in the cause of charity, but why, II
sewing is to be done, should it not be
done well? Hardly a garment Is put
together in such a way that it would be
serviceable for anyone save, perhaps, a
little savage, who would not object in
the least If his clothes did fall off Of
him.
Stitches are large and uneven. But
tonholes either resemble very ragged
chrySanthemums or are not undertaken
at all, aud if it were not for the after
work of paid seamstresses the labor OF

Needlework is an old fashioned but
thoroughly useful accomplishment. 1t

OF out door sports, bat if sewing is to

While the operators who are controlled
by the coal agency are complaining OF
low prices and are reducing wages, the
Winifrede company continues to ship
coal and sell it at profit in open mar
kets and never so much as threatens a
reduction Of wages.
The Campbel's Creek Coal Company,
another Of the largest coal companies
10 the valley, which ships all OF its coal
bv river, is also steadily at work. There
has not been a strike or lockout in
this company's mines for over ten years.
Campbelps creek coal sells readily at
all times in competition with Pittsburg
and Ohio Goals aud reductions are IN
known at the mines. The only time
when these mines are idle is when the
wateris too low to ship by river.
The terrible competition and ruinously
low prices, at which President INGALLS,
says coal must DO sold, does not seem
to affect very much the companies
which ship by water.

A Good Suggestion.

At last nights session of the Council

and will attempt to have the hauling

The makers Of canned goods In France
have evidently worked" the French
minister of war after The style Of Amer.
lean tariff monopolists. He has issued
an order that hereafter none but
French canned goods shall be used in
the French army, which has heretofore
been supplied by American canned
goods makers, Who had q monopoly OF
shat trade in France. because their
goods we're much better and far cheaper.
The order Of the French minister OF
war will more than double the cost Of
these goods which are consumed in
enormous quantities by the army, the
Increase being estimated at $50 per
cent
This IS FOR the benefit Of the canned
goods industry ia France. IN other
words, it is the French version Of Nc
Kin'eyism.
Who viii reap the benefit? The
French army2 No. They will receive
poorer food. The people? No. They
viii be forced 20 gay $50 per cent. more
FOR the canned goods used By the army.
Who viii be benefited? Not one man
On al France outside Of a few canned
goods manufacturers, who End they
cannot compete I'm oi,her quality or
price, even in their own MARKET with
ther American competitors.
"Go from homo aud learn the truth"
would not be bad maxim for the Nc
Kin'eyites 10 America. They can see in
France how the system they advocate in
the United States works, for the order
Of the French Minister OF War is moth.
Ing more nor less than the application
Of the Mckinley doctrine Of protection.
Tn this connection 10 IS Interesting TO
note the discovery Of another American
industry that can giye the "pauper
labor" Industries o. Europe odds Of two
20 one 10 their own markets and stnl
beat them out OF sight.

GOOD FOR TRE HsALTa COMMIT
TEE.

The Council Committee on Health. at
last nights session, took hold OF the
garbage contract matter in a manner
which entities them to all praise.
There has certainly been enough Of
child's play 10 the past, n dealing with
this important question, and the stand
taken by the Committee last
night ought TO be promptly
backed up and ratified by Council, next
Tuesday night
While approving Of the action Of the
Committee generally, the REGISTER
takes the liberty Of opposing one sug-
gestion as to vehicles for garbage col
lection. At the session Of the Com
mittee there was some talk to the effect
that one wagon, for collection pur-
poses, was equal to two carts. That
is correct, as far as capacity is con-
cerned, but il is far from true in the
important particular of covering any
given area Of the city. Two carts in
ward will do more work than one wag-
on, because the carts enable an attack
to be made on the garbage at two points,
while a wagon will take twice as long
TO 90 over any given territory.
This time the city wants something
like a good system, and the Committee
and Council will do well to stick to the
twelve cart idea in summer, and exclude
wagons, if rendered on the Idea that
wagon Is the equal of two carts.

For several days the heating furnaces
at the Clay School building have not
worked properly, and It has been found
necessary 10 dismiss the pupils on more
than one occasion. 1t was discovered
that the terra Gotta fue Innings were
defective, and workmen are now re-
placing them. On Monday the furnaces
filed with water, and the fires were ex-
tinguished. 1t was at hrst thought
that the water came from defective
sewers, but upon investigation it was
found that it came from springs under
the furnaces.
School was dismissed yesterday, and
the building will not be nsed until
reservoir is dug, into which the water
will be drained, and then allowed to
run off through the sewers. In the
meantime the pupils in the higher
grades will attend school in the Odd
Fellows building, corner Chapline and
