pretty good. but I'll make a bet l can do the same thing. Bet you flyer.
 "Done."
 Well, that elderly gentleman who just got off the car will go in t@Ere The one with the diamonds, mean"
 "Never. I'd like to.double that bet"
 q take you. See. he's going right up to the door. There, hes going in. Ha. hal what did l tell you? Ten dollars, please" and the younger man held out his hand The first observer drew out a rol. and gave him two $5 bills
 You are right" he ramarked. Have a drink? Yes, don't mind if l do. But do you mind telling me how you knew he'd go in there?"

 Righteous Protest
 In spite of ths senaIta's failure to con- firm the appointment of Terence V. Pow da1fy to tha office of commissioner gen eraI of immigra tion, President Nick n ey has renewed his appointment of that in dividual, and the repudiatei champion of ofgar.zed labor in the late camp sn will therefore, exercise the duties of his office at least until congress reasse mbles in regular session next December.
 While the country Is powerl-SS ito re- sist the presidents action in renewing this appointment it is gratifying to note the indignant protest which even some  affront offered by the chief executive. One of the most outspoken of these pa pers is the Philadelphia Evening Tels- graph. "Powderly ought not to have bean named for the place." says the Telegraph. He is a tu1n-coat a@l demagogue and his appointment W made in pursuance of a bargain made with Mir. Quay and MT. Hanna.
 He is man who has been everything by turns and nothing long. The labor ing men of the country have openly re- pudiated him for his treachery and there is no office in the gift of th= gov ernment which he if worthy to fill. This language is strong. but not too strong. The people of this country realize that Powderly is corrupt. and that he has shamelf ssly betrayed the interests of the laboring masses, who formerly trust ed in him. When congress reassembles next December. one of the first dutiss of the senats5 should be tx. revoke the pres ident's apointment and oust this un- worthy offceholder sfrom the gov=rn- ment's enpity. e1A4 -
