No Time to Lose.

A merchant in Chestnut street has become very fond of an office boy he engaged last June. The boy entered very early in the morning, when the merchant was reading the paper. The latter glanced up and went on reading without speaking. After three minutes the boy said:
 "Excuse me, but Pm in a hur- ry"
 What do you want?' he was asked.
 "A job"
 "You do! Well!" snorted the man of business, "why are you in such a hurry?"
 Got to hurry" replied the boy. Left school yesterday to go to work and haven't struck anything yet. I can't waste time; if you've got nothing fol me say so, and I'li look else where. The only place 1 can stop long is where they pay me for it."
 "When can you come?' asked the surprised merchant.
 Don't have to come," he was told, 'I'm here now, and 1 would have been to work before this il you'd said so"-Philadelphia Times.

Irrigation Work.

F. A. Newell, chief hydro grapher of the government has recently finished a tour of Wyoming in the interest of irri- gation. A number of sites for reservoirs have been examined. When asked to what extent in vestigation into the reclamation of arid lands by the government, through the storage reservoir system, had been made, Mr. Newell said the special service organized under the government survey was now working in Arizona, on the Gila river and tributaries; in California on the Colorado river, and in San Joaquin valley; in Colorado, near Sterling, on the South Platte, and near Montrose on the Gunnison river; in Idaho, on the headwaters- of Snake and Boise rivers; in Montana, on Yellowstone and Milk rivers; in Nevada, on Carson and Truckee rivers; in Utah, on Bear river, and in Wyoming, on the Big Horn and North Platte rivers.
 Mr. Newell said that all schemes would be considered in the light of full information as to practicabilitY, cost and prob ability of obtaining early repay ment of cost.

A LUCID VIEW.

Secretary Shaw, in his speech in Vermont yesterday, summed up the question of tariff revision tersely and accurately by saying:
 "The question is not whether there are inaccuracies, inequali- ties or imperfections in the pres ent law, but whether it is wise to attempt revision at this time. It is idle to suppose that any revision would satisfy our opponents, who have no revision policy of their own. No policy of legislation, no foreign policy, no insular policy, no expansion policy, no Philippine policy, is or ever will be devised that will satisfy the opposition"
 Nobody whose opinion is worth considering denies that many itemsin the present tariff schedules should be modified, but nobody familiar with the ways of Congress will claim that notifications are easy things to secure. Each member Is in favor of notifications in other direc- tions than those affecting the in- terests of his constituents, and the outcome is always intermin- able delay and uncertainty which is a serious harm to buSi- ness and industry. The demo crats and their sympathizers do not care how much of this anXie- ty may be aroused; in fact, the more of it the better for them; but the republicans look at the matter in quite another way. They are not likely to attempt any changes so long as the coun- try is so prosperous as it is at present. The counsel of ''let we'll enough alone" is certain to prevail.

New Kind of Democrat.

At the Tilden Club not long ago, says the New York Times, Frank H. Brooks was among those who walked up to shake hands with eX-President Grover Cleveland.
 "Mr. Cleveland,' said MT. Brooks, "I am very glad to see you. I owe you the only polit- ical honor I have had in my life. ,
 "How was that?" asked MT. Cleveland.
 "You appointed me consul to Trieste"
 "Ah, indeed! How did you like Trieste?'
 II didn't go there. You after ward changed the appointment to consul general at St. Peters burg, the salary or the Trieste consulship not being such as l could accept"
 "Well, how did you like St. Petersburg?"

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
PRESIDENTS CLOSE CAL

AO S~OOE ~NAAGA@s
 Lenox, Mass, Sept. 3.-A ter rible accident overlook the pres ident's coach a short distance from Pittsfield at about 10 o'clock this morning. After short visit to the home of Senator Dawes, the president started on the long drive to Lenox. The party had not gone far when an electric car ran into the vehicle, throwing everyone to the ground and badly damaging the coach. The president received a cut on the head. Secretary George B. Cortelyou was bruised and head cut. Governor Crane was bruised considerably and Will liam Craig, a secret service agent, was instantly killed. D. J. Pratt, the driver of the coach, sustained a fractured skull, which it is feared may result fatally. The president was able to resume his journey into Le- nox, but sent word ahead that there should be no cheering.
 The accident happened at a roint about d mile and a half from this city, near the Pitts field Country Club house. The The president was enjoying a coaching trip from Dalton, Gov ernor Cranes home, where the president had spent the night, to Lenox, a distance of twenty miles over the Berkshire hill. The car was in charge of Con- ductor James Kelly with Motor man Maddon on the front plat form. The car struck the coach in the rear, smashed in the back, tipping it over and throwing the occupants to the ground. The mOtorman and conductor were at once arrested and brought to PittSfeld.

LAND WITHDRAWN
 BY SEC. HITCHCOCK.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Under authority contained in the irri- gation law, the secretary of the interior has withdrawn from sale or entry total of 9,3O8, 16O acres of public land in several western states. These with drawals embody tracts included within prospective reservoir sites and lands that will be inn proved when the works are com pleted, the withdrawals having been made to prevent specula- tion in lands. The attention of the department has been called, however, to the fact that the law provides withdrawals made for this purpose shall be sub iect to homestead entry, and supplementary instructions have accordingly been sent out ad- vising local land offices that homesteads may be made at any time on lands withdrawn for ir- rigation purposes.
 Of the withdrawn lands, five townships are in the Salt Lake land district, Utah; six in the Buffalo, eight in the Cheyenne and 9 in the Douglas districts, Wyoming; eighty eight town ships in Arizona, forty nine in California, seventy in Colorado, forty-one in Montana and 128 in Nevada.
 Other withdrawals will be made from time to time, as ex aminations of sites already with drawn are completed. The de partment hopes to have sufficient complete reports by the close o1 the present season to select sev' eral sites upon which initial irri. gation works will be undertaken under the new law. Lands moi needed for irrigation will be re stored to the public domain.

 Compulsory Arbitration.

Several days ago N. F.. Thompson, formerly secretary of the Johnstown board of trade, wrote to Mark Hanna urging compulsory arbitration as the only means of settling the an thracite strike. MT. Hanna wrote:
 q note your argument in ia vor of compulsory arbitration, but my experience among labor leaders would indicate that they are not yet prepared to admit the force of this argument; in other words, they are opposed to compulsory arbitration. All this is work of education and must be approached very care fully and by short steps. In these days of prosperity it is not surprising that we should have a multiplicity of strikes, but 1 for one am disposed to excuse that method when it is required to enforce the rights of their de mands, which in some instances lava oaac recognized.

StahPs mouth was also bruised by the force of the air, which had been subjected to a 200-pound pressure. Just as the brakeman was coupling the hose the engineer turned on the air, with the result that the hose parted and the luckless brakeman was sent sprawling.
