How Protection Works.
From the Toledo Blade

VIM. Barbour, president Of the
Barbour Bros. company, which
owns linen works at Paterson, y.
j., and at Llsburn, Ireland, was in
Boston, recently, and IN a news.
paper interview gave the following
interesting facts:
1.-TWO years ago made a careful
comparison of the wages paid IN
our Paterson and Llsburn factories.
In the former we had at that time
1000 hands, and in the latter
$500. Now, IN two weeks, these
1880 operatives in Ireland drew
only $500 more pay than the 1000
In Paterson drew.
"Of these $500 and more oper-
atlves in Ireland, there Ia not one
that owns the house he lives in.
But in Paterson many have bought
and paid for nice comfortable
homes. fla man working for me
wants to build house, ! am only
glad to lend him the money, for |
know he will he more ambitious
and a better workman ID cOnse-
quence of it. Or If any of my
employees has saved up money, aid
wants to invest it, | will borrow it
and pay six per cent. for it. | have
in mind now two girls who have
saved up sl,700 apiece. They
have deposited the money with us,
and we pay them six per cent. for
it,"
81 mention these things"
said Mr.. Barbour, "simply to show
tue difference between the employees
of our two factories. None of our
employees In Ireland eyer had
wages enough to be able to have
money at Interest, to say nothing
of owning a home. The Paterson
employees all came from Ireland
originally, so you can see how much
better of they are here than they
were there. never yet had one

but every time ! 60 to l.isbnrn the

and beg for a chance to come oyrI

has a large membership, and they
propose to vote for protection IRE

He IS TURNING TO STONE.
THE PECULIAR DISEASE OF A MAN
FROM NIAGARA FALLS.

PHILADELPHIA, October g.
Jonathan K. Bass, a resident of
the interior of New York State, ar.
rived in this city from his home
last night, and is now a guest of
the Continental Hotel. Mr.. Bass
was born near Niagara Falls about
fifty seven years ago, and is the
only man in the United States who
is literally turning to stone. When
twenty. seven years old he fell from
tree tG the ground, and sustained
injuries which necessitated a sur
gical operation on his hip. Ever
since that time, about thirty years,
he has been bedridden. 1t IS sup
posed that from cOnetantly reolin-
ing in one position his tissues be-
came hardened but, be that as 1t
may, his flesh also rapidly harden.
ed, and he is now nearly petrihed
from head 10 foot. He cannot move
single muscle IN his body or face,
ard his voice seems to come from
his stomach. He has no power
whatever over his limbs, and has
to be carried about from place to
place on his cot, aud is certainly a
mystery OF the deepest kind. A
score of physicians called upon him
at his rooms at the hotel last night
and pronounce it the first and
only case of the kind that had
come under their observation.
Mr.. Bass says he suffers but
little pain, and that only from what
he calls normal causes. He does
feel the prick of pin, and does
not bleed when his skin ID
broken. Generally, ho has to be
fed by his attendants, liquid food
being given him almost entirely.
His purpose 10 coming here is to
make an engagement with Adsm
Forepaugh, whom he expects to
see tonight.

ALLOWED TO DIE A PAUPER.
THE FATE OF PRESIDENT CLEVE-
LANDS, WAR SUBSTITUTE.


Within few weeks the New York
Press has received mahJ inquiries
about the fate Of the Substitute
whom Grover Cleveland emplo ed
to serve for him when drafted during
the rebellion. The story Is sad
one, and one well known in Buffalo,
where the sequel year ago made
a profound impression. The Buffalo
correspondent of the New York
Press makes the following PLAIN
statement OF the matter:
"Instead of going to the war
when he was drafted, Grover
Cleveland sent as substitute
George Brinskl, sailor on the
lakes. He promised to pay him
$500, and to find him work when
he returned. Mr.. Cleveland paid
BrInski $3.50 down, and said he
would give him the rest when he
got back from the war, as he was
short of money and had to borrow
from his friends in order to raise
the cash payment. When the war
was over Brinski came to Mr..
Cleveland to get the $3.50 due him,
and to find employment. He was
suffering from lung disease con-
tracted during the war, and was
practically unable to support him
self. Mr.. Cleveland not only found
no work for the man who had
fought Tor him, but gave him no
money, putting him off with
promises.
"Brinski, sick and disheartened
went West. Unable to support
himself, he became an inmate of
various almshOuses, and finally
came back to Buffalo. According
to his own story he again asked
Mr.. Cleveland to redeem his prom
Uses. Nothing was done for him,
and he was finally taken to the
Erie County Almshouse, and after
ward transferred to the State
Soldiers Home at Bath. He was
in the hospital department of that
institution, suffering from disease
of the lungs, when Grover Cleyeland
was elected president.
"On election day in 1885 Presi-
dent Cleveland came to Buffalo to
vote, and Brinski, who was
then well enough to be about,
came here to see him. He found
Mr.. Cleveland in his law Office in
the Weed block, and begged him
with tears in his eyes to help him.
He reminded the President of his
promise and asked him to get him
an appointment in Washington or
to do anything that would save
him from living on charity. lie
also asked Mr.. Cleveland TO help
advance his pension claim. There
was a number of spectators Of the
pathetic scene. and the President
was consequently very gracious.
He promised that he would do all
he could for the man.
"Brinski went back to the Sol
diers' Home encouraged. Week
after week passed, and there was
no news from Washington. Finally,
he wrote to the President, remind
Ing him once more Of his promises
In reply he received a line from
, Col. Lamont saying that his letter
would be attended to. That was
the last that George Brinski ever
heard from President Cleveland
He never got his $3.50; he meyer
got employment, and he never got
his pension. He lost all hope, and
died in the Soldiers Home last
year. This, in brief, is the story
told by Brinski himself and by
personal friends of his, who swear
to Its truth. SO tar as known, II
WAS never denied by Mr.. Cleveland,
nor by any of his friends"

Extract from the Siglo, of Caracas, May Ill
We had the pleasure of visiting yesterday
afternoon the Office Of this company, which
already counts upon the general sympathies
of the public, to whom ii will render i'm
portant services.
With surprising rupidity they are advanc-
ing the required works to completion, en-
ploying in their construction only those
materials and instruments OF the best kind
and Of the most modern design known,
sparing neither expense nor efforts.
They have already placed us In com
m unication with La Guayra, which permits
us to form some idea Of the surprising per-
fection to which this wonderful invention
has attained, and which may well be called
one OF the most beautiful scientific victories
of the nineteenth century.
So sensitive is the diaphragm Of the trans
mittor that each sound Is correctly and i'm
mediately reproduced as the words are ut
tered. Not only are they repeated exactly,
but they appear to be heard at the other end
more clearly and louder, which phenomenon
may be attributed largely to the excellent
quality of the materials used, and the intel
ligenCc with which the works are being con-
Quoted, and the attention which is being
paid to the smallest details, and the su-
periority Of the apparatus employed.
We do not falter In assuring the new
company that it will meet with the ap-
proval Of the people of this city, Judging
by the desire on their part TO see the Amer
can Telephone Company permanently estab-
lished In their midst, and being conducted
by men Of intelligence ana men who know
practically their business.
Before closing we congratulate with much
pleasure the chief of the new office, Mr..
Dooley, and we congratulate Caracas upon
the establishment within her limits of thi $
necessary and satisfactory means of com
munication.

TIE HOUSE.

Mr.. O'Neill, of Missouri, presented the
conference report on his bill to create de-
partment of labor which was accepted, and
the bill passed In substantially the same
shape as II came from the Senate.
Mr.. Spinola, of New York, rising to a
question of privilege. had read special dis
patch to New York newspaper, criticising
him for not demanding immediate action
upon the bill to place Gen. Fremont's name
on the retired list when he reported it few
days ago. Mr.. Spinola said that the Re
publicans had imposed upon an innocent,
unsophisticated reporter, and that he should
hold the entire Republican side of the House
responsible for Justification of the truth.
AS q matter Of fact the bill had received the
unanimous support of Democratic members
of the committee, while the Republicans
had opposed IL.
The House then proceeded to consider the
report of the committee ofthe whole on the
legislative appropriation bill.
The first amendment upon which a di-
vision was demanded was that increasing
the clerical force of the civil service COM
mission, which was adopted by yove Of So
to As
A yea and nay vote was demanded on the
amendment to re-establish the St.. Louis
assay Office.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Randall, of Pennsylvania, stated that
there were forty blanks in the bill, all in
provisions for salaries, which had been made
by points of order, and he asked consent to
fill them in according to existing law.
Mr.. Buchanan, of New Jersey, objected,
and charged the appropriation committee
with responsibility for the blanks in disre-
garding the rules.
The bill was then recommitted to the ap-
preparation committee,
Mr.. Mills moved to dispense with the
morning hour, presumably to take up the
tariff bill, but could not secure the necessary
two-thirds vote.
The committees We're called Tor reports,
and then, on motion Of Mr.. Mills, and with
out negative voice, the House went into
committee of the whole for the cOnsidera-
tion of the tariff bill
The chairman, Mr.. Springer, announced
that the bill would be considered for amend
ments under the flve-minute rule,
Mr.. Mckinley asked unanimous consent
to have the entire bill read.
Mr.. Mills objected.
Mr.. Mckinley asked for the reading Of
the reports of the majority and minority, but
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, objected, and the
clerk read the enacting clause Of the bill.
Mr.. Adams, Of Illinois, offered an amend
ment to make the bill take effect Jan. l
next, instead Of July ].
