The Conductors Ready Answer.

The Metropolitan Street Railway
company has in it's employ a phi1ose~
pher in the person of a Broadway con-
ductor. ct was late in the evening,
and his car on it's up town trip had
reached the vicinity of the city hall.
AS it passed one of the taller Office
buildings q stout woman, clutching
him by the arm, exclaimed:
ooh, conductor, how many stories
high is that building"
eleven" IaconicalIy replied the con-
ductOr, without so much as an upward
glance. The woman sank back with q
sigh of satisfaction.
Just then a small man with q large
travelling bag rushed in almost out Of
breath.
II say, conductor" he gasped, what
time can l get to the Grand Central
depot?"

"That's good" commented the small
man, evidently relieved

ductor, with a weary look.
When questioned as to the uniformi-

answering 'em, they git worried, but
if you have an answer ready they're

The mob frequently blocked traffic

The mob frequently blocked traffic
and the police attempted to disperse
it. 1t was but a moment before stones
began to fly through the air, and a
general mix-up followed, in which the
foot police used their clubs and the
mounted men charged. The officers
fired their guns in the air and the mob
returned the fusillade with bricks and
cobblestones. At one time. when the
mob had gathered about the central
police station at Fort and Randolph
streets, bricks were thrown through
the windows. The fight continued for
three hours.
Mayor Maybury was down town
watching the crowd, and at one time
made a speech to the people from the
postoff1ce steps cautioning them to
do no violence, but stated that he was
not in sympathy with the order of
Police Director Andrews denying free
speech on the public streets.

MADISON, WISCONSIN.
Anxious to BE His Friend.

H"Thera are plenty of men in this
world" said the head of the firm, adj
dressing the clerk he had summoned
into the private office, ~who can trace
their successes directly to what they
at first considered failures. 1 knew
man WHO 20 years ago was a clerk in
a clothing store. His employer dis
charged him for incompetency. He
hunted through all the clothing stores
in town trying to get another job, but
couldn't find one, and at last, almost
starved, he got place as brakeman
on one of the railroads. Today he is
practically the head of that road draws
a salary OF $4,000 year and regards
the man who discharged him long ago
as the best friend he ever had. Now.
he is only one Of hundreds Of men who
have had similar experiences. So you
see what at first seems a misfortune
may often be a real blessing in dis
guise.''
The young man hid yawn behind
his hand and, thinking of the live
broiled lobster he had the night before
helped certain soft eyed creature to
remove from the scene, languidly re-
piled:
eyes: l know that has frequently
happened. Did you want to speak to
me about anything in particular this
morning, Mr.. Yamsley"
"Oh, no; nothing Of special impor-
tance," the old gentleman replied,
only I'm going to give you a chance
to look back some day and regard me
as your best friend. Goodby. I hope
you'll have all kinds Of success at
Whatever you decide to go at."-Chi-

Blacklisting Case Fails.

Chicago, May 13.-In the Driscoll
blackllsting case the jury failed to
agree and was discharged by the court
Saturday. The case was that of Mi
chael Driscoll against the Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad
company for $4,000 damages for al
legged blacklisting after the A. r. U.

man, and like many others since that

entered into conspiracy to blacklist
every man who takes part in any
strike

Attempt Co Run Street Cars Results in O
General Mix-Up.
Albany, N. ", May 14.-Riot fol
lowed the attempt of the Union Trac-
tion company to resume the opera
ton of a portion of it's electric street
railway system in this city which had
been tied up by the strike of employees
inaugurated last week. The company
had secured 200 non-union men to take
the place of strikers, and at night
housed the newcomers in the Quail
street barns, where they were guarded
by police and deputy sheriffs. Out
side the barns a large number Of strlk-
ers and their sympathizers assembled
during the night, the crowd growing
until it numbered 1000 or more by the
time the company was ready to send
out it's first car. Two policemen were
@n the platform with the mOtOrman,
and two guarded the rear platform.
The crowd greeted the appearance
of the car with derisive and insulting
cries, and obstructed it's passage, but
"a squad of police cleared the way and
it passed on and away from the vicin-
ity of the barn. Half an hour later, a
second car emerged from the barn.
The crowd Immediately made a dash
for it, some of them hurting missiles
at the motorman. The police could not
withstand the rush Of the mob, and
some of the rioters were soon upon
the platform. The motOrman was
struck several times on the head until
bleeding and senseless he relinquished
his grasp Of the handles. On the rear
platform two men pulled the trolley
pole down and bent it until it broke
The car had obtained some mOmen-
tum and striking the switch, went off
into the gutter. Once the mob had
accomplished it's purpose it withdrew
with cheers. The police arrested four
or five of the rioters. One Of the troll
ley wires fell to the street few min
utes after, having been cut, putting
one line out of commission.
