A BAD PAIR.
Two Hardened Young Polish Fellows Who

TWO Hardened Young Polish Fellows Who
Deserve Punishment.
Yesterday afternoon a farmer named
Samuel Wetzel, while walking along West
Coal street, suddenly cried out "Stop
thief P' and gave chase to two
rapidly disappearing young men.
Peter Lutwn, one of them, was run down.
He proved to be one of the two worthies
who were arrested on the goth inst. for
robbing Main street clothing and boot
and shoe dealers and VINO escaped from
the lookup by tearing up the planking of
their cell, crawling into an open cell and
thence through a window from the
corridor of the lookup.
The second fugitive managed to get
away, bus was followed to VIM. Penn,
where he lives. There he made such a
fight that it was necessary to knock him
down with club to get him into custody.
He proved to be Joe Pickalosky, alias
"Smithy," Lutwin's boon companion.
The pair had stolen pair of gloves from
the farmer who had given the alarm.
While they were in Justice Williams
Office the Justice observed that Lutwin
was wearing pair of extra large gloves.
Samuel Block was sent for and he identi-
fed the gloves. Lutwin then admitted
that he and "Smithy" stole them from
Blocks store on New Years Eve.
Lutwin and Pickalosky were committed
for trial on the four charges Of larceny
aud one of Jail breaking resting against
them.

THEY WON TIE RAISE.
The Directors Were Satisfied That Their
Claim Was Just.

Once when the miners of Il big anthra-
cite mining company were DESTROYS of
receiving increased pay an effort was
made to induce the local officials in the
mining country to mako such repre-
sensations to the president of the COM
pany as would produce the desired eff
feet. This was unavailing, however, and
efforts in other directions were tried,
until the directors offered to meet Il
delegation of the miners i'll New York
city and discuss the situation. A dozen
of the brawniest miners in the region
We're selected as dele gatcs-great rugged
men, who would certainly make ia
yorable impression. The men met the
officials and stated their case, which
was that at the prevailing rate of wages
they could hardl., get enough to eat.
The matter was held under advise
ment, and the conference adjourned to
luncheon. Then came the most amazing
display of appetites that has ever been
seen before or since, and the colorcd
walters turned pale as they saw II dish
intended for the entire party retained
by one man, who speedily made away
with the contents. Each man seemed as
ravenous as though he had not eaten for
a week, and the caterer was at his wits
ends to provide for them all.
At last, when every portion had been
eaten and all seemed inclined for more,
a giant whose native place was South
Wales cried out Don't you worry
about no more fancy things Bring us
cheese, and We'll make out all right. !"
A cheese was procured, and the directors
gazed with awe AS it speedily disap-
peared. AS the last crumbs We're diSap-
pearing the officials held hurried con-
sultation, and after awhile the president
announced: Gentlemen, we have decid-
ed to concede your claims to an advance
of 10 per cont, for we are certain that
at present you can scarcely get enough
to eat. Nothing but this plcasurable
meeting could SO fully have convinced
us of your needs " The delegates have
not yet wearied of telling of the amaz-
ing display of gluttony which they al

purpose of creating the impression that
it produced. Philadelphia Inquirer.

Tardy Praise For Boswell.

The London Standard showed a be-
coming respect for letters by devoting a
"leader" the other day to the memory
of Boswell, whose death took place a
century ago. 1t makes perhaps more of
a tragedy of his end than the facts quite
Justify, but it does recognize his place
in literature, which after all is the es-
scntial. His follies were not greater
than Goldsmith S, and yet the world by
a silly trick went on shifting at BOZ
~" for generations. That nonsense is
happily now about dead We are begin
ming to speak fittingly of one of the
greatest writers in literature Boswell
is to all other biographers what Shake
speare is to other poets. Lockhart s
Life of Scott" is admirable, but it has
only to be compared to the Life of
johnson" to show Boswell S superiority
Is it not time that the great biographer
had his own life worthily written?-St

THEATER CURTAINS.
Costly Draperics That Are Used In Some Of
the London Theatcrs.

Few have any idea of the money
spent by the managers Of London thea
tiers i'll procuring the curtain which
hides the stage from public view, re-
marked a well known theatrical fur
nisher to II reporter. Take, for instance,
the glorious curtain at Sir Henry Irv-
ing's thcator, the Lyccum. That cur
tain, if it cost penny, cost at least
1000 guineas. l am told that LOCO
yards of beautiful blood red plush We're
used to make it complete, and for it Sir
Henry Irving is indebted to the Baron
ess Burdctt Coutts, who some years ago
generously made him present of tie
curtain as a tribute to his artistic gen
Jus.
A very expensive curtain is that used
at the Prince of Wales theater, Coven-
try street, now occupied by Mr.. Arthur
Roberts. Its cost was about 5000. 1t is
made of boiler plato, is entirely fire
proof and weighs no less than six tons
No fire can get from the stage to the
auditorium or vice versa, as the top and
bottom of the curtain respectively rest
against and upon Il solid wall of brick
work. l believe this, as we'll as other
curtains Of the same kind, was the in
vention of MIR. G. !. Phipps, the theat-
rical architect.
Perhaps the most beautiful theatcr
curtain i'll London-whcre the finest
curtains in the world arc to be seen-
are those at the Lyceum, to which l
have referred, the Palace Thoatcr Of
Varieties, and the Savoy. Tho Palace
curtain is a real work Of art, and Mr..
D'Oyly Carte must havo lavishcd %
small fortune upon its make. 1t is a
beautiful dream Of gold and various 9TH
er colored silks, and something like 600
square yards Of silk were used in it's
manufacture. | ;,ln told that the director
of the Paris Opera was almost thunder
struck Whe,l, during MIR, Curte's produc-
ton of ''Iv"uh,e,' he saw the curtain
for the first t.i4o.
The Savoy cUttH2n u!Ji5t have cost
$500 if Il ltlny, its material being Of
the finest gid plush. Another expen-
sive curtain was that bought by Mr..
Charles WynGhaln for the Criterion. 1t
cost over el20, being mado by Maple
Most of the other London houses, and
probably all the country theatcrs, con
tent themselves with the old fashioned
curtain Of canvas, sometimes with a
scene and sometimes with imitation cur
tains painted upon it. Tho cost Of these
varies of course, and may run from ego
to 1900, according to tho amount of
work put into them and the artist en-
gagged to paint the scene-London Tit

PRINTING BY TELEGRAPH.
An Electrical Typewriter That Transm
Printed Characters.

An Electrical Typewriter That Transmits
Printed Characters.
The printing telegraph, though do
vice of comparatively recent develop
ment, has been the subject of ceaseless
investigation, and practical workers in
electricity have directed their whole at
tentiOn i'll some instances to the trans
mission of messages and the recording
If them i'll plain Roman characters.
Its advantages are simply those of an
electrical typewriter, by means of which
the message is printed in the presence
of the transmitting operator in page
form, and duplicate of the same print
cd at all the receiving stations on the
line, whether it be IA long or short cir
cult. A single transmission prints it
simultaneously i'll page form ready for
the compositor's case i'll all the news
paper offices of many cities.
1t is said to differ materially from all
other known means of telegraphy in one
essential particular. In it the impulses
move the instruments, whereas in other
systems the Instruments move the I'M
pulse-that is to say, the transmitter of
the message is caused to run by II sepa-
rate power. No combination of cleo
trlcal impulse or currents is employed
An even succession of dots or impulses,
which operate the polarized relay arma-
%lre at the receiving station, places the
revolving type wheel in the required
position, when the local mechanism
causes the letter to be printed.
The apparent impossibility of trans
uniting printed characters 500 or 1000
miles over u single Wire at once presents
itself to the mind, and it is overcome in
this system, it is asserted, in Il very
simple way. Each letter of the alphabet
is represented by certain number Of
impulses, which revolve the type wheel
to the required position, when the let
ters are struck by the local mallet
Fourteen impulses represent the en-
tire alphabet, making Il complete rovolu-
ton of the type wheel, which may be
turned 200 revolutions per minute, thus
securing very rapid printing. Its advan-
tage also is that Of absolute secrecy as
means Of communication. The advan-
tage of the printing telegraph for the
transmission of news to the newspaper
offices is unquestionably II subject COM

gressive proprietors. Paper and Press.

FORTUNE IN BLACK DIAMONDS.
Value OF the Thousands of Tons of Coal at
Perth and South Amboy.

Thousands of tons of coal are shipped
from the ports of Perth and South Am
boy, at the mouth of the Raritan river,
every month. 1t is loaded in vessels for
all points along the Atlantic seaboard
and many European ports The coal
docks of the Lehigh Valley railroad at
Perth Amboy are among the largest III
the world. Tho docks of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad at South Amboy arc
nearly as large in shipping capacity.
In connection with the handling Of
such immense quantities of coal one of
the most troublesome problems for the
railroad companies is to keep their roll
ing stock i'll constant motion. 1t is con-
sidered a loss of revenue for car to re-
main several days at given point, and
everything is done to facilitate the rapid
movement Of the cars, both loaded and
empty. For number of years loaded
cars were kept standing in the storage
yards of the Pennsylvania railroad at
South Amboy for weeks at q time At
times the company was embarrassed for
want OF cars to transport the coal from
the mines. The difficulty was finally
solved about three years ago In place
of the long string of loaded cars may
now be seen immense piles of coal
When II train arrives from the mines,
the various kinds of coal are sorted out
and the cars drilled to the proper side
track for unloading. In close proximity
to each side track stands large derrick
with a movable boom extending diagon-
ally into the air about so feet To this
boom is attached a large travelling belt,
on which are fastened large buckets. The
belt is operated by II small steam engine
i'll charge of the man who manipulates
the elevator. As the coal drops from the
outlet i'll the Car it falls into the buckets
on the elevator belt and is carried to the
end Of the swinging boom, where it is
dropped i'll the confer of the pile and dis
tributed by gravity. The coal remains in
these piles until it is required for ship
ment; then it is loaded in cars and trans
ferred to the decks.
The immense piles of coal usually
contain from 10,000 to IL, 900 tons each,
and are worth from $40, 900 to $50, 900,
according to the market value of the
coal. 1t is frequently the case that there
are II Of these piles of coal in the stor-
age yard, representing value of from
$500, 600 to 5000, 900. 1t was discovered
recently that the coal rustcd while i'll
these piles. This did not detract from
the burning qualities, but affected the
selling value. TO prevent this canvas
covers We're made at IL cost of 81 900
each. When the piles of coal are all
covered, the storage yard resembles D
large circus. The sight of such an i'm
mense quantity of coal is viewed with
establishment by strangers, although the
residents of South Amboy are SO accus-
toned to it that they never give it sec.
ond thought. New York Telegram.
