COURTESY At SEA.
An Impressive Experience When
Ships Exchange SaIutations.

An Impressive Experience When
Ships Exchange SaIutatsons.
The passing of two vessels within
speaking distance in mid-ocean IS al
ways an impressive experience. Even
the most Indifferent of travellers must
feel thrill at the exchange OF sa.u-
tations in such circumstances. Inc
account of such meeting, told by
sailor on the United States training
ship Hartford, and reported IN the
New York Tribune, is of more than
ordinary interest. The HartIoru'
Farragut's old flagship, was ten days
out from Madeira. Supper was over
and the crew, 500 strong, were enjoy
ing the leisure hour in the soft light
of the full moon, when fullrigged
ship was sighted, every stitch OF can

in the Hartfords wake, but the
thickening evening haze soon hid her
from view.
Presently the watch ofiicer cried

conjectures as to what 1t could mean.
Probably the crew were short OF wa.
ter, OF someone was desperately Ill
and surgeon was wanted from our
steamer, or the vessel might have
sprung leak.
Without moments delay our cap
tain ordered the helm to starboard.
The great ship swung slowly about
and bore down upon the stranger.
Gradually the two vessels drew to-
gether until the lights shone clear
and the outlines were we'll defined.
Now the order rang out. quick and
distinct:
"Stand by to clear the lifeboat;
make ready to lower!"
The approaching vessel was now
close to our port bow, but we heard
no hail.
"Try her!" ordered our captain.
Hail her with the megaphone"

TO AIR THE CELLAR.

When cellars become musty or foul
and doors are noticed the best thing
to do is to close all the doors and
windows and burn enough sulphur to
fill the cellar room with dense fumes
Leave it closed for an hour or two,
and then open the doors and win
dows. Next whitewash the walls and
ceilings with two coats Of good white
wash. Sulphur gas is heavy and set
ties, hence care must be used to agl'
tate the air in the cellar by selecting
a windy day for the work. sulphur
fumes will destroy all kinds of germs

THE WAY SOME GIRLS EARN

would be thankful to pay nice, in
telligent girl to relieve her Of the
care for few hours each day.
If the girl wanting work lives near
(within walking or bicycling dis.

house, all she would have to do would
be to explain her willingness to do
such work to the manager and get
permission to put up written card
in the Office, giving her address and
qualifications.
Another employment would be to
sit with and read to or amuse an old
person or invalid, thus leaving the
family and friends free.
One clever girl earned several hun.
dreds of dollars last summer by an.
nouncing that she would do mending,
pressing and delicate lace washing.
She had all that she could do. The

Doctor Harvey Hickenhyphen, D. D. s. didn't need the money; he became a den- tist merely because he liked to see people squirm. Painful Dentistry was his mot to, and he couldn't be persuaded with a gun to give gas You could go to him with tears as big as hazelnuts in your eyes and beg for an application of ether or cocaine. but you might as well ask Jack-rabbit for chew of tobacco.
 The doctor would look sorrowful, press you gently back in the chair, fool around over you with stethoscope and gravely shake his head.
 You must never ask for anaesthetics," he would say. Not while you have heart action like that"
 Then he would clamp his coldest set of forceps on your tenderest tooth-the one that felt so large-take firm grip, give gouge and twist and slowly pull off the top of your head. When you finally slammed his front door and started, with one hand on your cracked jaw and the other on your luttering heart. for the nearest insurance office to increase your insurance before 1t was everlastngly too late, the doctor would sit down in the operating chair and grin for pure joy till his lips cracked
 Aside from that he didn't seem to care much for the business.
 Doctor Harvey was really cut out for perpetual motion inventor. With his money and his genius for tinkering he would have done well at that. Just back of his operating room he had workshop, where he spent all his spare hours while he was waiting for squirmers, and turned out, from time to time. some remarkable things.
 His first device of any importance was an office girl automaton, as natural as life. It met every patient at the door with as impertinent stare as ever gleamed from a glassy eye and said, in a beautifully frigid voice:
 Please be seated the doctor will wait on you presently"
 Then, if the patient was a woman, 1t looked her slowly from plumes to shoe tips and back again, with a perfectly hu- man disgust for THAT kind of clothes, and carefully placed chair where the draught would blow on the aching jaw. If the patient was man the automaton placed the chair in the draught just the same, and stared fixedly at the man S eravat till he would have given ten dollar note for one glance in mirror. Oh. Doctor Hickenhyphen knew how to rle human nature all right
 He called her Mynnyel
 He was so delighted with this triumph of mechanics that he made bouncer i. next He had always longed for bouncer and he knew just how to make one come in handy. It took him over a year to per feet it, but when he got it done it was a wonder. He kept 1t in a closet in the op- erating room and it was fixed so that, at the touch of a button, it would dash out, grab a patient right out of the chair sby the collar and seat of his trousers, make him walk Spanish to the door and throw him down the steps
 After he had this automaton working the doctor felt free to handle very large men with more scientific finish. He had never been able to get the full amount of pleasure out of husky athletes before, but now he made the pulling of a tooth for a

HARRIMAN's ULTlMATuM.
Tells the Steel Trust He Will Not Buy
 Rails at S28.

Special to the New Orleans Picayune
 New York.-Every discordant element has been eliminated in the iron and steel industry, except one. That is the disa- greement between the railroad presidents and the officials of the steel corporations as to the price of steel rails.
 F.. H. Hartman is at the head of the movement for lower prices, and he has announced to the officials of the steel corporation that the Hartman roads will not buy any rails at BPS a ton.
 MT. Hartman further told the steel corporation that he would guarantee them orders for millions of tons of rails if they would cut the price to reason able figure.
 This attitude of MT Hartman Is dis turbing to the officers of the corporation, for there is a factor now in the steel market that is in a position to take this business at lower prices.
 The stand that MT. Hartman has taken is causing some anxiety, but has not lessened the determination of the pool to maintain prices.

"One might make the mistake of supposing," said an observer that the aged citizen he had celebrated his eightieth birthday was dyspeptic pessimest, that life had lost its charm for him and that time had forgotten him in the merciless march to- ward future that is never overtaken. Such is one picture of the old professor "a mental snapshot taken from a curb stone.'

FOUND FOR MINERS.
Judge Gray's Decision the same as
Tint of Mright.

That of Wright.
Scranton, Pa, Sept. 26.-Judge Gray,
to whom was referred the controversy
of the anthracite coal miners on the
check weighman question. and which
had been previously adjudicated by
Carroll ID. Wright in favor of the
miners, has also decided the issue in
the same way. His decision was re-
ceived by both w. l.. Connell and It.
D. Nichols, president and secretary,
respectively, of the board of concllia-
ton. The former represented the
operators and the latter the miners.
Judge Grays decision in substance Is
that check weighmen shall be employ
ed whenever required by majority vote
of the miners. that the wages of the
check weighmen shall be fixed, collected
and paid by the miners in such manner
as they shall determine, the pay to come
out of the wages of all the miners en-
ployed, and that no assignment of
earnings for that purpose is necessary.
The representative of the operators
contended that the laws of Pennsylva-
mia prohibited them from making coll
lections for the payment of checlunen
from any men who did not make le-
gal assignment of the proportionate
amount to be collected.
When the board of Cancellation be-
came deadlocked on the dispute, Sec
rotary T. d. Nichols, one of the min
ers' representatives, wrote to Umpire
Wright, outlining the difficulty and
asking for an opinion.
Umpire Wright decided in favor of
the miners and suggested as way of
getting around the assignment diff
Guilty that an assignment be made a
condition of employment. The opera
tors representatives refused to accept
this decision as binding, claiming the
dispute had not been regularly sub
mitted to Mr.. Wright as an umpire.
After further discussion it was de-
cided to submit the whole checkman
award to Judge Gray for Interpretation
and to-day's decision resulted.

Chief WESTBROOK
IS NOW ON TRIAL
UPON CHARGES PREFERRED
IN THE FIRST INSTANCE BY REV
LEN. C. BROUGHToN.

DIR. BroughtOn Was HOrsewhipped
by the Chief for Giving Voice to
the Charges, But Albany Citizens
Have Taken Them Up and Are
Pressing Them Before the Police
Commits siOn-The Hearing May BE
Concluded To-day.
Albany. Ca, Sept. 26.-The trial OF
Police Chief R. N. Westbrook, under
the charges preferred against him
three months ago by prominent citi-
zens of Albany, was at last called this
morning before the Board of Police
Commissioners.
The charges were first made by DR..
Len G.. Broughton from the latter's
pulpit, and in consequence of them, Dr..
Broughton was publicly cowhided by
the chief the following day.
The trial to-day was largely con-
sumed in the settlement of preliminary
matters. There was an imposing ar
ray of counsel when the case was call
ed, and a great deal of legal sparring
resulted. Col. w. E. Wooten is lead
ing counsel for Chief Westbrook, while
Col. Jesse w. Walters is conducting
the prosecution.
A number of witnesses were exam
ined at the afternoons session, which
lasted five hours. The testimony was
not important, except in a few cases,
though the examination was not COM
pleted. other witnesses will be called
tomorrow morning and the trial may
last several days. 1t is possible, how
ever, that 1t will be concluded to-mor-
row.
There is deep interest in the hearing,
and there has been throng about the
City Hall all day. though the general
public has not been admitted to the
chamber, where the hearing is being
conducted.

AT REDUCED PAY
Some 1000 Men Have Now Returned
10 Work.

10 Work.
Chicago, Sept. 26-Nine thousand
men returned to work without union
regulations of any sort to-day when
the three Chicago branches of the In
ternational Harvester Works and the
Pullman Company reopened their
shops after shut down of two weeks.
The International Harvester Works
announced that the plants would be
operated on a basis of 57A hours a
week instead of 81, with no increase in
wages. The men accepted the ultima
tum of the company without any seri-
GUS manifestations of discomfort and
all of the old employees who could OBJ
tain work accepted the new regula-
tions.
The case of the employees of the Pull
man Company is different from that
of the Harvester Company, inasnuch
as the Pullman Company has ignored
all trade unions since the strike in it's
plant in 1894. The Pullman Company
announced to-day that it would reopen
its shops, but at a wage reduction of
10 to 20 per cent. Fewer than 1000
workers were given their former
places, but these men willingly ac-
cepted the decrease in pay.

MANY COLLECTORS OUT
Soliciting Funds to Keep the Strike
On Its Feet,

Fall River, Mass, Sept. 2s-The
tenth week of the strike of textile
workers has opened with renewed ac-
tivity on the part of the labor leaders.
Preparations are being made to send
out fifty more women and men, in ad-
dition to the fifty that have been col
lecting funds through the New Eng
land and Middle Atlantic States The
entire Middle West and West is to be
canvassed. Within a few weeks there
will be 200 or more collectors on the
road. One hundred of these will be
supplied with credentials from the
American Federation of Labor and the
balance will be at work nearer home.
The present collectors have brought in
nearly $4,000 within five weeks.
The manufacturers and labor leaders
are willing to confer, but neither side
will take the initiative. Both factions
appear to be as determined to main
tain their respective positions as at the
beginning of the strike and there is
no signs of settlement in sight.
