 gave the appointment of sergeants and

Eric Langdon. < Two evenings later Cresswell, with anxious eyes, looked up at the window of the second story room over his of- fees on Thayer street, the main thor oughfare of Brentwood It was after 10, but all was darkness there, and Langdon's invariable rule was to re- turn at once from drill and go early to bed, for, winter or summer, he was an early riser. The clerk and assistant
 who formerly occupied those humble quarters had married, moved west to the hills and thrown out his own shin gle, and Langdon thankfully had nov ed in. The street was still alive with people, but the lights in the rifles ar mory, two blocks away, had been ex- tinguished before the stroke of 10 at the city hall.

WATERS GET MANY TIPS.
One i'm Philadelphia Who Makes aa
 High as Fifty Dollars i'm <i One Week.

Stories of big tips given in Chicago's fashionable restaurants are outshone by the radiance of the following re- cital of a Philadelphia waiter to a Record reporter:
 Sometimes, said the waiter, "I make as much as $50 week in tips" ionable cafe and said this without blush. s'The lowest tip get is half a dollar" he continued. 11hat is given me by the young man who brings his girl to luncheon, and, very properly, buys no wine, because he is not yet married to her. The man who buys wine with a luncheon for two has a bill to settle of eight or nine dollars, never less. The dinner and supper tips are the big ones. You, for in- stance, come to me and say: Henry, l am bringing five guests to dinner here tomorrow at seven. I wish to spend $50. Reserve that corner table for me and see that the flowers and the candles are beautiful. I'll drop in at noon to look over the menu you will draw up. For my trouble you tip me, maybe, five dollars. Ifyour dinner party is larger one and you spend on 1t, say $50, you may tip me ten dol- lars. Some exceedingly generous per sons have been known to tip me S15 for dinner without any swooning be- ing done by me. The biggest tip I ever got was $50, but the man was drunk.
 "A percentage of my tips goes, of course, to the head waiter. A man, by the way, who isn't tipped half enough is the fellow in the hall who looks after the hats and wraps. He gives you no check, and yet among the hundred guests whose things are in his charge he remembers you, and when you come out to go he has your wraps ready for you without any ques- Hon1ng or any delay. A wonderful memory the fellow has, but he doesn't make much money.''

If assurance that the old wages would be restored from and after Nov. 1 fail- ed to reach them by noon Oct. 2S every man would quit work, and no man would be allowed to attempt it. More than once Cresswell had noticed strange, unprepossessing faces among the loiterers along the block. More than once men had called on one pre- text or other at the office and were furtiyely interested in the survey of the premises, but the police we'll knew the barroom blackguards who had threatened vengeance on Langdon for his interference in behalf of the sol dier they were beating to jelly, and in person at least they dare not act Tt isn't among the slums alone you have enemies, Langdon," said Cress- we'll.

BUSINESS TONE is GOOD.
Corn Shortage Having Little Effect on
Genaral TradA.

General Trade.
New York. Aug 10-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Trade Review today says:
There is no complaint from any part
OF the country over the volume of cur
rent distribution of merchandise and
what hesitation is observed in general
trade is chiefly due to the uncertainty
as to the duration of the labor troubles
liz the steel manufacture. Collections
continue good, better weather has
helped the agricultural classes. money
is easy and stocks of merchandise car
ried are not above the average for this
season of the year. particularly in the
west and southwest.
"Relief is felt in all departments Of
the iron and steel industry now that un-
certainty is ended and the position of
the contestants is made clear. Struc-
tural, wire and plate mills are not af-
fected and the production Of rails will
not be materially curtailed. Supplies of
bars and tubes will be restricted and
quotations in these lines tend to follow
the advance already secured for sheets
and hoops. A bad feature Is the in
creased importation of tin plate, which
had been manufactured in sufficient
quantity to about meet the domestic de-
rand imports in the last fiscal year
being valued at only s3,770,062, against
s35, 746920, ten years ago.
"Having no further ammunition in
heat and drouth reports for raising
prices, spectators have turned sudden
ly to the other extreme and demonstrate
that early frosts threaten all late
planted corn. The result has been a
spot quotation at this city Of more than
50 cents all the week, and the practical
elimination OF exporters from domestic
mrakets.
"A healthy demand from domestic
miIlers and phenomenal Atlantic ex-
ports give strength to wheat A the
