the race goers from the lakes to the

the past five years, and has won
"his weight in gold," and always
been ready and willing to do all in
his power, regardless of the track,
from a half mile to a mile regula-

his record. In fact, the effort has
been to keep him in the 2:30 class,

THE SWEAT SHOP.
A Striking Example Of 1t Found in
the Western Metropolis.

Major Joseph Kirkland in July Scribner.
The sweat-shop is place where,
separate from the tailor shop or
clothing-warehouse, C sweater !"
(middleman) assemblies journey
men tailors and needlewomen, to
work under his supervision. He
takes a cheap room outside the dear
and crowded business center, and
within the neighborhood where the
work people live. Thus is rent
saved to the employer and time and
travel to the employed. The men
can and do work more hours than
was possible under the centralized
system, and their wives and child
rem can help, especially when, as is
often done, the garments are taken
home to finish" Even the very
young can pull out basting-threads. ]
This "finishing" is what remains
undone after the machine has done
its work, and consists of ''felling"
the waist and legends Of trousers
(paid at one and one-half cents a
pair), and, in short, all the "fell-
ing" necessary on every garment OF
any kind. For this service, at the
prices paid, they cannot earn more
than from twenty-five to sorty cents
a day, and the work is largely done
| by Italian, Polish and Bohemian
women and girls. The entire num-
ber of persons employed in these
vocations may be stated at 5000
men, of whom 500 are Jews, and
from 10000 to $4,000 women and
children. The wages are reckoned
by "piecework, - and (outside the
''finishing'') run about as follows:
Girls, hand sewers, earn nothing
for the first month, then as unskill-
ed workers they get 81 to 81 30 a
week, So a week, and Gas skilled
workers) $6 week. The first
named class constitutes so per cent.
of all, the second 80 per cent. and
the last 90 per cent. In the general
work men are only employed to do
button-holing and pressing, and
their earnings are, as follows:
"Pressers," IS to $12 week;
"under-pressers," 81 to 81. Cloak
operators earn $S to $12 week.
Four-ffths of the sewing machines
are furnished by the Sweaters"

he is. Previous to 1881 he had
started in about 60 races and won
about 4S, and at the end of each
season I would think this would
surely be the last year for the old
gelding, but instead of that he would
bob up serenely early next spring,
and even do better than the preced-
ing year. He took record OF
2:19A at San Francisco October
Goth, 1887, and since that has been
in all the principal events in the
country in the 2:20 and free-for-all
classes. Last year he was reported
dead, and it was SO reported in al
most all the turf papers, and I, of
course, was of that opinion, and you
can imagine my surprise by seeing
''his ghost' hugging the pole and
wiping up the earth with Ashland

COUNTED FOR STONE.
The Nevada Mo.) Maif Giles seme
Facts About the Contest.
From the Nevada tMo.) Mail.

The state politics man on the Re-
public goes a long way from the truth
to place Dalton in the lead in the
gubernatorial race. He gives table
showing the counties supposed to
have selected delegates-73 counties
including the city of St. Louis. This
count gives Dalton 141, Stone 1856,
Gibson SO, Yeaman 29, Claycomb 12.
In order to do this he is compell-
ed to do considerable juggling at
the expense of actual facts.
Here is the way he goes at it: He
gives the three votes in Atchison
county to Yeaman, when in fact
they are for Stone.
He divides the Barton county vote
equally between Stone, Gibson, Dal-
ton and Claycomb In fact all four
of these delegates are for Stone.
Butler county, with its two votes
for Stone is omitted from the list.
He divides the Caldwell county
vote between Dalton, Stone and Glib
son. In fact these three votes are
solid for Stone.
He omits Cape Girardeau county,
Its four votes are for Stone.
He takes three votes from Stone
in Charlton and gives Dalton two
and Gibson one. The seven vote.
there are for Stone.
He omits Christian county whose
two votes are for Stone.
He omits DeKalb county whose
three votes are for Stone.
He omits Douglas county whose
one vote is for stone.
He omits Greene county whose
eight votes are for Stone.
He omits Grundy county whose
three votes are for Stone.
He omits Holt county whose three
votes are for Stone.
He divides Lafayette-Dalton 3,
Stone 4 and Gibson l.. In fact il
should be Stone 7 and Gibson 1.
He divides Lewis county equally
between the five candidates, while
the entire delegation is for Stone.
Livingston is omitted. Its four
delegates are for Stone.
Mcdonald is omitted. Its two
votes are for Stone.
He divides Morgan between Stone,
Dalton and Yeaman. The three
votes there are for Stone.
He omits Newton county. Its
four votes are for Stone.
Platt is omitted from the list.
Its five votes are for Stone.
He divides Saline-2 for Dalton,
2 for Stone, and 1 for each of the
other candidates. The seven votes
there are for Stone.
Sullivan county is omitted. Its
four votes are for Stone.
Stone county is omitted. Its one
vote is for Stone.
Taney county is omitted. Its one
vote is for Stone.
He omits Texas county. Its four
votes are for Stone.
Webster county is omitted. Its
three votes are for Stone.
This is the way the st. Louis Re-
public man iuggles with facts to
place its favorite in the lead. 1t is
not fair for a metropolitan party pa
per to engage in this kind of work.
But it does it, just the same, at the
expense of truth and its own reputa.
