Gum Chewing tor PRICES.

The Sum Chewing Club Of York
Vile held it's annual reception and
grand chewing match last night. says
the n. Y. S1M.
This club is an organization whose
only Ohjec: Is to encourage the art of
chewing gum. To further this oh
ject they hold . match every now and
then, in which the person who can
chew the biggest qnid Of gum gels IL
prize. The prize far Yesterdays con
test was a guild watch.
Fifteen thousand tickets had been
distributed during the week, and
about 1000 mel and t. cir gals"
came to witness the contest. As they
passed through the door each received
q little pastcboard box containing a
bar CT tutti fruitti. About 9o'clWrk
nearly 1900 jaws mechanically work
ed u? aud down through Il bit OF gum,
keeping tune to the waltz Of "Raxzle
Dazzle" which . band was grinding
out. At the end at each heat Of time
1900 pairs Of teeth clicked.
The young women and their "fel-
lers" did nothing but sit around aud
chew gum. At lO} o'clock five young
women with very muscular laws
mounted a platform at the end Of the
reon,, aud everybody applauded.
These were the champion gum chew
ers. The master IF ceremonies made
. short speech, after which he ha...-
ed each Of the chewers \ bar Of gum,
Each assumed q different graceful at
titude as sho struck the first chew in
her mouth, aud the audience applaud
ed again. When the bar was
thoroughly chewed, another bar was
handed around which had tn be '.chcw-
ed in" with the first. Gradually the
jaws Of the young women began tn
swell, until they looked very much
like the jaws Of the late Mr.. Crowley |
Of Central Park. One by one the con-
testants dropped ont. When the re- |
porter left the contest had narrowed |
down to two. with u score of 81 bars
each, and jaws that looked like an
attack of the humps. The best re-
cord so far was 81 bars, made last
year by a young woman, who is now !!
said to te in the insane asylum on
Wards Island.

ter which Charley Mitchell wanted a
chance at Kilrain, and the two came TO-
gether and fought four rounds, also draw.

ABIG BRIDGE.
The st. Lawrence to be Spanned at
Quebec by Cantilever
Structure.

Iron: The st. Lawrence is to be crossed
at Quebec by gigantic railway bridge,
which will very materially effect the traffic
of the two great railways of Canada-the
Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacifc-ss
we'll as an important part of the railway
system of the New England States. The
great depth of the St. Lawrence river op-
posite Quebec has hitherto been a power
full argument against the construction of
bridge, but engineering skill has overcome
this obstacle with scheme to build
cantilever bridge, which will cost
close upon $l0,0O0,O0O. The width
of the river from shore to shore
at Quebec is $4,000 feet (about
four and three fourths miles. Two main
piers are to be constructed Of solid granite
in forty feet of water, about 500 feet from
shore These two piers are to support a
cantilever bridge of span of 1,442 feet.
The total length of the bridge, with the
approaches, will be $4,000 feet nearly six
and one half miles. The top of the bridge
from high water level will be
3O4 feet, and the largest ocean
steamers will be able to pass under it. The
principal object in building the bridge is to
connect the International railway from
Halifax and st. John to Quebec, which is
run by the Canadian government at great
annual loss to the country, with the Cana
dian Pacific railway. This is the only link
uncompleted necessary to give the Cana
dian Pacific railway an uninterrupted line

From the beginning of the administra-
tion Captain William Meredith, Of Chicago,
has been talked about as likely to receive
the appointment of Chief of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. The prophets
were right in this instance; their man has
the office, in which he succeeds E. O.
Graves. Mr.. Meredith is native of In
diana. He served in the Seventh Regi-
ment of that State, which was commanded
by Gen. Harrison, now President of the
United States. Captain Meredith is prac
tical printer; he has for fifteen years been
superintendent of the steam plate printing
department of the Western Engraving and
Note Company, of Chicago. After the war
he was for number of years foreman of the
Indianapolis Journal composing room, and
later of the composing room of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat.
Captain Meredith is pleasantly remem-
bered by many Montana people, having re-
sided here for several years, serving for
some time as chief clerk of the Surveyor
Generals Office under his father, Gen. Sol.
Meredith. His appointment by all who
know him is considered an excellent one.

Wages in the United States in 1900.

The condition of the American wages
class nearly century ago is full of in
struction. In large cities unskilled work.
men were hired by the day, bought their
own food and found their own lodgings.
But in the country, on the farms, or here
ever a hand is employed on some public
work, they were fed and lodged by the en-
ployer, and given few dollars a month.
On the Pennsylvania canals the digeers
ate the coarest diet, were housed
in the rudest sheds, and were paid
$6 a month from May to Novem-
ber and SIS q month from November
to May. Hod carriers and mortaa mixers,
diggers and choppers, who from 1898 to
1900 labored on the public buildings and
cnt the streets and avenues of Washington,
received $40 year, or, if they wished. $50
for all the work they could perform from
March l to December 20. The hours of
work were invariably from sunrise to sun
set. Wages at Albany and New York were
3s., or, as money then went, 40 cents day:
at Lancaster, So to $40 a month; elsewhere
in Pennsylvania workmen were content
with Sc in summer and S. in win
ter. At Baltimore men were glad
to be hired at 16d. a day. None
by the month asked more than Sc Al
Fredericksburg the price for labor was
from $6 to 81. In Virginia white men en-
ployed by the year were given e16 curren
cy; slaves, when hired, were clothed, and
their masters paid e1 q month. A pound,
Virginia money, was, in Federal money,

the country was S65 year, with food and

JOHN Il. SULLIVAN.
The Worlds Champion Heavy Weight
Fighter.

Fighter.
Bruiser Sullivan, the pride of Boston,
who has just vanquished Kilrain, has a
reputation second to no pugilist that ever
lived. He has made great deal of money
by exhibitions of his skill in sparripg, with
particulars of which the papers have over
flowed The Boston giant has been de-
scribed as hard" citizen. His alleged
cruelty to his true and lawful wife and his
occasional inebriety are remembered against
him, but he is popular fellow notwith-
standing. John L. was born at Boston in
1858. The beginning of his great reputa-
ton was made on February Z, 1882, when
he fought Paddy Ryan, champion of
America, in front of Barnes Hotel, Missis-
sippi City, Mississippi. After nine rounds,
lasting eleven minutes, Sullivan was de-
clared the victor and the winner of $4,000,
which was the amount of the stakes. On
March 16, 1888, Sullivan fought Charles
Mitchell at ApremOnt, France. The fight
which was for $1,000, ended in draw.
Sullivan's defeat of Ryan was of a man
who had beaten Joe GOss, the champion of
England, and is the cornerstone of his
reputation. He fought Kilrain for $4,000
and the championship of the world.
