EDINBURGH, June 15.-The Edinburgh
magistrates are now seriously consider
ing the advisability OF banishing bar
maids from the Empire. Palace, and
other theaters in the city.
The proposal, which is said to have
had its origin in various complaints
which had been made. has caused con
sternation in theatrical circles.
The manager OF the Empire says that
he had never heard the least complaint
regarding the saloon or upper circle
bars. which are the only bars in the
theater served by barmaids.
He could not for a moment imagine
what could give cause for complaint. 1t
was untrue 10 say that the bars were
made use OF as lounges by young men.
Barmaids. he said. were found to be
more polite. Obliging. and alert in their
attendance on customers, and their pres
ence conduced to preserve order and
decorum.

~ message TO several deputies from
Sheriff Collier. al his home at Dicker-
SON There are six prisoners here at
present. and five of these are negroes
These five, it seems. had planned 10
make their escape. Sheriff Collier was
Informed OF the scheme Saturday even
ing about o'clock, by a negro. This
negro had gotten the news OF the pro-
posed escape from another. who had
just few days ago been released from
the jail.
In one Of the cells in the Jail there
is trap door to the attic. This cell
is kept locked. and no one is allowed
TO enter 1t. In some unaccountable way
the prisoners found out this fact. The
lock was opened. they entered the room
from the corridor where they were al
lowed TO exercise, one Of the negroes
climbed through the trap door, and with
an old pocket knife. managed to work
a way through the roof until a hole
was made large enough to break the
slate roof away.
As soon as thfs was accomplished. a
long and strong rope made of the led
clothing in the cells was attached to an
iron poker across two rafters This
rope was thrown to the ground Just
about the time the deputies. In response

DUBLIN. June 15.-Since the an

course Of the Gordon Bennett Automo-
bile Cup race, on July 2, question as
TO who would indemnify the local tax

For a time II looked as though the
agitation would put a stop to the race.
The Kildare county council. however,
has aow accepted a guarantee order from
the secretary of the automobile club that
the taxpayers shall not be charged.
In addition to the several thousand
soldiers. who will police the course, Il

Valuable Advice.


Some excellent advice on the handling
of men is given to young railroad officers
and embryo officers by Vice President
Loomis. of the Lackawanna Railroad.
The remarks have been incorporated in
an address which the railroad has sent
out. In IT Mr.. Loomis declares that all
men. whether their complaints be real or
fancied. are entitled to and should have
a hearing.
In handling men much trouble can
be avoided by the little things receiv-
iEg their full measure of attention. II we
take care of the details as they arise, the
few momentous questions will be COM
raratively easy to handle. We are all
lieble to error. and the employee may not
be wrong all the time, and II one of you
is placed in position OF doubt, the man
should be given the benefit of II. In other
words, put tire man before the dollar. II
he has, with exaggeration and miscon-
ception. some element of justice on his
side, give him the benefit of IT; because
you are working for a corporation which
appreciates dividends, don't think that IT
play.
'On the other hand-for the employees
are not always right nor the employers
always wrong-you should not con-
strue this as in any way interfering
with discipline. which is most necessary
for the successful handling of any con-
Germ employing large number of men.
You can be fair and impartial and yet
firm. Loyalty on the part of the fore
man will induce loyalty on the part Of
the employe. and no one. no matter who.
can hope for advancement in this or any
other company nor in any line OF bust
ness. unless he gives to It his unques-
toned loyalty" Another way of en-
phasizing the immemorial truth that a
man cannot serve two masters.
Select only such men as will, in your
estimation, merit promotions. Look well
into the persons qualifications contin-
ues Mr.. Loomis. For instance, when
an ashman is hired. question yourself
as TO whether or not he will eventually
prove TO be such man as you can trust
as a fireman, pumpman, or engineer.
Merit should always receive recognition
and promotion when the opportunity
arises, and the man who does not de-
sire promotion, who does not care
! whether he merits praise or condemna-
ton, is not a good man to have in any
4 position, at any price"
In concluding this portion OF his ad-
| dress, Mr.. Loomis made an announce
ment OF policy which. more and more
as large interests necessarily come into
the control OF intelligent and RESPONSE
BILE managers seeking for the best and
/ steadiest results, will become the preva
| lent rule:
What we want is TO perfect our or
| ganization and interest and educate
| our men in all departments in such q
way that in future 1t Will not be neces-
sary TO go outside for men TO fill any
vacancy that may occur IN our employ.
| And then follows this eminently
/ just opinion. which no lifting on union
bootstTaps can overthrow: "a man, Il
succeed today. must excel in the worl
assigned TO him. A man without cour,
| age and ambition. or a man Statistic I
| to work as few hours as possible. with
/ out the real interests of his employer.
| at heart, need never expect promotion
He is getting all he deserves"

GOLDSMITH FAVORITE
FOR RICH SUBURBAN
Despite the Fact He Has Not
Started This Year.
HIS FAST TRIALS REPORTED
He Has Been Heavily Played in the
Winter Books-His Victory Would
Be Popular One.

NEW YORK, June 15.-There is a re-
markable feature in connection with the
Suburban Handicap which is a record for
this event. The noval part is that COR
the first time in the history of the
event horse that has not started in
race for nearly year will go to the
post a strong tavorite on Thursday.
Goldsmith is that horse. For nine
months he has not made a public ap-
pearance. Reports have been rife about
his fast trials. 1t is simply due to his
work and the prestige of former great
ness that he holds today the position of
first favorite In the greatest race Of
the Eastern turf
A Mysterious Horse.
Goldsmith is a horse OF mystery. No
one except Trainer J. w. Rogers and
w c. Whitney are familiar with his
real physical condition. 1t is all sur
mise and supposition on the part of
trainers, "touts" and rail birds" as TO
whether he is ready to go the mile-and-
a-quarter Journey. No one has seen
him work fast. He has made several
mysterious trips down to Brighton Beach
and worked over the course
Despite this apparent lack of condi-
ton. his owner and his family have
backed the colt heavily to win the race.
In the winter books opened in Chicago
by James O'Leary ard kid" Weller he
was heavily played. The odds were
forced from 40 to 1 down to 4 to l. The
latest quotations by James O'Leary are
10 Goldsmith and TO / Hermis The
latter was favorite throughout the bet
ting until few days ago, whea his
defeat by Dublin and River Pirate caus-
ed him to recede in the Odds. Since then
Goldsmith has supplanted him in the
position of favorite.
