THE OUT TO DINNER MAN.
He Knows Why He Is Invited and Thinks
He Pays His Way.

He Knows Why He Is Invited and Thinks
He Pays His Way.
Mo- said the slightly cynical
bachelor, Its not because 1 am
tremendously popular that 1 get in
v%itations, and l don't consider it
such an honor to be invited to dine
somewhere every night in the week,
with half a dozen or more invitations
a week to spare. Why in the world
do you suppose they invite me?
Well, I'm a good deal like the fellow
who is taken on a ship and made to
work his passage. He pays for his
voyage with work. l work my pas
sage at the dinners. Oh, yes, l do.
There's no use in being vain about
these things. You see, I'm not mar
ried, and there's always some young
woman, Or old woman for that mat
ter, who has to be taken care of.
Now, a married man is at a discount
at a dinner. OF course he takes a
woman out to dinner, but some man
has to be provided for his wife.
I'm just useful at a dinner, and
that's why l get invited. I'm not
good looking, and l never said a
bright thing in my life, but l can
talk a streak of stuff and nonsense
that is necessary to keep a dinner
going. I'm good natured and anna
bic. l like everybody, and so 1 get
along comfortably with my neigh
bors. In a mild sort of a way, I sup
pose, l am amusing. And then I'm
a good Laughter. l laugh at all the
good things that are said and at
many of them that n not so good.
I get in my own little jokes when
the time comes, and so we row along
through the dinner, l working my
passage and my hostess smiling ap-
prevail on me.
"Oh, no. It's not a bit damaging
to my vanity. ! simply know it's so
and accept it cheerfully. I can't
dance for shucks, so I'm of no earth
ly use at a dance. If / were a good
dancer, Id probably come in for all
that too. My strong point is a din
ner, and so I'm wanted there, and
not at q dance. 1t doesn't wound my
vanity a bit. l enjoy the dinner.
Having a lot of pretty women around
the table and listening to them and
talking to them is lots more fun than
sitting alone in a club, with only a
lot of ghostlike walters to amuse
you. It's a perfectly fair bargain. I
talk and am sweet tempered for my
ferriage, and l get on the ferry a
good dinner and enjoyable surround
ings. That's all there is to it, and as
for the honor of the thing and all
that, there's no more honor in my
being invited to dine out every even
ing than there would be in going out
to fiddle for a party at a regular
price. l talk and get my dinner and
pleasant company. The other man
gets his IS or $40, or whatever the
price is, and fiddles. New York

KEEPING TAB ON WATCHMEN.
Means by which They Are Prevented
From Sleeping While on Duty.

Means by Which They Are Prevented
From Sleeping While OF Duty.
A night Waterman in Brooklyn, es-
pecially in one of the great stores or
buildings, has small chance of enjoy
ing gentle slumber while he is on
duty. Even if he does give way to
drowsiness he is apt to be rudely
awakened before he has had time to
get his eyes fairly closed, and this
awakening is done by the American
District Telegraph company.
The system employed is simple,
but effective. In each building of a
subscriber are placed calls, connected
with tickers in the district office of
the company. To reach the calls sue
cessively the Waterman has to tray
erse the whole building from top to
bottom. There is a schedule made
out for him, showing the time at
which he must pull each call. If he
fails to do SO at the appointed time,
he will % be asked for an explana-
ton. For instance, in one of the large
dry goods houses there is a station,
as the calls are named, in the de-
livery DON in the ~subbasement.
Here the signal must be turned in
for the first time at 7 p. m. At 7:02
p. m. a call must be sent in from
the soda water fountain on the main
floor, at 7:04 from the front of the
main floor, and so on signals must
be turned in at intervals of two min
utes until the Waterman has gone
all over the store. Then at 8 O'Clock
he begins again and keeps up his
rounds until 6 o'clock in the morn
ing.
At the telegraph Office account is
kept of the signals. Each station has
a number. When the signal comes
in, a bell rings the number, and Mt
the same time it is recorded on a
tape. The operator first marks on
the tape the exact time of the signal,
and then or a sheet of paper pre-
pared for that purpose makes a rec
ord of the signal. On this same pa
per is printed the number of stations
the subscriber has and the time
when the signal should be received.
If the signal does not come in within
a short time of the hour and minute
set for it, a man is sent Immediately
to the building to find what the mat
ter is, and the next morning a report
is sent to the main Office and to the
subscriber, saying that the watch
man failed to turn in a certain signal
the night before and giving the
watchman's excuse for his failure to
do SO. BY this system it is almost
impossible for anything to happen in
a building without the company
knowing it in a very short time.
Brooklyn is a quiet town and a Sc
date one, and the men have a habit
of crossing the bridge of an evening
and launching forth into the pleas
ures of the metropolis, leaving their
wives to take care of the houses.
Now, to help these wives in hours of
need, the company has a system of
calls by which a policeman, the fam
lily physician or a carriage can be
obtained in a short time. The sub
scriber leaves at the office the adj
dress of the family physician. When
he is wanted, the lever of the call
box is pulled three times, and a man
is sent out for him Immediately from
the district Office. If he can't be
found, the people are notified of the
fact N York Sun.

DR. WERKLE's POPULARITY
Enth usiastio Reception to Hungary's Ex-
PrninIer nt Bnda Pesth.


BuDA PRsTH, June 2.-Dr Werkle and
the other members of the retiring Hun
garian ministry returned from Vienna at
O'Clock Inst night aud were received by
the people With an enthusiasm resembling
that displayed during the recent cere-
monies in the honor of Louis Kossuth.
Placards had been posted to announce to
the citizens the time at which the former
ministers would arrive, and fully 10000
persons gathered in the vicinity Of the
station when the train reached the city.
All the Liberal members of the Hun
garian house of representatives were gath
cred on the platform, and were the first TO
greet DR.. Werkle and his party. Car
riages were in waiting, and the party
started toward the Liberal club.
The carriages proceeded amid contin-
nous shouting and cheering but the peo-
pie still blocked the road, and the speed
made was so slow that DIR. Werkle was
taken In charge by the police, who forced
passage through the crowd and con-
Quoted him to another carriage, in which
he was driven rapidly to the club There
fresh ovation awaited him. A number
of ladies stood at the entrance of the
building and showered flowers upon him
as he entered and n crowd of students
carrying flags greeted him with songs
and cheers.
Later on Dr. Werkle, replying to con-
Rratulations upon the attitude he had as
bumed, made brief address, explaining
the reasons for his resignation. He as
sured his hearers that the civil marriage
bill in all its essential particulars would
ultimately become law. This statement
was received with enthusiastic cheering.

New YORK, June 2.-Bradstreets' trade
review says: The decidedly unfavorable
condition of general trade reported last
week continues without material improve
mcnt. Continued delay of tariff legisla-
tion prolongs the sitting effect on whole
sale business. The great coal strike con-
tinues without a sign of early improve
mcnt, no concession having been made by
either side, More mills, factories and
furnaces have closed their doors for want
of fuel. The pig iron industry of the CEN
tral western states is practically at
standStill for want of soft coal or coke.
AT Pittsburg and vicinity the scarcity of
fuel has greatly stagnated business. There
are no new labor strikes Of importance TO
record but almost all of those previously
reported are in existence.
The favorable features come from Du-
luth, Omaha Augusta, Ga, and Jackson
vile. Stimulation of trade at the Lake
Superior port is largely due to the rapid
shipments of bituminous coal which had
been accumulated, while needed rains
throughout Nebraska have improved hat
states crop prospects and caused more
active purchases from Omaha iobbers.
Augusta, Ga, reports gain in the vol
ume of business as compared with the
last three weeks, and that cotton manu-
facturers have orders ahead and are rum
ming on full time, while needed rains
throughout the Florida vegetable dis
tricts have stimulated demand, SO that
jacksonville trade is brisk. At most
western cities there has been practically
no change from the depression of last
week.
r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: 1t is n sign of cheering import
that in finished business, represented by
clearings and railway tonnage, there has
been less decrease since the strike began
than might have been expected. But in
inchoate business the orders which start
