to Architect.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 3.-Strenuous
efforts to break down the defense in the
trial of the. state capital conspiracy suit
were made Fby the commonwealth in the
cross-examination today of ex-Auditor Cen
eral Snyder, the first of the defendants to
be called as a witness in his own behalf.
Snyder declared that he did not know
at the time the $5,5OO.OOO contract for fur
nishing the capitol was awarded to John
Fl. Sanderson, one of the defendants, that
the schedule did not specify the quantity
of the articles to be furnished. Snyder
testified that he made no effort to ascer-
tain this and that he trusted to Architect
Huston.
It was brought out that while Sanderson
was the lowest bidder on all but three of
the forty-one items in the schedule, that
the state would have saved $l,9OO,0OO If the
contracts had been awarded to the lowest
bidder on those three items.

Personality in Business.

Personality in business is an i'm
portant thing There are the John

the line from the time OF A. T. Stew
art and Taylor and you will find that
there is a great deal In a name In
the mercantile line. In every town
the successful stores can be picked
out at glance. In some towns there
seems to be an inclination to avoid
the use OF signs, and there are stores
with nothing to indicate the stocks of
goods carried or the names OF the
owners. Generally the interiors OF
these stores are in harmony with the
outside-an indication OF lax business
methods and kind OF catch-as-catch-
can AFFAIR, as far as gathering in trade
is concerned. Such methods have
never been known to pay well. In
fact. Il is the hustler who wins out,
