(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.

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. If It does not en
tirely ruin, any candidate for public
office who Is unfortunate enough to
receive It

No woman who has never tried li
can conceive of the rest anil plcnsuw
resulting from chance. Sameness 1
got only fatal te health, but to cxl
spirits and content It Is said that the
reason prima -donnas and dramatic
tan carry their years lightly and ken
their good looks so long la because ot
the constant uccesloB of changes if
their llTes of climate, diet, ocuipan

Brain and body gratefully respond,
there la no chance for fag. . All tbe
world cannot have timely cbangea of
scene and air, and the question arises.
What ahaU we do about It? 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
wise woman will also change her fam
ily dietary as completely as possible
the seasons change.
Then there Is change of occupation,
which U nearly as restful as change
from doing. 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. Let the most famous
cook among housewives, when physi
cally depressed ,dlne or lunch with' i
friend, and she will be astonished at
the amount of appetite that comes to
her, even though the viands do not
meet her ideas of excellence.

full of pathos and of suggestion: A

being robbed of small sums of money.
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."

going to make yon my treasurer, if you
will do that for me. Here Is my purse.

The woman who is Inclined to be
stout can gain a pound quicker In a
day than a slender woman can in a
year. It Is said that when the beauti
ful Empress of Austria discovered that
her waist was growing larger and that
her beautifully-modelled chin was los
ing Ita curve, she, tbe finest horsewom
an In the world, gave up riding and
took long walka every day and In all
sorts of weather. 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.
Constant work will do more to reduce
