A Business MANS Kick AGnlhet Them ana
Against Feeling In General.
81 can't afford to give my wife q Christmas
present. said a business man last week, but
I have to shell out what would.buy her a pretty
good one to postmen and elevator boys. There
are eight elevator boys in the building where my
Office is. and at least three postmen bring mail
10 it. The latter doubtless expect 81 each. and
I can hardly give less than 81 to each Of tho ele-
vator boys. Now, considering that the entire
eleven only do for me what theysare paid to do.
$14 is rather a high tax for Il man of my in
come. Uncle Sans employees, too, ought to
be above being feed.
1.-THE chief fault I have to find with the i'm
ported practice of tipping. Of which this Christ
American scale Of wages and prices and not on
shave for 8 cents in q London barber shop Of the
better class, and a tip Of two cents, a penny, lie
considered amply sufficient. Here one not
only has to pay 10 cents In O shop Of the same
sort, but has to give 10 cents to the barber.
Now. as l cannot afford to pay rs cents. ] shave
myself. If 1t cost but 15 cents, j would prob
ably get shaved regularly by q barber. Now.
there are doubtless thousands of other men In Q
great city like this with the same reasons for
economy that I have, who feel as ! do. Bar
bers thus lose no end of custom through the
tipping in which they ostensibly get no share.
I'm the same way restaurants where the tips
are extravaganza lose custom. Men who are
willing to pay well for good food do not always
like to pay an extravagant commission. They
go to less fashionable places where the tip ante
is not 30 high"

Pui Into Print.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-For a dozen years or
more Capt. Howard F. Kennedy of New York
city. or Capt. Jake Kennedy, as he is better
known about the Capitol. has been a member
of the staff of authorized guides who conduct
visitors to the various points of interest about
the big marble building. Besides conducting
visitors about the Capitol. he has given lectures
illustrated by stereopticon views of the build
ing. Recently IL occurred to him that his pocu-
liar knowledge Of the home of the nations law
makers should be. put into book form, and he
has, with the assistance OF George Z. Hazel
ton, Jr., got out a volume entitled The Ma.
tional Capitol" 1t is not a guide book. but
ing into which he would go II he visited the
Capitol and presents to him pictures of the por.
traits and other paintings that adorn the walls
and of the architecture and furnishings OF the
various rooms and corridors described. Inter-
esting little places, like the robing room of tho
Supreme Court of the United States, of which
tho general public knows little or nothing. arcc
written about in detail. and many stories are
told about the rooms and the great men who
have occupied them. and The events of national
importa nee that have occurred In them in the
days gone by.
Every room In the Capitol Is thus described
and gossiped about, and in addition tho book
tells all about the early plans for the building of
the. Capitol: how II has grown into its present
proportlDns, and now 1t was burned by the Brit.
ish in 1914 and then rebuilt and added to and

Bat . Dark Fate Impending as . Consequence
OF Too Luxurious Fare.
A drug store on upper Broadway has a cat
that Is IN epicure. In fact, tine cat Is probably
moro fastidious in her tastes than most of the
customers who stop to admire her glossy coat
and musical purr. as she strolls among the bath
sponges and perfumery bottles.
1t came about In this way: The chef of q
well-known restaurant a few blocks distant
has long been in.the habit of dropping In at tho
drugstore on his way home from work early in
the morning. He became attached to the cat,
and soon began to bring her tidbIts from the
restaurant. As his attachment for the cat in.
creased, he became particular to bring only
choice bits for his pet. Grouse. woodcock,
and quail constitute a large, part OF the cats
fare at present. The night clerk soon began to
notice that The cat refused to touch such ordi-
nary food as turkey. beef, or mutton, 49,,
The question now arises whether the cat will
be able TO hold her snap. The delicate fare on
which she now lives has rendered her entirely
usele.s az n protection against rats and mice,
aud II is darkly limited that some day she may
be turned out 10 shift for herself, as a penalty
for her luxurious tastes.

can candidate for Coroner, 22S2 to the
Democrats and 694 to the Prohibitionists.
Thus it is seen that the total vote this
year does not aggregate the number OF
votes given last year to the Republican
electors. By the great stay-at-home vote
the Republicans this fall suffered most,
although the Democrats did not do much
better than get out half their vote of the
year ago. The Prohibition vote for Coro-
ner this year was 694 against 4S7 last year
for the electors.
In all the $3.50 votes only 20 were re-
jected, the most of these being mark ed
ballots. Three votes were cast for AS
sembly candidates not named on the bal
lots, and five votes were thrown away on
voting for outsiders for Coroner.

Antoine Pltzcavitch Again in Trouble.
Held to Keep the Peace.
Antoine Pitzcavitch, one of the three
Polanders, who figured in the mysterious
Wolskl drowning case last November, is
again i'll trouble and was given hearing
before Mayor Appelgate Thursday morn
ing.
Antoine was charged this time by Will
liam Itanner with bad threats, and at the
hearing Mr.. Lanner said he met Pitz-
cavitch Oh North Laurel street, when
Antoine called him bad names, and jump
ed at him, and with an outh struck at
him, saying ''Pll fix you, Pll fix you
sometime!" Lannes said he was afraid
OF Pitzcavith, he was afraid he might kill
him some time.
His testimony was ,corroborated by his
brother Edward Lanner, who also told of
the abuses of Pitzcavitch. a8.t
Lewis Horner, who happened to be 60
ing along the street, heard Pitzcavitch's
remarks to Lenner, and saw him jump
towards him to strike him.
Pitzcavitch was held in bail to keep the
peace. ~aE 0l.t

BAIL REDUCED.

Judge Hoagland on a Writ of Habeas
Corpus Reduces the Crowelps Bail.
-.Habeas corpus proceedings were en-
tered Tuesday against the excessive bail
that the Crowell brothers had been held
in by Justice Powell.
Judge Hoagland had granted the pro-
ceedings to Eugene Cole, the counsel for
the Tonger's Association, and his assist
ant, John S. Mitchell, and yesterday
afternoon argument was heard in the
Court House.
The Crowells, who were already under
$500 bail each fer longing oysters in
Fishing Creek, on alleged private
grounds of the Oronoken Oyster Com
pany, were held last Thursday in $1,000
bail on two charges, one for longing on
October 3Oth, and the other on November
Sd. This made in addition to their $500
bail the sum of $4,000 more. This being
considered excessive bail they could not
furnish it and had to go to Jail where they
stayed until yesterday.
Counsels Cole and Mitchell argued that
the bail for their appearance at Court was
excessive and the Judge thought so, too,
and reduced the bail to $500 on each
charge, making the four charges an ag-
gregate of 5000.
Bail was promptly furnished by Mr..
Schlllingsburg, prominent oyster
shipper at Greenwich piers.

FILLED IN THE WE'LL.
The First One Since the Board of Health's
Action in the Matter.

Action in the Matter.
The initial step in filling in wells where
they have been condemned by the Board
Health, was made Wednesday afternoon,
when the well at house on Mt. Vernon
street was filled in.
Health Inspector Charles E. Bellows
hired John Nolan to take wagon load
of dirt and cinders to the property on
Mt. Vernon street. Nolan had his load
on and started with it, but John did not
know exactly about taking the dirt and
filling in well.
In order that things would be all right,
the Health Inspector went along. Mat
ters began to look more serious, John
thought, as he saw Constable Cresswell
with the Health Inspector.
John made up his mind when they ar
rived at the house where the well was
that he would not fill in the we'll, so he
got the Inspector to dump the first bas-
ketful in the excavation, and then the
task of filling in began.
The tenant of the house did not seem to
like the way matters were going. but OF
course, let them go on. He said that it
deprived him of his drinking water.
But no matter the Board of Health had
the water analyzed, so to speak, and the
well must be filled.
Just what the outcome of this well
being filed in will be remains to be
seen, but it is not unlikely that it will
| cause trouble.

The Tomato Season.

The tomato packing season is closed.
For the past two weeks the crop seemed
to take spurt, and some of the factories
received quite supply, which the pack
ers were very glad to get. The farmers
were helped out considerably, because of
the fact that the frost held off. They con-
tracted to sell their goods much lower
than they could put them up, and agreed
to furnish many more than they were
able to. The jobbers are holding the
packers to their contracts. Some of the
others have not lost so much. The pros
poets are that canned goods will be CON
siderably higher during the coming win
ter.

Annie Pitzcavitch Said He Never Even

Edward Lennes was given a hearing
before Esquire Isaac T. Nichols, Tues.
day afternoon, on the charge of felon.
iously assaulting Annie Pitzcavitch, aged
fourteen years, on the oath of October
last.
Lannes was brought over from jail,
He was represented by J. Hampton
Fithian, Esq.
The Squire read the charge to Mr..
Lannes, and asked him if he was guilty
or not guilty.
"Not guilty." replied the accused.
Annie, who had arrived with her
mother, was called and sworn, said that
she was just cutting up with Lannes and
having some fun, and she just hollered.
"Did he lay his hand on you at all?''
asked the Justice. s.t
"No sir, he enever touched me-" answer
ed Annie with firm voice. 31-
Turning to Lennes, Justice Nichols
said: "You are discharged Edward, :"
and Edward left the court room smiling,
