DODGE GETS MANY MEN.
Work of Hiring Strikers' Substi-
tutes Progressing Rapidly.

The hiring of men by Agent Charles
Dodge to take the place of the Pullman
strikers went on merrily to-day at the
United States Hotel, Fulton and Pearl
streets.
Mr.. Dodge. who. by the way, can do
more business and talk less about 1t
than any man known to New York
newspaper men, was reticent as usual
lie refused to talk about his apparent
success In hiring experienced railroad
men.

A long line OF applicants were waiting

the room, was ready Tor MN.
After a few words with the man
Dodge would make a big ID" on slip
OF yellow paper and give IT to the. man
with orders TO report at o'clock to-
morrow morning.
One Of the recipients of the big D.
told an Evening World" reporter that
Dodge simply asked him the same qucs-
tions propounded by the special" at
the door. and told the applicant to come
back tomorrow, when he would be told
what was wanted Of him and how much
he was to receive for the work.

well-known wholesale dealer, to a De-

years ago from the back woods, and
greener fellow you never saw. l met
him the first time he came into the

me about the kind Of country he lived

he didn't want to be a common peddler.

OYSTER CAUGHT A DUCK.
The RevenEcful Bivalve Drowned
It's Would-Be CRptor.

The meek and lowly oyster can some
times become a revengeful as we'll as a
dangerous antagonist. as an unwary
duck found to his cost a day or 80 ago
over on the eastern shore, says the Bal
timore American. This careless duck,
belonging to the tribe known as fisher
men," was swimming about in search of
food. off the shore near Claiborne, when
oyster he ,was.with shell widely parted.
feeding doubtless. on the simple and
rather intangible diet upon which an
oyster Is supposed to feed.
The duck. true to his greedy instincts,
dived for that supposed juicy morsel,
and was about to swallow him whole,
without salt or pepper even. when the
angry passions Of the oyster arose, and,
swapping his shells together, caught the
unsuspecting ducks bill in a Wise like
embrace.
The duck rose to the surface, shook
his head, mumbled apologies through
his tight-shut mouth. but the bivalve' 8
heart was hardened. and he held on.
Soon the constant load pulling down his
head and growing weightier and
weightier, began to tire the duck and
his neck arched lower and lower, until,
finally. II sank into the water, and he
was drowned.
A deckhand on the steamboat Tangier
saw the duck floating. with his head
submerged. yesterday, and picked him
victim with a relentless, deadly grasp,
and the tragedy that must have been
enacted as described was revealed. Both
the duck and the slayer were brought
to Baltimore recently on the TangIer,
and proved quite curiosity.

THREE OF A KIND.

Hence the Joke on Professor.

Here is a pretty good story on a popu-

with one of the students. had been con-
Quoting a meeting. and as they came
out Of the door a tramp came up. and
in an entreating tone asked for II cents
for lodging. says the General Manager.
mo: l won't give you 10 cents, be-
cause / believe you will spend 1t for
drink. but l will go with you and see
that you get bed"
So the trio started for the lodging
house, the tramp in the lead. They
went upstairs and were met by the
landlady. The Professor requested a
bed for his tramping friend and gave
the woman a quarter,
but this isn't enough" she said.
why. yes; lodging is only 10 cents.
isn't it?", replied the Professor. -,
YES; but there are three of you,"
answered the landlady.
This wouldn't have got out, but the
Professor, who likes a good story even
on himself, couldn't keep 1t any longer
and had to tell 1t.
