Peculiarities of a People Exactly
Like Whom There Is No Other.
GEOEGE SMITE AND HIS CRUSADE
In Behalf of a Class Whose Condition He
lias Much Bettered.
THEIR SAGE, PHILOSOPHER AXD FRIEND
rCOREEPPONDEN-CE OF Till: DISrATCH.
Ckick, England, Xov. 0. Here in this
little ancient English village, six miles of
sunny way from the nohle s,chool-tovn of
llucby, lives one of the most noted aud'cer
tiinly one of the worthiest men of England.
I am his friend and guest.
It is an humble abode, three three-century
old cabins, merged into one, with ga
bled roof, huse fireplaces, low ceilings, tiny
windows, and all manner of mysterious
cubby-holes, nooks and passage, and with
three of the sweetest women in England,
mother and two lovely maidens, to give the
quaint old place unceasing love and joy.
It is not the first time I have been here
at Crick. It is my only home spot in a
foreign land. "When tired of wandering up
and down the face of Britain, here is where
I conic for rest. There are both rest and
delight in old, old Crick; rest, because it is
one of the few of English villages -which
stands just as it always stood; where the
roar ot the workaday world's activities
never comes: where the old parish church,
the graveyard, the decayed manor houses,
the huge -tone doecotes which hou'-e 500
families of doves, the thatched farm labor
ers' cottages, the ivies and mossy walls, and
the simple villatre folk, all invite to repose;
and of delirfit, because, with my host and
iriend.George Sraith.of Coalville.sage, phil
osopher and philanthropist, we wander
among English lanes, find old paths over En
glish tields.hunt out English antiquities, visit
English battle-grounds, talk of andvisitthe
Gypsies and all the other lowly we both
know and love; and altogether lead a life,
for the few days we are hanpily together,
unmixed with envy, untainted by ambition
and idvllic in the loftiest friendship and
humblest content.
A True Children's Friend.
All good men and women who believe in
Hie bettering of the world through the
Ruing of its man-forsaken and almo God
forsaken children, should know something
of this man, George Smith, of Coalville, as
lie is everywhere in England called. Xo
other Englishman, perhaps no other man,
ever accomplished so much for helpless
children. lie was born to a brickworker's
life in 1831. His father before him was a
brickw orker. The boy grew up in the mis
ery and ilrudgerv of the English brick
yards. While still a lad ot 7 years, his
labor, like thousands of other brickvard
children, was to continually carry 40 pounds
nf clay on his head irom the brick pile to
the table on which the bricks were made,
liefore his father had reached IS years of
age he had traveled nearly lour times the
distance around the eaith in the same toil.
He realized the brutality and misery
which he suffered, and with which all brick
yard children were surrounded, with a pur
pose. With every cuff, kick and oath ad
ministered was again clinched a determina
tion to emancipate himself and his kind.
Prom the extra fee secured by watching the
brick kilns two nights ot each week, he got
four years of night schooling and a lew
books. "When he had reached mau's estate
he became the "George Smith, of Coalville,"
whose name all England now knows almost
as a household word, by securing the man
agement of a small red-brick yard at that
place. He made the owners rich, but
eventually lost his position through his
ceaseless agitation in behalf of the brick-3-aru
children.
Grand Cattle Against Uig Odds.
It is a long, heartbreaking story, that of
his starvation , suffering, contumely and
sacrifices, until he made all England hear
liim. His grand battle for these helpless
ones was made along all lines in marvelous
and sympathetic simplicity, but with the
tremendous fonw of personal suffering. He
will carry to his grave the scars of hurt
and wrong that, the children for whom he
pleaded were enduring. He had something
to tell of ongoings in English brick fields
and brick yards: and he "bulked it out," as
he hiroeli says iu his work, "The Cry of
the Children From the Brickyards of Eng
land," iu ail "its largeness and stiame."
In brief, he found, as a lad of 7 years,
30,00u irls and boys, manv more youthful
than himself, in a condition ot abuse,
horrible slavery, vice, ignorance and
misery impossible for the pen of
even genius to describe. He worked,
rtarved and battled 30 years for
these children, and finally on the lfith
of August. 1871, heard the voice of the
Speaker of the House of Commons ring
out: "The ayes have it!" on the passage of
a bill, which became the fifth clause of the
"Factory and "Workshops Amendment
Act:" gave him the enthusiastic congratu
lations of the greatest men oi England; ied
Loid Sliaftsbury to exclaim: "Bless God
for His grace on your efforts;" and had
achie-ed for him the first great victory of
ids life. Alone and unaided one brickyard
graduate had rescued 30,000 fellows irom
the slavery and degradation of this incon
ceivably brutal and blighting form of child
labor; while the actual result was to send,
on January 1, 1872, 20,000 half-naked chil
dren out of the brick and tile yards to
school, and forever prohibit girls under 16
being employed in this form of labor.
Crusade for Canal-Hoat Children.
But George Smith, of Coalville, had only
beguu. His second crusade was in behalf
ot tne canal-boat children. As a boy slave,
lie had toiled in brickyards abutting the
canals. In these boats and barges he saw
thousands more children employed in a
drudgery equally murderous, and living in
a condition infinitely more degrading. Per
haps 125,000 persons, men, women and
children, were employed in navigating some
25,000 boats, over nearly 5,000 miles of
canals and navigable rivers in England.
They did not throng railway stations. They
were in secluded places: and even literature
had woen a poetic glamor about them.
Their poor children had dropped out of
sight. They were growing up in the stuffy
cabins almost like wild beasts. Thrashed,
kicked, beaten with ropeb, sticks and heavy
iron boots, many became as: stupid as the
asses which they drove. Blasphemy,
drunkenness, thieving, incest, and incon
ceivable degradation among these folk were
universal. This childrens' friend deter
mined to rescue these lost heathen as he
had lescued the canal-boat children.
He wrote thousands of letters and circn-
lais; tramped hundreds of miles along canal
banks; stormed the newspapers and be
sieged Parliament; and ail the while him
telf and lamily were numberless times suf
iering ior bread. Finally, in 1875, he man
aged to publish his book, "Our Canal Pop
ulation." "With this he made England
stand Btill and listen again. In 187G he had
succeeded in enlisting the government so
far that it instituted official inquiries and
took evidence; and then he was asked to
"i'ratnc a bill. This was "blocked" in all
manner of ways in committee, and for a
time the measure seemed lost; but on the
Sisal day of the session of Parliament in
August, '1877, but not until Home Secretary
Cross had been called to Osborne House for
an interview concerning the matter with
the Queen, who has always been
sympathetically and practically a friend
of this unlettered philanthropist, his
teeond great triumph for England's
lowly children was achieved, and the bill
was unanimously passed while, half faint
ing with anxiety, and with not a sixpence
in his pocket, he sat in the speaker gal
lery tliauking God for what had been ac
complished. "Reforms in a HiEht Direction.
TJricflv, tins bill provided for the regis
tration of canal boats in England by the
sanitary authorities precisely, the same as
any residence habitation, vhich absolutely
abolished the former abominable disease
breeding and carrying character of the tiny
crafts. It brought all the 40,000 canal
boat children under the education act, so
that by a system of passbooks they were
enabled to attend any school where they
might be temporarily tarrying. It abol
ished, by inspection on the part of local
authorities, all possibility of ipproper re
lations of canal boat folk who had hereto
fore been under no authority and surveil
lance. It limited the number of occupants
in the diminutive cabins, and it resulted
in placing three-fourths of the entire canal
folk of England in homes along the canal
banks. Evils, of course, btill exist; but the
change for the better has been of a marvel
ous character.
All the English midland canals are ot far
less capacity tliau our own. The bottoms
are in the form of an inverted arch; and the
locks are only seven feet wade. Conse
quently canal boats here are very diminu
tive. They are usually only from 25 to 30
ton boats; C feet and G"inches wide, 05 feet
long, and with only 3 feet of kecL The
cabins are therefore scarcely one-fourth the
size of those of our boats. They arc only. 5
feet wide and high and S feet long. From
3 to 4 feet of their height protrudes above
the deck. The" exposed sides are always
covered with most wonderful paintings rep
resenting the highest expression of art
among these lowly folk; and a dog-kennel
invariably surmounts the decorated cabin
top. "Within this 200 cubic feet of space are
a bed for the boatman and wife; a bunk be
neath for the children; a stove, locker and
hanging table, with an extraordinary col
lection of' crockery and cooking utensils
considering th e space: and opposite, is a
bench which is the parlor and dining room
by day, and boudoir for a grown-up son or
daughter, or a male "crew," at night.
Livins on IJolleu Dishes.
Like the Gipsies, the English canal folk
live well, but everything is boiled. Hodge
podges of beef and herrings, with the vege
tables which are got for a song, or for the
pulling, along their pleasant way, are the
favorite. In former times, when their con
dition was more heathenish, their food, and
all canal boat family aflairs, were on a level
with beasts. They are now more intelli
gent, independent.and as a consequence bet
ter paid. More than two-thirds live in
their own homes, and while still conducting
the boats, as families, the little cabins are
almost wholly in the nature of temporary
accommodations for a short journey. Be
sides fully one-third of the boatmen now
own their own boats, as with our own canal
ers. About one-third hire boats at about
10 shillings per w eek. supplying their own
help, animals and food, and earning good
profits from their responsibility and labor.
The remainder are owned by manufacturing
concerns, which employ their own boatmen.
Tbe dress of these lowly people is quite
distinctive and often unique. The men are
always attired in flannel jackets and shirts,
open at the neck and with a gaudy colored,
or black, handkerchief under their wide
collars, similar to the London costermong
ers; a billy-cock hat, or fur cap with visor
in winter "and summer: moleskin or flannel
trousers; and heavy hob-nailed boots, iu the
front of which there must always be a
leather tongue or flap, which falls down
over the foot, and which is invariably deco
rated with all manner of curious notches
and punctures. All the women and girls
wear flaming quilted calico hoods, similar
in appearance to a small old-fashioned "sun
bonnet." Aprons match the hoods. A
tinv red shawl, pinned at the throat by a
massive brooch, falls over the shoulders.
The dress is of heavy woolen stuff, usually
dark in color, with short petticoats; and be
neath these appear high "navy" hob-nailed
boots, laced with stout leather thongs. Un
derclothing is absolutely a superfluity.
"Work of the Women.
The girls and the women steer the craft,
and drive the animals, usually broken-down
cab horses, or asses, sitting astride. Only
about 30 miles' distance per day is made, as
the English canal boat always "stables" for
the night; and all "reliefs" of labor are in
dicated by landmarks, such as tunnels, locks,
inns and bridges, and are not made at stated
hours. At the side of every English canal
are iound little inns, no liiore than a mile
apart, which" are always public house si
where there are also canal-side wharves
These inns provide stabling for the animals,
and sell their owners bags of horse food con
sisting of mixed chopped hay, oats and
horse-beans. Arrived at one of these for
the night, the crews repair to the taproom
where "four-ale" or rum, as is the custom
among the laboring classes everywhere in
England, are drunk sparingly, while yarns
are spun and ancient and savory pipes are
smoked, until the closing, at 10 o'clock. At
that hour 100,000 canal folk are "turning
in" for the night in their tiny cabins,
moored beside the bosky banks of canals in
the slumbrous English valleys the women
first; the men afterward. 'And all these
100,000 now civil, simple and honest folk
are up and away at 4 o'clock in the morning,

A Celestial Phenomenon Thnt TV1U
Visible In l'lttsbarjr To-Morrow.
To-morrow evening if the sky is clear an
interesting celestial phenomenon will pre
sent itself. There is then to be a total
eclipse of the moon. The eclipse begins
early in the evening, and will be oyer by 9
o'clock.
The moon rises above the horizon of Pitts
burg at 4:57, and it loses no time in begin
ning its Sunday evening exhibition, as it
will enter the shadow of the earth when' it
has scarcely attained an altitude of 8. In
fact it really rises partially obscured as it
win enter the penumbra ot the eartn s
shadow at 4:36, or nearly half an hour before
rising. Most observershowever, will notice
but very little diminution in its brightness
until it enters the shadow proper, which
will be at 5:35. The times ot tne phases
visible at Pittsburg are here given in stand
ard time:
Moon enters shadow 5h,
Total eclipse begins Mi
Middle ot the eclipse 7h
Total eclipse ends 8b.
Moon leavesshadow 9h,
Moon leaves penumbra loii.
This eclipse will be visible throughout
the United States and in South America,
Europe, Asia, Africa, the Atlantic Ocean
and the Eastern part of the Pacific Ocean.
At Dubuque, la., and Peoria, 111., the
eclipse begins exactly at moonnse. At St.
Louis, Kansns City and New Orleans the
moon is partially eclipsed when it rises, and
it rises totally eclipsed at Denver, Salt Lake
City and San Francisco.
At the time of the eclipse the moon is
very close to its ascending node, and is in
the constellation Aries, the Bam at the be
ginning, and in Taurus the Bull at the end
of the eclipse. At the middle of the eclipse
the moon will be in the zenith in longitude
from Greenwich 8 29' w. and in latitude
18 23' north.

SMILING THROUGH' GRIEF.
In Spite of tho Worries Which All Women
nave, They Appear Well nnd Happy
How to Make This Apparent Happiness
Keal.
"Yes," said an eminent physician recently,
"I do not think I exaggerate when I say that
one-half of the suffering and sickness which
exists among women might and should be
avoided.
"How? Listen and I will tell you. Fains
and weakness and the little cares, which no
man other than a physician suspects, fre
quently combine to make women mora or
less miserable. YPt they come up smiling
nearly always, hiding beneath their seeming
happiness an infinity of mental and physical
torture. This is all wrong. Woman was
born to Drightness and happiness; she needs
strength to resist her many trials. Her body,
her mind and all her faculties and functions
must bo put into a bealty condition or she
cannot secure strength, and where nature
fails she must be assisted. Here is where
stimulants prove so valuable.
"Yes, I mean spirits, but not the spirits of
the saloon; and while I rebommeud whiskey
as the host nnd most usefnl of spirits, I am
always most careful to impress upon my
patients the necessity of obtaining it abso
lutely pure.as impure whiskey is worse than
useless." It has been agreed by the leading
scientists and physicians of the day that
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is absolutely
pure. The proper use of it will strengthen
the norves, blood nnd body. It is not u bever
age, but is designed for medicinal use. It
stimulates all the faculties of the body and
mind, adds energy and strength ana builds
up waste tissue. It maybe obtained from
your druggist or grocer. In Justice to your
self, see that you obtain the genuine Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey, and do not be satisfied
with any substitute which may be offered as
Just as good.
