sEWs ON BUTTONS FOR A LIVING

Speaking about odd ways of making a
living" said lawyer. 81 can tell you a
new one, and it is followed by man who
says he does fairly well. He goes from office
to office all over the city and does nothing
but sew on buttons for men of all kinds,
bachelors and boys and married men, too
It's nickel button, and he generally fur
nishes the button, though in most cases, he
says, the men have buttons with them. As
he enters an Office his usual salutation is,
Buttons, buttons, any buttous off, and on
either coat, vest or trousers every man is
pretty sure to find button off or nearly ready
to come off The genius carries his pockets
full of buttons of every kind, and class, and
he seldom fails to match His waxed threads,
needles and scissors are ready at hand, and
a man need not miss five minutes from his
duties to be nicely repaired as far as buttons
are concerned. The shrewd button sewer is
not very communicative. but it's bad day
when he fails to sew on twenty buttons, In
one office, at least, where six or eight are
employed, saw him gather forty cents in a
half hour. And a girl paid him ten cents of
that amount if he would stitch two loose
buttons on her jacket and make them firm

TALK AGAINST TIME
Republican Senator's Using
Every Means to Defeat
the Tariff Bill.
FREE WOOL THEIR SCARECROW
Manufacturers and the Senate
Committee The Sugar Inves-
tigation.

WASHINGTON, June Is, 1S94-The Tariff
bill was taken up in the Senate at half past
ten A. NJ, the pending question being, as it
has been since Tuesday morning, whether
wool is to be struck out of the dutiable list.
Mr.. Dolph rep., Ore..) in resuming his
speech of last evening, prefaced his argu-
ment by the remark that the Senator from
Tennessee {Mr. Harris was manifesting too
much impatience in urging action on the
bill. That Senator should remember, he
said, that it was an important measure
affecting the prosperity OF the whole coun-
try, and that it required careful considera-
tion, deliberation and discussion. He (Mr.
Dolph) would certainly do his best to secure
such deliberation, consideration and dis
cussion, and would endeavor to secure
amendments to the bill.
WANTS TO STOP PROGRESS.
Mr.. Dolph thought that the progress of
the bill should stop at the wool schedule at
least until SOME concession was made by the
majority in relation to wool. His own
opinion had been that if the minority
were united the bill could be beaten,
and should be beaten, and that it was
the duty of the Republican minority to enter
into struggle OF physical endurance with
the majority, and to tr6 1t it as it had (when
in the minority treated the Republican
majority as to measures to which it was OPP

By Catle to rhe United Press.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, May "A, 1S94.-lt is con-
sidered very surprising here to see how
easily some Armenian revolutionists sue
ceed in having their falsehoods believed by
honest and straightforward Americans.
Nothing is more erroneous than to think
that the Turkish Government persecutes Ar
menians. But, at the same time, as there is
revolutionary movement among a certain
class of Armenians in Turkey and among
also Armenians naturalized in the United
States, the Porte is obliged to defend itself
against their pernicious efforts, the object
of which is to destroy the Turkish Empire.
In similar circumstances what would the
United States Government do? Would it
allow revolution to spread in it's dominions!
Certainly not Why, then, should Turkey
be so foolish as to help its own destructions
The news published in New York that the
Constantinople University of Law had been
closed for political reasons was not based
upon truth. The temporary closing OF the
University was due to the Ramazan 1t has
been reopened since.
1t is erroneous also to say that Mecca is
the place from which cholera spreads.
Cholera of course exists at times there. But
it is brought there. Certainly the sanitary
conditions of the Eastern cities are not al
ways perfect. The Turkish Government
knows it, and it is fact that the Sultan is
trying with all his might to ameliorate the
condition of affairs in this respect also"

A RUFFIANLY SONS THREAT.

New YORK, June Is, 1S94.-Arthur Rack,
youth of eighteen, is charged by the
police with parricide. The immediate cause
of his arrest was the murderous threats
against his mother, following her refusals of
his demands for money. The young mans
father mysteriously disappeared last New
Years day, but his body was subsequently
recovered.
Last evening young Rack came in the
house No. 4l4 West Twenty sixth street
about nine P. NJ. in an insolent and violent
mood and demanded some money from his
mother, who is sixty years old. She refused
his request and told him she was going to
Ireland and then he could no longer worry
her with demands for money to spend for
debauchery.
Iniamed with anger, the ungrateful son
drew knife, and, holding its point at his
mothers throat, hissed: IF you go to Ire
land to shake ME I'll do you as | did my
father
This threat thoroughly frightened the de-
fenceless old woman and she ran out to the
neighbors for help. Policemen we re sent
for and Rack was arrested.

in which eighty men were killed. At five
o'clock this morning a rescue party went
down into one of the pits. The fire in the
pits were spreading in all directions, de-
stroying the ventilator shafts. The
rescue party was caught by the
flames and perished. Large crowds of peo-

other relatives of the dead miners
are congregated about the entrance to the
shafts, giving vent to their grief in loud
lamentations The fire is still burn
