Since the loss of lives on the coast
of New Jersey at the time of the recent
great storm there has been An agita-
ton in the seaport towns and summer
resorts along that coast in favor OF an
extension of the time of employment
of the men in the United States Life
Saving Service. Four seamen OF tho
wrecked schooner Mary F. Kelly were
drowned at Asbury Park, for instance,
within thirty feet of the shore, while
hundreds of people stood on the beach
unable to help them. Twenty-four
seamen were drowned off the New Jer-
sey coast in range OF ten miles where
there were then four unoccupied llie-
saving stations. The life-saving crews
are discharged ON May l, and do not
get employment again until September
l. It is argued that violent storms
occur in August, and that the hfe-saV-
ing crews at least should be employed
from the beginning of that month.

To THE PUBLIC-We. the operatives OF OIL

understanding with regard to our position,
would submit the following: There has
been concerted action on the part Of the
manufacturers unprecedented In the history
Of the textile industry, in which they have
posted schedule Of wages impossible for at
least the heads OF families to accept, II they
would bring their children to the standard to
which the free-born American citizen hopes
10 see his offspring nttain; and since the
nianufactu rers have justified this act by the cry
that the present state Of the market warrants
IT, We wish to inform the manufacturers that
we committee chosen by the executive
board, stand ready to meet them and discuss
some features pertaining TO the present diffi-
Guilty, to the end that We may arrive at an
amicable settlement
Hoping that this statement will entirely re-
move any false impression that has gone
abroad, We remain respectfully, the COM
mittee,
RICHARD McGUY, Chairman.

A Mexican paper predicts an I'M
mense invasion of that country 10y
American tourists this winter, and
SAYS that the railroads are already pre-
pairing to handle the expected throng.
1t thinks that the prevalence of
cholera in Europe is sure to thin out
the ranks of tourists thither, and
that they must have somewhere to go
to escape the winters cold. "Ihe
prediction" adds the New Orleans
Picsyune, "seems to be founded on
reason, and the same causes will doubt
less contribute to swell the number
who will seek the delightful climate OF
our own State and of the Mississippi
coast. We may prepare fora specially
large invasion this winter"

Swan Until She Was Taken TO the

from starvation in one of the most thlrklN
populated districts Of New York city. Very
little is known Of the young woman by either

Morn Kennedy, the janitress of the house,
discovered that Miss Swan was very Ill, ana
too feeble to arise from her miserable couch
In the attic. Mrs. Kennedy tried to learn the
nature OF her illness, but the young woman
was either too i'll or too proud to make any
statement. As nobody suspected that the
unfortunate woman might he starving, no
nourishment was offered her
A few hours later the police were informed,
and in the evening an ambulance took the
woman to Wards Island ferry, aud thence to
the Charity Hospital. She was so weak that
she had to be carried from the room ON
stretcher. and she could neither speak, nor
move her hands or feet.
The physicians at the Charity Hospital
nromptly diagnosed her ailment as starva-
lion. and made every effort to save her
life. but the patient never revived sufficient
Iy to tell the attendants her story. Slx
hours after reaching the hospital she passed
AWAY. unconscious, the physicians say, OF the
main which must have rarked her frail body.
The woman was apparently about 80 years
old. She went 437 SD street little more
than week ago and paid II for ten days
rent of the attic chamber.

A keeper at the London Geological
Gardens WAS employed on account of
his supposed fondness for animals. He
WAS soon found to be disliked by the
animals, who exhibited their aversion
in many ways. 1t was suspected that
while outwardly treating them with
kindness he must secretly hurt or an
noy them. He denied having done
anything of the sort, and his general
manner seemed to bear out his prOtcs-
tations. A watch was set upon him,
with a curious result. 1t appeared
that he never spoke to the animals,
and for that reason alone his presence
was intolerable.

Statutes of Indiana which contained
the Constitution Of the United States
and the Declaration Of Independence" :"
said the Rev. f. NJ. Munson. "This
Book, Bible and Bunyan's Pilgrims
Progress completed his library, and he
mastered them so well that his education
formed on this foundation was sufficient
to carry him to the Presidency. In
his younger days Lincoln made three
trips to New Orleans with a friend
named John Hanks, and its was during
these visits that he became aroused re
garding the slavery question Turning
to his friend once he said; Hanks, that
is all wrong, and if | ever get chance
