George w. Holderman, superintendent of
the fire alarm telegraph system, yesterday
made his annual report to the Board of Pub
lie Safety. He made recommendations for
the Improvement and betterment CT the sys-
tenn. There are now 145 miles of aerial wires
on eight circuits. The entire system is oper-
ated through a ten-circuit repeater by a
gravity battery of AS cells. He recommends
that the department be equipped with two
ten-circuit repeaters to take the place of the
present apparatus, so that the present eight
circuits may be doubled. The present cir
cults are too large. he says. and when any
of them are disabled by storms too much
territory is left unprotected.

tate of her husband, Albert j. Brooks, yes

u. 1897, was struck by a street car and so
badly injured that he died. The accident
happened on the Irvington line, near the
Belt railway crossing The plaintiff says
her husband was driving. and it was so
dark that it was impossible to trace the
course of the track. The plaintiff charges
that the car was running behind time at
the rate of eighteen miles an hour, and that
the motorman made no attempt to stop the
car until he was within twenty feet of her
husband.

Claims to be Blacklisted.

Joseph Throm. an Indianapolis meat
dealer, has sued Nelson Morris & Co.,
beef and pork packers. for ST. damages,
alleging that his business and his credit
have been injured by malicious acts of the
defendants. The suit is brought in the SUI
perior Court. The plaintiff AYERS that in
October, 1897, he purchased a quantity of
beef from the defeNiants and had them
keep it in cold storage for him until he was
ready to remove it to his place of business.
In order to be able to identity the meat,
Throm placed mark on it when he made
the purchase. Oct. 4, he claims, he ordered
part of the purchase delivered to him, and
AYERS that the meat received was in an un-
wholesome condition. The defendants re-
fused to take it back, and a few days later
delivered the remainder of his purchase. he
says this delivery was also in spoiled con-
dition, and the stencil arising from 1t was
almost unbearable. He declined to pay for
the meat and according to his complaint,
the defendants threatened to destroy his
credit with other wholesale meat dealers of
the city by placing him on the &c. o. d.
list" This list the plaintiff AYERS contains
the names Of dealers who cannot be trusted
in a financial way. The plaintiff charges
that the defendants have put him in bad
repute with wholesale dealers so that he is
unable to purchase his meat as he was
formerly able to do, and must put up the
cash when he places his orders.

The Cmcinl Time.

The necessity that there shall
be only one man who "has the
say" in military command is
thoroughly recognized in the
United States army. A story is
told of General Shafter, COM
mander of the American eXpedi-
tionary force for the invasion of
Cuba, which illustrates the pune
tilio of the regulars in this re-
gard.
At a certain frontier post, at
which Shafter, who then held an
inferior rank, was commander
many years ago, a discussion
arose among several officers as to
the exact time of day. A captain,
with his watch in his hand, said!
at is now exactly 3 o'clock"
"Oh, no." said a lieutenant, "by
my time it's 8 minutes past B."
A third officer drew his watch
out of his pocket. al know my
time is exactly right" he said,
land my watch says 2 minutes
past g."
At this juncture Mapor Shat.
ter looked at his silver watch.
81 don't know what your
watches say" he remarked, "bu7
l wish you to understand that in
this command it is . minutes
past g."
Then the young officer remeln-
bered that the authority of the
commanding officer extended
even to the time of day.

Yerdi,s "House OF Repose.v

The blouse of Repose for Mu'
sicians," founded by Signor Yer
di, is now almost finished. 1t is
nearly three years since the first
stone was laid. 1t is situated in
the Piazza Hichelangelo, Buon-
arroti, outside Porta Magenta,
Milan.
No exterior sign shows that
the house is Verdi's work, and he
ordered the architect, Bolto, to
avoid all external pomp, while
preserving an elegant simplicity,
Inside it is far grander than out
side. 1t is designated to house
one hundred musicians-siXty
men and forty women-during
the last years of their lives. There
is a central hall for meetings
and concerts, two open terraces,
an oratory and an infrmary.
Verdi wished that the house
should not bear his name, but the
Milan people already call it Casa
Verdi."-London Daily News.

Kissing means different things,

the natives hiss when they are
astonished; in the New Hebrides
when they see anything beautiful.
The Basutos applaud a popular

show their reverence by a hiss,
which has probably somewhat
the force of the "hush" With

weeks amid rural sights and
sounds on DR.. G. o. Sahler's
farm, near Kyserike, Ulster coun-
ty, he created quite breeze of
excitement among the persons
along the road. and had to stop
many times to explain what he
was doing. The idea of sending
bees to the country for the bene-
fit of their health is full of novel
ty to the average man, who has
come to regard Il bee as the most
cranky and pestiferous thing
alive.
Yet, as Mr.. Snyder explains,
there is an excellent reason for
taking the bees to the country,
and it is really no more remark
able than taking cows to pasture.
The principle is in the main the
same, although by moving the
bees, even more is accomplished,
for the color and quality of the
honey they make is thus con
trolled. 1t is a fact well known
to bee fanciers that bees will on
ly go about three miles from the
flowers. Another fact equally
well known is that there is in
buckwheat blossoms a larger
amount of honey than in any 9th
err flower that grows in any guam
tity. This honey, although dark
in color, has very agreeable
flavor and is preferred to any
other.
Buckwheat is not very plenti
full within three miles OF Mr.. Sny-
ders apiary and therefore he is
moving 100 hives of bees to
location in the country where
they can find plenty of it. Half
of these bees are taken to Kyser-
ike, and the other half to a place
about two miles north of Stone
Ridge. When the buckwheat has
died off, the bees will be brought
back to their home in Kingston.
Mr.. Snyder has kept bees for
twenty-five years and has made u
study of their habits which fits
him tc care. for them with the re-
quired profit. When asked if his
bees would not get lost taking
them into a strange country, he
said: "No, there is no danger of
that, if the hives are always
moved while the bees are in them.
But if, while the bees are out in
the fields gathering sweets, the
hlVe is moved, they VIII return
straight to the place where the
hive was and cluster there. A
bee returns on a route straight
as bee line to the place it
starts from, and as the queen bee
remains in the hive, the bees go
right on making honey in this
hive, according to their nature"
1t is said that the idea of NOV.
ing bees to pasture is carried on
to a large extent along the Mis-
sissippi, where the hives are
taken from place to place down or
up stream on fiat boats, that an
Choir during the day ard are
moved on at night while the bees
are all in the hives, thus Keeping
them in fresh pasture all of the
time.

rne First strike.

september D may not have been
the day set aside by the laborers
OF Pharaoh's time, and there may
not have been organized trade
unions in those days, 1850 b. c.,
but Pharaoh found the work in
his Temple of Thebcs effectually
delayed by a strike and as serious
a situation to face as ever a New
England manufacturer had to
confront.
The temple that was to astound
the world and stand as monu-
ment to Egypts greatest king
was under way. Its graceful out
lines were well defined, even it's
gorgeous interior decorations
were begun, the alabaster walls,
inlaid with jewels representing
the fairest flowers on the banks
of the Nile, were nearing perfec-
ton. The masons whose magic
hands were erecting this archi-
tectural wonder received little
cash, but large supplies Of food
the first of every month. These
supplies were to last them
whole month. But even thirty
three centuries ago things went
wrong in the cOmmissary depart
ment and contractors grew rich.
Time after time the food gave
out before the month had passed
and the builders suffered. But
once when the supply lasted only
two weeks the proverbial worm
doubled in it's tracks and
the oppressed in its wrath.
The contractor, like all
his kind, was obdurate. He de-
clared the men had wantonly
wasted their rations and should
have no more.
The body of workmen marched
to the contractors house and
squatted at his palace gate and
vowed they would stay there till
they had justice. They spoiled
the view, their nose disturbed the
contractor, and he weakened
When he offered to compromise
by laying the matter before Phar-
.aoh the mob knew that victory
was theirs. They grasped the
fact as fully in those days as now,
that when a contractor yields an
inch the King of Labor can sweep
him mile.
Pharaoh wanted his temple.
The bagatelle of a few million
sacks of corn was nothing to him.
Pharaoh ordered the request of
the workmen granted, and all
went well for a time. But the
same thing occurred next month.
The men encouraged by their pre-
vious successes, struck again.
They would have been the delight
of New Bedford mill hands, and
would have aroused the envy of
New York cloakmakers. But
again they were victorious, and
the big granaries had to he
drawn upon before they would
resume the work that was to be
Egypt's pride.
So from the beginning success
has perched upon the banner of
the strikers. =
