DID NOT LIKE THE WORK.
Why a Force of Carpenters Mt Fort
Myer Struck Yesterday.


All the carpenters except three In the
employ of Mr. James H. Grant, contractor
for the erection of several of the largest
buildings now in course of construction at
Fort Myer, Va, struck yesterday because
they thought they were being treated I'M
fairly by Mr.. Grant. During the afternoon
they were paid off, and their places will be
filled by other carpenters, provided Mr..
Grant is able to secure them.
Thirty-five men were involved in the
strike. All are regarded as excellent me-
ctanics, and most of them had been en-
ployed on the work since it was begun, last
spring.
According to their statements, the men
who struck were in charge of Foreman Nc
Gee and they had just completed the roofing
of one of the buildings. This part of the
construction is the most unpleasant at the
fort, the wind at nearly all times blowing
quite violently, and they were looking for
ward with pleasure to finishing the interior
wood work of the structure Instead how
ever. of being allowed to do So MIR. MCGEE
vas ordered by Contractor Grant to take
his men to another building and put the
re of on that, while at the same time an
other foreman was given the work which
Mr. MCGEE and his men considered they had
right to do.
Mr.. MCGEE objected to the transfer on the
ground that such a course was not in &C
cordance with either custom or justice, and
refused TO comply with Mr.. Grants order.
In this he was sustained by his men, and
as the contractor refused to rescind his
action, all threw down their tools and re-
fused to continue on the job.
Contractor Grant followed this up by de-
claring that he did n6I want any of them
In his employ longer, and paid them off, as
stated.
Contractor Grant To-Day, said that the
strike of yesterday lasted about four hours
and that he has supplied the places of the
strikers with new me9,s and that the work
was going on the same asrpsuaL

A Ray of Hope Ahead.

From the Chicl:.) Record.
Nine. Janauschek has just given utterance
to q bitter blast against the degeneracy of
the Stage. She sees that tragedy is no lon
ger in demand. and in this fact she recog-
niZes the hopeless decay of the drama. She
ought to find some consolation in the cir
cumstance that about 80 per cent of the
shows on the read this year are playing to
losing business. 1t is our opinion that dra-
matte enterprises will keep IN failing until
prices CT admission to performances are re-
duced to a reasonable figure. The public
has properly wearied of paying extortionate
prices for the wretched rot now passing for
dra mates.

questions were asked the lad as to him.
self and family. The replies told the
boys life, how the death Of his parents
had brought poverty to himself and his
brothers and sisters.
"This 10 the QUEEN" said the gentle
man, who was none other than Prince
Albert, land the other young man to
whom you administered such a merited
whipping is the Prince of Wales"
Turning to the prince, he continued:
You must send this young man to
school and pay for his tuition out Of
your own pocket money. That cannot
add to your punishment, but can bene-
fit this poor lad with whom you picked
such an uncalled for quarrel"
Thus 1t was that Tom" Benton met
the queen of England. He was sent to
u school about midway between Port
land and Dover. After completing his
studies there he was taken into her ma
jesty's service and remained there his
entire life. Between Benton and the
Prince of Wales there was a strong
bond of friendship, such as could exist
between a true and manly man and
the future King of England.

THEY MISSED EACH OTHER.
This Il What Comes OF Having More
Than Ono Elevator In Q Building.

|
A well-dressed woman walked into
the Crooker building yesterday after
| noon and took an elevator. Her hus-
band saw her from across the street.
and hurrying over took the next elva-
tor. He went the office where he
knew his wife had business, and found
that she had stepped in and out again,
and went down IN the next elevator.
| In the meantime his wife had gone
down, and the elevator dispatcher said:
Your husband just went UP In the
elevator. I think he Is looking for
YOU"
The lady took the next elevator up.
Just then her husband came down. He
looked all around, and then inquired of
| the elevator man:
Have you seen my wife here?"
Yes; she just went up this minute. "
The man took the next elevator. and
he was no more than out OF sight till
his wife came down again.
Your husband has just gone up
again." said the elevator man.
Il guess he'll wait for me this time,
so I'll go up," and up she went
Down came her husband second al
! terward.
Did my wife come down again? he
inquired.
Yes; and just went up again. She
thought you would wait for her.
He waited for about five minutes and
We'll, will wait for and catch him
then, growing impatient, took an ele-
vator upstairs. She had been waiting
! for him and came down again just as
he appeared.
| Well, will wait for and catch him
this time," she said.
After standing in the corridor several
minutes she decided to go upstairs and
find him. AS she whisked out of sight
he stepped out Of another elevator.
Your wife has just gone up, said
the elevator man.
The husband swore little under his
breath and started to leave the build
ing. At the door he hesitated, changed
his mind and took the next elevator up.
Down came his wife at the same mo-
ment.
Hes just gone up again." was the
elevator mans answer to her weary
look of inquiry. "and he's mad as a
hornet"
"Then I had better go right up and
catch him." she said.
Up she went and down he came.
Just went up" remarked the eleva-
tor man.
I'm blanked If I'm going up again."
said he. I'll wait right here" and he
sat down on the stairs. Half an hour
later he was till sitting there, anu his
wife equally determined, was waiting
for him upstairs.
II hope they'll meet in heaven" re-
marked the elevator man.

WOMEN AS FINANCIERS.
Making Records for Themselves In r.
sponsiblc EmplOymcnts.

Making Records for Themselves In Re
sponsiblc Employmcnts.
From the New York Sun.
Women have now invaded so many
departments Of business life and are
occupying successfully so many places
of Importance in all manner of indus
tries and enterprises that one is hardly
surprised at hearing Of their achieve
ments in any direction. But II the
average man might suppose that there
was yet one department Of commercial
activity which woman has not pros
pected 1t is most likely he would think
1t was that of finance and the manage
ment of financial institutions. Woman
is usually credited by man with being
somewhat weak in this direction. But
that Is only one other Of mans mis-
takes about woman. In the forthcOm-
ing report to congress OF the comptroller
of the currency there will be a chapter
on woman's interest and activity in fin
ancial affairs that will greatly surprise
many people. 1t will show that there
are several able women bank presi-
dents in this country, a large number Of
women directors of financial institu-
tions, q very large number of women
employed in subordinate places In such
institutions and q surprising number
of women who own stock In banks and
take lively interest in their affairs.
The west as usual makes the greatest
showing in this matter, as In most
others concerning the ascendency Of
women. Several national banks In the
west have women presidents. and many
others have women occupying places of
trust and great responsibility. All over
the country there are financial institu-
tions of one kind and another that num-
ber women on the board of directors.
The comptroller's statistics will not be
made public in detail for some weeks
yet, and some notable facts and figures
are given in recent reports In what
ever places Of trust women have so far
been employed they have shown them
selves particularly shrewd and alto
gether discreet and trustworthy. They
are proof against most of the tempta-
tions that cause men to fall from grace
when entrusted with the handling of
other peoples money, and have proved
conscientious and faithful.
According to the comptroller's last re-
port 967 women were then employed in
national and state banks, but since that
time the number has been very largely
increased. At that time, 1,733.772
shares Of stock in national banks, rep
resenting value of $130,6S1, ,492, were
owned by 70,67 women. OF state bank
shares women owned 4S1 .09S, represent
ing $3S,074.712 which were in the hands
of %, ,146 individual holders Estimating
the average dividends from this stock

try draw about SO, ,O00, 900 year In in

One day while Benton was gathering
shells on the beach'at Brighton to make
pin-cushions, which he sold to the sum-

with vigorous kick the accumulated
shells Benton gathered IN his treas

pile. warned the intruder that II he re-
peated the trick he would give him a

The kick was repeated with even
more vigor than before and the shells
were sent flying In every direction. True
to his word, the poor boy" soundly

tions are about 20 to Is per cent. less
than for the same period last year and
thus both figures go to prove hard times,
because 1t is the observation of the ex. ].
perienced men in the sheriff's Office that
personal executions fall of In hard
times and are more numerous in good
times.
1.-THE reason of this Is that in hard
times low stocks are carried by busi-
ness men, the rent and wages are often
in arrears and the latter, being pre-
cution, often cut out the pursuing cred
itor altogether. This goes to make
creditors more merciful In hard times.
