A Little .Surprise.
A London dispatch says that George
M. Barnes, secretary of the Amalga
mated Society of Engineers and one of
the British labor commissioners who
recently visited the United States with
Mr. Mosely, has made public some of
bis impressions, which rather surprise
those who have had experience on both
sides of the Atlantic. Mr. Barnes says
of the labor conditions of the two coun
tries that, so far as wages are con
cerned, England lags considerably, but
that in every other respect the com
parison is In her favor.
"The most noticeable drawbacks in
America," he said, "are the congested
character of the workshops, the disre
gard for the comfort of the workers
and the bad sanitation. I am persuaded
that on tlie whole the workmanship of
the American mechanic is inferior to
that of his British cousin. This, how
ever, Is not so observable in the engi
neering industry as in others.
"With regard to working hours, as a
rule they are longer than in England,
especially in the engineering trade, but,
as I have indicated, the wages are
higher.
"With regard to the social conditions
of the American workman, I think they
are considerably less pleasant than
those prevailing in this country."
Child Labor In New York.
A remarkable revelation of child la
bor in this city is about to be made
which many who have studied the
matter declare will show that more
child labor exists in New York than in
nil the states of the south combined. It
will be a revelation of children put to
work under the legal age through the
Widespread perjury of parents; of chil
dren growing up illiterate under the
shadow of New York's great public
schools; of children stunted In mind
nnd body by bard work and long hours
In their growing years and of a whole
host of "outlaw" children protected by
no law whatever.
The facts on which this revelation is
based have been gathered in the last
six months by the child labor commit
tee of New York. Last May the settle
ment workers of the city organized for
taking concerted action on the child la
bor question. A child labor committee
was appointed, with Robert Hunter,
head of the University Settlement, as
chairman. This committee has since be
come an independent body backed by
about 100 of the strongest philanthro
pises and reformers In New York.—New
York Tribune.
MIMIIIK the stitch Iu Time.
An interesting illustration of how
great and costly strikes may result
from the action of an employing corpo
ration on misinformation was given by
one of the speakers at the Civic federa
tion meeting. A railroad strike tying
up the intercommunication of three
counties, lasting seven months, involv
ing the presence of state troops nnd
costing the counties Involved about
$43,000 In addition to the losses inci
dental to the suspension of travel, be
gan with the discharge of a man who
had run a train off at a switch. When
the matter was finally settled, the com
pany Investigated the accident, discov
ered that the pan arbitrarily dis
charged was not in any sense at fault
and promptly reinstated him. To have
found this out when the accident hap
pened would have been an important
economy.—New York Times.
Fever In Children.
One need not wait for the full devel
opment of a fever In children before be
ing fairly certain as to its character.
There are always early signs. Head
ache is so common that it nmst he dis
regarded. Discharge from the nose and
eyes and redness of eyes, with cough
and quickened breathing, indicate mea
sles. The signs are very similar to those
seen at the beginning of severe nasal
catarrh. In scarlet fever these ca
tarrhal signs are absent, but we find
a characteristic tongue coated on the
upper surface and with red tip and
edges.

WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence.]
Probably the most sumptuous smok
ing rooms lu this country are those
trliich the government bus provided for
the members of the house of repre
sentatives in the rear of representa
tives' hall. The chairs are luxurious
affairs, upholstered lu buff leather,
while the couches and sofas are of the
same material. The rugs and pictures
are as fine as those found in any of
the public buildings, and here the mem
bers retire and smoke and gossip and
yet are able to keep track of what is
going on lu the house through the
wide, swinging glass doors. There is
but one rule In the smoking room, and
it applies to that used by the Demo
crats as well ns that of the Repub
licans. It hangs In the center of the
wall of each and reads, "Strangers
and cigarettes not permitted in this
room." The rule is religiously obeyed,
although nobody seems to know who
tirst promulgated it. The most atro
cious cabbage cigar is permitted to ex
haust itself, but the finest Turkish
cigarette is not tolerated for an instant.
Recently Congressman Joy of Missouri,
who 1b a confirmed consumer of paper
pipes, inadvertently lighted one in the
Republican smoking room. Before he
had taken a second whiff several of
the members ordered an assistant ser
geant-at-arms to read the rule to him.
Mr. Joy dropped his cigarette and
made his way to the house restaurant,
where everything goes.
White House Kleetrle Plant.
The lighting of the White House will
be a feature of future receptions. The ;
rehabilitation of the White House in- ;
eluded the installation of a complete
new electrki.plant. The contract was
let to Harry Alexander of New York.
Mr. Alexander sent one of the most ex
pert electricians in the country to su
perintend the work. This was Charles
M. Maxwell, who had been in charge
of the electrical exhibits at the Paris
exposition and who was formerly su
perintendent of electric lighting for
George A. Fuller & Co., the contractors
and builders. Mr. Maxwell took great
pride in the work and has received
many compliments on his successful
efforts. Speaking of the plant, Mr.
Maxwell said:
"The electrical installation in this
building is the result of six months'
hard work. There are in all about 168,-
000 feet of electric wire, all of which is
inclosed in iron conduits, each system
being entirely distinct one from an
other."
To Patrol the Atlantic Coast.
One of the most Important develop
ments of the new system of nuvul
mobilization adopted hy the navy de
partment Is the establishment of a
coast division of the north Atlantic
squadron. Its duty will be to patrol the
Atlantic coast. Rear Admiral J. U.
Sands, now In command of the League
Island navy yard, will be given the
command, with the battleship Texas as
his flagship, the squadron including the
monitors Puritan, Amphltrlte, Mlau
tonomob, Terror and Arkansas nnd the
monitors Nevada and Florida as soon
as they are commissioned, together
with the torpedo boat destroyers Deca
tur and Cliauucey, hulf a dozen torpedo
boats comprising a torpedo boat flotilla
and the submarine Holland and subma
rines Adder nnd Moccasin when they
are commissioned.
Bachelor. Are Scarce.
The woeful absence of the eternal
masculine In Washington has an Impor
tant bearing upon the leniency of social
arbiters. The national capital comes
dismally near being an Adainless Eden
so far as single men are concerned.
Owing to the dearth of commercial
and Industrial possibilities practically
all the ambitious young men migrate as
soon as they are old enough to come !
to u realization of the situation, where- |
as most of the men who come to the
dream city on the Potomac as members
of congress or to assume governmental
positions are married, and not a few of j
them leave sous at borne and bring '
daughters—allured by the prospect of a
social career—to swell the hopeless sur
plus of young unmarried women.
Senator Hoar'. Little Joke.
"Can I say that you have been talk
ing to the president on the trust prob- |
lent?" asked a reporter of Senator Hoar
when he came out of the president's
ofllce this morning. The senator smiled
his most seraphic smile, stopped, looked
at the sky and said.
"Let me see. Yes, you could say that
Certainly you could say it"—
"Then, senator"— the reporter Inter
rupted.
Senator Hoar waved his hand.
"Yes," he said again, "you could say
that, but It wouldn't be true."
And the venerable man from Massa
chusetts chuckled for three blocks.
One on Senator Nelson.
During the speech of Senator Nelson
of Minnesota against the admission of
Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona
as states the senator said that 50 per
cent of the population of New Mexico
is Spanish and Mexican. Delegate Ro
dey of New Mexico, who was listening
to the speech, scribbled a note and
sent it to Nelson. It said:
Dear Senator—l recently had occasion to
inquire Into the matter, and much to my
surprise I find that 67 per cent of the
population of Minnesota is Norwegian.
How on earth did that state get in?
Opulence In Washington.
Washington society now contains a
larger percentage than usual of the
opulent iu addition to the more than
comfortably well off. Borne of the
great fortunes of the coutinent are be
ing centered here in preference to the
metropolis; hence these dinners, these
dances nnd these dinner dances; hence
these orchids, this champagne and ter
rapin, this feast of pate de fole grae
and flow of burgundy.

The SPORTING WORLD
Jimmy Brltt'a Career.
Jimmy Britt, who defeated Frank
Erne In seven rounds and thus put
himself In line to light for the light
weight championship, is a native of
San Francisco and Is twenty-two years
old.
At the age of eighteen he took up
with boxing and until a year ago was
the amateur lightweight champion of
the Pacific coast. While as an amateur
JIMMY BRITT.
Brltt's record was Interesting. After
trimming all the men In 1I!B own class
he went afield for bigger game and
even to taking on a 100 pounder.
Brltt got tired of winning medals,
and In the professional ranks he
thought he could make considerable
money. His first professional mill was
with Tobjk Irwin before the Acme Ath
letic club of Oakland, Cal. It lasted
fifteen rounds, and It wus evident that
Irwin had met his master.
The next fight was with Tim Heg
urty, the Australian boxer, who came
to this country to lose the big reputa
tion that he had won 011 Ills own heath.
Timothy was knocked out cold In the
eighth round by one of Jimmy's lefts
and has not done much since.
The third contest was with the fa
mous Kid Lavlgne, the Saginaw won
der. Brltt beat him to a standstill In
eight rounds, and the Michigan boy's
brother threw up the sponge to save
him from a knockout and serious in-
Jury.
An to Anaconda.
The case of Anaconda Illustrates the
fact that the lot of the outclassed horse
is a pretty hard one, even If he be out
classed by but the least trifle, as Ana
conda Is. The "snake hoss" can still
pace several heats In a row around 2:02
and 2:03. But unlesß he catches him
off he can't beat Prince Alert, and he
must meet him every time he starts
next season.
A great many people do not expect to
see him beat Audubon Boy next sum
mer and perhaps two or three others
that might be numed. If he races on
the grand circuit, he will probnbly
have to be content with second or third
money as a general thing, which Is not
particularly glorious nor especially
profitable.
But there is practically nowhere else
for him to race, for he can beat all the
second class pacers so easily that they
would not enter nor race against him
In the free for alls on the minor tracks.
Just where to place him becomes, there
fore, a problem.
The general Impression Is that be Is
a difficult horse to drive and not an
ideal roadster. But for that he would
probably find his way into some speed
way stable. He has won nearly 100
heats hi standard time and' probably
twenty-five In 2:05 or better, his earn
ings reaching close to $30,000.
Career of Champion Keane.
Figure or "fancy" skating Is one of
tlio most difficult branches of the game
to master. Years of persistent practice
are required before a mun can perform
creditably. Dr. Arthur O. Keaue, the
present champion of the United States,
has successfully defended the title for
four consecutive years, and the Indica
tions are that he will continue to hold
It for some time.
Dr. Keane is a native of New York
city and, strange to say, has never
competed outside of that city. In 1808
he defeated George D. Phillips, who
had held the leadership for several
years and who worsted Keane In 1806
and 1807.
International Che.. Date..
The Brooklyn Chess club has re
ceived from the City of London Chess
club notice that April 3 and 4 would be
dates agreeable to the City of London
Chess club on which to play the next
International match for the Sir George
Newnes Anglo-American chess trophy,
now In possession of the Brooklyn
Chess club.
The dates will probably be accepted
by the American committee, as that Is
the time when it Is expected that Har
ry N. Pillsbury and F. J. Marshall will
be In London, after the conclusion of
the Monte Carlo masters' congress.
Goodman Wont, to Fight.
Chester Goodman, the Boston ban
tam, who broke one of his bands In a
recent tilt, has sufficiently recovered
and wants to fight again. He says that
he is ready to engage in a mill with
either Casper Leon or Danny Dougher
ty of Philadelphia.
FOR THE CHILDREN
A Blind Squirrel.
"Here, Bunny, Bunny, Bunny!" It
was the day of the first snowfall of
this season, and the woman who called
was one of the many women who find
pleasure In going to Central park dally,
carrying with them bags of nuts with
which to feed the squirrels that find
their homes there.
As she called there was a flash of
gray, a whisk of a bushy tall, and there
appeared before her a lively little ro
dent with his tiny hand raised dramat
ically to his breast A dull, white eye
ball told the story of sightlessness In
one eye.
"You see," said the woman, turning
to an Interested onlooker, as the Bqulr
rel began feeding, "you see, when these
little one eyed pets are eating they al
ways sit with the blind side toward
their benefactor while devouring the
dainty given them. Do you know why
that is?
"Well," she explained, throwing the
squirrel another nut, "they are con
scious that they are near a friend and
need not watch her closely, so they
keep a sharp lookout on the other side
for stray dogs or other enemies."
True enough. Even as the woman
spoke one of the many dogs that take
their dally airing up and" down the
walk by the West drive escaped from
Its young mistress and, with Its leader
dangling, made a dash for the squirrel.
There was another flash of gray, a
whisk of a bushy tail and a sharp
squeak of fear as the wary little crea
ture with the one eye darted away to a
safe bough to blink and chatter and
finish his peanut in safety.
"Are there many of these blind squir
rels In Central park?" asked the on
looker of the woman, who seemed
versed In Bquirrel lore.
"There are a good many, I'm afraid.
You see, It Is the work of mischievous
boys who come here to the park with
slingshots, diabolical little Instruments
of wood and rubber, and deliberately
shoot out thi eyes of those harmless
creatures. However, the policemen
keep u sharp lookout for such boys,
nnd their misdemeanors are becoming
fewer, as they have learned that a park
policeman swings his stick with much
vigor."—New York Tribune.
Up From Ilnmble Boyhood.
Difficulties and small beginnings
needn't discourage a boy. For Instance,
one of the most respected ministers In
New York city, a mun whose opinion Is
asked on all the questions of the day,
who dines with President Roosevelt and
who Is Invited to California and Cana
da and variouß places to lecture to
great crowds of people, find to leave
school and work for $1.50 a week to
help take care of his mother when he
was only nine years old.
The first trousers he and bis little
brother had were made of a figured
skirt of their mother's. The boys were
too big for skirts, and yet she was too
poor to buy cloth. The clergyman, who
Is white haired now, says he will never
forget the day he put on those bright
colored trousers. The design was such
a large one that only by standing side
by side so their four legs were In a row
could they piece out a whole figure.—

Ink and Flak Trick.
This Is really a first class delusion.
You first brlug before the spectators a
glass vase full of Ink. You dip a ladle
Into It and pour out some of the Ink
upon a plate In order to convince the
nudicnce that the substauce In the vase
Is really Ink. You then throw a hand
kerchief over the vase and Instantly
withdraw It, when the vase Is found to
be filled with pure water, In which a
couple of goldfish ure swimming.
formed as follows: To the Interior of
the vessel Is fitted a black silk lining
which adheres closely to the sides
when pressed nnd which Is drawn In
side the handkerchief during the per
formance of the trick. The ladle has a
hollow handle with an opening Into the
bowl. In the handle Is n spoonful or so
of Ink which runs Into the bowl when
It Is held downward during the act of
dipping It Into the vase.
A New Railway Term.
A small boy was traveling with his
father on an "accommodation" train. A
stop was made at a little distance from
a country station and the rear cars left
standing on a curve while the engine
and forward cars went on to do some
switching.
The laddie became restless and slip
ped away from his father and was
BOOH hanging half out of a window In
the rear .of the coach. Presently his
surprised little face reappeared, aud he
shouted to Ills father:
"Oh, papa, papa, the train has all
come unbuttoned!"
Where Flint Comes From.
You never would think of It, would
you? But I'm told that flint Is nothing
more or less than sponge turned to
stone. Once the sponge grew on the
bottom of the sen, as other sponges
grow now, but that was ages and ages
ago. and since then the sponge, turned
flint, hns laid covered by rocks and
earth of many kinds piled thick above
It. Seen with a microscope flint shows
the make of sponge in Its fibers.
A Better Name.
When three-year-old Lawrence came home
from the zoo
And described It to all who would hear,
Ills uncle, to tease him, leaned forward
and asked,
"Can you say 'zoological,' dear?"
Poor Lawrence was silent and squirmed
in his chair
While his little face flushed and grew
dark;
Then, raising his eyes, he courageously
said,
"Uncle Dicky, I call It 'Noah's ark!' "

TOWING IN A STORM
There were four barges In tow on
Lake Erie In November. First came
the McDougal. I was on the Buckout;
then came the Betts and last the NorrlsJ
Well, a gale came up and right square]
after us. We got clear of Point Pelee.
and well out In the lake by daylight,;
and the steam barge checked down for
fear of breaking the towline.
We dived and plowed nnd sheered
and rolled and jumped till afternoon
before anything of interest happened.,
It was about 2 o'clock when I hoard)
some one astern shouting. "Buckout!
ahoy-y-y!" I called the captain, a lit
tle, dried up, flannel mouthed Irishman,
to answer the hall.
"Phot do thot crazy Frenchman
want?" he asked.
I told him I had no Idea, and be came
on deck and stood with one hand on the
tow post to hold himself from going
overboard till he learned.
Again came the hall from astern.
"Hello!" shouted the Irishman In an
swer.
"Pass the word!" came from the Betts.
"All rolgbt!"
Then cajne a lot of sounds in broken
Canadian French, which made the
Irishman say: "Would yez listen to
thot, now! Phot thedivll lshetroln' to
suy?" Then lie howled: "Phot do yez
soy? Talk United States!"
Then we heard: "The Betts, she's
waterlog. Pass de word to de cap-i-tafi
to pull hunder Long point."
The Irlslimnn went forward and hail
ed the McDougal. The captain of that
craft happened to he a Swede.
"Wot-a you want?" he called In an
swer to the hall.
"Pass the woord!"
"Ole a right. Wot-a you say?"
Then the Irishman mixed his brogue
and the French Canadian dialect and
the information that Betts was water
logged and the wish of the crew that
the steam barge would pull under
Long point Into one mass of noise and
east It forth upon the water.
There was a short silence, nnd then
came back the maddening refrain,
"A-wot-a you say?"
The Irishman walked the deck and
cursed so that every syllable could
hnve been heard at the steam barge,
but when he at last tried to convey the
Information concerning the misfortune
of the Betts he was answered by, "I
hear you a-swear, but wot-a you say?"
Then the Irishman cut It short.
"Ye ould Soweglan, Oi said thot the
Betts was watherlogged. Can yez un
derstand thot?"
"Yaas."
"And they want the ould man to pull
under Long point."
"Ole a right," came back the answer,
and the fall- haired descendant of the
Norsemen went forward to puss the
word to the steam barge.
In a little while tli. Swede again
hailed 11s, and the Irishman went for
ward. The Swede's voice was good,
aud I could hear every syllable dis
tinctly.
"The ole-n man says to tell the cap
tain of the Betts to a go to 1"
The Irishman came aft and passed
the comforting message to the Betts.
"Thot Frenchman Is crazy,".said the
Irishman byway of comment. "Sure,
he should know thot to troi to pull this
tow off Into the troughs of the sea
would break it up In a second."
The Betts dived more deeply and
sheered worse as the hours went by.
Twice the Frenchman Induced the
Irishman to pass the word, that the
Betts was sinking, and the same ste
reotyped reply came hack regarding
where the captain of the Betts could
go if he didn't like the way the steam
barge was towing him.
It was about 4 o'clock, and everybody
was aft watching for the line to part,
when the Betts took a long, rolling,
lazy sheer, and a cloud of mist half
way between us told us the craft was
adrift. The crew, huddled together 011
the house, made a run for the rigging,
and she broached to in the troughs of
the Nca. When she came out of the
first sen, the deckload was gone, but
the crew was safe half way between
rail and trucks. Tbe Norris, astern,
had cut adrift from her at once, tbe
line had parted and a little mutton leg
sail was run up. Under this she came
011. passed the tow und beat It to Buf
falo by tliree hours.
We got there In tbe morning, and at
about noon the Betts was sighted wal
lowing along in the troughs. No tug
would go out, and we watched her
drift toward the breakwater. Every
third sen would completely cover her
decks, and she rolled like n drifting
log. Everybody, including the woman
cook, was lushed to the rigging, aud j
when she eventually got within reach 1
of the tugs there was not one of them
had strength enough to take a line.
The tugs managed to get her before
she struck nnd towed her under the
breakwater. No one died or was hurt, |
and every one of that crew knew that :
had the tow barge attempted to pull
under Long point there would have
been four waterlogged barges drifting
Into Buffalo instead of one.
Of course it looked as If some one
would be drowned, and there was
nothing to lough at, but I think I
laughed more, and harder listening to
the Frenchman, Irishman and Swede
cursing each other and trying to pass
the word than I ever have before or
3lnce. |
Tolstoi as a Shoemaker.
Count Tolstoi, gs is well known, al

which boots ore the admiration of the
Hhocntiikor who taught him the trade.
But the latter was certain that the
count would starve did he endeavor to
earn a living by boot manufacturing, as
tho work put into each pair was too ex
cellent and slow to prove profitable.

Who Suffer.
Miss Nettie Fitzgerald, of Rutland,
Vt., says: "My sickness began with a
stomach and liver trouble, and then fol
lowed extreme nervousness and an af
fection of the kidneys, and I was con
fined to my bed in a helpless oondltion.
My attending physician could not find
any medicine to help me. At this crit
ical moment Or. David Kennedy's Favor

procured a bottle, and it was just the
right thing. I began to pick up in
strength, and it made a perfectly well
woman of me."
Four physicians attended the daugli
terof Mrs. l.auraA. Kempton, of West

Wright's Disease. Her ankles, feet and
eyes were terribly swollen, and her life
was despaired of. But a mother's love
surmounts all difficulties, and she deter
mined to try Dr. David Kennedy's Fa
vorite Remedy. "How happy lam,"
Mrs. Kempton writes, "that I followed
that course, for one by one ..well
! known symptoms of the disease left
her. Words cannot express my grati
tude, and I cannot too earnestly recom
mend this great medicine. Her recov
ery was entirely due to Favorite Rem
edy, which was the only medicine taken
after her case was abandoned by the
physicians." Dr. David Kennedy's Fa

where the disease was within the range
of medicine.
