reliable information to both employers and

labor markets OF the State could net fail
TO prove OF great value to both"
Like Conditions Eek ist Here.
The statements Of Governor Boies are
applicable to the conditions which are be-
Iieved to exist In this state with reference
to the pay intelligence offices and the adj
visibility OF establishing the free public
system. Commissioner Tiepke is favorable
to the establishment after the method
provided in the Ohio law, and he Is col
lecting variety of statistics with view
to its recommendation at the January
session OF the General Assembly. The
business depression during the past Is
months has resulted in throwing an un-
usually large number of people out of
employment. The State could bestow no
greater boon upon its idle classes than to
become beneficiary under the system rs
described, ensuring protection and. facili-
tating the employment OF the laboring
classes, whereby they maay become fac
tors in the promotion OF its material pros

Showed Up at Starting Time.

CowEs, Isle OF Wight, Aug. 8. .--Only the
visilant appeared on the iineAt gun fire
this morning in the race 70, the Royal
Yacht Squadron prize of f100 for
all yachts exceeding 41-rating, belonging
to any recognized yacht club.
AS three competitors were necessary
for the race to be sailed, the
event was declared off. The Britannia
was absent owing to the fact that she has
been docked "a result of the damage
which she sustained by scraping the shore
in the lufiing match on ventnor on Mon
day last, and as Mr.. A. ID. Clarke, owner OF
the Satanita, had been blackbailed by the
Royal Yacht Squadron, he refused to sail
his yacht.
Later in the day it transpired that the
rule requiring that taree yachts should
compete had been waived and the sailing
committee asked Mr.. George J. Gould to
send the vigilant over the course for hall
the prize. Mr.. Gould, however, declined,
saying that he did not consider that to
