IObn Burns, NEW cIotnes.

When speaking ia London John
Burns once had on a new SUIT which
attracted the attention of one OF the
audience, VINO s%neeringly remarked
that agitation seemed to pay. So Nj.
Burns told him how he came to get
the new garments. 1t appeared that a
sentative of a famous waxworks
show waited on him for permission to
exhibit him in wax and also for the
old suit he was wearing in order to
make the presentment more natural.
This the member of the Battersea was
willing enough to part with, except
for the fact hat 1t was the only suit

Humane Sentiment in Business.

1t is not true that business is nee
essarily hardening. Kind and con-
slant consideration is often displayed
in 1t. If creditors are satisfied of the
honesty and ability of a delinquent
debtor he is usually treated with len
ity. The relations between business
men and their customers may be soft,
,ned by fabrication of kindly sympa-
thy. They do not necessarily produce
any more hardening than results from
the friction of life in other spheres.
There is scarcely a considerable bust
ness concern which does not retain in
its employment old servants who
might be superseded by more efficient
men, perhaps at less cost. Humane
sentiment enters into business in
many ways.-New York Sun.

for it at that price. Striped bass

FOR CONTROL OF

MACHINE
Political Muddle in Penn. Will
Be Untangled Only at
Polls.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 20.-The po-
litical situation in Philadelphia is in
muddled state. Even the most as
tute observers cannot venture a pre-
diction as to the outcome with any de-
gree of confidence. The situation, in
fact, amounts to a crisis. The reform
forces bearing the banner of the city
party which led them to victory last
fall are seriously threatened by the
attitude of some of the leaders who
were active in the recent reform CAM
paign. These leaders, who are be-
levers of reform within the party, and
to whom the idea of fusion with DEM
ocrats is distasteful, are planning, it is
believed by many, to build up a re-
organized organization stronger than
that led by the quondam leader, Is
rael w. Durham. The intention of
these administration reorganizers, it
is claimed, is to secure delegation
from this city to the republican state
convention at Harrisburg in June,
pledged to the nomination of Mayor
Weaver
Capture of the republican organiza-
tion by forces identified with the city
administration is the keynote of the
political plan, and the results of last
weeks primary election show that a
strong beginning has been made. OF
the la delegates elected to the state
convention more than one hundred, it
is dclared, are controlled by the new
organization leaders and will support
any candidate for governor and other
state officers as selected by these lead
ers. In the list are many men of
prominence, some of whom have never
before attended state convention.
