Advancing Prices and Not the Removal of
the Ticker. Did tho Work.
"What has been the effect o. the removal

Oakley, the broker, yesterday.
"My business has doubled" be replied,
"but am not sure that it is due to the re-
moval of the ticker. The bucket shops have
been closed up, but it was the ad-
vance in prices that knocked them out
rather than the loss of the
quotations. Busidess on the Chicago mar
ket has been very active, with advancing
prices. Very often the market is lively on
declining prices, but then we never make
any money.
They are still very strict, however, about
the quotations. There isn't wheat ticker

or absolutely disgraceful act.

The Fate Which Befell General Passenger
Agent CInrk's Check Book.
"Mv bank account has been squeezed
often. but don't think it was ever pinched
quite so hard as at present" remarked Gen
eraI Passenger Agent A. E. Clark, OF the
Lake Erie road Yesterday, as he pulled and
grew red in the face at the big safe door
which refused to open.
A peculiar accident had happened. Mr..
Clark was putting away his check-oook,
which contained a number that had been
filled out when it fell, and the heavy safe
door closed on it. There it was under the
big iron plate acting as a wedge, and re.
fusine to let anybody in or out. Several
strong men were tugging away at the door,
but the little book held it most effectively.
Finally Mr.. Clark took hatchet and cut
off the projecting end of the book, and with
a sharp wedge worked back the remainder
of it under the door. Fortunately the book
had been caught in such manner that the
checks we're cut off near the stubs, and they
were all right. Afterward the door was
easily opened.

Pittsbur Hotel Men Complaining Of the Present
Dullness Of Business.

The United Miners have valuable leader
in Secretary Robert Watchorn. So many
distressing accidents like the one at Dunbar
have happened in recent years that Mr..
Watchorn is anxious that mine operators
use all the necessary precautions to prevent
them. He has worked hard to secure better
legislation, but so far the corporations have
been too much for him and his peaple.
The other day at Dunbar he was reading
an editorial in The DISPATCH in which it
was recommended to place in various parts
of the mines canned goods, ship biscuit and
food of that character to meet emergencies
in case men were entombed.
81 like the spirit of the editorial, said
Mr.. watchorn, but the plan wouldn't
work. have a better scheme than that.
Generally what miners need the most in
such terrible dilemmas is air, and this food
would not supply it.
LIFE SAVER.
"There is a machine in use in some mines
that is intended to meet all such cases. 1t
costs money to put ii in, but it will save life.
One is now in operation in the morrell mine
nearby here, and an owner of the Dunbar
pit told me the other night that he would
now give the price OF the machine many
times over if he only had one in his mine,
and could get one tap from the imprisoned
men.
"The machine consists of tube that is run
into the mine. 1t is so arranged that the
men inside, in a few minutes, can communi-
cate to the surface in any language. The
instructions are very simple, so many taps
for air and so MANY for something else.
Such machine would supply 100 men with
air for any length of time. Liquid food
could be sent into them through the pipe.
By notifying the miner he could place his
bucket under the other end and get all the
milk, for example, he wanted.
CONVEYING ENCOURAGEMENT
"But the greatest advantage is that you
could talk to the imprisoned men and keep
up their spirits, tell them just what is being
done at the work of rescue, and no man can
tell how highly these precious words would
be priced by the poor fellows entombed
under the earth.
ave are too anxious these DAYS to get rich,
and we even do it at the expense of life.
Mines are worked to yield profit, not Tor the
safety OF the employees, and all the life
saving appliances are not introduced,
simply because it may cost a few thousand
dollars Wouldn't any operator gladly give
the price when it is too late, and some of his
men have been buried alive?"

Special Agent Houghron Says They Arc

1.-THE hordes Of trsmps moving eastward

HaVebn Eoughton, of the Pennsylvania

we stationed officers at New Florence, where
all the trains stop for water, and we cap
tured 36 riding on the cars. The county
jails are full of these fellows.
''Their Mecca in the summer is the large
Eastern cities, and in the winter they mi
crate South. Since the panic started many
honest men on the road looking for work the
tramp has become permanent institution,
and as a class they are people who would
not earn their bread under any conditions
by the sweat OF their brow. They are too
lazy. There is nc lack for employment these
DAYS, but the ranks OF the tramp, instead of
depicting, are increasing. Once in a while
we find one among them who is looking for
a job, but he is soon proselyted and becomes
as bad as the rank and file.

and springhouses and occasionally a store
in small town than to work for living"
