| the other day for the first time, ana
| found him a very pleasant, atfablc and
agreeable gentleman. During his six
years senatorial career here he mas
kept bachelors hall. lie occupied
a handsome residence on La Fay
cite SQUARE, where he has elegant
apartments. Only his two young meh
private secretaries live with him, lie
IS a very busy man all the time and
his secretaries have no time 10 play.
Senator Hill is PROFESSIONALLY a very
able man. but be realizes That with
out some miraculous change OF Sentl-
ment there is no national future for
him. and he is e~ndcavOring to regain
lost prestige in the State of New
York, and that is why he has been
counting the Cleveland faction 10y
supporting MI OF the measures or our
dcrunct old administration. lie Is a
typical political boss, but has some OF
the qualities Of Il great leader. lie
believes in the unc.man power when
it comes 70 managing politics. Ills
term as Senator expired March t; and
he is succeeded by Me Too" Platt, the
"easy boss, Of New York State.

DO you see the signs OF returning
prosperity: As evidence OF it we
point to the failure Of Willoughby
Hill g. Co. Of Chicago, the oldest ant
largest dealers in ready-made clothing
in the Middle West. During the late

Mexican dollars and sold them or gave
them in change for 50 cents each, a!
an object lesson in finance. But RICH
ut the time when there is to be a tart
law enacted which would double TIT
price Of their whole immense stock o
goods, they have failed only for TIL

I Knowing ones report that Preslden
