Dear SIR: You sell a good many things
BY The gallon Being decent man, you give
iaii measure.
You know what sc mean you kno~ that
short weight and short measure are common
Among-~ell, We hope there are no short
measures aud weights in your town.
There are, though. Ribbons and laees and
trimmings, sold by the dozen, measure nine
or ten yards. There is no complaint, because
.'ihey all do it," You have the same plague
ia your goods-ueaEly everything, canned or
bottled. cheats IN the =is-.ntiiy. Almost no
body gives fall Seighl IN a factory package
We are one Of the almost nobodies. We
sell paint. by the gallon, to paint your house;
aud our gallon is Just the same size IS yours
that you measure vinegar wiih-2Sl cubic
inches.
Good paint toO-Devoe lead and zinc
takes fewer gallons than mixed paint and
wears twice as long as leAd.and.oil
You own house. That's why we are writ
ing - you.
Yours truly

A Monstrous Mistake.

Mayor Timanus, Of Baltimore, will not de-
liver the diplomas to the graduates nor attend
the commencement exercises of the city high
schools. The Mayor is not pleased because
he was not supplied with tickets of admission
to the commencements which he could dis
tribute to friends Box seat tickets we're sent
him. but he wanted more tickets. He said he
was entitled to them, and because he did not
receive them he returned the box tickets to
the school board, and wrote that he could not,
with any sef-respect, take part in the ex-
ercises.
The Mayor said his displeasure is not
personal. The school boards action he re-
CARDS as a slight and insult to the high office
of Mayor of Greater and More Beautiful Bal
timore. The Mayors modesty forbids him to
say the slight is personal. But the people
know his high character, his great ability, his
love for the city and his sole purpose to drive
out partisauship in affairs, avoid grating, and
to give the people strictly honest business
administration, and they are astonished at the
action of the school board-but are not saying
anything. Baltimore has not had such a
Mayor as E. Clay Timanus. If Mayors Nc
Lane and Hayes had each been given batch
of tickets to deliver to friends, Mr.. Timanus
should have had two patches.
The graduates will not half appreciate their
diplomas, unless received from the hands OF
Mayor Timanus Such distinction as having
Mr., Timanus hand out the diplomas has never
fallen to any former graduates, and the sweet
girls, in dreams of white, will take little in-
terest in the commencement exercises without
the presence of the Mayor. Suppose the
graduating classes would decline to receive
their diplomas What an awful thing that
would be And think of the possibility Of
Mayor Timanus resigning Great goodness
what chaos would result No sewers, 10
park extensions, no Improvements in the
Annex. All would be lost. And this is the
situation because the unappreciative school
board lightly regarded the high Office of Mayor
of Greater and More Beautiful Baltimore. II
is perhaps in order for the school board to re-
sign and thus save the city aud the schools
from an awful calamity. There is only one
Timanus, and should he resign the Mayoralty
gloom and dependency would settle over the
city.
Since the above was written the school
board has assured Mayor Timanus that no
slight to him was intended in not sending him
extra tickets, whereupon the Mayor stepped
down from the dizzy height Of wounded pride,
and has agreed to hand out the diplomas.

MACHEN CONFEssEs.
Gets Light Sentence and Eleven
Indictments Against Him are
Quashed

August w. Maehen was taken to Washing
ton from the Moundsville (W. Va. Peniten.
tiary last Saturday to stand further trial fol-
conspiracy to detraud the Government. On
Tuesday he was to be tried in connection with
w. q. Crawford and George f. Lorenz, and
he cut his case short by pleading guilty, and
was sentenced to two years in the Peni;entiary
at Moundsville, and eleven indictments against
him the District Attorney Beach agreed to
quash.
In passing sentence Justice Wright, presid-
ing over Criminal Court No. |, District Of
Columbia, said he would take into conSidera
lion the facts that the Government would be
relieved of the expense and time necessary Ia
| further trials, and make the sentence much
less than if the defendant had not pleaded
guilty.
The two years sentence will begin upon the
execution Of like term given him upon con
vicuon on the indictment on which Machen,
Lorenz and Dilier b. and Samuel Croft were
tried about u year ago. One year will be
saved by Machen for good conduct in the
penitentiary. and will reduce the total penal
ties ON account of his irregularities in the pos
tai service to three years.
