The T mole Opera house in Duluth
was we'll filled on last Tuesday evening
by an audience strongly il sympathy
with the workingmen in their demand
for eight hours work per day and ad

addressed by Bishop McGolrick who
made very pathetic plea for the work
ingman.
The Superior Water, Light and Power
company gave contract for quarter OF
million dollars of cast iron pipe to be
used by them this season in the extern

anxious to obtain this contract, but
were under-bid by the home plant.
Hereafter the West Superior Iron 4
Steele company will manifest its strength
throush out the entire Northwest.
On Monday last the coal laborers on
all the docks here and in Duluth quietly
quit work. They decline to work for 40
cents per hour and demand an advance
OF 10 cts. hour. TIE coal companies
have as yet refused to grant the advance
demanded by the man and while no
trouble has yet occurred, the situation
nevertheless becomes more complicated
as time passes. On Tuesday the Ohio
coal company brought few men from
Duluth an put them to work, but the
mon here on learning of this went on to
the dock and soon induced "the imports
to quit and join their ranks. This leaves
the Ohio company on q level with all
other coal c. ,mpanes here and in Duluth,
without single man to load or unload
the boats now waiting at their dock
Public sentiment here as in Duluth is
divided. Some seem to censure the
strikers for going out all, while others
are of the opinion that 40 cts. per hour
for handling coal is not sufficient. There
are but few men, however, who have the
interests of humanity at heart that will
not admit that shorter hours and better
wages are absolutely necessary to enable
our toiling masses to live decently and
support and educate their families in a
proper manner. The great eight hour
movement all over the country is fest
gaining strength and if the lab ring
classes but properly guard their efforts
the victory is certain.

Finch Bugs.

The milk train on the Central railroad
of New Jersey was delayed at White
House station about half an hour one
night last week. The train draws two
passenger coaches behind the milk cars.
On this night there were half dozen
passengers aboard. 1t was warm and
they had the windows all raised. The
train had been standing on the side track
a few minutes when a swarm of large
pinch bugs, attracted by the lightsin the
cars, few through the windows. In five
minutes the seats We're nearly covered
with the bugs, and they had begun to
crawl around on the legs of the passen-
gers and to use their sharp pinchers.
The passengers tried to brush them off,
but they stuck like leeches. In five
minutes more the bugs had possession of
the two cars. The passengers fed. AS
soon as the passengers got in the dark
the bugs that had chung to them left
them and flew back into the lighted car
How to get them out of the car before
the train got orders to 60 ahead was a
problem. Finally one of the passengers
suggested building bonfire outside as a
counter attraction. One Of the brake
men went into the cars and turned out
all the lights, while the other trainmen
and the passengers gathered brush wood
for the bonfire. They had enough to
make a roaring blaze in few minutes.
1t was a success. The bugs deserted
the car and the passengers went back.

An Ancient Newspaper.
From the New York Times.

A quaint old newspaper clipping, il
Illustrative Of journalistic enterprise IN
the good old colonial days, has come to
light in this town. 1t is from the Con-
necticuts Gazette, and bears the date of
July 5, 1865. This paper was the first
esta blished in New Haven colony, and
the first number appeared in 1866, over
hundred years after Connecticut was
entered by the whites. DIR. Franklin
was for time connected with the
Gazette. The clipping in part is IS fol-
lows:
A year is past since the publisher Of
this paper published proposals for re-
viving the Connecticut Gazette. IT'S
needless to- mention the reasons why it
did not appear sooner. A sample of it
is now sent abroad in order to collect a
sufi cient number of subscribers to bare
ly pay the charge for carrying it on.
When such a number appears it shall
be printed weekly and delivered to
subscri bers in town and country at the
rate of pence for each paper, which is
shillings pence for one year. And
no addition will be made in the price
when the stamp act takes effect, if it is
then encouraged so as to be afforded at
that rate.
Subscribers are not desired to engage
Tor any particular time, so that they can
stop it when they please. A special
post is appointed to carry it out of the
common post roads Advertisements
shall be printed at moderate charge,
according to their length.
All kinds of provisions, frewood and
other suitable country produce will be
taken as pay of those who cannot spare
money, if delivered at the printer S
dwelling-house, or at any other place
which may accidentally suit him.
The printer hereby invites the benev-
client of all parties to send him an ac-
count of whatever novelties they think
may be useful to their countrymen.
The shortest hints on some subjects,
however written, will be gracefully re-
ceived and faithfully communicated to
the public, ii convenient.
Besides the help he hopes to receive
from four correspondents in this colony
and elsewhere, the printer has sent for
three sorts of English magazines, the
Monthly Review of New Books, and
one Of the best London newspapers
These, together with American intelli-
gence from Nova Scotia to Georgia, in
elusive, and also from Canada, cannot
fail to furnish him with constant stock
of momentous materials and fresh ad-
vices to fill this gazette Benjamin Me-
Com, at the postofice, New Haven.

Misapplied Pensions.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Mr.. EDIToR:--My brother was a SOL
der in the late war, serving four yeare,
and was prisoner in the Libby Prison.
He contracted disease there from the
bad food, which caused his death some
time afterward. He was married and
had two children. His wife, who had
almost broken his heart before he went
to the war by her bad conduct, forsook
the children, whom [ took home, al
though l had four of my own, and my
husband was only journeyman baker.
When my brother came home he had
no place to go, so my husband took
him IN, and he and both worked for
the whole family, and when my broth
er died we buried him. During all his
sickness she never came to see either
him or her children, nor even after he
was dead.
She then applied for a pension for
herself and the two children, and
got it. She took the children to
live with her, where she lived
with other men, The little daughter of
my poor brother used to come crying to
our house, begging us to take her and
her little brother back. 1t grieved me,
oh so much, to see my brothers little
ones living the life they were, and my
husband, who had respected their father
for all his good qualities, told them to
come back Their mother had no OBJ
lection to this so long as she was permit
ted to draw their pensions for herself,
and worked for those little ones the
same as for nv own, in laundry, which
was very hard work. The son now has
a good trade and is living comfortably
out West The daughter married a
worthy man, who died some two years
AGO. leaving her with three little chill
dren. My home again gave her little
ones and herself a home, as before.
But the mother, who has since married,
by the new pension laws applied for
and obtained several pensions, among
others double allowance of 81 month
from the date Of my brothers death for
the two children, which | had worked
for until they were of the age when it is
stopped. In all she received So, 900, and
kept every dollar of it.
What do the soldiers think of this re-
ward to an unfaithful wife of one OF
their comrades and the mother of his
children?

old silk skirt that needs but little new
lace. We take for granted she has
these. Now for the rest:

1t w i'll be seen that this list embraces
everything that is essential for our
Young lady' IS comfort. You may object
to some of these articles, or may want
more-but for the average this estimate
will answer. These are all supposed to
be good articles for the money-not the
shoddiest or very cheapest in the store,
but neat and respectable; just what our
sensible girl with her good taste would
buy.
When the reporter innocently asked
how much, on the other hand, could be
spent, he was told that the limit was on
ly when the pocketbook was limited.
Some information was given him about
extravagant dressing that was decided
contrast to what has been given
"There is one wealthy lady of Cincin-
natl who has had twenty-seven dresses
made SO far this spring, and each dress
costing from $50 to $50. Another lady,
whose dressmaker works in this store,
leaves a standing order, and when we
receive a particularly fine piece of
goods she Immediately has a dress
therefrom. We know of one lady who
packs eight and ten trunks every spring
with her own dresses only when she
leaves for Saratoga"
The reporter listened open-mouthed
to this recital and when he was further
informed that there was one young lady
in that store who did not spend over
$50 year on dresses, shoes, hats, etc,
he concluded that he had met with the
extremes in the dressing line.

A Very Knotty Problem.
From the New York Tribune.

A missionary in Borneo is confronted
with knotty problem. A native whom
he recently converted to Christianity
kept on INDUCING in the practice of
headhunting, his victims being tribe
of dwarfs in the interior, not much
more intelligent than the brutes. OF
him, but without effect, the native TAX
ton does not belong to the human
family at all, but to the family of apes,
and that their slaughter is therefore
not murder. And the missionary does
not know how to reply to this, for the
beings in question exhibit few of the
characteristics Of human beings.
