SIMPLE SHOE LACE FASTENER.

Az
A shoe fastener that is popular Just
now with women keeps the strings
from working loose willie walking and
is SO constructed that any size ribbon
bow can, be held in place.
The fastener is made from one piece
of German silver wire that Will NOT
tarnish, and is a very simple contriV-
ance, having two protecting arms that
lock the laces and bows into position
on cross piece that turns up at either
end, preventing slipping. The TWO
arms. slightly bent at the ends. form
two spiral springs at the top OF the
holder before they are twisted into 'he
bottom cross piece.
One of the advantages OF the fastener
is the fact that 1t is SO fiat that me
laces or ribbon bows are not buncheo
uppaturally above the instep. When
locked over a ribbon or lace 1t Is only
mn eighth Of an inch wide. and is not
visible. When the arms are unfastened
the ribbon, and width desired, Is
slipped 1t and tied in a pretty bow
knot. then these projecting pieces are
mt under the laces that have been
tied once, and locked, holding the rio'

must be dealt with as 1t is, however; so he rec
ommends that the Mayor make personal COM
plant and do what he can to spur the District
Attorney to action. Then If an indictment fails,
the responsibility for that failure can be clearly
fixed. Says Mr.. Root, with a significance that
cannot be mistaken:
Grimes committed by who have political
power often sheltered behind official indif-
ference and inactivity, and then some one has
to do more than his duty to secure justice. and
you viii not be the first public officer who has
done a great public service against the re-
sistance OF those from whom the service ought
to come There is more at stake here than the
mere punishment of isolated offences. There is
the question whether your city shall continue to
be governed oy criminals or shall take its place
on the list of American cities capable OF honest
self government
This rebuke, from the mouth of the next Sec
retary Of State, should be weighed not only by
District Attorney Bell, but by every other Penn
sylvania official whose attitude toward the Phil
adelphia exposures has been one of inactivity
and apathy. Senator Boies Penrose and Governor
Samue! W. PenDypacker would do well to read
and inwardly digest Mr.. Roots refreshing and
candid utterances. So would every politician in
Pennsylvania whose anxiety TO "save the organ
iZation' is greater than his desire to see crime
punished and honest government re-established.

A HELPFUL LETTER

Secretary Roots acceptance OF a Cabinet post
has compelled his withdrawal as counsel from
the prosecutions which Mayor Weaver has in
Et1tuted. is nst1tuting. against the politicians
who have misgoTerned and plundered Philadel-
phia. But in surrendering this employment Mr..
Root has written letter which cannot but en-
courage the Mayor and his associates TO fresh
efforts and inspire them with fresh confidence
IN their ability 10 bring the guilty conspirators
10 justice. The letter was undoubtedly intended
10 have, and viii have, q twofold effect-frst,
legal, and then moral. Coming from lawyer
of Mr.. Roots distinction, its logic brushes away
the subterfuges which In the last week or two
have been employed 10 retard the Indictment Of
certain formerly prominent Republican ring
leaders. Coming from a man who is about 10

velts Cabinet, ii expresses in unmistakable
tones the impatence with which Republican
administration looks at efforts 10 shield wrong
doors OF any sort because Of their political SER
Wees or political associations.
Friction has recently developed In Philadel-
5hia over the proposed indictment Of Durham
and the McNichois-for-ner heads OF the Repub-
lican machine-for conspiracy 10 defraud the
city on public improvement contracts. Mayor
Weaver and his chief local adviser Judge Cor
don. held that the evidence already obtained In
The Caven and Hill proceedings justified the
prosecution OF the members of the celebrated
contracting firm, whose word was so long law
with the Public Works Department and the City
Councils The District Attorney, lawyer whose
political and personal relations with the men
sought TO be indicted were known TO be more or
less intimate, could find no warrant in the evil
dence for entering criminal charges on behalf

insisted that the Mayor would have 10 make
complaint personally and thus get the matter
before city magistrate.

THE LATEST HOT "sPELL.r

One of the oldest things about yesterdays s
weather In this city was the extremely low hu-
midity. What that signifies will be easily un-
derstood if enc recalls the arrangement of one
well known type Of hygrometer. Two standard
thermometers are placed side by side, the bulb
of one being covered with muslin, for the auto
matte wetting of which suitable means are
provided. Evaporation from the cloth cools the
mercury, and that operation is controlled by the
amount of moisture which the air already con-
tains. Last week there were several days when
the wet bulb reading was only from tO.,S
degrees lower than that of the dry bulb ther
mometer The latter registered SS or 50 degrees,
say, and the former a or rs. Yesterday there
were times when the two readings were 20
or more degrees apart.
The dry bulb instrument was beating its own
record for the current year and closely ap-
preaching the highest level attained at Uncle
Sans observatory in July go degrees in 1898 and
190D but the wet bulb reported temperature of
only about "A. The humidity at noon yester-
day was officially reported at 30 per cent and al
2:30 p. m. 35 per cent. The former figure meant
a difference of 10 in the two readings, and
the latter a difference of p. Inasmuch as the
skin In summer is in condition closely akin to
that of the covering of wet bulb thermometer
that instrument gives a better indication of
comfort, so long a person remains in the
shade and is fairly inactive, than does the ordl-
nary dry bulb instrument.
Another curious circumstance, though it was
unpleasantly suggestive. was the singular uni
formity in the maXima reported on Monday at
points widely separated. Hartford, Albany
Binghamton, Scranton, Louisville, Chicago, Mil
waukee, Davenport Kansas City, Omaha and
North Platte all acted like carefully drilled dele
gates to a political convention and cried with
one accord, or a part of this uanimity is
the result of an aversion that the Weather Bu-
reau has long entertained for odd numbers. Oh
servers have been instructed so to report the
temperature at the regular morning and even
ing hours Of observation, and also the minima
and maxima, that no fraction will be left when
an average is obtained by addition and division.
The practice is not without drawbacks, but
these need not be considered here. In spite Of
the probability that some of the "94s'' In Mon
days record should have read "95," it is Won
derful that so close an approximation to abso
lutte uniformity should have been observed over
wide an area
