POLITENESS IN BERLIN.
Flattery Necessary to Sell Goods Les
son One Clerk Learns.

Special Cabegram to The Star
BERLIN, September N.-The commercial
court here this week awarded damages to
a shopman who brought action against his
employer for wrongful dismissal. 1t ap-
pears that the plaintiff, according to some
of the customers of the business where he
was engaged, had been too polite. Several
ladies complained and the employer dis
charged him without notice. The plaintiff
swore in the witness box that 1t was neces-
sary for shopmen to make complimentary
remarks to lady customers. such as What
a pretty blouse" or That's a charming
hatr or a polite reference to personal ap-
pearance. In fact. many women would go
somewhere else unless the shopman was
complimentary.
Those customers who caused his dismiss
sal were probably disappointed because he
was not complimentary enough and took
revenge by reporting that he had been too
familiar. The court which is composed of

FAVORITES SWEPT
GRAND CIRCUIT CARD

COLUMBUS. Ohio, September 27.-Pro-
nounced favorites swept the Grand Circuit
racing card yesterday. From speculative
standpoint the day was the quietest of the
meeting. Maj. Delmar made an assault on
the track trotting record of 2.02, made last
year by Sweet Marie, and failed. He tired
perceptibly in the stretch. His time 2.044
is the best made by a trotter anywhere this
year.
General Watts dropped a heat of the
Horse Review Futurity to Miss Densmore
by making a break when he was started
for the lead at the half. He trotted all the
way in the fourth heat and won in good
time.
The Leading Lady was scheduled to win
the two-year-old division of this futurity,
and made a 2-to-1 choice over the en-
tire field, from which she won without ap-
parent effort The race for the place be-
tween Justo and ORC Lambert was keen.

purse of 81 600 by the directors Of the team
His bunch then turned in and won the first
game of the series from Columbus, the
Association champions.
The American Association teams have
stirred up trouble for themselves by play
semi-professional clubs which are harbor-
ing outlaw players. Their cases have al
ready been brought before the national
commission and 1t is likely that some
stiff fines will be imposed.
BY way of a farewell the Clevelands shut
out the New Yorks yesterday. The sea-
sons series between the two was a walk
away for the westerners, who won fifteen
games out of twenty-five. The heart
breaking fight for first place goes grimly
on. The Philadelphias and Detroits are
playing for their lives and each won again
yesterday, the Philadelphia making it two
out of the three from the White Sox and
the Detrots making it three straight IN
Boston. The Browns defeated the Ma
tionals.
The Milwaukee and Minneapolis clubs
play the Independent clubs in Chicago
this week, and President O'Br!en of the
American Association has given orders
to the heads of these clubs not to permit
those players to use the uniforms of their
respective organizations Jim Callahan,
very wroth about the matter and
said: Il think that it is a cheap piece of
work for the American Association to try
to prevent the players from making little
money after the season has closed. We
anticipated this sort of work several days
ago and Immediately got busy and secured
suits for all OF the men. The people do
not care for the uniforms SO long as the
ball players are In them. This act also
shows what love the minor leagues and
national commission have for the outlaw
leagues. They probably thought that if
they prevented the players from wearing
the suits we would cancel the games

LONDON, September 27.-Very few peo-
pie are aware that among his possessions
Joseph Chamberlain numbers a half share
in a variety theater. The Alhambra, Brus-
sells which has long been popular as a
dramatic house, was at one time owned
by the late Richard Chamberlain, upon
whose decease the property passed into the
hands of Arthur Chamberlain and Joseph
Chamberlain. From the former of those
two Thomas Barrasford has secured n
twenty-year lease of the .Alhambra, and
early in November he will commence opera
lions there with strong variety entertain
ment. Mr.. Barrasford will, it is under
stood, conduct the Alhambra upon those
lines of management which. as exempt
fled at his property in Brighton and else
where, have made them popular places
of family entertainment. 1t will doubtless
be source of comfort to the distinguished
halloween to know that the programs to
be submitted at the Alhambra, Brussels
will invariably be of the first quality and
that Mr.. Barrasford intends to bring about
certain reforms in the tariff of the estab-
lishment.

Mullin Beat Boston.

BOSTON, September 81 Encouraged by
a large contingent which came east from
Detroit to see the deciding game for the
American League championship the team
from that city won a third successive vic
tory over Boston yesterday, 0 to .. Siever
was batted out of the game in one inning,
and the Boston men opened sharply on
Mullin. but after he had steadied down
they could do little with him. The local
management tried out several of the speed
lest of Its new recruits, but the Detroits
played at top speed and proved far superior
to any combination the home club could
present.
The fight and determination shown by
both teams. and many brilliant fielding
plays, especially by the rival shortstops
made the game one of the most interesting
of the season. The result, however, was
practically settled in the fifth inning, when
Burchen, a Baltimore pitcher. was batted
out Of the box. Pruitt. who succeeded
him, lacked control to such an extent that
the Detroit players feared to face his err
ratio shoots.

Girl Telegrapher Driven to Suicide.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
LONDON, September 27.-The remarkable
statement that girl telegraphers are some
times driven to suicide by their work
was made at an inquest held at Woolwich
the other day. The inquest was on Marian
Gibbons, aged twenty-three, a telegraphst
employed at the general post office, who
lived at Plumstead road, Woolwich. The
father of Miss Gibbons stated that she had
suffered from nervous debility for about
eighteen months. She only partially re-
covered from time to time. He found her
lying on the floor, apparently dead. Miss
Harriet Gibbons, a sister of the girl. as
serted that a number of the girls employed
at the general post office suffered from
nervous debility. The continue tick-tick'
of the instrument affects their nerves,
she stated. There have been cases of
suicide through IT." A verdict of Suicide
during temporary arrangement was re-
turned.

the case:
"The grand jury today began an In

upon Mrs. w. H. Clements, who was
choked by masked man, dragged into
the hall and there pinioned, while the
lnarauder attempted to set fire to her

jury expects to unravel the tangle be-

Paul Mandell was arrested a short
time after the sensational attack upon
Mrs. Clements. He was held for
writing letters to Mrs. Clements in
which he made threats unless she
would withdraw her opposition to him
marrying her daughter. This case will
be probed along with the assault nys-
