TAPPED THE PIPE.
An Oil Well Owner SurreptitiousIy In
crsases His Oil Supply.

BRADFORD, Pa, June Nv. n.
George, of Duke Center, near here, a
prominent organizer of the Knights of
Labor and conspicuous in his attitude
against monopolies, was arrested and
held to bail, yesterday, on the charge
of Systematically robbing the Nation
al Transit Pipe Line Company for a.
period OF three years, of many thou
sand barrels of oil. George has four
wells, the contents of which discharge
into one tank. Near this tank runs
one of the Transit Company's
three-inch pipe lines buried in
the ground. This line was
tapped it is alleged, a half-inch pipe in
serted and led away to Georges tank.
George sold his oil to rival company,
the Underwater, and, though it was
matter of wonder that the production
of his wells was so much larger than
those Of his neighbours, no one could
tell where the extra oil came from un-
til few days ago, when the owner of
the land on which the wells are situat-
ed made the discovery that led to
Georges arrest. 1t is charged that
about twelve barrels each day have
been thus stolen for three years, max.
ing a total of over g, 900. The prison
er bears a high reputation in this Sec
ton, especially among the laboring
classes, and his arrest caused q SEN

going up stairs and Mrs. Folsom settling
herself back into O. chair and devotino heT

moment later they strolled down to-
ward the East Room: and then strolled arm
in arm into the conservatory. This was
dimly lighted and the air was full of roses.
They walked up and down it's aisles between
the banks OF flowers for perhaps q full
half hour, talking earnestly, and their
voices were as tender as the forget-me-nots
they passed, and their conversation. de.
cidedly personal to themselves, was under
the rose in more senses than one. They
came from the conservatory with a happy
blushing deeply, and the President held in
his hand q red rose from her bouquet du
corsage. The engagement had been made
in the conservatory. It was not announc-
ed to Mrs. Folsom until day or two later,
and to Miss Cleveland even later still.
Shortly after this Miss Folsom wrote to
her grandfather telling him of her proposed
marriage, and Grandfather Folsom, who
was withal a sensible fellow, proposed at
once that Miss Folsom be taken to Europe,
and spend some time in travel to st her
self for the position she was to assume as
the first lady OF the land. He offered to
furnish the money, and as he liked the
President he was enthusiastic on the sub.
iect OF the marriage. The European trip
was afterward talked over with the Presi-
dent. 1t was finally greed upon, and the
grandfather agreed tofurnish enough money
for a magnificent wardrobe for the bride.
The whole affair was to be kept strict
secret, and the marriage was to take place
Immediately upon the return of Miss Fol-
som from Europe.

BRADsTREET's estimate of the aggre-

ness; losses in deferred or Cancelled
contracts are put down for Sd, 900,
600, and the balance is made up by
loss of $50, 400, 900 through the can.
collation. or postponement of building
contracts in the ten principal cities oil
the country. AS to all these items
save the wageitem there may be room
for argument. The actual loss by
postponement of building contracts,
for instance, is not easy to determine
It may easily be less than the figures
given. 1t may be great deal more
But as to the wage item, unhappiiy
there can be no question. The figures
are readily ascertainable, and the loss
is absolute. The work which might
have been done by 255, 900 strikers in
their three weeks idleness can never
be done now, if they live to the age o.
Methuselah. They have lost the sum
as efectually as if, having earned and
received it, they had thrown it into
the sea.

TIE New York Medical Record

THE New York Medical Record says
that "One-half of the adult men in
America living in our cities are bald
headed" 1t would seem, unless there
is change, that the small boys who
stand on street corners and shout,
"Go up, thou bald-head" will only
be dealing in facts. But science and
good sense should unite and save the
nation from bald-headism. Avoid
ance of the unventilated, close-ftting
hat and soapy shampoo, with better
attention to the scalp, may yet avert
the disaster. Men do not lose their
beard; it receives the air and sunlight.
Women seldom lose their hair and be.
come bald. Such facts very plainly
point to the cause of the trouble. 1t
is too late to save the old fellows, but
the boys and young men should heed
the lesson.

SENATOR HAwLEY SAYS tn

SENATOR HAwLEY says that the
wageworkers of Connecticut have 500,
100000, or $500 each. in savings
banks. Senator Hoar says that in
Massachusetts, they have $27O,00O,-
600 on deposit, or $3.50 each. So it
seems that in those two states labor
has accumulated 1862, 100000 of
surplus earnings or capital. Now, if
that capital were aggregated it could

tive ENTERPRISES.

THE shortest road to prosperity is
through intelligent industry. For the
laboring man to strike, to dispute, to
march about the streets with drum
and fife, never leads to lasting success.
We have noticed that most OF the
leaders of labor associations are dema-
gogues who dislike work themselves,
and are not above having collections
taken up for their support.
