New York. Aug. 4.--Hsnas Hauser,
treasurer Of the Herald Square theatsr,
in this city. Jumped from the middle
span Of the Brooklyn bridge at
O'Clock last evening. He struck the
water Just astern Of ferrybOat. A
passenger sprang overheard and seized
Hauser as he reappeared to the sur
face. He was lifted aboard, taken to
shore and sent to the hospital. Ho is
uninjured.
When asked why he made the jump
he said 1t was because he was drunk
en- fool. He insisted that he had had
no trouble Of any source, either in his
family or financially. Finally he
jokingly remarked: That's what
Coney Island booze does for fellow"
One story, which Hauser confirmed,
was to the effect that little girl on
her way back from Coney Island COM
menced to interrogate her father con-
corning the big bridge Just about the
time they reached the Brooklyn end.
The child, perhaps Z or 8 years of age,
finally inquired whether any one had
ever jumped from the bridge. The
parent replied in the affirmative and
attempted to induce his daughter to
keep still. Seated just back of the
man and the little girl. SO the story
runs, was Mr.. Hauser. Suddenly, and
without warning, the child began
again, and broke out with the remark:
Say, papa, would like to see some
body jump off,"
well. l am afraid you won't get
your wish today" replied her father.
Wont she?" came voice In reply.
"I'll jump for the little girl"
Then Mr.. Hauser sprang up from his
seat and dropped from the car into the
roadway with an agility that surprised
the spectators. Quickly he climbed
high up on the rail, waved his hand
toward the people on the car, then
sprang into the air. and went down

FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1900.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has
taken a long step on the road that
leads toward industrial peace. 1t
has established a system of retire.
ment and pensions, not built upon
sums compulsorily held out from
the wages Of its employees, but paid
for by the company itself. 1t is es-
tlmated that the expense to the cor
poration will be about 100000 a
year.
Every employee who has served
for thirty years, or who has reached
the age of seventy, is to be retired
on a pension, the allowances to be
based upon length Of service and
the average wages received by the
pensioner during his working ca
reer.
The cost of this arrangement to
the Pennsylvania Railroad will be
trifling in comparison With the bene-
fits the corporation will receive from
the plan. If the scheme is carried
out in good faith every employee
will gain interest in his work. His
position will become a property,
like an insurance policy, which will
increase in value from year to year.
The company will be insured against
frivolous strikes. 1t will know that
nothing except serious grievances
can induce its men to risk their
places, and if strike is threatened
it will know that some substantial
wrong has been committed which
ought to be redressed.
On their side, the men will have
a sense Of security that is seldom
felt in this era of unbridled compe-
tition, on the principle of every one
for himself. They will feel reason
ably certain of holding their places
as long as they are able to work.
and of enjoying peaceful old age
afterward.
The Pennsylvania managers are
wise in their generation. They
have adopted the only course that
offers any hope of delaying the APP
proach OF public ownership of rail-
roads.
