Five Stories of Tilden.


The great lawyer, great Democrat
and great man, Samuel J. Tilden. had a
touch of humor. at times Querulous in
its tone, and at other times he could
be funny without meaning TO be. He
was an expert judge OF wines, and his
cellar was choicely stocked. When din
ing out. however. he had a little way
of measuring by the taste of his guest
and ordering accordingly. The late
Colonel John r. Fellows noted this
trait. and once when dining with Mr.
Tnden saw that as usual the Sage Of
Greystone had ordered a small bottle
of an ordinary brand for his plate and
a very choice vintage for himself. Mr..
Tilden was called away from the table
for a moment and the colonel deity
shifted the bottles. When Tilden lift
ed his pint to pour out the wine his eye
quickly noted the difference. but he got
out of the difficulty nicely. Here.

uNIOI'S FIRST FIRE

Serious Fires

The Union Fire Company. OF tho
Twelfth ward. responded TO its first
alarm at noon yesterday. It was from
box No 1853. the only one sounded dur
ing the day. and was caused by fire
in the store Of w. G. Evans. Conrad
and Union streets. The members OF
the Union Company eXtinguished the
blaze with a few buckets of water. The
loss was about $50.
The members of the infant company
pulled the hose wagon to the scene. In
order to respond 10 alarms with more
dispatch a pair of horses were hired
for the balance OF the day. but they
were not needed.
There were but three other fires re-
ported. The Washington chemical

Hardly has the recent strike Of engi-
neens at The Diamond State Steel Com
pany's plant been amica.bly settled,
when another is started, and one which
not only involves the engineers, but
the entire body of men employed in tine
plant. The steel company has formed
a new pay scale, which went into effect
on July /. Under the new system the
men were paid on the first Saturday
after the 18th, and the 30th or 31st of
every month. Under this. new rule the
men had too much money held back
on them, and at the end of a year. The
total amount would be equal TO three
weeks pay. This the employees object
to- as they think a weeks pay is
enough to hold back on them.

Kirl1wcod Park along the Brandywine,
and was largely attended by men from
every department in the mills. A COM
