DUTY AND MONEY.

When the engineer of a fast train near Oxford, Ohio, saw a couple of loose box cars coming down to meet him as he rounded a curve, says Ap- peal to Reason. he told the fireman to jump, while he reversed his engine and went to his death, but saved his pas- sengers. For money? Noi For duty. When you tell me that money or wealth is the only incentive to right action or progress, you know nothing of human nature. No good action was ever done for money. though money may have been an incident to it. Do you think the owners of that railroad would have given their lives to save the passengers? Not one of them. They would not even give of their booty robbed from the public for enough safety appliances to prevent the. accident. Compare that action of the engineer with the gambling. rob- ping, bribing character of the eminent ly respectable men who own and oper- ate the railroads. There is as wide a gulf between them as separates hades from heaven. But the working peo- pie are only c1ods for the pleasure and profit of the master class. Private wealth is destructive of greatness.

The increased demands of labor are anything but bull argument, writes Henry Clews, the banker, in his week ly letter. For a period larger con sumption and distribution of commodi- ties is anticipated; but, on the other hand, new enterprises are already be- ing held back because of the high cost of materials and labor, much of the work now doing being on old con- tracts. The ultimate effect of these demands will be increased costs of production and higher costs to con sumers; stimulating imports and checking exports to degree that will finally react upon labor. The rail- roads, in spite of heavy traffic and large earnings are already confronted
 with heavy increases in expenses and declining net earnings. The day of increased dividends Is over, and the question as to whether recent ln-

SATURDAY., NOVEMBER P, 1902.

The social season in Washington was practically opened on the 18th, when Mrs Roosevelt held the first of her customary receptions of cabinet la dies in the forenoon and was at home to her friends in the afternoon. The British ambassador and Lady Herbert have moved into the British embassy, which has been undergoing repairs since Lord Pauncefotes death. The Italian ambassador has returned from New England, and Postmaster General and Mrs Payne are installed in their new home, which has been an annex of the Arlington hotel. Many Wash ingtonians are now in New York at tending the horse show, but will return next week and then. society will re- sume it's usual winter gayety.

An Open Letter to the ThouS-
 andS Of Visitors to the Fair.

During the past year we have served 1ou thro our mail order departments most 'f you for many years. We see your letters
 ach week and, thro them, have came to xnow you intimately give us the more per- sonal pleasure of seeing you-of shaking you y the hand and welcoming you. We don't Know that the south is different from any other point of the compass, but our re- ation with you has been the relationship of one friend to another; you, from your various homes, have written us of your various needs, leaving the matter, properly, to us as friends. We selected those things that our long ac- quaintance qualified us to know was exactly what you would have bought if you were buying in person. Not penny more than lf you were standing at our elbow, nor any, thing lacking as to style and quality.
 But is this interest of ours, centered as It IS you, and your best interest, is it sim ply rare friendship or rather isn't it rare good business? The spirit that inpels the latter is of infinitely finer order-t means that the unknown to us, as well as the known, may send their orders here with an implicit con- fdence--That to say about" what you want and about what you want to pay, assures you of conscientious care and honesty -qualtIes that have built this business in fourteen years to be largest south of Wash ington.

It's done here on large cylinders, just as it is done in large factories--making it possible to sponge and shrink from , to 50 yards of cloth by simply opening a steamvalve. The benefit to you is less price and better work. The work is done uniformly, and the material is saved from handling and rehandling--as in the old sweatshopmethod.
