nauses to do honor to Lincoln and
Washington. On the twelfth and
twenty-second of February the memo
ries of these two great men are per-
petuated in speeches which have more
than any other one thing. forecast the
future policy of the nation. In the
Lincoln and Washington memorial ad-
dresses public men usually find op-
portunity to give the people renewed
pledges Of fidelity TO the great and
never changing principles of honesty.

When IL comes down TO real poll

The Republicans are in al sorts CT

everything in their power TO outclass
them in the Gordian act.
Here is the bipartisan situation:
Mayor Gaynor has changed Tammany

F1ngy Corners, Democratic State
chairman, and Boss Murphy, of Tam

fight to the knife is on between Tim

man, and Representative VreeIand,

81 PETER HAS
= MADE HIS DEBUT
VISIT TO RUSSIA MARKS FIRST
FORMAL RECEPTION CUT
SIDE OF SERVIA.

The visit OF King Peter 70 Russia
this spring will be his nrst reception
by foreign sovereign since ne as
cended the throne OF ServiA after the
assassination of the rival house Of the
Obrenovitch. The Significance nf the
visit lies less In its effect Gpon Bal
kan politics than in the influences upon
other monarchs OF the Cars rSS>eg-
milton of the Servian king.
Peter has apparently tried to give
Servia pacific rule, and TO a eonsid-
cradle extent he has succeeded. His
dignified diplomatic course during The
recent Balkan troubles had not little
to do with winning the sympathy OF
Europe for his country and with induc-
ing Austria to adopt a policy of con-
Citation instead of subsection.
Servia has been steadily setting hey
house in order, and the way in which
she emerged from the Friedjung trial
is recent happy instance OF her eff
Tort to remain free from unpleasant
complications with her neighbor across
the Danube. The politicians who for
long time played their country mere
ly as pawn in the game between
Russia and Austria have been sue
ceeded by others who seem to have the
peoples real interest at heart. As a
result political revolutions with the
attendant changes in ministries and
cabinets have been less frequent.
Servia has been endeavoring, too, to
secure new markets where in times of
stress she may be Independent of Aus
TRAN customs. A large part of her
trade has been turned to the south,
ana she has opened Il profitable cattle
business with Egypt sending her stock
TO SaloniCa. whence il is shipped to
Alexandria. She is one OF the chain
OF states through which the projected
railway frCm the Danube to the Adri-
attic will pass, and in this way she
hopes to get under Russian and Ital-
ian auspices the Adriatic seaport and
means of communication with Monte
negro denied to her by Austria.
Another circumstance of Importance
is her improved relation with Bulga-
ria. While the economic benefits re-
sultlng from this IMPROVEMENT may
be less than formerly, since Bulgaria
is not now buyer OF agricultural pro-
duce, the political consequences prom
Use greater diplomatic freedom. Lastly.
she appears to have in Alexander an
helr apparent with a sense OF respon-
slbllity to the State, a respect In which
young Servia is most fortunate. for
such a prince has not previously ng-
ured in Servian history.
All In all, Servia has reason re- look
at the future enthusiastically. and to
nope that Europe will forget how her
king got his crown and Invite him
about, or II not him az least his sue
cessor.-N. Y. Sun.

VIOLET GLASSES
AIO TO THE EYES
REMARKABLE CLAIM MADE FOR
SUBMITTED WINDOW
PANES.

n discovery OF great value to those
whose sight has been impaired by
working under artificial light has been
made in this city. 1t WAS learned yes
terday that amethyst-tinted lenses
made from window pane glass taken
from houses in Walnut street would
cure blindness caused by working on
bright metals and under artificial light.
This glass is simply ordinary win
dow panes that have been in use for
more than seventy-five years In that
time it has been turned an AMETHYST
tint by the direct rays of the sun.
Philadelphia eye specialists are oD-
timistic in their contentious for the
glass. which is termed by the oculists
and opticians "the Philadelphia glass"
Some of the most widely known physi-
clans in the city are using 1t in their
daily practice, and say that it has
proved wonderfully effective, and that
the eye disorders that it will relieve
and cure are many. Although the first
announcement of the good results
from the use Of this glass was made
only about six months ago, t has re-
ceived widespread attention and Phila-
delphia physicians who were among
the first to give it a trying out have
received letters from other doctors in
all parts Of the globe asking for sam
pies of the glass with which to ex-

erected in the early part of the last

Bath Mitts.

Make up all the old Turkish towels
into bath mitts without thumbs. A
dozen of these kept in the towel draw
er will, as rule. be chosen for the
bath in preference to the wash cloths.
Sew narrow tape four inches long
lengthwise on one edge of each wash
cloth. Twist the tape once, so it will
stand out, and fasten each end secure
ly. 1t is far better to hang wash
cloths on hooks by tacks than to have
them forever dropping off the towel
rack or bar on the floor.
