at was great" said the alderman.
"The New York city members of the
house are the finest looking lot of men
In congress. They are the flowers of
the capitol. and Timothy d. Sullivan
is the orchid Of the bunch. He and
Mcclellan got great sendoffs."
One of Sullivan's Sixth district lieu
tenants. who also witnessed the open
ing Of the extra session of congress,
said:
big Tim was the congressman
on Monday (Nov. 81. The rest also
ram Everybody who went to the cap
itol wanted to know first thing which
was Dry Dollar Sullivan. They didn't
care for old Cannon or pay any atten-
ton to him. Even Mcclellan wasn't in
1t with Tim. 1t was great day for
the big fellow and he felt it. Say,
Tins dead stuck on Washington al
ready. Don't you be surprised If he
takes a house and comes out big in So
ciety. He is fitted tor it. He didn't
care much about society in Albany; he
didn't think it was the real thing, but
he looks on the Washington article as
eighteen carat, and he is going in for
1t.
Just wait till you see Tim tackle the
ambassadors, counts and markeses!
He can outflow any of them. and when
it comes to interesting conversation
Tim will be in 1t with anybody. AS
to Roosevelt, he and Tim have been
close friends for years, and Teddy will
tip Tim of on any little points that he
isn't familiar with yet"

Fancy Pack of Cards.

The Prince of Wales, who does not
really care for cards, has followed the
example set by the kaiser and has Or
dered fancy pack for the benefit of
his children, says London cablegram
to the Cincinnati Enquirer. In the
kaiser's pack the pope is the king of
spades, his own august person is repre-
sented by the king of hearts and the
four knaves are four presidents of the
chief councils. The Prince OF Wales
has made Queen Alexandra queen Of
hearts, his father king Of hearts, the
kaiser king of clubs, Queen Marguerite
of Italy queen of diamonds and the
four knaves are members of the late
cabinet. The cards are beautifully de-
signed and printed. and the aces con-

90 he Organized on Mutual Protec-
tion idea.
Miss Louise Lee Hardin. president OF
the Denver Women's Business club.
has started TO put into execution
plan for the extinction of the masher.
says the Kansas City Times. The OBJ
Ject OF this is TO protect the girls who
work In shops and offices.
The plan is farreaching one. 1t
consists. first. of a patrol OF the streets
by a score of young women, who VIII
keep yigilant outlook for the street
''mssher" and when found report his
offense to the nearest police officer. In
addition. Miss Hardin proposes to or
sanize the young women in the offices
and shops on mutual protection
plan. In this way when Il girl has a
complaint against her employer she
can rely on the assistance of many OF
her fellow employees TO prove her
charges.
The details are being carefully work
ed out, and before Christmas shoppers
swarm the streets the women expect
to drive the Washers" from their ia
miliar haunts.
Miss Hardin is confident of her
scheme, and woe betide him who at
tempts to flirt with some enhancing
maiden he may observe upon the street
The prettiest of the working girls have
been picked out by Miss Hardin to re-
cruit the "antimashers' police. She Is
working along Partisan methods, and
before complaint is filed there Will be
ample evidence to sustain every charge
preferred against the culprit.
mo one woman will have to con-
front her employer in court, to be
browbeaten and intimidated by law
yers and retire whiting under the abuse
heaped upon her." says Miss Hardin.
"She will have several witnesses of
her own sex to substantiate her
charges"
Miss Hardin says she was actuated
in starting the new crusade by her ex-
perience in seeking work in Denver.
II know we will succeed" she said.
EVERY day We are getting stronger.
Interest has been awakened, and the
working gAls Of this city will have
protection. 1t is surprising when one
sums up how many homes are solely
dependent on one little woman"
In celebrating the detective plan
Miss Hardin advanced the ideas that
certain kinds or grades of work de-
manded more protection than others
To strangers coming to Denver to
girls alone in the city, to the ones
stranded on account of illness or other
trouble. the Business Womens club
pledges help, but not in the name Of
charity. 1t is the intention of Miss
Hardin to ask the 900 members of the
WOman's club to fraternize so that an
immense army Of influential women
may lend their aid to the cause

THE modern palace ear. with its

menace 10 the public health. Railroad
coaches should h. made as plain as pos
sible In order that they may be cleaned

York.

knows that the origin OF large pro-
portion Of communicable diseases is
traceable 10 the direct or Indirect CON
tact OF the sick with the healthy. The
transmission is most likely TO occur by
protracted contact with the person or
surroundings which the Infected have
contaminated. For many reasons the
ordinary railroad coach, because of Its
varied use and occupancy, might fur
nish a fruitful opportunity for the dis
semination OF disease. On account of
the carelessness OF the public. the rail-
road companies are TO lamentable de-
gree afforded encouragement for laxity
In the matter of hygienic regulations
"Yet railroad companies beautify
their vehicles and vie with each other
In the matter Of design and ornamental
ton In utter disregard for the impor-
tant matter Of hygienic conditions.
Crowded immigrant ships bring con-
tagion to our shores. and the railroads,
unless some wise sanitary regulations
be made. may become potent vehicle
In scattering 1t broadcast through the
land"
The doctor also argued for more
healthful distribution of air through
railway coaches.
After the conclusion of DR.. Elkton's
address a paper written by DR.. G. 2.
Conn Of Concord, N. H.. dealing with
the same subject. was read. and then
the meeting discussed the matter and
agreed that II was time that something
should be done to make the trave ng
public less liable to infection.

for one to hold his hand In the water.
Now the spring, which is constantly
growing hotter and hotter, is giving of

Of the spring. Some believe that recent
earthquakes which disturbed that sec

Battle Hymn Of Panama.

From no mountain height Of freedom
Was our glorious flag unfurled,
And we sought no grand stand plaudits
Firing shots heard round the world.
Times nave changed since CORY heroes
or their fights for country Dragged;
Mid no war shouts rose our standard.
But our courage never tagged.
For we sat in secret conclave
When we built US up a state.
Sons of freedom, cool and cautious,
subtle, keen and up to date;
Laid our wires with skill artistic
Planning 'gainst untimely slips,
with much faith in business methods
And an uncle who has ships
No long list of dead and wounded
Glorifies our virgin scroll,
Though against the constitution
We set out for freedoms goal,
But we've shown how modern heroes.
Free from wild unseemly hate,
Can, without undue excitement,
Build republics while you wait.

SMART RURAL POSTMASTER
Unique Method to Increase the Re-
ceipts of His Office.

ceipts of His Office.
A. A. Moser of Ruble. near Union
town, Pa, during the recent political
campaign used a unique method to in
crease the receipts of his office. He
was assistant secretary of the Prohibi-
ton county committee and postmaster
at Ruble, remote town with fifty in
habitants and two miles from a rail-
road. Mr.. Moser subscribed 500 to the
campaign fund. The Prohibitionists
started on a strenuous campaign. Thou
sands of letters and circulars were
sent broadcast and the letters dated
Uniontown, but all bore the postmark
of Ruble.
So great was the increase in the
Ruble office receipts that the postal
authorities wrote to ask the cause, but
Mr.. Moser was proceeding legally and
explained clearly his case. He received
the commission ON the extra business
and was materially benefited, and
when the votes were counted on the
state ticket the Prohibitionists had in
Mr.. Moser's election district forty-sev-
en-, or one more than Republicans and
Democrats combined.
