Tho University Crews.

LONDON. April 1.-The Cambridge
crew are slightly favorites in the betting
on the university boat race which takes
place to morrow. The betting is nomin-
ally six to FIVE against Oxford, but virtu-
ally it is on a level. The majority of the
sporting prophets give tips on Cambridge,
because, as they say, while the crews are
equally matched, the Oxford men have
a boat which does not suit them. while
their opponents are perfectly equipped in
that respect.

NEW York. April Zone of the bit
terest railroad rate wars that Western
roads have ever known has probably come
to an end. The transcontinental pool was
broken on the 18th of February by the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe announcing
a cut in rates between New York and San
Francisco. All of the lines in the pool
met the cut and the result has been that
travellers and freight have gone to Califor-
MIA points at extremely low rates. 1t is
understood among railroad men that
President Strong practically presented his
ultimatum to President Huntington, of
the Southern Pacific, on Thursday, and
that Mr.. Huntington asked until to-day

nounced to shippers that rates would be
restored to the old basis after tomorrow.
The Atchison agents have not yet re-
ceived orders on the subject, though they
are expected very soon.

President Cleveland and Mrs. Scot

President Cleveland and Mrs. Scott.
From our esteemed exchange, the Cam
bridge City 1nd.) Tribune, we learn that
the President has just written letter to
Mrs. Peter Scott Of the place named. Mrs.
Scott became recently the mother of trip
lets-three fine little girls-and, feeling
that, though in very humble circum-
stances and not in condition to afford such
a luxury, she had done we'll, wrote to Mr..
Cleveland, telling of her condition, and
asking him to name the girls. The Presi-
dents answer was as follows:
Mrs. MINNIE SCoTT-Dear Madam :
Your letter, portraying condition which
greatly excites my sympathy, is received.
I have many such, and find it utterly
impossible to comply with the requests
for aid which they contain in a great
many cases.
I am SO well convinced of your truth
fullness and good faith that I am con-
strained to send you small sum, which
hope will add to your comfort and that
Of the young triplets.
am SO little accustomed to matters of
that kind that must asked to be excused
from the attempt to give names to the
three little girls. Yours truly.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
The sum of $40 was enclosed in the
letter and our esteemed exchange has its
enthusiasm aroused to such an extent that
1t remarks:
1--WE would suggest that subscription
paper be circulated among our people to
raise the sum of $40 to be added to the
$40 that President Cleveland contributed,
and the whole amount used In PURCHASING

HOLIDAYS for Working People.

There is d growing belief in this coun.
try that the men and women who work
are entitled to more leisure time for rec
reation. With the advent OF labor-saving
machines, and the consequent increase of
production, it is evident that the necessity
disappeared. Even the farmers are no
longer required to rise at 4 A. NJ, and toll
until P. NJ. to extract bare subsistence
from the SOIL Years ago all mechanics,
artisans and laborers worked from sun
rise to sunset, which in summer meant
fifteen or sixteen hours, and the reduction
to ten hours was'a remarkable reduction.
Now the demand is for eight hours and
Saturday half-holiday. This latter move
ment has grown to considerable proper.
tions in several cities, and is principally
urged as q boon to shopkeepers and those
who are employed in shops. It is urged,
with considerable justice, that the ordin.
airy hours of labor in retail stores are
twelve hours on five days of the week, and
on Saturday frequently extend to four
teen and sixteen In those stores that
keep open till nearly midnight. For
these people 1t is urged that Saturday
half-holiday is no more than a common
humanity. This movement cannot be put
into operation, however, unless the gen.
eral payday for working people be
changed from Saturday. to Friday. The
reason why shops are kept open late on
Saturday night Is to accommodate people
who receive their wages on that day.
With this obstacle removed there
would be no difficulty in the way of the
Saturday half HOLIDAY. In the meantime
peace-:yorkers in industrial establish
ments, and others whose wages depend
directly upon their hours of labor, might
easily gain half-holiday on Saturday by
arranging their hours of labor somewhat
differently. II each man will take forty
minutes for dinner each day instead of
the usual hour, they might quit work at
p. M. on Saturday, and still have work
ed the regulation sixty hours per week.
This would hold equally good with Ier-
sons who work by the day, and would be
to the manifest benefit OF the employer
The twenty minutes saved each day
would never be missed, and the time
saved would be enjoyed in bulk; as it
were, on the day when most needed. 1t
Is, at least, an experiment worth trying.

condemnation.
Chas. Scranton formerly an employee of
the Derby silver CO., but now of Cincinnati
is here on visit He was somewhat des-
pendant in finding such change as has
taken place since he left. The old familiar
! faces that he expected to see were gone,
| the resisting of encroachment of those who
have the power, make wonderful changes
and apparently they seem to affect the
worker alone, and this lends sadness in
the case

come from the Boston Laborer which the

the New York boycotters was just--it served
them right. 1t says, ''They were simply
common criminals OF course this is all
printed in the interest of labor, as we know
the Sentinel is on that side of the question.
The Sentinel takes particular pains to find
articles of that kind especially if they think
there is a difference of opinion among
workingmen. We would refer the Senti
mel to John Swinton's paper-if it wants to
know the sentiments of the Now York
knights on the question of the boycotters.
James Guinan, working man and
resident of Shelton, mourns the loss of

however, just as well as IL the reports con-
tanned work of truth, so interested are the
delegates in learning to what extent the

heard over the addresses made in the con
vention by prominent members present,
who yet had not opened their mouths unless
to vote on measures they up There
were also published delegates the

the Hartford delegation speak of two in
connection with two assemblies there who

tenance was nowhere in sight. However,

they will have the fun of lawsuit to OBJ
tain their just deserts. Insurance applica-
tions have been repeatedly taken in Water
bury on this "graveyard' plan. A stone
mason on State street was two years since
insured without his knowledge or consent
by one of his family, and the agent signed
the name of the insured to the application
in a hand as bold John Hancock's, when
the poor fellow had never himself been
guilty of doing more than "make his cross"
The laboring people in Waterbury should
have their eyes open in this matter. If
you insure, take some reliable state COM
pany-for we have the best in Connecticut
and do not run after any ten-cent per
week catch penny affair. Besides, this
"few cents weekly" system of insurance is
the most expensive of all, and you pay
more money out and get less return for it
than is the case with any established COM
pany of this State, or with any mutual or
benevolent society or association.
A large and very intelligent audience
greeted Mr.. Ford of New York last Sun
day at Music Hall, and listened to very
able and eloquent address on Labor"
his remarks and he repeated many original
ideas of good common sense. In the course
of his speech he took occasion to refer to
the early closing movement in Waterbury,
among the dry goods CLERKS, ana advocated
it in every way. Indeed, he suggested,
that it was the duty of all workingmen to
take hold of this question and help it on to
a successful issue. elf one or two ''sharks''
hold out and refuse to reduce for their
clerks the present sixteen hours of labor,
it is your duty as workingmen," he said,
"to withdraw from such dealers your pat
ronage, until they yield to the demand of
humanity and common Justice" Mr.. Ford
also insisted that labor must educate itself,
and advocated labor papers the means
of doing SO. He held that every mechanic,
every workman should be at least a sub
scriber for one newspaper devoted to the
interests of labor. He was listened to with
marked attention and all who heard him
were glad they came. Tomorrow at
2 o'clock there will be a mass meeting at
the City Hall, to listen to Edward King of
New York, who has arranged to be present.
All are welcome.
