WHERE DID IR GET IT?
The Plain People Want to Know
Where Mr, Quay Got His
Millions of Money.
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

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?

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

Bad Facts for Bachelors.
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. Tor 41 bachelors who
live to be 40 years of age, 78 married
i men triumphantly arrive at the same
period.

His First Chance.
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

wornout wife to enjoy her slumbers,

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. Iie was

It was the first chance he had to assert

We went to a phrenologist once. Tt
was when we were young and innocent,
before our heart had been hardened by
coming in contact with newspaper men
and learning to lie and dodge our cred-
itors. Well, he ran his fingers (which
were none of the cleanes:( through our

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. /
