ANOTHER QUAY DEAL A FAILURE He Goos to Philadelphia in Hopes of Getting Martin’s Help, But He Re- turns Empty Ianded—A Conference With ¥is Slated Candldate Stone. The Wanamakor Boom Is Stefaidlly Growing All Over the State. {From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrisburg, Fab. 22.—Senator Quay hurried 1 up from Wishington to Phila- delphia on Saturday last. He remained in the latter city only two hours and then left as mysteriously as he had come. He saw during his visit nobody but Hon. Asparagus Andrews, the man- ager of William A. Stone’s boom, Gen- eral Frank Reeder, until recently sec- retary of commonwealth, and the Quay slated candidate for governor, W. A. Stone. Senator Quay went away a dis- | appeinted man. He went to Philadel- phia for the purpose of attempting to make another deal. But he failed. Sec- retary of the Commonwealth David declined to become a willing vietim to any such arrange- ment. Thereéinon Senator Quay left for Washington again. The growth of the Wanawaker boom |! is worrying Senator Quay mightily. The tremendous growth of public sentiment | of the ex-postmaster general Quay has to worry him. Some of his | political chickens are coming home to roost in a very unpleasant manner. If tention when he came to Philadelphia | shaice him by the hand. And yet, Sen- | ator Quay is a leader of a faction, but | | so strained is that deadership that it is! | in a danggrous-position. | QUAY DESE RTED BY HIS FRIENDS | It is now a notorious fact that Quay | i deserted what is known as the ‘“Anti- | Combine” in the late Philadelphia ! This is thé faction controlled by | Durham, which put in! nomination, or tried to put in nomina- | a Newitt. Quay tried to make a deal with | Secretary Martin while the fight was on, and when the ‘“Anti-Combine’ heard of it they flew up in arms and swore that they would get even with Quay for attempting to desert them in their hour of distress. Senators Durham and Penrose have been bitter against Quay ever since for his attempt to scll them out while they were making a fight for him against Martin. As a result of this feeling, Quay knows that unless he can make a deal with Martin and Magee and the: independent leaders of Pennsylvania he will be compelled to make ~a hard and fast bargain with Andrews, Pen- rose and Durham. On Saturday last he | made his latest attempt to patch up a | truce with Martin, and failed. As he stands today Quay, has Durham and the old ‘““Anti-Combine’” bothering him on one side, Secretary Martin and his following on another, while moving down upon him in solid array is the Business Men’s League, with ex-Post- master General Wanamaker in the van. HE IS RATTLED. No wonder that Quay is flustered. He has dropped, all idea of making a cru- to see Stone elected, but at present he is leaving everything in connection with the gubernatorial contest to the cele- brated senator, ex-chairman of the Lexow committee, Hon. Asparagus An- drews. This makes William A. Stone, of Allegheny, all the more conspicuous as the candidate of Andrews and the representative of every ugly interest in the Republican party. Quay wants to be senator. subordinating everything to his He is am- States senate. If it comes to a pinch he is willing to sacrifice Stone, Andrews and Reeder and everybody else if he can but secure' his return” to the United States senate. Iis chief concern is the control of the members of the next leg- islature, who elect his successor, ani in the meantime everything is in a muddle to him, and the end is not in view, nor will it be for some time to come. Quay has had the fight of his life on hand several times, but all other fights pale into insignificance when comparcd with this one. And Mr. Quay shows it. He does not look well. He has an ‘anxious, strained appearance. There is no exaggeration about the enmity of the men that Quay used to call his friends. There is not one fac- tion today that Quay can call his own. Penrose, Durham and the rest are gus- picious of him; Martin refuses to make deals, while the ‘Wanamaker men— everybody knows what their opinion of Senator Quay is. "WANAMAKER’'S GROWING' BOOM. In the meantime ex-Postmaster Gen- eral Wanamaker is being flooded with letters offering him support. Not a day passes that delegations do not call upon him to tender their assistance and pledge the solid support of whole counties. The mention of Mr. Wana- maker's name has fired the whole state, and all the best elements of the Repub- lican party are hastening to his stand- ard. It is now a recognized fact that no man in the state possesses the power to draw. men toward him, and the confidence of the people, as does John Wanamaker. Immediately after the Bourse meet- ing, at which Mr. Wanamaker was :n- vited to become a candidate for gov- ernor, Manezer Andrews, who is run- ning the Stone bopm from his palatial offices in Pittsburg, sent out letters over the state to every Quay r ws- paper “announcing that the Bourse meeting was composed of millionaires, importers and disgruntled ex-office- holders. This charge was ably ‘dis- proved by giving to the world the nemes of tha men, or the principal ones, who composed that memorable conference. There - was not a million- r alre in all the 400. But the inevitable result of this sort of a campaign has | “Politic 8, politics, politics!” that’s what, fy Saturday he succeeded admirably, | - | for there was not a soul to meet him or | Salisbury, Pa. | years of age there are ‘ouly 22 - reacted upon Senator Quay. The ques- tion is now being asked all over the state, "Where did Quay get his mil- lions?" WHERE DID HE GET IT? Wher did Quay get his millions? Where did he obtain the vast, sums with which to purchase a residence in Beaver, a $75,000 mansion in Allegheny county, a mansion in Washington, a farm in Lancaster county, another 300 acre farm in Chester county and a plantation in Florida. And it must be remembered that Senator Quay’s sal- ary as United States senator is but $5,000 a“year, and that a few ycars ago Senator Quay was a poor man. Where did Senator William H. An- drews acquire his wealth? Andrews, of Crawford county, who has acquired the soubriquet of ‘‘Asparagus,” is a professional politician, purely and sim- ply. Where did he get the wealth with which he is endowed today? These are questions which the people of the state are asking. No ordinary explanation will satisfy them. It would require the most extraordinary luck in speculation In stocks or bonds to pile up the wealth of Quay or Andrews, and so out of it all there comes the query for which the plain people expect an answer— where did they get it? Before my next{ Jeter is read the gu- { bernatorial boom. will have been start- ed with a rush. This year will wit- ness no ordinary campaign. It will be a fight to a finish, with Quay and his minor bosses on one hand and the peo- ple on the other. "The people are ready and waiting!

Some curious figures have lately been made public by a celebrated Berlin physician which seem to point to the fact that if a man wants to live long and preserve his health and strength he ought to marry. Among unmarried men between the ages of 80 and 45 the death rate is 27 per cent. Among mar- ried men between the same ages it is only 18 per cent.

Tit-Bits. ; “Is there a man in all the audience,” demanded the female speaker on wom- an’s rights firecely, “that has ever done anything to lighten the burden resting on his wife’s shoulders?. What do you know of woman’s work? Is there a man here,” she continued, folding her arms and looking over her audience with superb scorn, “that has ever got up in the morning, leaving his tired, wornout wife to enjoy her slumbers, gone quietly down stairs, made the fire. coooked his own breakfast, sewed the missing buttons on the children’s clothes, darned the family stockings, scoured the pots and kettles, cleared and filled the lamps, swept the kitchen and done all this, if necessary, day af- ter day uncomplainingly? If there is such a man in this audience let him stand up. I should like to see him.” And far back in the hall a mild look- ing man in spectacles, in obedience to the summons, timidly arose.

He said he could tell us all about our ancestry and would do so for an extra quarter, but we refused, as the least said about our ancestry the better for all con- cerned. True, some of our ancestry had a family tree, but it was not the kind of a tree that a man would be proud of or, with tears, ask the woodman to spare. We know a good many people whose an- cestors had that kind of a tree, and if they had their deserts they would be up the same tree. There is not the least doubt in our mind that the phrenologist is a benefactor to his race and fills a niche in life as well as the bearded woman, the living skeleton, the fat man or the fatiooed man. / The New Warships.
