The venerable Senator Pettus of
Alabama, was a lieutenant in the
Mexican war: he rode horseback to
California with the •'forty-niners"
ami was advanced from the rank of
major to that of brigadier general In
the confederate army. Me was ad
mitted to the bar at Gaimtville, Ala.,
when he became twenty-one years
of age.
The fanners' trust, an organiza
tion said to he strong in Indiana.
Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky. Wisconsin,
Nebraska Oklahoma, Missouri and
Texas, aims to get such prices for the
products of tiie farm ns the farmers
think they ought to have. The next
move of the farmers’ trust will bo
an effort to perfect a union with or
ganized labor throughout the United
States. it is argued that the far
mers of today are far better fixed to
command the situation than they
were in former days oT the farmers’
alliance when the farmers of the
e.st were so largely covered by
morgages.
Philadelphia’s city election has
gone republican by a majority much
smaller than those rolled up by the
machine in former years yet the re
sult does not Indicate that the re
form forces have recovered from the
blow they suffered last year In May
or Weaver’s defection and In the de
feat of Lewis Emery. Jr. in tlie state
contest for governor. The fusion
gains in the two branches of the
city council, of course, are not to he
ignored, since the Increase of the re
form element in that body must be
a substantial advantage to the cause
of goo | government The new may
or. John .E Reyburn, may prove to
be a higher type of official than
most of the Philadelphia mayors in
the past. Although he represents
tbo organization, which remains un-j
der the Penrose domination, lie re-!
ceived his nomination in a direct
primary and he has asserted his
independence of boss denomination
I tiy Englishman is too ready to]
look upon advertising as a mere ad
join t io his business and therefore
to trea' it with scant attention; the
American realizes tliai it is an es
sential, either making himself a mas
ter of its arts or employing the best
expert advice that he can buy. The
Englishman believes that he can ob
tain the service of a first-class ad
vertising man for the salary of a
chief clerk; the American will pay
a price which would be startling if
offered to the manager of a business
in this country. The Englishman Is
slipshod, the American spends time,
thought and mone> in detail. The
Englishman aims at what he thinks
will prove good enough, the Ameri
can is not content with anything that
he believes can be better. The Amer
lean leaves no stone unturned in or
der to spend his advertising allot
ment to the best advantage; he
mean# to make every rent tell The
Englishman too frequently works at
haphazard, many pound of his ex
penditure failing to tell, the blame
being laid by him on advertising In
stead of on th< advertisments. Thr>
American Is ever seeking to discover
new ways of applying old means, new
methods of making hi advertise
mentfl more attarcilv* and more
convln in. and more compelling.

When the steamship Minnetonka
arrived from London the first of the
so-called ‘'sea flats” was exhibited
in tills port. They are located on
"Saloon square” overlooking the At
liinMc, and thus swept constantly by
ocean breezeH when not in port. No
stairs, no dogs, no janotirs and a
change of scene every few minutes.
Saloon square” Is a broad corridor
amidships, and the ”fluts” flank eith
er side. No. I has a drawing room,
iuing room, two bed rooms, a smok
ing room and bath. In No. 2 the
drawing ancf smoking ooms have
h.on omitted. These "flats” are the
extreme development thus far In
shipbuilding. They offer every home
like advantage that fancy can devise
or imagination suggest. There are
no back yards, and thus no noctur
nal feline songsters. If there he rub
ber plants they are cared for by
t lie stewards, and the servant girl
question ’ is omitted. The apart
ments were not occupied on the
present trip, because the decorators
had not completed their embellsh

BRYAN’S VIEWS
ON JAPANESE
.Chicago, Feb. 22.—William Jen
nings Bryan drifted quietly into the
< ity yesterday and in the evening
delivered a lecture at the Y. M. C.
A. auditorium. President Roosevelt
was referred to several times by Mr.
Bryan, who announced early that he
was going to try to keep uway from
politics.
“The teachings of Buddha and
Cohfuclous aro dying out,” he said.
The problem of Japan today is
whether, with the ideas she is bor
rowing from us, sho will accept a
vital religion. More and more the
sermon on the mount. Is ringing
round the world. The philosophy of
lie Chinese prilosopher Is the thing
that has kept that country back for
2.000 years.”

THE LOW PRICK THEY
SOLD AT.
New York. Feb. 2 2.—Wall street
was surprised at the low price at
which the new Pennsylvania three
year & per cent, notes wore offered
In the market. The notes were sold
by Kuhn. Loeb & Co. at 99 1-2 per
f ont, commission on lots of I l.oOO,
000. They were offered early in
the day at 99 1-16 and interest. La
ter on quotations were current of
99 and Interest and intimations wore
given that in some special cases the
notes had actually been sold at loss
than the issue price.
Brokers were at first at a loss to
reconcile the low quotations with the
statement confirmed by Kuhn, I^eob
*■ Co. that all the #00,000.000 in
notes had been su'd Investigation
however, disclosed this was due to
an ararngement made l>> the bank
ing firm and the Pennsylvania Rail
way with bank subscribers. An
agreement was made which the rail
way will deposit with tlie bank for
an average period of fivo months an
account of money equal to J,he
amount of notes purchased at the
rate of 3 per cent, interest.
