NOTES FROM THE TRADES.

Cigarmakers say it is impossible to find en-
ployment here; that the only work being done
is done by the bosses. They, like the brewery
workmen, attribute the cause 10 the importation
of cigars from districts where labor is cheaper,
and not 10 a falling off in trade. They are
making on BRAID of Mexican cigars they
say comes from Texas. and bears no union label.
But few sfone-cutters are employed In the city
al present Yet there are but few idle members
OF the craft here. They have gone away accord
ing as the chances Of securing employment be-
come less, SO that the remaining ones find fairly
steady work.
The sailors report marine work very dull, and
more men on shore here now than there were
during the trouble at the coal mines even But
steamshipmen report work fair.
Brewery workmen report work unusually
slack. Several men have been laid of. They
attribute ii to the increased amountof Eastern
beer being shipped in here
Shipwrights have not been very steadily en-
ployed this season. Still, compared with other
trades, there has been fair amount of work
done, mostly repairing.
The Iron Moulders' Union held a well-at-
tended meeting Saturday night Work in the
trade is reported 10 be falling off again.
Carpenters and painters report work fair, but
prospects not very bright for work during the
winter months.
Brck-layers are fairly well employed, though
the number in the city is much less than it was
in the spring.
'Longshoremen had dull week. But few YES
sells were loaded, and fewer arrived.

UNION MATTERS.

The features of the trouble between the
Whart-builders' and Pile-drivers' Union
and Watson Allen, of the Allen & Nelson
Mill Company, remain unchanged. Mr..
Allen remains firm, and though the result
of the interview of the committee from the
Western Central executive committee
with III. III. Dearborn, on whose property
the work is being done, and also with the
proprietors of the Montana stables who
are said to have leased she building. has
not been made public, it is evident that il
is having no effect on Mr.. Allen. as he
continues with the work. Some new de-
velopments may be expected when the
central body meets Wednesday evening.
The Bakers Union has reinstated some
OF the men who were expelled for violating
the rules of the union and returning to
night work in the California bakery. The
expelled men threatened to organize an
opposition union, hut il is probable they
viii all he reinstated and the trouble set
tied. Their action was the means of re-
turning all the bakeries To the night work
system, the system against which the
long strike was won by the union last
winter.
1t is said that the White Cooks and
Waters Union has applied for a charter
as A local assembly of the Knights Of
Labor. 1t is evident from the sentiment
OF the delegates in the Western Central
Labor Union that the Cooks and Walters,
Union will be expelled unless il rays the
tl66 demanded by the central bo3v ON
account OF the Labar day picnic shortage
II has so far refused TO admit the Justice of
the claim.

NJ. G. Sullivan, manager of Thiel's de-
tective agency, is just now exerting HIM
self to push his business. During the last
few days many of the leading business
men of this city have received circulars in
envelopes marked personal, calling atten-
ton to the great service which this agency
can do them. Among the paragraphs de-
scTibing what are termed ''the special feat
ures of the business" and which are of
peculiar public interest, are the following:

while Miss Robins again made a notable
success. This must be gratifying to Amer
leans, because Bhe, too, is an American,
and she promises to be one of the greatest
of contemporary actresses. Although her
two most notable triumphs have been won
in London, Miss Robins is remembered by
many as having done creditable work in
her native land.
She used to be a member of the Boston
Museum company, having belonged to
that admirable organization in 1Ss4-5, when
1t supported Mr.. Booth. She also appeared
for a time in Mr.. James O'Neil's compa-
ny. She is a very beautiful woman and a
woman OF great mental power and many
accomplishments. Her whole life and en-.
ergies she devotes to her work, which
doubtless explains her success. While at
the Boston Museum she learned to love
and married a member of the same com
pany named George r. Parks. A lasting
shadow was cast over her life when he, not
long a~fterward, killed himself while tenn
porarily insane.

burg, Is the oldest pitcher at present twirl-
ing the ball. He has a record that any
player would be proud of. In 1875 Keefe
made his first hit at Lewiston, Me. The
next year he played in Boston. and after
several years of good work Joined the Met
ropolitans at New York in 1888. In that
and several following years Keefe was
without doub the greatest living pitcher.
In 1884 he practically won the American
association championship for his club and
in 1888 n 1889 did much to help the New
York League club carry home the flag.
He had perfect command of The ball and
for speed and strategy-head work as 1t is
called-he had no equal. A batsman never
knew what sort of a ball was coming.
When the Players league movement
started Keefe was one of it's shining lights.
The experience cost him considerable
money and his position with the New
Yorks as well, his friends say. After
Keefe signed with Philadelphia toward the
close of the season of 1891 his work in the
few games he pitched was not remarkable
yet he managed to very cleverly defeat his
former fellow players in one game between
New York and Philadelphia. Whether
the claim is true or not that he is a back
number can only be proved next season
after he has had a fair chance tc show
what he can do.

PITCHER TIM

Career of the Famous Player Who Re-
Gently Left the Giants
Few baseball players attracted more at
tention toward the close of the baseball
season than Timothy j. Keefe, the old New
York player, whose release by the Giants
and whose subsequent retention by the
Philadelphia club caused so much gossip
In baseball circles. Keefe's enemies claimed
that he was getting old for a pitcher, and
that his arm had lost its cunning. Keefe's
friends, on the other hand, said that his
release was the result OF u deliberate plot
on the part of business and personal en-,
emies to professionally kill the great
pitcher.
Keefe is thirty-two years OF age and an
old timer in the baseball world. He has
been playing good professional ball at least
sixteen years, and next to Calvin, of Pitts
