lage meeting to be held tuesday, May 18th
They decided to place in the warning
an article asking il the village would au :
thorize the trustees to lay permanent
roadway on Main street and would pro-
vide sufficient sum of money for that
purpose.
II it is found that the concrete laid last
summer from the south end of the COW
cred bridge for fifty feet on the highway
has successfully withstood the winter and
travel, the remainder Of the street to the
railroad track will probably be treated to
the same process OF coDcreting, as it would,
in that case, make durable and economi-
cal roadbed.
The concreting on the north side OF the
covered bridge was put in about six years
ago at cost OF 81 a square yard by s. A.
Howard, and guaranteed to last inde6-
nitely. Time, weather and wear have so
far made no impression upon 1t, and it
seems likely now to withstand all three
until the end of the time warranted.

bridge was put in by Mr.. Howard rs an
experiment at cost OF 60 cents square

NORTH Ton Aw ANDA, N. Y, Dec. 81
During the past six months this village

A CHALLENGE TO GROVER.

There may be some people content with
the views of the administration on the
currency question as expressed from the
stump by Secretary Carlisle, but there are
others who are not. Among the latter is
f. w. D..Mays of Pomeroy, WASH, editor
OF the Washington Independent. Mr.. Mays
desires to bring Cleveland himself into the
open to the end that the prolonged fnan-
ciai discussion may be at once forced to a
crisis and close.
To bring about this much desired con-
summation Mr.. Mays in his paper publicly
challenges President Cleveland to three
days discussion of the financial question at
some prominent point to be selected by the
President. The terms of the challenge are
that committee chosen by the contestants
is to act as umpire and if the decision is
against the editor he is to give his services to
the President, and if against the President
then that dignitary is to retreat from his
goldbug policy. In order to make the
challenge more impressive and emphatic,
the challenge declares refusal to accept it
lis to be taken as cowardice and a sense
Interpolation and fear upon the part of the
President that his cause cannot be main
tanned when its fallacies are exposed"

ienger is Populist. No man not in

NO CHILDREN At WORK.
The Result of Labor Commits
sioner Fitzgerald'S lnveS-
legations.
Sixteen Thousand Little Ones Whose
Homes Are In the Public
Streets.

Sixteen thousand lost children have
been found is the odd way in which
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald refers to
the result of his investigation into one
department of labor statistics.
Two months ago he compared the census
reports with the school census and found
there were $4,000 children not accounted
Tor In the school census. That is, there is
mat number of children in this City who
DO not attend either the public or private
educational institutions. The natural con-
clusion was that the youngsters were en-
ployed in the factories and other places
where young children could be used. This
thought was the more natural as no efforts
had been made for years past to suppress
or even regulate child labor in this State.
Under California laws it is unlawful to
employ in factories or other industrial
pursuits children under II years of age
or children under 16 years of ago who
are unable to read and write.
The new Labor Commissioner and his
two deputies started out to find the 5000
lost children. He was astonished at not
finding the little folk in the factories or
similar places.
~ have found the children, and l am
sorry to say found them on the Streets"
said Mr.. Fitzgerald. "They are growing
up without education or even trades"
in many of the larger cities in the East
and in the Old World young children are
compelled to labor in candy factories,
canneries, bakeries, restaurants and to-
bacco establishments, but such is not the
situation in San Francisco.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, in his investigation of
the child-labor question, found less than
thirty children who were employed in
violation of the law. AS these have homes
and parents, who are able to send the little
workers to school, Mr.. Fitzgerald made
their employers dismiss them. Most of
them were boys who worked in bakeries
and small laundries
1t is expected that when the fruit picking
and canning season begins efforts will be
made to utilize considerable child labor.
While the Labor Commissioner will see
that the law is complied with, and par
ticularly with reference to factory en-
ployes, he will allow little latitude in
the matter of the young folk being sent
into the country to pick fruit and berries.
He believes of the two evils, child labor
in the orchards and berry patches or child
corruption in the streets and lanes of a
city, the former is the lesser. AT any rate
the fruit season is short, and the fresh
country air will not in iure the children.
In speaking of the City canning fac
tories Mr.. Fitzgerald states the case is
different, and he will keep his eye on all
these places where child labor may be
used.
Mr.. Fitzgerald has developed the fact
that so many thousand children are being
reared in the streets and their only educa-
ton is in mischief and crime.

THE SUNDAY GALL"

The daring deeds of heroic men are
always interesting, and they are particu-
larly SO to the American people when the
deeds were performed beneath the stars and
stripes on the field of battle to maintain
the Union. For this reason all classes of
readers will find genuine delight in the
vivid description of Garfield's famous ride
at Ohickamauga, which will be published
in the Sunday CALL. In this feat of cour-
age Garfield achieved one of the most
brilliant personal successes of the war, and
the story can be read. with interest not
only because of the high fame the hero
afterward attained as President of the
United States, but also by reason of the
military importance of the deed itself.
Another article in the Sunday CALL of a
personal character, though of widely diff
ferent nature, will be found in an enter
tanning sketch of Dumont, one of the most
eminent journalists in France. Tom Greg
DRY contributes one of his best studies OF
sailor life in an account of Thomas
Walker, Agriculturist, U. S. N" The
series Of 'sIdyls of the Field'' is continued
this week in poetic description of an up
land pasture, and the installment of Cap
tain Kings story of Fort Frayne will be
found one of the most interesting yet pub
lished.
1t is not in the special articles only,
however, that the Sunday CALL will be
found attractive. It will contain the news
of the day from all parts of the world, an
elaborate account of all Pacific Coast hap
penings, reviews of new books, items OF
current interest in science and art, and in
the department of answers to queries a
| large amount of information on a great
variety of topics. The paper may be had
| from all newsdealers, but to make sure Of
getting it orders should be left to-day.
