They say at hoadquartors nowadays that favors have been distributed in a shamefully partial manner in the past, and that as a result discipline was hurt badly and Che station houses wero hot. bods of envy and petty bickerings. There will' never be complete poaco and satisfaction, but mattorB may be monded. It is always a pleasure to accord praise where praise is duo and that is tho reason why spooial attention is colled to the bravery of Patrolman John J. Bhatigan of the Seventeenth, who last week stoppod a runaway team and saved at least one life at great risk to himself.

Rhatigan has raised a bigger crop of charges during his career than any other man who ovor wore a uniform, hut it was always understood that thero was no real in him, and his recent exploit show that lie doeant got behind tho door whon he is wantod. If he can got himself to uoder stand that his giddy youth is past thore is no reason why ho should not turn out an ornament to the force after all, and in time he may even got to be a roundsman.

pemsfliYama JL "What Is Going On Among Guardians of the Peace. the Plenty or Room to Be Provided nt Last Where Was the Schoolmaster? Wept When They Parted To He Passed Abent by Way or Reword Proor Against Lightning. The idea of providing a suitable building exclusively for tho use of the police department has ofton boon broached, but never before has it appeared in such definite form as it has recontly assumed by reason of tho proposition made by tho proper authorities to purchase the old Thirteenth rogimont armory, with a viow of devoting tho samo to tho purpose tnentionod. That tho prosent aggregation of offioes in the municipal building, riow known as police headquarters, is altogether unsuited to the work therein carried on is admitted by everybody competent to Judge of tho matter. Tho various rooms are widely scattered, some being on one floor and some on another, and as to privacy there is nothing of the kind.

Somo improvements in tho way of. grouping tho offloos have been made of late, but. those only suggest the patching up of a very bad job. If the police oould have the en tiro building to themselves all would bo well and good. Thore would be no need to look for another location.

This plan has been suggested, but never ReriouHly considered. For many reasons it is inadvisable. It seems to be admitted that sooner or later the polioe will be forced to find another camping ground and it may be a long time before one so generally suitable as the armory can be had. As it is, ths plaoo is being used as a drill hall and, of oourso, rent is being paid for it. If it can be bought, out and out, at a reasonable price, it would be a pity to let the chanoo go by.

This is what police offioials think, but whether the people are willing that the outlay shall be incurred, is another thing. Of all tho lamentable, and at the same time ludicrous, exhfbitions of ignorance evor manifested that which was made duriDg the recent examination of a lot of roundsmen for tho grade of sergoant was, in all probability, the very worst. There wore twenty oandidates, and what they didn't know would, in the aggregate, fill many a score of books. Out of the twenty only four succeeded in passing. This fact in itself gives one a protty fair idea of tho oaliber of the mon in competition, but it does not begin to show how densely stupid some of hem could be when they fairly exertod themselves.

It looked in some instances as though tho men had done their very bost to make their answers as foolish and as far from tho mark as they possibly could. If anyone had burlesqued an examination for a modern faroo ho could have produced nothing near so rioh as this roality. Homicide was a man with a trolley car and not killing him," and assault in tho third degree was "throwiug cold water on According to another answer it was quite the proper thing to discharge a prisoner in a suppositious acoident case, if the ambulance surgeou who was called in was agreeable. Those aro but a few examplos out of very many of the Bame kind. Altogether, it was a sad showing, but a clear proof that tho modern poliooman knows no more than the law allows and not as much, perhaps, as the old time cop, who made little pretonae to learning, but did olaim to have his haro of oommon sense.

Two of the successful candidates and the two who received the highest percentage were from the Twentieth precinct. Detaotive Reynolds during his long servioe has had a great variety of partners. Somo have been long and thin like himself and some have been quite tho reverse. His very latest co worker, Detective Weiser, belongs to the latter class. The contrast bet ween tho two men physioally ia ufticiently striking to oause people to turn ound on the street to get mother look at them.

Reynolds has been described so often and is of uch a ladder like build that he is as well known as anyone in the business. Weiser is 2 feet shorter, 2 foot broader or thereabouts, and, perhaps 100 pounds heavier. He is one of the kind of whom it is said that they are as broad as they are long. This reduoos him almost to roundness and he finds it in consequence almost impossible to get a suit of ready made clothes which are anything of a fit. As he says himself ho has been trying for seven years to get hold of a mackintosh to suit hisshaps.

What ever the difference between the two may be ontwardly. they make a very good team for bus iness purposes. It begins to look as though a lot of fine young able bodied policemen who havo been figuring as wagon drivers were in a fair way toward los ing tho snaps they have been at so muoh trouble to secure. If the commissioner's idea of supplying their places with laborers goes through, as it will likely enough, they will have a ohanoe to show what they oan do as patrolmen, the line of duty for which they were hired by the city. Drivers and very bad ones at that, at $1,100 a year apiece are altogether too high priced.

These places have not been given, as a rule, to men who could drive but to political favorites, and the result has been something surprising in the way of wear and tear to the rolling stock. The repair bills have been beyond all reason. The proposed change will be strongly opposed no doubt, but it will be effected eventually as will the movoraent to substitute clerks at the telophono desks for full pledged policemen. When these things come to pass there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but roform pays no attention to anything of that sort and retrenchment has a hard heart. Roundsman McCormick of the Seventeenth and Patrolman James Gillospio.nowof tho Coney Island oontingent, were born and grew up to gether as companions in the samo village in Ireland.

Several years ago they left the old oountry in company and settling in Brooklyn went into the street car driving business. They soon tirod of this and got themselves examined for policemen. They wore successful and were appointed on the same day. Both wore assigned to the Seventeenth precinct and there both remained until a week or so ago, when Gillespie was ordered down for duty at the seaside. Tho friends had never been separated before during the whole course of their lives, and at they were really friends the enforced parting was full of sorrow.

It is alleged that they wero affeoted to such an extont when they said goodby that they sang a couple of versos or so of that tearful and touching ballad known as "Comrades." Coney Island and Siberia aro far asunder, and nnless a reunion can bo effected in some way or another Gillespie and McCormick oannot expect to see each other except during vacation time. There is a very general hope on the part of those who have business with the telegraph bureau that Officer Zoidler. who is now filling a vacancy in the office, will succeed in having him solf confirmed as a full fledged operator. He has had plenty of experience and is always obliging and courteous. Moreover, ho oan write and spell liko an intelligent man, and these two qualifications count for as much or more than any thing else in the lino of work ho has to perform.

Tho parade, barring a few drawbacks, was the finest thing of tho kind seen in this city since parades of the police were introduced. Such general excellence in morching was exhibited that it would be difficult to say to which precinct tho prize ought to go. Supposing there was suah a thing. Tho mounted men improve year by year and aro more than half the show. Sergeant Brophy of tho Seventeenth has a pipe for whioh he Bays he would not tako $50, although he is far from being a wealthy man.

It is a meerschaum, and was oxaotly 17 years old last Thursday; that is. it had boon sinoked by its prosent owner for that number of years. In point of blackness it might easily pass for a centenarian, and it is remarkably vigorous for its ago. It haB been smoked with amber, rubber, bone and every other kind of mouthpiece known to votaries of the pipe and for a long time it had no mouthpiece at all. At one period of its existence Sergeant Brophy took a dislike to it for some reason or another and tried to give it away.

As no ono would have it. for fear of getting Into trouble with the health department, he mado several attempts to lose it. Each time somooiio found it, however, and brought it back. and finally it became more of a treitsuro than over. Lime kiln tobacco is the only kind that was ever lisod in it, and to the virtues of this brand are assigned its strength and high color.

In tho future when a patrolman is assigned to detail duty ho will do well to understand that the snap has not bsen igivon to him for keeps. Mr. Wellos has a notion that details whioh are very muoh sought aftor should bo given to men who have earned some sort of reward and should be eniored by them for a reasonable length of time and not for life. They will bo passed along in rotation, as it were, so that every desorving offioor will have his share of soft duty. Aged men will be given the preference unless thoy are altocethor too aged, and then thoy will bo given the grand bounce.

It will como pretty hard on some of those who have held details ever Binoe they did any duty at all to have to turn out and He Has Declared Wax Against the Policy Dealers. no Says They Hnst Go Continued Immunity Had rilled the Sellers of Gigs With Courano and Tbey ffero Disposed to Look TJptn tho Police as Their Friends. For tho first time in a groat many years a decided movo is being mado against the polioy dealers of Brooklyn, whose name, until a few Bhort weeks ago. was legion. The weeding out process is being oarriod on with all earnestness, at least so far as Police Commissioner Welles is concornod.

but still it is not necessary that anyone who fools like playing a gig or a straddlo should tire himself out hunting around for a shop. Dealers aro plontiful enough, and, strange to say, they do most abound in tho preomcts nearest to the city halh Tho high priests of pokomolce havo stubborn necks, and if evor they are driven out of their fastnesses it will be only after a long and bitter fight. A quarter of a century's immunity from molestation, oxcopt of the most make believo kind, has, in their opinion, conforrod upon them rights which tho police aro bound to rospeot, and they are not a bit disposed to understand that the world do move. No polioe oommiH sioner. it is safo to say, has had more left handod blessings showered upon him than hare falloa to the lot of Mr.

Welles during tho brief period in which he has been at tho head of the dopart mont. He is tho Jibbonainosay of the policy mon, and is both oxeoratod and feared. Ho had. been in office but a few weeks when he besan calling for soalps. His face was et against gambling of any kind, but polioy was without doubt his pot aversion.

It is not to be imagined tht even in his giddiest days he had tasted of the knowledge whioh tells one that the numbers most eagerly expeoted loast ofton make their appearance. Therefore he mast be credited with purely moral motives as tho groundwork of his crusado. There was no doubt that he was in ear est. Whore ho got his information is neither here nor there, but it was quite evident that hb was as well postod as a man very well conld bo in regard to the extant of tho evil he nropoised to wipe out. Every day one of the first questions asked of his immediate subordinates bore directly on what had or had not been done toward the completion of the good work.

For quite a while not even a boginning was made. The captains and precinct detoctives had got into a very deep rut and wore logging along without any idea of disturbing themselvea just because tho commissioner had got it into his head that there were a few policy shops in town. What if there wero There always had been more or less of them, and, really, they could not be weodod out. Thon Mr. Welles got mad.

He called his oap tains together and treated them to a little straight talk. They must do better themselves and shako up their detectives or there would be trouble in the camp. Such a prooooding on the part of a Brooklyn polioe commissioner was unprecedented, and of courso very bad form, hut still, in consideration of his official youth, due allowance was made for tho transgressor. Here and thoro some unfortunate dealer was arrested, the movement being on a sort of 1 per cent, basis, and then tho captains, figurative patting themselves on tho chest, told their chief that the villains were driven out of town. Policy was dead.

Iot so thought Mr. Welles. One afternoon he sent out a few detectives from headquarters and possibly a few private agents, with instructions to secure as many "slips" as oould be had without tiring thomselves. That oveniug tho commissioners desk presented a curious sight, for pread all over it were pieces of paper of all colors and sizes, inscribed with a great varioty of combinations of numbers from 1. 3.

13, to the old reliable 4.11,44. It is not known whether the captains were allowed to gaze on this exhibition tho following day, but they wero mado to know that it was thoro, and collectively wore treated to a very unpleasant quarter of an hour. One or two of them advanced the puerile excuse that even if they did suspect a Dlaoe they found it almost impossible to secure evidence. As they put it, the dealers wore onto tliom. Mr.

Welles replied that if ho could get what was required so easily, suroly they ought to have no more difficulty in doing the same. So the matter ended for the time, and sinco then but little has been done by the precinct commanders. It is understood that the commissioner is still working on his own account, nnd if this is so something will be heard to drop boforo very long. Every, or nearly every, precinct will be fitted with a new captain, and there may be charges, too. Tho fact of tho matter is, as stated above, the Brooklyn dealora have been allowed to ply their nefarious trade bo long and in such complete peace that a sort of mutual understanding has been arrived at betweon them and the police.

They wore allowed to believe that if they did business on the quiet there would be no interference. It would bo rank idiocy to suppose that any captain or any detective, especially the latter, was not aware of the location of nearly shop in his praoinct. Onoe in many moons some foolish individual, who presumed to flaunt his lmsinoss, wns jumped upon for an example, but that was all. It is no exaggeration to say that for many years somo of the very best customers the dealers have had have been policemen themselves. As for lottery tickota it is known that a good batoh was distributed every mouth in eaoh preoinct.

In more than one instance ruin followed infatuation for this kind of gaming. The aroh policy doaler of Brooklyn died a few years ago and left behind him considerably over 9100,000. His shop, presumably a cigar store, wa within a stone's throw of police headquarters and did a rushing business. Everyone anyway intorestod in this particular line knew the plaoo and its character, but no attempt to interfere with it in any way was ever made. The proprietor was a power in politics and it was understood that he was the backer of many of tho smaller games throughout tho city.

One night burglars broke into the storo and of course some of the detoctives went around the uext day to make inquiries. They didn't learn much, but of ono thing they were assured, and that was if tho thieves had been aftor cigars thoy must have been sudly disappointed. There were hundreds and hundreds of boxos, but all wore empty. In the case wore a few old fly specked rutabagas and that was all. Business is still conducted at the old stand, but the glory thcroof is doparted.

While determined to hold out until absolutely forced to stop, tho dealors seem at prosent to be willing to make some concessions to their aroh enemy, Mr. W'elles. They are disposed to meet him half way. as it were. Not muoh writing is done in the shops jnst now, but tho applicant for a slip, if ho be a customer, will bo informed that the young man watching the sparrows so intently on the corner will attend to him.

It is a oase of having one's office in ono's hat. The scheme works well, for if the other young man. plainly enough a policeman in citizen's clothes, standing on the opposite corner, does suspeot what is going on, what can he do? A slip can be written on tho hack of an envelope, and boyond that there would be no evidence. The bootblacks around the public buildings havo always been interested in policy, as messengers more than on thoir own nccount, and they will procure you slip or lottery ticket to day as neatly and expeditiously as ever they did. In this way thoy help out their incomes considerably.

It is a groat fight, this upon whioh Commis sioner Welles has entered, tooth and nail, and the end is not yet. JAMES A. RIELEY ASSOCIATION Held Ita Aunual CCeceptlou ott fVcdaes dar ii(rlt.

Arliflcinl Diumumla, Natnrnl Gas and Jfciv ESiitcuverlos. Enmors of the artilicial manufacture of gean ino diainotiils liavo reached tills couutry. from Prance, from time to time for tho past year or bo. In tho ffom trade and amoar; chemists urea interest lias been taken in the mattor, but no details have been fortlieommK until now. liooent issuesof tho Parisian acioatilic journals give facts which, if true, show that tho process is a success and is slowly approaching tt commercial basis.

It lias been possible for years to produce microscopic diamonds, but at very groat expenio. In the present method it seems poiisiblo to eliminate this factor. II. is the discoverer of the process which, briclly. is as follows: Iron at ivhite boat is saturated with carbon in an electric furnaco and under pressure.

Tho cruciblo oontaiuinf; the molton iron is thon quickly lotverod to the bottom of a bath of molten lead. This insures quicker enolins than when the iron is plunsed in water owing to tho net that tho white hot iron does not really come into contact with the water and that tho lead is a good conductor and carries away the heat rapidly. It seems that the two liquid metals belmvo toward one another much as oil and watorand the molten iron collects in sphorical globules which rise to the surface, tho differenco in the specific gravity of molten iron and of molten lead being, of course, very considerable. The surfaces of the drops of liquid iron which float upon the aurfaoe of tho lead quickly solidify, the smaller drops of one to two centimeters first, the larger drops after a lapse of a longer time, and tho solid and small balls of iron are left to float on the molten lead whero thuy cool down. The interior of each iron ball is, of oourso.

liquid long after the formation of tho solid crust. Tho tendency of the central psrts to solidify is resisted by this surfaoe, owing to tho fact that iron expands in the act of solidification. Meanwhile a part of tho carbon crystallizes out from its solution in the liquid iron. iVftor a time, as tho cooling goes on, the load also solidifies and tho little iron balls aro left imboddod the ingot of lead. Then begins the process of getting at the small quantities of the carbonaoeoua materials which it is desired to examine.

Tho lead, which adheres to the iron, is dissolved away with nitric acid, the iron itself is dissolved by hydrochloric acid, and further treatment with suitable solvents leaves the sought for residue. This is a small quanity of material left after the tedious process of removing, by slow chemical means, the relatively large mass of metal. In the residue transparent diamonds aro found, having well definod crystalline facos, striated and inurked in the well known way, with the edges generally curved. They have the high refracting power, tho specifio gravity and the hardness of tho native stone. The peculiar form, known as the hemihodral, predominates among these crystals as in those of native diamonds, and under pressure is found to exhibit tho phenomena of polarization of light.

Occasionally also tliey show spontaneous disruption. Those charactors aro sometimes noticed in the native stone. The diamonds are, of courso. small; one with a dia moter of half a millimetor appears to bo reckoned a lino specimen. Further practice in working the process will probably enable larger specimens to bo obtained, as has boeii the oaso with tho production of rubies, which aro now manufactured large enough to bo used in the jeweling of watches.

However this may be, the artificial production of diamonds is now an acknowledged fact. It lias been aohieved by tho patient skill of the same worker who, aevou years ago, successfully overcame tho great experimental difficulties which had rendered fruitless the many former attempts to isolate the chemical element flourene. A Russian scientist advances the theory that natural gas is tho product of salt water, which is found in the same localities from 1.2 00 to 1,500 feet below the surface of the earth, coming in contact with the molten carbides in tho earth's interior. It is reported that ho has partially proved the oorrectnass of this theory by subjecting the salt water to similar conditions and produoing a gas which could not be distinguislied from tho natural article. If this theory is correct the supply of natural gas is not likely to become exhausted soon.

Electricity is now being ulilizod for killing homeless dogs and cats at Hartford, Conn. In the rear of the police station there is a caaro just large enough for a dog to stand in, fitted up with electrical connections. Tho fore foot of the animal rests upon one electrode and his hind feet upon another, and when ho is in position an electric current is Rwitohod on He is put to death on the Hame principle as criminals are executed. One of the latost uses to which a coal tar derivative iB appliod is as a substitute for quicksilver in the bulbs of thormonieters. This substance is tuluol.

It contains water, cim stand a much lower temperature than quicksilver without freezing, mid when exposed to warmth expands with great regularity. Beside possessing these qualities it is cheap and much lighter than quicksilver. The color of tulnol is dark blue. A process for making artificial whalebone has junt been invented. Tho process includes tho treatment of leather by sulphide of sodium, sonking it for twenty four or thirty six hours lu a weak solution of sulphate of potassium anil afterward stretching it on a framo.

The skin is then dried slowly and exposed to a temperature of fifty or sixty degrees contigrado. The influence of heat corabinod with the action of the sulphato of potassium renders the gelatine insoluble in water. Tho skin is submitted to pressure and its proporties are then very nearly those of whalebone. A lithographic stono. 30 by 40 inches, and weighing 500 pounds, i osts $100.

FfSHIHO OS THK POTOMAC EIYKB. The Potomac river fishing season is now reaoh ing its height, and evory day the banks of this river are lined with anglers of all kinds, from the unsportsmanlike pot fisherman, who drags tho fish ignominously from the rivor in big nets, to the genuine sportsman with bamboo rod and dainty fly. The latter class of fishermen aro at present enjoying their sport to their heart's content, and the daily catch of bass and perch on the upper Potomao is particularly largo just at prosent.

This part of the Potomac has a special attraction for a good many congressmen who are devoted followers of Izaak Walton's favorite sport, and many a fishing trip is planned in tho cloak rooms of the house and senate. Congress man Coombs and his business partner. Mr. Eddy, ono day this weok repaired in the oarly morning to tho upper Potomao and spent tho day in fishing. These two Brooklyn ites are expert fishermen, and in the evening.

when they returned home, the bottom of their boat contained a goodlj number of fish, several largo bass being among thorn. The Potomac is ono of tho most important rivers in tho oountry, viewed from tho standpoint of tho commercial fisheries, and in tho extent and value of its shad fisheries is surpassed only by tho St. John, Hudson and Delaware rivers. The shad fisheries of the Potomac havo a special interest because of their early importance, their serious de cline and throatouod extermination in recent years, and thoir rejuvenation as a result of the artificial propagation oarried on br the fish commission. Thero are throe sorts of nets used for this kind of fishing.

Tho old fashioned haul some is the most common and is hung out through the wator wliilo the tide is on the ebb and about three hours be fore the turn, and hauled on shore two hours after the flow has began. A newer device ia th pound net. This is swung between posts some eighteen feet apart and reachos above the water about throe feet. It is rectangular in form and has a bottom. At one side is an opening from either sido of which converging nets run out fifty fet and form a sort of sohnto through which the fish wander into the trap.

The gill not is a third kind used hore. This Is swung across stream and the fish are caught and held in its small meshes. The fishing season lasts about two months, and in this are inoluded tho two weeks taken in making preparations after the fishermen reach tho shores. The recent cold snap drovo'the fish into ttuOvarmer waters of the bay for a short time and has made the season somewhat backward. Tho oatch of Potomac herring cnts quite an important figure in the fish markets and thoy, too, are caught in im mense numbers.

A bird'seyo view of the Potomac from its mouth to Alexandria would show such an array of gill nets, pounds, seines, sot linos and other piscatorial fnares that it would seem impossible for a fish to afleeud safely as far as Washinirton except by following the steamer channel, which alono is free from obstruction, Even then thoy must run tho gauntlet of drag nets and dip nets, together. with all manner of enticing bait which conceal tho deadly hook, yet this i what thov do successfully, anil lairly swarm in the Washington and Georgetown chun uels as far up as tho great falls of the Potomac, about seven miles above tho city.

f.aa to love another woman. Century Magculne. is a very much envied man just now. Ho has been told off to tako the trip to Qneenstown after the prisoner Feeny, who is held there, and as he will have nothing to do but sign for his man and tako the noxt steamer book, it looks as though, he might put in a couple of weens or so very pleasantly. Jaunts of this kind are very rare and valued accordingly.

Some of tho older men think tho job ought to have boen given to one of them, but undoubtedly the commissioner knows his own business bost. The only way to avoid jealousy, in a case of this kind, would be to send the whole squad; and what would booomo of ths olty while they wore away? Baldwin has been to Glen iBland several timos and has no fear of th soa. Patrolman Fanning of the Yornon avenue station is big and tall and strong, but as quiet as the proverbial lamb whon lot alone. When ai noyed he never looses his temper but he take prompt means to stop the annoyance. Three very silly young men.

on their way from one saloon to another, one evening last woolc. noticing that he looked harmless, stopped to guy him. They had quito a lot of funand then Fannin went to the bat. He grabbed two of them by their coat collars and hammered thoir heads together until they thought thoy had bocn taking quinine by tho ounce. Tho third man ran and watched the show from a distance.

This treatment is quite as effective as clubbing and is not apt to produce thoso "alight scalp wounds" so Lfrequently referrod to in the returns. Still it is not every man who has the knack of it. Polioo Lineman William McOonnell has almost recovered from the shook he received whiio fixing a wire at headquarters last Monday. Tho current struok him on the sido of the face and bounced off against the wall knocking off a pieoe of plaster nearly a foot square. Experts regard his escape as something marvelous as they consider that tho shock was at least 2,000 voltu strong.

McConnell, himself, makes very light of the mattor. He says that the sensation at firab was as if somo one had hit him on tho oar with a sand baa and that thon he heard all kinds of sweet music such as ho used to hear at Coney Island on a Sunday. This lasted apparently five minutes and then ho came to himself. Ho had really only fallen down and jumped up again. He has had several other shocks during the many years he has bsen in the department and iaV inclined to believe that thero is something ia him which repels lightning.

He is proof against it he thinks. The special policeman who told Judge Watsoa that his wifo had run away from him because he was only a "sparrow cop," was unworthy to wear a shield of any kind. Ho could not have had tho least bit of prido in his profession or ho would never have admitted that tho faot of hi3 being a sparrow ana remaining a sparrow was any reason why the partner of his joys and Borrows should decide to dissolve tho concern. He wa laughed out of court and he deserved all ho got. No order was evor more ridiculed than tho ono recently passed in New York which makes light ning bugs out of all the park policemen over; thero.

All thoso on duty aftor sundown have to tote around a lantern of the largest size which, of course, makes them the most conspicuous objects in the grounds. Footpads and other ohjoc tlor.oble characters can see them half a mile off. and keep out of their way with tho greatest of ease. There have been some foolish rules made in this city, but the lantern regulation beats tho reoord. It would be no worse to compel the men to oarry the old conductors' whistles and blow them every five minutes.

HE WANTED POINTS. As an Annexed Gruveeender Bo Was a. UlIn Bit Pnzzlcd. The hayseed dropped noiselessly out of his goatee as he twitched it nervously while he was being wafted up to the editorial rooms of tho Eagle on Monday afternoon. He told the boy at the gate that he wanted to see the boss.

The boy sized him up at once and Bont out thou fresh reporter to interviow him. "What's the trouble, Uncle Si?" asked the fresh reporter as he graspod the granger by the hand and wrung it till the tears stood in the old man's eyes. "Nothin' much, only I thought if you had a few minutes to spare, mehbe you could gimms some points on this annexation business," said the former, as ho tenderly pressed the bones his right hand back into thoir regular places. "I've been having somo trouble with my family over it, an' I'd like to be set right in the matter afore I prooeed any further." "Step inside and sit down." said the fresh re porter, "and tell me all about it, and then, if can be of any assistance to you, I shall bo pleased to offer you advice." 'Thankee, thaukee, sir." said the old man; at ho sank into a chair noar the door. "Now.

ye see, ever sence this hero annexation business has went through, an' our farm 'us been made a part o' the City o' Brooklyn, I ain't had no poaoo nor ro3t with my wife an' my boy an' gaL an even the hired men an' the servant gal has kinder kicked ovor the traoos." "In what way havo thoy bothered you?" askod the fresh reporter. 'Well, in the fust plaoo, there's my wifej we've oeen married nigh onto forty year an' never had a cross word till that annexation busi ness come along. When she found that we wa actually livin' in the City o' Brooklyn she begua puttin' on airs an' turnin' up hor nose at me be ouz I was a fanner an' not a dude. My boy Hiram, that was as likely a lad as thero is In the null ijoug Island, took pattern by his mother. The day the governor signed the bill he put on his bost Sunday go to meetin' olothes, an' he ain't took 'em off sence, an he's took to smokin' oigarettos an' carryln' a oane, an' he ain't done a stroke o' work around the farm in three weeks, an' the fields all choked up with weeds, aestroyin' the crops.

He says it ain't tho proper caper for city ellers to dig in tho fields, an' laughs at mo for expectin' him to hus tle like he used to. Then there's my dartor, she used to be a great help to her mo ther, but lawzee all she does now is lay abed in the mornin', an when she does git up she spends the best part o' the day a' ourlin' her front hair an' sprucin' up go's to look like a French doll in tho ovenin', when her toiler comes round. I have four hired men. an' as soon as they heard we was took into the city limits, they struok for city pay an' city hours an' city board. Goewhittakoa! but that made me riley, to think o' them clodhoppers havin' the impidence to talk to me like that, aa I been runnin' a farm for forty five year or more."

Ho took the old man by tho hand and, beforo he could object, led him out to tho elevator and bade him goodby. The last seen of the puzzled Gravosender was as ho stood gazing up at the Baochor statuo ia city hall park and mumbling to himself: "By gravy I if he wag alive, mebbe I oould git some good advice; them newspaper fellers doa seen to know nothin' about Str.
