HE CARRIES 4 Gun.
but I'm the Future He VIII Not Let
the Police Know IL.

William Roach. stranger in the city.
received some kind treatment and advice
in Justice Austin's court yesterday after
noon. During the morning Roach was
reposing on a table in Il saloon on the
water front His chin was Testing in one
OF his hands and he was probably ngur
ing out how simple thing II would be for
him TO turn the tables on i highwayman
In case of an encounter. The handle of a
six-shooter, which was protruding from his
hip pocket. attracted the attention of De-
tectiye Williams. who gently interrupted
Roach and took him to the police station.
The prisoner pleaded 10 the court that he
had just arrived from logging camp, and
having some money in his pocket he car
ried the weapon for protection. The court
took a charitable view of the young mans
case and discharged him. with the advice
that he had better put his weapon away
until he made up his mind 10 return 10 the
logging camp.

Farmer PETERSOk'S WOES.
WABASH INCIDENT FURNISHING
FOOD ron GRAND JURY.
Peterson Was Not Only shot at.
but That His Barn and stock
Have Been Destroyed by Fire.

The superior court grand jury deliber-
ated all day yesterday behind closed
doors. The testimony given by the wit
nesses from Wabash on Thursday was.
it is said. more interesting than at first
supposed. ii Is expected that their report
10 Judge Benson on the troubles of p.
Peterson, which are now being iayesti
gated, viii cause mild sensation IN the
vicinity of Wabash. It seems that Peter
sons troubles did not end with the at
tempt William II. Asniield made 10 shoot
him. Since then he has been robbed OF
his cattle and farming tools on various
occasions and his barn has burned down
under peculiar circumstances, destroying
his stock Of hay, grain and farming tools.
All of which makes very interesting in
vestigation for the grand jarymen.
Ii is said that Peterson has been the
most interesting witness before the grand
jury. He explained his troubles in full
and without hesi:ancy. Ii is we'll known
that Peterson entered very strong objee-
tions against the petition of the prosecut-
ing attorney for the dismissal Of the case
against Ashfeld, Peterson claims that
Ashfield fired hve shots at him. although
his aim was 80 poor that Peterson was
not injured.
Another matter that vas called to the at
tenti0n OF the grand jury, II is said. was
that although AshfIeld was supposed to
pay all of the costs. the records show that
the $50 he paid into court did not satisfy
half OF the costs IL is said that the justice
court fees for the preliminary examination
were sal 80. officers fees SEQ, fees allow
Ell by the prosecuting attorney. Sl150. and
clerks fees. s4.s1 making total OF $50 TO-
ana balance of AI.i0 due from Ashaeld.
according 10 the agreement on which Tho
case was dismissed
From peterson's story OF his troubles
since the shooting il would seem that some
one has a grudge against him. Between
October - and November 1. 1897. some un-
known person got away with an entire set
of valuable grubbing tools and stole two
heifers. On the night Of December e his
barn burned down under very suspicious
circumstances. Peterson suffered severe
loss. Two horses and FIVE COWS burned
with the barn, as we'll as a set OF harness.
wagon, fifteen tons OF hay. Il quantity of
oats. plows and other farming implements
The fire occurred about midnight and the
flames were so far advanced when tie
farmer discovered them that nothing could
be saved. The origin OF this fire has never
been explained. although, it Is said. that
Petersoas friends have suspicious which
were coniided in the grand jury.

highly complimented by the Baltimore
Heptasophs. After the adjournment OF
the conclave refreshments were served
and the remainder of the night was spent
in social way. On Sunday morning
early the Wilmington brothers were
taken in special trolley cars to Fort Car
roll, where they enjoved fish and oyster
bake for breakfast, and the day was spent
in sightseeing. All returned home to
Wilmington voting Baltimore Hepta-
sophs as Al entertainers.
Friendship Conclave conferred three
degrees on four candidates and received
seven applications for membership on
the 2Sth ofthis month The anniversary
of the conclave will be celebrated by the
initiation of large number of candi-
dates; they already have fourteen cand-
dates and more to follow.
Delaware Conclave, No. 7, had an ap-
plication for membership at its last
meeting and elected one candidate.
Newark Conclaye, No. 6, has num-
Der of candidates for admission.
Brandywine Conclave, No. 4, has five
candidates to admit on October Goth, at
their hall, S29 Orange street. This order
is certainly taking in new members, and
this term will show that Heptasophs, or
S. w. NJ, are on the increase; surely
they have that life about their work
which means business. They pay two
hundred and fifty dollars death benefit,
also sick benefits. Dues to all are eight
dollars year and no assessments.

LOOsening the Hold.

''Some advertisers assert that if you
advertise steadily for some years you
can afford to stop and reap the benefit of
of your Advertising" said a we'll known
buyer of publicity to the Little School
master the other day; "but l tell you
this is gigantic mistake, as know to
my cost;
"For ten years / advertised persistent
ly one OF my proprietary articles, until
it was almost household word, and it's
sales were extensive. Thinking that
had secured for 1t a permanent popular
ity, | last year allowed the advertising
to die out gradually, and l used my an
maui appropriation to put upon the
market and boom another article, which
was in no sense rival.
'The result was curious, but not,
now think, unnatural. My 'well-known'
article gradually fell off in its sales, and
my receipts from it grew less and less.
The new article rapidly increased in pop
ularity, and before it had been adver.
tised three months its sales-at an equa
price-reached as much as the declining
article. Today it is selling fifty times
better than the old goods.
ut points a moral of this kind:
When you are doing we'll with ont
thing don't stop advertising it. If yor
want to put something else on the mar
ket do SO with an independent appropri
alton, but don't rob Peter to pay Paul ,ol
both time and money will be wasted

hours days is as follows: His firn have
found that instead Of the reduction be-
ing less from the apparently shorter
hours Of work 1t has, on the contrary,
gradually increased since 1901. Messrs.
Short took up the system in the belief
that they could get the same amount OF
work out OF their employees by better
method than that which then prevailed.
OF the men working on time wages Is
or 20 per cent. lost the first quarter Of
the day, while the piecemen scarcely
ever started before $50 under the old
method. The. men stated at 6 o'clock,
stopped at for half an hour for break.
fast, had another interval of an hour at
noon, and the days work was finished
at five. The conditions under which the
old system was carried out were such
that many workingmen were physically
incapable Of maintaining the long hours.
1t was, in point OF fact, then quite COM
mon for man with 24s a week to lose,
on an average, three.quarters per week
simply because he was unable to rise
every morning at o'clock and work full
time. Under the system which then

after the first quarter had been lost.
Under the forty.eight hours system the
men start-after breakfast.-at 7.30, and
go on with only one break until five
O'clock. and they are, on the authority Of
Mr.. J. Y. Short, able to do more work
this way than under the old system, and
at the same time more work is got out Of
the machines, the result Of the eight
hours system being an increased output
and decreased cost. Under the 50
hours the men did not average anything
like eight hours per day; indeed, some Of
them did not average five hours owing
to the time they lost. The men work
better and more hours Under the 46
hours system than under the other,
while the machinery is also kept run
ming more regularly, and for a greater
number of hours. So thoroughly do this
Sunderland firm believe in the eight
hours day and so satisfied are tney with
its working in their yard that-to use
Mr.. Shorts own expression-"they
would not 60 back to the old-fashioned
way" The seven years. experience, the
results of which have thus been indi-
Gated, is worthy of the consideration Of
all employers Of labor.
