A STORY OF MILK.

MT. Nathan Straus of New York city has been placed in a peculiar po sit;on. For several years he has been doing much for the poor of his city in the direction of providing cheap coal, ice and pure milk. His distri- button of milk has been a blessing for the miserable children who other wise would be compelled to feed up on milk of an inferior quality. Re gently the milk inspector discovered at one of the Straus distributing points twenty quarts of milk that were not up to the standard. AS a re- suit the philanthropist and a woman in his employ were arrested and have been declared technically guilty of violating the milk ordinance. Sen tence has been suspended and it is scarcely probable that any punish ment will be inflicted.
 In spite of the annoying experience MT. Straus will continue to distribute his sterilized milk for the benefit of several hundred babies who have
 been using it.
 Of course the owner of the under grade milk was guilty of violating the ordinance and MT. Straus was the
 owner. Therefore he was called tc

The fact that the bourses of the continent are losing confidence in Spain is suggestive. It cannot be separated from the concern incident to the Spanish situation felt by the continental countries. Possibly the financiers, through their influence with the governments of Paris, Ber- lin and even Vienna, have convinced the whole financial fabric of those capitals that it will be better for the securities of Spain if the United States or any other willing nation will interfere to help the Madrid au- thc-ities out of their quandary.

STREET CAR CONDUCTORS.
They Work Harder and Rate Lower Thar
Their Steam Road Brothers.

They Work Harder and Rate Lower Than
Their Steam Road Brothers.
You often think it's hard for the pas
senger conductor Of an accommodation
train which stops at two or three sta
lions to the mile to tell who has paid
his fare and who has not. The conduct
or Of a short run accommodation train
especially must be peculiarly gifted
man. He must be at once both cool
headed and even tempered, or if not be
is total failure.
But If the requisites Of railroad
conductor are such, what are the re-
quirements of the man who runs COM
mon street car? Why, as much as those
Of the railroad man and several times
more. The railroad accommodation con-
ductor on one of the short run trains
which leave the big cities has little
more work, little more responsibility
and requires less real skill than the man
who by grace is called conductor" on
trolley car Of one of our cities.
Both men, of course, have thousands
Of cares. The railroad man hes q certain
number of stops to make and a certain
schedule time allowed for getting over
his run of the railroad. The street car
conductor has an uncertain number Of
stops to make, yet he still has his Ger
tain scheduled time to make on his run,
and he must make it, too, or be able to
give an "a No. 1" excuse for failure.
The railroad conductor is always the
biggest man on his train. Is ever the
street car conductor the biggest, unless
every passenger is off and the motorman
also2 These things make it hard for the
patient man, who must be polite and
who is expected by the company for
wh..h he works and spurred on by a
dozen or SO sharp eyed "spotters, or
"street car detectives" as they call
themselves, to feel as lovely as spring
morning, and they make his already
nervous work doubly SO. The railroad
conductor doesn't meet that phase OF
existence once in decade, or if 80 not
any oftener.
No one presumes to expect so much
from the knight Of the ticket punch as
he does from the knight Of the trolley
rope. Every one who travels on street
cars expects the conductor to know
every cross street on his line and just
where it strikes that street, and, in.
deed, he should know this much, but in
addition he is expected to know every
one who lives on the streets along
which his line runs, every one who
lives on all the countless streets which
Cross the route of his car and then all
the immediate streets and their inhabit-
ants the whole length Of his line. The
street car conductor is expected to be
porter as we'll on his car. He must help
people on and off, lift up and lift
down huge baskets and bundles, never
get tired of all the questions which
only the city directory could answer,
and then, in addition, keep all of the
strict rules of the company for which
he works and see to it that all Of his
passengers do so too. For this work he
gets 90 or g. 25 day, while the rail
road conductor, who is very king in
comparison, draws his S. or Sc per day,
or 1926 month, and is not classed as
''social suspect either. Pittsburg

him understand that she wanted him to
70 with her, and Nosey, not being
bad fellow at heart, only little loud
mouthed at times, took Aunt John by
the arm and walked with her to the
tenement.
On cot under the window lay the
kid. His wan hands were crossed over
his breast and between his finger tips
was faded daguerreotype, which the
old woman tenderly removed and hand
ed to Nosey. The newsboy saw the pic
ture of a fair haired boy, with wide
open eyes, and he looked at the child
on the bed. The likeness between the
two was startling enough to impress
even the unimpressionable Nosey, but,
Of course, the daguerreotype was that
of another boy, for on the back was
pasted a slip of paper on which was
written: my darling boy. John, died
July 8, 1853, aged years and
months, the day his father was killed
at Gettysburg.
When Nosey looked again he realized
that the kid whom he thought to be
asleep, so peaceful was the smile on his
parted lips, was dead. Aunt John was
on her knees alongside Of the cot, with
her withered hand resting inert on the
floor and her living arm thrown over
the CORPSE, while the faded picture was
pressed to her lips. She got up after
awhile and made Nosey understand that
she wanted an undertaken. So he went
out to get one and incidentally to relate
his experiences to his fellows, who i'm
mediately made up purse OF SLAB,
which four Of them took to Aunt John,
telling her in their rough way that 1t
was to buy 4wreat' Of flowers fur the
kid" She took the money and, greatly
to the surprise Of the donors, patted
each one Of them on the-head.
On the Sunday following-this was
on Friday-there was funeral from
the top floor Of the tenement, and when
the undertaker's assistant carried out
the slender coffin he saw daguerreo-
type tied ON the lid with bit Of Irvine,
and the old woman told him she want
ed it buried with the body. Her old
heart was broken. and the remainder OF
other and happier days must be laid
away with the memory. And the I'M
dertaker did as she wished, and heaped
the clods on the coffin and the picture
Aunt John was never seen at the
bridge again. She disappeared as sud
