IUCAII VOTERS J STILLPATRIOTIC Idea of Political Parties that People Have No Principles Is False. (National News Association) PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 14. The big feature of the two day convention of the National Civil Service Reform League, which opened its thirty-first annual meeting in the auditorium of the City club here today, was the speech of Assistant Attorney General Wlnfred T. Dennison, on "Coal Hod Politics." Mr. Dennison reviewed extensively the prevalent form of party politic as represented by the distribution of favors, or "bones" as he termed It, by those who were at the head of the organizations, basins his plea for civil service reform upon the millions of dollars that are wasted by inefficient labor administrations in unnecessary offices created solely for the purposes of patronage. In illustrating his crusade against "Coal Hod Polltica," or the domination of the machine through pseudo charity with a vote attached to each favor, Mr. Dennison reviewed the great political fights of the East in recent years, drawing conclusions from the Integrity of the men who fought for principle without favor, that, according to him, pointed toward political rectitude and the dissemination of ideas, as a better means of swinging ballots than the virtual purchase of votes through the dispensation of charity. Makes a Comparison. In making his comparison Mr. Dendlson said: "I reBent the fact that the organizationsof both political parties in our by Eastern cities are founded upon the theory that the mass of people have no principles and can be swayed only by those concealed forms of bribery which are involved in the distribution of "bones" and coal. "This amounts to an effort to divide the people of our cities on lines of dollars and not of character. That Is to my mind a shocking ignorance of the facts of human character. "The same political ideas were prevalent In Chicago until Mr. Fisher and Mr. Crane, and their group of young men, such as you and I, made Up their Municipal Voters' League, announcing their belief that the people of Chicago would not stand for crooks If they knew they were crooks. The league' went with this proposition into the actual wards, rich and poor, and proceeded to show up the crooks and they found that Bath House John, with all hia "bones" could not hold the poor voters against them. For fifteen years, by this method, the league has controlled the Chicago council, changing it from the usual stripe of coal hod body (with a membership, as has been said, very few of whom could have been "suspected of being honest"), to a body of public spirited, honorable men, on which it Is considered a high distinction to serve. "In New York City, much the same thing has been demonstrated again and again by Jerome, by Low, by Hughes, and by the present fusion Board of Estimate. What Hearst Proved. "In some ways the most interesting demonstration of the fundamental error of political organizations in their estimate of human character, particularly In reference to the poor, has been furnished by Hearst. We may think what we like of the soundness of his ideas, but has he not proved at least the fact Hint Idem -nore effective vote getters than coal." In speaking 01 nu.i. n.. tiers and candidates for office. Mr. Dennison asks the question, "What man of any big vote getting power has appeared in the last decade, or the past two decades, who has come up by the Coal Hod route?" He then goes on to review the careers of Hughes, Cleveland, Bryan, and peaks of ex-President Roosevelt in the following terms: "Consider also Roosevelt. As the historian Rhodes recently said, no President up to his time, made so great an advance as he for civil service reform. True, Roosevelt, unlike Hughes, having grown up in the transition period, believed in a middle course. He frankly yielded to the organization to some extent in the matter of patronage, considering that in the then existing state of public opinion it was a necessary evil which he

Millions of Follis Use Only Cascarets

They Never Have Headache, Billfousness. Sluggish Liver or Bowels or a Sick Sour Stomach. No odds how bad your liver, stomach or bowels! how much your head aches, how miserable and uncomfortable you are from constipation, indigestion, billiousness and sluggish intestinesyou always get the desired results with Cascarets and quickly ty. Don't let your stomach, liver and bowels make you miserable another moment; put an end to the headache, biliousness, dizziness, nervousness, sick, sour, gasy stomach, backache and all other distress; cleanse your inside organs of all the poison and effete matter which is producing the misery. Take a Cascaret now; dont' wait until bedtime. In all the world there is no remedy like this. A 10-cent box means health, happiness and a clear head for months. No more days of gloom and distress if you will take a Cascaret now and then. All druggists sell Cascarets. Don't forget the children their little insides need a good, gentle cleansing, too. couid not eradicate at once. Hughes, on the contrary, put the plow right straight through without any compromise, and that very fact was, I believe, one of the most influential sources of his vote-getting power. Concession Not Needed. Personally, I think Hughes demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that at the time when he was Governor, and Roosevelt was coincidently President, even Roosevelt's comparatively slight concession was neither necessary nor helpful even as a practical matter; but however that may be, will any one venture to assert that they added a drop in the bucket to the general public voting support which Colonel Roosevelt got by his ideas and action?" In speaking of tho need of civil service reform, Mr. Dennison cited the fact that Commissioner of Accounts, Fosdick, in New York had made a statement that over $15,000,000,000 in salaries were unnecessarily paid eacii year to organization men for whom places "must be found." We wish to call your attention to I the fact that most infectious diseases such as whooping cough, diphtheria and scarlet fever are contracted when the child has a cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will quickly cure a cold and greatly lessen the danger of contracting these diseases. This remedy is famous for its cures of colds.

Jan. 35 Polk-McGibney recital At the Murray. AH Week Vaudeville. At Coliseum. Feb. 28 Symphony orchestra concert. At the Murray. One of the best bills of the season is offered at the popular Murray theater this week have showed their appreciation of the various offerings by plenty of laughter and applause. Tom Kuma, the greatest of Japanese sensationalists does a gingerly specialty. He is a gymnast and acrobat meriting all the applause received. His work is so marvelous that seeing is scarcely believing. He veritably crowds one sensation after another and makes his act alone worth going miles to see. The Four Brahm Girls in a clever musical act is one of the beat and classiest acts of the kind seen here for some time. These young ladies play upon the piolin, piano and cello, while the fourth member of the act sings in a clear well trained soprano voice. Bill Halpey, as a dancer is easily a winner, and is absolutely the best seen yet at the popular play house. J. V. Bannister and Co., in their sketch "Auld Lang Syne." are most haertily received. This little sketch is one of deep heart interest and has just enough comedy to make It pleasing and take it away from the morbid. The story tells of the father, who allows no one to disobey him, attempting to force his son into marriage with his Irst cousin, whilst unbeknown to anyone he has secretly married to a distant cousin, working as house maid in his father's nome. Failing in forcing his son to marry the girl of the father's choice he turns the son and his wife out into the snow. After turning his son from the house he sits at his own fire place, smoking his pipe, picks up the candle, looks out of the window, sees his son go past in the snow and then with a cry of "my boy," falls to the floor and the curtain falls. Handkerchiefs. The words "pocket handkerchief have a curious history. The syllable "ker" is short for the French "couTtir." to cover, and "chief" te nothing; else but "chef," the head. Kerchiefs were used also for the neck, and that made them neckerchiefs. Finally when they became what they now are and were carried in the band they expanded Into handkerchiefs. Then when pockets were invented and worn in the time of Queen Elisabeth the term pocket handkerchief came Into use. The word "pocket" Is nothing; but a form of the old Saxon word "poke," a bag or pouch combined with the dlmiaattr "otM New Xork Wedd.

RARE FISH SHOWN III GOTHAM EXHIBIT

Almost Every Species Known Displayed Peculiarities of SomeNEW YORK, Dec. 14. Fishes, scaly t j and scaleless, mous green and suni set red, soulful fishes, and three inchers with murder in their eyes, spike tailers, like back side foremost sword iish, fishes that bite each other's fins off, fishes that build nests out of bubbles, and mother fishes whose neses are their mouths, fishes, who turn up their tails and die when the thermometer in their aquarium falls below 80, and others that feej fine when it jumps to 120, fishes blond and brunette, goldfish fan-tailed, and goldfish fringe-tailed, comets, telescopes and butterfly fish, all these all these and then some are spending a week's holiday gavotting around sea forests in a hundred and fifty tanks in the Museum of Natural History, where any one who likes fishes may see them for the asking. Members of the Aquaj rium Society are the exhibitors. I Some rare fish even the experts do ; not dare exhibit fishes so delicate that the change in temperature might kill them. Then it would be months and perhaps years, before the owner could fetch another from some jungle stream in India or from an oasis in the African desert. On some of the most delicate and rare, however, the fish fanciers on this special occasion are willing to take a risk. There is the butterfly fish, for instance. Isaac Buchanan, vice-president of the society, is going to show the only butterfly fish In captivity in this country. It comes from India, and has fins like a butterfly's wings. If some Hindoo could net a pair of these and ship them safely to New York, many a fish fancier would pay him $25 cash for them. Tap on the side of the tank that has a family of month breeders in it. Watch the mother open her mouth and watch all the well trained young ones, one after another, swim into it, and then see the old lady shut up the trap and swim around as if nothing had happened. For twenty-one days after they are born the mother carries her young this way in her mouth. They go out and play around and feed in the day time, but always go home at night, and when there is any danger from aquatic prowlers. These bad creatures, by the way, take up a lot of the fish fanciers' time. There is a little animal called a clincher bug which gets into the aquarium as an egg along with the fishes' food. When this bug hatches out it knows enough to do business. Then some day when the youthful Xiphopherus helleri or the Platypoecillius, or whatever the tenant of that particular tank happens to be, isn't looking, this miniature crab comes up behind him and bites him in two. Some of the tiny fish themselves are ferocious. There's the Botta pugnax, for instance. The males of this species fight on sight, and bite each other's fins off till one sinks. In the east, said Mr. Buchanan, when there isn't a horse race or a cock fight on, the natives will set a couple of these fish on each other and bet on the winner. Kven in captivity they are so bloodthirsty that they have to be kept in separate tanks. Then there are the expectorating Curamis. These build their nests by taking in air, covering the bubbles with saiva. and lining a mass of these with waterplants. On this bed of bubbles the female deposits her eggs. Then her work is done, and after that she must be kept out of the game, for the has the indiscreet habit of eating her offspring. So the male takes charge and watches the nest. If any of the young fall out he picks them up from the bottom by sucking them into his mouth and then gently drops them back into the nest again. Wrote of Scenery He Never Saw. The most notable Instance of a novel dealing with a country which the author bad never seen was Shorthouse's "John Inglesant." The second volume of that remarkable romance deals in the most detailed way with Italian manners and Italian scenery. Many of the descriptions that of TJmbria at night, for Instance, and the scene in the pavilion in the forest are charged with the very atmosphere of Italy; and Florence during the plague lives horribly before our eyes. Yet Joseph Henry Sbortbouse bad never been in Italy. Enthusiasm and the genius for assimilation evolved it all in a quiet bouse at EdgbastonLondon Chronicle.

A Wonderful Experience

With Newbro's Herpicide. While there are no thrills in the narration of Mrs. P. T. Nichols. 523 Broad St., Beloit, Wis., her story is neverthe less one of amazing interest. "Stricken with' neuralgia and erysipelas, I lost all my hair. My doctor recommended Newbro's Herpicide. I used six or eight bottles and now have a fine head of slightly curly light brownhair. Not a gray hair in my head. This is the more remarkable as I am middle-aged." While the results which follow the use of Newbro's Herpicide are always more or less astonishing, they are always natural. Herpicide destroys the dandruff germ, stimulates the flow of blood to the hair follicles and keeps the scalp perfectly healthy. It makes possible a natural and luxuriant growth of hair, except in cases of chronic baldness. While remedies said to be "every bit as good" as Newbro's Herpicide are frequently offered, one should insist upon having the original germ destroyer, Herpicide. That is genuine. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly. For sale at all drug stores. One dollar size bottles are guaranteed. Applications may be obtained at good barber shops.

I have never had much faith in dreams, but about a year ago I bad one which was the means of saving my life, and since then I scoff no longer. I dreamed one night that the figure of an old man dressed in black approached me and asked. "Are you ready?" 1, taking him for the "angel of death," shuddered and replied, "No." and the figure vanished. When I awoke and related the dream to my mother she told me not to worry over it, as bad dreams usually meant good news. A few days later I had occasion to visit a girl friend at her office in a large office building. At the conclusion of the visit my friend walked with me to the hall, where we waited for the elevator to take me down. When the elevator car came to our floor I was still talking to my friend, and the elevator runner inquired. "Are you ready?" I was about to say "Yes" and step in when the question struck me, and I glanced at the elevator runner. I immediately drew back and replied, "No; never mind; I'll wait for the next car." The car fell, killing the occupants. Anna Mandel in New York Telegram. Repenting at Leisure. Agnes was a little tot of five, with curly, flaxen hair, china-like complexionand a will of her own.

Agnes cheerfully obeyed the parental order and showed no spirit of repentance at the end of the first quarter of an hour.

WOOL GROWERS TO DEMAND PROTECTION

Claim Industry Is In Most Critical Condition of Its History (National Nerrs Association) OMAHA. Neb. Dec. 14 Fifteen hundred men who are as familiar with the names of Cotswolds, Hampshires, Angoras. Rambouillets and other varieties of sheep and goats as they are with their A. B. C.'s gathered in Omaha today for the opening of the forty-eighth annual convention of the National Wool Growers' association. ; Iu the size and representative char- ! acter of the attendance the conven- ; tion has never been eclipsed in the history of the association, which is one of the oldest live stock organizations in America. While the majority of the delegates come from the West there are many in attendance from Ohio, Kentucky and other wool growing states east of the Mississippi river. The flockmasters believe that the wool growing industry in the United States has reached a critical stage of its existence and they have come to the convention prepared for exhaustive discussion and vigorous action. Schedule "K" and the report of the tariff board will be the leading subjects of consideration. A vast array of statistics will be offered to show that the sheepmen are not responsible for the present high prices of clothing and other wool products. On the contrary, it is declared that they have not been making any money for several years. For the past year, it is stated, the wool men have actually lost money, because the manufacturers, as a result of the tariff agitation, would not buy except on a free trade basis. The convention will demand that the American wool growers be given that degree of protection which is represented in the difference in the cost of producing a pound of wool in the United States and in foreign countries. The association believes that the importance of the industry justifies its protection at the hands of congress . Attention is called to the fact that nineteen per cent of the people of Wyoming are dependent on the wool growing industry. In Missouri there are 54,000 wool growers, 42,000 in Iowa and large numbers in Humorous other states. The three days of the convention will be notable for the prominence of many ef the speakers as well as the importance of the subjects discussed. Senator Borah of Idaho, is scheduled for an address on conservation. F.J. Hagenbarth of Spencer, Iowa , will speak on "Schedule K and its relation to the Wool Growers." Other speakers and their topics will include the following: "Wool growing and the Tariff," Senator Joseph M. Dixon of Montana; "Breeding of American Plants and Men," W. M. Hayes, assistant secretary of Agriculture; "Consumers vs. Producers," Congressman A. W. Rucker of Colorado; "Wool growing in South America," Joseph E.

MOST CERTAIN WAY TO END A BAD COLD It is a positive fact that a dose of Pape's Cold Compound taken very two hours until three consecutive doses are taken will cure Grippe or break up the most severe cold, either in the head, chest, back, stomach or limbs. You distinctly feel the cold breaking and all the disagreeable grippe symptoms leaving after the very Irst dose. It promptly ends the most miserable headache, dullness, head and nose stuffed up, feverishness, sneezing, sore throat, running of the nose, mucous catarrhal discharges, soreness, stiffness and rheumatic twinges. Pape's Cold Compound is the result of three years' research at a cost of more than fifty thousand dollars and contains no quinine, which we have conclusively demonstrated is not ef

fective in the treatment of colds or grippe. Take this harmless Compound as directed with the knowledge that there is no other medicine made anywhere else in the world, which will cure your cold or end Grippe misery as promptly and without any other assistance or bad after-effects as a 25-cent package of Pipe's Cold Compound, which any druggist in the world can supply.

Ky., Dec. 14 Robert McCreary. of Chicago, who as a little lad romped through the old executive mansion and the old state capitol of Kentucky thirty-six years ago. had almost as bully a tine in the new capitol. to which his father. 13ot. McCreary. returned as governor after an absence of nearly four decades. The appearance here of the younger McCreary was a surprise to the veteran governor. He had not seen hia son in many years. When the son approached him in the reception line, the governor noted something familiar In the man's face, but he could not recall his name. "Well, who is thisT" demanded the governor. "Why, dad, I came down from Chi to see you inaugurated," said the son. There was a hint of tears in the aged statesman's voice, as he said: "Well, well." He could say no more. It is the ifrst time in the history of Kentucky that Gov. McCreary la 1 known to have failed to speak when the slightest opportunity waa offered. The Musie In Baltimore.

Philadelphia Is clumsy; Kansas City la commonplace; New Orleans Is constantly and ridiculously mispronounced; Pittsburgh Is vulgar: New York la nasal and harsh; Chicago is cacophonous: Boston 1a bombastic; Cincinnati and Buffalo are absurd.
