Newspaper workers In chicago.

= Some time ago we took occasion to
warn newspaper writers against the
folly of coming to Chicago in the hope
of finding employment here. We regret
that the warning has been neglected by
very many. This city has been overrun
for several months by reporters Cboth
men and women) vainly seeking work.
The Chicago newspapers have for two
years been getting ready for the Worlds
fair season, and their several depart
ments are filled with competent men.
Therefore others who come to Chicago
now in the expectation Of securing en-
ployment are bound to be disappointed;
there are no places to be had; in every
newspaper Office at the present time ap-
plicants are standing about 10 deep In
the outer chamber, with never so much
as the prospect of a possibility to encour-
age them.
Many of these people are suffering
from want Of money. They left employ
ment elsewhere to rush to this city Of
the Worlds fair, where they fancied
their services would be snapped at. Most
of these unfortunates will have to walk
out of town or take to driving street cars
for means of subsistence.
With view to ayerting further trouble
we ask our newspaper friends elsewhere
to disseminate assiduously the informa-
ton that newspaper work is not to be
had in Chicago; that every place is filled
here; that already we have with us an
army of unemployed reporters, and that
every newspaper writer who comes TO
Chicago with view to getting work is
pretty sure to have nothing but his trou-
BILE for his pains.-Chicago News Record.

The daily papers all recorded the fart
that the steamship Majestic, on her east
ward trip, caught sea that demolished
her crows nest lookout, and that the
Teutonic, which caught the same gale
coming west, had one sea which combed
over the crows nest and carried away
her forward port lifeboat as it went over
the rail. But none Of the daily papers
took the trouble to mention just how
the crows nest is situated on these ships,
and consequently how high that sea was.
Inquiry by Marine Journal repre-
sentative discovered that, while in men
of-war and many other ships the Gus
tom is to have the crows nest in the
foretop or trifle above, the White Star
ships have it at an altitude of 25 feet
above the main deck on the foremast,
reached by little iron ladder from the
forward hurricane deck. In such q ship
as the Majestic or Teutonic the height
of the main deck at the foreriggtng Is
about 40 feet above the level Of the sea,
which would make the height Of the
wave that carried away the crows nest
in this instance about 70 feet. This Is q
pretty big roller for the north Atlantic,
but in other parts of the ocean such
waves are often encountered in a storm.
Supposing the ship to have been In O
trough of the sea at the time this wave
swept her, the mean height of the wave
might be calculated as not greater thar
90 feet, but it was certainly body Of
water nearly 10 feet high from where the
ship fioated. ed.-Marine Journal.

we are so glad to be able to lay before
our readers summary of the work of
one OF the many societies that exist for

he would undertake to come into the

with absolute power over legislation.
The entire legislation OF the country was
placed in the hands OF three members OF
the House.
Mr.. Bynum. Dem, of Indiana, protested
that the House had no power to confer
upon the Speaker the right to count a
quorum when the yeas and nays had been
taken. The yeas and nays would .',ow

Rockland. September 6.-In 1876, Col.
Burton came across the waters, bringing
with him the colony which settled the
historic little town of Gushing. Today
nearly 200 descendants of the Burton
family gathered at the Burton farm in
Gushing, and held a grand annual re-
union. Frank Burton Miller, Knox
County Register of Deeds. an honorary
member of the family, delivered the ad-
dress. He was badly stung by stray
hornet when he arose to open his re-
marks, but received prompt, old-fash-
ioned treatment and proceeded with the
oration. 1t was an eloquent, appropri-
ate and highly appreciated effort Isaac
Burton of Warren presented a chart de-
lineating the family's historical events
and genealogy. The brig in which Col.
Burton came over and the fort which
was built for protection from the Indi-
ans were described. J. F. Burton of
Castine was elected president, and A. L.
Burton of Thomaston secretary.

The water supply of the shipping city
is derived from Thompson's 8 brook, about
four miles out on the line of the Maine
Cenral railroad towards Brunswick.
The brook is now little more than a
bog, and there has been fear of water
famine for some time past. But the
greatest trouble of all is a new move
made by the water company. At the re-
signation of Superintendent J. w. Wake
field, Mr.. AS. Hall, Superintendent Of
the Brunswick company succeeded to the
Office. Soon crew of men began the
work of laying pipe between Brunswick
and the pumping station, for the ostensi-
BILE purpose Of supplying Brunswick rom

this does not satisfy the Bath people.
Many believe that the company intend
to force Androscoggin water IN the city
1t was promised that pumping station
should be built at Nequasset Lake on the
Woolwich shore, and thence only, in their
opinion, should the water supply of Bath
be derived. At meeting OF the city
council tonight it was voted to take
measures to prevent the introduction of
the dreaded Androscoggin water There
was also passed another order which
states that the people Of Bath believe
that Thompson's Brook will furnish an
ample supply, and authoriz es survey

VOORHEES, GETS A SET BACK.
The Administration Leader Not Yet Lead
ing Very Fast
Especial to the Press.l

Especial to the Press1
Washington, September 6.-The ad-
ministration leader in the Senate got a
black eye today and while it is unfor-
tunate for the cause of repeal that there
should be any delay in the passage of
the pending bill, there are great many,
even of the most ardent repeal Senators,
who are not sorry tossee Sentor Voorhees,
meet with rebuke every once in a
while. For man who passes as leader,
Mr.. Voorhees, has remarkable lack of
the knowledge Of the rules of the Senate
and general parliamentary practice which
every leadersmust have to be a success.
During the past few days, Mr.. VOORHEES,
lost no opportunity OF stating to the
country that he intended to do business
and that with the commencement of the
present week, real business methods
would prevail. In accordance with that
somewhat theatrical remark, he intro
duced resolution for the Senate to meet
at IL O'Clock every day instead of at
noon. Yesterday, he gave notice that to-
day he would press his resolution, but
when today came it was. Mr.. Voorhees,,
himself, who moved that his resolution
be indefinitely. postponed, which was
dkICCu lnuCA uAO dOllEho VI uhS
silver men. The reason of this postpone
ment, was that Mr.. Voorhees, had received
a hint that if any attempt was made
to crowd the silver men, especially the
Southerners, at this time, they would
start in to filibuster with vengeance,
and instead OF gaining time by prolong-
ing the session of this Senate the reverse
would be the case. Mr. Voorhees, found
that for the time being he was out
numbered, and there was nothing for
him to do but to submit and allow the
silver men to consume still more valuable
time.
The silverites are feeling very much en-
couraged tonight because today. Mr..
Morgan of Alabama, showed his hand.
Up to the present time his position was
in considerable doubt, both sides claim
ing him, but this morning Mr.. Morgan
left no question as to where he stood.
In opposing the immediate consideration
of the repeal bill and in devoting a couple
of hours to the argument on the resolu-
tion which he introduced yesterday for
the appointment of joint finance COM
mittee, he showed today that he was as
much a friend of silver as he ever was,
Voorhees, and his leadership. Mr.. Morgan
is one of the ablest parliamentary
tacticians in the Senate and besides
possesses the ability of being able to
talk for hours at stretch without show
ing the slightest signs of fatigue or ex-
hausting his vocabulary. While it is
not certain that Mr.. Morgan would join
the silver Senators from the West in any
prolonged flibustering, it is certain he
would insist upon ample debate and he
will not lend his assistance for the
adoption of cloture rule or for the
taking of vote until every Senator on
the floor has said every word he cares to
say on the subject.

result of the conference of committees Of
spinners and manufacturers this morn
ing it was agreed to recommend to the
two associations that spinners' wages
hereafter be paid on what is known as
the standard list. This will mean re-
duction in wages about 10 per cent, to
go into effect next Monday. The manu-
.facturers submitted a statement showing
their reasons for reducing wages. 1t is
probe that eight or ten mills will start
within week or two on reduced scale,
although no agreement was signed to
that effect. Secretary Howard and two
other members of the spinners' commit
tee think the spinners as a whole will
agree to accept cut-down, and pro-
longed strike will be avoided. The
