BY using sail-cloth, polished sticks and
nickel rings, you may increase the cost, but
the kind | have described will answer all
practical purposes. The main thing to bear
In mind Is to have the sails as light as can be
made consistent with strength.
In using the sail, 1t must be held In t.upt
of the body, as closely as possible. The
easiest and quickest way to lsarn how to
handle the sail Is to make ole and practice
with 1t until you become an expert. Choose
a day with a light Greece, otherwise you may
get an awkward tumble. In q short time

= The only difficulty is In coming to a stop.
10 light wind the sail may be tossed TO ona
side on the Ice, and then recovered and reefed
at leisure. Be CAREFUL not to drop 1t In
front OF you, or you may stumble over 1t and
break limb.
In case Of brisk wind 1t Is better to hold
the centre stick across one arm, and unlock
the inner ends Of the sails. taking a half
reef as IL were.
All these expedIents, however. will readily
suggest themselves to a bright boy.

Moro Money to Be Given for Missions

The Congregational Club, composed of
the pastors of the Congregational churches
in this city and vicinity, met yesterday in
7. Nj. c. A. Hall to discuss the recently held
simultaneous mission meetings" 1t ap-
peared from the testimony of the reverend
gentlemen, most of whom had attended one
or more of these meetings, that the attend
ance had been rather small but that a spirit
OF fellowship had been born which might be
proftably TO stored.
Rev. j. Harris introduced a japanese
named Myoshi. who has been to Europe as
an emissary of the Mix ado charged with the
task of securing notifications of existing
treaties between the European States and
Japan. Mr. Harris Interpreted the short ad-
dress which he delivered, in which he stated
that he was a member of the Congregational
Church, and saw with keen delight the
progress it is making.

Mr.. Scudder contrasted the amounts
which are spent by the people of the United

mated that ii would be well to give much

latter.
AT the next meeting committee will be
appointed to secure more commodious

LABOR AND SERVICE"
A Pertinent hint to Capital by n Meth,
dist Minister.

n cItsnent lint TO capital by n Metho-
dist Minister.
An interesting essay on Labor and Ser
vice" WAS read by Rev. DR.. Robert Bentley,
Presiding Elder of Oakland District, yester-
day before the meeting of Methodist Minis
tiers at Central NJ. Z. Church.
The doctor first referred to the different
conditions that surround human beings and
brutes upon coming into the world. Nature
takes care of the latter and provides every
thing, while with man it is different. He
must toll almost from the cradle to the
grave. and 1t will never do to sit idly down
In the belief that the world owes every man
living. Glory is the crown of industry:
ldleness never won a laurel
Discussing labor differences DR.. Bentley
expressed the belief That in all troubles be-
tween capital and labor. capital should make
the first concessions Labor would quickly
follow the good example, and trouble would
ploye ought to get closer to each other.
There never can be solution of the labor
problems until the chasm between master
and man is closed. The immigration ques-
tion is an important matter that must be
settled before there can be an end to strikes.
The tendency of the American laborer to
drink whisky is in DR.. Bentley's mind the
principal reason why the farmer demands
foreign labor. The young men of America
should be made to understand this.
The doctors sentiments were discussed at
length and very generally indorSed
Bishop Fowler spoke on the question of
immigration. He said foreigners were all
right as iaborers or equals, but were a rank
failure as superiors. He had never known
church in this county to succeed with a
loreign element i'll the ascendancy in its

Beatty has been appointed pastor OF the

TOO LATE FOR THE BOAT,

How Belated Passengers Act at the
Ferry-Landing.
a student OF human nature cannot find a
better field for observation than the ferry-
landing at the foot of Market street. This
is true of any hour OF the day, but more par
ticularly at the time bu at is about to leave.
Five minutes before each boat leaves a
warning pell is rung, and intending passen-
gers, who hear it away up Market street,
commence to get move on" to be in time
The moment boat is timed to leave an
electric bell rings, the ticket-takers slam to
the doors, and there is always number even
then running down the passage-way, Just in
time to be too late.
There are two entrances to the outer
waitiDg-room, and it is not until passenger
passes through them that he can see
whether the inner door leading to the boat
Is closed and tile boat gone or not. When
the door Is closed, the fun commences Last
night when the o'clock boat steamed out
thirteen passengers were left, and all had
run until they were out of breath, A fat
man grunted and then sat down and wiped
the perspiratlon off his forehead. A man
VINO followed him Strengthened up as soon
as ne saw me door was closed and walked
nonchaiantly and slowly down the room as
much as to say, Il wasn't going on that boat
anyhow" He was followed by man who
came tearing along and looked blankly at
the closed door and then said, ''---
- A young lazy, who came next looked
at him approyingiy, as much as to say,
Ihem's my sentiments" The next two
men looked at their watches and assured
everybody that the boat had left minute
and half ahead OF time. Then all hands
sat down by the stove to wait for the next
boat, and looked at one another with an
expression that the man doubled m with
the cholera morbus in the hospital had
when he glanced at the man writing with
innammatory rheumatism, an expression
that seemed to say. THANK goodness, you're
lelt as bad as l am" Misery does like

THE WAGE-WORKERS.
Puzzling Action of the American
Labor Federation.
Officers Elected by the Striking Iron Moldsrs

tory-Efter the "Arbeiter zaituug"

A telegram from Detroit announcing that
the American Federation of Labor had sus-
pended the Trades and Labor Council Of
California" until the subordinate union had
paid its assessment, was read and discussed
at a meeting Of the Executive Committee of
the Council of Federated Trades yesterday.
The dispatch could not rightly be inter
preted, as the only body ON the Coast that
could be classed as the Labor Council of
California is the Council of Federated
Trades. which has paid all dues to the
American Federation up to January l, 1891
A telegram was sent to President Gompers
asking him to give an explanation of the
affair.
Some of the committee thought the dis
patch mistake owing to the confusion of
names, while others believe the national
body is trying to compel some local union to
pay its dues by making the council here
compel the union to pay up its assessment.

WHEEL VERSUS WHEEL.
A Unique Contest Between a Bfcycl
md n Skater,

A Unique Contest Between Bicycler
and Skater.
There was big crowd of roller-skaters
and bicyclists at the Pavilion last night to
witness the race between w. S. Maltby of
Connecticut and A. w. Ridgely of this city.
Maltby can cut more capers on wheel and
make it go with greater velocity than most
men. He isn't particular as to the manner
in which he uses it. Sometimes he spins
around on the big wheel, and sometimes he
amuses himself by getting upon small
table and whirling around ON the little
wheel. Ridgely is a veteran ON the rollers,
and in the race showed that he was more
than match for the wheelman.
They started at $50 o'clock to cover the
eight laps which make mile in the rink.
1t was Maltby's first race with a skater, and
he made use of all the strength and agility
in his 1.-THE body. For the first four laps he
was ahead of mis- competitor. and Ridgely.
seeing that the race was going against him,
began to spirit and at the end of the sixth
lap had placed nine or ten feet between him
aud the bicycler, and this he maintained
until the end. The race was run in four
minutes twenty-eight and One-quarter sec
Onds.
