OLD TIME PORTER RUNNING ON
THE PANHANDLE TELLS OF
THE TROUBLES MEMBERS OF
HIS PROFESSION HAVE.

1t is probable that the porers on all
Pennsylvania trains entering Rich
mond, will ask for an increase in
wages within the next few weeks
Under present conditions porters are
about the poorest paid men in the rail
road service, they depending largely
upon the tips" for their renumera-
ton for services rendered. In fact the
tipping" system has become so gener-
al upon all the railroad lines of the
country that in two instances rail
road companies through their porters
were making too much money and
the actual salaries were cut three
dollars on the week.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
an old porter on the road and who
makes daily trips through Richmond,
said that the majority of the travel
ers tipped" the sums varying from
ten cents TO one dollar. He howev-
er said that on many trips the port
ers We're up against it proper, and
hardly a single tip would be forth
coming from the passengers.
On such trips he said. actual wages
earned were meager and as the re-
suit it cut in greatly upon the months
earnings.
Instead of using tips as surplus
earnings and spending money the
custom is reversed among railroad
porters they using their salaries for
spending money while the tips are
saved in case the recipient of such
is of that turn OF mind. What action
will be taken by the Pullman COM
pany and the railroad officials in re-
gard to the matter of the increase is
not known, but the porters hope to
get quite a neat sum in addition to
that which they are now drawing

most successful law ever passed.

who has not been subnoenaed regu-

become immune from prosecution, and
under which examination of persons
connected with corporation does not
render immune corporations by which
the persons may be employed This

Caught Whiskers in Safe.

In locking his safe the other night

George Edgemont, paperhanger who
lives at Jefferson street and Hermit
age lane, Manayunk. shut the safe
door upon his flowing whiskers and
was held until released by his daugh-

Edgemont had been out collecting
bills during the day. Returning to his
office he opened his safe and placed
the money in it. He then threw the
door shut, catching the end of his
beard in the door. In the excitement
incident to his odd predicament he
forgot the combination and so could
not release himself With his chin

by his daughter, who came to find
what had delayed him. The safe was
