Economy.

All men are not economists. We do
not assume to be. But it is generally
said by men Of experience that in run
ming corporations, especially in respect
to salaries, that true economy suggests
the employment of men who can con-
tribute most to the successful working of
the enterprise and for as small salary as
it is possible to procure their services.
a sagacious man i'll charge of an enter
prise would hardly look to see whether
a man whose ability he was seeking to
secure had OF not other sources of reve-
nue., or whether he was bestowing por-
ton of his skill or care upon the work
of others. lf'he obtained the services
he contracted for whether they were the
best for the highest price, medium for
medium price, or the most invaluable
for the lowest price, he would only look
to see whether he got the services con-
tracted for and whether they were
worth the salary he was paying; and he
would be most likely to complain that
he did not get quid pro quo on the
lowest salary. This would be the case
if he was running concern on business
principles. But if he was running a
large corporation, plethoric with money
and wanted to bestow it as favors or
gratuities he would very naturally en-
quire as to the necessities of the recipi-
ent of his bounty; and if he found that
he had other employment from which he
received large sums his necessities would
be less and so his benefactor would be
naturally inclined to give him less COM
pensation for the services which he was
permitting him to do for the corpora
ton as favor. If a manager of such
LAWYER. for instance, he would be very
likely to regard it as true economy to
employ one who was doing the most
business for others and receiving per-
haps the largest income. If the board of
managers discovered that a salaried
officer was receiving money as favor or
bounty they would treat it accordingly ;
but if they found that he was rendering
services of peculiar value, the question
would not be whether Or not he ought to
have large salary, but are his services
worth the salary, and do the necessities

The idea Of a union of the young peo-
pies societies connected with the Ver-
mont churches in the twentieth century
originated with Prof. Kitchin of the

most satisfactory results. The last day
of this year and the first and second
days of the coming new year have been
fixed upon for this great convention,
which is to take the place Of the regular

at $500, has been allowed to roam about
the fields and marshes of Bergen Beach

missing. Fitz tramped over every road
in the neighborhood looking for the an

that had him. The police We're notined

Mulberry street, but still no pony.
Thursday morning of this week Fitz
received word that the pony was IN
barn in Brownsville. Matt Dooley, F1tz's
trainer, was sent cut to see If the report
was true, and found that Adam was IN
barn belonging to Newbold Bros, pro-
duce merchants, at 483 East New York
avenue. Dooley claimed the property,
and agreed to pay all expenses, but de-

heard about the lawyers fees, and he
started at a rapid gait for Brownsville
Dooley accompanied him, and the New

they would have to pay their lawyer out

started at once for their attorneys Of

gone Fitz became more impatient. His
patience gave out and he walked over
to the barn wherein his pony was sta

opening, led his pony out and started
for the beach.
He now has the pony, but has not vet

COOLEY WAS IN THIS.
He Balks Mcfarland and Then Drives
in the Winning Run.
TFrom the Philadelphia inquirer

IF'rom the Philadelphia Inquirer.1
Whether Dick Cooley believes in the
I'M Christian-l like sentiment that Re
venge is sweet" is not generally known,
but presumably there is enough of the
old Adam in him to enable him to enjoy
the chance which came his way yester-
day afternoon, to throw the harpoOn in
to his one-time side partners. 1t came
in the tenth inning. The score was a tie.
Two of the Pittsburgers had been re-
tired, and Wagner was on first. The
latter started for second, where he
should have been retired Just as Nc
Farland started to throw the ball, Coo
ley deliberately and with malice afore-
thought held his bat straight out, and
baked Mcfarland, Wagner reaching
the base in safety. OF course, Delahan-
ty raised a merry pow-wow with Hurst.
but the latter did not see it; and if he
had. the chances are that he would not
have given Cooley out for there is al
ways room for a legitimate doubt as to
whether. the balk was Intentional or not.
Cooley then caught one straight on the
pickle and sent it sailing in safety
against the right field wall, and before
Flick could relay it to the infield Wag-
ner had scored and Cooley himself was
on second. This won the game, for in
the Philies' half of the tenth the side
went out in order.

Emporia, June S.-Frank Booth has
been arrested at Hartford for stealing
feathers. His partner. J. L. Adley' Is
now in the Emporia jail, charged with
the same thing. He was arrested at
Neosho Falls.
These men went to Hartford and did
good business renovating feather beds
The people supposed that they were
honest and did not pay much attention
to the weight of the beds when theS
were returned. When the men were
ready to leave the town it was found
they had 400 pounds Of good feathers at
the depot to ship away. As they had
brought no feathers with them ana
bought none, the citizens began to Won
der. It is conceded that there We're al
together $500 worth OF feathers taken
from the people Of the vicinity. MI
Booth put up a $500 bond and left town
1t is supposed that these men have been
doing this work all over Kansas, and
that they have made considerable mon
ey. The beds from which the feathers
were taken have been found filled with
all kinds of rubbish and many people
have had to burn them.
