10 sWEATsHOP REMEDY.
Laws Are Useless in Germany, as
Elsewhere, to Stop the Evil

Washington, April 8.-After eleven
years of most careful consideration and
patient investigation. the German gov
ernment has been able to accomplish
nothing towards the amelioration Of
the condition of the miserable victims
Of the sweating system in the great
German cities.
Max Judd. United States consul gen
eral at Vienna, in a report to the state
department upon the late cloak and
clothing strike in that city makes this
statement and furnishes a. great deal
of information respecting the extent
and methods Of the sweating system in
Germany. Berlin is the greatest cen
ter for the manufacture of cloaks. no
less than 35 600 persons being employ
ed in their production and they are
miserably paid
A fair operator earns S1.44 per week
subject to loss of time through being
laid OF during the dull season That
is for expert hands, beginners get no
pay and these people receive no sick
benefits. being too poor to contribute
to the society funds. The governrneut +
has vainly sought to do something to
carry out the directions of the reichstag
to better the condition of these moor
women and it is no wonder, the consul
says. that many drift into a life of
shame.

ANGEL SETTLEMENT,
In Which the sArcho Angel was for
Years a Leading Power.


Danville, Ky, April son Jellico
creek, in Whitley county, this state.
there is an interesting community
known to the people in that region as
THE Angel Settlement
1t derives its title from the names of
the families which constitute its popu-
lation. The Angels. while thoroughly
identified with their neighbors, have
habits and characteristics peculiar to
themselves. They are said to have des-
cended from a man of great force and
power, Intellectually and physically.
who settled there many years ago.
Since then they have multiplied and
repIenished, and today there are many
families of Angels in the valleys along
JellicO creek. They are in possession of
about 2,00O acres Of land.
The Angels are clannish and are q
power in politics. Their physical pecu-
uarities are red hair, blue eyes and
powerful frames. They marry young
and have large families. One of the
leading sub-settlements is clustered
about "Old Bils" place. He has six or
seven sons and sons-in-law, all married
and with large families, and all of them
are guided by his counsels. Curiously
enough. one of the leading spirits in the
Angel settlement for many years was
called Arch" Angel.

Men and Ten Officers.

NIassowah. April Slater advices
from the front, show that the losses of
the Italians in the fighting which fol-
lowed the attack made upon the Ital-
ians native battalion at Mount 1Tocran
on April We're much more severe than
at first reported.
The first advices stated that 5000
dervishes attacked the italian forces
at the place mentioned and that Col
Stevani's forces from Kassala went to
the assistance of the bacalIon, sur
prised the enemy and drove them back
The dervishes, however, were rein
forced by several detachments from
Tucruf and returned to the attack 1T
is added that they We're again repulsed
in an engagement which lasted four
hours. during which the Italians lest
100 killed and wounded and the der
wishes suffered heavily in killed and
wounded while many of them We're
made prisoners.
Now. however. it is stated that the
loss of the Italians was ten officers

all organic matter liable to putrciy and
become a menace to the health of the COM
munity destroyed, but it has been found
by actual trial that the heat derived from
the burning of this refuse may be used for
the production of steam, which can be
utilized for commercial purposes, and the
revenue received from this source may be
sufficient to more than pay for the cost of
burning There are no less than 80 such

The health committee of Rockdale, man
ufacturing town of 70, 900 inhabitants, re-
Gently adopted the method, with the idea
of ultimately using the steam produced for
electric lighting purposes. 1t has been
found that this rough, unscreencd refuse,
running as much as 30 per cent of clinker
and ash, will evaporate l. 6 pounds of wa
ter for every pound of refuse burned under
boilers built to produce steam at 1870
pounds pressure. Coal burned under the
same boilers evaporated seven pounds Of
water ucr pound of coal. The two boilers
have CRATE surface of Is square feet each.
In building the two Instructor cells large
combustion chamber, common to both, was
provided between them and the boilers, so
that the gases could intormirElc and that
time should lie allowed for the combustion
of gases before they came in contact with

MALAGA IN JULY.
The Old Spanish City Has Little TO Offer
the Sightseer.

1t was July, and we had arrived at NAL
aga from Marseilles by water. The town
lay white and shining under barren am
phithcater of mountains. Between it and
the Ninucsa was great stretch of hot,
hazy, shimmering, sunlit water, over
which little boats, each with white avn
ing up, pulled out TO meet us We had
read in Mr. Harc's "Wanderings in Spain"
of the oxtortion and shocking manners of
Malaga's boatman. The same story was
In Murray, with an added warning to
keep our temper. But we had no trouble
Once we had landed and on the open

too lazy to look into them, and at the Ho-

Surely we had not come all this way to the
town of Hamct cl Zcgri to walk through
brand new, wide streets, lined with big
modern shops and clubs and cafes. The
huge interior of the cathedral was unim-

/ Moorish fortress stood on the top of far toe
| high hill to be climbed in the staring
sunshine of Il July day. And even Murray
could direct us to nothing else but plain,
bare church (whcre the banner of st. Fer

neatly restored, and river, dried up by
