COLLECTING CAR FARES IN GER
MANY,

| The chances of evading fares on the
slight. When a passenger steps on
car the conductor Immediately asks
his ticket, which serves also as a re-
| ceipt for the fare. The preparation of
a ticket consists only in detaching it
from block and punching it or mark
ing it with pencil. This process in
wolves much more work than the sim
pie process of ringing up the fares, as
conductors do in America; but the task
Is lightened by the fact that only GER
tain number of persons are permitted
to ride on a car at the same time. The
number of sitting and standing places
is plainly marked on each car If a car
is designed to carry thirty persons, no
more than thirty persons will be per-
mitted on that car at the same time.
When anything In Germany is forbid
den it is settled once for all
In order that every person who rides
shall get the prescribed ticket inspec-
tors are employed who spend their time
in ascertainng whether the conductors
are doing their duty. These inspectors
step into the cars and ask the passen-
gers for their tickets. They note the
number of the tickets and whether they
correspond with the stubs retained by
the conductor. The clerk who gives
out the blocks of tickets to the conduc-
tors notes the number of the uppermost
ticket and at the return of each block
collects from the conductor who re-
turned 1t as many fares as there are
tickets detached. The rate of fares va
ries from two and one-half cents to five,
according to the distance. Small chill
dren are carried for one-half fare, and
any one for the sum Of $3.50 may secure
a ticket which entities him to ride as
much as he wishes for one month.
When car is full the conductor dis
plays the word occupied. Chicago

FACTS ABOUT SARDINEs.
The Greater Part of This Country
Consumption Now Packed Here.

| The Greater Part of This Country 6
Consumption Now Packed Here.
Formerly the sardines consumed in
| this country were all imported from
| France: now about quarters of
| the sardines eaten in the United States
are put up here, the chief center of the
sardine industry in the United States
being the eastern coast of Maine,
though some sardines are now put up
on the coast of California The pack
ing of sardines in this country was be-
gun about thirty-five years ago
Thousands of people now find employ
ment in one part and another of the
work in catching fish, in making cans,
and in canning and packing and mar
keting and so on.
Sardines are put up in greater varie-
ty than formerly, there being nowadays
sardines packed in tomato sauce, sar-
dimes in mustard, spiced sardines, both
imported and domestic, are still put up
in oil. Sardines are pue up also in a
greater variety of packages than for
merly, there being, for example, vari-
Gus sizes and shapes of oval tins, and
some French sardnes are imported in
glass; but as the great bulk of all sar-
dimes are still put up in oil, so the great
bulk of them are still put up in the ia
miliar fiat boxes, the great majority of
these being of the sizes known as halves
and quarters, and far the greater num-
Der of these being in quarters Sar-
dimes are packed one hundred tins in
case, and the consumption of sardines
in this country is roughly estimated at
from 100000 to 100000 cases annually.
Like canned goods of every descrip-
ton, sardnes are cheaper now than
they formerly were, and American sar-
dimes are sold for less than the import
ed. American sardines are now export
ed from this country to the West In
dies and to South America.--New York

Tuskeegee Normal and Industrial
Institute Negroes Going to Az
rIca Under German Auspices.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 2O.--Booker T.
Washington, president of Tuskegee
normal and industrial institute for
ro~rocs. announces that officials of
the German government have closed
a contract with his school to furnish
students to introduce cotton raising
among the natives in the German col
ony on the west coast of Africa.
On November 3, party of students,
equipped with cotton plows, gins,
wagons and carpentary tools, will sail
from New York for the new fields.
The party will be under the leader
ship of j. N. Galloway, instructor in
the institute. The Germans will pay
all expenses of the expedition and a
good salary to each man.
The expedition is regarded as the
beginning of a formidable COMPETE
ton with America in the cotton rails
ing industry. German agents claim
that sections of their African colony
can produce, at small expense, quail
ity of cotton equal TO that raised in
the southern states of America.

NOT GETTING TOGETHER.
The Settlement of the Coal Miners
Strike Apparently as Far
OF as Ever.
THERE CAN Be NO PARTIAL RESUMPTION.
So Says President mitch elI-COndS-
lions Must be Such that All the
Men Can Return to WOrk-one
Firm that Has Not Even Promised
the Ten Per Cent. Raise.

Hazleton, Pa. Oct. 20.-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
practically admitted to a press rep
resentative that if every operator in
the region were to post notices sim
liar to those that are now being
tackled up by some of the mine own
ers. this action would in itself prob
ably not end the strike. He was asked
if all the companies were to post such
notices what his next step would be.
Al first he hesitated, and then re-
piled: "Under the conditions laid
down by the Scranton miners con-
vention there could be no partial re-
sumption of work."
President Mitchell Quoted.
When it was suggested that his re-
ply did not answer the question, he
said: "Well, all l viii say is that il
all the companies post notices it
would remove some of the obstacles
that now present themselves"
This is the first public statement
that Mr.. Mitchell has made bearing
on IL settlement of the contest since
the operators at Scranton took their
decided stand that the reduction of
powder price must be considered in
figuring out the advance in wages.
More Notices Posted.
Notices similar to those already
posted by individual operators in this
region have been issued by three
more companies. They were j. S.
Wentz g. Co., operating Silver Brook
Colliery; Dodson & Co., owners of
mines at Morea and Beaver Brook,
and the Mill Creek Coal Co., which
operates collieries at Buck Mountain
and New Boston, in Schuylkill county.
Tyler & McTurk. who operate wash
cry al Audenreid, employing about
fifty men, have posted notice giving
employees an increase in wages of ten
per cent.
FirmsThnt Haven't spoken.
The only large individual operators
in this region that have not posted
what is known as the second notice,
are Coke Bros. & Co.. G. b. Markle g.
Co., and the Lehigh d Wilkesbarre
Coal Co. There is much interest mani
tested here as to what steps, if any,
the Markle firm will take. This firm
is the only one in this region which
has not consented to give it's en-
ployes an increase Of any sort. The
members of the Arm maintain a strict
silence.
Mr.. Mitchell is said to be content
plating a trip to Scranton next week,
but for what purpose is not known.
