Cheaper Uniforms.
To tha Editor NJ The Evening Star.

IL inc I-uitoI VI 1ue EfeuibS SldE.
We usually look for funny things under
the head of Shooting Stars" but the most
humorous article in Fridays issue of The
Star was on page 8, under the head Of
Railway Mems Uniforms and the thous-
and or so employees Of the Washington
Traction and Electric Company had a good
laugh over the interview with an official Of
the company. The interview is quite skill
full attempt to justify the course of the
company in regard to it's attitude on the
uniform issue The official makes faces
at the union very much like an ex-union
man, but as the company has been fairly
well posted as to our movements and num-
bers the official must know positively that
majority of the motormen and conductors
employed by his company belong to the
union, and that that majority includes the
most efficient men the company employs.
The principal question suggested by the
article in Fridays Star was this: How is
by local firms as by Baltimore firms that
local firms of established reputation have
been willing all along to furnish the re-
qutred uniforms at a price 81 less than the
Baltimore firm has charged? It is under
stood, moreover, that Saks & Co. have their
own factory and would manufacture the
uniforms themselves
or course, the men are very grateful for
the watchful care and interest the company
manifests, and probably, local firms viii be
glad to learn that the company Is solicitous
for their welfare. This Is in line with the
satisfaction and harmony that has been
often pictured in rosy colors by ian official
of the company" who makes the conpre-
hensive statement on this occasion that
everybody has been satisfied" If every
body means Tavenner, Neidfelt & Co OF
the company benefit association alias relief
association, then the statement is doubtless
correct; but outside of those people If an
employee can be found who is or has been
satisfied with the price, quality and At of
the Baltimore uniforms let him be cap-
tured and placed on exhibition, and the en-
pieyes will contribute quite a handsome
sum for the privilege Of viewing the mon

The union would not have been formed
II the men had been satisfied Satisfied
men are not much on kick. But men
who work for 81 or So per week: men who
start to work before daylight and turn in''
in the middle of the night; men who are
summarily dismissed from the service Of
the company by droves with no reasons
assigned; men whose conditions are he
coming constantly harder; men who have
been required to pay $1535 for uniform
(and cap), and had to wink both eyes ha rf1
when they paid the money oyer-these a aI,e
the satisfied" men who have flocked into
the union in spite Of the freezing-out policy
of the company. And II the company womb

arrange for better conditions, 1t wonld

men. satisfied force Of employees Is the
best stock a company can have, and N

WITH THE WREsTLERs.

After trying in vain to get a match for his wrestler. Max Luttberg, with Parker or Bothner, Fred Burns has come to the conclusion that the latter wrestlers are quitters.
 George Bothner, the New York crack. essayed to throw two men at the London theater on the BoWery last night at catch as catch can style in fifteen minutes or forfeit $50. Bothner succeeded in beating his first man. Tom McNann of New York, but his other opponent, Jim Calvin, a heavyweight from Ireland, stayed. Steve O'Donnell was the referee. Me Mann went after Bothner in spirited fashion. He showed surprising strength and got away from holds which an ordinary man could not very well re- sist. In the first five minutes Both ner almost had McMann down, but the latter persisted in getting off the mat and Bothner had to try all over again. Tn this way McMann recov- cred his wind, Finally. after 10 min utes and 15 seconds, Bothner got a back hammer lock, and McMann la bored hard to break the hold. It was no use, however, TOT BOtnnef pinned both shoulders and secured a fall Bothner had only minutes and 45 seconds in which to conquer Calvin and utilized all his strength and skill in the attempt to defeat his opponent. But Galvin's size and strength were too much of handicap and at the time limit he was still up and doing. He received $25 and the decision. To- night Bothner is slated to meet three men, including Tom Carey, the 'sDen- tist." Bothner will endeavor to throw all his rivals in fifteen minutes or for felt S7h,

ANCIENT EGGS.

Tn tearing down an old house in the town of Marlborough, Conn, the other day q curious discovery was made. Between the partitions and surrounded by the huge timbers used in the con- Struction of farm houses in the olden days was a. hens nest and ill it four perfect hens eggs, very brown with age, but not cracked or broken in the least.
 By shaking them a faint rattle could be heard on the inside, showing that the contents had dried up into a very small mass. According to the oldest in habitants the house was erected 200 years ago and as no alterations or re pairs were ever made at this particular spot, judging from the condition Of the timbers, plank and hand-wrought iron nails used, it is argued that the nest and eggs must have been there ever since the house was built
 The theory is that during the pro- cess of construction, biddy entered be- tween the partitions, laid her little clutch and was debarred from com pleting her maternal plans-that of laying a full number of eggs and rear ing brood of chicks by the fact that her nest was boarded in. The tlmbers were so heavy and the plank ing so thick that no rats or mice could enter. so here the eggs remained, their mission unfulfilled. The nest and eggs are now in the possession of Henry Lord.
 The house stood near the Congrega- tional church and was occupied for many years by William Bolles. famiI- larly known as ''Froze- -to-Death'' Bolles, owing to the fact that he ha- bitually wore two or three pairs of trousers. four or five waistcoats. three or four coats besides comforters around his neck winter and summer. because, as he said, The was bothered with asthma

WHERE LIVING COSTS MONEY


 People in the United States who are grumbling about high taxes should find much consolation in the knowledge that their property is not situated in any of the European cap itals. In Berlin, for example, the
 great American life insurance com panies are required to invest cer- | tain portion of their assets in city property, and their taxes, which are
 no higher than those of other real es- tate owners, amount annually to more than one-third of their receipts from rentals. Tn Vienna taxes are even
 higher. The man who owns the building ill which the American le- gation is located divides the rent WltR the government ill equal shares. The same rates prevail ill other large Flu
 ropean cities.
 In addition to this the building ceg-
 ulations are rigid and make construc- tion very expensive, and every struc-
 ture must be fireproof, with stone
 staircases to the top floor, double
 walls, floors and roofs of steel and terra cotta. The front must core
 spond with the adjoining buildings in height and architectural treat
 ment. A poor man cannot build q home in any of the European cities. He must go into the suburbs. Hence most of the ground owned by indi- viduals is leased to building compa- nies and capitalists.
 The architectural development of the new part of Vienna, under the direction of the government, stimu- lated nriVate enterprisa thrOuohOut the city. The old suburbs were torn away and replaced by modern build ings of an ornate and solid charac- ter. The entire population lives in apartment houses, with the exception of such members of the nobility as are rich enough to maintain places of their own. Rentals are very high, and, although the apartments are spacious and handsomely decorated, they are almost uniformly without comforts and conveniences which the American taste and habits demand. Bathrooms are very scarce. An Amer ican gentleman who was looking for an apartment not long ago complained to the real estate agent that there were no bathrooms in apartments of fered him at a rental that would pay for fine house in Chicago or Wash ington. The agent replied that there " $ a public bath on the same street Inly four blocks away, and seemed Surprised when informed that such an important circumstance made no diff ference. He sugges ed that Ameri- cans were very particular.-W l.. Curtis in Chicago Record Herald.

I was unable to be around or attend to my work, was troubled with constipation, neural gia and poor appetite, in fact, every trouble that attends a rundown condition of the system, and have taken two bottles of Burdock Blood Bitters and the Pills.
