around one Of the hotels has disappeared.
and when the story is told it can readily
be reasoned why. This young man was
employed as a bell-hop. He was instructed
IN his duties by the captain. and in his
rounds he was shown little box with .
glass front He was told that to break
that box would start the fire alarm in
every rooHi in the hotel
The young man did not believe II He
could not see how such a thing could be
possible So at the first opportunity he
tested IT, He broke the glass. Instantly
bedlam broke loose in that hotel Men,
women and children rushed out Of their
rooms, many carrying their belongings and
some not dressed for the street. The new
boy made bee line for the clerks desk
and confessed what he had done. But
those bells could not be stopped. The tele-
phones 70 the rooms were put 20 work and
everything possible was done TO stop ex-
element but AZ required Just fifteen min
utes for those alarms TO quiet down, and
in that time the lobby Of the hotel looked
like moving day in the tenement district
He was last heard Of passing through the
timber near Podunk.

OF the wage controversy. Each side
claims TO have gained all that II had
been contending for In the negotia-
lions which have been In progress
for the past six months and which
eliminated last week In the strike
vote by the employees.
The proposition offered today by
the railroad officials and accepted by
the men includes a minimum day Of
ten hours. as detailed In the New
York Central award. On certain
runs. where the company's present
rate Is higher. the rate will not be
disturbed. The classification OF these
exceptional runs and the question OF
overtime were left to be decided at
conferences between the various
members OF the committee and the
division superintendents OF the lines
which they represent.
Ii was further agreed that the men
would be guaranteed 2s days work
a month. While the men regard this
as concession. the railroad officials
say that during the recent hard times
the men were benefited by being
worked on short time rather than
being laid of altogether.

SPARROWS DISPLACE MEAT.
Bird Scarcity Around Pittsburg
Eaten Because of High Prices.

(Pittsburg Correspondence New York
Times.)
sparrow potpie, which many in
Pittsburg began to eat during the
era of high meat prices and the
strikes against the butchers among
working people, has caused the prac-
tical extinction of the bird in many
parts of the city and surrounding
towns.
New York people attributed their
scarcity to the ascendancy Of the au-
tomobile over the horse and the con-
sequent decrease of street sweepings.
but the Pittsburg park authorities
have found that sparrows made such
good eating that tens Of thousands,
have been slaughtered for pies.
Those who have adopted the meal
say the sparrow is preferable to the
reedbird for the table. The differ
ence in the texture and flavor of the
two birds is said to be almost imper-
ceptible, and it is asserted that thou
sands of sparrows are served annual
ly at hotels in place of reedbirds.
