Singing Masters Have much Dimcuity
In Securing This Kind Of
Tulent.


The forming OF a boy choir seems to
be q matter OF considerable difficulty,
singularly enough the Sunday school
furnishes very few recruits for this
purpose and in almost every instance
the choirmaster Is forced to apply 10
the public schools for boys.
When he has obtained the necessary
permission he goes straight TO the
classroom and sees the boy personally.
Then his troubles begin. Who would
believe that the pugnacious, small,
public ~schoolboy edges shyly on when
IL comes 10 a question Of dealing At
close range with a strange grown
up?" This, nevertheless, is just what
happens. But finally, By dint Of much

Thankful for this scant nucleus at
least, he begins training his little com
pany. A single rehearsal and then
more excuses begin TO come in. This
boy has decided that the rehearsals
take too much time from his play.
That boy has CHANGED to mention the
choir practice at home and for some
reason or other his parents withdraw
him; and so on, until even the scant
remainder Of the original array has
sunk TO a mere two or three and, with
! a sigh, the choirmaster thanks the
prOpitious fates for even these.
Then the master begins to exercise
his ingenuity in other directions. He
offers a bonus TO the members who viii

A CHINESE CATERER.
Oriental Residents In New
York City.

The delivery system Of retail trade
is unknown In the Chinese empire,
and even when q Chinaman becomes a
storekeeper in the United States he
tries a. far rs possible to pursue the
methods Of his native land. BY de,
grees he absorbs western ideas, and
after a time does business in a queer,
half-OriOntal and half-occidental man

l%aundryman went TO Chinatown to
purchase his supplies, The task re-
quired considerable labor in carrying

Is a constant demand. Among these

PORTED-THE WEEKLY SUMMARY
Washington. Sept. 24.-Following is the Weather
Bureaus MeeklX SUMMARY Of crop conditions:

Washington. Sept. 24-Following is the Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop conditions:
The week has been unseasonably cool in nearly
al districts east of the Rocky Mountains. with
throughout the central valleys. Middle Atlantic
States and northern portions Of the Central Gulf
states. Excessively heavy and damaging rams
occurred in the East Gulf and South Atlantic
States. on the Pacific Coast the weather condi-
tions We're very favorable. except in Northern and
portions Of Central California. where rains prob
ably caused extensive damage to grain hay and
grapes
Late corn has been damaged extent by
bra ska. Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. the percent
age of damage the last named State being very
small The crop has also suffered some slight
damage on low lands in Indiana and Ohio but the
bulk of the crop east of the Mississippi River Is
matured and safe from injury from frost. cut
ting has progressed favorably and is nearing COM
petiOn in some States.
The heavy rains in the South Atlantic and East
Gulf States ca iSed much injury to cotton and the
the cotton belt continue to show the unfa vora BILE
effects of tho rains of the previous week, although
large part Of the last named districts has re-
ceived only light showers. or appreciable rain
fall. In the central and eastern districts much
open cotton has been diSColored and considera bic
beaten out. while rottng and sprouting are quite
generally reported. and cool weather has checked
growth During the early part of the week pick
ing was retarded in the eastern districts. but was
actively resumed the close of the week. In
Texas picking progressed uninterruptedly, and in
localities SOME improvement in late cotton is indi
Gated but the general condition of the crop in that
State is poor.

RECOGNITION OF UNION ASKED FOR IT IS
SAID-SHoRTER HOURS. ALSO.

A conference lasting two hours took place yes
terday afternoon in the Office Of the Erie Rail-
road Company between Frederick d. Under
wood, president of the Erie Railroad Company.
and John Mitchell. president OF the United Mine
Workers of America. and tie district presidents
Of the anthracite regions. The district presi-
dents were T. d. Nichols Joseph Fahey and
Thomas Duffy.
Neither side would say what discussed
at the conference, but II learned that a
number of questions between the union and the
coal company has arisen The chief one is the
recognition of the union. Last March. when an
agreement was signed behalf OF the miners
and the coal companies the question of sign
ing an agreement with the union instead of the
employees of the individual companies came up.
The companies took the stand that the union
had not shown that il could control its men, and
that 1t was manifestly useless to sign agree
ment with the union behalf of men whom II
could not control A sort of promise made
that when the union could show that IL could
control the men the companies would consider
the question of an agreement with the union.
It was said yesterday that Mitchell would try
to show that the union controlled the miners
and would ask for It's formal recognition A
revision of some of the rules and shorter
workday, it was said, would also be asked for
