J. L. EVANS REPLY.

He Takes Exceptions to an Outside View
on the Ihmsen Matter.
Regarding the statements made by an un-
Interested labor man relative to the Ihmsen
trouble, Master Workman Evans said last
night: 'No threats were ever made that a
strike would occur on the 2Sth of
January if the firm declined the
demands. There are u. not 2
mixers and teasers employed in the shop,
and all but one have signifed their willing
ness to join the K. of L. That is what we
want. We were after no trouble, and no
one connected with our side of the case
wanted a strike.
"All we were after was to get those men
into the union, and they will come in. The
gentleman who has seen fit to meddle with
other peoples business knows he has made
false statements, and knows that because
Mr.. Wright was not here was because he
was sick. He will be looked after in his
own organization next Friday"

THE DRIVER HELPED HIM.
Trials of Young Man in Taking His Bes1
Girl to the Theater.

Trials of Young Man in Taking His Best
Girl to the Theater.
A certain newspaper man In PIttsburg de-
sired to give his best girl who lives in the
East End gorgeous treat last week. He
blew in the major portion of his weekly sti-
pend to buy seats Tor three nights to hear
the Kendals. He wanted to do everything
in elegant style however, and in addition he
hired cab, and found he had 20 cents lett.
He gave the driver 10 cents as tip to put
him in good humor, and spent
the other 10 for cigarettes. This
left him without sou in his best clothes.
He remarked afterwards that he took the
cab on tick, as he knew the driver, and he
hadn't enough money to pay the street car
fare.
Arrived at the beautiful home OF the mil
lionaire's daughter, she proved to be a very
democratic and sensible girl. A cab, she
said, was useless expense, and sne would
ride to the theater in a street car. Cold
drops Of perspiration ran down over the
Young mans face, leaving marks like rills
through field of snow. He hadn't the
fare, but happy thought struck him. He
borrowed 20 cents from the driver and the
young reporter was happy.

RILEY ON THE GUITAR.
He Says the Music Needs the Moonlight
Sound Sweetest,

He Says the Music Needs the Moonlight to
Sound Sweetest
james Whitcomb Riley and Judge White
sat together at the Press Club banquet.
They talked about variety of things, and
Riley. in the exuberance of his poetical
nature, introduced the subject of the guitar.
The Judge remarked that he was very fond
of this kind Of music. when Riley said:
''The guitar needs the moonlight, the
blinds and the shutters to sound the
sweetest. I don't like to hear guita r
played during the day. For that matter I
think humanity is more susceptible to
music at night than while the sun is shining.
When the shades begin to fall the business
man ceases his cares the busy housewife
lays aside her work, and everybody seeks
enjoyment. I like the night. 1t is a bless
ing to the world"

Captain Orcutt Uses a Bank Note to Polish

st. Charles Hotel yesterday, with smile,

hurt the money. A one-dollar bill would
answer the purpose as we'll as note for a
hundred, but in this case 1 happened to
have the ten and used it.
81 have been cleaning my glasses for years
with bank notes, and 1 have never found
anything that makes them as clear. Ii you
use a handkerchief it leaves the lint behind,
and ten to one the glass is blurred. The
money removes all the dirt and grease, and
leaves no trace of itself. Am 1 afraid of con-
tracing some disease of the eyes? Well, 1
never thought of that, and [ know that some
physicians claim that diseases are trans.
mitted by money, since it passes through so
many hands. No, 1 am not afraid; and 1
will still continue to use the bank notes for
this purpose. The texture is soft, and it GER
tainly removes dirt Indeed, there is MOTH
ing like paper money for polishing fine
glassware"

MORE GAS TERRITORY.
A Roarer Struck at Aladdin, Up Along the
Allegheny River.

A Roarer Struck at Aladdin, Up Along the
Allegheny River.
George PotterIe, who owns tar works at
Aladdin station, on the Allegheny Valley
Railroad, brought in a roaring gas well yes
terday. The we'll has not been fully tested.
but registered 150 pounds in ten seconds.
Further tests cannot be made until the
casing is anchored more securely. The gas
WAS struck in the 100-toot sand and the we'll
is probably the strongest from that forma-
tion except the one near Sarver station,
owned by the Plttsburg Plate Glass Com
pany.
The importance of the strike lies in the
fact that it opens new territory. 1t is FIVE
miles from the developments made by the
Plate Glass Company, at Kelly station, and
seven miles from the Sarver field. Mr..
Potterie's works have been shut down for
some time, but will resume operations at
once.

The water is thrown % feet wide and more

MAKING THEM QUARREL.

The Owners of Gas Wen Unable to Agree
What to Do.
A gentleman who lives down the Fort
Wayne Railroad says the owners of the gas
well on the Courtney farm have degenerated
into an unorganized mob. While the we'll
was casing they were offered big price for
it by gas company. They couldn't agree
among themselves SO the we'll was not sold.
Now she is turning to oil, and they are
quarreling as to whether she shall be put
deeper and fully developed.
Meantime, the gentleman quoted states
that corner is likely to be effected and the
stock pass into fewer hands.

The trouble with all imi-
tators is that they are apt
to overlook the excellen-
cies and copy the defects.
Sensible men adopt SEN
sible things whether they
are native or foreign. The
great point is to avoid
going to extremes. Our
styles are in good taste
simply because we throw
aside the absurdities and
avail ourselves of the best
ideas wherever we find
them. They include
nothing that good, sound
common sense will not
Immediately approve of.

CONDEMNED THE ACTION.
P1asterers Resent the Stand Taken by the
Building Trades Council.

Building Trades Council.
The trouble between D. A. 8, K. of L.,
and Smithfeld street halter, is becoming
interesting. Master Workman Evans said
last evening: "At the last meeting of the
Building Trades Council resolution was
passed indorsing the halter and the new
salesman's union. I have positive infor-
nation, however, that quite number of the
delegates voted against the resolution, and
among others those from Plasterers' Union
No. 81. At q meeting of the latter organi-
zstion, held last night. resolution was
unanimously passed condemning the action
of the Building Trades Council and in
dorsing the action of Salesman's Assembly
1907, X. of L.
This makes an open fight between D. A.
3, x. of t., and the Building Trades Coun-
Gil. which promises to become decidedly in

In Hoyt's "a Trip to Chinatown" a
character was put in after the play had been
written and produced for some time
on the stage. 1t is the editor of
the modern society journal In
San Francisco one of these fellows
attacked Hoyt in a most scurrilous manner,
and as the playwright did not have the op-

he sat down and wrote q part to fit him.
The character was produced before the COM

He is the one man in the play who re.
ceives all the kicks and cuffs, and as he is

PASSING THRONG.
TIE CROWDS WHO PROMENADE ON MARKET
STREET,
Are "Dead Pointer" That Wheeling is Live
Town-Ths Results Of Count Made
Last Night

Wheeling has long been known as a
city notable for the number OF people
to be seen upon its main thoroughfares,
on summer evening, and it is COM
mon remark, by strangers, that the
crowds upon Market and Main streets
are, If anything, larger than are to be
seen upon similar streets in cities OF
from five to ten times our population.
1t is a source of perpetual wonder, to
those temporarily sojourning here,
where all the people come from, and 1t
must be confessed that some times we
who are native and TO the manner born
are nonplussed to account for the rush
of promenaders, shoppers and sight
seers, especially upon Saturday even
ings.
Market street, between Twelfth and
Fourteenth, is, of course, the most
crowded of all the streets OF the
city of a pleasant evening, for about
everybody down or up town, whether
shopping or on pleasure Dent, passes
along this stretch Of street during the
evening.
Last night, being fair average eve
ming for promenaders, REGISTER re-
porter made some Investigations with a
view OF ascertaining how many people
passed along Market street, between
the hours of six o'clock p. m. and mid
night, and came to the conclusion that
not less than twenty thousand people, OF
whom about eighteen thousand were on
foot and two thousand In street cars
and vehicles of one sort and another,
passed this Office.
To arrive at this approximation the
people were counted for five minutes at
time, twice every hour, on the west
sidewalk only, with the following re-
suit
