a BUSINESS MANS VIEWS.
The JOurnersneny Plumbers'3 Strike
Commented Upon.

SOEh u pom
To the Editor of the Globe:
In reference to the present strike existing
between the Journeymen plumbers, gas fit
tiers and master plumbers of this city and St.
Paul, in fairness to each, I would like to
make 4 few comments, having heard both
sides of the question. In the first place, the
plumbers, or great many of them, could get
and were offered 81 per day, ten hours work,
but, in justice to themselves and to the labor
ing voice of the country, they agreed to re-
duce the number OF working hours, thereby
securing more rest to themselves and. if DOS
Sible, employment to their fellow craftsmen
equaizing their labor and securing employ
ment to those who might need it. At the
same time, while they demand So. 80 per day
for each man who has worked five years at
the tri de, they do not expect nor do they
force any master plumber to pay said wages
to any man who is incompetent and incapa-
bic to perform services to the equivalent of
$50 With regard to the indenturing of the
Toys, they have nothing to do with the num-
Der of boys the master plumber may employ
to meet his demands, but they do insist and
ask, after boy has served three years at the
business as helper, that he then become an
indentured apprentice for two years, thereby
serving his time in full, becoming q good
workman and an honor to the trade, instead
OF botch as you will find many to-day, being
sent up at too early period of their trade
spelling themselves and whatever they I'M
dertake, besides depriving a good man of a
job in slack times because he can better
satisfy the desires Of the master plumbers by
working 81 per day less, and for which the
public will have to pay in full. While I
recognize the master plumbers of this city as
men Of good, sound Judgment, I also recog-
niZe the fact that their intellectual faculties
are in no manner superior to many of those
l have conversed with in the journeymens
ranks, and | doubt, practically speaking. on
an average if they are equal. Recognizing
those facts and the Importance they bear to
the public, the demands made by the Jour
neymen are not exhorbitant, as they demand
nothing further from the public than what
they had been receiving, but on the contrary
are trying to give to the public just recon-
pense in good work. Nor can 1 conscien-
tiously see why the master plumbers should
try to shield themselves under the cloak of
public sympathy when their very action in
this matter is the reverse, and they are solely
and entirely the cause las far as the plumb
ing and gasfitting strike in this city is con-
cerned) If there should be any depreciation
in business. further say that it is the duty
Of our citizens to patronize such men as f.
L. Sykes, Peterson Ruel and others who have
complied with the journeymen plumbers de-
mands. They will have their work promptly
attended to by good and competent men and
there will be no eXtortions, but Justice and
equality extended TO all. Respectfully yours

A BAG GAME OF POKER,
Wherein Nerve and a Hidden Ace
Raked in Over $4,000.

RakeG in Over SIS, 900.
Yes, have seen some nice little games
out West" remarked a man whose dark
hair was slightly tinged with gray, a few
evenings ago as he sat with few friends
who had been discussing the closing of all
gambling houses in this city. ''Some very
good ones in fact. Many people think the
East is the only place where gambling is
carried Oh to any extent, but they want to
go out in the cattle country and among the
gold mines if they want to see some big
games. While in DeadwOOd. in 1877 or
1878, | don't remember which, / saw a
game which set me thinking considerably,
and made me wonder if human nerve had a
limit Sunday evenings was then the
great time in that city, and everything was
wide open, from the lowest dance-bouse to
the most palatial rooms in the city. Stud
poker, faro, hazard and Spanish
monte were the principal games
played. Everyone PLAYED occasionally,
andSa man who never touched a chip was
looked on with surprise and almost con-
tempt. The men from the mines were al
ways present and ready to stake their last
dollar on their favorlte card. But to re-
turn to the game of which | started to
speak. | had gone into big gambling
uOuSe anu llleI6 lOtllu one Oh Tie most
motley crowds it has ever been my fate to
minge with. At d Stud-poker table in the
rear rear room sat large party of men,
among them Walt Owens and Lew Palmer,
two men well known among the sporting
fraternity as hard betterS and nervy men,
The game was a big one, and soon all the
men but Owens and Palmer had withdrawn
from the game. Betting ran high and the
other tables were soon deserted. the players
coming to where the two men sat, and
watching the game with almost breathless
interest. The game progressed, and the
first card turned up for Palmer was a ten
spot. Owens also got a ten, and after
looking at the card turned face down bet
so. Palmer staid. His next card was a
seven. Ovens gaze rested on five spot
dealt him, but he cheerfully saw the 500
bet by Palmer. Thus matters went Oh
until four cards lay in front of each man,
face up, and one turned down. Not pair
was in sight, and everyone thought each
man had an ace lin the hole" The betting
then began in earnest, and each man must
have had an idea the other was ''bluffing, -
or at least it looked so. Soon there was
some 5000 on the table. and Palmer made a
bet of $500. Owens looked at his hand,
then at his antagonist. Not word did he
say, but reaching into his inside vest
pocket drew out big roll of
bills from which he drew IS, 200. After
celebrating moment, he dropped
it into the pot his face not moving a
muscle. Palmer laid his hands on the
table in front of him, then pulled similar
amount from his pocket, counted it. and
found that it took every cent he had. With
a smile he leaned forward. and called
Owens bet. Silently the two men turned
over the faced card. Palmer had king,
Owens an ace. Palmer glanced at the
cards, rose from his seat. and remarked,
in a calm voice, THAT beats me; Walt,
lend me dollar to get drink, will you?'
and sauntered off.

A Little Candid Talk.

The plumbers strike has enlightened The
public upon at least one interesting point
The journeymen state that men and bows
who have worked at the trade for only a.
few months and receiving wages ranging
from S1.50 to 80 per day have been sent out
to do work as journeymen and their serv-
ces been charged up to the customer at the
rate of So. While this has perhaps not
been the rule in all shops, an army of in
dignant housekeepers can be found who are
willing to give instances in which the use
fulness of water pipes in their dwellings
has been almost if not entirely DESTROYED
by incompetent workmen who tore
everything to pieces, and seemed
at a loss as to how to
put 'humpty-dumpty together again )"
1t is also likely that the defective systems
OF water and sewer pipes in many large
blocks are directly due to the same cause.

The police have been ordered not to in
dulge i'll smoking while on their beats and
1t is more than probable that the order will
be followed by several others calculated to
improve the appearance of the force. All
the patrolmen are to have new uniforms
the helmet hat is to be adopted, and it is
likely that blackened shoes, clean collars,
ana a military carriage will be punctiliously
required. Among other innovations the
detailing OF detective at headquarters for
night duty is wise move that is likely to
bear fruit in the way of speedy directions

variety which they sell for $3.50 per
bushel. The price is high, hut evidently
as means to off set the big price, the
agents offer to buy back next fall all the
seed grown from this variety at $40 per
bushel. Numerous sales have been
made throughout this section, and the
men are still here. The Chambersburg
National Bank has already negotiated
notes from responsible farmers aggrega-

The scheme is looked upon with suspi-

burglars in Shepherdstown Wednesday
night. An attempt was made to enter
the residence of Geo. NJ. Beltzboover by
boring four holes into the window shut
ter, but the thief was frightened away,
evidently, for he departed without
making any further effort. Fooled here,
the burglar or burglars then went up
the street and entered the residence Of
the editor, Mr.. H. L. Snyder, through
the parlor window. He went through
the house, carefully taking a lot Of
papers out of secretary and emptying
the sideboard of its silverware, which,
however, he failed to carry eff. He then
went up stairs, and while trying the
doors aroused the family. When he dis
covered this he Immediately left, taking
nothing with him, so far as we know.
Fortunately all the valuable silverware
and other articles worth anything were
safely locked up elsewhere, and the bur-
glar got nothing for his pains. The
work of the burglar looked like that Of
