FINED ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS boy
cotters and their sympathizers, in an mug
nant and anxious frame of mind, cro"ueu
Esses Market Court, New York, one ai1ei'
MON this week. They were interested III
the case of Adam Schmitt, John Moilenhsu,
uona HoldorEr and Hermann Wendler,
rnembers of the Central Labor Union Com
mittee. charged with conspiracy IN connec-
nection with the recent boycott OF Thesis
Concert Hall. Mr.. George Thesis and Con
dnctor Eschert were present, ready ano
willing to tell how they were injured, and
LAWYER August p. Wagner conducted the
defence. Mr.. Thesis, indignant and Volu
bile. explained that the men came to him on
March 6 with demands for the dismissal ol
Eschert and his twelve musicians and that
he should engage only members OF the Car
Sahm Club in their stead. The only rea
sons they alleged were that Eschert ana ms
men did not belong to their organlzation
and did not receive union wages. he trie'i
to satisfy them by explaining that he pa!'
Eschert $50 weekly and that he belonged lt
the Musical Protective Association, as dir
all his musicians, but they persisted in theIi
demands. They told him that it be did moi
weld they would ruin him and use the boy
colt to "bust up'' his business. He had I
give in after the boycott had been in: torct
three weeks, and paid the union Si,OOo ioi
expenses. The defendants were all balltt
for future appearance to answer the charge
of conspiracy.

Diplomacy, intrigue and influence in Per-
STA are dependent in large measure on the
force of character displayed by the women.
If man wishes to influence another in an
affair of importance, he manages it by con-
iding the matter to Que or al of his wives,
who in turn visit the wives of the man to be
influenced, or the wives of one who has in
luence over him, and by urging and pres
ents seek to attain the object. Most of the
important transactions OF Persia arc con-
Quoted in this manner.

to sell. Foreign Spectators sold everything
this morning, but principally Reading and
Erie. which were the features throughout tie
uay. The extraordinary large fore gn selling
was met by a somew hat larger domestic buy
ing. BuyingIn Reading was largely for ac-
count of The syndicate, and In Erie for the
new pool in that stock. A great deal is made
of benefits which the company expects to
reap from the coal traffic after the reorgani-
cation of Reading. Other coal stocks were

jefferson Davis, while President of the
Confederate States, was the owner OF a
pet black and tan terrier dog. Before the
nasty exit from his capital, in the spring
OF 1865, Mr.. Davis gave the dog to MIR. ii.
