Every American wants to seo the mar
velous scenery of the Grand Canon of
Arizona, but not all get the opportunity.
The trip to the West Is too cxpenslvo for

Foclflc Exposition, with Its exhibitions of
virtually all nations that will celebrate
the formal opening of the Panama Canal
and the linking of tho Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans.
There Is no expense to the tourist un

the guests of these newspapers and every
item of comfort will be free. Hotel ac- :
commodatlona will be provided In tho
most up-to-date hostelrles at every point
Where an overnight stop Is made.

Also It Includes Visits to virtually all
the most wonderful bits of scenery In tho
Great West, Including the old landmarks
alonrf the famous Santa Fc trail, tho
Grand Canon, visits to the Indian reser
vations of the Southwest, where the red
man still lives In the picturesque sur
roundings of other days, unchanged by
the spread of civilisation.
No expense Is to. bo spared to make the
trigone that will never be forgotten, and
absolutely complete. The lucky CO who
take It will secure an experience that
wouia cost them hundreds of dollars if
they had to pay for It.

A telegram was received today by John
Wanamakcr from Joseph P. Tumulty,
secretary to President Wilson, conveying
the President's appreciation of the action
of those who attended the dinner given
to Governor-elect Martin O. Brumbaugh
December 17 In sending Christmas salu

The telegram from Mr. Tumulty fol
lows: "My Dear Slri
"The President asks mo to convey to
you and to all concerned an oxpresslon of
his very many thanks for tho generous
words of your telegram of December 17.
He deeply appreciates your general as

DESERVING MOTHER
BEARS UP BRAVELY
DNDER BIG STRAIN
Family Sorely in Need De
spite Woman's Heroic
Efforts to Keep Wolf
From Their Door.
The wolf has been chased away from
tho door of a certain family of five for a
llttlo while, but he Is not very far away
and he may como back. Tho father In
this family Is too ill to work. The
mother is the solo bread winner. Some
day Mary, her oldest daughter, will bo
nolo to help, but that will not bo for flvo
years, ns Mary Is but 9 years old now.
Francis R. Lowell, n young college
graduate who wanted to make Bomebody
hnpplcr this Christmas, found this fam
ily. They aro not of tho typo that ac
cepts chnrlty or the children might now
be in institutions.
Tho mother Is a scrub woman now.
Once upon a tlmo she presided over n
comfortablo home. Just like tho
thousands of well-furnished, thriving,
two-story palaces that have made Phila
delphia famous. Then the father's health
failed, Whenever he Is strong enough he
Roes out now to look for work, but he Is
never able to remain at It when he gets
It.
So the mother has taken over tho con
tract of supporting her husbnnd, Mary.
Alfonso, S years old, and William, 3 years
old, and she has been doing It now for
more than a year on 122 a month. The
grocer near her home runs book ac
counts, but not with this woman. She
does not owe a cent. The butcher does
not know her. Tho family never eats
meat.
Everything has not been plain sailing
In the last year. Thin soup and Btalo
bread have been the staples In this little
homo. There have been doctor bills now
and then, and when these come along
they brenk up the painfully figured out
allotment of the 122 a month. The wife
and mother's wedding ring went to a
dealer In old gold after one of these oc
casions, When tho mar. who Investigated went
to the house he learned that llttlo Mary
had written a nolo to Santa Claus. Among
othor things she bad asked for some
meat for a Christmas dinner. Mary ex
plained she llltes meat She remembers
having, eaten a small piece early last
summer and It was good, she says.
Mr. Lowell has contributed a week's
salary to provide a Christmas tree, a
good dinner nnd some small gilts to the
members of the family. He also has re
ceived a few contributions, but not enough
to keep the wolf away very long. Unless
more fooVl and clothing are obtained the
woman breadwinner Is going to have a
difficult time.
WHITMAN TIGHTENS NET
ON SLAYERS OF BAFF
Bartender's Confession Reveals De
tails of Plot to Kill Victim.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23. The police be
lieve they have all of the missing threads
In the Baft murder case within their
grasp. Carl Rettlch, a Hoboken bar
tender, who was arrested yesterday on
his refusal to testify concerning an al
leged conversation between the gang
sters and tho men "higher up" which
took place In the saloon where Rettlch
worked, showed a chastened spirit this
morning and Is expected to "give up" all
the facts in his possession,
The police believe he saw the actual
payment of the blood money which re
sulted In Barfs assassination.
Rettlch has made a complete confes
sion to the District Attorney on every
point but one where he got the money
to retain Abraham Harawlts, a lawyer,
to defend James Moore when the latter
was arrested. But he has furnished Mr,
Whitman with exact Information as to
the time and place where the plot was
hatched that resulted In the murder, and
has promised to give this same Informa
tion before the Grand Jury tomorrow.
It Is belhved that his testimony will
clinch the case against the suspects un
der arrest and others may be taken Into
custody.

HEARD IN SHOP AND STREET
'MID GHRISTMASING CROWDS
What Happened at a Bargain (En) counter Observa
tions of the Eleventh-Hour Shoppers.
The spirit of "Peace on earth, good
will to men" was temporarily suspended
at the lingerie counter of a popular de
partment Btoro today. Bargains were
advertised real two-days-beforc-Chrlst-mas
bargains and women from the four
ends of the city had assembled to take
advantngo of them.
A dainty crepe do chine camisole was
the bono of contention between two of
them. It was a fragile thing, a mere
whiff of lace and ribbons.
"I saw It flrst," said Shopper No. 1,
"and it's the last one there. I cannot
give it up." ,
"I beg your pardon," Bald Shopper No.
2, frigidly, "but I had my eye on It be
fore you even approached the counter"."
RiDl Zlnl Away! They both tugged nt
the same time, and the camisole became
a .thing of rags nnd tatters, whereupon
tho saleawoman called on tho floor
walker to decide who was to pay for
damages. But Solomon, In all his glory
and wisdom, would have been Justified In
reneging on a case like that.
Overheard In one block on Chestnut
street:
"I'll never forgve mm it no gives me
the ring for a Christmas present "
"You can't make $J go very far at this
time of the year "
"If I did the right thing by Johnny I'd
get him a pair of shoes, but he's set his

COAL RATE INQUIRY MAY

New complications In coal rates In this
State may result from the investigation
being conducted by the Interstate Com

will be made In Washington after Janu
ary 15. Should the Commission order any
changes in through rates it probably will
afford another basis for action by town
and cities of Pennsylvania through the

ing from 5 to 27 cents a pound.
Many housewives who had expected that

are taking advantago of "damaged" tur
keys birds which Jiavo been bruised or

ing time. Tho choicest "Jerseys" are

At least. Grover Cleveland is 2Xot

roneously placed by the stenographer.
Tbe waivers asked were on nichard a
Alexander, a brother of the wonderful
