PETITIONS ARE NOT TO BE CONSIDERED fonly Gray Will Not Be Influenced by Friends of the Candidates.

- Flaly Gcay, Sixth district congressbun, apparently Is taking seriously 'the tMk of appointing postmasters to jtbe four offices that become vacant 'In Wayne county In 1914. Applicants who attended the conference In the Jefferson club rooms last Saturday believe that Gray appreciates the necessity of nice political judgment to make the selections without Injuring his own political welfare. A tone of anxiety on his part was seen In one of the clauses of the application which candidates were requested to sign. The paragraph reads, "And I further represent and agree In return for the consideration of my application that I will abide by and accept without complaint or protest your final determination in making said Appointment." This is interpreted as a move on Gray's part to forestall, If at all possible, sore spots which the appointments may leave with candidates who do not secure the coveted plum. After the regular conference last Saturday, and after the reporters had gone to their offices, they were recalled by Gray to hear an announcement which he made to a number of applicants who were still in the club rooms. The purport of the statement was that petitions favoring candidates would not be considered by him in making the appointments. Petitions Tabooed. "No attention whatsoever will be paid to petitions containing long lists of names," said Gray. "These instruments do not show the true standing of the applicant in his community any way." Gray tien explained that he would secure information about the candidates from disinterested persons. He said that he would pay no attention to unsolicited recommendations, for in the premises such recommendations were from persons who were very friendly to the candidate in whose favor they were made. "I will take into consideration," he continued, "the statements of persons who are not Democrats. I shall ask Republicans and' Progressives for opinions, for the postmaster must servevall persons, and consequently the opinion of all should be secured. The applicants were left under the Impression that Mr. Gray would not .reveal his selections until he was ready to make a public announcement. Asked if Postmaster Haas would be left to complete his term in the Richmond office, Mr. Gray said he saw no reason for deposing him. "No complaint against his work has been registered, and I do not see why he should be removed." Mr. Gray will not go to Washington until the preliminary sessions are over. He said Saturday that the opening sessions are devoted to routine work, and as there are no legislative measures pending, he will husband his strength before taking his seat.

Dec. 4 Charity Ball. The Murray. The new bill which opens at the Murray this afternoon is said to be one of that kind that reaches the right spot and lovers of the vaudeville arc not taking any chance in witnessing this offering tonight. The lineup is a follows: Lord & Gibson, singing and talking; De Bourge Sisters, dancing, talking and illusions; Levitt Dunsmore & Co., in a Comedy sketch; Moralis Bros., novelty jugglers, and Carl Byal & Dora Early, two of the most popular singers In Vaudeville. The Murrette. Today and tonight at the Murrette a wonderful dramatic play is being shown. One that almost everybody has seen in real life, but never before has it been presented with a cast such as the Majestic company has got together for this occasion. The play is "Hazel Kirke" and the performers are all well known stars. The famous play is presented In two feels and 41 scenes together with an excellent comedy, making a program that will long be remembered. "A Modern Eve." "A Modern Eve" which comes for the first time to The Gennett on Thursday, Dec. 5th, was first staged at the Neues theater of Berlin, in August, 1911, under the German title of "Die Moderne Eva." Its success was Immediate and emphatic; the operetta soon became the talk of Berlin, and operettas composed by Franz Lehar and Leo Fall, scheduled to follow at the same playhouse, had to wait for production month after month until the sweeping vogue of "A Modern Eve" had run its course. The waltz song, "Goodbye, Everybody," (known In the German lyric as "Liebchen Lass Uns Tanzen") became the favorite of the year in Berlin, and within twelve weeks after the premier, 120,000 copies had been sold. Last fall Mort H. Singer, who has produced twelve musical comedies in Chicago during the past eight years, made a trip abroad, more to study the methods of the theatrical managers in Paris, London and Berlin than to secure foreign pieces for importation. Heretofore he had placed his faith in the native librettist and composer. But after hearing "A Modern Eve" he was 60 Impressed by the merits of the piece, by the haunting melodies of its score, and by its libretto's adaptability for the American stage that within a few days he had secured exclusive rights to it on this side of the Atlantic. It might also be added that the sum paid for these rights was larger than that paid for either "The Merry Widow" or "The Chocolate Soldier," and that he was compelled to compete, in the bidding, with four producing managers of New York City. "Bunty Pulls The Strings." On Saturday, Dec. 7, the Gennett will have as an attraction the dramatic sensation of two continents in the Scottish comedy "Bunty Pulls the Strings." The play is by Graham Moffat, a Scotch writer and actor, and is now in its second year at the Haymarket. theater in London, England. New York celebrated its 400th performance on August 12th at the Comedy theater, where it ran over a year and Chicago revelled in a "Bunty" season for six months. Messrs. Shubert and William A. Brady are the American producers. The title arises from the fact that "Bunty" solves all domestic entanglements that occur during the course of the comedy; in other words, she "Pulls the Strings." Bunty is the daughter of j a Scotch village grocer, Bunty's fath- j er, Tammas Biggar, is being induced to marry one, Susie Simpson, who, years before, gave Tanuoas some money to Invest for her, but he used It to pay off his son's debts instead, At the same time there appears Ellon Dunlop, to whom Tammas was engaged to fte

It UNITY OF LIFE. Cells of Animals and Plants Alike and Governed by Same Laws. Frotoplasni, the literal translation ol which means "the first man made," was the name given by a German sci entist in 1S46 to the shiny, granular. semifluid contents of vegetable cells. It looks like the wh'.te of an egg, and it can be analyzed into four chemical elements carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. It is now recognized as the fundamental basis for all life. The smallest particle of it goes through wht is known as the cycle of lifefree motion, feeling, feeding and re production. When in some unconscious way it grows a membrane for a covering or a little nucleus, a kernel somewhere within it, science calls it a cell. These cells are the same in plants and animals. Professor Jacques Loeh showed the importance of this fact Although plants, be explained have na nervous systems, they have "instin tive movements." In analysis of in stincts he bound together in the cell common to them the plant and the worm at the root of the plant as some day, perhaps, the tree of life and the serpent may be bound and he callod their reflex actions "tropisms." Then he pointed out that tropisms are mechanical acts that moth and fly and ivy leaf move in spite ef them selves in chemical subjection to light, heat and odors, which the scientist calls "emanations."

Sir Henry Lucy tells in the Cornhill Magazine a good story that he had from Nansen. the explorer. It amusingly illustrates the hardy health ol the Laplanders. Part of Nansen's equipment for his trip across Greenland consisted of two Bleeping bags made of undressed skins. On the first night of the journey Nan sen and his two Norwegiau cpmpanions got into one of the bags, pulled the mouth tight across their necks, and so slept in the snow with only their heads out. Before retiring to rest Nansen saw the three Laplanders he had engaged for the expedition cozily tucked intc the other sleeping bag. When he nwoki in the morning, almost numb with cold, he observed that the baf" in which he had tied up the Laplanders was empty and that they were nowhere in sight. He was afraid they had deserted him and, scrambling out of the bag. went In search of them. He found the three men fast asleep behind a hillock of snow that they had scraped togeth i er as a protection against the wind. "Ah, master," they said when asked to explain this extraordinary conduct "we couldn't sleep in that thing. II was too hot, so we got out and have had a comfortable night here." Floating Farms of China. like the wood merchants of northern Russia, who carry their wood on great rafts to Nijnl Novgorod. Kazan and Astrakhan, the farmers of the upper and central regions along the Yangtsekiang construct rafts covering as much as two acres of surface, and on the rafts they establish farms, where produce grows. On these great floating farms are habitations for the men and stables for the animals, pigpens, feed barns aud storehouses well stocked with provisions. The voyage to market is often 1.000 miles, and to employ their time on the slow journey the dwellers on the rafts make baskets and many objects of household use. Arrived at their destination, they sei! their produce, take apart and sell the rafts and return to their homes by the ways used by ordinary travelers. Harper's. Attacks on Tea.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK B Y HENR Y CLEWS

NEW YORK. Dec. 2. Thanksgiving week found the nation enjoying many reasons for a genuine giving of thanks. We have had a period of exceptional prosperity; a big and profitable harvest insuring its continuance for at least another season. The cumulus thus obtained from Nature's ooanty is giving fresh life to every channel of industry. Nor is this all. Social and political discontent are abating, and the country is promised a rest from demagogues and professional agitators. For this, too, we must be profoundly thankful. So far as volume is concerned business conditions in the United States are eminently satisfactory. Clearing House returns are running ahead of last year at the rate of from 10 to 14 per cent per week, the gains being liberally distributed in all parts of the country, although the largest percentage of increase is usually shown in the big crcp growing States. Railroad earnings are showing most flattering results. In a number of instances our great systems have manifested surprisingly heavy gains in gross returns; the result of course of heavy traffic, stimulated by a rich harvest. In the second week of November, thirty-sev-eti roads reported an increase of 11 per cent over last year, and in previous weeks the gains have been correspondingly good. Our foreign trade returns have broken all records and the total for the year promises to reach the hus sum of $4,000,000,000. In the last ten months new building operations have been estimated at $821,000,000, against 757,000,000 two years ago. Many other instances could be added showing our unprecedented business activity, but these are sufficiently convincing. There is another side to the account, however. Mere activity is too often mistaken for prosperity. The increased cost of living has become quite as serious a matter in business life as in private life. Profits in many cases show no such appreciable gain as gross results, and in an increasing number of cases profits are declining and rapidly running toward the vanishing point This is strikingly illustrated in railroad reports, which present relatively poor net returns considering the heavy gains in gross. Upon one of our large systems the ration of operating expenses to gross earnings had risen from 66.50 per cent in 1910 to 71.54 per cent in 1912. A number of roads show similar results. For this rearon the concessions granted to the engineers by the Arbitration Board, though smaller than at one time feared, are particularly significant. They are sure to be followed by corresponding demands from firemen and other classes of railroad help; so that the final demands upon the payroll of the railroads is an unknown quantity and may be serious in amount. In the case of the railroads the situation is aggravated by their imperative requirements for new capital and the higher rates of interest which they will be compelled to pay, thus materially increasing their fixed charges. For instance, the New Haven road had to pay practically 6 per cent for $40,000,000 one year to renew $30,000,000 4 per cent notes, an increase of $800,000 in interest charges. Like conditions prevail in many other lines of industry owing to the con stantly growing demands of labor for higher wages and the many other Increases in the cost of transacting business.

its history, a result caused entirely by the concessions to labor. While this was an extreme case, it is significant of the trend of events. Thirty-six Fall

River mills paid only 4 per cent this ! year, against 5 per cent last year and nearly 7 per cent in 1910. It is not to be assumed that the country is not prosperous. On the contrary, not a few large industrial concerns are still making very handsome profits, but the situation in this respect is decidedly spotty, and it is well to remember that our actual prosperity is apt to be exaggerated or misinterpreted by the activity and volume of trade rather than the margin of profit, the tendency of which is to decline in many lines of industry. Since new capital is only obtainable from profits or savings, the results of such a trend are obvious. Stocks were chiefly dominated by the stringency in money during the past week, call rates on two successive days rising as high as 12 percent. The stringency was explained by the low reserves of the banks, the withdrawals of Canadian money and loss to the banks by Sub-Treasury operations and by anticipation of December dividend disbursements. These conditions rendered a local calling in of loans imperative. The situation, however, was only temporary and not serious. Secretary MacVeagh did not consider it necessary to offer any Treasury relief, the tension having been softened by natural causes, such as liquidation in stocks and renewed importation of gold. Sterling exchange 6howed a sharp decline, and improved financial conditions abroad are likely to permit of further gold imports if necessary. Beating the Law.

FOR GRAY HAIR. It Can Be Darkened Very Cleverly by Using This Simple Formula. In this ape. when one's personal appearance counts for so much, and when both the social and business world puts a ban upon everything that denotes the approach of age. it becomes a matter of duty to those whose hair is turning gray to adopt some rational means of darkening it, thus hiding the traces of Time. An excellent, yet very simple solution of the problem Is to procure at the drug store an ounce of' bay rum, a quarter ounce of glycerine and a small box of Bar bo Compound, and at home you can dissolve the Rarbo Compound in ? ounces of water, afterward adding the other two ingredients. This makes a remarkably effective mixture for darkening gray hair, and at the same time removing dandruff and other Ills of the scalp, besides making the hair soft, glossy and "young-looking." It darkens the beard as well as the hair. It is applied once a week until the hair Is darkened, then every two weeks. It does not rub off or color the skin and Is much more satisfactory than the common dyoa and stains. Advert leoment) PIANO TUNING D. E. ROBERTS 15 Years Practical Experience.
