GOULD MATCHES POOR.
Jurymen Try to Light Some of the
Millionaire's Lucifers and Fail

New York, Jan. 12-The spectacle of
twelve good and true jurymen trying to
light matches made in Edwin Gould S
big match factory at Passaic, N. J., was
witnessed in the court of common pleas
in Paterson yesterday. The efforts to
light the matches convulsed the court
room.
William R. SWEET, a discharged en-
ploye, sued the company for wages al
legged to be due on contract. The COM
pany claimed SWEET was discharged for
1ncompetency, and said large mum berS
of the matches he tipped with sulphur
were sent back by customers, entailing
a heavy loss. SWEET declared that the
matches that had been returned were
bad because they were the products of
experiments which had been made in
the heat of the summer, during which
time, he said, it is impossible to make
good matches.
Some of the matches were produced
and each juryman was given several
to try. They scratched away at a great
rate for a time, endeavoring to light
the matches, but none would ignite. The
spectators Uttered audibly, the court
smiled broadly behind his hand. and
finally the humor of the situa ton
struck everybody so forcibly that a
roar went through the court room, and
the court joined heartily in the merri-
ment.
The jury disagreed and was dis
charged

VROOMAN'S BREAKFAST.
Two Handouts of Wheat "On the Run"
Regular Thing.

Carl Vrooman, one of the now famous
Vrooman brothers, whose presence in
the city was mentioned yesterday, four
years ago was in attendance at Wash
burn college with his brother Hiram
Vrooman.
They roomed at a house where sever
al students had quarters in the Martin
and Dennis addition which had been
dubbed THE Roost'' There were sew
eral students rooming there and a jolly
time was had. Carl was given to being
quite lively, while his brother Hiram
was tall and dignified. The two broth
ers were hard working students and
often burned the midnight oil They
were naturally sleepy in the morning
and often lay in bed until almost time
for their first recitations at the col
lege.
OF course there was no time to lose
then, and so they would each grab two
handfuls of wheat from the sack which
they kept in their room especially for
this purpose, and start for the college
on a run, eating the wheat as they
went.
Many a time the Vrooman brothers
made their breakfast on nothing but
wheat grains while running to their
morning recitation. The boys used to
tease them about it, but Carl would re-
ply to them: Its healthy, and 1 guess
it's good for the teeth

MAI. M,KINLEY,S IDEA.
Applicants for Postmaster Must Have
Congressman's Endorsement

New York, Jan. ia Washington
dispatch to The Sun says:
An old friend of Major Mckinley, to
whom he is under many obligations.
went to him the other day with an ap-
plication for the postoffice in his town,
which is a rather important one, and
pays a salary of 50, 500. Major Mckinley
told him he would like to give him the
office, but could not do so without the
Endorsement of the member of congress
from his district, and he gave his friend
a note to the congressman which read:
Il have known Mr.. Blank for years
and am under many obligations to him.
shall be glad to appoint him to the
Office he seeks, provided il meets with
your views and you are willing to rec
ommend him.
When he got this note the member of
congress said: Il am sorry you did not
come to me earlier, for only yesterday
I promised to recommend somebody
elSe''
He then wrote Major Mckinley a note
to that effect, adding that if the major
desired to appoint the man without his
recommendation he should make no
complaint. But Mr.. Mckinley refused
to do so. He told the applicant to go
back to his congressman and see if
they could not arrange to give the other
man something else.
