BY the aid OF a few plrodies on The Ab-
Minded Beggar" and considerable
newspaper energy, the city of Philadel-
phia is being slowly extricated from an un-
dignihed predicament with considerable
hope Of ultimately vindicating its pres
tige. When the Republican National Con-
vention was put up at auction recently.
there was a great scramble among the com
mercial municipalities. The bidding was
quite brisk for a time. but when the one
hundred thousand dollar mark was reached
the only nod that came was from the town
that reveres the name and fame Of William
Penn. For some days thereafter the high
est bidder disPOrted itself and INDUCED in
joyful antics, making a Few sarcastic re-
marks derogatory TO the rumOred swift
ness Of New York ard Chicago and few
others in an exultiRg tenor. intimaung that
its outwitted competitors had mistaken q
lightning express train for an overgrowu
snail. Like the Chinese New Year. the re-
joicing in Philadelphia lasted a long time
and so absorbed the efforts and attention
OF the Quaker City that the triding mat
ter Of raising the one hundred thousand
dollars was forgotten. Somebody recently
recalled the fact that the money must be
forthcoming and. after an immense cx-
penditura OF eloquence. printers ink. and
perspirat ION, the fund has reached fifty
three thousand dollars. All OF which re-
calls the aphorism concerning the enumera-
tion Of chickens before they are hatched.
But as Philadelphia seems determined 10
work the incubator overtime. the conven-
tion Will probably be saved. and the mad
dening suspense Of the local shopkeepers
eventually ended in one vast burst Of iov.
