Why Because, as soon as a cutter becomes famous for designing ability, he can straightway earn three times as much working for a great house as for any custom tailor, whose total output must be small at best. Thus only mediocre designers remain in the custom trade; the real artists are constantly drawn into the service of such firms as the manufacturers of these beautiful suits. And they are better tailored. And they cost one-third less. Doesn't this sound reasonable It's true as you can prove by coming to see the suits.

At this point the most conspicuous feature of the fire occurred and Policeman Murphy became hero. William Marlln, swing his father reach the pavement in safety, attempted to perform the same feat. Slowly and cautiously he lowered himself from the sill of the third story window, until his feet dangled close to the ladder. Suddenly Ills hands slipped and with a cry he fell, missing the outstretched arms of a waiting fireman. Murphy was standing near.

Quick as a flash, regardless of his own safety, he stepped forward to catch the falling boy. Before be had time to brace himself the crash came. Mar-liu and the policeman went down iu a heap. The boy was badly hurt, but his life was saved. The crowd cheered the policeman, who picked himself up, dusted off his hat and smiled calmly, although bis shoulder was braised and crushed.

She met her death by suffcation, but her body was also horribly burned and bruised. It was removed to the Morgue. ATCO GLASS WORKS BURNED The New Jersey Hamlet Visited by a Fierce Conflagration.

The Atco Glass Factory, of Afco, N. wus partially destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. The flames were discovered In the engine room and an alarm brought the glass blowers, who were standing about waiting for the whistle to blow, to the spot. A desperate fight was made to stamp out the tire, but It steadily gained ground until the entire factory was threatened. The flattening house, warehouse and cutting room were destroyed and 10,000 boxes of window glass, valued at Jlio.ooo, were completely mined.

It is not believed that the total loss will exceed $10,000. Part of it lscovered by insurance. CREDITORS WANT MORE MONEY Supreme Court Decides That Washington Hotel AfTiIrs Must be Settled Differently. In the ease of Pnvid II.

BABY SAVED TWELVE LIVES Mayor levy's Screams Woke His Mother, Who Discovered the Tenement Ablaze and Warned the Occupants One Woman Was Suffocated and Six Persons Injured The Atco, X. Glass Factory Also Destroyed. The car spring works of the Churles Scott Spring Company, at Geriuautown avenue and Newmarket street, were gutted by fire yesterday afternoon, The loss, Including buildings and machinery, Is estimated at $150,000 and Is covered by Insurance to the amount of $100,000.

Several buildings adjoining the Scott plant -were damaged by Are and water, but the losses on these are trifling. Although the fire was one of the fiercest within recent years In this city, It was, fortunately, unattended by any loss of life and every one of the 180 men employed In the works escaped from the burning building without Injury. The majority of them, however, had to nee In their overalls, leaving their street clothes and other belongings behind. On'y one fireman was Injured. Jesse Tlttermary, of engine company No.

He was taken to St.

Mary's Hospital and is in a serious condition. The lire, which started at 2.10 o'clock, was caused by the explosion of oil In one of the tanks used for the immersion of heated car springs undergoing the process of tempering. The blazing oil set fire to the building, and in a few minutes roaring flames shot up to the roof of the one-story structure. Terror-stricken mechanics rushed for their lives, escaping as best they could through doors and windows. Less than ten minutes after the fire started the roof had fallen in.

Adjacent Building Threatened. By this time the four-story building on the Newmarket street side was burning fiercely, and the firemen, seeing that it was past saving, directed their energies to preventing the spread of the flames to adjoining structures. In this they were successful. The two upper floors of the four-story bnllding were used for storing patterns and machinery. The lower floors were used as machine shops.

The building' at 1020 Newmarket street was occupied by B. H. Hill brass founders, and was slightly damaged, a was also Hnmmel's machine shops, adjoining. When the flames in the four-story Scott building were nt their fiercest they reached across Newmarket street uud set on fire the roof of a building on the southeast corner of Germantown avenue, which Is used as a Rtornge warehouse for machinery by the owner, Joseph Campbell, of Poplar and Laurel tttrcels. The damage to this building was estimated at $1,000 and the loss on contents nt $2,000.

The hub works of the Buckley Company were wlso damaged, mostly by water. Shortly after 4 o'clock, in rlsponso to an alarm turned In from Delaware nvenuo'nnd Poplar streets, several of the fire engines were withdrawn from the Scott works and sent to the laboratory of Smith, Kline, French which hud caught fire In the basement and first floor. The flumes were quickly subdued. The loss Is $3,000, In great part due to wuter. TWELVE LIVES SAVED BY A BABY'S SCREAMS One Woman Suffocated and Six persons Severely Injured.

Mayer Levy Is only 8 months old, yet he saved twelve lives early yesterday morning. Briefly, Mayer began crying lustily abo-ut 4 o'clock, thus awakening his mother, who discovered that the house was on Are and gave the alarm to the other occupants. But the Are whs not without lis horrors, for one woman was suffocated after she had ulinotit made her escape, and an old man, two young meu, a woman and two girls were more or lews severely Injured.

xoung Marlln, the most seriously Injured, who Jumped from a window, and Kannle Levy, were taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where they are now on the road to recovery. The other Injured prsons were taken to the house of Max Luton, at 215 Randolph street. The building where the Are occurred, r.2.1 Race street, is a rather dilapidated struc ture, and the damage, which Is fully covered by Insurance, will not exceed $1,000. The first floor front was used by Henry Levy as a grocery store, and In the rear of that was a dining room and a sleeping apartment, occupied by Mr. and Mrs.

Levy and their 8-months-old babe. The rear room of the second floor, was used as a sleeping apartment by Chansky Manuel, Mrs. Levy's father, and bl daughter's Ave older chil dren, Minnie, nged 2 years: Kanny, aged 4: May, aged Jennie, aged 10, and Abraham, aged 14 years. The third floor was occupied by Mr. and Mrs.

mm Marlln and their son iiml daughter, Alice and William, aged 30 aud 20 years respectively. Bnhy Gave the Alarm. It is supposed that the fire originated In the kitchen, although Mrs. Marlln, whoso duty It was to put out the Are In the range at night, on going to her room Sunday night at 10 o'clock announced that all was safq below. At any rate Mayer Levy, 8 mouths old, was the first occupant to detect the flames underneath, and by his continued and terrified screams awakeued his mother.

Mrs. Levy Immediately saw that the room was full of smoke, and! arousing her hiiHband, the two started to give the ahirm and rescue the rest of their family. Catching little Mary and Jennie In his arms, the father rushed down the rickety stairs, followed by the grandfather and Minnie. Mrs. Levy and the baby by this time were in the yard, but two of the children, and Abraham, were still In the burning rooms.

Kor-getful of his own safety, the father again sprang tip the steps, only to rind the second atory eserted. Vainly he called bin little ones' names and at length, burned aud bleeding, was forced to feck the street. In the meantime the two children, by the smoke, had made their way to the third floor. Here they found the MHrllns In state of piiulc. Helpless, they huddled In one corner of the room, awaiting what seemed certain death.

Mrs. Murlln alone attempted to descend the steps, and In the swirling smoke below she uiet her death. While these scones were being enacted within the housn Sergeant Barnard and I'o-llcenian Thomas J. Murphy, of the Fifth ml Race, streets police station, were attracted by the cries for help and turned In an alarm Immediately after starting to the work of rescue. Finding a ladder that reached to the second floor, they placed it against, tho NO APPOINTMENTS ANNOUNCED The "nme of the New Directors Not JLIkely to be Giyen Out for Some Time.

Politicians Slzincr Up the Situation Give Their Views as to Who Will Not be Named Waaner and Hicks, Declare They Are Not Candidates for Head of the Public AVorUs Department. Mayor-elect Ashbrldge conferred with the two principal leaders of the Republican party In this city yesterday. Senator Martin had an hour's Interview with the Incoming Chief Magistrate, and Insurance Commissioner was closeted with hiin for nearly three hours. Mr. Ashbrldge also talked with David.

Lane, Bunking Cotnmis-sloner Powers and other citizens who called upon him, and there Is little doubt that the general political situation In 1'bilndelphla and the State was discussed, with the matter of the appointments which will be made when the new Mayor assumes his duties on the nrst Monday of April. Neither Senator Martin nor Mr. Durham would talk about his conference with the Mayor-elect, but both appeared to be satisfied with the outlook for the coming city administration. Mr. Martin left the city for Harrlsburg on the 4.30 P.

M. train and -Mr. Durham departed for the same destination later In the evening. As Is well known, the faction of the Bepubllcnn party which Martin represents as leader-ln-chlef has candidates In the field for both Director of Public Safety and Director of Publlo Works, to say nothing of minor offices, while the element of which the Insurauee Commissioner Is the recognized head Is anxious to secure recognition iu the shape of one Directorship-Public Safety "preferred and a share of other appointments. Announcements Not Yet Hendy.

When the Mayor-elect was asked about his talk with the leaders he frankly acknowledged that he had met them, but stated that he had not made any promises in the way of patronage. "Every head. of a great organization," he said, "must have men with whom he confers, but that doi not mean that he will allow their advice to influence hlin against his better Judgment. I must eonsult many men, but shall hold myself absolutely aloof from any factional troubles. State affairs have no hearing upon the government of this city.

I owe nothing to' any faction, and shall not be governed by any man or set of men, but shall act as I deem best for the good of All citizens. As regards appointments, I will say that the political cud of my new office has not received final consideration. I do not say that there bus been no consideration of suitable people for subordinates, but I insist that nothing final has been done and that there will be no announcement of the appointment of Directors Of Public Safety and Public Works for a week, ten days or perhaiie two weeks. After that is done It will be time enough to talk of bureau chiefs and other appointments. I have now 400 letters upuu my desk, chiefly regarding appoint menu.

Many, arc from cranks. One letter urges me to be sure aud do away with tho chief of a certain bureau, and says that a petition Is being circulated against the man In question. This will be of no avail unless reasons are advanced of which I know nothing as yet, for the man attacked, enjoys my esteem and' confidence tt preeht'to an almost unlimited extent." The Situation Clearing; Up. A the disinclination of the coming Mayor to discuss the subject of his Cabinet foT publication, the developments of yesterday am said to have bad a clarifying effect on the situation and to have effectually disposed of the chances of some of the gentlemen who have bees suggested for the most Important places within Mr. Ash-brldge's gift.

If the general run of the politician have a correct understanding neither Kx-Sherlff Clement, President of Select Council Miles nor Select Councilman Henry Clay will be the appointee to the position of Director of Public Safety. All three of the gentlemen were brought out for the honor by the adherents of Senator Martin, who are also behind the candidacies of William C. Haddock, chief of the Bureau of Building Inspection, and V. 8. P.

Shields, the wel-kuwn builder of West Philadelphia, for Director of Public Works. Two qtber well-known citizens whose names had been mentioned' for the succession to Director Thompson came to the front yesterdny with Htatements that they were not candidates for the otticOi They are General Louis Wagner and Postmaster Thomas L. Ilicks. General Wagner was Director of Public Works during the first Bullitt charter administration that of Mayor FJt-ler. He called on the Mayor-elect yesterday aud afterwards gave public assurance of the fact that ho win not nu aspirant for any oltlce and that his visit had no political significance.

Mr. Hicks will gladly place at the disposal of the new administration the information and figures be has collected and collated relating to the water supply and other municipal ueeds, but he has never been a candidate for Director and prefers the Federal office he holds at pteseut. Died From Acute Mania. A verdict of death from acute mania was given by the Corouer's Jury yesterday In the case of Mrs. Klizabeth Veil Nuerers, WM North Tenth street, who died at St.

Joseph's Hospital Sunday. Several witnesses testified that Mrs. Von Nuerers' husband had been out of employment for some time. The little stock of money which he bad saved was soon exhausted In providing for his wife and their three children. Mrs.
