here's another version, which the
tale the more confirms, as Izaal1

Quicker than a cat, Fish let fly at
his antagonist. who failed utterly
to get a line on him, and Harahan
curled up like worm after Fish
had knocked him about a rod.
Having landed his catch, Fish
backed water ana made a run on
the bank down Wall-st.

himself, ito get the hook when

CITY REAPs THE PROFIT.

ONE Of party of Engshmen who recently
~ visited Germany to study municipal gov
ernment in that empire, reports on the methods
OF acquiring land by the cities of the empire, as
follows:
With regard to the requirement of land, street
Improvements, and so on, municipalities appear
to have absolute power to buy land surrounding
their cities AS matter Of fact, Frankfort during
the past ten years has purchased 10000 acres of
land, at cost of FIVE millions of money. Instead
OF allowing landowners to become rich through
the growth of a town, when signs of growth are
visible the municipality steps in and buys the
surrounding land SO that the town gets the bene-
fit instead OF the individual. In that way the city
authorities have absolute control over the laying
out OF new estates, and they are able to provide
peoples parks and open spaces, and make wide
thoroughfares varying from so to $50 feet in
width. Everything seems to be carried out which
will promote the health and pleasure OF the peo-
pie
2 This practice is too much like paternalism for
. this country, but there are many arguments in
favor of it. Such a conservative paper as the
Municipal Journal and Engineer, of New York,
believes that by the foregoing or similar methods
the city as whole rather than favored indvid-
uals, should profit by its own growth and pubic
improvements.

UNION AND TIPS.

r MPLOYES OF the Chicago hotels have a
IL grievance, and they will be sustained by
the sympathes Of the public. They want to form
a union and the object of the proposed organza-
ton is stated by "captsin OF bell0oys' OF one
OF the largest hotels as follows
If we can get union we will not be compelled
to live off of the charity Of more or less gener-
Gus public. Under the present system the hotel
people pay us just enough 10 warrant keeping our
names on the payrolls They do it more 10 have
our names and addresses handy than because they
look upon the stipend they give us as salaries
They know and we know that if we don't graft
our pay off Of the patrons OF the house we go
hungry.
Another thing we want to change is the manner
Of feeding hotel employees. who are compelled to
eat and sleep at the hotels by which they are en-
ployed. At some of the best hotels in the city the
employees are compelled first to offer the food 70
their guests, then to the dogs and pets Of the
guests, and, if refused all around, the employees
get to eat IT, Their quarters are about as good
Such space as couldn't be used for ANYTHING is
generously turned over TO the employees
The captain may have exaggerated slightly,
but the travelling public knows that employees of
hotels, Pullman cars and persons in similar occu-
pations are expected TO earn their living by
grating from the patrons. The hotel keepers
in the larger cities, after charging fair or even
high rates for their service, impose upon their
patrons by forcing them 10 tip their ill-paid
employees. The rich Pullman Car Company,
which earns its thousands in dividends, earns so
much, in fact, that the management often do not
know what TO do with their profits compel the
travelling public TO pay the porters when these
employees should be paid by the companies The
union may, if formed, furnish some relief to the
travellers by making the employers pay their ser
wants decent wages
OF course it may be said that the inn-keepers
and the Pullman magnates may increase the
charges to meet the additional expense caused bv
the relaxation Of the grating but the travelling
public would like to try the new method, at least
for a while.

COMPLAIN ABOUT
DECREPIT MULE
But II Was Outside the JuTiS-
diCtiOn Of New Castle
Authorities

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEW CASTLE. Sept. 11.-complaint
was lodged with the police yesterday
that man was working a mule which,
owing to its weak condition and the
number Of sores on its body, was unfit
for work. BY the time the complaint
was lodged the man could have been
in Delaware City.
The mule was small and was hitched
to a heavy wagon as a fortune tell
er's tent" 1t was hauled here from
Wilmington and those who saw the lit
tie beast stagger along in its effort to
pull the heavy wagon were loud in
their denunciation. There was an ex-
cuse of a collar used, which only helped
to irritate the sores on the animals
neck. The attention of the S. p. c. A.
will be called to the case to-day. II
required six hours time to come from
Wilmington to New Castle.

Mrs. Mary A. Becker, widow Of John
Becker, of the Market Street Hotel,
died last night For months Mrs.
Becker has been a patient sufferer. She
is survived by several sons and daugh-
ters. Mrs. Becker was known to be a
very charitable woman. but always
avoided publicity regarding the same.
There was considerable disappoint-
ment here last evening owing to tlfe
fact that the steamer John p. Wilson
failed to come on her down trip from
Philadelphia. While in Philadelphia
yesterday il was discovered that part
Of the steamers machinery became dis
arranged and repairs were necessary.
Owing to the nature Of the trouble re-
pairs could not be made in time to
sail on schedule time. About o'clock
telephone message was received by
Lewis Duncan. the agent here, that the
steamer would not reach New Castle
until this morning. Mr. Duncan took
charge Of woman who intended sail
ing on the steamer. She had been
waiting over two hours when the news
arrived that the steamer would not
como last night.
Local societies have been hustling
during the summer. The A. o. u. w.

eligible for the Musicians Union. We can
go out cheaper because we are under no

out lien, and the honor of the state
was at stake.
In this emergency the Georgia James
town commission, through Governor
Smith, applied to the attorney general
for ruling as to whether the state
appropriation made by the legislature
for the purpose of placing Georgia
exhibit at jamestown could be used
for this purpose.
Judge Hart furnished the commits
sion an opinion a few days ago, to
the effect that the balance of the
money due on the Georgia building
can legally be paid out of the fund
appropriated by the state, and this
will be done
