PICKING OUT PLACES.
Blue Books I'm Demand - Questions
asked Of Democratic Officials.

There is great demand for blue books and
department registers all at once. The amount
of interest developed in the public Offices is
something phenomenal. Letters come to the
departments nearly every day requesting in
formation of this kind. Department officials
say that the supply will hardly equal the de-
mand unless the printing presses are started.
The general supposition on the part of officials
is that this information is wanted so that those
who expect to receive Office from the new adj
ministration can pick out their places. sit is
easy enough to look over the blue book" OBJ
served an official, '.and it is easy enough to
pick out an Office, but il is quite another thing
to get the Office, as these gentlemen will discov-
er."
While to some extent it may be considered
gall and worm-w wood to the democratic officials
to receive requests for assistance from their
late opponents who want to step into their
places, it is much more aggravating to have
them coolly present themselves in person at
the department and calmly state that they
would like to find out something about the
duties of the place in order to determine
whether it will suit This is an experience
which government official has nearly every
day in these times, and it must be said that the
majority submit to the changed conditions with
philosophic calmness.

He Disowned Her While Rich.

FORGIVENESS AND AID.
A special to the New York World from Hunt
ington, Pa, November "a, says: Alexander R.
Laird, once a prominent and wealthy lumber
merchant of Kalamazoo, Mich, reached this
city to-day foot-sore from tramping and clad in
tatters. He is on his way to Skeleton, this
state where his daughter resides Five years
ago Laird was considered millionaire prop
erty-owner, but disastrous confagration
swept away his property, and by succeeding
mlsfortunes he was left penniless. The past
three years he has been wandering aimlessy
through the western safes living on the charity
of strangers, until infirmities of body have
forced him to seek for succor at the hands of
his daughter, whom he had once banished from
home and renowned forever. In 1884 his only
child and daughter secretly married an en-
ploye of her father named Albright and when
the news of the marriage had leaked out Laird
In a moment of passion. drove his daughter
from his door and refused to hold any further
intercourse with her, in spite of her appeals
for forgiveness. The banished daughter and
her husband then moved to Skeleton, Pa,
where Albright is still pursuing his trade. Now,
since failure and misfortune have overtaken
Laird, he has set his face toward his daugh .er's
home, and hopes that in spite of his past un-
friendliness his present needy condition will
awaken in her feeling of compassion. The old
man had walked from Johnstown, 60 miles dis
tant since YESTERDAY, and hopes to reach his
daughters before THANKSGIVING

O'Conner the Champion.

HE DEFEATED TEEMER WITH EASE on SATURDAY
The result of the three-mile boat race Satur-
day afternoon, between John Teemer and VIM.
O'Connor for the championship of America and
S2,5OO stakes. was won easily by OConnor, as
announced in an extra edition of The STAR,
which was on the streets before the crowds had
returned from the river 'front.' OConnor took
the lead at the start and kept it throughout the
race, although Teemer nearly caught him at
the turn. This greatly encouraged Teemer's
friends, but when Strengthened for home the
Canadian made a beautiful squirt and drew
away by several boat lengths, without any ap-
parent difficulty. The rest of the race was
procession, and O'Connor won in :33 by about
ten lengths. Teemer's performance was great
disappointment to his admirers. who
had begun to regard him as the fastest
oarsman in the world. The ease with which
he was defeated led a number, particularly
those who lost money, to claim that the race
had been sold. 1t has been whispered around
since Saturday that the race was arranged by
Rodgers, OConnor's hacker. and that Morris
and st. John, Teemer's hackers, had none of
their own money at stake. This report has
gained ground since the announcement that
another race between the men would be ar
ranged to take place in San Francisco. Disin-
terested spectators, however, are not ready to
believe that Teemer could hold his claims to
the championship, and his prospective honors

Picking Up Free Fuel.

HOW SOME FAMILIES GET THEIR COAL WITHOUT
CosT-PETTY PILFERING.
In South Washington, where the coal-cars
are unloaded, many tons of coal are lost to the
dealers during the year. In the section known
as BLOOD Field" can be seen almost any morn
ing two or three dozen boys and girls, with
baskets and bags, looking for free fuel. They
pick up from along the tracks the coal which
is dropped from the cars while being unloaded
and then follow the carts through the streets
to bag any Jumps that may drop when the
vehicles strikes a stone or a rough place in the
street. Then when the driver is not looking
they will grab coal from the CARTS In this way
many children succeed in gathering enough
fuel to run the fires at home during the entire
year. When a crowd strikes a driver who is
asleep ON his cart they have a ''snap," and it
takes but few minutes to fill their bag or
basket. Sometimes the police interfere and ar
rest them, but most of them conduct their steal
ing the year round without detection. The same
thing Is practiced to some extent on the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad Sometimes the cars
run short, because the coal is stolen before
they are unloaded- Every now and then COM
plants are made, and railroad detectives are
sent here to protect the freight. Then num-
Der OF arrests are made, and for several days
the coal gatherers make themselves scarce
But when the detectives leave they usually
know 1t, and operations are renewed.
