OFTEN STEALING.

Sometime ago | visited with Il friend
Canning Town, and found scores of families
of gypsies and other vagabond travellers
living in a state that would shock the most
filthy and degraded heather. More than
thirty children of school age clustered
around US, not one of whom could tell let
ter In two small. four-rOomed cottages,
into which the gypsies and travellers had
crept for few months in the winter, there
dwelt, or pigged, seventeen families of men,
women and children. Others were squat
ting about in filthy wigwams among the
slush, filth, rags and straw.
Among these folk, on the outskirts of
London, in one wigwam l have seen a poor
woman dying; in another man who had
taken to gipsying was gasping for breath ::
in another tent woman was at death 5
door, and at another abode of death. into
which had to creep on all tours, there sat
at the entrance, upon a brick in the mud, a
poor lost present-day gypsy girl of seven
years of age, but no heavier than a child Of
one year. Its legs were no thicker than
drumsticks. 1t could neither stand sing,
speak, cry nor hear.
''At a 'crow-pie' feast near Rugby l saw
in five vans fifteen children, two of whom
could only read or write a little. During

was met At YOung'- hotel yesterday,
and IN the course of a conversation
remarked that he had enjoyed more
than four months absolute rest, some
thing he had not had IN many long
years before. He said il was nearly a

Blaine spoke Of tbe political situa-

Blaine met a delegation from he
Merchants association, and talked
with them quite freely and fully on

conditional promise to speak thereon
in Boston some time during the COM

with the statement that he did no,

The capmaking Industry.

Capmakers are a fairly well paid
class OF workmen- The trade is mi
nutely subdivided. One man cuts the
material. another sews the peak, an
other blocks the crown, another sews
the sides, and still another presses the
seams. while the small finishing touches.
such as cord and tassel, are given by
girls Work is done by the piece, and
capmakers earn from fifty cents to two
dollars per dozen caps. The most skill
ful men in busy seasons earn as high es
thirty dollars week. and occasionally
men have been known to earn fifty
dollars per week.
Wages however may run down TO ten
dollars a week or less. The season for
making winter caps begins in April and
ends in October. Then comes a hull
and in November begins the season for
making summer caps. About three
quarters Of the work is done between
April and October.
Materials are as varied as forms
Silks velvets and cassimeres are some.
Among the most expensive caps are
those made for yachtsmen and for
naval officers The bullion embroid-
cry adds considerably 70 the cost Of
such caps. Much of this is Imported.
but some Of it is made by girls. who
work together in small shops or at
home, earning from six TO fourteen dol
lars per week II is one Of the prettiest

to assume an easier position. At the first
movement the grizzly, roaring furlously,
rushed at him. She showed her nose close
to his face and smiled at him, but Wood
was again motionless, and the bear, raising
her head, gave vent to unearthly screams.
Wood, knowing that his life depended on
it, remained I~notionless. and in a few no
ments the bear trottea after her compan-
ions up the ravine.
When he attempted to rise Wood found
that his right hip was dislocated and the
left shoulder was chewed to the bone, while
his clothing had been stripped from his
body and his flesh had been chawed in a
hundred places. Inch by inch he painfully
dragged himself from the spot until Sea-
bring and Wilson, accompanied by David
A. Buck, the latter of whom had been left
to guard the camp. found him and carried
him to their quarters.
At this spot the party remained twelve
days, subsisting on the meat of the bear
that had been killed. They were lost in the
mountains, but finally Wood. despite his
agony, insisted upon being tied to a horse
and accompanying his friends on their
search for a path to civilization. During
the ten days that followed every step by
the horse that Wood rode caused unspeak-
able torture to the rider, but Wood bore it
like a martyr and an occasional q oan was
all the complaint that escaped his lips.
Finally they found a road out of the
mountains and reached the farm of Mrs.
Mark West, thirty miles fiom Sonoma,
where Wood WAS cared for, and in six weeks
was able to join his frisndS in San Fran
cisco.
The injuries inflicted by the grizzlies
made Wood a cripple for life AM eventually
were the cause of his death, and it was his
Son who told in the Russ house a few days
ago OF his fight with the grizzlies.
