IS THIS PUBLIC OPINION?
Contributions From Readers on the Senatorial
Situation in PENNSYLVANIA

TO me Ediior Of the Ercnilg LcdOcr:
Sr-Scnator pcnrosc has again demonstrated
his dominance Of the organization Of the Re
publican party in this state and has promul-
gated a platform Of platitudcs and gcneraltics.
He Processes what his last Legislature refused
to enact into laws, albeit his professions are
far from binding party obligations to do any
thing definite and really remedial, and every
one is confident that he does not intend that
the next LEGISLATURE shall improve on its pre-
dcccssors. His intention to secure recollection
as United states Senator and the power he
wiods through his organization to that end are
the alarming things. Yet he can be defeated,
as the defeat Of the state road loan has
on the state. THOMAS ROSS

PASSED BY THE CENSOR

THTHEN you read in your favorite news
w paper that some one has found $1,000
pearl in an oyster, put it down to ignorance
or to the attempt to advertise the restaurant.
Pearls found i'm salt water oysters are worth
less So says Herman Myer father of the
American pearl industry, who has devoted
2O-odd years TO exploiting the fresh water
pearls of this country, from Wisconsin to
Arkansas, from his native state, Tennessee,
to Maine. Myers life work has all the
glamour OF romance. Born in Carthage Ten
ucsScc, he was sent to Harvard and was
graduated with honors i'm chemistry. Dur
ing one of his vacations spent at home, "A
fisherman brought him pearl That started
his downward career for his father, himself
a banker had wanted his son to follow in
his financial footsteps. But young Myer
thought otherwise, and, packing his grip,
went TO New York where he sold his pearl
to Tifranys the first American pearl ever
sold i'm the New York market.
There was a time when Oriental pearls
were worth their weight in gold; today the
ridescent pearl found in the rivers of Iowa
and Wisconsin, is more valuable than dia-
mond of corresponding size. And Myer is
largely responsible for this. Up and down
the inland rivers he travelled, on foot, by
train in wagons, preaching the value of the
gem to the fishermen telling them how to
find it how to value it, how to market II.
And the upshot of it all was that the self
same fishermen became So expert that they
doubled and trcbcd the price to Mycr until
the profit to the wholesaler was almost
negligible.

yet only 100 years back they were much
a novelty that they were being studied else
where. especially in England, with view to
! introducing thum into this country
And when it had been decided to introduce
/ them here, the movement that organized
to support them had its home in Philadelphia
Now the connection between the Ledger
I Building and this movement is simply this,
that the American Sunday School Union, hav-
! ing been formed. made the ancient building
then this site its headquarters and remained
here until about 50 years 1t removed to
it's new building on Chestnut street, near
/ Twelfth, from which location it again removed
only few years ago still further westward.
But the site was historic even before that
day. In the new view of the group of buildings
on independence Square, which en-, ellished the
! Columbian Magazine in $780, there will be seen
/ in the foreground an isolated structure, named
/ the Academy. Unfortunately it is only the
| rear of the structure that is presented to u.s.
| but it is sufficient to give us idea of the
! character of building which was first erected
! on this lot
! This building was erected for the then
! Acadcmy of the Episcopal Church, just about
the time the forfeiture of the cherter of the old
College and Academy of Philadelphia
complished, which, it turned out, good
/ thing for all concerned for that institution
raised its head again the University OF
Pennsylvania
The Episcopal Academy which still thrives
after more than century of useful service
in the cause Of education, organized in
1855. The Rev. John Andrews was appointed
its first principal, and in 1857 the institution
received its charter and also grant of 10000
acres of land from the State.
Its first home was Fourth street, below
Market, but this provided little more than
makeshft, and arrangements were begun for
the erection of the building Chestnut street,
west of sixth. The site of this structure is
covered by the Washington Building, 612 and
Gil The building still unfinished in 17ss
when the Academy moved into its new home.
But while the Fourth street house was toe
modest this was found to be too cN-
pcnsye, and it sold in 179i.
Subsequently it became hotel, and suffered
severely from the fire that destroyed Ricketts,
Circus at the of Sixth and Chestnut
streets in December, 1899 Oeller's Hotel, as the
house was known, was the finest hotel in the
city. Those historic banqucts of the French
sympathzers who wore the trcolor Cockade
and tried to sing the "Marseillaise" in French
as they waved liberty caps in honor of Citizen
Genet, were held here.
Talleyrand himself while in the city, is said
to have stopped there, and the celebrated Doctor
Priestlcy honorcd these affairs by his presence.
In those days the doctor resided for time on
Market street, west Of Sixth. There is a long
story to tell ABOUT Ocller's Hotel itself but
this is about Sunday schools.

American Sunday School Union came to this
