A parcels post, up to a limit Of ten or
fifteen pounds, is sure to come in the
future, whatever the present Postmaster
General may think or do about it. Now,
here is fine opportunity for the Demo-
cratic party to win glory and do the
public a service. Let its whole repre-
sentation in the next Congress agree to
urge parcels post, such as now is 80
popular In England and Germany. They
can insist upon demonstrating its use-
fulness and compel the Republicans
either to deny the reform, or to assist in
placing it upon permanent footing.

IMMENSE PULLMAN
WORKS SHUT DOWN.
Seven Thousand Employees idle -
Company Asserts Wages Were In
Excess OF Those Paid in Other
Plants.

The immense Pullman Car Works al
Pullman, near Chicago, are shut down
and practically every one Of tho CON-
pany's 1000 employees are idle.
The workmen were told to take their
tools with them when they LETT the
works and from this infer that con-
siderable periodyof idleness conironts
them.
The closing Of the big car works at
tho "model city" came when the 1900
workcrs in the repair department we're
laid off. That had been the only branch
OF the plant In operation for some time,
and its closing left not more than 100
men at work. just enough to put the in-
ishing touches op what little work re-
mained on hand and to keep the many
buildings in condition.
About five-sixths Of the Pullman en-
ployes are members OF unions. The
plant has been operated on the open
shop basis, however, ever since the 1891
strike, when the union cause was de-
feated, union scale wages have been
paid by tho company and there has been
complete satisfaction on this score.
Complaints were made by the company,
1t is said, that high wages brought about
the closing of the works, inasmuch as
these wages we're claimed to be in excess
of the scales in effect in other plants Of
the country.
The shutdown Of the works has been
gradual during the last three weeks, two
or three departments being closed at
a time.

Curiously enough, opportunity" is

POEM TEXT TO PARKER.
Democratic Candidate and President
Both Like the Same Verse.

However much they may disagree up
on other things, President Roosevelt
and Judge Parker find common ground
In their poetical lilsings. The reading
public already has noted with interest
that Judge Parker told an interviewer
that his favorite poem was John ]. In
gals Opportunity. This is one OF
the few poems Judge Parker "knows
by heart", and friends of mine, who
have been luncheon or dinner guests at
Rosemount, tell me they have heard the
Judge recite the well-known lines in has
melodious voice and with rhythm born
OF great familiarity with and admiration
for the sonnet:
Master OF human destinies am |.
Love, fame and fortune on my footsteps
wait.
Cities and fields walk; penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and passing
by
Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late
| knock unbidden once at every gate,
II sleeping, wake; If, feasting, rise,
Before turn away. II is the hour OF
fate.
And those who follow me reach every
state
Mortals desire and conquer every foe
save death But they who doubt or
hesitate
Condemned to failure, penury and
woe
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore,
hear them not, and return no more.
Judge Parker must have had the les
son of these lines in mind when as n
youth he surprised his parents by ac-
cepting an offer 70 become the teacher
OF rural school; when no went into
law office as mere drudge; when he
took the surrogateship Of Ulster County
and acquired start toward his present
comfortable and modest fortune; when
he had the courage promptly to accept
the offer OF chairman of the Democratic
state committee In 1886 and the wit to
manage tho campaign 80 we'll AS TO carry
the State and make David b. Hill gov
efnor, who In turn appointed him to the
Supreme bench; when in 1897 no ac-
cepted the nomination for chief Judge of
the Court of Appeals and calmly told
his friends he thought he could be
elected, though the Republicans had
carried the State the previous year by
270,o00 votes.
And he must have been under the in
nuence OF his favorite poem when he
read the New York papers and found
tiicmoneyless' stSLouis platform meant
a Iuckloss election, and with rare skill
IN seizing the psychological moment,
sent his now famous gold telegram to
the convention.

A Nice Performance.

The Lula Tyler Gates Company, en-
tertained large audience at the lnsti-
tute last evening. Mrs. Gates readings
are of high order: this lady recites
with an ease and grace that captivates
her hearers, and makes of them charm
ed listeners. Her recital Of THE Death
DISH by Mark Twain, YVES indeed a
heart-chord TOUGHER and moistened the
eyes of many.
Mrs. Helen Carter McConneli's con-
tralto's voice will class with many Of
the noted prima donna's now starring on
the operate stage, it is not only exquis-
itelv sweet, but it is also full OF range an
power.
Miss Marie Ludwig, the harpist, was
indeed pleasing and so well was her
performance that she was encored sew
eral times.
Mr.. H. Bennie Henton, with clarinet
and saxaphone made very sweet music,
and his rendition on saNaphone accom-
panied with piano OF Scenes that are
brightest was superb. This opera
although old. is one that will never die
like wine of old vintage, 1t gets sweetel
and sweeter.
The entire performance was excel
lent: it was dignified presentation O
culture, art and refinement, with enough
wit and humor to keep the audience
from formal stiffness.

Letter to F. N. Wilson.

Dear Sir: Your business IS, when a
house burns down. to give the owner
some money to build new one. 1t IS a
GOOD business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too. What Is better,
we paint the houses that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn; we
insure the houses that don't. You have
the ashes and smoke: all the houses are
ours.
We paint lead-and zince; Devoe. We
sell the paint to painters: we don't
paint.
Lead-and-oil is the old fashion paint:
Devoe is zinc ground in with lead and
linseed oil: the best paint IN the world:
and the cheapest, because it takes fewer
gallons than mixed paints and wears
twice as long as lead-and-oli. NOBODY
wants poor paint: there's lots OF 1t,
though, in the word.
A. NJ. Griffin, Plainfeld,N. j., writes:
;sMr. Aaron Higgins, OF Plainbeld, al
ways used Is gallons of mixed paint
for his house. Last spring he bought
Is gallons OF Devoe and had gallons
left.'' Yours trnly,
F. ". DEvOE & Co.,
