INTERESTED IN THE oEsT BILL.

Former Government E Employees Won
dering If They Will Benefit by 1t.
7. F. Gleason of this city, who was SUPER
intendent Of the repairs to Forts Sumter
and Moultrie from 1872 to 1878, in discuss
ing the Gest bill for back pay for labor,
which has been favorably reported for
passage by the committee on labor, SAYS
that the estimate of the committee that it
will require $4,000 to pay such claims for
the war department is too low an estimate,
and he thinks it will run up into the mil
lions.
Mr.. Gleason says that during the six
years of his superintendent of the govern
ment work on the two forts mentioned
there were from 90 to $50 men employed,
and the lowest wages paid was to common
laborers, and that was at the rate of $150
per day, but that the larger number of en-
ployes were mechanics, who were paid 81
per day.
Mr.. Gleason has in his possession time
books showing the exact time each Of the
men worked, and they will doubtless bring
him good round sum from some enter
prising claims lawyer in the event that the
bill becomes law, as they are Mr.. Glea-
sons private property, from which he made
up the pay rolls
Mr.. Gleason says that question will arise
as to whether there will be any back pay
for the two hours extra worked daily by the
horses and carts. The laborers, workmen,
and mechanics in the employ of the war,
navy and postoffice departments have been
generally required to work ten
hours a day since the eight-hour
law went into effect on June IS, 1868.
The Gest bill provides that government
employees be paid on a basis of eight hours
for days work, and the court of claims is
directed to adjust all claims of this kind on
that basis, and no statute of limitations, or
payment made, or contract or receipt given
for less sum per day than the full price of
days work shall bar recovery.
Mr. Gleason was paid at the rate of SIS
per day for six years, and put in ten hours
for days work, and it is a question with
him, as it will be with many others, whether
or not he can claim pay for two hours on
each working day, although employed by
the month and not by the day. He is in
clined to think that he has the right of
recovery, as his day should have
been just eight hours long like the
rest At any rate he will, in the event that
the bill becomes a law, demand his full
privileges under it, The back pay due him
would be somewhat over $4,000, and the
entire work from 1872 to 1878 on Fort
Sumter and Fort Moultrie by the govern
ment employees would entitle them to back
pay ranging from $4,000 to 100000.

LIFE AMONG TIE PERsIANa

Rev. Er. Whipple's Address Upon
Missionary Work in the East.
Rev. ". l. Whipple, missionary Of the
American Bible Society in Persia, made a
short address at the First Presbyterian
church last night.
Mr.. Whipple is located at Tabreezs, a city
Of Northern Persia, with a population Of
about 100000. During his eighteen years
service as a missionary he has distributed
5000 copies Of the Bible in dozen differ
ent languages, but chiefly in the Syriac
The first newspaper ever published in Persia
was under the auspices Of the American
Bible Society, with Mr.. Whipple as editor.
The first mission in Persia was started by
Dr.. Perkins and Dr.. Grant. The latter, it
will be remembered, published book on
Persia in which he tried to prove that the
Perslans, or at least part Of them, were the
lost ten tribes Of Israel.
Previous to the establishment of the mis-
sion there were only few copies Of the
Bible IN Persia, and these were in manu-
script form.
Mr.. Whippls spoke of the similarity in
many respects of the beliefs of the
Mohammedans and christians The
Mohammedans acknowledged that there
are four works of divine inspira-
namely buo OlQ 1ehIaneDb, i06
Psalms, the New Testament and the Koran.
In speaking OF Christ the Mohammedans
admit his authority as true prophet, but
deny his divinity. The speaker referred TO
the practice of polygamy and the degrade
tlon OF the Persian women. He said the
Persians have no word for 'home" or
wife" and, in fact, they have neither
home nor wife. They have houses and
women.
A Mohammedan lady expressed her sur
prise TO the speaker on one occasion, when
IN speaking of his family he told her that
ne had only one wife, and that she looked
after all of his business affairs, having
charge OF the keys to his money drawer.
Il Is not the custom Of Mohamedans in
Persia TO trust their wives in anything, and
they do not speak Of them as "wife,n but
they call her "that thingn
Mr. Nhipple said that it costs to be q
Christian in Persia. The converts from Mo
hammedanism are certain of perse-
cution, aud in every instance
lose all their property. The death
penalty for becoming a christian is
seldom enforced, but it has not been re-
pealed. So bitter is the feeling on the part
OF Mohammedans toward Christians that
they will not eat the same bread or drink
out of the same cup, aud they will not as
sist christian, even if starving
One of the missionaries to Persia
is the Rev. DR.. G. w. Holmes Of Cedar
Rapids, Ia, who since going there has been
made chief physician to the Crown Prince
OF Persia, and his influence with the prince
Is said to be such that the prospects are that
the future shah will be christian.

killing frost here is inevitable
He FIXES the southern limit Of the
| freeing point az about fifty miles
| south OF Jacksonville, and there viii proba-
/ bly be killing frost this morning as far
south as Titusville, and mercury at 50.
Some idea Of the severity Of the cold
wave at southern points may be gathered
/ from the observations taken yesterday
morning st o'clock. At Atlanta il was
To-, and so was the maximum yesterday.
At Augusta, Pensacola and Mobile the
minimum was pa. and maximum at Au-
gusta So and Pensacola ~.
THE COLD IN CAROLINA
At Charleston last night the mercury
dropped 10 %, and $40 was the highest
temperature yesterday. It was g below
the freezing point at New Orleans yester-
day morning. The unusual minimum OF
so is reported from Kew West.
The cold wave has extanded all over the
country, and in the upper Mississippi and
Ohio valleys aud along the lakes mercury
was at zero yes erday morning. A heavy
snow storm prevailed LIST night throughout
the New England states. and IL was snow
ing as far south as Norfolk, where the
mercury was IS yesterday morning. AT
Block Island, at O'Clock last night, the
wind was forty-eight miles an hour No re-
ports were received from Hatteras, as the
lines are down.
THE WAVE TO PASS TO-DAY.
The main force Of the cold wave here will
be broken this morning and it will not be
so cold tonight as it was last night, prob
ably not reaching the freezing point 1t
will be quite cool here for three or four
days, growing slightly warmer each day.
1t will be slightly warmer to-day than yes
terday and clear. The temperature was
rising in the Upper Mississippi valley last
night
The effect Of the cold wave will be to de-
stroy the early vegetable crops all along the
South Atlantic coast. and the South Fl lrida
vegetables will therefore continue to be In
demand until the Savannah vegetables
come in in April Savannah vegetables,
however, will follow them and supply the
market until Charleston and Norfolk begin
to ship, which will necessarily be later.
