STRIKERS DISaTIYED.
The Action OF the Mason Builders Has
Taken Them by Surprise.

The leaders of tho striking electrical workers
were without programme yesterday the posi-
tion taken by the Mason Builders Association
knocking all their plans endwise. This was be-
cause the strikers had been led TO believe, both
by the walking delegates and their own leaders.
that the mason builders would support their
claims, but now their last chance of assistance
has been cut off. Master Workman hoadley
made II dismal attempt at noon to rally the
strikers. He called them before him, and in a
speech calling on them to meet him at A. NJ
to-day he said:
From Information in the possession Of tho
Executive Committee II is determined that n de-
cisive line Of action shall he taken at that meet
ing, either for peace or war"
He then hinted TINT there were negotiations
Of the Electrical Contractors Association said,
however, that II HOadiey was holding out any
hopes OF arbitration he was only decciving the
strikers. One OF the contractors declared thut
the strike would probably destroy the Buard or
Walking Delegates.
All the EMPLOYERS arc thoroughly tired Of that
institution, which, II continued, would be "A per-
petual hindranCe TO the building industry. IL is

court and after a long wait Justice Taintor was
ready to listen to them. Ready said he had been
looking for the youth. but that he had gone
south. Then Miss Dalntry was asked why she
thought tho hall boy was the thief. She said he
had gone to her room TO make n fire, and that ho
was the only one she could suspect.
Justice TaintOr told the detective that he
could not issue q warrant. us there was not evil
dence enough To show that the hall boy had
stolen the jewery. He said his sudden disap-
pearnnce had nothing TO do with the case, as the
man might have gone South to visit friends.
At this Miss Dsintry said

to walk away. IL don't expect justice from YOU"

RIGHTS OF TRILBY.n
Du N7nurier Would Have . Lump Eunt
Royalties Would Have Paid Better.

George Du Maurier is said 20 10 working upon
nee novel. which is to be brought out in time
10 be carried into popularity by the success OF
"Trilby." Du Maurier is likely To receive more
than lie expected 20 get from the sale OF
"Trllby" In this country, although not SO much
as he might have gSt had he been nbie to fore
see the American success OF that book.
When he sold tho American rights TO the
work to Harper & Brothers he Insisted upon
having lump sum rather than a royalty upon
the sales and named $4,000 as his price. This
was paid to him. just how large the sale OF the
book has been no one outside OF the IlRr-
pers establishment knows. Tho anles were
announced from time to time by tho
Harp.rs until they reached 100000 copies
That was about two weeks before Christmas.
The sale of the book has gone right on ever
since then without any apparent slackening OF
the demand. As the book soils for from S1.T5
TO 81. rs a copy. and the usual royalty IL ten per
cent Of the retail! price. the royalties on lO0.0 900
copies would have come near to $4,000.
Resides these regular editions thcro wns spe-
cal edition OF 900 copies. which was made to
be sold at SO COPY. The whole OF this special
edition was bought by one firm.
Following their old custom, the Harpers have
decided to pay to Du Maurier voluntarily a per-
centage upon the sales OF the work since Christ
mas. No payments have been made upon this
account rs yet. but there Is reason TO believe
that Mr.. Du Maurier will get n handsome sum
