earliest moment" said Superintend-
emit Farr. mr.. Graves has just re-
turned from California. after an ex-
tended absence. and he has been
busy since his return. While | am
not in position to say what will be
done, l will say that do not antici-
pate that there will be any difficulty
In making an arrangement satisfac-
tory to the company and the en-
ployes. The wages of the carmen
were reduced last fall on account OF
the falling on of business. The re-
duction, which was agreed to by the
employees, was made with the under
standing that the old scale would be
restored when business conditions
warranted. With some minor differ
ences, the men are now asking that
they be paid according to the scale in
force before the cut was made.
One of the demands of the carmen,
in addition TO the restoration of their
former rate OF pay. il that they be
given an advance to 80 cents an hour,
after six months's service. This ad-
vance, they ask, shall be given to all
the carmen after that length of serv-
ice. Before the cut only those men
who had been IN the service of the
company three years or more received
80 cents an hour.

husband. Alfred G. Vanderbilt. which
was filed in the supreme court yes
terday. was taken today before Ref
cree David Mcclure. Howard Kemp

one of the witnesses called today.
The fact that the valet did not de-
part with his employer on the Maure-

ment was not shown.
When the hearing was adjourned
none OF the persons interested would
talk for publication. but IL Was ad-
mitted that the evidence would be In

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes a bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees ase raised IS high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent. but that he can sell the
land at the price named IL the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent" promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold. but this stipula-
ton is not contained in a contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy OF
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. II is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one Of them gave up $500 Others de.

Selected Her Own Coin.

This curious incident Of travel in
Africa is told by A. Henry Savage
La1dor: 81 wished to buy bag OF
81 in, but the woman who owned 1t
would on no account accept silver
money for it, nor any article which
she saw in my camp. My Somali
servant had a bright idea-the only
one he had during the entire journey
across Africa. He went to one OF the
boxes of provisions and tore on
highly colored label from a corn beef
tin Having licked it copiously, he
stuck it in the middle of his forehead.
lnquisitive, like a woman, the Carayu
asked him what he did it for. The
SomaA said he had been seized with
violent headache and the colored pa
per was a certain cure. The Carayu
at once offered the grain II the Somali
would part with the magic paper. Her
wish was satisfied without delay and
the woman departed happy"

HAD STORED HONEY IN HOUSE.
Industrious Bees Had Hive Between
Floors of Dwelling.

For several years Patrick Prender-
CAST of Arlington, Pa, lived in house
along the Old York road, not knowing
that a swarm Of bees also considered
it their home. The swarm htved be-
tween the first and second floors, d.
rectly beneath the beds occupied each
night by Prendergast and his family.
The house where Prendergast lived,
with realty sale, passed into posses
sion of John Lambert, Jr., q promi-
nent Philadelphian with a country
place at Arlington. In line with pro-
Jected Improvements, Lambert ar
ranged to have the house moved back
from the present foundations, pre-
liminary to having 1t remodeled, the
structure being more than 100 years
old.
Workmen discovered the presence
of the bees, and an apiarist empleye
to remove the swarm found more than
200 pounds of pure honey between the
second floor and the ceiling Of the
first. 1t being assumed that Mr. Lam
bert took title to the honey with the
house, the honey was turned over to
him.
