DEAR SIE:-In.rcply TO yours oGthe 18th inSt.W
pay 30 cents perl, DOZENS on morning papers here.
We pay our foreman so per week, but he mas no
assistant. lie calls one of the compoSitorS when
he needs help, and we pay 40 cents per hour for
such assistance when needed, which is very sell
dom. Ads of five inches or over are set IN the
Job room, and ads coming in after = O'Clock are
set by piece in the news room. JOB hands SJ2
per week. Standing time 30 cents per hour.
Population about 1000. Our men are all union
men, and ours is Il union Office. We have had
several disputes with the men during the last
year, hut in every case we referred to arbitration
or the international Union, and in every case
the International decided in our favor. Oar last
racket was a dcmand 10y the men that we employ
an assistant foreman at Sl7.I per week, although
the foreman did not want him. The lntcrna-
tioual decided in our favor. Plate matter they
tried to shut ont, land we beat them on that. They
tried 10 raise the price of composition To y cents,
submitted 10 arbitration, and then, because II
was against them, went back on ii. The Inter
national Union ordered them back 10 work, tell
ing them them they were wrong. We find the
International very fair, but our men very unfair.
The tramp and drunken element causes all the
trouble.
Respectfully,
J0RSS. REILLY,
Manager.

At 4 r.. m. Saturday the old car
riage shop, next door to b. b. Run
kle's residence, was discovered in
flames. 1t was a frame, dry and
burned like finder: In five minutes
after the alarm was sounded two
streams were on the fire and in less
than three minutes the company had
the fire under control. The wind
was blowing hard and except for the
water works Runkle's residence,
Thomas & Heskell's shop, Wallace's
stable and perhaps Edmondston's
livery stable would nave been burned.
The building belonged to Bsssford &

tents, consisting of carriages and
brick layers tools, we're insured for
500. Loss about S1,lO0. The
origin of the fire is a mystery. There

to every board, and at his spectral
bidding some loved one goes forth
to his mysterious home"
thine and philosophy may teach
resignation unto hearts made Desc
late by his coming; but they can
never fill the vacancy therein when
she that was our daughter no longer
casts a halo about our darkened
hearth. A daughters place so loved,
SO worshipped, once empty, must be
forever 50. A breast once banged by
a daughters death no medicine can
reach with healing. No man howev-
er Scared, no heart however harden
ed, can forget the gentle being"
"a daughter is truly our guardian
spirit upon earth; her goodness
shields and protects; she walks with
u maturing age, W. s~heltering us
with her absorbing love, and expia-
ting oul many sins with her blessed
prayers. And when our daughter,
with all her burden of love, her an
gelIc influence, her sanity care,
ceases her beauteous life, how much
we lose of home, of happiness, of
heaven, NO one can reckon; for our
daughter was none but ours, and we
only can know how holy she was,
how sacred her memory must ever
be-
"But may we now borrow consola-
ton from the thought that our loss
is heavens gain; that surely her
angel spirit watches over us, erasing
with grateful tears the records of our
sins, and making easy our path to
her, with blessed and blessing pray
ers."
"Oh, sacred sorrow by whom souls are tried
Sent not to punish mortals, but to guide,
Still let me feel for what the pangs are sent
And be my guide, and not my punishment"
my stricken heart TO Jesus yields
Loves deep devotion now
Adores and biesses-while it b,eeds,
His hand that strikes the blow"
