(Special Correspondence.) rhlladalphla, Jan. 17. The fact that H additional delegate have just been elected to the Kepubllran state con vention from this city la a reminder of the fact that that Interesting gathering 'Will take place sooner than has been expected. While the primary election '. la Philadelphia on last Tuesday mainly had refenrence to the local contest for the offlca of receiver of taxi'H, the He publican Yoters of the city also went to the poll for the purpose of electing delegates to the state convention. Kx . in one or two districts factional lines -were not drawn very tightly in the se ' leqtion of state delegates. It is confi dently predicted by those who are In a jMltlon to know that a majority of the 1 delegate from the Quaker City will be friendly to Senator Quay. None of the men who are candidates for delegates announced their prefer ence) for any particular candidate, and far that reason It Is difficult at this stage of the game to make any attempt to. count any particular number of delegates for the various gubernatorial aspirants. It is no secret, however, that a large number of the delegates are heartily In favor of the nomination of Colonel William A. Stone. Unless there la some attempt to block the wishes of the delegates by the leaders tbejr votes wUl certainly be cast In favor of the man from Allegheny. The sentiment in this city has been very strongly In favor of Colonel Stone (ram the start. He Is a f request vis itor here, and has made a favorable impression upon all these with whom fee baa oome Into contact. He was a speaker at one of the annual dinners ef the Young Republicans few rears ago. and the forceful speech that he snade upon that occasion caused him s loom up se a formidable candidate (or the gubernatorial chair. Outside ef the personal Impression made by Col eel Stone, be Is conceded to have treat political and popular strength by re. msm of bis excellent record In the lower branch of congress. His sturdy defense of the rights of labor, his positive views upon the tariff and currency questions, and last, but by no means least, his firm and unwavering at titude upon the question of Immigra tion makes him one of the strongest candidates that could be nominated for governor this year. Colonel Stone has had a remarkable endorsement forwarded to him. While at is out of the ordinary for lodges of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers to bespeak their preference for a candidate for any public office, the action of Good Will lodge. No. 59, of New Castle, Is volun tary and Is undoubtedly due to the high appreciation in which labor Interests hold Colonel Stone. These testimonials coming so early In the campaign are very remarkable proofs of the popu larity of the candidacy of Colonel atone. The endorsement referred to Is con tained in the following letter received toy Colonel Stone: Good Will Lodge, No. 59, Pennsylvania, Amalgamated Association of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers of the U. b. New Castle. Pa.. Nov. 27, 1897. At the last regular meeting of the Oood Will lodge. No. U. A. A. of I. and 3. W.. held at Hed Men's Hall, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted: "Resolved, That we endorse the can didacy of William A. Htone for gover nor of Pennsylvania, knowing him to be a friend of the laboring classes In all his dealings, and in the public po sitions which he has already held; .therefore, be it "Hesolved, That we earnestly request all sister lodges to endorse a friend of labor and a man fully equipped for the position." Signed and waled by the following .officers: Thomas Jennings, president; A. G. Robinson, vice president; Sam uel Grigg, recording secretary, and Harry Sergent, financial secretary. (Seal.) TJnod Will lodge Is one of the etrong svKt lodges of the Amalgamated Asso- elation In New Castle. It embraces the employes of the Atlantic Iron works of that city, aiyl has a membership of SSe men. They are nearly all boilers and finishers. This la the second en- dorsement of the kind given Colonel ..-Stone within a month by such an or i sanitation, the first having oome from the employee of Jones at Laugblln's -.-.south side mills. It is said that there jrtl jt a re-markeable series of such txj're unions from organised labor throuFh the stale during the next few smooths, attesting strongly to the friendly regard in which Colonel Stone its held by reason of bis great labors lor tk-e cause of American tabor, e Tvry cttiaen of the commonwealth f Pnaey1vatila Is naturally Interested to tLe detail concerning the erection of the new state capltol building, and at the risk of repeating: some things Chat might have been knows before, I propose te five some of the latest news concern! the proposed new edifice. To begin with, the srehitect has finished all of tbe plans, and Is now waiting for the award of tbe contract, which will be snade la very short time. Architect Oobb Is rerjr proud of this Acblevesoeot. lie has designed many feuildings, pwbUe a a private, but he U eo coaflat thai the Pewoerlvaaia can wwrte that aw la wUUaa te risk his reputation on K. 'Teaawytvanla Is going to have the haadaomeat state building In the coun try," he declared, to The Inquirer sec ret pendent today. "The design la my masterpiece, and I am proud of It. My plans win cost the state SO per cent less la running expenses and ZS per cent less In cost of construction than thoee of any of the other architects who origi nally competed with me. The building will have plenty of light, and I feel cer tain that the people of Pennsylvania will be delighted with It when It Is fin ished." Some radical departures have been made In the plana from the stereotyped Ideas concerning state capttols, but Mr. Cobb declares that they are all In the nature of Improvements. At tbe last moment a change in the arrangements of the rooms was made, and tbe In coming legislature will see the senate chamber and the house of representa tives In the same relative positions they have occupied for nearly a century. Tbe commission agreed to this remodeling of the original plans because it was found that the sentiment was against any chance of position of the two chamber. The capttel will face tbe west. The senate chamber will be located on the north side of the rotunda, and the bouse of representatives on the south side. Adjoining the senate and house wings will be two large buildings devoted to department work. The entrance to the capltol will be through the center build ing. The west front will be five stories high, with the senate and house each two stories high. Back of the rotunda will be situated the committee rooms, arranged in a building seven stories In height The wings on the extreme north and south, in which the depart ment work will be done, will each be five stories high. The main floor of the central portion of the building will be the second. Vis itors will enter from the basement floor, and public elevators will convey them to any of the floors on the west front. In the rear of the rotunda, on this floor, private elevators will be built for the exclusive use of members and employee of the legislature. Exits te these ele vators are to be constructed so that a member can go from either chamber to his committee room without being I seen by any visitor If he so desires. In the center of the building will be a large rotunda. On the second floor from the rotunda one will enter on the western side the rooms of the lieuten ant governor and a ladles' reception room. Card rooms separate the two legislative chambers from the rotunda. In the rear la aa entrance to the com mittee rooms building. A memorial stairway will lead from the rotunda up to the fifth floor of the front and to a M foot gallery extending all around the Interior. From this will be the entrance to the pre room and to the public galleries of the two chambers. la each of these publle galleries there are eN feet of bench room. The senate library will also be entered from this gallery, and on the house side a lane caucus room has been arranged, Info which the house library can at any time be thrown. Local politic are In a cyclonic condi tion In the city of Philadelphia. Al though David Martin has succeeded In forcing his brother-in-law upon the Re publican ticket for receiver of taxes the prospect for Mr. Honey's election are far from promising. It Is true that he has received the nomination, but In this respect he le no better off than his op ponent. Mr. Newltt has also been nom inated, and he received his nomination In a conve. tlon in which It Is asserted that til of the 891 regularly elected del egates handed In their credtntlals. Mr. Newltt proposes to remain In the field on the ground that he was really mc choice of the voters at the primaries, and that the Roney nomination Is taint ed, and that It was brought about by Il legal and unprincipled methods. In addition to this there is a very strong popular feeling against the lead ership of Mr. Martin In Philadelphia. No one attempts to disguise the fact that the party organisation here has been used for the personal advancement and selfish Interests of a little clique of politicians who are willing to wreck th. party if necessary In order to accom plish their own personal ends. The fact that the so-called Business Men's League has united with Mr. Martin in order to force Mr. Roney upon the peo ple once more Is likely to prove disas trous to Mr. Martin's candidate. The people know and thoroughly understand the alleged business men's organisation, and It Is a simple statement of fact to say that the favor of this organisation will seriously cripple.

That much can be done there Is no doubt, and the resting of eye and brain by changes In the aspects of our homes Is one of the most telling. Make such changes as are possible, by rearranging rooms In the matter of furniture, pictures, ornaments, etc. Do something, anything, to rest eye and brain from dead-level monotony. It Is said that marked cases of In somnia have leen cured by changing from one sleeping room to another.

The work of the year can rertnlnlv lie so divided that monotony may be absolutely broken. A change of environments, even if to others less attractive, is beneficial, simply because It la a change.

At length, one night, a slight noise in the room awakened him. He opened bis eyes quickly, to see a small figure creep past the bed to bis pocketbook, abstract a bill, and steal silently away. He recognised his own son, a little boy. Tbe next day tbe father called the child to him. "I have been thinking." be said, pleasantly, "that I shall want your help In my money affairs. I am going to make yon my treasurer, if you will do that for me. Here Is my purse. It has $50 In it Now, when I waut to pay for anything at the bouse, 1 shall come to you."

To grow thin yon must exercise. Walk If you can, but better still, work; keep mind and body busy. Above all. renounce everything that comes from the confectioner. Eat moderately of underdone meat, green vegetables, salads and those fruits that are slightly acid. Drink but little, bathe regularly, taking tepid baths.
