THE GOOD WORK
NON Doing and to be Done, by the Wo-
mems Christian Union.

mems Christian Union.
Written jor he Rcyi5tcr.
In answer to the many inquiries with re
gard 10 the work the Woman's Christian
Association expects to engage in, we would
say, that so many opportunities for doing
good present themselves, that, at present we
can only mention a few. This city like
many others, is flooded with the most trashy
literature which is so demoralizing to the
Young. In thousands of homes a religious
book or paper cannot be found. The chill
dren grow up without a single influence to
lead them to a higher or better life. We
propose to district the city and, once a
month put within the reach Of all such
families that class Of papers and
tracts, which have been so blessed in
other cities. Then the stranger coming
10 or city will be directed to and made &C.
quairted with the members Of the church
70 which they belong, and if without any
church relation an effort will be made to
induce all such to attend ONE place Of
worship. The hundreds of children who
spend their Saobaths in the streets, many
ofthem young in years yet so old in sin, will
De gathered into the Sunday school. A
great many have grown almost to manhood
and womanhood who are unable to read,
they will be taught; a number of ladies have
already offered their service for the work.
Then as soon as the work will permit, we
hope to open an intelligence office, where
reliable persons can obtain work, and those
who claim to have been driven
10 a life of shame for want Of work, car be
rescued and saved. Our ministries will be
extended to the prisons and a%lmshouse, and
he delicacies that cost so little and yet &C.
complish so much, will be carried to the
sick. The ladies' who have organized this
association feel greatly encouraged by the
great interest II manifested by all the churches,
as we'll as by the great number Of represen-
.ative women who have pledged their hearty
cooperation. No personal subscription
will he solicited, yet any one desiring to aid
in the good work can send the money to the
treasurer, Miss Hetty List, or any officer.
Francis Murphy will lecture in the Opera
House, in the near future, for the benefit Of
the association.
The following ladies are officers of the
association:
Presidet-Mrs. L. j. Lyle.

Are Doing and What is the FutUre Pros
Peet.
AS every kind Of business is Gvening up,
the natural desire Of our citizens is to know
what the largest industry in our midst-nah
making-is doing and what is the prospect.
Well, the Riverside, which is the largest, is
working full in all departments turning oct
over 5000 kegs of nails per week. At the
Belmont, everything is at a stand still. The
factory will start up Just as soon as they
can make nail plate. If the steel from
Pittsburg arrived in time to heat and roll
tomorrow, a portion of tie factory Will be
able to start up Tuesday. The boiling de-
partment is also handicapped, not having
any one, they are unable to 60 to work.
This much needed article-ore-is expected
By the firm every day.
At the Tep mill, as all the readers OF the
REGISTER know, the factory and heating
departments are at work. The only new
feature is that a positive order from the
firm to the boilers, shows that that depart
ment will resume tomorrow.
The Crescent mill is working. as.usualr
four days per week. al
The LaBelle factory and heating depart
ment is working steadily with no change.
The prospect for a boom in the nail mar
ket is very iattering.
Goops that hardly show damage Will be
sold for ljc. per yard, worth Zoe, on Mon

Every new councilman, many old 9
and 2,I7O candidates, BY official count,
crowded in and about the city building yes
terdsy afternoon. Not even the fact that
the rickety old building trembled and
ereaked with the burden could keep them
away, and every lower room was densely
packed. Council has some twenty offices
10 bestow, aud for each one there is a score
Of applicants so that, all told, the crush was
somewhat immense.
The new members came with wise and
mysterious faces, happy as kings and proud
as Lucifer. They did not even trown when
rival candidates split their clothes in the
effort to pull them in two directions at the
same time. All this is preliminary to next
Tuesday night, when the various city offices
viii be dispensed.

OF last Wheeling in TrOuble-rHO Of the
Gang to be Arrested.
For some time past people Of the East
End have been annoyed more or less with
petty acts committed by q gang Of boys who
range from 10 to ~ years of age, and owing
TO their extreue Youthfalness the officers were
deferred from arresting them. Yesterday,
however. two of the gang attempted to steal
a key Ofbeer of one Of Reymaun's brewery
wagons, driven BY John Medil. That gen.
tlemAn noticed them and took after them
and succeeded in catching John Cline. He
swore out a warrant before Squire Ankle for
the miscreants and they viii probably have
to answer Monday. These boys steal beer
and take It to the shanties on the creek near
the Central glass works where a night of de-
bauchery follows. One thing is as assured,
if parents do not keep their children at
home at night they cannot expect anything
else than to find them in Jail some morning.
