CITY HALL LIFT MAKES
MANY TRIPS EACH DAY

The city hall. which has one OF the
most ponderous passenger elevators In the
city which is also one OF the busiest of
lifts, for there is a steady stream OF
people who keep the big car bobbing from
floor to floor and give the elevator man
a chance to Increase the abnormal devel-
opment of his right arm. manipulating the
wheel by which the machine Is controlled.
once in every few months the elevator
man keeps a tally just FOR his own amuse-
ment OF the trips he makes I'm a day.
The latest account shows 346 trips ex-
elusive OF the noon hour and that would
add about 80 more.
Each trip the passengers vary, OF
course. anywhere from one 10 a dozen,
but the average Is probably about four.
so il can be seen that a good many people
visit the upper floors OF tho city hall In
the course OF a day, for most Of the live
Hest offices. save the marriage license
health and registration offices above the
street floor.

TRICK OF DELEGATE DROVE
OPERATORS FROM THEIR KEYS

st. Petersburg, Dec. Communication
with the outside world ceased at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when n strike was
called in the general telegraph office.
BY a ruse, however. the management
succeeded In reopening the cable shortly
after 6 o'clock. At 3 o'clock, when tho
strike went into effect, many of the
operators were reluctant to leave, but a
walking delegate smashed a bottle Of
hydrochloric acid on the floor and the
fumes soon drove the men from their
keys.
The Danish cable Operators remained
at their posts, but the receiving clerks
having fled messages were refused for
three hours. Troops occupied the build
ing. but the employees who were willing
TO work were terrorized and were afraid
TO return.
NJ. Sevastianof, superintendent OF Posts
and T~elegraphs. declares that the govern
ment has ample evidence 10 prove that
the strike is n political conspiracy planned
by the revolutionaries. the demand OF the
men for the reinstatement OF the dis
charged leaders OF tho Telegraphers'

operators and other employees OF the SER

WHAT IS GOING ON AT the
UNIVERSITY ON THE HILL

Yesterday morning Harry Ehmke, @'
OF silver Creek, n. Y, was taken to the
hospital after a brief illness OF append
cltis. Last Sunday, the day after the
Dartmouth game, I'm which Ehmke played
as right halfback for Brown, he com
planned to his friends Of not FEELING We'll
After "A brief Illness OF three days bhmke =
condition seemed TO warrant his removal
IN the Rhode Island hospital. where he
was operated upon Thanksgiving day.
Ehmke has taken "A large interest In
athletics since ne has been at Brown, as
did his brother, who held the ttle or be
ing the champion wrestler In college While
he was here. Last year, when the Brown
baseball team was In need or a pltchcr'
Ehmke was coached into form and made
a valuable addition TO the stan OF twlrl-
ers. He pitched some very good games,
the ffteat- notable As4Eas- Observation-Disclosures
lumbia. He has played the two years ne
has been I'm college on the varsity foot-
ball team. His weight as well as speed
made him a valuable man TOR the right
halfback position. and he has played a
good. consistent game this season In that
position. He was a reliable ground gain
er for Brown and rarely failed To make
his distance in any OF the games that he
has played.
Inquiry at the hospital this morning
elected Information that Ehmke had
passed a comfortable night and was do
ing we'll this morning. As he Is a big
fellow with a strong constitution, his
chances Of recovery are the best. II moth

Ii will po remembered hat Ehmke was
forced TO leave the game last Saturday.
lie received n terrible battering for the
aggressive game that he played and ap-

was taken out. This may or may not
have had anything 90 DO with the cause
OF his illness. IL frequently happens that
football men are sometimes taken with
appendicitis just after n hard game, as
was Hooper. tho Dartmouth centre, W
years ago. Ehmke will probably never
play football again. and for that reason
Brown is extremely unfortunate In losing
the services OF so faithful n worker for
the Brown football team. Mr.. Ehmke Il
