The Worlds FART

Take it all in all the world is fair. That is, its
judgments are pretty generally just. No doubt it
has formed many incorrect conclusions from the
time the caravels OF Columbus appeared off the

its truth. Give the Bitters fair trial and verify

OAKLAND.-Yesterday morning the old
order of things was resumed on Seventh

taken off for good. Between the mole
and Fruitvale only one train will now be
In service upon the arrival of each ferry
boat from San Francisco.
Shortly after II o'clock Monday night
the order for the abandonment of the
through train was given out. 1t was not a
great surprise to the officials of the road.
for they had previously learned that some
such change would be made whether the
plan of collecting fares between stations
oD Seventh street went into effect or not.
Contrary to the general expectation the
operation of gates was not commenced
yesterday morning. 1t has been learned
that a special dispatch from San Fran
cisco was received the afternoon before.
the contents OF which were to the effect
that the putting on of gates and gatemen
had been delayed indefinitely.
Storerooms have been rented all along
Seventh street at stations. These rooms
will be used as depots. waiting-rooms and
ticket-OfficeS. Before these places signs
have been suspended bearing the an
nouncement that tickets must be presented
TO the train gateman before entering cars.
The effect of the removal of the flyer is
to restore the old-time schedule that was
formerly in vogue.
Trains will leave Broadway station for
the mole at seven and thirty-seven min
uteS after the hour, except after 10 P. NJ,
when trains will leave twelve minutes
after the hour.
In reference to the gates on the local
trains Vce-President Crocker gave it as
his opinion yesterday that they never
would be used. 'In fact" said Mr..
Croker, "they are more for a suggestion
of our intention to prevent free riding than
for actual use. Some other plan will
shortly be devised

IN THE HOP FIELDS,
Features of Life Among tho Hop Pickers
of New

Features OF Life Among the Hop Pickers
of New York.
Perhaps in no section of the United
states is there more prolific hop
territory than may be found in the
counties of Schoharie and Otsego,
says the Albany Argus, where nearly
every available foot of ground is
studded with the poles under which
thousands of young and old people
annually earn and enjoy their vaca-
tions. Albany county, too, has a
number of hop fields. The agents
point out this feature of the hop
picking pursuit as the main argument
in enlisting recruits.
Each yard is invariably equipped
with dancing pavilion, or a barn
metamorphosed into one, and in the
evenings fun re1gns unchecked. The
fun, by the way, forms large section
OF the recompense for the days labor,
the money consideration being of such
slight proportions as to form no con-
siderable matter OF worry.
Albany generally furnishes the bulk
OF assistance to the farm owners in
the persons of girls, women, young
and old, men whose regular avoca-
tions do not demand their services at
this season of the year, and who find
this the only available means of tax
ing vacation.
One of the agents told an Argus
man recently that the main troubles
to be contended with in the business
were the hop lice and the bug Juice,
the former on the vines and the lat
ter in the pickers. There is no
known remedy to suppress the hop
lice evil, but the bug juice tendency
has been successfully ccntended with
by the application of the summary
dismissal principle.
the vicinity of Cooperstown and
all around the shores of Lake Otsego
IN the early September evenings the
jolly parties in the various hop fields,
may be heard indulging in all kinds
OF gay and pleasurable proceedings,
marked mainly by the sound of song
and the squeak of the country violin
as the various groups send vocal in
cense to Apollo, Or beat in merry
cadence their pedal tribute to Terp-
sichore.
Some of the pickers make lots of
dollars at the hop yards. The ways
taken by this money are various.
Some who believe that industry.
frugality, and economy lead the way
to wealth put by the proceeds of
their hop picking. Other pickers
only go for the jolly times. The
Albany police have a tradition that
when the hop pickers come back
arrests are plenty.

'ut nature could not explain the

but nature could not explain the
ghostly meeting" =
Such was the Texans story. Was
it an explanation OF the moldering
box that the workman found in the
ruined tower, and were the blood
stained garments those of the mur-
dered bride of long ago, who had
come back to the old church in the
midnight to act again the tragedy of
her unknown sorrow and mysterious
marriage, or was the vision only q
phantom of the tired brain of the
man whose life was, spent amid
scenes of BLOOD and the music only
the soloing of pines as they stood
witnessing the desolation of the land,
all the shedding of blood, and help
less to do more than wall and toss
their giant limbs in the winds?

1t Builds 1ts Nest In tho Dsawhsad Of q
Freight Car.
The queer places chosen BY birds for
building their nests and rearing their
young have caused comment in many
OF the natural histories now in use.
but out OF them all there is no moro
remarkable instance Of the MISGUIDED
efforts of the birds quoted than was
exhibited in the Western New York
and Pennsylvania yards at Oil City.
A Western New York and Pennsyl-
vanla freight train came down from
O1ean the other day with q load of
empty cars, among them an Allegheny
Valley railroad car, No. 1919. One Of
the car inspectors was passing the
car when he noticed sparrow flut-
tering about the drawhead. It's
evident distress caused him to
examine the car closely, and in the in
side of tho neck of the drawhead he
found a small hole in the iron casing.
and in this a birds nest containing
four eggs. The nest was So situated
that the bird could only reach it when
the drawhead was drawn to its entire
length, and how the bird had managed
TO build its nest and lay its eggs under
the conditions is still mystery. If
the car had been sidetracked at Olean
long enough to allow the nest build
ing, then the bird must have followed
the train or been brought with it
from Olean. !.
