Practical Farmer, It is learned that the
Italians were engaged to work at the
rate Of Sl.5O, but when they were dis
charged they were paid at the rate OF
Sl.25 per day. Most Of them had been
working ten days without having re-
ceived any money, which, together with
the fact that they did not receive what
they bargained for, made them dissatis'
fed, hence the trouble. In an inter
view with one Of the discharged men, he
told a REPUBLICAN reporter, in broken
English, that the man had robbed them
by refusing TO pay them what he agreed
TO. Persons who are familiar with con-
structing Railroads say that the con-
tractors have taken the work at too low
a figure, and that before they are through
with the job there will be trouble
along the various sections. as some one
must be the loser, and it the contractors
undertake to hire foreigners at Sl.5O per
day and then only pay them Sl.26, they
will naturally resent it, as they did yes
terday, anil az they are known to be
a desperate set of men, the lives Of the
contractors will be in danger. lfthese
foreigners are properly managed and
treated fairly they will perform their
duties without any trouble. Those who
caused the trouble yesterday have en-
tered suit against the contractors for
their money.

Some men in business wonder when
is the best time to advertise, anu While
Il part think that the only time they
should spend money in that way is dur.
ing the busy season, others contend, and
with considerable reason, they should
avail themselves of the opportunities
offered by the press to let the people
know what they have to sell during the
dull season, and they are generally the
men who succeed, and don't know what
dull times are. John Wanamaker is a
living example of what juaicious ad
vertsing can do, and had it not been
for the press he would not to-day occupy
the position of one Of the greatest mer-
chant princes in this country. Dr.
Jaynes medicines would be unknown,
and he would never have been able to
construct the beautiful building on
Chestnut street near Third, Philadel-
phia, had it not been for the publicity
given TO his remedies by the newspa-
pers. Thousands of men have made
fortunes by judicious advertising, and
there IN scarcely Il successful business
man in this country who has
hid his light under bushel, and court
ed obscurity by not patronizing his own
home papers. The object Of adverts.
ing is 10 let people know where their
every day wants can be supplied at the
lowest rates, and to get them to under
stand that the advertiser is the one to
do it, and merchants " no advertise Will
be sure to have customers.

them by depositors begun the day
before. The Directors of the First Ma

of the stockholders not present would
be obtained, and the bank relieved
of its embarrassment. 1t was also be-
lieved the Indiana Banking Company
would be able to resume soon. There
was no run upon the other banks. A
later despatch states that the First Ma

The steamship City of Rome, of the
Anchor Line, arrived at New York on
Thursday, having made the fastest time
on record from Queenstown to New
York. Her time was six days, twenty
hours and thirty minutes. The fastest
previous West -bounl trip was made by
the Alaska, of the Guion Line, in last
May, in six days, twenty-five hours and
forty-siX minutes. The Alaska still
retains the championship for speed in
going from New York to Queenstown,
having made the trip last year in six
days, eighteen hours and thirty seven
minutes Captain r. b. Monroe com
manded the City OF Rome. She broke
u piston rod on Wednesday, disabling
one Of her engines and reducing her
speed about two knots an hour. The
damage can be repaired easily, but it
is said by the Anchor Lines officer that
except for this accident the vessel would
have made even better time.
