HUMAN NATURE.
Several Phases illustrated by an Incl
dent In an Iowa Town

Several Phases illustrated by an Incl.
dent In an Iowa Town.
From Council Bluffs, Iowa, comes a
story that illustrates several phases OF
human nature. In that city, the other
day, man who is very poor and who is
likely to remain so, owing to the fact that
an accident has deprived him of both his
arms, found a large roll of eenbacks.
The money lay in gutter and the finder
could almost hear it beg him to pick it up
This. on account of his misfortune, he
could not do, so he quietly kicked the
treasure into the shadow of building and
tried to think out safe method of trans
ferring it to his lamentably empty pocket
Possibly deduction as to Western
views regarding property rights might be
drawn by cynic from the circumstance
that the man does not seem to have
thought Of returning the money to its
owner, through the police or otherwise,
while he declared afterward that he did
not ask the assistance o. any one of sew
eral persons who passed by for fear lest
the stranger should rescue the money for
himself and not for the helpless discov.
erer. At last small bootblack sauntered
by. and the man concluded 10 take
chances. With fine pretense of having
just dropped the b lis. the man gruffiy or
dered the youngster TO assist him. The
boy comprehended the situation at a
glance, seized the little fortune, took to
his heels. and, easily dstanclng his angry
pursuer. vanished permanently from the
scene.-New York Times.

In his complaint Tuttle alleges that last

from contractors camp near by and was
in the habit of hanging round his place,

both of these had fallen from their high

as "The Goat and the Compasses," with q

Buildings.
The Boulevard Com mittee Conde mned
for Under payin for the Work
on the Road.

The committee appointed by the Build
ing Trades Council to investigate the
work being done on public buildings pre-
sented its report at last evenings meeting,
which in substance was as follows:
William Stiles OF the International
Bricklayers' Union, which is not affiliated
with the local union. has the brickwork
on the new Hall of Justice on Kearny
and Washington streets.
He will hire all of his bricklayers and
hodcarriers outside of the local unions.
visit was made upon Supervisor Shee-
han of the Public Buildings Committee.
He promised TO do all in his power to
have the contractors on.the Hall OF Justice
hire union men.
Secretary Smith OF .he Rae Building
and Contracting Company at work on the
Affiliated Colleges and Mission High
School, explained that he had no desire
to dispose of the union men; in fact, he
preferred their services, but circumstances
and friends mad compelled him TO take on
non-union laborers to run wheel Darrows.
He desires, however, to have all union
men in his employ.
The committee saw Chairman Burns OF
the Buildings and Grounds Committee of
the Board of Education in regard to the
High School job. He promised to do all
IN his power to straighten out any diff
culuies between the union and the con-
tractors and to see that the men work only
eight hours a day.
The committee, with a member of the
Marble-cutters' and Finishers' Union,
called upon the Supervisors relative 10 the
matter Of the mai BILE work in the City

The meeting was verv unsatisfactory, as
the City Hall Commissioners state that
they are satisfied with the reports of the
superintendent and architect, and advised

Municipal Time at Glasgow.

One OF the most interesting of Glasgow
enterprises is what may be described as
municipal time for the entire city. Some
years ago the experiment was tried Of
placing municipal clocks in prominent
positions all over Glasgow aud regulating
them by synchronization. The present
scheme is much more elaborate, and is
nothing less than the establishment of a
system of standard time by means of
electrically controlled clocks regulated
every second from the stellar clock at the
observatory. A regulating clock, dl-
rectly controlled from the observatory,
has been placed in the city chambers, and
this in turn controls three circuits of pub
lie clocks at various points in the city. In
the meantime, only about ozen clocks
have been provided; but if the trial proves
successful the corporation intends TO erect
from 200 10 800 eighteen-inch dials, thus
providing reliable system of standard
time for all parts of the city. This extern
sion of the circuit will involve the laying
of sixty-one miles OF wire. 1t is hoped.

BROKE UP IN
A BIC ROW
Mrs. Cohen's Penny Pur-
chasing Clubs Suddenly
Suspend.
A Number of Angry Investors
Threaten to Do Her
Bodily Harm.
The Meeting Adjourned by Squad
of Police Turning off All of
the Lights

There was lively row in the Zinkand
building last evening, caused by the fail
ure OF Mrs. Cohen's Penny Purchasing
Club.
Nearly 500 irate women and a dozen
men had possession of the premises, and
Mrs. Cohen would no doubt have Jared
badly had not Sergeant James Donovan
and squad of officers arrived on the
scene. The lights on the second floor
were put out and the angry investors were
driven to the sidewalk.
Mrs. Cohen's plan of operation was sim
liar to that of like institutions. Drawings
were held in seven clubs of 100 mem bers
each every Saturday night, and the lucky
ones secured the $25 cards or tickets. All
OF the others paid at the rate of penny
for each number of the ticket drawn.
Many we're out $25 and $50. The lucky
winners were given orders for goods to
the value of $25
few days ago Mrs. Cohen sent out
notices to her 700 patrons who live in San
Francisco, Oakland and Alameda, notify
ing them that there was no more money
in the fund, and if they would meet her
ments to reimburse all who were out of
pocket.
They were all present, and as the meet
ing progressed matters became decidedly
tropical. until it was necessary to call the
police.
Many of the most angry women wanted
a chance to do Mrs. Cohen bodily harm,
and then it was that the police ad djourned
the meeting by turning off the lights and
running the investors into the street.
Mrs. Cohen did not dare to face the
crowd, SO with the aid of special police
man she escaped into Stevenson street.
The watchman took her into the base
ment and got her out on the back street
by way of the sidewalk elevator.
1t was not until the crowd OIL Market
street heard of her escape that it dis
persed.
Before doing so a committee of five was
appointed to hire a hall when plans for
future action will be discussed. The meet
ing will be held on Monday evening.

ing the eight-hour law on all work on
public buildings. This ended the report.
A resolution was passed by the council
condemning the boulevard committee for
compelling the unemployed to labor for a
dollar day.
The reason given was that such an
action would reduce the standard OF all
labor and lower the already too low rate
OF wages. Several delegates asserted that
the boulevard will be of no use to any but
the wealthy, who can ride thereon. The
work to be done should be performed In
the public parks, where the iaboring classes
would receive the benefit.
