CHILD LABOR IN NEW YORK
II IL to He Found Chiefly In the Tenements,
Father Huntlnston says.

In a talk upon child labor before the Work
ing Women's Society at Cooper Union last
night, the Rev. Father Huntington. whose
monks gown is so familiar In tho tenement
districts OF this city. said several things Of In
terest about the question in this city. 1T Is q
great mistake" said he. Ito suppose that
child labor has almost ceased because so few
children are seen in tho factories. In many
branches OF manufacturing the employers
have ceased to gather their laborers together
in one building. 1t has been found that rent
may be saved by allowing tho laborers to do
their work at homo.
graded scales Of wages for different employees.
know. for instance. one girl who works at era
vat making. She said that she had found out
that her employers gave one price. and
that the best. to the fresh looking addressed
women who came for work, while the ragged.
worn-looking women got far less for doing ex-
actly the same work. They graded the wages
Many forms of manufacturing have been
arranged SO that they are done in the tenement
rooms Among these tenement-room manu-
facturings may be mentioned artificial hair.
dressmaking. millinery. crayats. rat traps. to:
Iacco. bird cages. furs; feathers. artificial
sewing. aud. buttonhoes. In these Tenement
room factories the children may be worked at
the discretion OF their parents. There arc
certain parts OF nearly all these employments
which may be done by children. And oven
the compulsory school system does not reach
day in school, have TO bend oyer their work
until far into the night. 1t Is almost impossi-
BILE to reach these evils 1t would mean door

Bernhardt In Bostoa.

BOSTON. Jan. 4.-Boston did not give Sarah
Bernhardt very enthusiastic welcome to-
night The fremont Theatre was only COM
fortably filled. and the applause was not really
demonstrative until the play was half over.
Perhaps It was because Theodore" for that
was the opening play. has been given before or
1t may have been because spectators put too
high premium on the seats.
The great actress sustained her reputation
for superb originality. and the character OF the
wicked Empress lost mono OF its abandon or
sensuality through her presentation. AS the
play progressed tho audience could not but be
fhawed BY the fervor Of her loyemaking. and
the third act was genuinely appreciative.
After that the actress was recalled with
every curtain fall. Nine: Bernhardts support
company WAS very satisfactory. There has

New ORLEANS. Jan. 4.-The old trouble over
the color question in the Grand Army OF the
Republic has broken out hero afresh. and
threatens to cause dissolution OF all tho
white posts in the district. which includes tho
States Of Louisiana and Mississippi.
The last national encampment of the Grand
Army recognized the colored posts composed
exclusively OF negroes as legitimate and reg
ular ones. A few days ago Capt. Hedges. dis
trict commander. was notified Of this decision.
and the white posts were called upon to roo.
ognize tho full equality and fellowship Of
and discussed the, matter at length. and de-
cided by All overwhelming majority that they
would not accept tho negroes on terms Of
equality under any circumstance. but
IN .,preferenee. This will be done
Feb. 10. when most OF the white mem
bers Of the Grand Army will retire. II is
thought that a minority OF the eight will re-
main to prevent forfeiture Of the charters OF
the posts. in which cnse the posts will be
probably thrown open to negroes.
