Whatever we may think Of the rights
and wrongs of the labOring man, there IS
no question raised as to the hardships en-
dured by the tens of thousands of persons
who. either through ignorance or weak
ness, are unable to do more than Keep
soul and body together by unremitting
toll of the most hopeless description. The
richer New York has grown the larger
and more hopeless is this class OF people
who work by the piece at manufacturing
various articles in their tenements. IL Is
perfectly well known that at least lOOOO
women and girls in New York city, labor
ing ut the manufacturing OF cheap clothes,
wOnen's undertaking, ETC., sixteen
hours day, and sometimes seven days
week, are paid less than % for their week s
work, out OF which sum they have to pay
the rent of their rooms, their food and
clothing and the rent OF the machine
they use.
There are whole communities OF people
dwelling on the east side Of New York TO
whom rest and pleasure arc unknown
quantities: the life Of men, women and
children is one Of unceasing grind OF toll
from childhood 10 cid age. The tene-
ments they live in reek with filth, the air
is foul, the labor begins at daylight, and
goes on until the poor wretcheS sink down
exhausted upon their piles OF rags. The
many pictures which appears ii the news
papers Of the awful squalor and toll
among the east side tenements are no ex-
aggeration. All thinking people agree
that something ought to be done. One
hundred years ago New York knew no
such misery, and ought not to know 1t
to-day. Brooklyn Eagle.

FINN with FIamingoes.

They're funny fellows, l can tell you, "
the captain declared. 81 met man
down the coast who told me that once
when he was huntin' on the Florida low
lands he came upon whole colony Of
flamingoes among the mangrove trees.
He watched their antics for some time
some standing on one leg, some with
their long necks in all sorts of curious
positions, some stalking up and down rs
solemn as parsons-and he thought it
wouldn't be bad idea to play joke on
them.
$50 he took a fish line, and when the
birds flew away he fastened one end OF
the line to the root of tree and climbed
with tho other end up into another tree.
Before long the birds came back, and
then the fun began. AS soon as one CT
two stepped across the line, the man In
the tree gave it pull, and the flamingoes
began hoppin' and trippin' and dancin'
about, now falhn' down, now jumpin'
across and really seemin' to enjoy it i'm
nensely. He actually had 'em all u
skippin' rope, and there's no tellin' how
long they'd a. kept it up if it hadn't
been so very funny that my friend
couldn't help laughin' out loud; that
frightened them Off. That may seem q
rather brisk story" said Capt Sam;

Countcrfeitlng Nickels and Old Coins.


The eounterfeiting at present is con-
fined almost entirely TO the coin issues OF
the government. lt is not generally
known that the nickcls and the pennies
arc very successfully counterfeited, and
that there is no possible means or de-
tecting the spurious from the genuine
The nickels afford a very handsome profit.
All the eounterfeiters have to do is to go
to the Revised Statutes and there they
find the materials to be used in their
making. All OF the metal employed is
base A nickel costs the government
about III cents. If the government
had the exclusive manufacture Of these
coins there would be a great profit in
them. But the coin can be so easily re-
produced that there is no means Of esti'
mating how many of them are put out OF
the counterfeit class. II the government
should decide to call in this class Of coir
they would have to redeem the counter
feits as well, because they are all made
of exactly the same material as the gov
ernment's issue. The bronze pennies are
also counterfeited. There is profit in
this. The bronze of which the pennies
are made costs twenty-four cents a

mics. The only way this part Of the cur
rency can be detected would be for con-
gress to change the law so that bullion to
the value of tho coin can be put in it.
One Of the latest kinds of counterfeit
ing is the imitation of old coins for sale
TO the numisnatistS. One of the most
ingenious modes of deception in this class
of work is the changing of the dates of
some common issue of a certain coin to
the date of year whose issue is scarce
and consequently high. The old Liberty
dollar of 1904 is very scarce. It is said
that there are only seven genuine coins OF
this issue in this country. The coin Is
rated in numismatic catalogues at value
of $1,000 and upward. Tho counter
feiters have been quite successful in
changing $50 issues to that Of 1904. This
is not counterfeiting in the strict legal
sense of the word, and the treasury Off
Gals would not be able to punish anyone
for this class of offerse. But they have
exercised their power to put a stop to
such work wherever they have found 1t
going on.-Washington Cor. New York

The Famous Ex-Confederate as a Lee
turer-SeveraI Incidents of His Life.
| am told that John S. Mosby, the
guerilla general and eX-cOnsul to Hong
Kong, has agreed to deliver fifty lectures,
for which he gets $500 night. This will
make $4,000 for fifty lectures, or for
fifty utteranceS of one lecture, and it is by
no means bad pay. "John MOsby," said
an old Confederate friend Of his to me,
lis as poor as church mouse and he will
give these lectures because he wants the
money He came out of the war without
a dollar and don't think he saved any
thing abroad. His son graduated with
high honors at the Virginia university
this year, and l think he has other chill
dren. His beautiful and talented wife is
dead, and ! doubt whether he has
home he can call his own.
John S. Mosby is q slight bent,
blonde man, with n cold gray eye con-
tanning no more expression than q boys
marble He talks slowly, never gets ex-
cited and does not know what fear is
He loves his friends and hates his enc
mics, and he carries his fight to the death.
lately heard a story from a captain in
the Union army of q scene in which
NIosby took part during the war. n
Union regiment had driven him with a
small body of his men into q ten acre
field. about which was high fence. They
could see him plainly within it, and they
surrounded the field and began to close
in upon MOSby. They wanted to capture
him. rs he had already killed nearly half
their regiment They closed in upon him
slowly, his handful Of troops still firing.
They had backed him up close to fence,
and they apparently had him in their
grasp, when he drove his spurs into his
horse and went over the fence like a
flash, and rs he did so, turned in the air
upon his saddle and shot soldier through
the head with his revolver. There are
few such shots as Mosby, and during the
war he shot to kill
AT the close of the war Horace Gree
ley wanted MOsby hung. He denounced
him as q guerilla and murderer, and
published article after article calling
upon the president TO hang him. Mosby
fed to the mountains, and he told me he
intended to fight to the last. Gen. Grant
was I'm Washington at the time. Mrs.
Mosby came here with "A sucking baby on
one arm and these papers of Horace
upon Grant and laid the papers before
him. Grant told her TO go to her husband
and TO tell him that he would protect
him if he would surrender; that he should
go to the nearest station and give himself
mp and he weuld protect his parole as
much rs he would that of Gen. Lee. Mrs.
Mosby carried this news to John ;.
MOsby in the mountains He surren-
dered and Grant protected him. Mosby
never forgot h, and when the campaign
of 1872 came around, in which Greeley
was pitted against Grant, MOsby stumped
the state of Virginia for Grant. He car
ried Greeley's papers around and told the
people how Grant had treated him. The
result was he carried Virginia for the Re
pubhcans the first time in its history

WHY Thew Call IL Red Ton. ~

The president has not changed the
name of his country place from Pretty
Prospect" to Red Top" nor has Mrs.
Cleveland done so. The newspapers did
1t, and it came about thusly: One night
about O month ago four well known
correspondents gathered together at a
restaurant for supper. During the repast
one of them-a correspondent for New
York paper-remarked that he had been
out to the presidents country place that
day. ~ don't like the name Of the
place" said he ~ see the president has
painted the roof red and I'm going to call
it Red Top How do you like tho
name'" he asked of the other three. They
laughed and replied that they did not
think he could fasten the name to the
place. "Tu bet you a supper can, ;" he
replied. In less than a month Red
Top" has become the accepted name for
the place, and the correspondent won his
supper. 1t is said that neither the presi-
dent, Mrs. Cleveland, nor Mrs. Folsom,
who is to live there, like the new name,
but it seems as if it has come to stay

rriokerr AZ Cattle Growers.

How about the branding of calves9
Yes, that was, and is, favorite lie
among the cattle growers. Annually
the spring roundup starts out. Say that
the books of the ranch show that there
should be 1000 cows on the range.
Without q smile, without the slightest
droop of an eyelid, the cattle growers
and their cowboys report that the in
crease of calves is so per cent. by actual
count, Of the number Of cows the book
represents to be on the range, Every
man of them knows that if the book calls
for l 900 cows, that not more than 800 OF
them are alive and on the range. They
know that the rest lie dead in the forests,
or on the TANKS of the foot hills, or in
ravines where they were showed under,
or on the arid plains. And every man
on the roundup knows that not more
than 200 calves were branded and saved.
The lying report is given to the local
press (Which is supported by the cattle
growerS) that the Roaring Bull Cattle
Growing association has branded 80 per
cent of calves, and editorial comment is
made on the great crop Of calves dropped,
and editorial congratulations are eX-
tended to the cattle growers on the pros
perity of their business. That evening,
after reading the paper, the cowboys and
cattle growers alike say: "Shovepen is q
daisy. Here's to him." and glasses are
lifted to weather cracked lips and their
contents are tilted down alkaline burned
threats. Many cattle growers, who have
been driven iout Of the business by
heavy losses, have told me within the
past two months that not more than 40
per cent. of the cows they actually owned
ever saved their calves. And one bright,
truthful cattle grower, who had lost S42,-
900 in handling cattle on the Grand En-
campment river in Wyoming, assured
me in exceedingly vigorous language
that his cows did not, during the five
years he had them, average over 20 per
cept. increase. Frank Wilkeson in New

so gracefully as in Washington. See

her foot comes down upon the ground
without any unevenness or twisting or
turning, and she has the carriage Of a
veteran army officer. All the Washing
