Ofice, the Men Go Out.

The five union printers employed by

gardless OF the Typographical Unions

reduced about IL per cent.

slip the firm says: lowing TO the long

JAPAN's FIRST STEEL BUILDING.
Contract for Its Erection Made by
the Carnegie Company.

PITTSBURG. PA, April 1.-The Carne-
gle Steel Company has prepared the con-
tract for the first steel building ever
erected in the Empire of Japan. While
the American contract is comparatively
a small matter, the Importance lies in
the fact that a new field has been opened
for the output Of American steel-mills.

gineering architect. arrived i'm Pittshurg
to-day TO consult with the Carnegie
Company's representative concerning de-
tails The building Is 10 cover an I'M
mense area, but owing 10 the preva-
lence of earthquakes in Japan, Will be
but four stories high. Its dimensions
will be 150x235 feet, and II is being built
by Matsui & Co.. of Toxic, for Office
and mercantile purposes. About 100
tons of steel will enter into its con-
struction. This will be shipped by way
of New York the first shipment TO be
loaded at New York on September lst.
The material will all be prepared here
ready for erection, no workmen being
sent 10 Japan.
The structure is to be ornamented in

THE SPIDERS WON AGAIN.
They Dragged the Roanoke Yellow
jackets Into Their Web

Victory still smiles on the Richmond
College Spiders. They won another game
yesterday, but they didn't have a walk
over. They met for the first time the
Yellow-Jackets from Roanoke College. and
it was nip and tuck from start to finish.
The Yellow-Jackets played well and bat
ted hard, and made every possible effort
to achieve a victory. The Spiders, how
ever. worked equally as hard. and spun
their web around the Roanokers. finally
succeeding in hemming them in.
AN INTERESTING CONTEST.
The game was decidedly the most In
terestng that has been played here this
year, and abounded with brilliant plays
on both sides. Wellington, a long. lank
twirler of great ability and abundant
speed. fingered the sphere for the Yellow
Jackets. and DeCamps, the bushy haired
youngster who has done such clever work
in the past week, manipulated the hide
for the Spiders. WeddingtOn appeared to
have slightly the best Of the argument,
but neither pitcher was hit hard.
In the third inning the Roanoke lads
accumulated four runs. and kept the lead
for several innings thereafter sMatters
looked apoplec'ic for the Spiders, ana de-
feat seemed to stare them in the face.
WORKED ALL THE HARDER.
The little insects despaired not though,
but went to work all the harder. In the
fifth inning Frank Cunningham, Jr., "the
son of his father" lined out a three-bag-
ger which yielded two runs. In the
seventh he raped out a double. which
yielded two more runs and tied the score.
Then things became lively. The Yellow
Jackets added a couple of runs to their
score. but the Spiders offset this with
three runs, and thus the game was won.
The score here appended will tell the

They Knew the Bugle Call.

Speaking of the cleverness of horses
a foreign paper tells most interesting
story of an American horse:
In the year 1872, during skirmish
with the Sioux Indians, the Sd United
States cavalry formed an emcampment
in valley on the southern border OF
Dakota At nightfall the horses were
tethered by long line to the ground.
Toward daybreak violent storm OF
rain and hail burst over the valley,
when the terrified animals broke loose
from their fastenings and tore away up
the steep sides of the valley into the
territory of the enemy. Without horses,
at the mercy of the enemy, we would
have been lost; yet it was impossible,
in the darkness, to go after them into
an unknown country, probably full OF
Indians. The commanding officer, as
a last resource, ordered the stable call
to be sounded. In few minutes every
horse had returned to the encampment,
and we were saved.

WHERE FORTUNES ARE STORED.
A Look at the Strong Room of a Great
New York Bank.

A Look at the Strong Room of Great
New York Bank.
No little dramatic interest is latent
in these huge boxes of heavy masonry,
of the dimensions of large room, with
their thousands of interior safes, each
with its own locks of various com.
plexity and strength. In single
vault on Broadway there are $4,000
compartments, from a size just suf.
ficient to contain a dozen railroad
bonds to the huge caverns of masonry
that hold tons upon tons of silver and
gold.
The main doors which furnish en-.
trance to the great box are the points
on which the utmost mechanical skill
is lavished. No burglar would eveI
think of trying to effect an entrance
through the walls. If he disposed o.
the watchman who tramps around
the outside in little alley between
the outer walls of the building and
the vault, it would require days t.
drill sufficient holes to take sole
piece out of the wall But if burglar
can only overcome the lock of one o.
the main doors, there is the entrance
ready-made. These doors are mar
vellous. One of them weighs tifteeI
tons. They are constructed by weld
ing together layers of different hare
metals, sometimes seven distinct kinds
so that if an ingenious burglar finds &
way of piercing the first, an entirely
different problem confronts him at the
second, and so on. At any moment
his drill is likely to make connections
with an electric alarm, which not only
raises the guards of that vault, bu
tells the watchman of half a dozeI
others, some a mile away, that trouble
is at hand. But even if the lock were
overcome the monster doors would moi
open, because large section OF the
stone floor has to be sunk down by an
electrical device before the bottom Of
the doors are above the masonry.
just above each door appears an ON
inous-looking pipe; it can, in the
event of burglarious efforts, belch
forth boiling water and steam on the
assailants below.-C. ID. Lanler IN

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Fine teeth beget broad grins.
Pride often wears sackcloth under
it's dress suit.
Don't blame others for getting rich
on what you throw away.
Some of the front pews may be found
at the tail end of the parade.
Genius sometimes seems to be that
sort of gift which gains unmerited
sympathy for recklessly degrading
itself.
We learn wisdom from failure more
than from success we often discover
what will do by finding out what will
not do.
If people could see their obituaries
while they are still living, it would en-
courage them SO much that they might
live longer.
1t is not putting things in the right
place that bothers man so much as
finding the right place after he has put
things in it.
Resentment seems to have been given
us by nature for defense only; it is
the safeguard of justice and the secu'
rity of innocence.
A man may love a woman enough te
give up smoking when she asks him tt
do it for her sake, but he will nevel
love SO much again.
No man should trust himself alone
with girl who talks about affinity,
and her need of daily companionshiI
with kindred soul.
4 Neither accept an opinion, nor ex
cept against it, merely on the score O.;
its novelty all that is new is not true
but much that is old is false.
|. Be mans vocation what it may, his
rule should be to do his duties per
fectly, to do the best he can, and thu
to make perpetual progress in his art
Real friendship is real grower, ans
never thrives unless grated upon |,
stock of known and reciprocal merit
Remember to make difference be
tween companions and friends.

weeks. June l, to "a, and 15o teachers
and candidates for teachers, are now
in attendance there, and many more
are expected to enroll, yet.
The Dothan School Board requires
their entire corps of teachers to attend
this Training School for Teachers and
prepare for better and better work In
their schools, and increase salaries to
enable their teachers to do so. It
would be we'll if every city and town
School Board would insist thus upon
Professional Training for their school
teachers, and it begins to be almost a
necessity that teachers should take
course of training, thus.
The State Normal College OF Troy
has many calls for trained teachers,
and the college is sending out SCORES
of such every year, as it is glad to do.
School Boards may rest assured that
their calls for trained teachers Will
have prompt attention. DR.. u. ~

schools in Alabama.
