THE EIGHT HOUR DEMAND
Labor's Cry Heard Throughout
the Land.
A QUIET BUT DETERMINED STAND

No Trouble In Any city on May Day. but
Great Confidence in the Success Of ths
Movement-Red Flags Displayed at New
York.
CHICAGO May 2.--May day, with It's dem
onstration by organized labor in behalf Of
the eight hour workday, has come and
gone, and the predictions OF riot and blood
shed and an almost universal strike by tho
trades have not been realized. Labor. in.
deed, was in great measure suspended,
but those who dropped their tools for the
day did not do so for the purpose Of taking
up sticks and paving stones and indulging
IN riotous demonstrations
The Strike Fever subsiding
The talk Of strike at the stock yards is
failure There has been no concerted action
toward ceasing work by the men, and the
only trouble that is now feared is that the
packers may refuse to allow some Of the
men participating in the parade to 20 back
TO work Squads Of police were on duty at
the various large packing houses, but thera
was no call for their services.
The decision to forego strike at the
stoch ydrus ana the general idea among
the lumber showers and others employed
along the "black road" TO let well enough
alone greatly diminished the danger Of any
trouble During the last three days the
feeling In favor0f strike has been greatly
allayed.
The Minors Conference.
The conference between the coal opera
tors and miners has thus far resulted in
nothing When the joint committee met
they were practically agreed upon profit
sharing system, the miners to receive tha
scale Of prices Of last year and to share in
the profits above certain figure The
committee reported TO the convention at
o'clock that certain complications had
arisen which made it impossible to perfect
plan at present, and recommended an adj
journment and a study Of the question, SO
that it could be put in operation next year.

FACTS IN A NUTSHELL.

THE Lutherans in the Baltic prov
inces of Russia have undertaken a Wig
orous campaign against intemperance,
and have already achieved notable
success.
THE Anglo Temperance Association is
making rapid advances in India. The
object of the organization is to secure
the ultimate prohibition of the sale of
liquor throughout India.
II is said that Mr.. George w. Childs
confidently states that since the intro
duction of foreign and native mineral
waters as a table beverage the use Of
wine has decreased one-half at dinner
plrties and entertainments.
Towns and cities receive annually
from liquor licenses about $3.50, 900,
while over $97, 900, 900 is paid into sa-
looms by the people. For every dollar
paid in for license about twenty-one dol
lars are paid out by the people. The sa-
loon antagonizes all good government
and all educational Influences
d. Wright.
SINCE the establishments OF the Vienna
free kitchens the number of drunkards
is said to have greatly diminished. The
medical profession testify to enor-
nous improvements in the health of
the lower classes. arrangements of
the stomach, formerly the most frequent
cases in Vienna hospitals, have de-
creased to one-third of the number Of
ten years ago.
THE drink consumed by the working
classes of the United States last year
cost $1,2S0, 900, 900, nearly twice the
banking capital of the country, more
than one-fourth the cost of all the mills
and factories, and considerably more
than one-fourth of the cost of all the
railroads. Think of it! Mr.. Powderly
says: THE rum habit is the wage
earner's greatest enemy" Who can
doubt it?
A New YORKER just returned from
Virginia City tells of queer conjunc-
ton that he saw there. On the four cor
ners Of Cove and Church streets in that
city, he says, are to be seen, first liquor
store, then druggists store and doc
tors Office, then an undertaker's Office,
and on the last corner a graveyard.
There is something in this combination
suggestive of getting rid of a man with
neatness and dispatch.

A lady whom I know is thinking
(writes Miss Mantaline) of opening hair
cutting saloon for gentleman, and hav-
ing trained army of lady hair dressers
to wait upon them. There is no doubt
that staff of lady hair cutters would
attract customers. There is no reason
at all why women should not be en-
ployed to barber" men. Women bar
bers are largely employed to cut wo-
mems hair, and mans hair is easier to
cut than a woman's. OF course the wo-
men BARRIERS would have to gain pro-
ticiency in shaving, and the question is
where will they get their experience
now that Barnum's bearded lady has left
England. The popular theory is that
the youthful barber gets his hand in on

are expensive, and even shaving a

toner sufficient deXterity to deal with

THE TRAFFIC IN GIN.
1t Degrades the People of Africa More
Than Did the slave Trade.


With the stoppage of the slave trade
the gin traffic only received more pow
erful stimulus. To its propagation all
the energies Of the traders were de-
voted. For spirits there was already a
huge demand, and it was increasing out
of all proportion to the taste for better
things. 1t required no eXertions on the
part of the merchants to set it agoing,
and once started it grew and spread of
itself without any danger of its stop
ping. The profits, too, were enormous
and certain, because the appetite for
drink had to be assuaged, no matter
what the price. Yet in all conscience
the pleasures of intoxication are not
expensive in West Africa. Over the
doorway Of hundreds of traders houses
might he hung the signboard of Ho-
garth's picture: Drunk for penny,
dead drunk for two pence" only tho
''clean straw for nothing" would have
to be left out. With the traffic in USE
full articles it was entirely different. To
push it was a slow and laborious task,
and the profits were uncertain, which
did not suit mon who wanted to make
money rapidly.
The result of this state of matters is
that the diabolical work commenced by
the slave trade has been effectually
carried on and widened by that in
spirits. l, for one, am inclined to be-
lieve that the latter is producing
greater-and what are likely to be quite
as lasting-evils than the former. The
spirit traffic has a more brutalizing eff
feet; it more effectually blights all the
natives energies, it ruins his constitu-
ton, and, through the habits it gives
rise to, his lands are left as desolate as
after slave raid.
What are the most characteristic
European imports into West Africa?
Gin, rum, gunpowder and guns. What
European articles are most in demand?
The same. In what light do the natives
look upon the Europeans? Why, as
makers and sellers of spirits and guns.
What largely supports the govern
mental machinery of that region? Still
the same articles.
The ships which trade to Africa are
loaded with gin out of all proportion to
more useful articles; the warehouses
along the coast are filled with it. The
air seems to reek with the vile stuff.
and every hut is redolent of its fumes.
Gin bottles and boxes meet the eye at
every step, and in some places the
wealth and Importance of the various
villages are measured by the size of the
pyramids of empty gin bottles which
they erect to their own honor and glory
and the envy of poorer districts. Over
large areas it is almost the sole cur
rency, and in many parts the years
wages of the negro factory workers is
paid in spirits, with which they return
home to enjoy few days of fiendish de-
bauch.-Joseph Thomson, in Contem-

A MAN OF FEW WORDS.
How q Dull English Waiter Interpreted
His Modest Order.


A young man, some years ago, arrived
at certain inn, and, after alighting
from his trap, went into the commercial
room, where he walked backwards and
forwards for some minutes, displaying
the utmost self-importance. At length
he rang the bell, and upon the walters
appearance gave him an order nearly as
follows:
"Waiterr' eyes sir!"
81 am man of few words, and don't
like to be continually ringing the bell
and disturbing the house; I'll thank you
to pay attention to what say"
Eyes. sir"
SIN the first place; bring me in aglass
Of brandy and water, cold, with little
sugar and also teaspoon; wipe down
this table, throw some Goals on the fire,
and sweep up the hearth; bring me a
couple of candles, pen, ink, and paper,
some waters, little sealing-wax; and
let me know what time the post goes
out.
Tell the ostler to take care of my
horse, dress him we'll, and let me know
when he's ready to feed. Order the
chamber maid to prepare me good bed,
take care that the sheets are we'll aired,
and that there is glass of water in the
room.
'Ask your mistress what 1 can have
for supper. Tell her l should like
roast duck, or some thing of that sort.
Desire your master to step in; want to
ask him few questions about the
diapers of this town."
The waiter answered, eyes, SIR" and
then went to the landlord and told him
gentleman in the commercial room
wanted great many things, and
amongst the rest he wanted him, and
that was all he could recollect.- Leeds

A Terrible Story from Chicago.

Some one has said that saloons can no
more be run without boys than saw
mills without logs. Lately in Chicago
"a school-teacher noticed knot of
boys counting the number of holes in
some cards. He called one of them up
and insisted on knowing what it meant,
and the boy told him that a saloon
keeper who had his saloon near tho
school had given them those cards, and
every time Uhey took drink he punched
them-one hole for beer, two for straight
drinks and three for mixed drinks-and
each month he gave prizes. The boy
who had the most holes punched in his
card got revolver, the second life of
Jesse James and the third meerschaum
pipe."--N. Y. Witness
