Sir IIe,,ry,s Mistake.

When Sir Henry Knight, ex-lord
mayor of London, was here recently a
reporter was assigned to interview
him. The day was considerably hot,
and the newspaper man had consider
able to do outside the duty alluded to.
When he first called at the Grand Pa
cific Sir Henry was not i'll, and during
the afternoon lie every little while
would pop in and inquire if the mayor
had returned. Coming i'll about 5
O'clock hot and tired the man he
wanted was pointed out to him, just
going for the elevator. Rushing to
him the reporter asked for few min
utes' talk, and the Englishman readily
consented, saying: Let us sit down
here" AS they sat down and were
about to begin the conversation, the
reporter, feeling very hot, removed
his hat to wipe the perspiration from
his forehead. Seeing the motion, Sir
Henry raised his hand in depreciation
and said in the most friendly and
affable manner: "Oh, you needn't
take of your hat to me, sir. Chi

How Hard He Finds it to Get People to

The trials and tribulations of q young
doctor are sometimes enough to give you the
blues" said juvenile member of the medi-
cal profession on the Southside yesterday
afternoon.
SIT is extraordinary how the people will
impose upon you and ask you to do things
for nothing. Now, 1 had an experience
with family the other day. The people
are well-to-do and they make pretense of
belonging to the better class of our residents
on the Southside. Well, little girl of the
family had been playing on the street
and by some accident or other she ran
splinter into her hand. The thing Of course
was very painful and the child screamed
frightfully. The mother sent for me and I
pulled the splinter out Of the little girls
hand. A few days after I presented bill
to the family; well, you never saw such as
tonished people in all your life. They
never expected that 1 wanted to be paid for
trifing thing like pulling that splinter
out of the child's hand. AZ the same time
those people will pay cobbler for putting
a small patch on an old shoe. But that is
different, they say.
Experiences of that kind are very fire.

take physician long to do work of that
kind, he ought not to be paid for it"

CLOAKS ARE STOLEN.
6oggs 4 Buhl Again the Victims Of a
Systematic Robbery.
ONE OF THE CLERKS Is ARRESTED
On a Charge of Carrying Away Number
of Valuable Articles.
A PORTION OF THE GOODS RECOVERED

Another systematic, and what may prove
to be an extensive. robbery was discovered
at Boggs & Bulbs drygoods store, on Fed
eral street, Allegheny, last week. On Sat-
urday Detective John R. Murphy, who had
been working on the case, located a
number of valuable cloaks that had
been stolen. The firm at once
made information before Mayor Pearson
against William McKeown, young man
employed in the wrapping department. A
warrant was issued and Young McKeown
was placed under arrest. James Grow,
Chief of the Fire Department, gave bail for
the prisoners appearance at a. hearing in
the sum of s., 900.
The police officials could not, or would
not, give any information of the case, as an
effort is being made to keep it quiet. A re-
porter for this paper obtained the details of
the robbery from one of the clerks in the
store. The prisoner was engaged In the
wrapping department, and is accused of
wrapping up cloaks that had not been paid
for and removing them from the store.
The stolen goods were sold to the occu-
pants Of several disorderIy houses in the
First ward, and it is believed the prisoner
received about $3.50 for the cloaks. The ex-
tent of the robbery cannot be given, and
whether the boy is guilty or innocent will
not be known until after the hearing, which
will be held before Mayor Pearson to-day.
Boggs & Buhl have suffered more from
shop-lifters and sneak-thieves than any
other firm in the two cities.

Coal Operators Hope the Men VIII Work
for 20 Cents a Ton-Hoosier Mine Own
ersAfraid of Legislation.
'I don't think there will be lockout, {"
said coal operator yesterday who had at
tended the indianapolis convention. 'T
think we will be able to agree on the price
at the Columbus meeting. The basis has
already been arranged. The men would
prefer to have one price all the year round.
On an average they are paid 75H cents per
ton for the year in the PIttsburg territory.
The present state Of the market, however,
will not warrant us in paying that much.
About 70 cents is all that we can afford to
give, and 1 believe the men will agree to it.
cat indianapolis the miners were quite
liberal in their demands. John Mcbride
is an intelligent man, and found him TO
be better posted than most of the operators.
"The Indiana operators were responsible
for the hitch. They were afraid of few
ugly bills before the Legislature on mining
and the stores. One Of the miners told me
that the bills were supported by lot Of
political loafers. There is q miner in the
Legislature, but he did not introduce them.
Some of the miners are in favor of the
measures, and others are opposed to them.
As result, the operators were ratified, and
did not feel inclined to determine on price
until they knew what was to be done.
"Chicago used to be fine market for the
Indiana coal men; but the free use of oil in
many Of the mills has knocked them ont.
Since then they have been looking around
for markets like the rest of us. WI.

petitor; but we manage to ship most of our

How Some Railroad Operators Find Amuse-

A DISPATCH reporter was standing in
the waiting room of suburban station the
other evening looking through the grating
that separated the waiting room from the
telegraph operator, who sat leaning over the
table moving the men on checker board as
if playing a game of solitaire. Suddenly
he threw up his hands as the instrument
stopped clicking. and exclaimed:
"Hey, Rhody, old boy, that's the third
camel" Then glancing up suddenly and
seeing the reporter in the window, he said:
"Did you ever see game of checkers
played by wire ? This makes the third game
I've played r. o. tonight. We play every
night when business is slack"
"Who's r.. OF Oh, he's the operator at
R. N, station about so miles down the
line. You see, all the squares are numbered
on this board, and R. o. has similar board.
We choose our men, and designate which
