AGAINST OFFICER BAILEY.
Caught Slipping in Pack of Cards to
 Quarantined Men.

The board of public safety will hold a meeting this evening for the purpose of hearing charges against Policeman George Bailey. Captain Richardson and his wife of the Salvation army are the complainants. It is said that yesterday morning or the evening be- fore, it will make very little difference which to the officer, that he was caught ill the act of slipping q pack of cards into the shelter, which is quaran- tined This pack was thrown away by Captain Richardson, and he remon- strated with the policeman for attempt ing to violate the rules of the shelter. this, says good au- thority, the policeman tried again to get a pack of cards to the inmates. This time Captain Richardson, so the story goes, suspecting the policeman engaged him in conversation and con yinced himself that the officer had been drinking. This will make the second time officer Bailey will have been before the board of safety charged with partaking of drink on duty.

BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION.
Government Building Project Being
 Pushed Forward.

The Business Mems association, at a meeting of the directors held last evening, in the office of the secretary, Attorney Church, gave the project of a government building another push for- ward. Attorney Church will do all in his power to keep this matter go- ing, The directors took up the sub- Ject with considerable. vigor and it was determined to get all the business interests of the city interested in 1t. The first step to be taken in this di- rection is to interview all the manufac- turers, get them interested and have them select a committee which will act with q committee from the Busi ness Mems association in putting the. project on wheels and send it straight to Washington.
 It is the opinion of many public men that when both the business and manufacturing interests of the city have put their shoulders to the long discussed subject there will be no doubt but that the Washington author ities will report favorably upon the bill for government building in Wa terbury.
 The subject Is now in a good way to be hastened to Washington. 1t has not been determined whether to send q draft of resolutions on the mat ter to Washington or to send the res olutions by a committee representing all the interests and the life of the city. It appears, however, to be the opinion of the Business Mems associa- tion that it would be better to send a delegation. There will be no delay ill the matter and with each step for ward those who have been conspicuous i'll the movement since the beginning are confident that it will not be long when the government building will at last be q fact.

The Tientsin situations

WASHINGTON, March 12.-It is true, as reported from Peking, that the influence of the American government has been exerted to cure the early withdrawal of foreign troops from Tientsin. Having withdrawn our own troops, our government can do nothing further in that direction than to use moral suasion with the other powers. 1t is stated here that this has been eff fective to the extent that every one of the powers has assented to the proposi- ton to withdraw the troops, even Ger many, which is now represented as halting.

CAPTURED HORSE AND BUGGY.
But Negro Thief Escaped Vigilant
 Police Officer.

Somewhere within the confines of the City of Montgomery there is colored inoiVidual name unknown. pedigree ditto, but complexion unmistakable, who tried to steal c horse ana buggy owned by Mir John Mcintyre put iaiieo
 While ambiing down lower Commerce Street about twilight yesterday this saffron-hued per- son suddenly found his eyes resting upon horse and buggy standing in front of store The buggy looked inviting with its cushioned seat that the negro finding the sidewalk com paratively deserted at the moment stepped into the buggy just to test the softness of the cushion, of course. The reins peeping over the dashboard appealed irresistably to his sportive proclivites and his itching fingers with a will, stronger than the one in his wooliy top piece, soon held them firmly In the nstural trend of events the horse began moving down the street with the buggy and negro follow ing.
 Having finished his business in the store Mr. Mcintyre came out and started to his buggy. or, to be explicit. to the place where he had left his buggy A big lump of black. foggy atmosphere of the night occupied the spot where the horse and buggy had formerly been.
 Taking in the situation at glance and realizing that he had been taken fin and was minus one horse and buggy, MT. Mcintyre hur- ried back Into ,the store and telephoned the facts to the police station.
 Dry Sergeant Hugh Bowling was just going off duty and jumping on a horse he started fin pursuit of the stolen outfit Up on Bell Street the police officer saw a buggy and began rap idly overhaulins It. The negro evidently had personal acquaintance with the police depart. ment of Montgomery. for he recognized both the approaching horse and rider. The negro abandoned his booty and with a flying leap disappeared into the black depths of Bell Street alley.
 Sergeant Cowling drove the horse and buggy back down town and turned them over to Mir. Mcintyre.

GOOD AS EBONY.
Persimmon Wood Takes 6 Fine
 Polish.

Washington Post
 Manufacturing may be practical and prosaic enough, but 1t has some curious twists and turns Several years ago a man arrived in one of the Southern ctties, purchased a strip of land and erected small factory or mill. He then made a trip over the country. callina on the farmers and giving them to understand that he would pay certain price Tor persimmon and dogwood delivered at his mill.
 The countryside was surprised. Never in their day, or In that. of their fathers, had any one offered to buy persimmon or dogwood. Those were two growths which they had always regarded as so much dead waste. For walnut, oak, pop lar, ash and pine there was always a ready sale, but who had ever heard or dreamed of any one being able to utilize persimmon or dogwoo6?
 soon convinced them. The great cotton. woolen and cloth mills of England and Europe, he explained used up thousands of shuttles every year. and in all places where there were big cloth and faoTic works there were factories that did nothing but manufacture wooden shut ties to supply the wear and tear of the mills. To make these shuttles, ne ex- plained, the manufacturers had to inn port good. hard, tough wood, sawed or cut into blocks of certain length. width and thickness, and 1t was to supply the English French and German demand TOT what are known to commerce as snuttie blocks' that he had established plant.
 Persimmon belongs to the same family as the ebony tree. and Of all American woods it is perhaps the toughest ana hardest while dogwood, which, prior 10 the coming of this man and his factory, had been of no other use to the people than to notify them of the time to begin fishing in the spring, Is equally enduring.
 The stranger above mentioned is today running large shuttle-block factory. The Ko1 oLcp ahO1it the size Of bricks, ana are treated with a solution, the secret of which is known only to fne maker; to prevent them from cracking, ana which turns the wood bright yellow color. and. in this State they are shipped to the shuttle-makers of Marchester, Llv- erpool and Birmingham. Yet there is no reason why persimmon and dogwood should not be made up into shuttles Tn this country. instead of sending the wood to England for that purpose.
 Although Americans have always con sidered pereimmon as waste growtn' H Is nevertheless an ornamental wood' Mn 1nd ia extensively used bv the Japanese. ko- reans and Chinese in cabinet making, Those who visit the National Museum: have. doubtless. more than once stopped In admiration before the case containing sinnon wood made by the Koreans. The wood is extremely hard, durable and takes a fine polish
 Like ebony. 1t is streaked nere ana there with black. which the Japs know how to bring out to advantage. The reason why 1t has never been used in this country is owing to. the fact that the first settlers being from England beech, birch. ash, etc. for furniture mak- ing. and. having no such tree as the per sirnmon in Epgland, their descendants for succeeding generations down even 10 tne Themselves to the perslmmon as one of inc fine furniture woods.

Women in Rather Odd Vacations.

The variety of ways in which women earn IiveIihoods are indeed many. One woman folds circulars and addresses wrappers in the day. time in an office and furnishes a night force in the game building with bottled milk. She buys a dozen bottles at a time and makes a cent and a half on each one. says the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Another woman works half day in of- flee, takes out the children of an i'll woman in the afternoon if the weather permits, watches the children of another family that goes to the theatre every Saturday night and accompanies the children to Sunday school the next day.
 Another darns the socks of all the bacfe- lors in the neighborhood and takes the dog of an invalid woman out every day for consti- tutonals.
 Another makes two trips to the country every week to buy fresh eggs and butter for several families.
 Another pumps an organ every Sunday after noon in private residence.
 Another is harpist fin a choir in two seE- vices on Sunday and gives lessons in dancing to children two evenings a week.
 Another makes a good income by ascertain- ing from several steamship companies the residences of people who going abroad and then going to their residences to ascertain if packer. They usually do.
 Another curls the hair of a number of chill dren In the neighborhood where she lives and she as well homes razors for a number of young men who are their own barbers.

MAY ASK AN INCREASE
COMMITTEES OF RAILROAD MEN
 IN SESSION.
Engineers, Firemen1s Conductors and Trainmen's Organizations Working in Harmony for
 First Time in Years.

Chicago. Dec. 2-The Chronicle says: .
 With the purpose of formulating re- quests for increases of from 10 to 20 per cent in the pay of 10000 railroad em- ployes, committees from four powerful labor organizations are now meeting in Chicago They are holding daily ses- sions in four Chicago hotels and may be expected to present their demands to the railway officials early next week.
 The four organizations represented by the committees are: Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers membership H,000; Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, membership 47.000; Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainmen. membership 60,000; Order of Railway Conductors. membership 22,- 900.
 For the first time in eight years the four organizations are working in har- monv and may be counted upon to stand together in the possibility of trouble with the railroads. It is announced by mem- bers of the committees representing the organizations that requests for increases in pay will be made by the four organi- zations from every railroad system in the Middle West and Northwest. East ern roads entering the city will be simi- larlv dealt with.

 nations. If by that time the roads shall fail to show a disposition to treat with the individual organizations and commit tees of their own men. concerted action will be taken. The four conventions will send delegates to the national conference which will meet in St. Louis January 5. Then the committees which are not for mulating new wage scales will report upon the treatment that their requests have met with by the general managers of the railroads.
 It is the general opinion that drastic action will be unnecessary. The railroad managers are showing disposition to treat with committees of their own em- proyes and the chances are that amicanie adjustments of the wage question win be effected before the time comes to hold the St Louis meeting. While the com mittees have not decided upon the wage scale it is known that the increases de- manded will range from 10 to 15 per cent. In some instances the increases nave al- ready been formulated.

 Drip, or filtered coffee, is made in any double coffee pot fitted with one or more strainers. Allow one cupful of coffee, ground very fine, to quart of water. Measure out the coffee and heat 1t in tinuaily. This brings out the flavor. Then place the coffee in the strainer. pour the boiling water in and allow 1t to drip slowly through the coffee.

ONLY CHANGE FOR WORSE.
Strikers at Ship Owners at Marseillef
 Unvielding.

Marseilles, Dec. 1.-The only change in the strike situation has been for the worse, although no disturbance h-s oc- cured. Work at the docks has almost ceased as the crew sof the tugs have joined the strikers and the movements of foreign vessels Is difficult.
 The Prefect has seen individually a number of ship owners, including the manager of the important Mediterranean line the Messageries Maritimes, with a view to arranging a conference between the owners and representatives of tho strikers, but all the owners proved un- yielding. Admiral Rouvier took similar steps with the same result. The Messa- geries Maritimes Company has decided to discharge temporarily all their officers except the captains, first mates and chief engineers.
 The strikers held two meetings today and resolved to inform the Governments that they would furnish crews for tho steamers on condition that the vessels be used purely for the tr rnsportation of pas sengers and mails. The strikers also of fered to man a vessel and take the de- layaed passengers to Algeria without ask ing any wages.
