WRANGLING BREWERS.
In Revolt Against an Officer of the

There is serious trouble In Branch OF
the Brewery Workmen's Union between
the members and the general secretary,
Frank Bucher. Alfred Fnhrmann, who
had been secretary Of the union for several
wears, was deposed at the last election by
the votes of branches in Tacoma and other
outside towns. and Bueher was chosen In
his stead. -
The local branches did not like the
change but were compelled to submit A

ganization on last Tuesday night The SIX

They Brighten the 6 Unavailable De-
partment of Magazine.
ST Louis Post Dispatch.
The "Unavailable Department. in Flea
nor Kinks Idea is bringing to light some
weird examples Of poetry as ii is written by
the aspiring young woman and the amb-
tious young man. AS its name would imply,
this department is designated as refuge
for poets whose efforts are not appreciated
or published elsewhere At its head ap-
pears the following refreshingly frank edito-
rial statement: These productions hutter
in from all quarters. When they are bad
enough and The writer's are anxious TO see
them in print they are immediately utilized"
1t Is to be regretted that the greater number
of the responses to this Invitation are sent
by women.
An idea Of the character of their work
may be gained from a glance at the follow
ing gems selected at random from several
issues OF the Idea. The first. and probably
the worst, appears under the touching title:
A CRoss-EYED GIRL.

Semmi times line carries OF my heith.
I've got good teeth laughing mean
And nufy hair OF orion sheen.
My 10 quite small my mouth Is sweete,
And no girl has more hansome feet.
The young woman goes on to explain
that during severe attack of the wnooping
cough she Crossed her eyes and thus
ruined her prospects In life. Her grief cul-
inmates in these lines:
OF course man will marry me,
And though an maid can't bear to be,
would pat up withtnat you
If both my eye would look one way
And not so Tar from each other stray.
Another young woman, equally frank.
undertakes to explain the crying need OF
her soul in these words:
THE MANLY BREAST.
I'd give each Jewel possess,
And more. II could rest
My head upon manly breast,
breast pure as mountain snow,
And warm for Etaa's fire.,
For me alone To this do aspire.
But year by year. instead OF coming higher,
do but retrograde-' It's sad,
IT'S passing sad, and makes me feel so bad.
Last, but not least, is a death~bed solilo-
guy. of which but stanZa or two can be
reproduced here:
For see bright angels ling, comingl
Coming down with words of love-
For to bear me home to glory.
And to live with them above
hey are coming, coming nearer.
By'n'bye they'll gather round my bed,
And my form will then be counted
With the loved ones who are dead.
The young woman's cheerful resignation
to the approaching end will be enthusiastic
cally shared by many readers.

ENGLISH WATERS.
How They Are Paid and Held Re-
sponsible.


In English restaurants, where the Gus
toner paws his bills through the waiter, the
latter is held responsible for lis due pay
ment from the moment he receives the arti-
cles ordered by the customer from the
kitchen. and what is known as the ''chack"
system Is pretty generally adopted. The
waller. on beginning his days work, pays
In to the proprietor or his clerk from SO to
sos to cover the value Of the orders he Is
likely TO receive during the day. and be is
given In exchange a number OF "checks,"
For every order he gives he hands Ia
checks TO an equivalent amount. Ii the
value of the orders exceeds the amount Of
deposit the waiter must pay In more money

customers pay him he retains until settling

yesterday morning.
Attorney Hobbs appeared for the de-
fendent and pleaded guilty to the charge.
But in doing so lie wished to make an ex-
planstion.
Young Rountree," said he, "heard that
Smedley had been accusing his brothers of
arson in connection with the recent fire on

him if he had been doing so. Smedley re-
piled: Go away, young man; l don't

the closed doors and asked when theywould
get their pay and when they would get
their wardrobes left in the building. There
was no answer, for Mr.. Hudson had not
put in an appearance. and. more than that
he and his wife had left their quarters op-
posite tho Temple and gone up to 40 Ellis
street. But nobody except a CALL re-
porter and one other man knew where they
were.
Mr.. Hudson said he had sunk four or
five thousand dollars in the venture and
owed a little over thousand TO tradesmen
and not over 500 to the people of his COM
pany. He said that he would know to-day
whether he would be able to go on or not.
Others interested in the matter said that
there was over $500 owing to the people
employed about the theater and that Mr..
Hudson had no money at all when he un-
dertOok the venture.
There were some seventeen or eighteen
employees, and each one of these is behind
in their pay. But what they are just now
complaining about is the fact that they
cannot get their clothes out. and these
things they claim are not subject to attach
