Washington, April s.-The pictur-

of all ages, sizes and colors in the
large terraced grounds back of the

QUAY APPEALS FOR ORDER.

coded to be an able business man,
no one would suppose that he could
distinguish man on telegraph
wire by a mere touch-so to speak
and that, too, when less than half q
dozen words were sent. Mr.. Young
has charge of large force of men
and when they desire to get off they
send him a message to the capitol
or call him up on a wire and talk to
him personally and make their desire
known.
One of his men called for him on
the wire the other day from VI
town and asked: "Can l get off to-
night?'
Eyes, you're excused" responded
Mr.. Young.
The man walked down the avenue
as far as Fourteenth street, when sud
denly the fact dawned on him thai
he had neglected to state who he
was, and he went back to set the
matter straight.
Again calling up the capitol, hi
asked Mr.. Young: Say, how die
you know who asked to get off?'
"Oh," came the response, "it''
b, isn't it?"
"Yes."

Old-tme operators considered this
remarkable, in view of the fact that
only five words were sent. Things OF
this sort have been done when long
er conversation ensued, or the char
acter of the mans sending was better
gagged by long talk.
The doorkeepers at the house say
that Amos Cummings, of New York. is
the most popular man in that body
and that statesman Sulzer, of the sams
state, is the next man on the list.
When one of them was asked how
he came to this conclusion he said:
Because so many people call fol

Company is Willing to Do for Its
Employees,

New York, April s.-Neither en-
ployers nor employed have made de-
cisive movements in the wage dis
pute that may terminate with n strike
on the Central railroad of New Jer-
sey. 1t is expected that the men will
confer within the next "a hours, and
by vote agree upon plan of action.
1t is difficult to take the measure OF
the sentiment of the moving army of
men that n railway system employs,
but as far as it can be sounded on
the Central, the men seemed moved
by spirit of conservatism, and to
be inclined to refrain from striking
until every resource of conference
and arbitration has been exhausted.
