THE SUBMARINE FIGHT.

The Baltimore Sun says: The sub
marine fight is the latest novelty in
the news. A Tampa (Fla.) dispatch
relates that two divers, John Bastonias
and Nicholas Andreas, fought desper-
ately on the bottom of the gulf, 81 feet
below the surface of the water. They
fought for the possession of a huge
sponge that each claimed to have
found first. After they were brought
to the surface, wounded and bleeding,
they decided to carry the fight into the
courts. When Andreas brought the
matter up before the Tampa court offic-
ials they were Of the opinion that they
had no jurisdiction. Is there any law
extends out to sea, beyond the three
mile limit that defines a country S
shores? Of course. the admiralty laws
cover conduct aboard ship; but it seems
that there is no law that extends to
the bottom of the sea, and men can
without hindrance fight there to their
hearts content.

OF your own peculiar gifts and virtues

neighbors. Be cheerful. Fulfill your

HOW ABOUT YOUR NEWSBOY?

How much do you owe your news boy? If you owe him anything, you should make it point to square up with him before Christmas, as he de- serves all that Is coming his way. It is an old saying that if a person pays not his paper boy, he will pay no one, and there is much truth in the decla- ration. You may think that what you owe is small but it looks big to the ''newsie" and he will feel greatly dis appointed if it is not in his pocket on Christmas eve. Out in all kinds of weather and generally knocked about to a considerable extent. their lot is anything but pleasant at its best. Pay up at least. and if you drop him q few cents extra you will send him away with his face beaming with smile that is good to look at.

Will be Ready for New Law.

Local railroads. be able to meet
the law which goes into effect on the
first of next March, prohibiting rail-
road operators from working more
than nf1e hour trick in twenty four
hours. While the operators will be
allowed to work nine hours the eight
hour trick will be maintained as the
standard so as to equally divide the
time between three men,
Additional operators are being hired
by the Pennsylvania almost daily. The
eight hour trick has been the standard
on the Pennsylvania for some time,
but owing to the fact that the requir-
ed number of operators could not be
secured many of them were required
to work as high as sixteen hours.
The new telegraph school at Bed.
ford, opened last month, is in full
blast and it will be ready to turn out
big supply of operators, being thor
ougnly versed in this particular phase
of the railroad business, about the
middle of February and by the first OF
March they will all be placed.
The Pennsylvania Railroad employs
about 5000 operators.and about 700 ad-
ditional men will be needed to meet
with the full requirements of the law
About thirty additional men will be
required on the Philadelphia division
alone. Knowing that the school at
Bedford will not be able to supply al.
the additional operators needed some
private tutoring is being done at the
various towers along the lines.
Aside from the school at Bedford
the Philadelphia and Reading has one
in operation at Reading, the New York
Central one at Albany and the Nickel
Plate one in Erie.

NOVEMBER BRINGS
DISPIRITING WEATHER

The weather conditions were exceed
ingly dispiriting yesterday, in marked
contrast with those of the day before.
The rain made it necessary to suspend
work on the foundation of the sol
diers' monument and on other build
ing operations about town.
The weather i'll the main has been
pleasant thus far this fall. 1t would
not be at all ont of the ordinary. how
ever. if we were to have frequent rains
with cold raw winds from now on.
OF course after few weeks India
summer will be due but we have learn
ed from experience that Indian sum-
mer does not always mean wealth of
sunshine and weather conditions that
bear much resemblance to summer.
Meanwhile it is worthy of note that
farm work is not very we'll advanced.
One is little surprised to see that
there is still so much corn to husk.
Altogether there is a suspicion that
our friends of the farm may expert
ence cold fingers before the fall crops
are all housed.
