j. PIERPONT MORGAN'S Partners.
He Selects Them for Recognized Special Abilities.

Mr. Morgan's New Year day must
have been a very busy one, but whatever
the industry in his office may have been
it as tempered by abundant New Year
cheer, and content prevailed there. Ex-
ceptional as he is in many things. he
was that also IN the announcement that
the new years greetings to the various
employees would be. first. an increase
of salaries all along the line, and.
second, a gratuity of an amount exactly
equal to last years salary.
There are some peculiarities about the
direction Of this banking business which
some might think would Offset the pay
ment of bonuses equivalent to a years
salary and yearly increase of salary.
One is that it is the understanding that
no salarfed employe OF this private
banking house is TO look forward 10
partnership. He may look ahead to the
day when his salary viii be equal 10
that received by many bank presidents.
He may, If he has the ability, contem-
Mate the prospect of a salaTied income
equal to that which some of the leaders
of the bar receive, for It is the rule OF
this establishment that the salary shall
be proportions to services and ability.
But in tina contemplation there is
always a line beyond which there can De
no further view. No employe can look
forward to the day when he shall be
called into the little inner Office and be
invited to a junior partnership.
There are many other corporate and
private institutions where Ultimate part

proprietorship IS the constant tempta-
tfon TO good service. These hopes take

Hoge Thirsts for Office.

The Hon J. Hampton HOge is said to
entertain a feverish desire 10 attach his

no unusual ambition for the Hon. J.
Hampton In fact, It has been many
years since he has had a normal tenn
perature whenever there was a Federal
plum hanging where he was able TO see
it, although II must be admitted that he
has never been surfeited with political
pie.
His anxiety just now is said to be
over the Norfolk eoHectorship, although
he is sufficiently modest to say that he
would not accept the place without the
Endorsement Of the State organization.
Ever since Colonel Hoge sta sted out a

whittier he had been commissioned TO

more or less annoyed by a thirst for

unsuccessful in satisfying.
Colonel Hoge's record with the Re-

be coming his way, and while there Is
not much likelihood that he viii be ask

ROyaI Retreats in Switzerland.

He is by no means the only royal

Switzerland Quite a number of mem

they occasionally retire for a rest and

Empress Eugene has lent 10 her

canton de Wand
In fact, there are few countries in Eu-
rope that seem to offer such attractions
TO royal persOnages in search of quietude
and rest as Switzerland, which is all the
more strange, when one reflects that it is
there, too where the International or
ganization of anarchy and nihilism has
its headquarters, and matches outrages
that are mostly directed against royalty.

Regulars Becoming Irregular.

Regulars Becoming Irregular.
The showing made by the Delaware
Regulars would indicate that they are
becoming decidedly irregular. Addicks'
strength has been steadily growing. until
he now lacks but four votes OF the
coveted Senatorship. These he will not
be able to extract from the membership
Of the present Legislature. but he will
have another chance two years hence.
The Addicks proposition TO the Regu-
lars to divide the Offices would strike
an outsider as a reasonable one, and in
dicate that the gas man was inclined TO
tote fair, but it has been rejected.
Nothing to do with Addicks'' is their
slogan, while "No one but Addicks,' is
the cry of the Unionists. Another thing
is, Addicks has unquestIonabIy made

The Delaware Tantalus.

As a result of the special election in
one Of the legislative districts OF Della
ware. the Hon J. Edward Addicks is just
one peg nearer the goal OF his ambition.
Still the Senatorial plum is a little be-

commanding position to appreciate the
feelings Of the NEUROLOGICAL Tantalus. At
the same time Addicks' determination to

Gates that he is not discouraged by diff
culties which would have caused many
men TO cry quits long ere this.
But not so with the Hon. J. Edward
Addicks. There IS apparently too much
bulldog tenacity in his character for him

Cade Of unsuccessful effort. In the
