A HARMONIOUS SITUATION.
The Eight-Hour Day and the Building
Trades in This City.

The Eight-Hour Day and the Building
Trades in This City.
Perhaps there has never been q season when
the relations between employers and the
employed, especially in the building trades,
were more harmonious than the present.
The work day Of eight hours is practi-
cally observed in all the building trades.
and this condition has been brought about with
out any friction between the two parties in in
terest. On the LIST Of April the plasterers be-
gan to work eight hours and on the first Mon
day in May the carpenters followed suit.
the bosses as represented in the build
ders' exchange deciding in favor of the eight
hour day for those trades where it was not
already in operation. In a number of cases
the painters employed are given the eight
hours. The plumbers and timers do not
have as yet the shorter day. but in instances
where the eight-hour workmen are engaged on
building the same hours sre made to apply to
all the trades.
Tho stonecutters work eight hours, but
recently they have asked the bosses to make
the payments OF wages at regular intervals,
and at meeting of tue men on Saturday night
it was reported that this request had been
granted The stonemasons employed on the
new city post Office last week called the atten-
ton of the Treasury Department to the employ
ment of aliens on that work, and the position
was taken that as these men were paid a
less rate than the union men that the
contractor was enabled to evade the eight-hour
law. A reply WIS received from the supervising
architect of the treasury stating that the
request had been forwarded to the contractor
with certain recommendation.

In one OF the Oldest castles OF north
crn England visitors are shown two
rooms which are connected with
each othor by II singular mechanism.
Each room is adioined by an alcove,
used as sleeping apartment, and
the floors of the adjoining alcovcs
turn on pivot in the center OF the
partition wall. This ingenious de-
vice was the invention OF one of the
ancestors of the present proprietor,
who was somewhat of Il wag and
found great pleasure in frightening
and my stifying his guests. When one
had gone to bed in the green room
and the other in the blue room the
ioors were turned on their pivots,
and on Weakening the visitor found
himself in strange quarters, with
clothes that were not his own. 1t is
said that this fun-loving lord lost
rich inheritance by thus disturbing
the restful moments of wealthy
aunt, who never forgave the trici
her nephew played upon her.

toforc Known.
About fifteen miles north OF Lewiston, Mon
tana, and two miles from the Gilt Edge mine,
there has been discovered cave similar TO
none known In the United States, The dis
covery was made by Charles Kelly, n pros
pcctor. About week later a party Of six,
equipped with miners lamps, axes, picks,
ropes and overcoats, visited the curious cave
for the purpose of exploration. The party
reached the entrance Of the cave about 10
o'clock in the morning and Immediately be-
gan their investigation.
The mouth is an irregular cruylcc In the
sloplng ledge. For u distance of about 100
feet the bottom is almost level, and the ere
vice widcns gradually to depth Of nearly 80
feet. Then there is an incline of about TWEEN
ty degrees for distance of nifty yards. Here,
instead of rocky floor n solid body OF Ice
was found. Fifteen minutes of hard work
with the axes and picks showed that the Ice
was solid 10 depth of more than TWO feet.
The party continued their journey for
about quarters OF mile from the en-
trance till the winding avenues and rooms
N adc Il hazardous TO proceed farther, the
danger OF losing their way back TO daylight
being imminent owing To the fact that com
pass carried by one of the party had become
useless on account of being affected by vast
deposits of iron in the walls OF The cave,
Much difficulty would have been experienced
In returning only for the fOrcthought Of
member OF the party who marked the route
taken by strokes of an axe.
Tho width OF the cave varies at different
points from % to 300 or 400 feet and the roof
at some points reaches within four feet OF the
Ice and In many places so high that 1t could
not be seen by the light given out by ehe
lamps carried by the explorers. At no point
In the cave was amy water found, only an oc-
