LET me tell YOU" said bright
young man at Delmonicos last night"
that there is new hobby among
Americans. What is II? Wen, Il lot
of Americans, who cannot so abroad
and who like to visit watering places
and mountain resorts in America bor-
row from their neighbors who have
visited Europe dress suit eases and
trunks on which are plastered all sorts
of labels from foreign hotels. Don't
laugh at this statement OF mine; II Is
absolutely true. There seems to be
great admiration for dress suit cases
and trunks which are plastercd all
over with these labels of foreign ho-
tells and our American cousins who
have not had the time to go abroad
within the last few years borrow these
suit cases and trunks from their more
fortunate neighbors." As matter OF
fact you may go to certain trunk
places in New York City and buy these
cases and trunks with the foreign ho-
tel labels all pastered on them. 1t was
even said that manufacturers of dress
suit cases and trunks make the FOR
eign labels a matter of incidental home
production.

The most conspicuous man In tho
audience at one of the East side po-
litical meetings last week was local
dandy who had scored great success
over his rivals with a waistcoat OF
his own devising and it was such as
Berry Wall and j. Waldere Kirk never
attempted. He caused stir the mo-
ment he entered the room. Most OF
the front of his waistcoat was on eX-
hibiton, his coat being held back on
either side by two large hands on
which were variety of rings. The
waistcoat was white with large
brown spots had not been painted in
inspection showed that it was covered
with long hair. The owner proudly
explained that it had been made from
the hide of a white cow and that the
brown spots had not been painted in.
but had existed on the COW. He said
that it was not only warm. but very
natty" and to be properly effective
it should be worn with red necktie,
an article when he had neglected to
purchase for the shrdlu shrdlu pupu
purchase for this occasion.

All the hotels in the city are doing
a record business this fall, and the
amount of trade that they are having
can be compared only to the days Of
the fall of 1S99 when the home COM
ing of Admiral Dewey and the fetes in
his honor, toge. ..ler with the cup races,
brought such throngs to New York
that every hotel was taxed to its ut
most. That week has been known as
Dewey week" among the hotel men
and they never thought that they
would see anything that would ap-
proach it in the size of the crowds, and
he amount of money that the people
were anxious to spend. This month the
trade that has been done has been
nearly as great, and in the weeks Of
the yacht races the business was fully
up to the standard set in 1899. The
proprietors of the hotels say that they
have been unable to provide accOmmO-
dations for the guests that have
sought them and that those who have
applied for rooms have acted as
though money was plenty.

ISOLATION, whatever that is; Lewis Nix
on, the well known shipbuilder; Z. 2.
Wilson, secretary of the Manufacture
ers association, numerous representa-
tlves of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company and various representatives
of the Standard Oil company have all
taken conspicuous part in helping along
this multimillion dollar grab. 1t is in
teresting to note in this connection that
Clement \. Griscom, w. II. Barnes,
Alexander J. CaSsatt and w. E. Elkins,
directors Of the International Naviga-
ton company, are also directors in the
Pennsylvania Railroad company and
that CasSatt is president of that COM
pany, while Griscom is president of the
International Navigation company.
John d. Archbold, professional defend
er of trusts, and Henry II. Rogers are
also directors of the International Nay
igati0n company, while Archbold is a
director and Rogers a director and vice
president of the Standard Oil company.
ArchbOld, Rogers and Griscom are also
directors of the National Transit COM
pany, which controls the distributing
business of the Standard Oil company.
None of these gentlemen is given to
sleeping overtime when a bill with
millions in it, for them is pending in
congress.
In the face of this marvellous, stu
pendOus, ever present and always ac-
tive lobby in favor of the Hanna-Frye-
Payne ship subsidy bill, it is n perfect
legislative wonder that this measure
has not yet passed and is now gasping
for breath during the closing two
months Of the present congress. This
could not be so unless the bill had in
1t more vulnerable points than JoSeph'S
coat had colors and unless its unbear-
able favOritism to a select syndicate of
interests was so plain that all the peO-
pie with opportunity of getting infor-
nation about it and all the unbiased
congressman with time to study it
could see its injustice and recognize its
parentage. Nothing possible has been
left undOne to work up influence in its
favor. The Congressional Record has
been flooded with petitions for its en-
actmCnt; its promoters have systemat-
ically worked political bodies, COM
mcrcal bodies, agricultural bodies and
every other kind of gathering any
where assembled. This work has been
done by carefully organized and liber-
ally sustained bureaus. The desired
result would certainly have been reach
ed but for that portion of the press
which could not be mu2Zled, a large
majority of the people who in this case
could not be fooled and a congress
which has so far wisely refused to fol-
low the dictates of its leaders. And
the country is to be congratulated that
this worst conceived and most lobbied
bill of modern times will fail

FARM Frs INSTITUTE.

The opinion generally held by those
who attended the institute conducted
in this city by Mr.. Geo. WylIc, ON the
18th and 18th Of January, was, that
so far as attendance was concerned, 1t
was almost failure; partly on nc
count Of the severe cold weather, and
again because many farmers have an
idea that the workers are often men
who have made failures Mt practical
farming, and are now talking for the
salary there il In 1t TO those present
it was plain TO be seen that Conductor
Wylic, on Beef, Swine, and Glover
and Corn, was at home, and spoke
from practical experience. Especially
was this noticeable in the experiment
conducted by the Professor from the
station near Madison, on Mr.. Wyllo's
farm where IL was demonstrated that
"surrace cultivation made u warm

Alois, aged three years, was found
dead in their own door yard, his death
having been caused by a woodrack
which had fallen upon him. The

himself in some manner. His death
is crushing blow to his parents, and
the hearts of all go out to them in
