During Forty-One Years He Has Covered

a reporter in Philadelphia claims 10
have found a man who has Travelled the
largest number of miles on earth. He
is an employe of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. and runs on the
main line. In over II years of travel he
has covered the enormous total of near
ly =. SOC. 900 miles.
For over four consecutive decades,
SAYS the Philadelphia Press. his home
may be said to have been practically on
the rail. He has lived over the rafting
wheels and behind the racing locomo-
tive. In point of service he is one of
the very oldest employees of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. He is
seventy-three years of age, but with his
bright eye and sturdy, erect figure he
would readily pass as twenty years
younger.
Mr.. Wilhelm entered the service of
the Pennsylvania on September 20,
1850, and has been continuously in its
employ ever since. During 3s years he
was travelling baggage master, and
made each week 1,412 and each year
73, 424 miles.
During three years of his Al years of
service he ran as conductor ON the
Camden & Amboy division of the
Pennsylvania between Philadelphia and
New York. The distance is 90 miles
and he made two round trips or 3si
miles a week, or -, ,9O4 miles in an.

Musical Car Whistles.

To the average New Yorker who finds
himself in Brooklyn in the course of the
open car season the most remarkable
feature of the occasion is the solos per-
formed by the conductors when they start
and stop the aforesaid cars.
They are not satisfied with the 'toot" to
stop and the ''toot-toot' to 60 ahead that
their New York brethren use, but run in
bewildering combinations of "tootle-tootle-
ti-too" and ''whoopety-whoop" that makes
a strangers brain reel. Some have a double
whistle and some boast whistles with three
pipes. These gentlemen penetrate the air
with bird notes and gurgling trills, and
when a dozen cars of as many lines get
punched together at the bridge or Fulton
ferry the resemblance to a rehearsal of a
brass band on Saturday night is startling
l asked a conspicuous performer on the
pipes the reason for his outbursts, and he
replied: It's de kids, seer If we use Ter

THE TARIFF ROSS WOMEN.
Why Glass Fruit Jars Have Been High.
Trust Did 1t.

why Glass Fruit Jars Have Been High.
A Trust Did 1t.
The National Glass Budget, the organ
Of the glassworkers' labor unions, has
recently printed a piece of news which
will show the housewives of the United
States why they have been paying such
high prices of late for glass fruit jars
It is another story, now grown familiar.
Of tariff trust putting up prices to
gather in tariff spoils The manufac-
turers of these jars are protected by a
duty of 40 per cent. on the best jars, ana
still higher on those of cheaper quality
Now let the buyers of fruit Jars keep
that fact in mind and read what The
Glass Budget says. After speaking of
the great boom in glass jars at the time
when the factories resumed work after
the summer shutdown. this paper
goes on:
Behind the boom there is most in
teresting story of how Whitney Bros.
Of the Whitney glass works, at Glass
borough, n. j., have scooped up clear
profit of 100000
1.-TWO years ago Whitney Bros. found
themselves in a position where it was
to their advantage to take the entire
product of an outside factory which
ran on jars for them. The Whitneys'
own mills continued to turn out the
usual amount, and the trade looked with
horror upon the jars, which We're piled
up into the thousand gross.
nAt tha haoipninp Of the Saacnn
combination was made in which it was
agreed to maintain the price at $3.50 a
gross. The Whitneys were in, but even
this combination did not let the others
rest easy. When the boom came the
Whitneys had about As 900 gross Of jars
on hand and they were masters of the
situation. Up jumped the price. 1t
rose quickly from s. to $3.50, to $50, to
SO so, to 81 and to Sl1.50, and still
Whitney Bros. had thousands of jars.
They could not ship them fast enough to
check the rise. From five to fifteen car
loads have been going daily from their
storehouses in Glassborough and Salem,
and yet but a small fraction of the de-
mand was met. Prices continued to jump.
and Tuesday offers as high as twelve
and fourteen dollars per gross were made
without securing the jars. The resump-
ton of work at the factories will have
no appreciate effect on the market"
Last fall, when the McKinleyites were
so overwhelmingly routed at the polls.

others said. 1.-The women did it," Are
not the women ready to do it" again?
