HUNTING SWEATERS.
Factory Inspector Watchorn lnvesti-
gates the System in
Philadelphia.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Sept. 90 An in
vestigation Of the sweating system as
it exists in Philadelphia has just been
made under the direction of Factory
Inspector Watehorn, who has been try
to discover how many of these
sweat shops are amenable to the
factory inspection act. The
special investigation just concluded
shows q lcondition Of things almost
incredible in city like Philadelphia.
The Dvestigation was made by Miss
Mary O'Reilly, deputy inspector. in
whose district the exorable system is
in full operation. Factory Inspector
Watchorn accompanied Miss O'Reilly
occasionally. and what he saw con :
vinces him that the report does not
exaggerate the situation.
He finds that 2.9l4 persons are en-
ployed in sweat shops at CAB places.
OF this number but SO places come
under the jurisdiction of his depart.
ment, which he urges as an increase of
authority for the department In order
that these places may be reached and the
evil in some measure eradicated. Miss
OReillyS report is comprehensive as 10
detail and describes many OF the places
visited and scenes which she witnessed.
The system tiourishes in the tenement
district. Few Americans are. employed
In the work, the Russian Jews pre-
dominating. The report speaks of
crowded rooms, men. women and chill
dren huddled together eking ont a
miserable existence with their needles
men ashamed to say how little they
were paid for the work they do; the
wages are beggarly.
Miss O'Reilly describes the kind Of
goods manufactured by the half starved
men and women and suggests the dan
ger of spread Of disease from the sale
of such clothing, She makes q strong
plea for division of home and work
shop.

Know you don't care to hear about it
and if You do you can read it all in
guide books much better than l can
tell you.
There are so many amusing differ
ences between being English and being
American. If you are English you
will call telegram wire" as Here
is wire for YOU, Miss. as the maid
said to me this morning. They call q
smoking room, smoke-room, and in
stead of saying post no bills" they
say "Stick no bills" A street car is
tram" and by the way, let me say
that the most antiqusted street horse
ears are going over here still. In fact
there is but one electric road in big
London itself. the whole city being
traversed by means of cabs, horse. cars,
buses, and of course, the underground
railway
DRINKING CUSTOMS
Over here every one drinks beer, or
ale, or stout, not water. II you ask
for II glass Of water the maid does Eot
understand you at all and brings you
a glass of stout II you send it away
and repeat your request for glass Of
water you wait and wait and get
nothing. Coffee ls horribly made over
here. Tea is made very weil, and az I
am fond of coffee and dislike tea, but
cannot get good coffee and will not
take tea. l compromise on,eoeos. which
is very well made in Wales. AS con-
sequence Of the general ale-stout- beer
habit there are, Of course, more public
houses or inns than there are saloons
in our country, and their namss az a
constant source OF amusement to one.

POLITICS WHITFIELD DOWN.

Senator Manderson is very hopeful. in
view OF his advices from Nebraska, Of sue
ceeding himself in the senate.
Don M. Dickinson, who is In Washing
ton, believes in the possibility of Hill be-
ing the nominee for governor Of New
Yord.
Squire McMullen, of Philadelphia, thinks
Harrity was innocent of McAleers defeat,
but admits that everything is now up.
side down."
Massachusetts, district that the Democrats
may nominate ex Governor Russell to sue
ceed DR.. Everett.
Ex-Director Of the Mint Leech, now
New York BANK officer, doesn't believe
any Democrat could beat Morton for gov
ernor-even Hill would be pie' for him.
Walter Lyon, candidate for lieutenant
governor on the Republican ticket, sug-
gests that the Democrats could save mnch
expense by withdrawing their entire state
ticket.
Republican Congressman Hooker, of
New York thinks that d. N. Lockwood is
the only Democrat who has the slightest
chance Of election to congress in the
twenty-four districts north Of Harlem
river.
1t is said Mr.. Singerly has declared that
he will not give one solitary cent to the
campaign fund. Some money must be had
somewhere, and it has been decided to as
sess place-holders 3 per cent. of their sala-
ries.
After a conference with Senator Hill,
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, of New
York, said: "Mr. Thatcher is a very strong
man. OF all the Democratic candidates
thus far mentioned / consider him the
most available"
G. A. OBrien, a Pittsburg Democratic
leader. discussing McAleer's overthrow,
says; "Mr. Harrity has achieved another
glorious victory. as he is reported to have
defeated another successful Democratic
congressman, for which class he appears TO
have deadly hatred"
The Republican congressional commit
tee has decided the contest for nomination
from the Seventh South Carolina district
between Messrs. Ellery M. Brayton and
johnson. in favor of the former. Mr..
Brayton is white Republican, formerly
collector of internal revenue and chairman
Of the state Republican committee.
The fact that Mr.. Singerly has issued a
manifesto to the Democracy of the state
taking himself out of the fight has evil
IDENTIFY not served to fully relieve his feel
ings, He is still fighting mad and will
continue to pepper the Democratic organi-
zation in a manner that they will not rel
ish. 1t is reported that Mr.. Singerly is so
much vexed that he will not attend the big
reception planned for him. In this event
it will be rendered to the other candidates
on the state ticket.
John Jiles of Pittsburg, formerly iden-
titled with the Harrity machine at Harris
burg, but who has since broken away,
says: 1.-THE defeat of McAleer was MOTH
ing else than an outrage. 1t was breach
Of faith on the part Of Harrity, as it has
long been the agreement that McAleer
would receive the nomination. Singerly
only became candidate for governor for
the sake Of harmonizing the factions, and
his work in that direction has all been un-
done. 1t will have demoralizing influ.
ence all over the state.n

day. The Tammsny leaders and those
of the State Democracy from New
York city and the Shepard Democrats
from Brooklyn, formed nearly the en-.

vention crowd.
Not more than dozen leaders from
outside New York and Brooklyn have
put in an appearance. All the talk
about candidates centered in William
j. Gaynor for the head of the ticket. 1t
was admitted on all sides that he has
been slated for the place Apparently
no one has been pushing his boom. but
it has grown to such proportions that
all other booms are pigmies in com.

4, I'M clone indicate that the loss Of
'uu life will be in the neighborhood
Of ssventy-fivs while the injured will

of those hurt are expected to die and it
is not unlikely that fully 100 persons
will be numbered in the list of the cy-
clones fury. The property loss is very
heavy and 1t ia almost impossible ar
thistime to obtain anything more than
rough estimates of the damage
As indicated in last nights dis
patches, the storm originated near EN-.
metsburg, Ia, and passed east and
north to northern Iowa and southern
Minnesota, finally passing over into
Wisconsin. No reports.of serious dam.
age have been received from this sec
tion and the fury of the sle-
ments seems to have been spent
with the destruction of Spring VAL
ley. Here four persons are deHd some
severely hurt, while the property
loss is estimated at $S5 900, the resi-
dence portion of the town lying directly
in the path of the cyclone. At LIE Roy,
lying southwest. four are dead aud
several fatally injured. The destruc-
tion Of property amounts to $4,000.
This isI a heavy blow to the village for
its chief business houses lie in ruins.
FARM PROPERTY DESTROYED
Five miles north of Oaage, Iowa,
six persons were killed and large num-
Der hurt. The destruction Of farm
property is quite heavy, but no esti-
mates have been made. East at
Lowther, town Of about 100 souls, on
the Chicago and Great Western, three
persons were fatally hurt, and the
whole country for miles around laid in
ruins. The loss in this vicinity will
probably be not far from $100. 900.
Fifteen miles north OF Mason Cily,iowa,
four persons were killed outright and as
many more probably fatally hurt, while
all the buildings struck are total
wrecks. the loss being in the neighbor.
hood of $50, 900. West of Mason City,
near Britt. two persons were killed out
right, while north of this town some
half dozen lost their lives. North Of
Algona seems to have been the scene of
the greatest harvest of death. more
persons being killed in Kossuth county
than in any other one county through
which the tornado passed. Nineteen
funerals were held at Algona today.
North of Emmetsburg. whicn seems
to have been the point where the cy-
clone first assumed dangerous proper.
tions, two lives were crushed out.
As the storm travelled through the
country and avoided villages and
towns, the property loss is largely con-
fined to farm builings and these being
badly shattered render even an approx.
imation of the loss impossible, but
conservative estimates place the dam
age at not less that 81 900. 900.
