CARROLL ID. WRIGHT, the United
States commissioner of labor, estimates
that there were IN the country, in June
last, %, 900, 900 persons of all ages and
conditions engaged in gainful occupa-
tions, and that there are 10000 persons
added each year to the number engaged
in all occupations, for which vacant
places there will next year be 100000
candidates-men, women and children.
He tells those who are about to com
pete for these vacant places to take up
something-smithy, jewelry, printing,
electrotyping, railroading. engineering,
teaching, nography-whatever taste
leads to, and put their whole heart into
learning the art of their work insist
upon making themselves master of their
trade or profession, in order to become
master workmen in whatever calling is
chosen and then the real satisfaction
and the intense enjoyment of a serious
and active life will develop to a wonder
full degree and prove that the best cit :
zenship is found in those who are the
best, most remuneratively and most en-
joyably employed.

THE base ball war has broken out
again in new spot. The warriors of
the diamond are throwing so much
energy into the winter campaign that
it is to be feared they will have none
left when the springtime comes and the
grand stands bloom once more. They
seemed determined to follow the evil
example of the latter, day pugilist, who
fights his battles with the muscles of
his jaw, and allows his biceps to fall
into innocuous desuetude.

Crushed and Bruised.

Wherever the blame lies, the result OF
the carelessness displayed was most
shocking. In the narrow confines of the
dark tunnel one train loaded with pas.
sengers dashed into the rear end of a
storage train.
By a miracle no one was injured on the
crowded passenger coaches. But on the
other train death came in the most hor-
rible form to six poor working people,
car cleaners, bound for their days work
at Mott Haven. They We're MANNED and
crushed under the shattered ruins of the
car in which they were riding, but their
sufferings ON this account were as moth
ing compared with what followed.
Fire broke out among the wreckage
and the helpless creatures were roasted
alive. They could see the flaming
death crawling near them, and could
feel the terrible heat of the fire on their
cheeks for some time before the blaze
reached their pinioned bodies. They
cried out for help in a wild agony of fear
and horror, but their cries could bring
them no succor. Ali around were the
walls of the dingy tunnel, lighted up
now by the hungry fire, which trans
formed the scene into a regular under
ground furnace. Through this mass of
flame raging there no one could venture
to the rescue until the firemen had con-
quered fire with water.

And one is writ SO plain that 1t
Grows brighter still with age.
Oh Washington! Sweet Freedoms SON.
Come Joy or darkest strife,
Each brave heart burns whene'er returns
The day that gave thee life.
Der all the earth men bless thy birth,
And bless the glorious land
For which through pain to vctory's gain
Thou ledst thy ragged band.
But II to-day in stateliest clay
Thy form again vert seen,
Wouldst say God speed" and view indeed
This land with brow serene
AlasI fear although we rear
Great castles to the sun,
The poor that die would grieve the eye
OF gentle Washington.
And should he search through court and church
And dome crowned public pile,
Think you he'd find one patriot blind
To self, and free from guileG
Oh mighty Shade, approach, invade
Once more this captive land,
Lead as OF old thy patriots bold,
Thy heroes true and grand!
Conquer our hearts ere worth departs,
Conquer our greed for gold,
Bring US again the simple men,
The modest ways OF old!

sion between "shop special" and the
New Haven local in the Fourth avenue
tunnel at Saith street at 7:20 a. IN. was
the direct cause of the death of six per-
sons and the manning of three others.
The deadly car stove was the indirect
cause of the fatalities, as it commune
Gated Its fire to the wrecked cars, and
increased the horror of the calamity by
literally roasting to death victims of the
collision. The list of dead and il jured
is as follows:
The Dead and Injured.
The following is a corrected list of the
dead and injured: Dead-John Hancke,
aged 80; Michael Mullane, aged 10; Mrs
Nellie Supple, Mrs. Ellen Fay, John
Murray, aged 40, all of this city, and an
unknown colored man. The injured
William +. Brown, a brakeman, injured
internally; D. NJ. Culbreth, colored cook,
suffering from shock, Engineer Fowler
and Brakeman Lynn, slightly hurt.
Who il to Blame
So far as the details are ascertainable,
the responsibility narrows itself down
between an engineer on the Hartford
road and the operator at the signal sta
tion at 72nd street.
The engineer says that, notwithstand.
ing the fact that train was in the tun-
mel only a few blocks ahead of him, he
was given the signal of "clear track" at
12nd street. In this he is sustained by
his fireman and conductor. The oper-
ator, on the other hand, asserts that the
signal was clearly set at danger" but
that, disregarding this, the engineer ran
by. The trackwalAer confirms this
statement, and the New York Central
officials are inclined to hold the operator
free from any fault on the strength of
an investigation which they made, and
which they claim shows that the en-.
gineer ignored the signals that were
hOiSted

THERE is trouble in the family of Jacob
Young of Pittsburg. Jacob is 81 years
Of age and widower, the undivided
love of whose heart was wrapped up in
his promising son who had turned 23.
Now, Young. jr, like all other men of
enterprise and good Judgment, had
managed to wind his heart strings about
a pretty girl aud spent from five to
seven evenings a week counting her.
The young man was so confident in the
maiden's winning powers that he re-
solved to introduce his best girl to his
father so that his Judgment might be
ratified. 1t was ratified with ven
geance, for no sooner did the old man
become acquainted with his sons best
girl than he began making love to her
with all the vigor as we'll as the fire
and ardor of youth. Young, jr, got on
to the old mans racket and Hacked his
eye. Now old man Young threatens to
disown his son if he doesn't forthwith
give up and surrender his best girl.
JOHN d. RoCKEFELLER'S method of
StStAty 10 oSSSlA'Su ~ WV
Cleveland Plaindealer. 1t says that the
great bulk of his mail is examined by
his private secretary, and only the few
appeals which impresses the later gentle
man favorably are passed along to Mr.
| Rockefeller, who takes a stack of them
| to the break fast table every morning and
distributes them among his children.
These members of his family, says the
Plaindealer, are charged with the duty
of opening the letters and consulting
| their contents. Then each child decides
what shall be done with the application,
and the decision is written upon the
envelope and the name signed for refer
ence if need be. After breakfast Mr.
Rockefeller gathers up the mail and
personally inspects every application
lie weighs the case and then acts as his
conscience dictates. This dictation is
frequently contrary to the decision rem
dered by his child, but that doesn't end
the matter; not at all. The father gathers
the children about him and reviews his
case announcing his decisions, and when
hey conflict with those given by the
children he explains the reason for the
deDarture from the recommendation.

The trouble with all imitators is that
they are apt to overlook the excellencies
and copy the defects. Sensible men adopt
sensible things whether they are native
foreign. The great point is to avoid going
to extremes. Our styles are in good taste
simply because we throw aside the alb
surdities and avail ourselves of the best
ideas wherever we find them. They in
clude nothing that good, sound common
sense will not Immediately approve of
We can fit any shape and size.

succor Came Too Late.

And then it was all over with the i'm
prisoned victims. Fire, smoke and the
crash of the fatal engine had done their
work. The unfortunates had died
shrieking for aid--aid that was only a
few feet away, but from which they
were as effectually barred by the great
walls of brick and stone as if buried a
mile underground in burning coal
mine.
The bodies of the dead and dying were
brought up in the Seth street station of
the railroad, where they were laid out
side by side. The dead were covered
with blankets, while priest and surgeon
administered to the injured. They were
then transferred into the ambulances
and taken to the hospital.

The Engineer Arrested.

Louis c. Fowler, the engineer of the
New Haven train, was arrested and
taken before the coroner, who commit
ted him without bail. Fowler has been
81 years with the railroad and is
sidered careful engineer.
Superintendent Shepard of the New
Haven road says that Fowler
and his fireman reported to him
as soon as possible after the acct
dent. Both claimed that the sign ais
showed clear and that they were the
white lights. Neither of them knew of
the existence of the yard train until their
engine crashed into it.

Among the Mills.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin says {:
The cotton mills seem to be finding profit
able market for their goods. and are fairly
well supplied with orders for stable goods.
No new mills are reported this week, though
considerable building is in progress in the
industry
Print cloths are very low, and some of
the big mills at Fall River should shut
down, but their managers do not think so.
They argue that cotton is very cheap, ana
that by curtailing expenses they can make
both ends meet.
thThe wooden goods situation remains IN
changed as far as the mills ale concerned.
They are generally well employed on light
weight goods and no shut downs, though an
occasional small mill is curtailIng produc-
ton. Three new wooden mills are reported
as to be built and several small knitting
companies have sprung up since our last
issue. The hosiery business is 4 little quiet
at present, and some factories in New York
state and in Philadelphia are running on
short time.
The shoe factories continue to run in
ABOUT the same manner as they have been
doing all summer The work is unevenly
distributed. Better days seem to be in
store for the shoe manufacturers, however.
They will make their collections next
month and, as the crops in the West have
been large, and money is easier, it is eX-
pected that these will be quicker than
heretofore. Then, again, the general de-
mand for boots and shoes is improving, and
work will soon be commenced on spring
goods.
The long list of new paper and pulp mills
IN our manufacturing columns this week
attests the prosperity of that industry. No
less than twelve such enterprises are re-
ported, to say nothing of additions to estab
hshed plants and the starting up of hereto
fore idle mills.
