The Measure of a. Man i.

The measure of q man to
day cannot be taken by what
he did yesterday; for at any
moment some undiscovered
undreamt of fire of genius
smouldering in his brain, may
burst forth and illuminate
the world with a new dis
covery, a great invention, a
understanding coup in fl
nancial centers or some other
manifestation Of potencen-
tials more powerful than
might seem. Neither can we
estimate q man by what he
has achieved in property
values, for some Of the really
useful men Of this land other
nations have been men of beg
carly incomes who died with
out estates. !
This question of what is a |
man is an all absorbing onel

In a recent conversation
with the one of the leading
hotel proprietors and eaters
in the city it was learned
that 80 per cent of the de-
mand for meat is for 20 per
cent of the carcass of the
steer. The demand for the
choice cuts forces the butch
ers to charge big prices for
them, while the cuts which
are intrinsically just as good

PLEA FOR DISTRICT SUFFRAGE
ADDRESSES BEFORE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE COMMITTEE.
Charles w. Darr and Emmett l..
Adams Advocate Change in
Form Of Government.

An appeals to secure suffrage for the
District was made by Charles w. Darr
and Emmett L. Adams at meeting of
committee on law and legislation Of the
Chamber of Commerce last night. Mr..
Darr criticised some of the findings of
James Bronson Reynolds, who reported
the results of an investigation of condi-
lions in the District Of Columbia to for
mer President Roosevelt, and said that 1t
was not fair to have selected an outside
man to make recommendations for a
change of government in the National
Capital.
President Roosevelt, If he desired to
change the form of government, should
at least have selected a Washington man
and one thoroughly familiar with Dis
trict affairs to make recommendations
said Mr.. Darr.
He also said that while in his opinion
the present District government Is not the
best thing for Washington, he thought
that next to absolute suffrage 1t is as
good as any.
Represents Labor Unions.
Mr.. Adams, representing the Central
Labor Union. told briefly what that or
ganization thought of the Reynolds re-
port. Shortly after the report was pub
lished committee of the Central Labor
Union studied it carefully and agreed par
tally to a number of recommendations
and disagreed with others.
I'VE believe in one head for the Dis
trict" said Mr.. Adams, land for the COM
mittee of seven, but are decidedly OPP
posed to the committee of 100 to be ap-
pointed by the President"
Mr.. Adams further said that the labor
unions are in favor of suffrage in the
District and that a bureau of housing
and labor. would be welcomed here.

MONEY ORDER REFORMS.
Plan for Reduction of Expense of
Post Office System.

The committee appointed by Postmaster
General Hitchcock to investigate the
money order system today announced
the program that has been proposed for
consideration at the conference to be held
in Washington beginning October IS.
Money order officials in the leading offices
of the country will attend. and every i'm
portant phase of the money order system
will be gone over in detail. with view
to reducing expenses and increasing the
efficiency of the system.
The advisability of issuing money or
ders with Identification waived. and MAX
ing them payable at any money order Of
flee instead of at a designated office, as
at the present time, will be considered.
Other questions to be discussed are:
Whether more than one Endorsement
should be permitted, and would such
change increase the use OF money orders:
charging fee for advising the remitter
of payment Of an order; charging a fee
for issuing an order, or a warrant for an
invalid order, and an extension of hours
for the money order business.
Economy in the money order service
will be considered In connection with
preparing statements, auditing accounts.

The Louis Line.
From the Paris Matin.

From the Paris Matln.
The world has believed until now that
January %. 1893, Louis XVI was decapi-
tafed at Paris. It was Louis XIX whose
head fell under the guillotine. The as
sertion is based on the alleged fact that
it has been discovered that the name OF
Clovis|n German Chlodwig-is simply the
name Ludwig or Louis in an old form.
Hence the three French kings OF the
name Of Clovis must be counted with the
Louis line. and by doing this the enuner-
alton as it is now recognized falls as in
correct. 1t was not XIV but Louis XVIII
who befriended Pompadour and Du Barry.
The question as to whether the watch
maker Naundorf was really Louis XVII
is thus positively decided against Naun-
dorf. and it Is found that the people Of
Paris who shouted after the hundred
days. Long live Louis XVIII!" should
have shouted ''Vive Louis XXI

Ticket Commended.

NEW YORK, October 9.-After two days
of silence William Randolph Hearst an
nounced to a crowd of waiting constitu-
ents at a late hour last night that he
would accept an Independent nomination
for mayor of New York, provided that his
associates upon the city and county tickets
be substantially republican-fusion nomi-
nees as already selected. His statement
outlining the conditions upon which he will
accept, is, in part, as follows:
Il have decided to accede to your re-
quest and to enter this campaign against
Tammany Hall upon one condition.
THAT condition is that the opposition to
divided. If we were to place straight
ticket in the field, and the fusion party
shall have their ticket in the field, and
Tammany Hall shall have it's ticket in the
field, then the opposition to Tammany
Hall would be divided and Tammany's
disgraceful ticket might be fastened like
cancerous growth upon the body polite
for another four years.
Straight Ticket Preferred.
Il know that my personal chances OF
election would be better on a straight in
dependent ticket. But am not considering
merely my personal chances Of election.
THE fusion ticket lately nominated be-
hind Mr.. Barnard and in opposition to
Tammany Hall is composed mainly of
gentlemen who are at once honest, inde7
pendent and progressive. These gentle
men have for the most part freely and
fearlessly expressed their Independent
views and declared their progressive opin-
ions. I make exception OF Mr.. Barnard
because he has to date expressed nothing,
and declared nothing, either from unwill-
ingness to talk or from inability to think.
l cannot support Mr.. Barnard. but I can
and WILL whether l am a candidate or
not, support the rest Of the fusion ticket
nominated in opposition to Tammany
Hall.
