 Gus of loyalty to his own sex the manager of the woman's suit depart ment discharged his young woman stenographer and hired a man. The first batch of letters dictated to the man were written to about hundred old customers. whom he invited to ex- anime privately a lot of exclusive gar ments before they were placed on sale. The day after the letters were mailed the women locked into the store. but the fire that burned in their eyes was the Ire of the avenger rather than of the bargain hunter. One word which each woman had underlined in her letter explained their wrath The gar ments, so the manager had meant to say, had been designed for women of stock figure. such as they possessed, but the male stenographer had drawn on the alphabet and had written it ''stocky."
 'No woman on earth would have been guilty of such a mistake" growled the manager.

WAGE INCREASE
 AND HOLIDAY
 FOR PAINTERS
Local Union Mechanics Gladdened by Peaceful Outcome of Their Differ ences with Employers.

The journeymen painters and deco rators affiliated with Local No. 190 are quietly rejoicing over the peaceful out come of their agitation for an increase in wages and half holiday on Satur- days. Effective April 1, was the agreement reached with the bosses whereby the union men of that craft are hereafter to receive 45 cents an with a weekly working scale of 45 hours which gives them the half hOli- day on Saturday.
 These negotiations have been going on for the past two months. The union men have been represented by their business agent, Al McKeon, while the employers conducted their own case through correspondence.
 This settlement places the painters and decorators upon the same footing as the union carpenters, brick layers and stone masons with respect to the number of working hours each week. The carpenters and the other allied building trades secured their Saturday holiday year ago. Since that time the painters have been quietly at work preparing to secure a similar concession by the commencement of the outdoor work this year.
 It is fact that of all the outdoor trades none suffers so much loss Of time through the inclemency of the weather as the painters and decora- tors, and despite the slight increase in wages because of this loss of time the average wage is not much in ex- cess. if any, of that earned by many less skilled artisans whose employment is steady throughout the year.
 The local union has reduced its init iation fee from $25 to S5.

WOMAN WHO'S
 WANTED HERE
 UNDER ARREST

Mrs Margaret Kerrin, formerly of this city, is under arrest in New Ha- ven as burglar. She has been sought by the Bridgeport police but apparently aware that the authorities were on her track she fled the city.
 Mrs. Kerrin is wanted here for at least four and possibly eight or ten house breaks. None resulted in great loss, but the woman, according to the police, reaped a substantial revenue from her operations. She used a key, it is alleged, to effect her entrance into the homes of people who were temporarily absent.
 The New Haven police claim to have a strong case against her. She will likely be brought here when she is through with the New Haven courts.

Great Men Tall and Short.

saroar meN all ana 0nCfS,
 A recent investigator has attempted to show that Lombroso and his follow. CTS were wrong in asserting that men of genius were of small stature. Of 230 individuals of eminence he found that figures were obtainable for 1O3; of these sixteen were of middle height, fifty-eight above and twenty-nine be low.
 Americans particularly combined greatness with inches. Jefferson and Jackson were more than six feet tall. Sumner was six feet four inches. and Washington. Lincoln and Beecher were more than six feet. Among famous foreigners Tolstoy was large man, and so were Thackeray, Bismarck and Darwin.
 On the contrary, many of the worlds greatest geniuses were undersized and even deformed. Napoleon. Poe. Pope. Alexander the Great, Nelson. Blake and Caesar were small men.
 After all is said. genius is no re- specter of rules.-New York American.
