Irish Trndes union congress.

Hull, September 6.--The British
Trades Union Congress began its ses-
sious today in this city. The retiring
President, Mr.. Mandsley, in an ad-
dress, insisted that in lessening the
number OF hours constituting days
work lay the best known remedy for
the lack Of employment, which so de-
pi essed labor today. He denied that
there was in the world an over abund-
ance OF workers. The trouble was
that labor was not we'll regulated and
that such vast numbers OF men were
30 far over employed that the neces'
savy work Of the worlds production
was accomplished by a much smaller
number OF persons than that which
should find employment in 1t, with
the result that thousands were in wAn'

A Reputation VOL Rarned.

The Bee, during its existence, has
had dealings with large number OF
advertising SCENTS, from whom 1t has
received vast amount Of business. 1t
has still q great many such friends,
who, recognizing its value as an I'D
vertisiDg medium, are daily sending
new business. Among this number
may be mentioned the well known
firm Of Geo. P. Rowell Il Co., No. 10
Spruce street, New York City, whose
reputation for honest dealing Is too
we'll known to need auy mention in
these columns. The Bee, however, de-
sires to say that 1t has never yet
known more prompt house in regard
to its Iemittauces. So thoroughly
have they systematissd their businefs
that the moment bill is received 1t is
checked up, and If found correct, a
check is at once mailed to cover same
in full. Only three or four days ever
elapse from the time the Bee renders a
bill until check is r. ceived in pay
meut.
On August 18th a bill was mailed
them, and stamp upon its face indi-
Gates being received by them on the
10th, q remittance reaching the Bee on
August goth. This is no special case,
and it is spoken of only to give a
worthy and deserving firm proper
credit and encouragement for its won
derful promptness. - Toledo (O1io)

BIG FAILURE AT BOSTON.
A Sensation Created I'm the Shoe
Trade.

BcsroN, MASS, September 6.-The
failure of Cloutman & Bingham, boot
and shoe dealers, was announced to-
day, creating sensation in the shoe
trade. Their liabilities are not poei-
lively known. but it is believed they
will reach 100000. This efrernoon
the firm made an assignment for the
benefit of creditors TO Francis B. r.
Sears, cashier of the Third National
Bank. The firm, which is special
partnership concern, is composed of
John F. Cloutmsn, OF Pennington, N.
H., and G. P. Bingham, OF Boston,
and hes been doing busiuessi in Boston
for several years at No. go South street.
The firm hes done a very large
business as manufacturers and general
jobbsrs and was largely interested in
several shoe factories which, owing to
various causes, have not been profita-
lie. No estimate as yet can be made
Of the amount the finn will be able to
pay. The crs ditors are msinlv in Bos.
ton, with some few in New York and
New Hampshire. The assets consist
mostly OF accounts. The chief cause
OF the failure is said to have been the
present stiiugency in the money mar
ket.
Allen & Noble, hardware dealers
have filed petition OF insolvency in
Cambridge. Their direct lisbilitiei
are about $1,000 aud the indirect near
ly 100000, being Inducements o
paper of failed firms. About twenty
fins have been in the habit of dis
counting paper with them which they
would indorse and discount at bank
1t is said that their usual rate was l:
per cent, and one firm is said to have
paid $4,000 tot them Ia discount
and interest during the past year
Nine firms who have ueed them have
already failed, and some others are
having a difficult time in meeting thei
obligations.
