STOKKItU OX t?1'l{AM8Hlf*#. Hot?XVi !inli:r?-K Of Hiv I .lt CN Of Milli Wini Wurk llitil in Mood 1'urtion?*. "How lon}; do stokers livo?" asked a ; Tribuno reporter of nu engineer ol one . of lin- s\siio;.L ocean racers Unit ply bo '. twoon this country uiul Langland. ..As long as anybody," was tuc unex pected reply. ..How do they Uko their work?" ..If they dont like their work, they get Old-; there are plenty willing to take their places,'' was the answer. Mut it is hard to persuade the average landsman thal Un. stoker's lifo is not shortened by Confiant OXposuro t?> the extremes ol' t inperaturo. Ti a ns-At lan tic passengers who have braved tho intense neat of the furnaces and visited tho fire room won di r h iw men can endure such it lite even for a voyage. The stokers work four hours at a stretch, hemmed in between two ion? lines ni' furnaces that koop Hm temperature ordinarily at 120 degrees, sometimos scuding it' as lUgh as 100. The space lu tween the furnaces is so narrow that when thc men throw in coal they must take care when they swing back their shovel:, hst they should burn their arms on the furnace 'in hind them. Toe only means of ventilation is one lurge air pipe that reacias down into tho centre of tho stokers* quarters, and on a big steamer tho men have to take the air in batches. Ou a great ocean steam er like tho Umbria, tho nu n como on in gangs of eighteen stokers und twelve coal passers, and tin; "watch" lasts four hour;. The Umbria has 72 furnaces, whick require nearly 000 tons of coal a day, at n cost of almost $20,000 per voy age. One hundred and four men aro employed io m.m the furnaces, and thoy li.ive enough to ?lo. They include tho chic! engineer, his three assistants, and ninety stokers and coal passers. The Stoker comes on to work wearing only a thin undershirt, light trousers R ui wooden shoos. * hi the Umbria each stol;, r tends four furnaces. Ile Hrst mk -open the furnaces, tosses in the coal, and then cleans the filo; thal is, pries tho coal apart with a heavy iron har, in order that the lire may burn free ly. Ile rushes from one furnace to another, spending perhaps two or three minute s at ? ach. Then lie dashes to tho air pipe, takes his turn at cooling off, and waits for another call to his furnace, which eomes speedily. When the ..watch" is over, the men bim file oil', dripping with sweat from head to foot, through lon;;, cold galleries to the fore castle, where they turn in for eight hours. Four hours of scorching and eight hours' sleep make up th?; routine ol a stoker's life- ?>n a voyage. The reporter ran across a group of stokers in Wi st Street, and had a ebal with one of them. "1 wont to sen as a coal passer when I was fourteon years old," he said. "Thon I gi t to be a stoker, ami I um now twenty-eight." The speaker was about six foot iii bought, and weighed 180 pounds or more. Hit face was nellly w ith health, and his oyof beamed with good nature. His robust appearance was in strong Contrast to thal of some of his mates who had just land ed from a voyage, a pale, streaked out, listless-looking set of men. "How do we stand the work'.' Wei enough if we get plenty to eat. But tin work is terribly hard, all the same, ll comes hardest, of course, on those win don't follow it regularly. They ure tlx fellows who get played out so badlv. I heard once ol a young English docto? who came over here on a visit. Ile go out ol money, and was thal proud tha he wouldn't send home for souie. Si he worked his way back as a stoker, am got a sickness that he 0 tdd never ge rid of. Hut if WO get plenty to eat, nm take care of ourselves, we are ali right Here's a mate of mine nearly sc vent; years old, who has been a stoker all hi life, and can do as good work as I eau Stokers never have the consumption und rarely catch cold." ..Why do you appear more health than the other men hore?" asked the rt porter. "Wei!, I have been on lund now abor two weeks, and these men just came o the ship. You see, when we ll nish on watch ut the furnaces, we ure just cove ed with sweat, dirt and oil, and we huv to wash the stuff oil' with warm wate Washing so much with warm watergivi us that streaked out look that make people think we are being killed wit consumption. Hut after wo have bee on land three or four days thal look di appears, and tho men look natur again. Wo got more ventilation thu the old timers used to ^et, but we don have any too much. 1 tell you, when used to go down into the tropics wanted to keep under the air pipe all could. Now 1 go to England and bac and have four furnaces to tend. Foi hours is just about as much as we Cl stand before the tires, lt lises some tho men up so badly that when tl watch is over they can just crawl to tl forecastle, and throw themselves on Hu bunks without washing a bit. Hut ot ors of us don't mind it so much. V bent our water, bike a wash, and th have a pipe or two before turning in." "What do we eat und drink?" . We have hush, all the oatmeal want, coffee and other good things." "How about tho grog?" "Wolli the fact is that the <;.. ,, knocked off about eight years ugo tho English and American lines. 'I truth ir the men got drunk too mu? and grog did them much barm. WI I used to take my grog I'd work j lik?> a lion while tho effects lasted, throw in coal liko a giant and not mi tho heat a bit; but when it worked < as it did in a very few minutes, 1 ? that weak that a child could unset i Take a mun deatl drunk before the Hr and tho heat would BObor him off in li an hour or give him a stroke apoplexy.

Tho young man descended from ii dis tinguished ancos! ry, and might have hoon very prominent himself had it uot boon tor u cioud Nvhich overshadowed his life. His mother waa a wonderfully beauti ful woman at tho limo of lier marriage, bul her husband was ?1 man of dissolute habits, and was very cruel. Tho coming of thc baby .' Fra k," did not work a re formation m tho lather. Al list a divorce was granted -Mrs. Walworth, and .-he moved from Saratoga to Kentucky. hi tho course of time the divorced hu 1 baiul, who was no other Iban Mansfield Tracy Walworth, began to make fame ami fortuno aa a : tory writer. In 187? -Mis. Walworth moved back to Saratoga and established a girl's school. Thon hor ox-husband bogan to pester her with botes, making improper proposals. Uv- went farther, caused tho poor woman great annoyance, talked against thc legit imacy of Frank's birth, and threatened to kill both mother and son. Frank was then nearing manhood. Meliad looked upon his father as only tho tormentor; of his mother, and when by accident ho discovered tho real bur don which was being beaned upon bis motlier ho grew desperate. Ho WOUt to New York, where hi:, fal lu r lived, sent him a note to call at thc Slur tevant house and then waited in his room. That was in June, ls7d. .lust before dark his father's card was sent up. "Show tin? gentleman up," said the son. The boy returned with the answer, ind Mr. Walworth walked quickly up to his son's room, humming a lune as he Aid so. When ho was admitted to tho room, the young Lian placed his back Against tin? door, and drawing- his pistol, ?resented it at his father's breast. ..For Heaven's sake, what do you mean ?" tho father cried. " Do you mean to murder nie ? Think of what you aro [loing!" The son shuddered. " I know you aro my father," he .said; " but now von must lie.'' ..Dio!" shrioked tho lather. "Havo you called me here to murder me -your jwn father?'' "Yes. May dod have mercy on your soul, father, but I have none. You have threatened and insulted my mother.'' Tho father sunk Oil Ilia knees lind ap pealed for mercy and promised to leave thom ?dono and never iutorforo with his wile again. " You have lied before and you would lie ogain-1 cannot believe you," was tho son's cold answer. " Father you must dio. Say your lost prayer." An instant later there was a Hash, an other, and tho father staggered back as if struck by lightning. " My son!" ho breathed, gave a gasp, and os three moro duds finished tho work, the pallor of loath overspread his features. Ho had lied at the hands of bim to whom ho liail given life. The youngman gave himself up, and .vos convicted of murder in the sccoud legree. He wa? sentenced to life im prisonment in Sing Sing, but in 1*77 ivas pardoned out.

Mrs. Brown, who is a very charming old lady, and who hay i onic of her hus band's ability, replied) "I haven't heard Joseph say as to whether he is going to bo a candidate for Governor or not; in doed, he has not spoken anything about it, but from what 1 know of Joseph 1 rather think he wants it luinsoh . -.~t"?% The uow county rotary jail at Council llhill's became locked .Monday morning by sonio disarrangement of tho machine ry, and no prisoners could bo taken out nor any admitted.
