An Ancient Guild,

The Cutters company had probably
existed long before the grant Of the

corded between the Cutters and the
Sheathers, who were accused Of hav-

ing them with understandable sheaths
for knives, daggers and swords, to
which the Sheathers cruelty retorted
that the Cutters disgraced the sheaths
by selling inferior foreign blades for
English.-London Spectator.

HARRY HnDRETH, JR, DEMO
CRATIC CANDIDATE FOR THE
NOMINATION FOR ALDERMAN
OF THE SECOND WARD, TO BE
VOTED FOR AT THE PRIMARIES,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18th.

Harry Hildredth, Jr., who is well and
favorably known to all the citizens of
Chicago, the peoples or the Democratic
candidate for the nomination for alder
man of the. Second Ward, to be voted
for at the primaries Tuesday February
29th, was born in this city the latter
part of July, 1866 receiving his edu.
cation in its public schools.
At the age of 16 years, he entered
the service of Coke Brothers and Com
pany, wholesale dealers in Coal, where
he remained for five years, working
his way on up to the position of car
accountant, later on resigning that po-
sition to accept a more important
position with J. T. Rumey and Com
pany wholesale Coal dealers, faithfully
serving that company in various i'm
portant positions until 1890.
Then he severed his connection with
it to become cashier of the South Chi
cago Brewing Company which position
he held until he was appointed as as
sistant city treasurer of Chicago, by
City Treasurer Ernst Hummel, in the
spring of 1908.
As assistant city treasurer Mr.. Hill
dreth was painstaking city or public
official and was courteous in an emf
nent manner to all those whom he came
in contact with, honorably and faith
fully serving in that capacity under
city Treasurer John E. Traeger until
the spring of 1909.
Mr.. Hildreth can point with pride
to the fact that his father James H.
Hildreth, was a member of the Chi
cago Board of Trade Battery and
fought in the Union Army from July
1, 1862 to July l, 1865, and the di-
vision which his father belonged to
had the honor of capturing Jefferson
Davis, the head chief of the Confeder-
ate states.
For some years past Mr.. Hildreth
has been the manager and one of the
owners of the Hotel Warner, 33Fd
street and Cottage Grove Ave-, which
is one of the best and most home like
hotels in this city, as such he employs
many Colored people and treats them
with consideration, his head chef being
a Colored man who has been with him
for the past five years or long before
the idea had entered his mind to be-
come a candidate for Alderman of the
Second Ward, many of the maids are
also Colored and they always look neat
and trim while in the discharge of
their duties and the Colored help in
the Hotel Warner speak of him in the
very highest terms claiming that he
is a dandy boss and a high class gen
tleman.
Mr.. Hildreth left the city hall with
a reputation for honesty and truthful
ness which cannot be surpassed any
where and his word is his bond in all
business transactions, being at all
times friendly disposed towards the
Colored people, and being willing to
give them a square deal at all times
he is justify entitled to receive a
healthy per cent of their votes and
support at the primaries in his race
for the nomination for alderman of
the Second Ward.
