Their DasA u Sreed Whsa Alarmed ~ ~
Whla Of Rine Ball.
The rapidity with which the different
xebras have been exterminated. owing
to the advance Of civilization in South
Africa, is shown by reference to such
works as that Of Sir CORVALLIS Harris,
written in 1870, in which the author
tells us that the quagga was az the time
found in 'interminable herds, bands
of many hundreds being frequently
seen, while he describes Burchell's ze-
IRA as congregating in herds of 80 or
100. and Astounding to a great extent,
but now, after the expiration of but 90
years. the one species is extinct or
practically so, while the other has been
driven much farther afield and its num-
5ers are yearly being reduced.
This authors description of the COM
mon zebra is well worth repeating. He
saws: Seeking the widest and most
seqnes:ered spots. naughty troops are

and fieetness of foot as from the abrupt
and inaccessible nature of their high

Before the .eomitg pf Christ manual
labor was held In degradation, and related
Ito slaves, as being unworthy Of fleemen.
Christ our Savior has digniaed and en-
nobled labor by word and example.s He
was pleased to devote many years Of his life
to mechanical pursuits. and ever since he
worked in the carpenter shop he shed q
halo around the Workshop. II the profess
sion Of a general was ennobled by a Wash

was ennobled by the example Of a Web
ster and Burke, II the profession of .
jurist was ennob1ed by Marshall and q
fancy, II the vocation Of prelate was
lennobled by the example Of Carroll,
then the calling of q workingman is dig
nifed by the example of Christ.
Labor has its rights, chief among
which is the privilege of organizing with
out infringing upon their employers. One
of the most difficult questions in our
times to discuss is the question of strikes.
Strikes, as experience has demonstrated,
are very questionable for the laborers
grievances. Statistics furnished show that
the loss to the employees by strikes for
eight years amounted to nearly s7s O00, o00
while the employers lost only one-half
this amount. / earnestly hope that some
efficient remedy will be found to put an
end to our recurring strikes, and arbitra-

that can be conceived Of"

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 1.-The northeast
storm, which has been raging along the
coast for several days. is increasing in
fury. Heavy gales are playing havoc with
the telephone and telegraph wires, and
the surf is dangerously high. The water
is on level with buildings In the inlet
district, and is breaking over the board
walk all along the ocean front. The cleo.
trio railroad on Brigantine beach has been
washed out in several places on the lower
end of the beach, and it is feared that the
big steamboat wharf will go, as it is rap
idly weakening. The railroad tracks over
the meadows are submerged, and trains
have great difficulty in crossing.
