Si A LITTLE RAKE OFF Demanded From Merchants by Ser- vants in Large Establishments. BOTLERS AND EVEN COOKS STEWARDS, | Commissions Are Paid or the Trade is Taken Elsewhere. PROPOSED OPPOSITION In France and England universally, and In other European states cnly to a lese jegree, the merchants who provide the ar- ticies necessary for the conduct of a rich man’s establishment recognize in the but- ward a supreme power th fated if the trade and pr that particular mansion fs to foliow. The system is a living illustration of the poet's “That thrift may follow fawning; the fawning in this particular in- stance must be of the substantial sort that rattles crisply or jingles with a true and inspiring ring. In a werd, no continental merchant would ever dream of purveying for th of a rich man without paying age of the sales incident upon h vervice to the rich man’s steward or Abroad this percentage is estab- y long custom and cantinued usage 10 per cent.

It is so ch of a fact that sev ree and in- ential merchants wh. in groceries, provisions and simi nmodities have been seriously consid the priety of maxing open war upen the custom of rich people's employes demanding tribute for the trade of their employers, which they govern and direct. These merchan be it understood, are those who have re- fused to pay to the powers that lurk below stairs the percentage they have demanded with open and brazen impudence and who have ¢ quently been refus e which they would have It is only the unwelcome y course would entail that has thus far pre vented action, as well as the fact that other merchants who submit to the blackmail becaus> they are afraid to refuse when levied upon would be placed in an unen Viable light before their other customers who do their own buying and the pur- chasing public generally. But that such a move will be made if the custom ts con- tinued be set down as an absolute and undeniable fact.

Frank Ward's Experience. Sometimes the caller is treated like the late Frank Ward, the dairyman, was by a wealthy resident. Ward was supplying milk to the big mansion, and refused to pay the butler a percentage on his sales. The or- ders stopped coming, and Ward called on the master of the house and stated the facts. “I cannot be bothered about such things,” said the rich man. “If the man wants something for giving you our trade I reckon the best thing you can do is to give it to him.” And he got no further satisfaction. Some rich men, however, do not approve of such practices. They feel that they pay their upper seryants sufficiently, and that the blackmail levied on merchants by such employes must necessarily be paid by them- selves in the way of increased charges. The late Congrefsman William L, Scott was one of these. One day several years ago he entered one of the leading grocery stores in the city. “] understand that you refuse to pay com- missions to servants for the trade they bring you,” he remarked. fie was told that such was the case. “Then I want to open my account here,”* returned Mr. Scott. “Il pay my servants good wages, and 1 do not propose they shall o'clock p.m. See advt .

It is customary among all merchants to give occasionally articles of this sort as presents to servants in the houses they supply, and @ case of beer was sent to the cook. She ade a similar request shortly afterward, and when refused threatened to divert the trade elsewhere. The grocer’s agent called the attention of the lady of the house to the affair, and the cook was dismissed. senate asain DEFECTIVE BUCKLE. The Cause of the Death of Thos. Connors. Coroner Hammett held an inquest yester- day afternoon over the remains of Thomas Connors, the lineman who was killed by falling from a pole of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company in an alley near 13th and G streets northwest Wed- nesday afternoon. As stated yesterday, Connors was considered one of the best linemen in the city, and because of his popularity among his co-workers many of them were present at the inquest. Several of them gave evidence in the case, which was heard by the members of the jury, as well as by Lawyer Hackett for the tele- phone company and Lawyer Sillers, who represented the Linemen’s Association and the family. The linemen who were called as witnesses told of the dangerous nature of the work, and one witness, a citizen who was near the scene of the accident, described the fatal fall. The belt strap and buckle worn by the unfortunate man were shown to the jury. The breaking of the buckle, which was made .f cast fron, caused the man’s fall. Witnesses said that the belt was the prop- erty of the telephone company, and had the buckle been made of wrought iron or steel instead of cast iron the accident would not have happened. The hearing lasted three hours, and the jury returned a verdict that the man’s death resulied from an accidental fall, due to the breaking of a defective buckle. The jury also recommended the use of two belts in the future, and that the buckles be made of wrought iron or steel instead of cast iron. ‘The funeral of the dead man will take place Sunday afternoon. SS AMUSEMENTS, The Philharminic Club Concert.—The Phil- harmonic Chib gave its first concert of the season at Metzerott Hall last night. The at- tendance and the program were both satis- factor} he interest of the audience cen- | tered chiefly in Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, who bad heralded as the posessor of a wonderful voice as to compass, a remarka- ble voice us to flexibility and a good voice as to quality. The audience found that Miss Yaw's voice obeys, with almost alarm- 1s facility, every caprice of the singer, and t her range is something remarkable. Her lower notes are hardly sufficiently reso- snt, but her highest notes are wonderfully ear and brilliant. She sings with the greatest ease, and takes the most difficult rons with perfect confidence. She is a bril- liant concert singer and will always attract and please the average audience. Her first number was “The Russian Nightingale,” and her second, “Villanelle,” by Dell Acqua, in the latter of which she gave the first ex- hibiuon ef voeal pyrotechnics that dazzled and delighted her audience. No criticism could be made as to the range of her voice or the ewse with which she executed diilicul- ties. Proch’s theme and variations gave her the Widest opportunity to display her talents, and the people responded with ap- plause- Her encore was the laughing song from “Manon de and wi Giis soe was the least s .
