successive stages until he became q

life both politically and socially, with
whom he was continually brought in
contact. These influential friends lat

League, Of Philadelphia, which posi-
tion Of honor he occupies at the pres

earned for him seat In the Philadel-

Now that the election is over, Mr..
Stuart takes his latest honor just as
calmly and coolly as he did the lesser
ones which preceded it. He is more

DEVOTED TO HIS HOME.
Ex-Mayor Stuart is pre- eminently a
lover Of home life and home comforts.
He has devoted much time and atten-
tion to securing articles of beauty for
his residence at No. 1888 South Broad
street, Philadelphia, over which his
sister, Miss Cora A. Stuart, has ruled
since the death of his mother some
years ago. Having never married, he,
after the death of his parents, took as

look up to him as their best friend and
counsellor These brothers and sisters

Philadelphia and leaving the friends
for whom he has the most affection Is
not entirely pleasing to him, although
he appreciates the honor the people of
the State have done him. In speaking

Mayor Stuart said:

we will have to move TO Harrisburg.
Why, we have just gotten moved in
