$15,000 Salary as Laborer In Shop he Formerly Ruled

New York, Oct. 9. The anomaly of the head of the great leather plant, with a salary of $15,000 a year, working through compulsion as an ordinary day laborer and doing the work that is ordinarily rewarded with $15 a week, was presented here today at the plant of Harrington & Co., in Elizabeth, N. J., in the case of John T. George. He The reason for the reduction of the concern. The resaon for the reduction of George from the top to the very bottom in bis own concern lies in the fact Monday the Central Leather company, known as the Leather corporation, acquired the Harrington works. George's resignation of his $15,000 position was demanded and promptly refused, because he holds a salary contract good until next June. The action of the trust was swift and radical. It was discovered by the trust officials that the contract was valid until June 10, so it was determined to force out George by vother means. But the trust officials reckoned without their host. George worked his way up to the position of general manager from the bottom, and when he was told to go to work as a leather maker he was not nonplussed. He had done the work before many years ago.

Wife Cuts Up His Sunday Shit; Court Affords Man No Redress

Chicago, Oct 9. A woman may cut, slash, rip or destroy clothing at will, take the money out of it, and the law can't touch her, provided she is a wife and the clothing is that of her husband. 60 declared Municipal Judge Newcomer in the Desplaines street court yesterday when the case of Mrs. Maggie Wittick was presented. Charles Wittick, her husband, had the woman arrested yesterday on a charge of disorderly conduct, According to his story, his wife left him two months ago, but returned yesterday and broke into his room at 17 North Carpenter street. Finding his Sunday-go-to-meeting suit hanging in a closet, she cut it, ripped it, tore it and put it In such shape that to appear on the street in It would make him liable to arrest, declared the indignant husband. He wanted a severe penalty Imposed. "I can't do anything for you," said Judge Newcomer. "I have no jurisdiction in a cause between husband and wife. . It is not possible for a wife to vteal from her husband under the law. She can either sew on or cut off the buttons on your trousers, take all your money or break down your door if you don't admit her. While she is still your wife, Mr. Wittick, I cannot punish her for what she has done." "But I have a bill of divorce pending against her, your honor," said Wittick. "That makes no difference, she is Btill your wife." After her discharge" Mrs. Wittick Why Cough Atk mmr doctor if all coughs arc neceoant If mot, then whg cough ?

Today's Want Ads,

When he received his orders to report today as a leather maker he smiled grimly, set his jays and made ready. He left his mansion at North Broad street, the Fifth avenue of Elizabeth, jumped into the waiting touring car and drove to the works. There he sent his automobile home, to call for him at noon, and donned a leather apron and went to work at a table with scores of other leather makers. . George's time was kept by the timekeeper, just like that of all the laborers to right and left of him. He was ordered about by the superintendent just as if he had never sat at a desk in the front office. And when noon .came he doffed the leather apron, but became the wealthy citizen again as he sprang into his automobile and drove to his home for luncheon. In the afternoon the same thing was repeated. "And I am ready to go on that way until next June," said George. ' "I'm going to stick it out. I don't like it. and I could say something about what I think of a lot of officials who would resort to this kind of thing, but I won't. But it won't do them much good in my case. George was well liked in the works, and when he was notified of his reduction, several officials and the superintendent resigned. His stenographer. Miss Lena Rlans, also quit.

ANIMAL ANIMUS.

War la Whfefc Wild Urate Show Thwtr Coatcaipt For Mmmkiad. "W1M animals have a great many ways of showing their contempt for humankind," said an artist who has made a specialty of modeling animals. "Every one has an idea that elephants become tame and even fond of people, but this is altogether wrong. They are easily trained, but are never tamed. They are docile just so long as the keeper has his goad In his band or the memory of a burning endures. I had proof of this one day while modeling one of the elephants in a !';--r animal show. I was sitting iu stall, with my modeling stand, not knowing that on certain days he was given an extra allowance of chain. Suddenly be flung his trunk around with such force that It smashed the stand to bits and sent me a dozen feet outside the stall. "He never forgot his failure to finish me, and soon afterward he expressed his dislike in a more vulgar If less dan gerous manner. As I worked I heard him make a loud sucking noise, but suspected nothing. At last when he had his mouth quite full of saliva he blew it toward me. "This is not only a trick of elephants. but of other animals as well, as I have learned to my sorrow. Camels have the same habit, and while working near a camel one day I was treated to a shower of finely chewed cud." This sculptor and other artists agree that the cat animals have a different mode of attack. There seems less of spite and more of real hate In their method. Sculptors usually place their modeling stands as close to the bars as possible. This same one was once working close to a tiger's cage, with the beast inside lying very quiet, ap parently asleep. Without even raising his eyeballs the big cat struck between the bars with bis heavy forepaw, splintering the stand and sending the clay in wads on the floor. The artist, warned by a sixth sense developed by those who are much about animals, had jumped back just In time to es cape. New York Herald. BITS FROM THE WRITERS.

LOUDON APARTMENTS Renttag a Furnished Rat In the English Metropolis.

THE TRICKS OF THE AGENT. At First Everything Is Pleasant, but After the Place Is Taken the Woes of the Tenant Begin With the Advent of the Inventory Man. To the uninitiated American the rent of a furnished flat in London seems a very simple and remarkably inexpensive matter. Every one is extremely polite, and your path la made easy. But no sooner have you closed the door of your new quarters than you are beset by the bogy of "extra a." While yon are taklug a contented glance at the new domicile, congratulating yourself on the bargain and thinking bow much more a similar place would cost you in New York, your musings are interrupted by the arrival of tbe wan wltb the inventory. His business is to make an Inventory of every blessed thing your flat contains, from a four post bed to a kitchen spoon. At first you are vastly amused over the listing of such apparently Insignificant items as "a lincrusta Walton frieze," tbe number of tiles in tbe fireplace, the bolts on the windows, the locks on tbe doors, a description of the handles on tbe dressing chest and tbe number of screws therein, but wben you bave been dragged through every room, going over these to us absurd details, you plunge from rage to despair and finally collapse wben your tormentor at last departs. For this entertainment you bave paid from half a guinea (about $2. upward, according to tbe rent of your flat. But the real power of the inventory is only felt wben you take your departure. You may be morally certain that tbe only damage you hare done has been to break one or two teacups, for which you are quite prepared to pay an extortionate sum without a murmur. You may be sure of this, but presently you will receive a bill all neatly written out and covering several pages of foolscap and entitled "Dilapidations." You will find that In every room the walla have been "chipped." tbe enamel on tbe bathtub "slightly marred." a monogram on a napkin ring "scratched." several saucepans "damaged." a knife handle "bent." a number of plates "cracked." and eo on. I am quoting from n list of "dilapidations" presented to friends of mine wbo bad occupied a flat for two months, during whlcb time, after strenuous cleaning efforts, tbey left tbe premises in much better condition tban when tbey went in. Tbe bill amounted to 1 18a. 9d-.' roughly about $0.68. Here there is no such fact recognized as ordinary wear and 'tear on furniture. For tbe lease, wblcb is here called "agreement," you bave to pay from 10 shillings up to 3 guineas and more, according to rent. Tben tbe government stamp affixed thereto, without which tbe document is not legal, costs you from half a crown (62 cental to a guinea or more, again according to rent. Yon may bave taken your flat by "the month." but wben your agree ment is sent you find out it is for every four weeks! You will probably pbone tbe agent calling his attention to tbe error, and be will inform yon it is correct that way. In renting an unfurnished fiat, the shortest term for which is three years, you discover that tbe electric light fixtures are not included in the rental. Protest unavailing, yon buy them yourself and pay for their installation. You must rent also your own gas cooking stove. Yon fancy tbe fenders for the fireplaces must hsve been overlooked, bat not so; you must boy them yourself! As you bave been so accustomed to a continuous supply of hot water, it never occurred to yon to Inquire into tbe subject. Yon find yon can obtain it only by keeping a continuous fire in your kitchen range. As the penetrating, clammy gray horror of an English winter draws on you begin to appreciate what it means to be minus steam best. Your only defense are the coal fires, romantic in story, but totally inadequate to defy this marrow reaching, damp cold of London. Bathroom and balls remain at arctic temperature, for the grate fires do not radiate beyond a few feet, so yon may sit close and burn or retire to a corner and freese. After having learned through painful experience the futility of struggle against English ways and methods it Is amusing to watcb the explosive American, wbo in hotel office, at railway station and on steamships holds forth as to the various things be will not submit to. He is usually listened to wltb a certain exasperating deference at which tbe British underling Is a past master. But nothing is changed, and he has to submit, and tbe sooner the lesson is learned tbe more comfortable be will be. The Impenetrable stolidity of tbe average Briton is not to be disturbed, and tbe longer one remains in this country the more definitely one learns that tbe English people bave a pretty substantial idea of commercialism and that yon are paying for tbe lesson.

JUSTICE MOODY A REPORTED VICTIM Of ODD DISEASE

It Is Stated That Hands of Venerable Supreme Court Member Are Disabled by a Serious Malady. MAY NEVER SIT AGAIN IN EXALTED STATION An Awkward Situation Would Arise If He Should Linger, Because He Could Not Retire on Pay. Washington, D. C, Oct. 9. If confidential information that has reached Washington be correct, Associate Justice Moody, of the Supreme Court, probably never again will sit as a member on that bench. His physical con-i dition is much more grave than the public has been permitted to guess. Personal friends admitted to his sick chamber at the Moody home in Haverhill, Mass., have gone away very much alarmed by the emaciated appearance of the jurist and convinced that little short of a miracle can restore him to his former health an J physical and mental vitality. It was a few days before the close of the term of court of last May that J the justice was taken with a severe a- ! tack of rheumatism. Acting on the advice of physicians he left Washing- j ; ton at once for Hot Springs, Va.. i : where it was believed the baths would ' , be of benefit to him. Improving ' : slightly, Mr. Moody went to a sanitarium in New York. His condition I failed to improve and he was carried 1 to his old home in Haverhill. I Has Serious Malady. Although all reports as to his condition have confined his aliment to rheumatism, there is good reason to believe that Mr. Moody is afflicted with a disease more serious. A gentleman who recently conversed with intimate friends of the Justice in Haverhill, is authority for the statement that it is impossible for Mr. Moody even to lift bis hands. According to this authority, Mr. Moody is greatly emaciated. William Henry Moody is the youngest member of the Supreme court and the last of the appointees of President Roosevelt. He was secretary of the navy in the cabinet of Mr. Roosevelt, but was transferred to the department of justice to succeed Attorney-General Knox when the latter resigned. Mr. Moody was appointed a justice of the supreme court on - December 3, 1900, and was confirmed by the senate nine days later. He took his seat on the bench December 17, 15KKJ. If Justice Moody be incapacitated from serving as a member of tbe Supreme court, by reason of his illness, a unique situation will be presented, although it is not entirely without precedent in the history of the country. Must Serve Ten Years. In order to avail himself of the re tirement feature of the law concernI ing justices of the supreme court, a ! member must have served on that j bench for 10 years and reached the age of TO. Under such conditions he can retire on full pay. Removal from the supreme court can be brought about only through impeachment or death. Justice Moody has not served 10 years, nor is he anywhere near 70 years of age. For that reason, unless Congress were to pass a special act, he could not retire on pay. His failure to retire voluntarily, if his illness should continue, might embarrass the court, which, on this account would consist of an even number of members, a situation which might involve a delay of justice. If, however, the condition of Justice Moody be so grave as is reported, it is believed the personal friends of the ustice will find a way for him to retire and that congress will follow the precdent set in the case of one of the appointees of General Grant. Judge Ward Hunt, of New York, was appointed to the supreme court on December 11, 1872. Five years later he was incapacitated by mental disease from discharging his judicial duties. He was a poor man and did not retire. Four years afterward Congress finally passed a special act providing for his retirement on a full pension. The justice Immediately availed himself of the act. FAINTED III CROWD Miss Clara Jones became suffocated by the congestion of the enormous crowd at the corner of Eighth and Main streets last evening, about 10 o'clock, and fainted, causing great excitement for a few minutes.

CROOKS ARE FOILED Tried to Steal Money in Suit Case But Were Frightened Away ROBBERS ARE NOT KNOWN An effort was made by unknown parties to rob Lantz Kewlin and Orange Moss, two young men who operated a stand at Tenth and Main streets during the Fall Festival, as they were returning home last evening. The men were frightened away, however. It is believed that four were la the crowd. Tbe young men had started home late in the evening with about $G5 in a suit case and when they got to Seventeenth and North C streets, several men hid in a commons. When they reached Mr. Moss's home at 400 North Nineteenth street, the suit case was placed on the front porch and Mr. Moss went around to the rear of his residence to call his wife. A man stepped from the side of the house and onto tbe porch and another from the sidewalk Into the yard. Newlin, wbo was guarding the suit case, called his partner and the marauders took to flight. HUNT MISSING MAI1 Chief of Police Staubach has received a communication from Bluffton, Ind., to be on the lookout for a man by the name of Walter Shirer, of whom a description was furnished. The young man is alleged to be a sufferer from appendicitis and mysteriously disappeared from his home several days ago without leaving any trace as to his whereabouts. Relatives of Shirer are anxious to locate him and the police in the surrounding cities have been notified about the matter. Po.iliv Proof. A lawyer going luto the parlor ef bis home noticed pencil marks on tbe wall, put there, as be rightly supposed, by one of his children. He called his little five and six year old son and daughter in to see wbieh one had done the mischief. Of course each one blamed ft on tbe other, so tbe father said. "Well, my son. a little bird told me he was sitting on the fence and saw you through tbe window marking tbe wall Tbe little fellow answered. Get that bird and make him prove it." Delineator.
