Philadelphia Times.


A gentleman whose philosophy has rip
ened and sweetened in life, who grows OPP
timistic as he grows older, but whose OBJ
servations on all subjects are calm. said the
other day that it was no use trying TO help
a man to rise from the gutter or any
degradation. moral or physical, unless you
put good clothes on him. when | was a
younger man / used to go on Il spree my
self" he said Il would spend a week or
ten days getting full goat. and when
the time came to brace up was the more
able to do it because / could get into clean
linen and q fresh suit of clothes There
were times when If 1t had been necessary TO
sober up in the clothes l wore to get full
in. / would never have got sober at all.
That's the reason l look with little hope to
the work of the Breakfast Association
reaching permanent results i'm individual
cases. They do great good-they feed the
hungry and encourage the hopeless so far
as it is in their power; they give clothing
as long as they have it, but If they could
give the objects of their charity a suit of
clothes in which he would feel himself re-
Specialize new suit that no man had ever
been drunk in-they would reform drunk
ard now and again.

Jan. 5. On the other hand the govern
ment win dsburse its interest obligation
and redeem the remainder of the Pacific
bonds
1t is estimated that the government will
nave credit balance, after the clear
ings incident to the Union Pacific payment,
the redemption of the Pacific bonds and the
payments of January interest, OF nearly
$50 000. COO, which will be for the time being
on deposit in New York banks. This bal
the money market or to the contingencies
of a possible continuing deficit in the gov
eminent revenues. The care with which
these large transactions have been ar
ranged to offset one another is believed to
have assured the countrys money supply
against any violent and sudden fluctuations,
but the loan rate Is expected to hold firm
at or above the present rate for several
weeks. The marked weakness of foreign
exchange which Is now at as low point
as was reached during the gold movement
of last September. has proved sufficient to
bring gold as shown by yesterdays an
nouncement of 000 coming from Lon
don. In view of the high money rate in
the Berlin and London markets this comes
as something of q surprise, though heavy
considered certain. In this connection 1t is
to be considered that gold received at San
Francisco since Aug. i. and now in transit
from Australia, amounts to 81, This
is in effect a liquidation of Australian in
debtedness to England by the payment OF
England's debt to us.
The bond market has been much more
quiet this week than for some time, and
prices are little changed. Government
bonds have been weak. The new fourS,

IOnuOn ItIttI'
/ hear OF funny mistake which took
place at a reception given by the Duchess
of Fife the other day at which her mother
and several members of the royal family
were present "A young man in faultless
evening dress suddenly entered shookR her
bv the hand in that kind of off-hand fash
ion which is habitual with young men
about town in London in greeting their
and thereupon pumped down on a sofa
which was already partly occupied by
lady to whom he presently turned with
the remark that hers was a familiar face.
Suddenly the truth dawned upon him. his
neighbor was Princess Charles of Den
mark who looked at him quizZically
through her monocle and he found that
he had got into the wrong house, having
been invited to dance two doors off. 1t
must be said in his excuse that most
of the mansions in Portmsn square, where
the Duchess of Fife resides are very much
alike. How the young man got out of the
house he does not know to this day.
