THE BITTER BITTEN.

From the New York Commercial.
 There has been a comical situation in San Francisco labor circles lately. Some time ago the Novelty theatre in that city incurred the enmity of the unions, and in consequence was boycotted. To carry on the boycott successfully, the union leaders engaged a lot of sandwich men to pa- rade up and down in front Of the theatre, the boards on their backs telling the story of the alleged unfairness.
 These walking posters were engaged at the rate of $1.5O day. and there were six of them After the first week the six formed a union. and then made up a ascalep that called for s4 day. The unions that did the hiring roared like mad. but they had to pay. or else be boy cotted by the Sandwich Mems union.

GEORGIA AND ALABAMA.

Washington Correspondent of New York
 World.
 The districts of Clayton of Alabama, and Griggs of Georgia. adjoin. The two representatives are great friends, but there is considerable jealousy between their constituents.
 One day last fall a Georgia man wan dered over to a small village in Alabama. He sat around in front of the general store and bragged about Georgia. He said everything in his state was better than anything Alabama could produce.
 By gravy!" he finally announced, I'd a mighty sight ruther be the meanest man in Geogah than the best man in all Ala bama."
 Huh" said an Alabama man, T guess you've got your ruther.

New York Police Pay.

Men who take an interest in military matters are well informed concerning the pay of officers of the rank and file of the regular army, but comparatively few persons outside of New York, perhaps, know what large salaries the police of New York receive said citizen of the borough of Manhattan
 Police patrolmen, after a few years service get about the same pay that a second lieutenant in the United States army. Police captain receive $3 300, which is the pay of a colonel of the army and the inspeetorse of police get s5, GOO year, which is almost as much as the pay of brigadier general. True, the officers Of the army below brigader general re- ceive an increase every five years until 1t reaches 40 per cent of the original pay. but even then their pay is moderate. while that of the New York police seems excessive"

ND) GERMANY is just a little more N advanced in dealing with the
 automobile question than the ohl'ed States. Over in the kaiser's do- mains It. is proposed in the reichstae to hX terms of Imprisonment for those pnlI- " or committing assaults or manslaugh- ter on the public highways by running oo"h pedestrians or vehicles with auto mobiles. Although Germany is q king dom and America a boasted renublio if would seem that the rights of the psonle are to be better cared for there than in thls country. Over here it is looked upon as an excusable misdemeanor if A man in high social position and well sunlied With cash happens to demolish an annie cart or country wagon vending it's way slowly along to town, laden with nro- duee In a great many cases the cbauf feur does not pause to enquire the extent of the damage he has done but proceeds swiftly on his way. Although it is true that more vehicles are smashed than there are people killed there is always a good chance for serious accidents to happen, and on that account small fines should be replaced by terms of actual imprisonment or else the fines should be greatly increased. millionaire does not mind paying $15 or S25 for the pleasure of running down a farmers wagon, but if he were forced to spend while in jail, can eel all his engagements, and be deprived of many pleasures of life he would think twice before speeding along public high ways at breakneck pace.
 Just now when there is much discus sion of the unreliability of war news the New York Times is being complimented for it's authentic reports concerning af- fairs in the far east The Times has exclusive control in this country of the dispatches of the London Times consid- cred by many the authortive newspa- per of the world The London Times has long been noted for it's war news. It's cor respondents are masters of their profess sion and its service is probably unsur- passed by that of any other newspaper The New York Times Is therefore very fortunate in being able to secure such excellent service, which, moreover, does not at all resemble the yellow journal style of war news.
 The all rail route from New York to Paris continues to be a dream of railroad builders and great financiers There is a powerful fascination about this project which readily accounts for the interest it has aroused on both sides of the world. It is predicted now that an achievement of the future will be tunnel under Der ing strait which will connect America with the great Siberian railroad. When this comes to pass it will be possible to get on a train in New York and make the journey to Paris with no other incon- venience than the ordinary fatigue of travel and the necessity of changing cars.

eankhead-Hohson Canvass.

Two weeks ago the contest for the presidency of the railroad commission had the right of way" said a politician, but since Colonel Bankhead and Captain Hob son began their joint debates in the Sixth district, one hears very little about the commission. I do not mean to say that the respective candidates for the commits sion are not getting some strong licks but the public is absorbed in the con- gressonal fight in Bankheads district
 'Hobson will poll a large vote, and may possibly win, but the betting in Birmingham Is on Bankhead."

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Grand opera is a good training to go somewhere else to get some fun.
 A man can forget to love a woman ouicker than she can learn not to want him to.
 A woman worries good deal all her life over the possibility of not getting as many flowers at her funeral as she deserves.
 A woman gets her enjoyment out of talking about scandals she isn't in, man out of being in scandals that aren't talk ed about.
 A girl is willing to marry a man she doesn't love because she thinks it will somehow come around the way it does in the story books.

The chIcaqo Orchestra.

''The public spirit of the citizens of Chicago in raising the edowment for the Thomas orchestra is being highly commended generally" said a music lover. ''The subscriptions to the en- dowment fund range in amounts from s1 to s10.000. Many s10.0OO subscriptions are found In the list among them being one from the wife of Thomas Nelson Page. The Pages have been living in Washing ton city for several years, but Mrs. Page formerly lived in Chicago, where her first husband, Mir. Field, made a fortune This lady has contributed literally to the de- ficits of the Thomas orchestra every year since 1t was established and her bene- factions in aid of the orchestra amount to something like s5O.OO0.
 The Springfield Republican pays Chi cago and Thomas this compliments: The ambition of Theodore Thomas to see the Chicago orchestra established, endowed and in home of it's own seems on the verge of fulfllment. Not the full three quarters of a million dollars Is vet sub- scribed for building the music hall. but more than s650,OO0 has been, and it Is re- garded as safe to say that the whole will be, and the permanency of the institution secured. Theodore Thomas ought to see this crowning result of his long and beneficent service ito the cause of music He as well as Chicago will deserve warm congratulations. MT. Thomas Is now in his sixty-ninth year. and as remarkable a master-player on the whole orchestra as ever. It was well he found his place in Chicago, which now expects to have the one perpetually endowed orchestra in the country"

By Sir Walter Scott.

By Sir Walter Scott. He is gone on the mountain,
 He Is lost in the forest, Like summer dried fountain, When our need is the sorest. The fount reappearing
 From the raindrops shall borrow; But to us comes no cheering, To Duncan no morrow. The hand of the reaper
 Takes the ears that are hoary, But the voice of the weeper
 Walls manhood in glory. The autumn winds rushing,
 Wait the leaves that are searest, But our flowers was in flushing When blighting was nearest Fleet foot on the correi,
 Sage counsel in Cumber, Red hand in the foray.
 How sound is thy stumbled. Like the dew on the mountain, Like the foam on the river, Like the buble on the fountain, Thou art gone. and forever.

 The uneasiness which was caused yes terday by the comparative neglect of the railroad stocks was relieved to-day by the revived animation of the Stand ard railroad stocks. There were one or two slight pauses in the extreme activity of the market during the day, put It was only when prices fell back slightly. Aggressive buying on each occasion reawakened the animation of the market and carried 1t to new high levels, until the final dealings, when free realizing mingled with the new ad- Vances and made the closing irreg- ular. While the industrials and spe- etalties maintained their new found prominence the demand for the stand ard stocks was commensurate with their representative importance. Gains of to ? 1-2 per cent. are general throughout the list.

 appearance of the great bull markets of a few years. ago. It is highly prob

It is certain that very large transactions in to-day's market were executed by single houses, buying or ders for single firms running as high as 5O,OOO shares of various stocks. Such dealings were especially noticeable to- day in few of the stocks in which centered the greatest activity and in which the widest advances occurred. But the movement became so general and so embracing as to carry general of @ wide participation in the from many separate and inde- pendent sources.
