TWO GIRLS co CAMPAIGNING.
The Misses Ahrens Will Visit Every
 Voter In Mir. keller's District.

From the New York World.
 The blue ribbon goes to Julius Keller, aspirant for assembly honors in the ten- derloin, for sentiment and picturesque ness in the present political campaign.
 Two of the prettiest girls in the Twen- ty-fifth assembly district are supplement- ing Mr. Keller's picturesque personal campaign by a house-to-house canvass the entire district who is unlucky enough not to see them. 1t will be because they can't find him at home. And they have resolutely announced that they are not going to stop at one. two or even three visits.
 These pretty campaigners are the Misses Anna and Dora Ahrens, sisters of the late Mrs Keller Miss Dora is 1s and Miss Anna sweet and 20." As soon as MT. Keller received notice of his nomination they took an interest in his campaign and began to devise ways of helping him. They began by making all the young men of their acquaintance promise to vote for Brother Juiius." They got enough pledges to make Candidate Keller feel sure of carrying his district, although 1t is nominally republican.
 Three days ago they surprised him with a new scheme for winning votes. Thinking the matter over, they had con- ceived the idea of making a personal appeal to every voter in the district. Everybody agreed that the appealing glances of two such pretty girls would be the most effective campaign argu- ment that could be used They got list of the voters in the district from the regs istration sheets and began a systematic canvass. and few indeed were those who did not eventually give the desired prom

which to be poor is to be criminal.
 The spectacular season will begin with December. With the sound of waltz mu- sic the matrimonial market will throw open its gates and the proud mamma who now wallows in the fat flesh pots of the earth will bring forth her get that 1t may be sought by th< swain who entertains ideas of crowning his career with most desirable alliance. Balls, parties muscales, receptions. dinners and the opera afford the scenes wherein the heress will appear to be seen and, perhaps, sighed for by the heir.
 But alack, alas. even in this beatific atmosphere of nectar and wild honey the rose has a thorn. All have not arriv- ed from the east and the west by the same train. The earlier conner wears a smile of complacency, affect an air of hauteur that is exasperating to the new arrival. Ten years of seniority in this marvellous society gives a precedence that 1t is hard to combat. Ten years fudge six months will make a differ ence.
 Today the liveried servant has become an important functionary in spectacular society; and since a certain illustrious royal parsonage visited the city last spring 1t is more than likely that the knee brooches. the powdered hair and the out rider will be added to this seasons pass ing show. To the spiendor of living, to the greatness of houses. to the magnifi- cence of entertainment is due the defer ence of onookers. Nothing opens the gulf so wide between man and man as realization of the difference that lies be- tween him who has and him who has not It was the difference between Dives and is the democracy between the man who drives and the man who stands and sees him drive? Consciousness of small means makes one look upon the man of large means; consciousness makes the man of large means look down upon the man of small means. The tendency of environ ment is to stimulate this consciousness. Hence when the spectacular society comes trouping to town there Is the fam flare of trumpets When madam drives up to the jewellers her horses paw the ground conscious of their importance, the clerks bend to the ground conscious of their lack of importance. Madame sweeps on conscious of her glittering mill lions Servility has followed.

SPECTACULAR SOCIETY
BY ARTHUR SETON.

1 who challenged attention by the erection of a costly home, by elegant appoint ments, by lavish hospitality. His case rested with a jury of persons in moder- ate circumstances.
 Those were the days when the slippery horse-hair sofa and the awful tidy with funeral festivity graced the parlors or the Knickerbockers. But the horse-nair sofa, the pink. coral on the cold marpie mantel shelf and the house wife's dainty tidy has been swept away and with them the legends. the traditions and the con ventions of this seaport town. The Knickerbockers are scattered, gone to their graves and with them their primi- tive notions. To rise on the social hori- zon the bankers credit must be hoisted aloft where all who run may see that it is in the tens of millions. It is now not to the worthy Knickerbockers the so- cially aspiring Croesus appeals for place but to a convention of Croesus. And be- ing admitted what will Croesus do?
 Hence the ambition, the struggle, the fight to be the van In leadership. Hence the palaces on Fifth avenue. on the Riverside Drive. Hence the struggle to command attention by the display of wealth The precincts of fashion have become a tourney for knig'Es of trade and the bauble they joust for is social recognition.
 Truly wealth enjoys nothing more than more wealth. The magnetic attraction the maid has made for youthful swain lies not in the color of her eyes, her hair. her skin. in her charms of person, disposition In the infection of her laugh or the witchery of her smile; 1t makeseno odds whether she be white or yellow. wise or foolish--but she must be rich. And the maid? What care she whether he be tall or short; noble or ignoble, generous or selfish so long as he has the proper financial endorsement? Marriage opens a vista of expense in the immedi- ate future and vista of cousinship in

Temporary Relief" for Money Marke+

Temporary Relief" for Money Market From the New York World
 Secretary Shaw announces that he will further relieve" the money fam. inc by anticipating interest payments on public debt to June 30, 1903, and by buying 1904 5 per cent bonds al 105. Meanwhile, by quibble which no one will condemn, government re ceipts from internal revenue and mis cellaneous sources are deposited in banks before they are "covered into the treasury or sub-treasuries. After they are so "covered" they can only be legally deposited with banks that buy bonds as security-a provision at present impracticable.
 From anticipated interest the utmost sum that can be released is about $20,000,000; 1904 bonds will scarcely be offered at all; from deposited re- ceipts half a million a day may be expected. Customs receipts, the largest source of revenue, must by law go direct to the treasury or sub treasury, where they simply swell the idle surplus. The deposit of miscel- laneous revenue cannot indefinitely continue, nor can the anticipation of interest-unless when June 30, 1903, actually arrives MT. Shaw is to be found paying interest for 1907 or 1908.
 So much for the sham remedy-the best MT. Shaw can do with his law limited powers. The real remedy rests with congress. It is to lower the worse than war taxes which are now piling up the surplus in the treasury, a menace to business and an invitation to national extravaganza.

The doctor has made what he calls lingual tractor, a machine which moves the tongue back and forth fixed dis- tance and with exact rhythm By it's use persons have been revived who had apparently been dead for three hours The doctor calls attention to the fact that majority of persons who meet death in the water are killed by heart disease and not by suffocation. which &C., counts for many failures in attempting resuscitations.
