What is the secret Of your success2'' said the
writer to Alderman Pascay, lizard work, said he
without moments hesitation. ''You are In here
frequently, don't you always find me bllsy?" The
writer could not deny this for Mr. Pascay is always
at his cutting table during business hours and from
the work and the looks of the wooens piled up on the
tables.
No can doubt that he is making his industry
count. Mr.. Pascaly is good tailor too. He under
stands the merchant tailoring business from to e.
he seldom has msft and it is said that the suits
made by him often look well for an entire year But
he IS not only good tailor but he is good al-around
business man and the advice and assstances he rem
ders his friends and acquaintance is often worth as
much or more than that of the paid attorney It is
not necessary to speak of the character of this man
for honesty and integrity The fact that he is one of
the city fathers naturally indicates that he is held
in high esteem by his neighbors and that is about the
best testimonial can have.

} New York. Feb. 29.-Having blocked the
plan of the Oriental Banks directors for

The application for receivers for the
Mechanics ano Traders. like that in the

The directors of the Mechanics and
Traders believed that the plan would be
accepted. and that the bank would be al

eeivers came therefore. as a complete
surprise TO them
In political circles tonight a good many
persons thought they could see in the ap-

him to name receivers who would be ac-
