Manager Fred zweifel of "The Belle
of New York" which will he here
Friday night, was for some years per-
sonal representative for the late
Charles Hoyt at Hoyt's theater, New
York, and was very close to the
playwright; so intimate, in fact, that
Mr.. Hoyt in his will, left MI. zwel-
fel $1,000.
"Mr. Hoyt," said the manager Of
The Belle Of New York" the other
day, was possessed of dry wit that
was very entertaining-if you were
not the recipient. One day about two
years ago a certain New York man
ager happened to stroll into the Office,
and Mr.. Hoyt, after a short talk on
some matter of business. asked him
If he would share his (Hoyt's) box at
the Knickerbocker that evening.
What's ON there tonightT asked
the manager.
NAT Goodwin replied Hoyt.
Goodwin, ehY said the manager.
We'll, | don't care to see him. don't
like him a Bit
"'Don't like him, eh?' returned
Hoyt cheerfully. Well, you'll like
him in this play, In fact, you mustn't
miss 1t. He's playing Nathan Hale
and he gets hanged in the last act"

No Linnet Like His.

A certain collier possessed a linnet
which he always said was the finest
warbler and cleverest bird that ever
grew feathers.
"Enter him in the show said a
friend to the proud owner one day. He
acted on the advice, but the wonder
full bird was passed over by the
judges.
"Ie can't be so clever as you
thought he was" said the friend.
"Oh but he is" said Jack; "in fact,
he's a deal too clever. You see, it's
this way. One O. my lads at home is
a-what dyer call 'em?-a ventrilo-

Country Cousins DO Not Figure.

Turks have no family names, writes
General George B. Williams, in the
New York Telegraph. For example,
A man named Mohammed has a son
named Ahmed and a daughter named
Sophia. The son will always be
known merely as Ahmed and the
daughter merely as Sophia, in the lat
ter case even after marriage The re-
suit Is that members of families after
one or two generations become lost to
each other. In fact, the sisters and the
cousins and the aunts't business is not
much exploited in Turkey. One may
be talking to two brothers or two sis.
ters without the fact being made
known. There being no family ties
no aristocracy. The grand vizier of
to-day may have been a camel driver
or a servant. His rise is not due to
any family influence or connection.

found of him was the left leg. That

cried Haven't your men gone out

unmistakably false, had only smiled at
some Of the other stories.
That reminds me- he said finally.

order to see about half Of three cheap
acts in one of those old one-ring cir
cuses.
Il was a big, overgrown boy at the
time, ! lived in a small town twelve
miles off a railroad and when a small
circus billed the town and finally put up
its tent and side show on the vacant
lots next to our house, | didn't like to
dig up the price. Especially | didn't
like it when | noticed that the shed roof
OF our coal-house slanted upward to-
ward the open space just under the edge
OF the canvas roof of the main tent.
So while the ticket agent was busy,
/ sprawled out on the sloping roof, face
down, with my head just over the edge
OF the coal shed, looking over the heads
OF the spectators inside the tent and
into the tinse glories OF the ring.
And, incidentally, | was exactly in
that position when a circus roustabout
saw me and lifted me off the roof with
hunk of coal that knocked out six as
good teeth as ever a man stuck into a
Ben Davis apple.

President, President, but said that
Van Wyck was the Governor OF this
State.

asked the Judge
Eight years" was the quick but as
tonishing reply.
How was he electedY
Elected all right" said the candidate.
Yes, OF course, he was elected all
right exclaimed the judge, but you
are rejected, all the same"
Another failed TO pass because he was
able to give the names OF only two Of
the States; another for saying that he
lived in "the State OF Broadway" and
still another because he declared that
Congress made the laws OF New York
State.

is NOT A SUCCESS YET
STRIKE OF piTTSBURG SWITCH

FAILURE.
BUT ONE ROAD AFFECTED

men May Assist.
Pittsburg, Nov. 27.-Judging by ar
parent conditions, the switchmen's
strike i.-ugurated during the morn
ing has proven fiat failure. But a
reversal of this may result if the
strikers can make good their claims.
The strike was ordered by the Switch
mems Union of North America and the
claim was made early in the day by
the union officers that every road in
the city, with the exceptions of the
PittSburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago,
and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati Chicago
and st. Louis, would be tied up COM
pletely. The developments of the day,
however, demonstrate that but one
road, the Lehigh Valley, was seriously
affected. On this road but one crew
was at work and the road is badly
crippled. The company officials, while
admitting that freight traffic has been
practically suspended, say that Within
"a hours they will have all the men
they need and work will be resumed
as usual. The other roads affected
were the Baltimore and Ohio-12 men
out; Pittsburg Junction Ga branch Of
the Baltimore and Ohio, Is men out;
Pittsburg and Lake Erie, 4 men out;
the Pennsylvania, Is men out. One
hundred and fifty would be a high es-
innate of the number of men who
struck. None Of these roads suffered
much inconvenience because new men
were readily secured to take the place
Of the strikers, and some Of the men
upon discovering that the strike order
had not been generally obeyed, re-
turned to their places.
A meeting of the union was held
during the afternoon and the claim
was made that the strike was a sue
cess as far as it had gone, and that
within 4S hours the members of the
union, about 700, would be out.
Should the condition on the Lehigh
Valley be continued longer than two
days more the mills and factories
along the Allegheny river dependent
on it for raw material will be COM
PEELED to close down. The city mills
of the Carnegie company can stand
the pressure for this length of time,
but if extended beyond that the man.
agement says operations will have to
suspend.
A meeting of the Lawrenceville
branch of the Brotherhood of Train
men was held behind closed doors.
When the meeting adjourned the men
were reticent concerning what had
taken place. The only announcement
made was that the strike of the switch
men had been endorsed. What further
action may be taken could not be
learned. 1t is believed that the train
men will refuse to handle trains unless
switched by union men. This action
Of the Lawrenceville lodge is the first
outside endorsement given the strik-
ers and they are predicting that the
other unions will follow the lead.
