In Case of Fire.
An article in st. Nicholas, in speak
ing of New York fire-alarm boxes, says:
This box forms part of a lamp post,
the post being so constructed that the
box is inserted in the middle. The box
is painted bright red and the lamp
at night shows a red light, thus making
it easily discernible either by day or
night. The wires from the box are con-
veyed down through the center of the
post to conduits buried in the street
and thence on to fire headquarters.
White letters on n red pane of glass
in the lamp over the box give direc-
tions how TO send an alarm. The same
direction in raised letters are found
on the face of the box. If we turn the
large brass handle on the ouside as
fax as it will go, loud gong will ring
inside. This is not the alarm, but sim

in which he promised to settle as soon
as he returned. lie came back to the
city two days before his monthly check
was due, and he was "broie."
He knew that to face the landlady
without money would be to invite u!-

enough to go to hotel, and he sought
relief in craft.
He went home at an hour after she
had retired, let himself in with a latch
key and tip-toed softly to his room.
She attended divine service each morn

had gone out in the morning he made
his own bed, smoothed out the covers
nicely, made a change of garb ard went
out. She VOTED not of it. And so he
did the next night, too.
Then, on the third day. having re-
ceived the expected check, he went
boldly in at MONDAY. as if fresh from
long journey, paid his just debt, ard
was welcomed home as good dodgers
should be.

ORDER FOR MlllTlAMEN TO RESIGN.

Chicago, Dec 2O--rhe Times Herald
says:
Trades unionists are required by the
Chicago Federation of Labor to leave
the National Guard at once This was
the unanimous decision reached by the
delegates at their regular weekly meet
ing. 1t was said without contradiction
that union man could not consistent
ly serve in the militia and incur the
risk of being called out to shoot down
fellow trades unionists who We're on
strike for a betterment of their eco
nomic condition. SO every trades union
list who is now u member Of the ILL
nois national guard win be required
to secure a discharge from military
service at once.
Delegate u. j. Hassett started 1t all
with n motion to compel trades union
lists to leave the National Guard. An
amendment by McPhee was offered to
have every workman enlist and learn
how to handle u gun. This was lost
and less warllke substitute was Of
fered by Delegate Il. Il. Williams.
That rquest be made to all union
men now in the militia to get out of
service"
second motion was offered by Dele
gate Williams and passed urging all
union men who are not members of
the militia to refrain from enlisting.
General Miles suggestion of guns for
the postoflice was denounced and cited
as shadow of coming events. The
tocsin was sounded that capital was
organizing and that labor should be
prepared.
The delegates later declared their
opposition tothe creation of the pro-
posed new cabinet position of secre-
tary of commerce and industry. The
adverse report of the committee, to
which the subject had been referred,
was sustaind. A motion was passed
favoring the creation of a cabinet de-

900 persons are in enforced idleness
now. This estimate is probably very
near the truth, for If to these 600 shown
to be idle by theWorld's figures, be added
the many clerks, bookkeepers, account.

total would surely reach one hundred
thousand
Comparisons show that SO far as the
number of unemployed Is concerned the
situation is marked Improvement
over that of n year ago More men

ticularly true as to men engaged in the
building trades. Within several years
there has not been so much building
as now. In some instances walking
delegates have been made to ind a
sufficient number of workmen for EN-
ployers.
The increase of employment has come
for the most part to skilled labor. The
only striking incident in unskilled
labor has been in the ranks of labor in
street contracts. The story Is told at
the labor bureau The most interesting
comparison in this line is offered by
the figures OF the Free Labor bureau
of the association for improving the
condition of poor. This shows that in
December this year Sal persons secured
employment through this bureau while

vessels now under construction by
Germany include two first class battle
ships, one armored cruiser, FIVE pro-
tected cruisers, one torpedo boat de-
stroyer. and eight torpedo boats.
The report that German proposes to
seize Hawaii and Samoa is regarded as
ridiculous by administration officials.
Germany has little interest, as COM
pared with other nations, in the Ha-
waiian Islands. 1t is admitted that
her interest in Samoa Is large.

that the treaty is unfavorable to the

on Samoa and will agree to no propo-
sition which contemplates the turning
over OF the share of this government
