Gotham Newsboys VIII Work the Ope
Cars.

Gotham Newsboys VIII Work the Open
Cars.
Since the open cars have been put on some
OF the surface roads the order prohibiting
newsboys from selling papers on the cars is
Of very little effect on these lines. It is i'm
possible for conductor to guard his car at
all points from the active urchins, who sell
many paper under his very nose.
The boys usually work In pairs. One boy
jumps on one side and attracts the attention
OF the conductor by an ostentatious display
OF his papers, combined with vociferous call
ing OF his wares, and while the official Is after
him his partner is quietly selling his ''papes"
to customers on the other side.
The boys are very careful to get their
money before handing the sheet out, as in the
interim between receipt and payment the
conductor might suddenly compel them to
flee, leaving the "extry" unpaid for in the
customers hands, whereas, having the money
first, II they are put to flight it is 30 much
clear profit. A pair Of boys thus working to-
gether divide sales.
At first the conductors strove with whip and
threats to keep them OF, but when they came
to realize the difficulties they relaxed their
watchfulness, and now on most Of the open
cars only the most fragrant impudence on the
part OF a newsboy will bring the conductor
down upon him.-New York Sun.

Goodnight. said Bessy, with trembling
lip.
So it was settled. It never entered into
any ones heart that Bessy was not used
tenderly. And the days hurried On. one
after the other. toward the first day, on which
the twain were to 'pass meeting'' for the
first time, preparatory to the solemnization oi
their nuptIals.
1t was Friday. All the week Bessy had
been little sad, not quite herself. The ex-
tremely fine fabric Of her muslin dress did
NOT seem to interest her as 1t should have

Found Dead Under en- Umbrella.
From the Courier-JournaIl

parties were hunting in Doran's cave, on the
Cumberland mountain, last Saturday, they
saw raised umbrella over an apparently
sleeping man in a comfortable nook. They
called to the man, but as they did not respond
they approached and found that he was dead,
and had been SO for about a week. gold
watch was in the vest pocket, and money was
found in the trousers pocket. The man was
about 60 years OF age. There were no marks
OF violence upon his body. His death and his
identity are mysterious. The body was re-
moved to a village near by, where 1t was
viewed by all the neighborhood, and nobody
had ever seen the man in life. 1t is believed
that he, with suicidal intent, quietly sought
out the sequestered spot, took poison, and
raised his umbrella to shade him from the
sun us lie fell into his long, last sleep.

FORMER HARD TINES.
The Experiences for Several Years Sine
1870

The Experiences for Several Years Since
In 1850 we had about the same hard times
We are having now, but there was not SO
much idle money in the country. Out Of
2,4s5, 700 spindles in New England over s00.-
600 were stopped. Reduction of wages fol-
lowed in Fall River and strike Of great mag
nitude occurred, causing widespread suffer-
ing. For the first time arbitration was sug-
gested by workman, but the suggestion re-
ceived no attention. During nearly six
months 900 persons were idle. Finally the
reduced rates were accepted. The Pittsburg
iron workers also struck against proposed
reduction, but the mills started with imported
workmen
There were serious disturbances and an
attack on one of the mills. Arrests were
made, and many men and women were sem
fenced to imprisonment and fines. The
strikers were subsequently pardoned by the
Governor on petition OF part OF the jury and
large number Of citizens. During the years
1850 and 1851 strikes for the ten-hour system
occurred in many industries, but most Of
them failed, owing to the increasing immigra-
tion OF foreign workmen. In 1852 most re-
markable strike occurred at the Salisbury
(Mass.) mills. The employees, members Of the
oldest families In the town, had for thirty
years enjoyed the privilege Of fifteen minutes
during each half day for luncheon.
Owing to the abuse Of this privilege It was
suddenly abolished. hundred employees
disregarded the order and were dismissed; :;
the female weavers thereupon went out on a
sympathetic" strike. The whole town de-
bated the question. The strike was Joined by
the employees of the Amesbury mills, where
the luncheon privilege had also been suddenly
abolished. At length the mills were started
with Irish help and the former operatives
gradually left the place. The town suffered
greatly from the crippling Of its chief indus
try and the depreciation Of property.
In 1858 there was twelve unsuccessful
strikes. In 1854 ten strikes occurred, the most
notable OF which was the strike OF the COM
positors Of the Philadelphia Register, who OBJ
iected to the employment Of girls in the job
bing department. Some of the strikers were
arrested and charge with conspiracy to pre-
vent the issue Of the paper. Only three strikes
occurred in 1855. one Of them-that of the
cigarmakers at Suffield. Conn.-lasting seven
weeks. The strikers were financially sup
ported by the cigarmakers in other cities In
1856 Irish labors upon the wharves in Bos-
ton struck against the introduction OF steam
hosting machinery, and it was unsuccessful.
The above include the notable strikes in Amer
lea from 1850 to 1860.

Had you asked Friend Hannah Prout why,
she would have said: my daughter does

not allow her to marry until that is well learn
ed" Young men who saw Bessy at the meeting
or in her fathers store were not so calmly in
different More than one Quaker youth, with
pleasant appreciation Of Bessy's beauty and
thrifty consideration Of her fathers wealth,
were like Barkis willing" But on none of
them did the paternal eye fall with favor.
Ephraim Prout and his wife Hannah had
already selected a husband for their child.
That husband to be was one Peter Potter, a
widower of 90. who talked and occasionally
preached, and owned three blocks Of Arch
Street property squares" the parlance Of
the Philadelphians.
Bessie had not been consulted. Often she
acauiesced in the maternal opinion that
Friend Peter was a worthy man. And proba-
bly, she would have as calmly acquiesced in
the opinion that he was the proper husband
to select when tire time came but for one un-
lucky circumstance.
About the middle Of December, just when
Bessie's loaves were beginning to merit ap-
proval, Selma Grief was married. After

ceremonies, the new-made couple gave

Thither also came young man of the

wore black coat, Il pair of patent leather
boots, and stovepipe hat, and who was re-
garded by the youthful Friends with feelings
of mingled admiration and terror.
OF course, there was neither singing or
dancing, but they played, tho forfeits being
generally kisses. Mr.. Hubbard enjoyed him
self amazingly. He managed to kiss Bessy
oftener than anyone else, and that night
walked home with her.

swered:

should think friends proud"
So maternal solicitude was put at rest. and
ewimpressions were awakened by the fact that
Mr. John Hubbard took an immense interest
in butter and cheese, conversed with Friend
Ephraim on those subjects with great anima-
ton when they encountered each other at that
Friends store, and managed to be invited
home to tea because he really could not leave

THE PRETTY QUAKER'S CALL

Philadelphia boasts probably of the prettiest
Quaker girls in the world.
Twenty years or more ago there dwelt at
the corner of Chestnut and - streets GER
tain dealer in cheese and butter by the name
OF Ephraim Prout. He had made fortune
In tho trade and was widely respected.
His aged mother was one of those distin-
guished personages who take their seats upon
the platform in the meeting houses, and occa-
sionaily, say once in six months or so, have
"n call to speak,
Ind his wife was an industrious body, as
young looking as her own daughter.
As for that daughter. words cannot describe
her. Nature, in pity for the prejudice which
doomed her to wear sad-hued garments all
her lie. had showered upon her all the bril-
liant ;ints upon her palette Friend Eph-
riaas daughter was fair to lcok upon.
Perhaps she knew It, for she had looking
glass, but not one word of 1attery had she
ever heard.
SO. week after week, first day, found Bessy
at meeting; second day, busy with household
affairs. while her mother superintended the

thinking it would be pleasant thing II Friend
Peter could drive me there in his leathern
conveyance"
So Friend Peter was summoned. The Light
wagon was brought out, and away they
drove.
Peter discoursed volubly. Bessy answered
quietly. At last the wire bridge was crossed
and Fairmount lay before them.
When this was In sight Bessy spoke:

"Aye, verify do L"
'sThee will oblige me by taking this pack

Friend Peter obediently took the package

He stayed ten minutes. When he returned,

rushed about distractedly. No one had seen
anything.
Peter waddled home. They were not there.
The Quaker mother said:
"Be not alarmed; they will return SOON"
