ADJUSTMENTS.
sOUsA IN. SOCIETY.

Sonsa's many years Of success have
made him more or less the prey Of
those society leaders who give dinners
and receptions to persons; not for what
they are, but for what they can do OF
course, through long practice, Sousa
has been able to separate such social
tnpressarios from those sincere hos
tesges who do not merely invite him as
lion" and expect him to roar" for
her guests. One of the former kind
sent Sousa a cordial note on the occas-
ion of his visit to dublin. during his
recent European tour. asking him to
be present that evening lat very in
formal little dinner, to meet few
persons" etc. Sousa scented the char
acter OF the invitation, and replied po-
lite1y, saying that he had already ac-
cepted an Invitation to dine The
pressing hostess was not content, how
ever, and wrote again, saying: III
only we could have your company for
a little while-if not for dinner, then
at least after the concert" Imagine
the dismay OF the lady when she re-
c ::si the following rply from sousa:
Dear Madam: I note with pleasure
so FAR asked fifty of them. and they
are delighted at the prospect Of being
with you. I shall ask the rest of the
company during the intermission at
the concert. There are sixty of them
altogether. With thanks my dear
Madam. obediently yours. John Philip

clare that none but members in
good standing in the several unions
shall be employed"
Messrs. Parry and Post may be-
wall such an understanding between
capital and labor, but the working
men and employers of the Great
Lakes have been operating under
these agreements for more than six
years, and they have proved so sat-
isfactory to all that there is seldom
any trouble In getting together before
navigation opens each year.
The public should appreciate such
condition of affairs. The labor
question on the inland seas has been
solved 50 far as those concerned on
both sides are involved. When navi-
cation is opened there can be no
strike to interrupt commerce or in
dustry. The city of Duluth il in a
position to laud such Industrial tran
guilty. and to suggest to other en-
ployers Of labor the advantage of the
joint agreement plan between capital
and labor.
We do not hear any talk among
the vessel interests of wanting to
run their own business" don't want
to be dictated to-" or any Of the old
excuses against recognising union
labor. They passed through that
stage several years ago. Now they
And it much more agreeable and sat
isfactory to deal with committees
than with individual workingmen

their conditions of toll.

assured1y given us all a lesson In the
real practical and sensible operation
OF an up-to-date trade union.

Inquiries about tho weather over
the phone? WELL I should say sol"
says the man In the Philadelphia Re-
cord. They come too fast to keep
count of-at least we haven't attempt
ed to count them yet-and hardly an
hour passee that we are not called up
to tell what it looks like from six to
4S hours ahead" Thus spoke the man
at the weather bureau in the central
post office, whose duty 1t is to answer
inquiries. Perhaps the most import
ant business We do over the phone Is
keeping the produce and commission
temperatures. From this source alone
We have between rs and 80 calls q
day, most of them after noon. The
fruit and produce men display their
goods, and even store them, on the
sidewalks and in other exposed places
along Dock street, and toward evening
they want to know If 1t is safe to
leave them out all night or if drop

phone bell. Excuse me moment"
he said, as he went to the instrument
and took down the receiver. When
he had put 1t to his ear and had lis
tened a moment, he said:

"Yes; this is the Weather Bureau"
then he paused. "No; I'm not the

THAT was woman said the

ceiver, who wanted to give her
poodle dog bath, but was afraid the
weather might change and give him
cold. good many inquiries of that
sort seem to think it necessary to tell
us their troubles and take us into
their confidence In order to get our
heartiest Cooperation. Not, a few of
them resent it when our. prediction
is contrary to what they want, and
sometimes they try to argue with us
to get US to change it,4just as. though
We were ordering the weather instead
Of merely watching it. Some of them
are so eloquent that It's q great temp
