Passengers coming from the

hold their noses while coming
along the street where the hog

nuisance as a sinking hog-pen
should be tolerated in town like
Point Pleasant, is past belief.

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Recently there appeared in Pitts
burg. man giving his name as r.
@. Lucus, accompanied by wom-
an calling herself May Anderson,
who attempted to dispose of count
erfeit B. & o. Mileage Books.
They did succeed in selling some
to the brokers, and then departed
for Cleveland, and they registered
at the American House as r. c..
Lucus and wife.
In their efforts to dispose of the
spurious tickets, they aroused sus-
picions, which were at once COM
municated to the B. & o. Agent,
who Immediately took such action
as led to the arrest and conviction
of the woman, who was found gull
ty of selling counterfeit tickets,
and sentenced to six months in
the work house, and to pay a fine
of $500 and costs.
The man succeed in making his
escape, but as he is known to the
railroad people and the police, his
arrest is only a question of time.
The B. & o. officials have taken
every precaution to prevent the
sale or use of these spurious tickets,
and have expressed a determine
ton to prosecute to the fullest ex-
tent of the law anyone caught at
tempting to use counterfeit mile
age or other bogus forms of trans
portation, and will be especially
vigorous against brokers found of
fering them for srle.

KIN Them on Sight.

dogs running around without tag
or collar. The owners of these
dogs have had ample notice and
plenty of time in which to pay
their dog tax and secure collar
for them. The Mayors order to
the police should be carried out.
Kill the dogs and save our citizens
from injury.

which has grown few days longer
than sixty days to the remarkable
height of thirteen feet nine inches.

The Work of sleuth- Hound Un

May Win Fame.

There is bard needed in this city, a
bard to sing the song of the telephone
girl, and he has as good groundwork on
which to base his verse as did Tom Hood
in his famous "Song OF the Shirt" Not
long ago The CALL directed the attention
OF the public to the abuses of this system
as it is now conducted and has been for
some time past. and the state OF affairs
which prevails to-day Is as bad as.ever.
Since the publication of those articles,
which gave in detail the evils attendant
upon the party-line system and the way
the operators are overworked and lnsulted
by petty managers. the company has been
industriously at work trying to find out
from whom the information ca me in ord er
that he or she might be dismissed from
its employ. Their private detective was
sent about and is still pursuing his weary
way, reminding the observer of Pope's
comments on a certain class of poetry,
(which, like a wounded snake, did drag
its slow length along

he perspired freely in vain attempt to
discover who put the public on" AS
many of the existing evils are so plain
that even the manager and other ofhclals
ought TO see them without the aid OF a
''sleuth- hound" it looks suspiciously as
if ne were acting under instruction.
Mr.. Sa bin, the president of The corpora
ton is now in the East He is commonly
believed to be man opposed to notoriety
and very Ienient in his dealing with en-
ployes. II this be so some of the late in
novations call pretty loudly for his merci-
ful presence. Not long ago change was
made in the time the operators at the
main office on Bush street work. By the
change some girls were favored and the
burdens the rest have to bear materially
increased.
Lately certain OF the operators, who
have Deen with the company longest, go
to work at I, others al 8 and still others
a in the morning. They quit at 4, 5 and
6 O'clock respectively. The rest of the day
operators are required to begin their work
at 7:30 A. N. They quit at noon and are
they come back and work until 9 80 P. NJ.
That intermission breaks the day up and
literally makes the operators work good
while in the day and a good While in the
evening. 1t causes discomfort all around,
but the com pany doesn't worry bit over
that.
The phonograph evil still sends ghostiy
voices to wall along the lines. The
Romeos and Juliets of the ''party-llne
habit" still prevent busy men from trans
acting their affairs; the girls are stlll
overworked. And that i why some lard
has a chance TO make himself famous.
