quoting room of the Duquesne club.
1t was the sixteenth annual banquet
Of the operating officials of the earn

years have been the wonder of the
Ihanuueting season throughout the
country.
Many of Andrew Carnegie's ''boys"
we're there and his personal telegraph
ed message, a feature of these annual
affairs, was greeted with cheers. The
biggest man of the evening was Presi-
dent James A. Farrell of the United
States Steel Corporation, who painted
bright picture OF the steel industry s
future.
Following the Marston mill oyster
cocktail, the supreme salmon patties,
the pearls of cucumber and the other
dainties set before the banqueters,
! Levi H Burnett, Alva c. Dinkey and
II. P. Bope told of the welfare" Of
their departments. What they said
was for the family" only, it was ex-
planned, fer the doors were shut as
soon as the dinner began and every
precaution taken to prevent the talks
of the evening from becoming public.
The menu card was bound in steel
plates in imitation of furnace doors
and each represented the price of a
goodly meal for many Of the workers
in the big mills of the company.
But there was no railing against the
efforts of the workingmen to secure
better conditions that much of the
evenings thought was permitted to
leak out In fact the welfare"
speeches told not only of the welfare
of the business, but also of plans for
lettering wage and working condi-
tons. No formal statement of any
kind was made public.

Cigar Stump Exchange.

Without doubt the most novel
mart in the world is the cigar stump
exchange which Isl held in the East
End Of London every Sunday morn
ing Here the dweliers in the com
mon lodging fa2ses that abound in
the locality bring the cigar ends
'snIpes,' they call them-they have
collected during the week, and sell
them TO swarthy, looking men
for good current coin Of the realm
What becomes Of them afterward
nobody seems to know. but it is gen
orally surmised that they are made
up into cheap cigarettes, after being
shredded, and probably mixed with
other tobacco or tobacco dust.
The sellers bring their wares in
paper bags, in cardboard boxes. or
lied up in grimy handkerchiefs or old
rags There is no dealing in futures.
Each broker sells only the cigar ends
actually In his possession, getting the
most money he can for them.
The prices on the Cigar Stump Elk
g1ange vary from time to time, just
as they do on other exchanges, In
summer, during the height of the
London season, they rule low II
winter, when fewer persons smoke CT
cars in the streets, the sellers get
10 or u per cent more for their
-iImps.
