DUNDEE. September 49, 1908.
This city of jam and jute is said to be
the most doleful town in Scotland and
the least interesting to tourists. The
guide book kindly warns all whom it may
concern to give Dundee the "go-by'' be-
cause it "Is not likely to be of interest to
tourists. 1t is too busy. too self-cont tain
ed and so thoroughly unitarian that it is
not a show place" We have found this
admonition strictly true.
A postal card printed and sold here
seriously and in good faith as a souvenir
bears picture of lot of grimy roofs
and a collection of tall chimneys rising
above them, half hidden under dense
cloud of smoke. The inscription under
meath reads. Bonnie Dundee
Specimens of It's Eumor.
There is said to be more solemnity and
seriousness in Dundee than in any other
city. A certain eminent divine of the
Established Church presbyterian and
one of the great preachers of Scotland, re-
cited song called The Aud Mares Died"
as an illustration of the Dundee idea of
numOr. II is very long, tneTe are d
dozen or more verses describing how the
unfortunate animal was afflicted with
every possible disease. The chorus is as
follows:
The auld mans mares deid
The poor mans mares deid.
The auld mans mares deid
\ mile abOon Dundee.
He said the people of this good city
considered this song one Of the funniest
things ever written, and in singing 1t
reached their highest pitch of hilarity.
He also told me of epltph that may
be found upon a tombstone standing i'm
mediately in front of the entrance of an
old church at kingSbury.
Here lies l at the chancel door;
Here lies / because I'm poor;
The further in, the more We pay;
Here lies as warm they.

PHILADELPHIA PROMISES WELL
Prohibition Vote in Coming City Election Ex-
pected to Reach 1000

PHILADELPHIA, PA, February 7-(Special cor
respondence)-The Prohibition party will come
out of the election of February Is in this city
with over four thousand votes to its credit. Such
is the prediction of City Chairman lockwood,
who estimated last fall that the party would poll
two thousand votes for the state ticket, and the
official count showed 2,OS7.
The Prohibitionists have nominated ward tick
cts in eleven wards, which is just six short of
other parties who have nominees in seventeen
wards.
A notable landslide is predicted for the Pro-
hibition party in the Twenty7fourth ward, where
Roland M. Eavenson, most worthy patriarch of
the Sons of Temperance of North America, is
the Prohibition and City party nominee for select
council, and in the Thirty fourth ward, where
John S. McQuaide, chairman of the Thirty
fourth Ward Prohibition organization, is
ming on the Prohibition and City party tickets
for common council.
The City party, which nearly succeeded in
wipng out the Prohibition party two years ago
on account of fusion is fast going to pieces
as political party although in few wards,
like the two mentioned above, it still yields all
influence
Utley E. Crane, Prohibition nominee for city
solicitor, will poll large vote among City party
people because of his former activity in that
party.
Andrew c. Scott and Augustus N. Graeff, can
didates for city magistrate, very prominent
in church work here, the former being ex-
president of the Brotherhood of Andrew and
Phillip, which numbers over five thousand men
in its ranks.
