Gents ~ have been troubled with kidney and
kindred diseases for sixteen years, and tried all
could get without relief. Two and a half years
ago was taken with severe attack of La Grippe,
which turned to pneumonia. At that time my
Liver. Kidneys, Heart and Urinary Organs all som-
bined in what to me seemed their last attack. Ny
confidence in man and medicine had gone. Ny
hope had vanished and all that was left 10 me va
dreary lie aud certain death. At last heard Of
10. At this time was using the vessel often a
sixteen times in one night, without sleep or rest.
In short time. to my astonishment. / could sleep
all night as soundIy as q baby, which had not
done in sixteen years before. What know ID has
done for me. firmly believe il will do for all who
will give Alkavs fair trial. most gladly recon-
mend Alkayis to all. Sincerely yours.

sympathy and interest in all living creatures.
A child that is kind and tender to all birds and

can acquire through learning to distinguish
between fabrics A piece of cotton is placed in
his little hands and he is told that cotton is
made from hollis that grow on plant down in
the South, aud that the plants are taken caro-
Of by colored people. And here may follow the
entire story Of why tho colored people were
brought to this country, how they were kept
in bondage to work for the white people, how
they were delivered from that bondage and are
now learning to read and write and be Gods

of every color, everywhere.

BUREAU OF LABOR.
Statistics of the Employment of

Commissioner Wright, In Obedience to a
Resolution of Congress, Transmits
Interesting RepOrt-Men
and Women Compared.

WAsHINGToN. Feb. 1.-THE 11th an
nual report of the burean of labor,
just transmitted to congress- by Com
missioner Wright. was prepared in
obedience to a Joint resolution of con-
gress directing an investigation rela-
tive TO the employment of men, women
and children. and is confined strictly
to a comparison of the extent of en-
ploymeDt and wages of 1S95-06, or ''pre-
sent period with the conditions in
what is termed former period" ante
dating the present period by at least
ten years. The agents of the depart
ment secured information from 1,067
establishments of various kinds,
located in 80 different states and en-
ploying las, 1857 persons-a number large
enough to insure that the data col
lected were thoroughly representative.
The complete data sought for, how
ever, were obtained from 931 establish
ments employing ca, $50 persons in the
former and 10S,64S in the present
period. OF this number in the first
period 26, 749 were males of Is years of
age or over, as against 43, 1875 in the
second, 4,175 males under IS years of
age, as against 7,540 in the second; 81,
1863 females, IS years of age or over,
and G, 6,743 females under Is years of age,
as against 45, 1872 and 12,571, respective
ly, in the present period. The male
employees IS years of age or over in
creased in the present period over the
former period 63.1 per cent, while fe
male employees of the same age and
period increased 66.3 per cent. Male en-
ployes under IS years of age increased
500 per cent, while female employees
under IS years of age increased s9.1 per
cent.
Out of the 22s instances in which
men and children (persons under IS
years of age) work at the same occupa-
ton with a like degree of efficiency,
men receive greater pay in 1872. or 1913
per cent. of the instances and children
receive greater pay in "a or 1915 per
cent, while in % instances or 81 per
cent they receive the same pay for the
same work performed with the same
degree of efficiency. The men receive
57.7 per cent. greater pay than the
children in the 1872 instances in which
they are paid more, while the children
receive but SO per cent. greater pay in
the "a instances in which they are paid
the higher wages.

SOME CHANGES LIKELY.

1GcKinIey's Cabinet Not KOt Definitely De-
termined Upon Exceptions ia Nc
Kenna.
CANTON, O., Feb. 16.-There are indi-
cations that there may be several
changes in the cabinet slate in the
next few days. The president-elect
uDdoQbtedly has determined to recog-
nize he claims of the soptherp repub-
licans, the only question being the
manner in which this will be done.
A thread of objection has been
quietly strung across the path
of Judge McKenna for the in
terror department on account OF
his Catholicism. The objection does
not stand as against his entering the
cabinet, but simply on account of the
influence the secretary of the interior
has in the matter of the supervision
and distribution of funds to Indian
achOOls
