Pilots Are on a Strike.

Pittsburg, Oct. 4.-The pilots en-
employed on the Monongahela and
Ohio rivers are virtually on a strike.
Several weeks ago they formulated a
scale of wages, and those idle are out
for the advance. Few are running.
The Ohio river pilots count for success
on the expected rise in the river next
month, and say if the scale price is
not granted not a boat will leave Pitts
burg for the south with coal. It is
thought that the operators will pay
the price as soon as there is a rise.
There are 2O,OOO,OOO bushels of coal
waiting shipment. It's movement de-
pends upon the pilots. Yesterday ar
ternoon the Pittsburg Coal Exchange
held a meeting to take action on the
pilots demands. 1t is said that a res
olution was adopted that it was the
sense of the meeting that the pilots
who were employed by certain firms be
not employed by others until the mat
ter was finally settled FOR years the
pilots running on Ohio river steamers
have been receiving $3.50 a trip to
Louisville, but now want 5000 a trip to
that point and $175 to Cincinnati.
which is $50 in advance of the old rate.
The pilots employed by the year ask
for $500 for service between Pittsburg
and Louisville and where a man Is
both master and pilot of a steamboat,
$2,4OO is asked Monongahela pilots

Is a Boys Hand Worth More
Than a Girls?

A New Jersey jury recently award
ed boy Is years old $4,000 for the loss
of his hand. Immediately afterward,
in the same Court, a girl of IA, who
had lost her hand, was awarded only
$4,000.
Both had lost their right hands,
both were MANNED for life, and both
We're compensated according to the
lights of 10 good men and true.
We fail to see, generally speaking,
why boys hand should be held at al
most double the value of the girls.
In this case bith alike were working in
order to live, and both were deprived
Of the power of earning a living in
their former capacities.
But was not the girl far more grew
iously injured? We think so.
There is an old truism that the hand
that rocks the cradle rules the world.
1t is no less true that woman depriv-
ed OF one CT her rocking" hands is
deprived of half her sovereignty.
A girls prospects for marrying well
for becoming a good wife, a good
housekeeper and good mother-are
what she is taught to depend upon
most for happiness in this world. De-
prlved Of these she has little left to
dream of or hope for.
Worklngmen in particular are not
looking for wives with only one arm.
They cannot cook or care for the child
rem or make beds or sew. Neither can
one-armed woman get a position on
which she can live decently unless she
be a woman whose mental attalnments
are high enough to be regarded as
marketable.
On the other hand, one-armed boy
can turn his solitary hand to many
things. If he can learn to write legib-
ly and with facility there are number
less positions which he may fill.
He may keep a store, drive bargains,
keep books, be a lawyer, a politician, a
Governor or a President, according to
his abilities
If woman who happens to be one
armed rescues herself from a lonely
old-maidenhOod she will prove an eX-
ception to the rule.
The little New Jersey girl was cheat
ed by that jury.-New York Journal.

How the Baroness

Dewey once attended a wedding
breakfast at which the affable Baron
ess de Struve, wife of the Russian
Minister at that time, was present
Dewey had met this famous woman
several times before. The facial plain
ness Of the Baroness was quite beyond
belief, but she was one OF the most
brilliant, loYable and kindly women
ever elected to guide the social affairs
of the diplomatic corps in Washington.
A lady who overheard it tells of an
amusing passage which the Baroness
and Dewey (who, if memory serves,
was then a Commander) had at this
particular wedding breakfast.
Referring to leather" said the Bar

Scrap Iron.

There has been an apparent scarcity
of pig iron in the market. In fact, the
scarcity may be real, though it will not
last for any great length of time. The
scarcity and the high prices bring into
the markets a substitute that cuts but
little figure when prices are abnormal
ly low, but plays no unimportant part
when prices are high and iron is
scarce.
Scrap-irOn is worn-out iron that ac-
cummulates not only about the plants
of great corporations, but in every
household, to a greater or less extent.
An old coal bucket, worn-out joint
of pipe, a stove cover, or the barrel of
an old heating stove amounts to moth
ing in a single home, but in millions
the aggregate is thousands and thous-
ands of tons. But when high grades
of pig iron would bring less than So a
ton in central markets, scrap iron had
but nominal value, as it was eXpend-
sive to gather, and, in addition, had to
pass through three or four hands be-
fore it finally reached the consumer.
Even then the waste made it worth
less than half the value of pig iron.
But now that pig iron has more than
doubled its value, the traders and
hucksters that pass from door to door
can afford to name a price and gather
up the waste of other years in the
shape of scrap iron. Tone and tons of
it will find a way to the market, to be
used again in the cupola or scrap fur
naces. In the end it will contribute
materially to make the scarcity of pig
iron less acute.-Cin. Com. Trib

his duty, aud so he rushed out and
nabbed Billiam and took him to a
phone box on the corner. Just as
they neared the corner dog catch
er's wagon drove up and the dog
which was with him and for which
he had been too stingy to buy a
license for, was spotted. This is
another instance that troubles
never comes singly, for a dog catch-
er jumped down and shared his
dog with a wire.
Billiam began to cry and impor-
tune him franticly not to take his
dog, but was only laughed and
jeered at by the man and the
crowd that had gathered to see the
arresting done. Although [ had
no love for the dog, because he
had freed me a couple Of times,
still l felt sorry for the old man
and told him not to worry as [
would go down to the dog pound
and revendicate it for him.
If [ had any grudge land [
think L had) against Billiam, it
all vanished in the heartfelt, pitt
Gus and thankful look he gave me
as the policeman led him away.
The strangest part Of the affair
came out in the Justices court
where it was found out that Bill
liam was doing nothing less than
stealing the store he was moving
and he was held to the grand jury
on a charge Of real shoplifting.
1t all came out in the criminal
court that things had been going
crossways with him; that his bust
ness had become dull and he had
gotten himself into debt by bad
venture and had to resort to des-
perate means to reimburse his
exchequer. He had friend that
was contractor and builder and
was in Strengthened circumstances

self.

These two got their heads to-
gether- you know when two
cranks get their befuddled gail
leries together, something is 90
ing to happen-so the upshot Of
their cogitations was that Billiam
was to carry away small empty
stores ana houses. The contractor
was to find buyers for them, in
small outlying towns around the
city. They had carried on very
lucrative business at it for several
months. But Billiam thought if
he could carry away empty ones
SO successfully, why not carry
away some loaded ones as we'll
when the owners were away on
picnic excursions or elsewhere?
The scheme was no sooner con-
ceived than he tried to put it into
execution.
He spotted nice little loaded
store on Halsted Street, and see.
ing the owner one dinner time.
put a sign in his window to the
effect that he would be absent all
afternoon, he had fastened home
and got out his moving truck.
He went down to the store that
afternoon, lacked the store up and
adjusted it upon his truck and ran
out in the middle of the street.
where as we have seen he was
having difficulty in turning down
the street, when he was placed
under arrest. There was nothing
for Billiam to do but plead guilty.
and his lawyer put up plea Of
imbecility for him. The Judge,
himself, thought that Billiam had
been actuated to commit the deed
through slight alteration in the
upper story, and after severely
reprimanding him, let him off
with a suspended sentence on &C.
count of it being his first appear
ance in the tolls of the law.
