, sea are supported in large part by the
railroads in whose yards they stand.
In a great many instances the ma-
nagement of railroad rest houses has
been placed in the hands of Young
, Men's Christian Association Secretar-
ies. Experience soon taught. that de-
nominationalism had no part in it.
, . Charges for membership are in most
j. .' cases one dollar a year. This rate pre.
‘- vails in nearly all the older associa-
tions, and. from this it is evident that
, the railroads must bear by far the inn,
ger percentage of the cost of main-
tenance; In the younger associations
the charges sometimes range from
three to five a your.
Besides the features enumerated
above, it has for sometime been the
practice of the highest officials of the
Pennsylvania system to take an active
interest. In thet'work, in the large:
centers, during the winter months, the
heads of various departments prepare
and read before classes papers touch-
q__in on their branches of railroading.
,M ‘, Amuse way, the men who are manag-
' “flag the railroad, and the men who are
operating, lt—the generals and privates
of the railroads army of 180,000 men,
come into personal contact. The widest
latitude in discussion and debate is al-
lowed at these lectures. Later the
lectures with the debates, questions
and answers attached, are printed and
distributed among the men. The range
of the lecture course covers every
groonnd of railroad activity.
There are in the United States 231
railway associations in charge of the
Y. M. O. A., but dlI‘eClly controlled by
the railway management. There are
double that number of rest houses
which have not yet passed into the
charge of the association: 0f the Y.
M. C. A. associations, 221 him: a total
membership of 87,800, and are growing
at a rate of more than 10.000 a year.
In 187 associations there are 7,292 men
serving on committees. The railway
libraries are valued at $103,017, furni-
ture at 3242.019, gymnasium fixtures at”
334,830, dormitory fixtures at $00,8I8,
restaurant equipment at $30,199 and
educational minimal at 320.59%.
, The current expenses of 214 asso-
ciation» are $930,573. The value . of
buildings owned. by the associations is
more than $4,000,000. From the re-
ports of all associations, 1,,011 lectur-

band arrived first and asked for

quest left his lips than in come anoths
parties looked at each other inquiring-1
1y, but. nothing was said.
Both parties to the case are . well
connected. The papers show that they
were married on September 29, 1901.
The wife alleged improper conduct
with parties unknown at the Hotel
Bartholdi, in New York, on October
11. 1000. The wife said that her hus-
band was worth $25,000 and she asked
for $10,000 alimony and the custody of
their three-ycnr-oid son, Charles Less
llc Allen.
The case was heard by State Ref-
eree William T. Elmer on January
4, and on January 18 Judge Wheeler
granted the decree of divorce upon
the finding of the referee.
The judgment was out of the usual
form. It provided for ~the divorce
and gave the wife the care, custody
and education of the child, but the
father was to have opportunity, at
reasonable times, to see his son.
Then the husband was to pay the wife
$500 a year, in monthly installment,
as long as both the .parties were alive
and so long as the wife remained
single. It was further provided that
the father should pay to Walter C.
McGee, of New York the sum of $750
a year, in monthly installments, for
the care and education of the child,
Just why copies of this judgment
are now in demand does not appear.
It is thought that there may be some
trouble over the payments of alimony
or possibly one of the parties has
passed to the undiscovered country
where divorce and alimony is not
recognized.

WHISTLE SOUNDED TEN MIN-
UTES.
Messrs. Editors: ‘
The tug Randell had occasion to go
through the bridges, this morning, to
move a mud scow llecuusc the rail-
road bridge was not npenml at once
(because of an express train thou
due). the captain tied down his whis-
tle cord and sounded the whistle con.
tinuously for about ten minutes. This
was entirely unnecessary and was an
annoyance to a great many people
throughout the city. Such a display
of ill temper starts the inquiry wheth-
er he is a. proper person to be in
charge of a steam vessel. If he will
refer to Pilot Rules, edition of July,
1907, which by law he must. have hang
tag in his pilot house, he will find on
page if: “Unnecessary sounding o
the steam Whistle is prohibited within
any harbor limits of the United
States."
Whenever any licensed officer
in charge of any steamer authorizes or
permits such mmccessnry whistling,
upon conviction thereof, before any
board of inspectors having jurisdiction
such ofiicer shall be suspended from
acting under his license as the in-
spectors trying the case may deem
proper."
We trust this kind of nuisance may
be suppressed. I

down the broad staircase, leading from
the second floor, across the landing on
the south side of the assembly and
then down to the main floor where the

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-—~The cues.
tion of a strike of printing preseason
and press feeders in cities of the
United Stews where recent demands
of the union for an eight hour day with
increased wages have not been granted
is now being decided by a referendum
vote of the members of the internation-
al Printing Pressman and Assistant's
Union. The vote was ordered by Presi-
dent George 1.. flurry of Cincinnati,
following the completion of an agree-
ment entered into between the New
York locals and the New York Print-
or's league comprising about eighty
firms of employing printers, which
become operative on November ill and
will continue until January 1, 1009. By
the terms of this agreement the am-
ployes will work eight hours a day and
the presumes will receive an increase
in their wages of it a week, making
their wages .23. The feeders signed a
scale of 110 per Week last March and
will be affected financially. The press-
men or feeders may be called on to
work six additional hours a week at
the singiotims hourly scale.
A similar agreement, it was stated
ago, St. Louis and one or two other ci-
ties. The number of men in this city
who would be affected by the We
