Through the efforts of the United
Hatters, of North America, a fifty
fonr-hour-rule-a-week rule went into
effect in the Orange hat factories
Monday morning. All employes ap
peared for work at 7.80 o'clock in the
morning and emit at 5.30 o'clock in
the afternoon. The rule was first re
ferred to all the associations in the
country for a referendum and was
adopted. Many thousand workmen
are affected.
At Philadelphia after a meeting
Monday of the employes of the John
and James Dobson mill at the Falls
of Schuylkill, it was announced by
the strikers that 1,250 of tlie 1,500
hands had agreed to return to work.
No concessions have been made by
the firm.
At Ballston, N. Y. , the plant of the
Union Bat? and Pnper Company, con
sisting of three paper mills, sulphite
mill and bag factory, is tied up by a
strike of the firemen, who qnit work
Monday morning. Not a wheel is
taming and 400 employes are idle.
The firemen demanded 25 cents an
ihonr for eight hours' work, and three
shifts of workmen for every twenty
four hours. The company will not
grant the demand and an indefiijQte
shutdown is expected.
The price of fresh fish advanced
Monday in New York because of a
strike afteoting Fulton Market dealers.
The strikers are the men who man
the fishing smack or schooners. The
vessels are owned by the fishmongers.
The captains are part owners in some
cases. There are sixty odd vessels
and eaoh carries an average comple
ment of sixteen sailors and fishermen.
They have been paid $35 a month and
their "keep." In addition to this the
owners have given a bonus each voy
age. The men want a bonus of a cent
a fish whether big or little.
The fishmongers held a meeting,
and after going through their books
came to the conclusion that they paid
as much as the business would war
rant. They decided Monday that they
would tie up their boats for the re
mainder of the season rather than pay
the men what they demanded.
As a consequence of the strike,
bluefish went from 6 cents to 10 cents
a pound! Monday. There is a good
supply io cola storage, but none of
the want ta take that out until
|y^*s"nter. If no fish comes into the
markm. New Yorkers will have to pay
big prices and there will be a scarcity
at that.
The men who have made the largest
fortunes iu business are those who
have been the most extensive adver
tisers

LUNA PARK NOTES
One hundred and forty-two thons
and, two hundred and thirtv-two per
sons paid a dime to enter Luna Park
on the Fourth of Julv, ar.d not only
has the average daily attendance been
greater than that of the Pan-American
Exposition, nut the total admissions

ahead of that at Buffalo.
Luna Park has been improved with
every day, and now it stands as it
wili for this season, with as many
large amusement features as have
been before offered in any two exposi
tions.
The metropolitan dailies are unani
mous in the words of praise, all of
them conceding that no previous Ex
position has been as complete in its
method of finding entertainment for
boys and girls grown tall.

NEW ENGLAND ia*iFT.
Careful Management In a Part of the
TeinperaKient of the MnMsa
eliusett* People.
The proportion of men nnd women
who retire <::: vlnr.il competencies is
doubtless ; jr ju Massachusetts
than in air, .. j? state in the union,
unless it be Pennsylvania, which is
the other .. !a:o of Dr. Benjamin
Franklin's res icien, e. But a man who
has even the post robust respect for
the thrift' of the people of Massa
chusetts must be surprised to learn
from the report of the state's bureau
of labor statistics that thfre are moic
than 43,000 such persons? 28,000 men
and 17,000 women. Two-thirds uf
them are native-born, too. The mak
ing of such an investigation was char
acteristic of Massachusetts, says
World's Work.
But it tells volumes about the care
ful management that is a part of the
Xew England temperament. The New
Knglander studit usly saves nnd he in
vests prudently, and when old age
comes, or he has a wish to rest, he is
willing to stop work and to adjust
his life tf? his income; and he gen
erally leaves a legacy also to his
children. Anyone who has lived in
different parts of the United States
has had many occasions to observe
what this official 'report confirms ?
that the native New Englander has
learned the art of living considerably
below his income better than any
other man among us.
WANTED HIS CLIENT HELD.
Lawyer Who Defended a Hani Cane
Wan Afraid He Might Meet
Him uu tke Uuud.
Almost any lawy er will undertake
the defense of a prisoner accused of
crime and will use his best endeavors
to secure his acquittal. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Unborn, of New York,
tells of a North Carolina attorney who
was practicing in a backwoods moun
tain district.
While he was waiting for his case to
be reached the trial of a notorious high
way robber who had been caught red
handed was called. The prisoner had
no counsel and the presiding judge re
quested the distinguished! lawyer to de
fend him. The trial lasted two dajs
and to the court's astonishment the
jury returned a verdict of acquittal As
the prisoner was about to be dis
charged the lawyer stepped up to the
judge and request eti a few words in
private.
"What is it?" asked the court.
"I wouldlask j our honor," replied the
lawyer, "to have the prisoner detained
in jail to-night. I have to cross a lone
ly field on my way home, and the rascal
happens to know that I have money
about me."
SHE CHEERS THEM UP.
The "Cheertnsr-l p I.a^ly" Jn a Fnnt
tiunary Who Trlea to Make
Folks Happy.
On the order books of the Woman's
exchange in this city, it appears, is a;
worker known as "the cheering-up
lady." She is kept busy all the time. It
is her function to visit lonely homes,
to play cards with venerable widows or
spinsters, to read, talk and "look pleas
art."
Here should be a laborer never fail
ins? to be worth more than her hire.
Professional mourners we no longer
know nor wish to know, of professional
cheerers-up it should not be possible to
know too many. We bespeak serious
rivalry for this old lady who looks
pleasant. .Ilert> is the happiest com
bination of business and philanthropy.
She exhibits an id<ea worthy of inde
finite, extension through an infinite
variety of oli nts.
There is no culture more important
or pressing, says tlu- New York World,
than that of the smile which means
i good cheer.
Only a I.ittle More So.

to know a fellow in the east named
Cull BofPum that moved out here ten

mighty glad to have him go. He was

FORESTS AND FRESHETS.
?Mood* Were an Great Before Tree*
Were Cut Down am They Have
Been Since.
After all, the deforesting of the
country is not responsible for the
floods. There were more forests half
a century ago along the watersheds
of some of the tributaries of tUe up
per Mississippi than there are noil,
notwithstanding the tree planting
which the late J. Sterling Morton
started on the Nebraska, Kansas and
Iowa plains, saye the St. Louis Globe
Demoorat. A very high reach of
water was scored in the Mississippi
at St. Louis in 1811 and 1S2Q. Probably,
although this i^ not certain, the river
was higher at this point in those
years than it will be in 1 008. In 1785
the rivers of the west were on such
a boom that that date is called the
"year of the great waters." There is
not much satisfaction for the resi
dents along the Missouri and the tip
per Mississippi to know that these
rivers more than once in the past
reached a higher stage than they are
likely to closely approach this year.
But this fact teHs ns that the persons
who have been removing the forests
are not solely responsible for the
freshets; These occnrred ''before the
axman made his appearance, althongh
the extension of the area of settle
ment makes the floods of the present
day vastly more destructive than were
those of 40 or 50 years ago. The ne
cessity for the invention of some
means whereby the surplus waters of
the spring and' early summer months
can be stored so as to preyent> de
struction then and to be nsed later on
in the season is more trrgent than It
ever was in the pasr.
THE POPE'S GODCHILDREN.

March 3; Loat.
Leo XI II. is, as everyone kunw*.
the godfather of young King Al
fonso of Spain. But the latter fs
by no means the only godchild of
the holy father, who anrronnced his
intention of acting- as sponsor to
every child born in Rome on March
3 last, which was the twenty-fifth
aniversary of his succession to the
papacy, says a London paper. The av
erage number of births per day in
Rome does not exceed 35. Bert for some
extraordinary reason tfre?re were no
less than 93 births recorded on March
3. 93 being curiously enough the num
ber of years which hare elapsed since
Leo XIII. 's own birth. A most search
ing inquiry was instituted in order to
ascertain whether there had really
been* as rnarfy as 95 births in Rome on
the day in question. But the investiga
tion established the fact beyond a
doubt that the figures were correct and
authentic, and consequently the pope
has 93 new godchildren, among them
a set of triplets, two boys and a girl,
who have received .the names of
Romulus, Remus and Roma, and each
of these 93 children have received from
him a complete outfit and a s'um of 100
lire.
LONGEVITY OF QUAKERS.
Eitlmntnl Duration of the Avernue
Friend'* l.lfe Given n* Flfty
Elcht Yearn,
The longevity of Quakers was dis
cussed by a group of Philadelphians
the other day. says the Philadelphia
Itecord. A physician of Quaker de
scent said: "It is undoubtedly true
that Friends are among the longest
lived persons in the world. Statis
tics. laboriously and accurately col
lected, prove this clearly. The sta
tistics were compiled here in Phil
adelphia in 1S6U. They showed the
duration of the average Friend's
life to be' 58 years. There were liv
ing at that time in this city 30
Friends who were over 88 years old,
and there were 50 other Friends
whose years aggregated 5,258. These
persons, that is to say. were, on the
average, 85 years old. Marked long
evity among our people proves how
wholesome and beneficial our rules
of living are. The abstemiousness,
the early hours, the avoidapce of
worldly excitement ? these were the
things that multiplied so remark
ably our forefathers' years."
Home, Sweet Home,
Mrs. Chugwater ? So that's the pho
tograph you had, taken the other day,
is it? I'd like to know why you can't
look as pleasant as that when you are
