Women as AuctiOneers.

Speaking of occupations for wo-
men," said, according to the New York
Commercial Advertiser, the energetic
young person who expends all of her
executive ability on the management
OF one refractory maid and most of
her physical strength in busting her
parlor furniture. ''Why don't women
become auctioneers? Now there's q
profession that many of them were
certainly made for! ] think 1, for ex-
ample, would make a very good auc-
tioneer, and I'm sure I'd look as cap
tivating as the fat and bald-headed
autocrats who mount the rostrum at
most auction sales. And then think
what a commanding position one would
have, perched up there, the world at
ones feet, queen of all one surveyed
with dainty little silver-mounted
hammer In hand with what delight we
should be able to knock down bar
gains to our intimate friends, inveigle
our enemies into the purchase Of
worthless lots or defraud them out
OF the possession of coveted articles by
overlooking their bid or giving it to
a hatred rival! Indeed, we ought to
be frst-rate auctioneers. AS we are
so often sold ourselves, we should
nave an inkling as to how to sell
others.
. "oiHSl, DIS a rule, are SO f0nd of
bargains that feel sure they would
shine in disposing of them. Besides,
they have such a flow of language
such a mastery over detail. such ready
wit, and such marvellous intuition
that as a matter of fact, they are
born auctioneers, and it is only
through the envy, hatred, malice and
uncharitableness of the opposite sex
that the dignity of occupying the ros-
trum has been, so far, denied them.
"Of course, it would have its disad-
vantages. 1t would be hard, for in
stance, to say, Going, going-gone!
as we saw some charming and artistic
bibelot on which we had set our own
heart disappear into the dull and I'M
appreciative NAV of a wretched Goth
Vandal, Philistine, or parvenu, but the
mysteries of reserve prices and prices
not reaching the reserve would be as
an open book to us; we should be able
to do battle with the Vaccinations of
the ring; and, lGoreover, we could re-
fleet that the world is full of treasures
all 'bargain'-rnore or less"

Hot Retorts From Preacber.

OF all the brilliant preachers of mod

says the Saturday Evening Post. For
all whining pietists, for all oracular
utterers of commonplace, all anglers
for praise, in the pulpit or elsewhere,
the great preacher had an ineffable
contempt. One day a sickly, querulous
old man belonging to his congregation
met him in the street and said: 'Ah
Mr.. Hall, you have never-been to see
me, sir. Ive-pve-Ive been very i'll;

Pugh's Luck Began at Faro.

How Joe Pugh. the noted kentucky
politician and the most intimate friend
of the murdered Gov. Goebel. came to
own a racing stables is an interesting
story, known by one or two of his most
intimate friends only says the Chica-
go Chronicles Lexington (Ky9 CORE
spondent.
The owner of st. Hera, Uledi and
other cracks some years ago strolled
into a faro. bank on Vine street, in
Cincinnati, and bought a stack of yell
low chips. The limit was only s25, but
he sat the night out with the dealer
and, striking a run OF luck in the gray
dawn of the morning, won out the bank
roll
Thinking a car ride would do him
good and ease his restless mind, he
rode out to the Latonia race track,
where the horses were being pushed
in their work for the meeting then
close at hand. Trainer Hall, who now
has charge of his big stable, told him
OF a selling platter he could get for
only $500 and declared he could win
him out his first start.
Il thought" said Pugh in telling of
the occurrence, that 1 would get some
good or If that faro money, so hand
ed EIai. 300 and told him to buy the
horse. When the day arrived for my
horse TO run the hookies posted 3 to
against him and / sent in $180 on him.
The runner came back with the ticket
and, hearing a little later that he had
gone to 4 to l, l bet another 500. In
q little while he went to to l and l
bet 800 more, but he still kept climb
ing and when l went back in the ring
he was'6 to l, and then l loosened up
and bet 81 900 on him.
Il did not have sense enough to know
that the syndicate books had the
jockey, and though 1 was backing my
own horse was up against skin
game. The horse that the books fig
ured on taking my easy money from
me fell and broke his neck and my old
how l got into the race-horse business
through Cincinnati faro bank, with
about as bad a race horse to win a
purse as a man can own.
This year have had quite profit
able season, but they handed me a few
hot ones on that Canadian circuit
got Uledi just right and bet $4,000 on
him, but they attended to him all right
Then / went home and Hall switched
jockeys on the horse and ran him
again and he walked in without me
having a cent on him. / went back up
again and bet another $4,000 on him.
and, with Lee Jackson up, they beat
him a nose. The next time out I was
again at home, did not play him and
he simply walked in. / got even on
him at Buffalo, however, when he won,
as 1 had commission of 81 500 and
got to for my money"

A TREATY WITH CItnA.

A new treaty with Cuba will be sub
mitted to the Senate shortly after the
converting OF Congress. The treaty was
sent to President Palma by Secretary
OF State Hay some weeks ago. The
information has been received in Wash
ington that the Cuban president and
his cabinet have reached an agreement
as to the document. They accept its
main terms, desiring only some minor
changes, which may be conceded by
the United States.
The new treaty. it is understood,
provides for reciprocity upon a 20 per
cent. basis. President Palma has here
tofore stood out for a 80 1-3 per cent
basis, and il was asserted only re-
Gently that he would continue to con-
tend for a concession OF that size from
the United States. No doubt he has
been brought to see that the beet sugar
and other protected interests which
would be affected would make so hard
a fight against such a concession as
to endanger the treaty, and hence has
decided to make the most of present
opportunities and hope for better
things in days to come
There is probably little danger that
the new treaty will meet the fate Of
the old one. Several of the Western
senators who voted against reciproc-
ity have lately announced that they
will vote in favor of it when the.
matter comes up again. They mis-
judged public opinion in their states
with respect to concessions to Cuba,
and after a visit to their constituencies
they changed their attitudes. They
will find it easier to climb down over
a 20 per cent. concession than they
would over one of 80 1-3 per cent, as
proposed by the Cubans. The President
said shortly after the failure Of the
first treaty that reciprocity with Cuba
would be written into the govern
ment's policy "as sure as fate" The
opportunity is near at hand for the
fulfillment of the prediction.

Will this explain the best he can,
For that is customary.

Marches fine and simple air.

And then twill be quite up to date,
And there's your comic opera.

TO INCORPORATE LABOR UNIONS

An effort is to be made in the Mas
sachusetts Legislature to secure the
passage of a law providing that labor
unions must be incorporated. The
friends of the bill claim that in such
manner the unions would be nut upon
the same footing, in the eyes of the
law, with other corporations, and that
1t would be a long step in the direc-
ton of bringing about the arbitration
of labor troubles. One reason why COM
pulsory arbitration is not possible un-
der existing conditions is that there is
no means of compelling one party to
the controversy to accept the award of
the arbiters. Incorporated capital
might possibly be reached by the law
and forced to live up to its agreement.
but organized, unincorporated labor
could not be so reached. The union has
no standing in law. 1t cannot sue or be
sued. 1t is claimed on behalf of the
bill that the state ought to control all
great combinations which affect the
common good, whether composed of
money or men, of capitalists and In
vestors or laborers. Massachusetts has
very stringent laws regulating combi-
nations of capital, but none whatever
regulating combinations of labor.
Boston labor leaders who have been
interviewed with respect to the bill are
without exception opposed to it. They
say that it has many disadvantages,
-xithout corraepopdinc haoaf5tso 80
that where you have law, you have
litigation" which means trouble and
expense. This latter, however, is true
of all law; and 1t certainly would not
do to wipe out all of the statutes be-
cause they result in litigation.
The discussion OF this bill in the Mas
sachusetts Legislature will be followed
with interest in all parts of the coun-
try. Its purpose, so far as is known.
has never before been attempted in
this country.
