ATTRACTS NEW TENANTS.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
A new method OF getting tenants for
vacant flats has been practiced with
great success by a landlord in New
York. The idea is so novel and has
proved SO successful that it Is hereby
given with the hope that 1t may solve
the problem Of getting tenants for wor-
ried owners Of vacant properties in Phil
adelphia. Taking advantage of the pre-
vailing trading stamp craze, the New
York man advertised that SO many trad
ing stamps would be given every month
for every dollar paid as rent. He rightly
argued that as the trading stamp has
been successfully used to stimulate other
lines Of business, il might be used sue
cessfully to stimulate the demand for
apartments His conclusions proved to
be correct. His vacant fats filled up
quickly with q class of thrifty tenants.
to whose women folk the trading stamp
proved to be an irresistible attraction
This owner now declares that he has a
better class of tenants than he ever had
before. and that his rents are paid with
a punctuality which he never before eY-
perienced. In consequence he IL an en-
thusiast on the use Of the trading stamp
to stimulate a demand for dwelling &C
commodations.
Many Philadelphia builders have been
accustomed in the past to offer q month
or even two months rent free in order
to fill their houses. and during the past
three years some Of them have been
obliged to make still greater concessions
to secure tenants. None of them. how
ever. as far as Is kno vn, has ever used
the trading stamp as an attrsctfon- The
idea looks 30 ridiculous that 1t would re-
quire- some courage on the part OF an
owner to try 1t, but as II has been used
so successfully in this particular in
stance there Is no reason why II might
not be equally successful in renting some

 REFERRING DENiED-The su- preme court yesterday denied the ap- plicatOn of F. C. Stuckmeyer, attorney for Francisco Rodriguez for a re- hearing of the appeal in his case. The only thing that intervenes between Rodriguez and the gallows is eXecu- tive clemency. Mir. Stuckmeyer said yesterday that he would appeal to the governor for communication to life sentence as soon as the mandate from the supreme court instructing the lower court to pass sentence has been received. Rodriguez was convicted and sentenced to hang for the murder of his wife upon the streets of Phoe- nix
