q young man

most any other newspaper man in
America, and all the boys who have
watched with interest his tumultuous
career will hope that he has struck 1t
right this time. OF course there is the
usual search for the ''backer," with q
general agreement that a Tammany
syndicate put up the money. AT any
rate the first copy of the paper under
Mr.. Quinn's management contained a
strong editorial endorsement of Mayor
McClellan's candidacy for the presi-
dency-that was for Murphy-and an
article upon the rival claims of useful
ness of the physical force and parlia-
mentary parties in twisting the British
lions tail for old Erin. That was for
Mr.. Quinn himself, for he was raised
under Boyle O'Reilly, and has never
forgotten the '98. &
The Mcclellan candidacy, by the
way, Is not taken very seriously in
New York, least of all by the young
mayor, who refuses to permit his head
to be turned by the attention the idea
has attracted outside.
AS matter OF TACT, Boss Murphy
cares little more who is president of
the United States than Croker or Kelly
did before him. But he does care for
two things:
First, he wants to extend the Tam
many machine into Brooklyn, and, Sec
ond, he wants to oblige the great Met
ropolitan Street Railroad company,
which has always been on the closest
terms with Tammany, and which wants
to provide Tammany aldermen with an
excuse for denying franchise favors to
rivals, If any should be desired. Either
motive seems pitiably small to tangle
up presidential canvass.

SLOW CLOCK HELPS TRADE.
Philosophical Customer Shows Cigar
Clerk How to Increase
His Business.

Quite crowd passes here In the
morning" said the new customer in
State street cigar store, relates the
Chicago Journal.
Yes, they all stop to look at the
clock in the window when they pass, 81
replied the clerk. "You see, they all
count upon reaching business in time
to be at work promptly at eight"
THE clock gets you quite little
business?" questioned the customer.
"They know your place and drop in
occasionally"
mo, sir. not one of them. That's the
the strangest part Of It. They come
along here. and use our clock every
morning. but when it comes to buying
cigars and tobacco they go somewhere
else. Just like people in general"
"Why don't you make them spend
their money here?"
The clerk laughed and looked as
kance at the speaker.
That's right he said, make them
trade with you. Wherever there is a
will there is a way"
well, am looking for business, I"
said the clerk as a suggestion. What
shall do?''
The customer looked at the clock.
The hands pointed at 7:48. Then he
went behind the counter, climbed up
to the clock and turned the hands
around until they reached 1902. Then
he stepped back to watch the effect A
moment later well-groomed clerk
walked leisurely up to the window.
He glanced at the clock. The effect
was magical.
The man started to run He lodged
an electric car and sped down the
street. The next man who looked at
the clock turned over fruit stand In
his haste to. get away. The next fell
over newsboy and broke his UNI
brella.
Thus it continued for ten MINUTES
Every man who saw the clock hurried
away. Finally, when it was really
eight o'clock, the customer turned BE-. k
the hands and set the clock at the right
time.
Now" said the customer, watch
the trade come" - @
At noon the clerk and his assistant
beat a tattoo on the cash register. Sales
during the lunch hour were nearly as
large as those of the rest of the day.
Nearly every new purchaser came in
and spent nickel or dime. Then he
said: Your clock is too fast
The clerk told all of them the joke.
The customers enjoyed the laugh. And
now the morning sales of that store
are so heavy that 1t requires two
clerks to handle the rush.
And the man who turned the hands

Whatever may be said of Jerusalem
as a city sacred to religious history
the girls of this country may thank
their lucky stars they were not born
in Jerusalem. It may be good thing
to make pilgrimage to Jerusalem as
matter of experiment and recreation
but our free and happy maidens could
scarcely be persuaded to dwell there

The girls of Jerusalem know abso-
lutely nothing of what is known az
social life. According to the United
States consul at Jerusalem, they know
very little except about their house
hold duties. They occasionally meet,
a few together, and have little Cos
sipy chat about their personal affairs.
They sometimes show a slight ANNA
ton of spirit, but mostly they are dull,
listless creatures. ignorant and litter
ate. They have no ability to speak or
write in grammatical form. They play
dominoes little, games Of card and
checkers are also played sometimes.
but no games or pastimes are INDUCED
in that cause any mental effort or ply
steal development.
They know nothing about dancing;
they know nothing about association
with the opposite sex. A family pic
mic in an olive orchard near their
home is the greatest event of their
lives.
Men are absolutely barred from their
presence. For girl to appear in any
assemblage where men are is regarded
as vulgar and unbecoming. The girl is
practically q prisoner, awaiting the
time when she shall change jai]ers.
Her first jailer is her father or elder
brother or male guardian. Her second
jailer is her husband She has noth-
ing before her but dreary outlook;
nothing behind her but memories of
morbid and monotonous past.
How would the new woman of to-
day, or the matinee girl, adjust herself
to such life? "a
It would be living death for such
women. Jerusalem may be very

lOfOOu aQVenIureSS, MIS- Eu8S, VINO
was said to have fleeced him for 20
many years. XE$
When the veteran and venerable AM
drew H. Green, Father of Greater
New York" was shot dead in the street
by negro lunatic, the district attor-
ney, after an investigation, publicly
stated that the lunatic, who acted
through jealousy, had mistaken his
man. But the truth never overlook
the error .
Green had been for many years one
Of New York's most distinguished cit
liens. He was close friend and po-
litical adviser of Samuel ]. Tilden, with
whom he lived for six years. He, more
than any other man, caused the con-
solidation Of the city of New York a.
1t Is now known. He was most USE
full citizen, but even his great name
could not stand the imputation-which
endured in spite of Jerome's statement
that he had been the dupe of COL
ored adventures. A movement that
had been begun to erect a statue for
him was quietly dropped. Then peo-
pie forgot.
Until the other day, John R. Plat,
a man 81 years old, brought suit
against the Elias woman to recover as
much as possible of $6S5.OOO that he
claimed to have given ner in eight
years, under threats of exposure Last
year the connection. made years ago in
the usual way, cost him, he said, 1885,
900.
The suit unveiled an amazing series
OF condolences. The house in which
the Elias woman lived stood beside one
that was its double in appearance,
where Mr.. Green used sometimes to
call upon nephew. Green, like Plat,
was old and feeble and wore a short
white beard. The crazy negro mistook.
That was all.
It is also entirely proper now to say
that even Senator Platt's name was
mentioned, though never printed. in
connection with the case, when Green
was killed. The rumor ran among men
about town that IAN old, white-whis-
kered man named Plat" was the per.
son who had awakened the ire of the
negro. The white beard and the name
that was enough. Of course Senator
Platt knew no more about the case
than he read In the newspapers.

PANAMA HAT wEAvERs AT WORK.

hats which sell in London, Paris, New
York or Chicago for $50, 800, or even
$500. One hears the story that the best
hats are woven under water that n
heated almost to the boiling point, and
that it requires months to produce the
finished article, and hence the high
price. Such stories are good enough to
laugh at, but are not worthy of credit.
for no hat is ever thus produced. Mois-
ture and high temperature are quite
essential conditions for the production
of the best hats, some of the finest be-
ing woven at night either by candle or
moonlight when the moisture and heat
are at the most favorable state.
b Until few years ago practically all
the Panama hats were made at Jipijapa,
in Ecuador, but now there is extensive
hat weaving at Monte Christi, at higher
altitude. Men, women and children sit
about the yard or in the doorways Of
their bamboo houses, weaving the hats
over wooden blocks placed between their
knees. In early morning and evening
the best climatic conditions are found,
and it is then that most of the work is
done During the heat of the day the
straw becomes too brittle for safe and
successful manipulation, but water is
never used upon the straw, the weavers,
however, occasionally dipping their
fingers in a convenient jar of water sit
ting before them.
The Indians begin to weave from the
center of the crown, and the beginnings
called button. The shape of the button,
to an expert, determines where the hat
has been made-Ecuadorian, Peruvian
Or in some other republic.
The children are put to work to learn
the art of their ancestors at an early age,
beginning at seven, and on very coarse
straw In Is years the art will have
been mastered for fairly good hats, but
for Panamas par excellence it requires
q lifetime of close application.
In January the peasants begin to plant
the seeds of this palm and are usually
