ORGANIZED LABOR. asBsasasp<?5ra^B5asasBsasasHva5as3' i The tie-up in the building trades j which has existed at Wilkesbarre, Pa., since the hod oarriers strike was in augurated a month ago, is about to be I broken. It is announced that 8,000 clothing cutters in New York city, who threat ened to quit yesterday, have reached a compromise on their demands for eight hours and extra pay for holidays. ? ? ? o? ? ? The resignation of all but ten mem bers of the police force were accepted yesterday, and Erie, Pa., is without police protection. The patrolmen threatened to resign, if their salaries j were not increased $15 per month. Work has been resumed at the plant of the Anchor Pottery Company, at Trenton, after a strike of most of the employes because four of the gisrger men would not join the union. The non-union men were induced to affil iate. Trra?nrr? of the Sea. Divers recently raised from the Mediterranean, off Sicily, about thirty old guns which, they say, belonged to the Dutch and Spanish ships sunk bj the French in 1676. At any rate, nine of the guns are adorned with the ancient insignia of the Netherlands. There is greater treasure in the sea than out-of-date guns, and when sub marine navigation has become safer. | one may expect exploring expeditions in the great deep which will yield re sults as rich as any which crown the j efforts of explorers on land. International Telephone*. Great activity is now being dis played in the extension of interna tional telephones. Brussels and Lon don and Paris and Rome are already connected. Negotiations are now in progress between the Russian and German governments to still further enlarge the area of international telephones by a direct, line connect ing St. Petersburg and Berlin.

Forty-Four Square- Inches of Ground In New York; Valued at Two Hundred Dollars. The assessors have been called upon to assess what is relatively the most valuable piece of real estate in the entire city, says the New York Commercial Advertiser, and have ap praised it at $200. This may seem a paradox. But $200 is full value for the parcel ? and the parcel is in the Bronx. The "lotlet" is at the northeast corner of Third avenue and One Hundred and Forty-ninth street. It is triangular in shape and measures 6 inches on the avenue, 14 inches on the street and 13 inches on the northeasterly line. It, therefore, contains 40 square inches. Last May it sold for $200, or $5 a square inch. That would be $720 a square foot, or at the rate of $1,800, 000 for a fi^'lot of 2,500 square feet, a price u^cqualtd even in the finan cial section of Manhattan. Prior to the adaption of the full value as sessment plan the "spot" of land, whiJh is about big enough for a man ti^'tand upon on one foot, was as sessed at about $30 and the taxes pvere about 70 cents. The assessors evidently read the accounts of the sale on May 20 last year, tucked the clippings a\idy for future use and swooped do A ll on the owner with an assessment on January 12 of $200.! The taxes this year, therefore, will ! be at the $1.45 rate, $2.90. A CHILL FRANCHISE. Peculiar Qnalittcatlonn Required of Voter* in a Ciertnln 1111 nola Town. What constitutes a legal residence and entitles one to vote has been often a matter of dispute. In his "Recollections" John Al. Palmer tells an amusing story of the peculiar credentials accepted by a certain town in the west. The town was in Illinois. One of the qualifications required of a voter was residence in the state for six months previous to the election. On one occasion a man named Hoskins appeared for registration; but when asked how long he had lived in the state, confessed that the time was somewhat less than six months. The registration officer, after tell ing hiiu he had not been in the state long enough, hesitated a moment, then asked if he had "had the chills." "Ye.(. I had one yesterday," said Hoskins, "and I feel one coming on now." "Put him down," said the clerk to his assistant. "The chills are as good as a six months' residence!" Mr. Hoskins's name was thereupon placed on the list. If He Wasn't Hlmelf. "f say. Jones, that's the third um brella .you've taken from our office. I m ouldn't be an ass if I were you.'' "By Jove! Smith, that's the first true thing I've heard you say for a long time." ? Columbia Jester. THE RIGHT PLACE TO BUY Lawn Mowers Rubber* Hose Crarden Tools Rtfri g-e rato rs Wire Cloth r ? 1 ....

Wonderful Success of C. A. Sexton Half Prlce Sale of Dr. Howard's Dyspepsia Specific. Wo aro always glad to print in the Eve ning News a story about a remarkable success achieved by advertising, and es pecially so when the artiole advertised is one of superior merit. Not so very long ago C. A. Sexton one of Perth Amboy's most en erprising drug ists succeeded in getting the Dr. Howard Co. to allow him to sell their Specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia at h?lf price, as an introductory offer. The results of this advertising have been pheuomenal, and there has been hardly a weeK without C. A. Sexton be ing obliged to order fresh supplies. Such was his confidence in the remedy that he personally guaranteed every pack age or the Specific that has sold, and a greed to refund the money if it did not cure. His faith was well founded, for out of the hundreds of packages he has sold, only one has been returned. C. A. Sexton does not know how much longer he will be able to sell Dr. How ard's Specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia at half price, but will as long as his present supply holds out. Some of his customers have said they would pay a dollor a bottle rather than be without it. t Just What It la. Bill ? What would you call this at tack on the poolrooms? Jill ?
