To-day in New York
New York Herald
When Thomas Hoods poetic soul, angered
at the inhuman manner in which indigent
English seamstresses were treated by their
employers, inspired him to produce his i'm
mortal Song of the Shirt England 70
sponded to his cry for justice, and vowed
that the evils which he deplored should be at
least m~itigated, II not abolished. A similar
appeal to humanity seoms to DO desirable In
this city just at present. at least II one is to
judge from the heatrending story which a
prominent merchant told q reporter lately.
Six dollars and S. cents Is a nice payment
for making 2o1 shirts, Is 1t notT' was his In
dignant question, as he pulled q pay-book
from his pocket and showed the figures IN
black end white. @No. ! am wrong. The
estimable employers paid 81. rs, but you must
dedu from that 81. 70 for car-fares, and then
you have e6.53 for making 291 ahirts-
Who was fool enough TO accept the jobl I'll
tell you A man came here from Silesia
about fifteen months ago with hts wife and
two children. He Is n bright, intelligent fell
low about 40 years old, and has worked for
some years on a railroad in Germany. He
brought with him two sewing machines, and
he and his wife managed to support them
selves for some months by making shields

pies ceased, he sought other employment,
but was unabie to find any. At last a
friend told him that a certain firm would be
willing to employ him at making shirts. He
jumped at the idea, went to the firm, got
the material for the shirts, and set to work
at onco, after he had provided himself with
cotton thread and other necessaries. That
was Nov. 20. From that day until Dec. 9,
he and his wife and another woman, who
provided a third sewing machine. worked
from 0 o'clock in the morning to IL at night,
and at the end Of the time they bad finished
291 shirts, and had received ST. 10.
H lived in Brooklyn, ut a considerable
distance from the ferry, and had to pay a
considerable sum in car fares The agree
ment was that he should receive 80 cents for
every dozen shirts, and on Nov. 20 he took
three shirts to his employers, expecting to
be paid at the ratio Of ~ cents a shirt. But
how could he be paid the odd half cent?
Would his employers be magnanimous
enough to give him s cents instead Of III
Quite the contrary. They paid him 7 cents,
instead Of ~ conts, his lawful due. On Dec.
. he took eight dozen shirts to bis employers,
and received g.. 40; on the 9th no took an
other eight dozen, and received $2.64. the In
creased wages being accounted for by the
fact that these shirts required to be finished
better than the Others, and on the 9th no
took a third eight dozen and received the
same as for the preceding lot.
after 1 saw him he had taken his last
eight dozen. and he told me his story. 1 got
his pay-book from him and showed 1t TO sew
eral influential men OF this city. Knowing
the price they have TO pay for shirts, they
could hardly believe that any employer
would be so mean as to ask men and women
to make them for 2X cents each-n

4 NEW YoaK LlAa.



TBlakcsly Hail In Brooklyn Eaglo.l
There Is rather a complicated now In ono OF
the New York clubs in consequence Of an
unfortunate habit which one Of its members
has Of lying. Tn member a a young man
and a very popular one. Hs has lived I'm
New York all his life and his friendE, moot
pf whom ave grown up with him, know his
lnfirmity-it Is nothing less-and accept his
statements carefully. The most curious thing
about the man Is that he lies with a convinc-
ing air Of sincerity and forvor about things
that are Of no consequence whatever.
For instance. ! remember him falling me
once about a kennel Of dogs that BIO had just
established In the yard of his honse In
Thirty-sixth street. He explained exactly
how the kennel was arranged, described his
six s~ctters. tho varieties OF his half dozen or
more bull dogs, a litter OF terriers, and a
~stag-hound which he had just purchased,
with the utmost detail learned within
three hours that the man had mover owned a
dog in hisllfe. His idea had been to start such
a kennel as he described, and In thinking Of
II he passed by an easy transition into the
belief that 1t actually existed
Among tho clubs Of which he Is a member
is ono to which admission isivery difficult to
obtain. Mon who arc elected members must
have had ancestors in New York 100 years
ago. A friend OF the L~iar's-which Is a pet
name TO which he does not at all OBJ
joct - returned from Europe and
stopped with him prior to a
trip to California. The Liar urged
his friend TO join his club, and got m nppli-
cation and filed 1t out himself. The friend
went west, and when be returned received a
bill for several hundred dollars for initiation
foes and dues, together with the announce
ment that be had been ~honorably elected as
a member Of the club.
As the man had never had an ancestor in
New York, and didn't know the name Of his
maternal grandfather. TO say nothing Of any
one further back, he felt that be was sailing
under false colors, and, being a strnightfor-
ward and honest chap, ho wrote a letter to
tho board Of trustees. Whereupon. they
went back 10 the record, produced the new
members application, and found that the
Liar had filled It out not only with the names
Of tho applicants grandfathers, but also with
the names Of two Of HIS ancestors two gem
~crntions further back. OF course, Il was
pure fiction The matter Il, / believe, ad-
justed now. The story has leaked out, and
nobody tolls It so well as the Liar himself.

QUESTIONABLE ORTHODOXY.

Bob Incensol's latest lecture. (which
WavPn7 Is not a tremendous success. 1t
reads like n rehash of all his other lectures,
saruisbed Of course with a new dressing Of
the inimitsble Bob's own style. This,
however. has apparently not limited the
extent of the discussion over il nor pre-
vented the euilcfui Bob from packing
whatever hall he undertook to speak in
with an enthusiasts and paying audience.
Upon his recent visit 10 New York
nearly every minister in the city took In
eersoll for the text Of sermon and il is
safe to say that the in6del came in fer
some very vivid excavations. Among the
ministers who considered the work being
done By the infdel was Rev. Heber New
ton. Of All Souls church. who has attract
ed considerable attention lately through
his gradual breaking away from rigidIy
orthodox lines Of Thought.
Mr. Newton treated his subject with a
great degree Of fnnkness. sit is a re-
markable phenomenon" he said, (which
our country has witnessed during the last
few DAYS. the brilliant and eloquent lee
turer going through the length and
breadth of the land ~lecturine in your
churches and halls on Sunday evenings to
crowded audiences with a sweeping attack
upon all that Il ordinarily understood to
constitute the Christian religion. No one
questions his rare ability. All confess
that whatever destructive work he does hs
Is constructive in this at least-that he
would build up happy homes. and plant
within them men and women living sane
ly and nobly. Let us be thankful for
this. l count it a signal illustration Of
the advance which has been made in the
so-called infdelity, that its spirit is clean
and pure.
Further than this" continued Mr..
Newton. let me frankly own to you that
| believe Mr.. Ineersoll in his rough at
tacks on religion is doing a real service to
the cause Of enlightened religion. Il does
not look so to tho devout believer; but he
who knows the extent and depth of the
o~bscurantism which prevails within the
churches will be forced to admit that even
such coarse attacks upons the faith Of
C~hristendom have their part in forcing
forward the growth Of reasonable religion.
