While we are asking capital to come

an item from an exchange and discover

Is there any wood to be found that
equals our ''heart" pine timber for kin
ding? One piece one-half inch in

exclaim about the useleslness Of try

of the country, and only requires the

start it going; to invest in "A good

and a few postage stamps for making
arrangements for the sales.
The most important capital required
for the success OF any business lies
within the man who starts it. Energy,

II Brooklyn spends over a million
dollars annually for kindling, other
cities certainly spend a like amount,

The City of BrOtherIy Love Figuring
what the Convention Is Worth.


Philadelphia North American.
The convention managers estimate that
$50 600 visitors will be in the city for four
days next week.
With this number as a basis, the statis-
ticians have been at work.
The suite of rooms to be occupied by the
National Committee will cost $500 a day.
Many other suites have been engaged
at 500 day, and from that down to SO
day.
Thousands of people, however, will limit
their room rent to 81 a day. A conserva-
tive estimate places the average per per-
son at 81 a day.
Consequently the landlords and land
ladies of Philadelphia viii enjoy an in-
come of $4,000 a day for four days. To-
tal. 100000
Expert caterers agree that the average
cost of food per person may be conserva-
lively placed at 81. Thousands of the big
politicians will pay $50 apiece for dinner,
but more will pay 81.
This gives a total of half a million per
day for food. Grand total. s., 900, 900.
The estimate of 81 a person for liquid
refreshment is low, according to Old cam
paigners. Total for liquids. $1,000 900.
Cigar dealers will reap a harvest of at
least $780, co.,
Street car companies will gather in
nickels to the amount of S250,000.
In feeding the multitude the butchers
share will be about $780, 900.
The bakers will receive $2500O0.
The farmers and commission merchants
will get $4,000 for eggs butter and vege-
tables.
The grocers Will receive $3.50, 900, and tho
remaining half-mllion will be divided be-
tween the tea and coffee merchants, the
fruiters and ice cream makers.

Election day came The Chinese were
well in hand and had been thoroughly
drilled into what they had to do. Tom
linson had explained carefully through
their interpreters that every man, in or
d. to vote the right way, would have to
mark a cross inside the square following
the top name on the card. The interpre-
tiers were very particular in impressing
the top name" idea on their men, and
they understood the lesson thoroughly.
Each voter was to approach the table
on which the portmanteaus sat, in full
view of the crowd and on being handed
his ballot by Barrett was to deposit it
after making his cross.
Some of Warburton's long-headed
friends had found out all about the in
strucuons to the Chinese, and they got
at Mr. Barrett and bought that gentle
man, body and boots, to help them carry
out little plot that they had devised for
the benefit of their candidate. 1t was very
simple, An that the clerk had to do was
to hand out a ticket upside down TO
every Chicaman who came along to vote.
Twas slim chance that the conspira-
tors were depending on-simply the belier
that the Chinese would carry out their
literal instructions and insert their crosses
on what they believed was the top square
of the card That the square appeared on
the left hand side of the name would
ing perfectly natural, according to their
own method of penmanship. Barrett full
filed his part Of the contract in very
thorough manner.
Ire Tomlinson adherents who had
watched nearly so Cinnamon march up
to the polls and seemingly carry out their
promises thought that the election was
as good settled, and many OF them
were making merry over the prospect IN
the tent saloons along the Ballarat ten
derloin long before the polls were closed.
Their Joy was short lived. Warourton
was elected by a majority OF nearly Nv
votes--saved by his oppon nts own LABOR
ers. Old miners say that after the result
was declared and when Tomlinson found
out all about the double cross" or rath-
er the single cross, that had been worked
on him, he walked up the hill to China
town. and, standing among the shacks
of his Acknowledged vassals. read the riot
act to them with fiery eloquence. Even
when he called them "dunder-headed
bli herring Nongolisu id is" they smiled
sadly and were unmoved He might as
well have been talking Gaelic for all they
understood

The story of the way the first Mayor Of
Ballarat carried his election forms
unique incident in the history of the vote
by ballot, and, as it has never appeared
in print, may be worth the telling.
There We're two candidates for the
place, Edward Warburton, Scotch min
ing engineer, and Evan TOmlinson, called
by the irreverent Smooth Tommy. Both
men were wealthy, and each was popular
in the community, but Tomlinson had
tie advantage of b ing a born polite
ian There were about 5000 white men in
the settlement. and in addition to these
Ballarat had its Chinatown up on one
of the hills with a population of 500 The
spirit Of democracy was very strong
among the cosmC politan crowd Of miners.
Tomlinson had figured out that the vote
for Mayor would probably be very closely
divided between himself and his oppo-
nent, and as three-fourths of the Chi
nese We're working on claims owned by
himself and his brother, he made up his
mind that the only way to make his cleo
ton certain was to get the consent OF the
free and indepeudent" to a proposition
to allow the Celestials to cast their ballots
with The whites.
Warburton and his supporters. realizing
that such a concession would mean a
crushing defeat, fought hard against the
idea, but Smooth Tommy" had the ear
of the members of The law and order
corps, who were running the prelimina-
ries, and Warburton's protests were over
ruled.
Jimmy Barrett, a roustabout speculator
was installed as clerk of election. The
ballot boxes were five old-fashioned leath-
er portmanteaus, with Sits in the sides,
and the ballots were small printed slips
