0ormly had made one blundsr; but
like . brilliant soldier he had sue
cssdsd In turning II to his advantage.
One advertisement was succeeded BY
another. Tho Gotham Freight Tr.e.
ton company was made the subject Of
soathing criticism and bitter attack
Of which the Saehem society and the
party in power came in for . large
share. And men everywhere began
asking what was to be done about It.
In previous campaigns the party out
Of power had been led by . series Of
foriorn hopes. men enthusiastic in
their devotion to the cause Of reform
and not noted for much Of anything
elss. Tho leaders of the outs took no
tice of Gormly. Inquiries began to
BE- made about him; his business
methods were Investigated; his 10
sources were discussed; his character
was analysed: his career made the
subject Of study. From being merely
q name attached to . familiar institu-
ton, he became within one month one
Of the great personalities Of New
York. The situation was Intoxicating.
Incidentally, he did not lose in the
estimation Of Miss Haldane BY this
exploitation Of himself, which he had
30 oleveriy managed that NO one
dreamed It was due to his own motion.
Even In those exclusive circles in
which Miss Haldane moved, which are
ordinarily Indifferent to any happen
ings on this side q the terrestrial
sphere. some account Of Gormly and
his doings. penetrated. That he was
rich and bachelor were the most in
teresting facts which appealed to this
set Men and women there began to
inquire ~ to who he was. It was Miss
Haldane's privilege and pleasure to
enlighten them so far a. she could.
without betraying the nature a their
confidential relation
There were several papers on the
side Of the administration. which were
owned and controlled BY the party in
power, that would have BEEN glad
indeed to have discredited Gormly:
but the closest scrutiny revealed moth
ing IN his life that could be used for
that purpose. Who're he had come
from was not known: but for the last
quarter Of a century 1t least his
course had been traced with coosid-
erable accuracy. and indeed there was
little Of It that was not discovered
and disclosed 10 the eager public. He
was quite willing to talk about the
Gotham Freight Traction company or
any matter of public moment, but for
the rest he was unshakab3y Silent. HIS

CONN TO BE MANAGER
win Unite With New Owners For a
Fast Team In 1912.

Bert Conn, who made quite a sue
cess in Johnstown the past season as
baseball manager for his second
year. is the popular choice for leader
OF the Johnstown Tri-State League
club of next year. according to
prominent members Of the Johnstown
Baseball Association, which supports
Tri-State League ball there. Accord
ing to Secretary John T. Griffin. one
Of the directors approached about the
matter, Conn will not be sold to any
other Tri-State League team for any
price, as the directors feel they have
the right to profit now by the expert
ence gained by Conn manager after
having been given chance by the
Johnstown association in that capa-
city.
The old parties in control Of the
Johnstown club have yet TO get to-
gether and set price on their hold
ings. although they have been urged
to get busy and give the new pro-
moters a chance TO build up the or
ganization during the winter.

HOW MANY MEN
KEEP YOUTHFUL
lFrom mac Social RegIsterl

(From The Social Register)
II is well known that within recent
years the men have become extensive
patrons Of beauty specialists and mas
seurs. Not only the fastidious. but
men generally who have a care for
personal appearance. This has alsn
led to the employment by many OF
means calculated to enhance or pre-
serve physical attractiveness, espe-
cially by those who abhor beauty
parlors."
OF these, perhaps, the most widely
used is ordinary mercolized wax
which explains the mystery Of the
silver-haired gentleman with the
boyish face The mercolized wax
obtainable at any drugstore, is ap-
piled after shaving, the same as cold
cream, only not rubbed in. This
gradually absorbs the dead and half
dead cuticle in tiny particles, reveal
ing the fresher, healthier-hued Skin
beneath. To secure best results many
apply the wax al night, washing II of
in the morning. Women not onl,
encourage husbands in this, but usl
the treatment themselves.
