WATERTOWN JOTTlNGS.
Owners of String of Cattle Wrestled
 for Second Prize.

One of the interesting features of the Waterbury fair on Wednesday was the awarding of the first, second and third prizes for the largest string of cattle from one town. The first prize was granted to a farmer from North, field and when the second prize was to be granted it was found that a man from Roxbury by the name of Beards- ley had the same number of cattle as s. H. Peck of Watertown. At this a dispute arose as to who should be granted the prize. The judge wished to toss coin and decide in that man. ner; but that was not satisfactory to both parties; so finally each consented to decide the question by a wrestling match between the two owners. A short tussle took place immediately, in which MT Peck got the worst of the argument, therefore the pize went to Nr Beardsley.
 Charles Kilbourn, who had just re- covered from a long siege of illness, has had a relapse and is now quite ill.

CONFERENCE BEGINS l
President Tn Council With
 Operators and Miners.
SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE HOPED FOR.
Attorney General Knox the Only Member of the Cabinet Present. Labor Commissioner Wright
 Also Participates.

WASHINGTON, Oct 3.-The confer ence between President Roosevelt, the coal operators and miners representa- tives opened at the temporary White House shortly after II o'clock today.
 The only member of the cabinet pres ent was Attorney General Knox. Car roll D. Wright, commissioners of labor, who recently made an investigation of the strike situation, was also in attend ance by invitation of the president.
 Those present representing the opera tors at the conference were Presidents Fowler of the New York, Ontario and Western railroad, Truesdale of the Lackawanna, Olyphant of the Dela- ware and Hudson, Thomas, chairman of the board of directors of the Erie; the independent operator, John Markle, of the firm of G. B. Markle & Go. and President Baer of the Reading.
 The strikers were. represented by President Mitchell, head of the miners union, and the three district presidents Duffy, Fahy and Nichols.
 While nothing can yet be ascertained regarding the result of the meeting, there is feeling of hope among those close to the president that it is going to result in a settlement of the strike. This hope is based on the acuteness of the situation and the necessity that ex- ists for a settlement, along with the known determination of the president to bring about a settlement of the great labor controversy if such a thing be possible.
 The special train with the presidents of the anthracite coal roads arrived in Washington shortly after 9 o'clock last night. They did not leave their cars until morning, and their train was switched to a siding in the yards of the Baltimore and Ohio road for the night.
 National President John Mitchell, Thomas D. Nichols, president of dis trict No. ?; Thomas Duffy, president of district No. z, and. John Fahy, presi- dent of district No. 9 of the United Mine Workers of America, reached the city at 12:50 a. m. Mitchell and his colleagues declined to have anything to say regarding the coal strike confer ence. President Mitchell said he did not care to be questioned or referred to in any way in connection with the meeting. +.~s.

A Pullman Conductor Raises an Elm

A Pullman Conductor Raises an En-
 bargo by Bees. -a>. % A swarm of bees settled down in the yard of the Union station, yesterday afternoon, and for short time threat ened to hold up traffic on the entire system. The insects stung everything and everyone in sight, and had it not been for a certain Pullman car conduc- tor who evidently had been bee farmer before he took to railroading, the bees might still be holding up the road, and the New York Central and Boston and Albany might be bringing its trains into the city over the Living ston avenue bridge.
 Where the bees came from nobody knows, but the queen was with them, and that was enough for them. When bees decide to swarm it makes no diff ference what place the queen selects, her subjects follow regardless of con, sequences. This particular queen seemed to fancy the southern part Of the railroad yard near the American Express Co.'S building and among the network of passenger tracks. The StatiOnmaSter was at his wits end. An elderly, side-whiskered em- plOye of the passenger department, who stood at safe distance, Darehead- ed and in, his shirt sleeves, offered plen- ty of suggestions, but as he was un. willing to put them into operation him. self, and nobody else would, the dead lock continued. Passengers from in. coming trains mistoOk the gentleman in his shirt sleeves for the owner Of the bees, who had chased them from their hive III the country, in his haste forgetting hat and coat. and several fa hof bo fr Ion ashamed of himself to be so careless about his bees and put everyone to so much trouble.
 Get big rubber sheet,'' said some body, and wrap it around the whole swarm; then you can carry them away
 Turn the hose on them and wash them out" suggested another 'Send an engine close up to smoke ] 'em out with soft coal, advised an- other.
 All these plans might have been good. but men were lacking to put them into execution The bees were still rendezvousing when the Pullman car conductor walked up. .'The thing l to do," said he, lis to wait a little un- l til those bees get settled, and then hive them"
 All right, said the crowd, Tets see I you do it.
 1 But the conductor was man who ] knew whereof he spoke. After secur- ing 9 large wooden box with cover he carried it over to the swarm and boldly climbed upon the roof of the shed. To eyerybody's surprise the i bees did not molest him even when he took a long stick and began to poke among them. Soon he got the queen on the end of the stick, and slowly and carefully moved her to the box which stood alongside. The bees followed, pouring into the box like grains of sand, and in a few minutes all but a few stragglers were inside. Thereupon I the conductor clapped on the cover and walked off to his train with the box in l his arms.
 What are you going to do with them?" he was asked.
 Sell 'em, of course, he answered. "A swarm of bees is valuable property nowadays, and I guess nobody else around here wants 'em.''-Albany Ar l gus.

Delay of Few Days.
 New York, Oct 3.-It was confident ly expected that John T. Brush would announce yesterday the names of the men who will make up the New York team next season, but he did not. do so. When seen in the headquarters of the National league in the St James building, MT Brush said:
 T did intend to make public to-day the names of our players for next sea- son, but an. unseen circumstance has, arisen which compels me to delay the announcement for a few days. There two more contracts that l desire to have in hand and which I thought would reach me yesterday morning, but have been disappointed. l talk ed with Manager McGraw on the mat ter, and we concluded that it would not be good policy to make any an- nouncement until we have everything settled. I am sure that inside of a week all arrangements will be com pleted, and then we will let the pub lie know all.
 MT Brush was asked if Mathewson had informed him that he would play in New York next year. MT Brush said:
 T regret to say that he has not. I know nothing more about MatheWson than what I have read in the papers. hope. however, that he will decide to remain with us"
 MT Brush started for his home in Indianapolis at 1 p. m. yesterday. before leaving he said he might be gone a few weeks although he may run on here at any time. In the meantime McGraw will have charge of the clubs affairs.
 George Davis left Chicago for New York on Wednesday night and before leaving the crack shortstop said he would not jump his contract With the play in New York next season lie IS said to have received fat offer from McGraw, but unless some arrangement could be made whereby he could get his release from Comiskey, he would stick to Chicago.

Second Class Mall Privilege.

The Western Editor, published at
Omaha in the interests of the news
paper business, seems to be sympathiz-
ing with the opposition to the post
office department in the latter's fight
against certain papers that abuse the
privilege of second class postage rates.
We like the Western Editor. 1t is
helpful in its suggestions to the
country newspaper man and we dislike
to see it lining up in defense of the
great impositions on the department
and on the people. The department
is engaged in shaking OFF a leech that
has fastened itself on the postal system
and it should have the support of all
good citizens and of the press.
The privilege of sending out papers
anywhere in the United States at the
rate of one cent a pound is favor
granted the publisher by the govern.
ment. It should be acknowledged
that that price does not pay the cost Of
arrying the papers, but this act is
anne by the government because it is
friendly to the dissemination of in
f3imation such as real newspapers and
periodicals publish. When a paper
is not inside the class, when its object
is primarily to advertise its publisher
merchandise, when its subscription list
is mostly bogus, or for other good and
sufficient reasons it is thrown out of the
faford list and has to pay enough

Stock Market Tips.

Does 1t ever occur to those who fol-
low journalistic tips on the stock mar
ket that they are written by men who
find It worth their while to follow an
arduous and moderately remunerated
profession and that therefore the tip
ster obviously cannot trust to his tips
for a livelihood?
Is 1t conceivable that any one whose
judgment Of the movements of securi-
ties was sufficiently trustworthy to
makeseven' the majority Of his shots
bullseyes would waste his time by
compiling paragraphs for newspapers?
Would he not rather spend half an
hour or SO in the morning at the end
Of telephone instructing his broker
to buy and sell and devote the rest Of
his day to the graceful consumption Of
the boundless fortune that his knowl-
edge and acumen would, ex hypothesi,
inevitably provide?
And tips from stockholders come un-
der the same suspicion, for 1t is not
reasonable to suppose that, one who
really had tips worth following In his
possession would utilize them as bats
for clients who reward his efforts with
beggarly half crown per cent-Corn-
