 February 6, 1904. Dear Father Judd: Or should I say Dear Brother" You seem more like the first than like the t'other, Because your years entite you to be A sort of guardian to the girls like me.
 I think if we live to be ninety-tive And find that we are then as much alive To current happenings as you are now, And if our years of life shall Us endow With as much wisdom, zeal and good- ness, too, AS your fourscore and fifteen years have you, We may be truly thankful, that is sure,
 And glad that life and strength did so endure. We've got together, just to make things pleasant ..2....- On your birthday, for you little pres ent, L$#E We wishsea oh dollar we could multiply By ten-because we can't it makes us sigh;
 But if We did it would express no more Of love and friendship than this little store. We've brought some fruit, too, that we hope you'll eat, @ Also some f1owers-just for little treat. That i've" means all the girls you know so well, I'm speaking now for them, their mind to tell. As worthy matron, I've thought best to add t.... --. A present of my Own to make you glad.

 WASHINGTON Feb. s,--There is no radical change in the condition of Sen ator Hanna. His extreme weakness is more marked than heretofore. and his temperature is little higher. Those attending him, however, insist there is nothing significant in these conditions and that there are no developments on which to change their expressed belief that the outlook is hopeful for the sen ator's recovery. There has been a con sultation of pr, Rixey and two out of town physicians, but the only impor- tant development that transpirsd as to the consultation was that 1t had been decided to omit the evening calls of the attending physician so as to give the patient rest.
 Those who participated in the con- sultation besides Dr. Rtxey, the sur geon general of the navy, who is the regular attending physician, were pr. Osler, the expert diagnostician of Johns Hopkins university of Balti- more. and Dr. Brewer of New York.

THE WORLD CALLED.
Editor Hearst Says Story About $l,- O00,OO Loan Was Malicious.

The following appeared in the Sum- day Journal yesterday iR answer to an article that appeared in the New York World a few days ago:
 For business convenience the Star company of New Jersey has been in corporated as holding company for the three corporations publishing the New York American, the New York Evening Journal, and Das Morgen Journal, of New York city, all the stock of which several companies Is owned by w. k, Hearst, who Is also the sole owner or all of the stock of the Star Company of New Jersey. as well as of $1,o00,OO0 bond issue ot that company. These bonds are guar anteed in the usual way by the sub sidiary companies. Tn this transac- ton the Knickerbocker Trust company has acted as trustee. The statement made dn the New York World that the Knickerbocker Trust company has loaned one million dollars, taking a first mortgage on the several news papers owned by MT Hearst in New York city, Is untrue
 MT Hearst Is the owner Of all of the stock of the company publishing the New York American. MT Hearst is IuS UWAc1 VI dlA oL the 5IOCA VI UIlS company publishing the New York Wvening Journal. MT Hearst is the owner Of all of the stock of the com pany publishing Das Morgen Journal and Mir Hearst is the owner of all Of the stock and all Of the bonds of the Star Company of New Jersey, the holding company of these corpora- fionS.

CHANGES MADE TO-DAY.
Ohicer O'Hearn on Duty at Police
 Station This Afternoon.

In accordance with & vote of the de- partment of public safety, four regu- Jar patTolmeu. John Sullivan, John Byrnes, Thomas OHearn and Michael Sullivan. went on the reserve force to- day. This does not mean that they will have nothing to do in the future but sit on their yerandas and draw half salary. On the contrary, they will be very busy men from now OH, though, to be sure. they will not work more than half time. This afternoon Officer O'Hearn reported for duty and was assigned to beat in the station, where he will be on deck until [ clock this evening, when he will be relieved by Officers John Sullivan and Byrnes, who will remain at their posts until o'clock in the morning. They will come in handy In many ways, and after q time, when things have heen worked down to the point where they are wanted, various other places may be found where the reserve force men will come in handy. For instance, when the patrol wagon is ready for use one Of them can go out with it, rander the officer who sends in the call such assistance as he may need, and also save him the loss of time and trouble of accompanying his prisoner to the station. Besides this when a call is made at the station for an off, cer. and such things are of frequent occurrence. one of the reserve force men will be sent out instead of the doorlnan, who often had to jump down from cleaning windows or dis, connect himself from the mop handle In double-qu1ck time and rush into the public ways at short notice. The doorman will be used still to perform police duty in cases of emergency, but q iudicsous arrangement of the reserve force will reduce the number of de- mands made upon him and give him more time to keep things in shape about the building. Michael Sullivan, one of. the officers placed on the re- serve force Is stiu on the sick list. During his illness he will receive quar- ter pay, but as soon as he is able to perform duty he will be paid the same as the rest of the reserve force men, half the regular salary.

Credit Argument.

Our strong position in the credit os Is matter attained by uys daunted persistence in matrers of quality and littleness of price. backed by the most liberal and generous creds 1t proposition ever offered to tho pubs lie by the Guarantee Credit Clothing Go.
 Anybody can buy for caslst "T'ha<sa easy" There's no special honor in ths fact that one can walk into 8 stores lay down in cold cash the full price asked for an article and so becoma the possessor. Come to think of it it.r the cofdest sont of proposition. a mere transaction TO have credi5 given you is entirely different Naked you feel as though you were entitled to 1t. What great honor 1t Is to bs able to enter as store. select such goods as you want and arrange to pay for them in amounts and at timeal that are convenient to you. What q great dignity there is to credit, and how far reaching its beneficial effects.
 A large per cent of the worNdss business owes it's existence to tdnia great comodity. To buy for cash, then, Is very ordinary. Hut 10 buy on credit is always distinction that ono should be proud of.

WORKED THIRD DEGREE.

 Work on Twenty Candidates.

The four local councils of the Knights of Columbus were honored yesterday with a visit Of a degree team from Massachusetts, which ex- emplified the work of the third de- gree upon twenty candidates The degree team was in charge of District Deputy Louis Watson, of Boston. and Warden John J. Crockrell of Medford, Mass. They worked the third degree in manner which elicited much ap- plause from the many members in at fendance. Naturally the candidates did not enjoy the first class exempli- fication so well. The degree work was performed somewhat differently than 1t has been done by other teams in this city in the past. District Dep uty Watson was assisted by State Deputy James Tevlin, of New London District Deputy Hearns, of Nauga- tuck, and James A. Hynes, of this oity.
 In the afternoon the second de- gree was worked upon fonr candi- dates. During the intermission be- tween the working of the second and third degrees a banquet was served visiting state officers and the de- gree team from Massachusetts there were guests from Ansonia, Naugatuck and ot1ar towns.
 The degree team consisted of the following, District Deputy Louis Watson. of Boston: Warden John J. CrockreIl, Medford: Andrew J, Kim ney. Chelsea. captain of the guard; Joseph Dacy Joseph Muldoon, Jos eph Sheehan, Edward Skepto and Geo Kelly, all of Boston.
