A houseâ€"toâ€"house canvass of every one of the 1,101 .election. districts in the city was made. by the dnlilted officeâ€"holdâ€" ers, and every fraudulent vote was locatâ€" ed and noted. No effort was made to preach reform to the pecple with whom Then they were asked to stand ug and take their oaths that they would do all that lay within their power to insure an honest election. Each man was to be held personally responsible for those fraudulent votes of which he was aware â€"and it may be stated truthfully that within the knowledge of these 10,000 placemen was included every fradulent vote in the city. That was part and parcel of their qualification for office under gang rule. They stood and swore. How well these oaths were respected is evidenced by the fact that not a single charge of fraudulent voting has been made against the reform elements since the election. . Those who remained were first told that their positions were absolutely seâ€" cure for the remaining eighteen months of the present city administrationâ€"the administration of John Weaver, They were told that the mayor had given his promise that, no matter how the elecâ€" tion resulted, no wardâ€"heeler would have the power to remove them for any cause short of that constituting inefficiencyâ€" and that was never a "cause" with any ward leader of the ganag! The following Monday each one of the 10,000 officeâ€"holders in Philadelphia were summoned to a meeting in his ward by the man who represented that ward at the secret meeting in the lawyer‘s office. ‘The purpose of each meeting was briefâ€" ly outlined as an effort to have an honâ€" est ballot at the coming election. Beâ€" fore going into particulars as to the means to be pursued to this end, it was announced that every placement who did not feel ready and. willing to do his part might retire. Taken all in all, probably twentyâ€"five per cent, of those present retired, although the records show that between ten and fifteen per cent. of these came back at subsequent meetings and joined forces with the majority. Then each one of them, on his sacâ€" red honor, and on his oath to each of the others as fellowâ€"men, and to the whole gathering as a company, swore to take charge of the campaign in his ward and do his part of the work to the best of his ability, and keep mum to the big outside world. No chairman was elected, however. no committees were appointed. Instead of the ordinary method of procedure folâ€" lowed in such cases, these men listened to the reading of the "platform" and had outlined to them, by the master mind, the contemplated course of action. The purpose of the meeting was to form an organizationâ€"an roganization to meet the gang on its own ground and pit against it some of its own methods â€"only to pit them for good government and an bonest ballot, instead of grait. One night, just six weeks before the election, fortyâ€"two men met secretly in the office of a wellâ€"known Philadelphia lawyer. There was one man for each ward in the cityâ€"one who had ability or influence or power, and who could be trusted to work for right and keep the pact. Included among them were some wealthy merchants, some promiâ€" nent doctors, and lawyers, and publicists â€"every one more or less acquainted with practical politics, and all stanch Reâ€" publicans.

An‘immense red satin bow, just the berry color, sets off the stems as nothing else will do.

The, oldâ€"feshioned way of twining with curtain: Styles in trimming vary in holly as in other things. One year it is the thing to bunch all the holly into great vases and stand them where they can be seen from the open door. Another season the picture frames must have hbolly stuffed back of them, until they fairly bulge out from the wall, swinging with their heavy load of green upon the back. This year the portiere gets its share of the Christmas holly. Festoons of it are strung across the front of the curtains and draped back or looped as artistic fancy may suggest. _A long holly chain can be caught from the two upper corâ€" ners of a portiere and looped again in the centre high enough to make a clasâ€" sic curve. Or one long chain of it ean be allowed to swing from the upper corâ€" Holly is the one thing that must sureâ€" ly be used at Christmas time. Mistleâ€" toe is very well in its place, under the chandelier, and, as a kissing berry, it should find its way into every civilized home, but holly is prettiee and much more uheful for a decoration. _ it is cheaper and more plentiful. A The color of the leaf is another thing in its artistic favor. _ It is a brilliant green, not faded, nor dark, but a bright, beautiful tone that goes well with every drapery. lts gaudy little berry makes a bright spot, wherever placed, that catches the eye and holds it. Another point in favor of holly as a Christmas favorite is its durability. It does not fade, nor wilt, nor do its berâ€" ries or leaves soon drop off. In a medâ€" ium température, not too hot nor too dry, say in the atmosphere that preâ€" vails in the family livingâ€"room or in the drawingâ€"room, it will keep bright and pretty for two months, and need only to be removed when Easter favorites drive it from its point of vantage. Another point in favor Christmas favorite is its does not fade, nor wilt, 1 ries or leaves soon drop ¢ Holly is a queer stuff. Whie prickly it looks very docile, and, though stiff and hard to handle, it takes shape niceâ€" ly when trained by slender fingers arâ€" ound picture frames and doorways. Its very prickles assist it In the using for they twine and intertwine, loop and interloop, lace and interlace, until they festoon naturally and hang gracefully where directed. a great part of Christmas would disapâ€" pear. There may be some from whom Christmas would go out entirely ; for there are those whose only Christmas treat lies in the sight of the carts and baskets of prickly holly that line the roadways in December. _ Onee packed and delivered to the holly man, who, as a rule, visits the holly woods and makes his purchases on the ground, there comes the city wholesaler who makes a good profit out of it by selling it to the retailer, who, in town. sells it to the street men. Finally it appears upon stands and on street corâ€" ners, waiting to be bought. The woman who buys a sprig of holly for ten cents and goes home and places it behind a picture frame feels that she has made a beginning toward the obâ€" servance of the holiday season. She who buys a wreath and hangs it in the front window does more, for she not only anâ€" nounces Christmas to her family, but to the passersâ€"by. If one were asked to name the most important adjunct to Christmas joy one would probably say the Christmas tree. But, on further thought, it is not the holly ? Few families indulge in a tree annually, but a great many treat themâ€" selves to a sprig of holly. °If holly were to be banished off the face of the earth. & THE USE OF HOLLY FOR 4 _ ‘CHRISTMAS SEASON. Those who work hardest at the holly are those who gather it from the woods where it grows wild. _ While it costs nothinaz for the holly itself, it costs a great deal in time and labor. ‘Then, too, the holly is difficult to handle, and it breaks and loses its leaves and becomes unfit for the market. There is the wholesale holly man, who imports it into the cities. He works only two months in the year, and by the time Christmas has dawned, he has begun his vacation to last until another year comes around.n The wholesale holly man works during September and October and perâ€" haps for a few days in November. But as soon as he has brought his holly to town and sold it to the wholesaler his work is done. It is the shortest business season on record. It is a wonderful thing to relate, but holly is a whole Santa Claus to certain people. These are the ones who handle it for a living and who depend upon it for all the good things of life. 47€ nNandnng «of it is prosaic enough. for there are barrels and goxes to be conâ€" sidered and such details as freighting, ungacking, selling again, and finally disâ€" tributing to the streetâ€"hawkers. But the one who does not connect holly with the commonplace early surroundings is the person who will enjoy the berry most. for there is in it that which savors of mystery and of Christmas. With a sprig of holly one can have Christmas, but without holly the merriest Christmas lacks something. ‘The two go together, Christmas and the Christmas berry, and you know that one is coming when you see the other. h Really, it grows in the southern woods and is picked and brought in wagonloads to the villages, there to be bought by the buyers and shipped to the big cities. £ Th‘e handlipg of it is prosaic enough. It is the holy season. To many perâ€" sons, the approach of Christmas is anâ€" nounced chiefly by the appearance of tie red berry and iss prickly green leaf. Children are told all sorts of things about the holly; that it is a fairy berry from Santa Clausland brought hither by the reindeers on an early journey. _ THE PLANT THATâ€"HELP3 TO BRIGHTEN UP i THE HOLIDAYS. Possibly no possession has changed nationality so frequently as the island of Santa Cruz, in the Danish West Inâ€" dies. Originaliy the land belonged to Spain, and it was taken from Srain to be under the joint rule of England and Holland. After a while the flag of Holland was taken down and the kngâ€" lish flag alone floated, only to give way to Spain again, The Knights of Maita were the next possessors, and from them it passed to a company of adventurers, who lost it to France, which sold to a Danish company, the land finally comâ€" ing into the fionesnion of the Spanish government. England again took possesâ€" sion in 1801, and eight years later it Etued to the Danish government again. ventually it will probably become a part of the United States, two bargaine having been arranged, but never comâ€" pleted. . After all the great thing is to be dreasâ€" ed comfortably, and very many women seem to have accomplished this. It must be admitted, though, that too few reâ€" move the coat when making a prolonged stay in a store. Many women who wear fur coats cling to the shirtâ€"waist suit of cloth, Louisine, taffeta or other material. ‘These improvâ€" ed shirtâ€"waist suits are very becoming, to many who do not look well in waists and skirts of a different color. As for nhop;;ing bags, not all of them are "latest hints from Paris." The latest bit of chic in leather is held side by side with a roomy cord bag, which buiges like the pack of Santa. In the shops open coats show waists ranging from heavy broadcloth and velâ€" veteen to filmy affaire of the lingerie varietv. Gloves, when fashiouable, are of the heavy pique sewn, mannish variety. Knitâ€" ted ones are en evidence. Also seen, alas! are the soiled white gloves that have done duty for dress wear. _Footwear fashions of a snowy day range from low shoes (they have been seen) to rubber boots. Some from nurâ€"l:{ rural districts deâ€" seend upon the shopping centres in enough wrappings and furs to suggest a cross between Kriss Kringle and an Esâ€" quimaux. l s Soâ€"called Englishy coat suitsâ€"the sort the sporty country contingent wears over in the land of fogsâ€"are seen. As a rule these coats are more than loose. Corduroy suits are smart and endlessly serviceable. Velveteen boasts almost the same qualities, though most persons misâ€" take it for velvet and therefore consider it too dressy. A modish storm coat crops up as the important bit of wear. Beneath it the details of many a costume are lost. Rubâ€" ber backed silk eerves for fine storm coats, with cravenetted wool goods as second choice. Frock coat suits are undoubtedly the most general choice. These are made of the various cloths, the coat being long and the skirt short. CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS. What They Wear When They Go Into Battle.

To stand under it means a Christmas penalty for the girl who dares. The miking of a crown of h'c;lly was one of the social duties of the girl of 50 years ago. _ At the Christmas banâ€" quet she was to wear the holly wreath which was supposed to be imbued with charms potent to drive sorrows away. To this day the wearing of the holly wreath is a thing to be noticed at dinâ€" ners. Gray-luirg and well bearded men can be seen seated at table with the holly resting upon their shining brow‘s. The maiden in holly dressed is a pretty sight, and she who will take the trouble to make herself a prickly crown will be rewarded by the consciousness that she is pretty to look upon. Making a wreath is something that falls to the lot of every hollyâ€"trimmer, for the wreath is part of every decoraâ€" tive scheme. One in each window is the rule, and one in every doorway, if you can get enough wreaths. In these days of pretty things all ready to use, it is not everyone who will go to the trouble of making a wreath, but if holly has been bought by the wholesale, and there is plenty of it to spare, then let simple wreaths be put together and hung hbere and there wherever they look pretty. holly can have a chain of it running from picture to picture and out to the chandelier if one would be ornate.
