Poor Wretches who Pick Up scanty Liv
ila.- = nnt,r..I rl,n MINI

Poor WretChes Who PICK Up a Scanty Ltv-
Ing round Iron Mills.
A peculiar and not altogether pleasing
sight about the iron and steel works in
this city, says YOUNGSTOWN Pa.) letter
to the New York Times, is the groups Of
men, women and children that are con-
stantly prodding and digging in the Gin
der-dumps, and are known as cobble-
pickers The men are always old, and
frequently weak and lettering. The
mark Of poverty is on all the women,
and the children, who are always in
the majority, are abiect-looking
creatures, and range from the
age of s to 49, Cobblcs are the bits of
iron and steel that remain among the
cinders from the furnaces and are
dumped with them on the cinder piles
On the gathering Of these bits of metal
the small army Of toilcrs referred to de.
peudfor their living. With hoes and rakes
they dig in the cinders as they are
dumped and struggle and push and
wrangle Tor the possession of the metal
as il is uncovered.
Each picker has q basket In which is
placed the result of the piclSings. Over
200 persons daily delve in the grimy
dump for cobbles, While they will use
all manner of means to secure possession
of a lucky find in the dumps, after q
picker has filled his basket and omptied
1t on his "pile." few feet away, there
is not one among the curious and by no
means scrupulous pickers who would
touch one of the cobbles in 1t. Each
picker has his or her pile of cobbles, and
| the iron company's teams come around
Mt intervals. The driver weighs each
pile, gives the owner q voucher for it,
and takes the accumulated metals to the
scrap heaps to be melted again.
The earnings of the goblet ickers
range from $40 to $40 per month, and
there are women who have been on the
dumps for years, The case of one
woman and her 12-year.old daughter is
notorious, because they earn not only
their own living, but enough to feed and
clothe the husband and father, who is
an employee of the iron works, and gets
| 500 month which he squanders in
drink and riotous living az soon rs he is
paid. One old man on the cobble dumps,
who is barely able to save enough tc
keep him from starving. was once Q
| prominent business man, worth ut least
$50, 600.
The work of cobble-piciing Is one Of
the lowest forms Of human occupation
and its degrading effect on the younS
girls and boys engaged in it is only too
apparent. Many efforts have been made
by church and other societies in Johns
town to suppress cobble-picking among
the children, but with Indifferent sue

A FRESH COMPLEXION.
Some Advice Which the Ladies Might
Follow to Advantage.

From he Mail and cypress.
The best means of preserving the COM
plexion is first to avoid care and worry,
anxiety and fretfulness, which are detri-
mental to the complexion. Try to sleep
well, and be careful of diet, and meet
the world as il comes. Cold atmosphere
and plenty of cold water are good tonics,
excepting in cases of exceedingly deli
cate people. Protect your faces from
strong winds by wearing thick veil
until the skin becomes somewhat hard
ened to the cold.
Some good writers and prominent ply.
sicians oppose the use of cold water and
advise hot water 81 must say l am
much opposed to heat in any form for
the face" says a lady who has made
dermatology a study, and who has a most
beautiful complexion of her own to show
for her care and study. For example,
you wash your face on rising in the
morning with hot or cold water. which is
more agreeable in its results if you are
compelled to go outdoors? After wash
ing ones face in hot water 1t feels drawn
and soft If exposed to the air. Now,
what you want is not q soft but hard
skin, firm but smooth and velvety-look-
ing. You can never have pretty COM
plexion with soft skin, as it very soon
wrinkles, and who does not detest
wrinklesP"
So, ladies, do not use hot water Do
not eat too much; that coarsens the skin
and makes it assume a masculine look.
Those that have too much color should
avoid all rich meats and stimulating
drinks.
If people would make study of der
matology and pay more attention to ply
Biological laws, there would probably be
more good, healthy compilations and
fewer demands for cosmetics. But will
that time ever come? My experience OF
the past few days, am sorry TO say, lead
me to believe that the use of cosmetics
is alarmingly on the increase

LlGHT-WEIGHTS AT IT.
MoAULITFE KNOCKS OUT a FORMER
CHAMPION.
Fifteen Hundred People SEQ sam Coiiyer
Desied IN Less Than Four Minutes
Present Methods Contrastod with old
Time ways-An Easy victory.

BRooKLYN, N. Y. Dec. 1S.-The six
round g ove.fght, Marquis OF Queens
berry rules between Jack McAulilre, the
light weight champion, and Sam COllyer,
who held that title some ten years ago,
was fought last night at Palace Hall be-
fore 800 people, among them promin-
ent club men OF New York, sprinling
of pugilists and general cosmopolitan
gathering. Several sparrifg and wrest-
ling bouts preceded the event of the
evening Collyer Id n years old, weighed
40 pounds and stands D feet inches.
McAulifTe is 81 years of age, tipped the
scales at 14S pounds and measured feet
7 inches.
The former was attended by Denny
Butler and Tom lee; Billy Madden and
Bob Drew acting as seconds for McAulilfc.
Steve Brodie and Bob Turnbull acted ms
time keepers. Charley Johnston acted
as referee. Time was called at 1855.
First Misunderstanding started the
battle by getting in on Collyer's face
heavily, repeating the dose again imme-
diately. A clinch followed after which
the champion reached for the old-timcr's
stomach, but failed to get there. Collyer
reached for the same place and slightly
hit his opponent.
MoAuliffc then assumed rushing tao.
tics, smashing Collyer three times in
succession on the face After Il little
sparring Collyer received a singing up
per cut on the Jaw and before he could
recover himself got two more blows in
the ribs. McAuliife tried for another
upper cut but Collyer was wary and got
out of harms way. Sparring closed the
round
Second Round--Collyer lead, but was
neatly parted BY McAullfre who re-
| turned hot facet on the veteran.
The latter got IN blow on his oppo-
nets face when the latter sailed in and
| landed two upper cuts on Collyer's jaw
in rapid succession. Sam faltered, and
the youngster avaled himself of the OPP
portunity, and by tremendous blow,
straight from tho shoulder landed on
Collyer's jaw. He reeled and fell down
in heap gaspingfor breath. 1t was q
square knock-dowh blow. and being un-
able to rise at the expiration of ten sec
onds the fight was given to McAuliffe.
Collyer did not have the ghost of a
chance, only getting in two or three
blows. The fight lasted less than four
minutes.
The winner receives 60 per cent. of the
gate receipts. The fight was striking
Illustration of the methods used by the
pugilists Of the present day and those of
the old timers. McAuliffe's position was
almost identical tb that of his mentor,
Jack Dempsey, his hands and right leg
being well extended and carrying him
self in an upright aud firm attitude,
while Collyer assumes a more shifty
stand, crouching low and typically ex-
employing the English style.

From he NJ Y. Tribune.
Mr.. H. II. Johnston, the explorer of
Kiltmanjaro, has confidence in the safety
of Mr.. Henry M. Stanley. He says. ITO
call ones self 'Mwana wa Bula Matadr
the child of the Stone. breaker (Stan-
leY)-was, as have elsewhere and for
merly described, a sure passport to the
frie ndship of the riverain natives. Stan
ley is loath to resort TO force, not from
sentimental reasons, but because he, as
an experienced African traveller, realizes
the futility of travelling through savage
countries rs an enemy, where you must
alternately fight pitched battles for your
life and struggle against impending star
walton induced by the severe boycotting
of the natives.
He would, you may be sure, only at
tack and kill in absolute self.defense, to
prevent the ruin of his expedition; but
he is such a past master in the art OF
managing that child-man, the untutored
savage, that it will have been only under
circumstances of the gravest danger and
the cruelest provocation that in his
march from the Aruwim to the Nile he
will have given orders to fire on the hos
tile natives.
GOTTEN, no doubt, he will have stopped
to talk, to argue, TO playfully cajole, to
dissipate distractions and hostility with
wheedling words and humorous tricks. /
remember his once saying to me, just as

open hand, but never strike him with the
closed fist; and never shoot until YOU are
first attacked and escape seems hope,

Must the Umbrella Go?

FROM me ". \. Graphic.
"ls the umbrella on the declneg" well
known dealer In that useful articid was
asked on a recent rainy day. The question
was inspired by the sight of so many men and
women who passed by wearing gossamers and
mackintoshes to keep off the rain, aud
walked unencombered, seemingly obvious to
wet hands aud water soaked headgear.
"Well;: considering the increase in popu-
lation and rainy days, | should say
was" remarked the dealer" but
umbrellas than we used to we don't lose
any trade by the operation, for there are so
many good substitutes for that combination of
stick and wire which bring good prices that
we are satisfied if7the OLD, fashioned umbrella
holds its own, and this 1t does, for there are
Just as many sold as ever, but the general
quality is not as good SO many cheap imita-
tlone of silk flood the market that the call
for fine goods is comparatively light.
"You see,n continued the umbrella maker,
growing interested, "there are so many articles
which supply the place of an umbrella, that
are both fashionable and modern, aud allow
the wearer free use OF the hands that the
relative demand for umbrellas In big city
where such conveneneee first appear Is not
very large, but the out-of-town trade use lot
OF umbrellas, and the increased demand in
that direction often more than covers the de-
ilclency in city sales Gossamers and other
varieties OF waterproof cloths are now an
important factor In the rainy day trade, aud
our inventive American women, always with
an eye to effect, have concluded that they
look quite charming in a pouring rain clad
In pretty waterproof Then the men are so
apt TO say: 'What brave girl; she dosn't
seem to mind the storm While the women
are tlattering their vanity and pleasing the
men they are combining appearances with
comfort, for the modern gossamer is very
successful in keeping their garments dry, and
pretty girl with bright eyes can travel around
the city all day in the rain, improving her
complexion, and come home at night as dry
aud comfortable as II she had passed the
whole day by tho flreside, whereas, IL she
carried an umbrella, she would be wet
from the waist down.
