Dscharging a man for any cause is a
duty that most employers dislike To get
around the disagrceable part of this obi
cation some men resort to subterfuge more
or less amable. For instance, certain
London firm had letter form which it
always used whan this discharging had to
be done Here 1t is
Dear Sir-We regret that the conditions
of our business will not permit us to avail
ourselves of your valuable services after
next Saturday"
Another large employer of labor told me
he never discharged an employee.
"Whdt, nevcr2' asked.
Never" h. repeated. II always ask n
man to resign, and if be doesn't resign |
resign from the place of paymaster."
That reminded me of foreman in Il
factory who was so soft hearted that h.
never could bring himself to dismiss a
man in so many words. When it became
necessary to get rid of a hand he used to
send for tie victim and address him thus:
Pm sorry, William, but lays you oil
for awhile"
How long for?" is the usual question.

CHAPTER V.

Thinkers Reach, as most people know,
is very popular summer resort on the
Atlantic seacoast. 1t possesses the ad-
vantageS both of rhe ocean and the cOun-
try. There are beautiful drives III its
vicinity valiegated by mountain peaks,
ponds almost large enough to he classcd
rs lakes, and extensive woods where one
or more readily two-may be lost with
ease. On the other hand, the harbor is
adapted to all sorts OF craft, from the
two hundred ton yacht to the bark
canoe; and for those who prefer looking
at tho waves so riding over them there
are superb rocks to sit upon and clam
Der over, which abound IN eyries for the
retiring and caves for the curious. Alto
gether it is a delightful place.
1t takes its name, not as might be sup
posed from one of the aborigines, but
from a small variety Of mac kerel known
to fishermen as thinkers which used to
be seined off tine main headlaud in large
Quantities. Originally d primitive settle
ment, fashionable patronage had dotted
the shore with large hotels and snowy
villas, which at this period were less
numerous than at present,
Soon after my arrival received note
from Mr. Dale announcing that he
would be able to get away from the city
by the end of the week. The receipt of
this inissive thrilled me with joy, but |
felt that proper sentiments obliged me
to tel my Aunt Helen. 1t would scarce
ly be- honorable to carry on an affair Of
which she disapproved while enjoying
her hospitality and under her protection.
Besides, was not without hopes of win
ming her over TO my side. She had al
ways been the one to whom | had gone
for sympathy, and her desertion in TINS
case made me feel sadly the need of an
ally. So | said " her one evening:

The Labor Situation In New Orleans

Fifteen Hundred Men ut the American

E1v ORLEANS, Nov. 4.-The strike

leaders assert that there Is II probability,

were disappointed at the result of their
meeting in conference with commit
tee Of the merchants. The amalga-
mated council leaders were i'm session

to work. The question of calling gem
eral strike was put in the hands Of q
committe of five with full power to act.
A member uf that committee said that
unless the merchants exhibit dis
position to settle the troubles all
union men in the city will 60
ont. Such an order would include the
electric light men and probably put the
city in darkness. The merchants met
and decided TO confer no further with
the laborers until the men who are now
ont go back to work in their old places.
Fifteen hundred men who quit the
American Sugar Trust works are still
out. The refinery people have not

One Regarding Rights OF United !
States Marshals at Polls.
They Not Only May Be Present Within
the Rails at the Polling
Places,
But May Also Call Upon All Organized
Military Bodies to Enforce Their
Mandates.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.--Solicitor Gem
eral Aldrich. acting attorney general, In
formal and sweeping opinion just
rendered as to the employment of
United States marshals and supervisors
at the polls, rules, in addition to the
points previously covered as to the
rights of those officers to be present
within the rails at the polling places,
and that the marshals also have the
right to summon the sheriff's posse
comitatus to assist them and also to caIl
upon all organized military bodies for
the same purpose.
The attorney general says that the
alleged instructions. issued in New
York, Arkansas and Alabama, bring
the state officers issuing them under the
provisions of the United States laws az
to conspiracy to obstruct.

THE ELGLIsH WRECK.
20 Was Caased by the Overworking of
Railway Employees.

IL Was Caased by the overworking of
Railway Employees.
LONDON Nov. 4.--Throughout the
night men were working upon the debris
Of the express and goods trains that col
lided near Thirsk. The tender OF the
sxpress has not been lifted from the
wreckage. Ii 10 expected that when 1t
Is removed several bodies win be found
beneath it. Tie signal man, Holmes,
who is held responsible for the disaster,
shows signs of mental arrangement.
Much sympathy is expressed for him
and there are not few people who de-
clare that the station master 10 the one
really responsible for the wreck.
Holmes had passed Tuesday night at
the bedside of his dying child. After
the death OF the child he asked the sta
tion master for leave Of absence, but
his request was refused, and he was
compelled to take his place at the
signals. Physically worn out by the
fatigue of his sick bed vigils, and tired
mentally, he fell asleep and thus precip.
ttated the wreck
The accident gives special interest to
the evidence Of the witnesses testify ing
as to railway management before the
royal labor commission. The men assert
that they are overworked, while the
railway officials testify that it is impos-
sible to work the traffic Of their lines in
q fixed schedule of ten hours.
Another lesson taught by the accident
is the superiority Of the American car
over the English car. In collision the
latter collapse like egg boxes.

tinued the man who twice has made
Harrison the candidate of his party,
''has been apparent only. The immense

only conservative conviction, and con-
servatism is republicanism in this cam
paign. The confidence of the Repub-
lican managers in Indiana has increased
wonderfully in the last two weeks,
according to my advices, and I have no
doubt at all that Harrison will carry the
state. The manufacturing interests
Of New York. New Jersey and
Connecticut are proportionately
stronger than in the West, and those
interests are unquestionably opposed TO
a change yet. / believe General Harri-
son will be triumphantly reelected on

No American campaign since the war
has attracted SO little interest among
Englishmen and among Americans in
Europe. There has been little betting
in the last day or two, most fof it even
money, with occasionally slight odds in
favor Of Harrison.
