How She Caught Him.
From the New York Times.


Perhaps he really didn't know how late
1t was when he reached the little apartment
In Harlem. At the click of the latch key in
the reception room door his wife awoke.
She didn't know how late it was either but
she knew 1t was later than usual, and she
determined she would know in the morning.
A very sleepy voice said:
Ned, dear. won't you please stop that
clock? 1t annoys me SO 1 can't sleep
Then Ned fumbled about in the dark not
wishing to provoke a curtain lecture by
lighting the gas, and the ticking was over
for the night.
Next morning at breakfast he was abb
sorbed in the newspaper, and not In the
mood for conversation, especially about the
doings of the night before. But his wife be-
gan mildly:
did you have a good time at the club,
dear?'
'Oh, yes" was the bland reply.
Med, what time was it when you came
in, do you Think" asked the wife, sweetly.
as if it didn't make mite of difference,
anyhow.
ooh, little after H." was the laconic an
swer.
Then she administered her sugar-coated
pill, with her most ingenious air, of cource
Strange, Ned, isn't it! You remember
stopping the clock, dear, don't you? Well,
1t hasn't gone tick since then, am sure,
and it registers ten minutes before 81!

Guido the Germans in slowness
The laws of Germany take good care Of
the laborer. The state has insurance COM
panies for the sick and the aged, and acct
dents are well regulated. The people of
late years have been paying attention to
labor matters, and the capitalists vie with
each other in treating their hands well
Many OF the factories have free baths for
their employees, such as 1 saw in the Loewe
works. Many have cheap eating rooms

Ing dinner Of soup. bread and meat for
about 9 cents to such as wish it.

Electricity in Germany.
They tell me that there is little chance
for our big electrical companies in
Germany. I had a chat with the d.
rector OF one OF the lead1ng electrical eS-
adjustments the other night. The man
asserted that the Westinghouse had lost
money last year and that they had little
hopes Of doing much in competition with
the German combinations.
Germany is the most advanced Of all Eu-
ropean countries along electrical lines. It's
chief cities are already equipped with cleo
trio lights and electric cars. It's factories
are up to date and they have the latest in
ventfons They have abundant capital and
connections which enable them to practi-
cally control the trade.
There are now four groups of electrical
manufacturers here, and their capital is
about half a billion marks, or S125, 900, 900.
Each of these groups Is backed by banking
and business interests which are ready to
push 1t. One, for instance, has the Ores
dener Bank and the Bleichroders who aid
in placing the stock of the company among
their clients who give it financial support
and who are ready to organize companies
which may support it without being direct
ly contested with it.
Suppose, for instance, the company
ascertains that the horse car lines
of Buenos Ayres can be proftably
changed to electrical lines The financial
buy the lines and build them and the bank
ers will place the stock. They will also
see that the electrical company has the
contracts for furnishing the supplies, so
that one company works into the hands of
the other, and they all work for the good
Of the various institutions and men con-
nected with them. This is the case with
& Halskey, the General Electric Company
and the Shuckerts. as we'll as the Union.
So far all the companies have been making
money. FRANK G. CARPENTER

Radium, the Miraculous.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
That magical substance radium Is bring
ing us rapidly nearer to the central mys-
teries of matter and force. If there was
any one law that seemed immovably estab-
lished it was that energy could not be Gre
ated, but could merely be changed from
one form into another. To the casual eye
radium seems to create energy. 1t was
known from the first to emit light in
definitely, and now 1t Is said to radiate
heat month after month without chemical
or molecular change. OF course. it is not
more irregular for a substance to emit heat
than light, since each is a manifestation OF
force, and force has no business to be de-
yeloped from nothing. But the idea of the
spontaneous generation of heat seems more
extravagant to us because we are accus-
toned to associate heat with steam engines,
trolley cars and other agents of mechanical
power, and the idea of running locomo-
tive by putting chunk of radium under
the boiler without a fire strikes us as
parallel to the scheme of curing rheuma-
tism by pocketing potato.

IN LABOR CIRCLES

Success has crowned the efforts of the
officers of the Central Labor Union, which
is affiliated with the American Federation
OF Labor. and the officials Of the Southern
Expanded Metal Company to adjust the
difficulty which arose between them several
weeks ago, and. as a result, building op-
erations in this city are progressing very
smoothly. The bone OF contention was
the employment by the metal company of
sixteen Knights of Labor metal fathers In
the installation of the fireproo1ng of the
Portner Hotel annex at 18th and V streets.
Persons conversant with affairs will
remember that the Central Labor Union
made its first attempt to bring the metal
company to terms by calling all workmsn
affiliated with 1t off the structure, declaring
that they should not work beside the metal
fathers owing allegiance to the Knights of
Labor. As soon as August Getz & Son. the
contractors for the work, were informed
Of the difficulty the fathers were ordere
from the building, and the Southern Ex-
banded Metal Company was instructed to
proceed with the fulfillment of its subcon-
tract. That company at first was inclined
to look with disfav0r upon the action of the
Central Labor Union, and asserted its right
to employ workmen Irrespective Of their
afiliation. This caused further complica-
tons, and for time 1t was thought the
difficulty would terminate In a general
strike on buildings on which the metal
companys men were employed. This rad
ical step was not taken, and subsequently
proceedings were Instituted in the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia by the
metal company, which petitioned the court
t. grant an Injunction restraining August
Getz & Son. the contractors from interfer-
ing with metal workmen
The affair was aired In the court with the
result that Judge Hagner refused to grant
q permanent Injunction and dismissed the
proceedings. Immediately thereafter me-

Hotel Porters' Wireless Te1egraphy.
Iabo,,ehere in London Truth,


have just made a discovery. knowledge
OF which may be of considerable value to
travellers and tourists. 1t is that there ex-
lists among hotel porters on the continent
system of wireless telegraphy by which
the characteristics of visitor in the
matter of tips are communicated from one
hotel to another. The medium of communi-
cation Is the hotel label pasted on visitors
luggage, and the code is formed by vary
ing the angle at which the label Is placed
In one position the label means that the
guest Is worth cuftivating and may be re-
lied on for liberal acknowledgment of serv-
Ices rendered; in another that special at
tention bestowed upon him viii be entirely
wasted. How far this system prevails
cannot say, but am satisfied that 1t exists.
Travellers, therefore, who find themselves
treated with studied indifference by the
servants In the hotels they visit should lose
no time In cleaning the labels of their
trunks.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-03-28

could not say-a practical concession that
ours were the best. During my stay in the
factory the men left for lunch. 1 noticed
that each recorded his time with Roches-
ter time recorder. In other rooms German
improvements have been added to some of
our machines and in some l found foremen
who could speak English and who had been
TO America.
Tea at One Cent a Pint.
L cannot describe the cleanness of this
factory. 1t Is like a Dutch kitchen. There
is no dirt anywhere. the dust being carried
away through pneumatic tubes by drafts.
Even the foundries and tool grinding roms
are free from dirt. and in many respects
the arrangements are better than in our
American factories
The company has shower baths for its
workmen. 1t has a surgeon to treat them
for accidents, and 1t supplies its men at
noon with tea in bottles at one cent a pint
This Is to keep them from drinking beer
for the managers think that they do better
work without beer for lunch. l was tod
that the tea had become very popular. and
that 1880 out of the 1900 employees now
take tea instead of beer with their midday
meal. The tea Is prepared in tiled
kitchen, being brewed In great kettle

bottle being corked like a beer bottle.
A Talk With an American Expert
was shown through the factory by one
OF Its American experts. Mr.. ]. S. Paaske.
who had been brought over to help the
Germans capture the American trade
This man Is Norwegian. who got
his technical education and training
in the United States. and who is now
travelling for this company selling its ma
chine tools. He knows the United States
and Europe well, and Is acquainted with
almost every factory In Germany. Said
he:
The Germans are now making better
machine tools than the Americans. Our
tools are stronger and more beautifully
finished and better suited to the German
market. Wages are lower and it costs us
less to make them II the United States

charge equal duties we would flood tho

Don't Like Modern Machinery.
''How about the American machines. Mr..
Cotton?" I asked. Can you get the Ger
mans to work them to their full capacityr'
mo. They don't want to increase the
product. They think the work that is left
over for today must be done tomorrow, and
the more they do today the less work they
will have tomorrow. They try to delay.
rather than to hurry, and this Is so through
out the German factories. We had one ma
chine that seemed to me to be running as
fast as in the United States. but, somehow
or other, 1t did not produce the same re-
suits. watched the man. and found that
he was cutting only hairline at time
when he should have been taking off
quarter of an inch"
1.-The German laborers have not the same
incentives to work that we have, contln-
ued the assistant manager. The German
system of employment Is bad. Everything
here is done by piece work. and the price
is gagged by what a man can do In day.
If he docs much more than has been ex-
pected. mis- employers lower the price, and
the result is he has to work twice as hard
for the same money. There Is little chance
to rise The common laborer seldom be-
comes the head of the shop. and as result
there is an unexpressed enmity between the
laborers and their masters.
Wages and Hours Of Work.
"Give me some idea of wages" said l.
1.-THE ordinary mans wages are from I'D
TO 12k cents an hour. or from 81 to 81 20
for ten hours work. Women get cents an
hour or about 80 cents a day."
In this factory I was surprised at the In
telligence and good looks Of the employees.
Many of them speak English and they are
on the whole better educated than men
doing the same work in the United states.
They wear blue cotton smockS which but
ton tight up at the threats and keep the
suits underneath clean. I am told they
are excellent workmen and in some re-
spects superior to men of the same class in
the United States, although they do not
work as fast.
Indeed, the matter of locality seems to
