the Rock creek region. Rock creek is q
large. rough. rapid stream which has
its scurce in the interior Of Maryland

ments that make mp not only pleasing
but wild and rugged scenery. There is
perhaps not another city in the Union

NEW HAMPSHIRE SHOEMAKERs.
Their Own Reports Show that Many Of Them
Live Beyond Their Means.

Concord, n. H.. April 2S-The biennial
report of the State Bureau of Labor was
made public, tonight. 1t devotes a long
chapter to the shoe industry and shows
that there are Ga establishments in New
Hampshide engaged in the manufacture
of shoes, paying for wages $3.159,9lS an
nually, and giving employment to 5000
people. The cost of material used is So.
749 322: annual product Sll9S600S; an IN
crease during the decade of Isl per cent. +;
in number of establishments of employees.
5.04 per cent: in amount of paid wages,
43 q per cent; in material used. M.H per
cent; and in value of products 29.G7 per
cent.
Tho report says in regard to wage
carncrs in this industry: OF 1915 who re
sponded to inquiries from the bureau. "A
report an increase in wages. and l13 re-
port reduction in wages 139 cor AZ per
cent. OF the total number) report having
saved a portion of wages earned, and
1856 report no savings whatever. BY this
showing it is shown that IS per cent. of
all reporting to the bureau acknowledge
living SO extravagantly as to eXpend all
of their wages. and some of them plead
from all sources.
In short. the reports of the living eX-
penses of the shoe workers received by
the commissioner of labor, indicate that
perhaps much of the feeling of unrest
and consequent factors which lead to
strikes and other labor troubles may he
due to this style of living. in which the
expenses exceed the wages earned.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. April 2S.-The market for
stocks was lacking in animation today,
and sank at times into a fund OF un-
qualified dullness, although evidences OF
iirmne&s and strength were not lacking
and the small net decline was due rather
to the sympathetic effects of the manipu-
lation by the bears of special stocks than
to anything in the general situation. IL Is
felt that the period OF excessive imports
of merchandise which is now throwing
the exchange situation against us Will
necessarily be limited by the enactment
into law Of the new customs tariff Tn
return of the gold that may go out now
Is therefore confidently expected with the
normal merchandise export movement

Ball Notes.

Joe Connor, formerly Of Augusta is
locked upon as the best throwing catcher
who has yet worn the Hartford uniform.
Rockland Star: Uncle Dilworth will be
given a trial by the Belfast club. If
''Dil" leaves the old sting alone he will
be all right. if not, he'll be all wrong.
Dilworth was never used better in his
life than he was in Augusta. but he new
er seemed to appreciate it. All hope that
the old warhorsc will pay strict attention
to business.
Philadelphia Times: Lajoie is a coming
star Last year he had hardly gotten
settled. In the field he was easy, grace
full. but was in new position on a new
field. Now he has had time to become
| acquainted with his work and his field
ing is vastly better. He is a perfect stone
wall on the bag and at the bat promises
to be the strongest and timeiest hitter
on the team. There is no doubt he is deS-
tined to be one of the stars of the league
in the future, and that future is close at
, hand.
Portland Sunday Times: In spite of
the dismal prophecies of its enemies and
at times doubts of its friends. the Maine
State League now bids fair to start in
, the season, May 20, under the happiest
of auspices. There has been manifest a
willingness on the part of the public in
, each of the six cities of the circuit to
subscribe enough to start the game in
good shape. and if it is not a success ii
will be the fault of the managers. If
, the heads of the clubs avoid quarrels
among themselves and stick to the salary
! limit like grim death, they are bound to
succeed. The season does not open until
the 20tn of May, about the time it usually
opened in Maine in the New England
League, and by that time the people will
be just hungry for base ball. Notice has
been received from President Young that
the clubs will be protected under the
national agreement in class G, pending
compliance with the usual conditions
