1t is an amusing thhg-thls mlstak-
ing stranger for some one you know
or it is amusing to sec some one else do

And did you ever notice the differ
ence between men and women in the
way in which they get around the mis-
take?
A man will go up to another one and
say:

man takes it and gives it a cordial
shake and says: -.. .
'ITow do you do? How are you? 1t

When they come to compare their
mental notes they discover that they
never have met anywhere, but they sit
down and discuss politics and religion,

dom as if meeting was an every day oc-

A woman will bow to another, think

At the election held by the Seattle Typo

Union of the craft, which will be held in
Philadelphia in June, two propositions for
changes in the constitution of the organi-
cation were submitted to be voted upon,
One of these is simply modification of
the present constitution, but the other
provides for radical changes, making the
organization similar TO the Cigarmakers'
Union in many respects.
The principal features of the first are:
That members of the allied crafts (wheu To-
Gated in cities where no union OF their craft ex-
ists) be permitted TO Join typographical unions:
that biennial meetings te held in the city of
Indianapolis: that per capita tax, BY the use
OF adhesive stamps, be collected also tina. work
Ing cards be furnished by the International
Typographical Union, and that the territory of
tie International Union be divided in twelve
districts.
The principal features of the second
proposition are:

Wants q Maynard Girl Arrested, and
Says Her Lover Cut Him.
A middle-aged man, neatly dressed,
called at police headquarters yesterday
morning and informed Chief Jackson that
he was from Tacoma; that the 17-year-old
daughter of Tacoma friend had been en-
ticed from her home by young fellow,
and was now living with him in this city.
He wanted an officer to accompany him to
where the girl was and arrest her and her
paramour.
The chief told the man that an officer
could not make any arrests in a case of
that kind without a warrant. He then
went away, but returned in about three
hours, greatly excited and plainly under
the influence of liquor.
81 went up THERE" he exclaimed, land
tried to take the girl, but he stabbed me
in the back"
He held up his coat and there was a lit
tie blood on his shirt near the small of his
back. The cut was slight one, but the
chief told him to go to doctor, make
sure that he was not seriously cut, and
then return to headquarters, and an off,
Ger would accompany him and arrest his
assailant.

TO COVER THE MINOR ROUTES.
Captain Green Will Run the Washing
ton to La Conner,

Captain l.. Green, who has been running
the steamer Hassalo for the Union Pacific
Company, has made arrangements with
the Puget Sound and Alaska Steamship
Company for the lease of the steamer
Washington for few days. Captain
Green intends to organize company for
the maintenance of the La Conner water
route and he will run the Washington to
La Conner from Seattle, stopping at way
points, until permanent arrangements are
made for the lease of this or another
steamer. He may eventually put one or
more boats on this run.
The retirement of the Union Pacific
company from steamboating on the Sound
has left vacant several minor routes,
which Captain Green will endeavor to
cover by private organization. The
Union Pacific managers, though they
made arrangements with another COM
pany for the transaction of the principal
water line business, overlooked the La Con-
ner run altogether; but the Washington
will continue to maintain communication
to that point and way ports.

The local expenses of the unions to be limited
to per cent of the gross receipts of each local

Finance inspectors to be appointed by the
general officers and all moneys to be reported to

An expert "salaried" law officer to take the

OF these two plans, the majority of the
members of the Seattle union voting
thereon favored the latter. A large num-
Der did not vote for either. The vote has
no effect, however. outside of answering as
a guide to the delegates when they meet
at the regular session of the International

If any of the propositions are adopted
then they are sent out to the local unions

FOR sWINDLING LABORERS.
Bogus Employment Agent Captured.
and Jumps His Bail.

D. B. Baker, an old man who for a
long time conducted an employment office
on Commercial street, near the corner Of
Washington, was brought into the city
last night by Detective Cave, upon a
charge of obtaining STA under false pre-
lenses. Baker was found at Earl's camp,
on the route of the Monte Cristo road.
A week ago several Italians went to the
prosecuting attorney and said that Baker
had promised to give thirty-eight of them
employment at railway camp for So a
head. Each Italian put up his So, and
they were then told to call next day and
they would be guided to the place where
work awaited them. When the Italians
called next day the old man was not in.
The Office was stripped of its furniture and
the agent had disappeared. After hearing
the story the prosecuting attorney drew
up q complaint, on which Justice Won
Tobel issued a warrant charging Baker
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses.
Detective Cave learned that Baker was
at Michael Earl's railway camp, where 800
men are employed at digging 4OO-yard
tunnel, and he took the first train for
Getchell, the nearest point to the camp,
and he walked eighteen miles over the
trail from there to his destination. He ar
rived at o'clock yesterday morning, ar
rested Baker and brought him to the city,
arriving last night.
Michael Earl, who happened to be in the
city, heard of Bakers arrest and put up
500 bonds for his appearance in court this
afternoon. Last night at II O'Clock Earl
called at police headquarters and notified
the officers that Baker had gone by the
steamer Premier to Port Townsend. Cap
tain Hogle Immediately telegraphed to the
chief of police of Port Townsend telling
him to arrest Baker upon the arrival OF
the steamer and hold him until an officer
arrives to take him in charge.

In Anew days the Union Pacific Company

mechanic, arrived from Portland several
Gays ago, and has placed all of the boats

mere are at present tied up at the City
uock the steamers Sehome, Hassalo, North

ihey VIII all be taken to Portland except
,he North Pacific, which will be
leased to the Puget Sound &
Alaska Steamship Company. The feet,
upon Its arrival at Portland, will not be
put into active service, since there are now
more steamers on the Columbia river than
there is any use for. They will all be tied
up at the company's "bone yard" south
OF Portland, and will be used only for ex-
cursions or in cases of emergency.
An office clerk, who has been in the en-
pioy OF the Union Pacific company for a
long time, says that he as well as his fell
low clerks, who are familiar with the in
SIDE workings OF the company's Sound
water line interests, believe that the move
made by the Omaha managers is very bad
policy. He argues that the most money
ever lost in one month through running
the Sound steamers was $1,000; that
was during last November. "The COM
pany could well afford to lose 5000 a
month Tor the sake of the through BUSH
ness" said he, land the managers will
lose their guess if they think they can
keep up their through business under the
new arrangement. They are counting ON
their uptown Office for the sale of tickets,
and of course their Office on the dock will
be closed. This alone will cause many
passengers to buy tickets on other lines.
Then when the people East who want
through tickets find that the company has
to have other lines aid it in its business
they will be inclined to give their patron
age to company which has not given up
its field"
