WHY HE WORE HIS HAT.

Incoming Passenger Had It Full of
 Goods He Was Smuggling In.
 New York, Sept 20.-Ill feeling was aroused yesterday against passenger on the incoming steamer Belgravia of the Hamburg line, which reached her dock in Hoboken shortly after 5 o'clock, just before the universal pause oe five minutes in the work of the day was being observed. The man, who gave his name as "Prof O. II. Hatt- staldt of the University of Milwaukee," was alone among the throngs gathered on the ships deck and on the pier in keeping his head covered during the solemn moments.
 It was learned subsequently,, how C CT, it was no mere thoughtlessness on the part of the professor that had led him to make himself so unpleasanrly conspicuous. 1t was rather an over careful train of thought. which, hav- ing once been translated into action, brought him all unwilling to confusion
 Yet, although the professors brow clouded darkly at the questioning he had to undergo from more patriotic Americans, there was a silver lining to the cloud. The only trouble was he had to pay duty on it.
 The action of Hattstaldt was all the IeSeHleu OH tDts Belgravia from the impressiveness of the ceremony which was observed. As the ships bell tolled out six bells to mark 3:30, the massed bands of the Belgrayia and the Pennsylvania played ''Nearer, My God, to Thee" Led by four custom house officers the passen- gers and crew joined in the hymn. then, while all remained reverentially uncovered the bands played Chopin's funeral march, the tolling of the ships bell striking at intervals.
 Customs Inspector Donohue and others saw that Hattstaldt, in spite of obvious hints, refused to bare his head. When the exercises were com pleted he asked the passenger why he had failed to show the same respect for the occasion as had been displayed by everyone else on board. Hattstaldt became angry and evasiye.
 "Ill wear my hat when I want to-" he said.
 You'll take it off now" replied the inspector. Suiting the action to the words he removed the offending head- gear. Hattstaldt made desperate. grab for it. but the outraged bystand- CTS sided with the inspector, and the secret of the silk hat was known 10 all the next moment. A shower of val uable little articles rained down upon the professors perspiring brow.
 Floods of silver teaspoons of the daintiest design, trinkets of all shapes and kinds, even gold mounted opera glasses, were contained in the profes- sor's magic hat; and as all the spoil tinkled merrily onto the wharf every one, from the custom house inspector down to the bootblacks on the pier. felt the hat-loving professor had received at least part of the punishment that was due him for his dsrespect There is no University of MlWankee.

 Amalgamated Journal Tells Why
 The Strike Was a Failure.
 Pittsburg, Sept 20.-With few ex- captions work was resumed in some measure at the mills of the United States Steel Corporation to-Gay, and if the disgruntled tin workers can be conciliated by next Monday all the plants will be in full operation.
 Among the tin workers, the feeling against returning to work unless the union is recognized is still strong, but influences are at work which, it is hoped. will induce the strikers to ac- cept the present situation.
 At McKeesport~a all theplants but one rolling mill where the men still insist upon recognition. were running full.
 The Amalgamated Journal comment ing upon the New York settlement, says:
 'sThe causes that led up to this un- satisfactory settlement were the over whelming orders that the association had to battle against the daily press, public opinion, the advice of promi- nent labor leaders and the withdrawal of credit by merchants"

The Vanderbilt System of Railroads
 To Make Changes.
 New York, Sept 20.-The Journal of Commerce says:
 1t has been learned from an authora- tive source that important plans for the practical consolidation of direction of the entire Vanderbilt system of railroads are in course of preparations. These plans include the formation of new parent company. It will be en- tirely financial company and will be the holder of q stock of the subsidiary companies. No name has yet been se- lected for the proposed parent com pany, but ''The New York Central com pany" seems to be the most generally favored.
 The exact status of the plans is as follows: W. K. Vanderbile has given considerable study to the practical consolidation of the lines proposed, and at his suggestion Edward V. w Ros- sitter, treasurer of the New York Gen. tral railroad company and H. McK Twombly, director. whose opinion is practically valued by MT Vanderbilt, have for some time been at work on q skeleton plan. When this has received MT Vanderbilt's approval it will then be worked out i'll greater detail and be placed formally before the board of directors.
