Moltke's Daily Lie.

A fine portrait of Count Won Moltke is
the frontispiece of the March Century, and
Miss Helen Zmmero gives an entertaining
account of Won Moltke's life. His daily
routine is described as follows: "Winter
and Summer, Moltke epters his study at the
stroke of 7 q. IN. Here he drinks his morn
ing coffee, smokes cigar, and writes until
the stroke of nine, when his business letters
are brought to him, which he reads and dis
patches. He then exchanges his dressing
gown for his uniform, and is ready at elev-
en- TO receive his adjntants, to hear their re-
ports, and issue his orders. While at work
he partskes of simple lunch, ami when his
adjutants are gone resumes his writing an-
til the stroke Of two, when the work is
pushed aside. He then receives the higher
officers of the slaff and listens to their re-
ports. This ended, which may be longer or
shorter according to- circumstances, Moltke
goes for a walk. 1t is no infrequent thing
to encounter nim in the busy streets Of Bsr-
lin, peeping into the shop windows, which
appear to have an attraction for him. as
four he takes frugal dinner in company
with his family, aud the hour of dinner is
for them the hapciest of the day. Then The
tsciturn man becomes loquacous, aud de
lights his bearer with his charming, cheer
fnl talk. From five 10 seven he again de-
votes himself TO writing; from seven to eight
the newspapers are perused. At eight be
once more rej0ins his family ut the tea-ta
bic, after which follows game Of whist. i
which the great strateeist is naturally a-Pfo-
ticient. The game over, the evening is gem
orally ended with music, to which Mo'tke
is devoted. AT eleven he retires TO rest"

STRIKING LASTERS.
Condition of Affairs i'm Lewiston and Au-
burn.

LEWISTON, March 5.-To-day lasters were
10 Lewiston until almost the entire force left
the shop. At noon Mr.. Packard, one of the
firm, stated that it looked as though they were
in for strike. Thirty-five lasters, exclusive
of those at work on slippers, are at work In the
shop. All but a few POSSIBLY, 1t is thought,
four or fve) are members of the Lasters' Pro-
tsctve Union, and all o: them leave work.
The situation, as il stands, Is much the same
as that at Ara Cushman s. Co.'s shoe factory
in Auburn
A reduction of prices paid for lasting the soft
box went into effect at Gay, Woodman & Co.'s
on Monday. The extent and nature of the re-
duction is the same as that in the factory men
toned. It consists of cut down OF II cents
per case for lasting the soft box. The former
price was 25 cents. The price proposed was 13
cent?. Both Mr.. Woodman and Mr.. Gay of
the firm are out of the city. Mr.. Packard
stated In relation to the reduction of wages
that it was in accordance with an agreement
made Jan. 14th between Mr.. Gay, senior mem
ber Of the firm and committee of the Lasters'
Protective Union, which specified the reduc-
tion and that it should GO into effect on March
1st. Since that time, a change has been made
in lasters' work. The work of mailing the
toes, for which extra price was paid was
taken off the lasters' regular work. This. it Is
claimed oy the lasters, broke the agreement
Is their negoti ations of this week the lasters
give the above as the reason for their consider
iLg the agreement broken.
Messrs. Ara Cushman s. Co. have now ifty-
two lasters at work, most of whom are ex-
perienced hands and good workmen Work
in the other departments will be resumed
Thursday. and will go along as usual.

and down Vessy street, the bnnco man contin-
uing the conversation, fually saving. "By the
way there is a money consideration that &C

time they had reached the lover part Of
Vesey street. Mr.. Nickerson, In the mean
time looking for police officer, qlisted any
suspicious tba. might arise in the mind of the
ounco "stserer" by sayiog that he must look up

his boots that morning, at the same time cali
ing his attention to the fact. Near Greenwich
street Mr.. Nickerson saw Officer IIoonan OF
the Twenty-seventh precinct, to whom he sig
salled after passing him aud unseen By Mr..
Young. The officer quickly comprehended
the situation and promptly arrested Mr.. Frank
Young. He was taken to the Tombs police
court where he was recognized as q profess
sional. Judge Duffey said he was determ-
med to break up this bunco business, adding
sit is reported that all the police and all the
judges too are leagued with the bunco men

share of such customers whensvsr I come to

Special Correspondence of the Press.)
New YORK, March /.
Joshua G. Nickerson, an old oil merchant o:
Boston, well-known to dealers and manufac-
tursrs Of oil along our entire coast, and con-
Rected with the ThaSer & Judd Paraffiue Co.,
New Bedford, Mass, arrived in New York on
Friday morning, the 22d of February. On his
way from the Stonington steamer to the Astor
House he was accosted on Chambers street
By q stranger who addressed him as Mr..
Scott, and shook him heartily by the hand.
As Mr.. Nickersou did not respond very
promptly to the strangers warm greeting,
he excused himself for the mistake he pro-
fessed to have made, with profuse apologies,
following Mr.. Nickerson up the street, re-
ceiving bat little attention and falling to en-
gage him in any conversation. A few min
u,es previous to this occurrence he had
read In the New York Herald Mr.. James j.
Reynolds experience with this class OF sharp
ers and very naturally began to think they
we're playing the same game on him and con-
cluded to take hand. After checking his
hand satchel at the Astor House, he walked
down the north side of Folton street a few
rods when he was accosted by another bunco
man who was $50 rejoiced to see an old
trieudl Had his name at his tongues end,
but could not speak it,"
Mr. Nickerson very kindly assisted lis
trescherous memory.
"Oh, yes! of course. How stupid to be so
forgetfull Hope have not outgrown your
remembrance? Am with 81. Il. Clsfiin 8 Co.
In your old business, suppose?"
"Yes," said the oil merchant. "oil, of course.
know no other"
"5ame placer" said the stranger
"No," said Mr.. Nckerson. ''I have moved"
giving his address in Boston.
The stranger regretted his engagements
were so pressing that he conld not show Mr..
Niokersoa more attention and he bade him
good morning.
Mr.. Nickerson crossed to the south side OF
Fulton street, and when near the lower end
was accos;ed by the third man. By this time
he was quite angry and secretly resolved to
capture the fellow. This stranger slapped
him smartly on the shoulder, greeting him
with
"How do you do, Mr.. Nickerson am so
delighted to meet you'll Have Just returned
from Florida with my sister, where we have
had most delightful time, sailing up and
down the st. Johns river. You remember
me, your old friend, Frank Young?"
"Oh, yesl" said the merchant. "I remember
you. How long since you left Florida?''
"Ten days." said Mr.. Young.
"Did you visit AltamOnt2"
Yesl The weather was splendid there. How

Jack the Preacher.


Some years ago there lived at Hannibal.
Mo-, an old lame darkey named Jack, who
made frequent excursions to the surround
ing country to preach the gospel to the col
ored population.
One Sunday, after having preached an ell
Oquent discourse, he raised one of his bIO.
scsly, splay Ieet and rested IL upon the
bench in front of him aud said: "Ds ola
man hsb walked fifteen miles ober stones
and grabbed jes' fo' de good OBJ yo' souls
an he dussen't spec muffin fur It In dis
town, but If you would js' lone him pa,r
OBJ old shoes de Lod would bress am pros-
pah you"
The brethren not having brought anv
shoes to church took up a collection and
handed him the proceeds. After pronounc-
ing the benedction he placed his old ''yal-
lei" saddle bags across his arm and hobbled
off toward Hannibal.
Having traversed mile or two of the dis
tdnce he diverged from the road among the
timber. One of the brethren a short dis
lance in the rear, noticing the vancouver,
followed and found Jack standing beside a
hollow stump, with his hands resting upon
his hips aud his mouth stretched from ear
to ear with laughter, looking at his feet.
"Well, ddps iis a le de curristist ting I
