REPORTERS ARE

Five Arrested at Head of Phil

AIMED TO REACH CITY HALL
New Life Given to Strike of Car Men
by Support of State Fedora
ton of Labor.

Philadelphia, March 10-During a
small riot this afternoon following an
| impromptu procession of strikers five
newspaper reporters in an automobile
at the head of the parade were arrest
ed by the police and detained at the
city hall pending the disposition of
their cases. The aim of the marchers
was to reach the city hall, but the po-
lice reserves were massed in such a
way the parade was broken up before
it reached the building.

Trouble mt Trenton.
Trenton, N. j., March 10.-Several
minor disturbances occurred in the city
today in connection with the strike of
the street car men which began last
night.
Strike strengthened.
Philadelphia, March 1O.-Promise of
Hep from wffhout and IdeSvefobment of
strength in it's own field, which ap-
peared to take even it's most confident
leaders by surprise, injected new life
into the Philadelphia general sympa-
thetic strike movement yesterday.
A labor campaign which had given
every sign of waning received its
strongest impetus from the action of
the State Federation of Labor conven-
ton in New Castle in declaring that
statewide and even nationwide tieup
of industry would not be too great a
price to pay if necessary to insure
success to the local cause.
Get Locomotive Employees.
Added to this came the revelation
that the union labor movement in sym
pathy with the striking employees of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit COM
pany was strong enough to invade
what was supposed to be a secure cit
adel of the opposing forces and open
up an admittedly wide breach.
The success of the strike leaders in
inducing something over 1000 en-
ployes of the Baldwin Locomotive
works to walk out, following the early
morning desertion of possibly as many
more, was the most striking develop
ment of the day in the local situation.

Generous and independent


In front OF confectioner's shop in
Paris there used to sit a woman with
two wooden legs. She sold pictures
and songs and played we'll on the vic.
lin. In 1913 she was there, very pretty
and dressed with a good deal of taste.
and when Louis Napoleon, then mere
ly Prince Louis. used to go through
the street nearly every day. he never
passed without giving her something.
She knew him and was also aware
of his pecuniary embarrassments and
his political ambitions. One evening
she said to him. monsieur, / want to
say word to you"
Say it, madame"
'They tell me that you are q good
deal cramped just now. l have at my
house comfortable sum which is
earning nothing. Let me offer it to
you. You will return the favor when
you are EMPEROR
Prince Louis did not accept the mon.
ey. but he did not forget the kindness,
and when be became emperor he offer
ed her small annuity. The woman
was as independent as she was gener.

that it is exceedingly good Of him to
remember me, but | cannot accept his
offer. If be had accepted mine won't

The Festive Goldfish,

A correspondent Of the New York
Post says that the Goldfish frequents
*'the tablelands of the sea-" The cod
fish no doubt does this to secure as
nearly as possible dry. bracing at
mosphere. This pure air Of the sub
marine tablelands gives to the Goldfish
that breadth of chest and depth of
lungs that we have SO often noticed.
The glad, free smile of the Goldfish is
largely attributed to the exhilaration
of this oceanic altitOodleum. The cor
respondent further says that the 'cod-
fish subsists largely on the sea cherry"
Those who have not had the pleasure
of seeing the Goldfish climb the cherry
tree in search of food or clubbing the
fruit from the heavily laden branches
with chunks Of coral have missed
very fine sight. The Goldfish when at
home rambling through the submarine
forests does not wear his vest unbut-
toned as he does while loafing around
the grocery stores of the United States.

Got Another Copy.

A well dressed man was standing
outside booksellers shop in Charing
Cross road closely examining one of
Balzac's works illustrated by Gustave
DOre. "HOw much is this Balzac?' he
asked an assistant outside.
'Twenty-fve shillings." was the re-
ply.

the manager about reduction" con-
tinued the prospective customer. and.
suiting the action to the word, he took
up the book and went into the shop.
Approaching the bookseller. he took
the book from under his arm and asked
what he would give for it. Seven
shillings highest OFFER" he was told.
The offer was accepted, the man took
his money and left.
"Well," queried the assistant later.
after the man had gone. were you
able to hit it off with the gentleman
sir?"
ooh. yes. I managed to get another
copy of that edition of Balzac for 7
shillings."

A Victim of Leprosy.

ION my travels in Venezuela" said a
New York man. 81 stayed in hotel
with a young man in whose family
there was the faint of leprosy, though
he apparently did not have it. One
night sitting at dinner he became an
CRY at waiter and brought his hand
down on the table with full force. He
instantly realized that he did not feel
the blow and sat looking at his hand.
his face whitening with horror. Give
ME your knife. Bob,' he said to his
chum. He grabbed the pocketknife in
a frenzy and stabbed the side of his
hand with vicious cuts from finger tip
to wrist. You may not know that lep-
rosy appears in the side of the hand,
numbness being a sign. The man did
not feel the cuts. He arose from the
table. knocking over his chair. rushed
out into the courtyard of the hotel. and
we heard the quick tang of a revolver
shot, telling us how he had conquered
the lepers curse by ending his life."-

A Hinh Priced EricasseA-

Lord Alvanley, a noted wit and high
liver in England hundred years or so
ago, insisted ON having an apple tart Oh
his dinner table every day throughout
the year. On one occasion he paid a
caterer $1,000 for a luncheon put up in
a basket that sufficed a small boating
party going up the Thames. Being
one of a dozen men dining together at
a London club where each was re-
quired to produce his own dish, Alvan-
ley's. as the most expensive. won him
the advantage Of being entertained
free of cost. This benefit was gained
at an expense of $40, that being the
price Of a simple fricassee composed
entirely of the ''noix,'' or small pieces
at each side Of the back, taken from
thirteen kinds of birds. among them
being 100 snipe. 40 woodcocks and 20

He Could Weld an Ak,

The skill of the old Maine shipbuild-
ers in the use of the adj and broadax
was wonderful. One old time yarn is
of carpenter who applied very drunk
at a shipyard for employment. In or
der to have a little fun with him the
foreman set him to give proof of his
skill by hewing out a wooden bolt with
no chopping block but a stone. The
carpenter accomplished his difficult
task without marring the keen edge of
the broadax and showed the foreman
a neatly made bolt. Then he brought
the Ak down with a terrific blow that
shattered it's edge upon the stone. Il
can hew fust rate on your chOpping
block" he hiccoughed, but I'll be
blamed if l can make the ak stick in
it when git through" The story runs
that the foreman lost no time in en-
plOying such workman.

Judqes' Was.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern, judi
cial appearance. and no one can say
that it fails in this respect. The GUS
tom was originated by French judge
in the seventeenth century when, hap
pening to don a marquis wig one day,
he found it gave him such stern and
dignified appearance that he decided
to get one for himself and wear it at
all times in court. This he did, and
the result was so satisfactory from a
legal point Of view that not only
judges, but barristers also, took up the
custom throughout Europe.-London
