To the Editor Of the Register.
As a constant reader of your Valuaple
paper I ask the privilege Of space IN your
columns for the following: :.
Since the formation Of the Amalgamated
Association there have been many changes
made in the wage scale system and method
NJ working in rolling mills. This has been
brought about on account OF the close
competition among the manufacturers
and has been beneficial 20 both parties.
II has been so TO manufacturers and work
men. first. because It gives the employe
the benefit Of increased output. and on the
other hand increases the number OF work
men in each mill or forge department
The Amalcamattd Association has made
great strides in adjusting THAR laws 10
mo- the requirements and conditions Of
trade in the many changes That have been
made in the past. There has only been
one change In the law governing pudding.
That is in granting companies the right
10 run their FORCES three turns u hFe
heats per turn in twen-y-f0ur hours. The
law in single turn mills is six heats TO a
turn. in a double turn mill five heats 10 q
turn. ia three turn mill four or five
heats is a turn. IL my judgment the con-
ditions have changed therefore. the law
in reference 10 pudding ir one particular
should be changed.
Fifteen years ago pudding mills. WORK
ing two turns. would take eleven hours OF
the twelve. or in other words, one turn
would have to wait on the other to get
done. Now things are changed but the
law Is the same IA two turn pudding
mill Each turn can make five full heats
I'm eight hours or two turns I'm sixteen
hours Therefore eight hours Of the TWEEN
ty-four is loss In burning Of fuel and
extra labor. Not long ago the Wheeling
Iron and Steel Company asked their men
10 make six hea;s a turn In order 20 help
than out on some of their orders. In this
the men were very willing 10 comply with
The company $ request because il was
clear gain to the men, but II they did il
they would be- branded as black sheep and
shut out Of all the union mills. Now. IN
order 20 bring this matter properly before
The convention that will be held in May.
and give two turn pudding mills the
right 10 make six per turn. / would sug-

against provisions Of the "completest tariff
bill ever reported, which they most
unrcasOuably complain very seriously
threaten the impOr, trade which THESE
countries have built up with the United

were any good reason why the Dingley bill
should not become a law, The office Of a

Men with Memories.

The advantages of good memory to
the historian are Obvious, and we find
it said Of Gibbon that when he had once
read a book it was of no further use 10
him; it was as a sucked orange and
could be- thrown away. Carlyle like
wise had prodigiously retentive mind,
while Of Macaulay's proves in this
lire there are many stories told. lilo
could lead book in the time it would
take another ipGn to cut the leaves,
and, Notwithstanding this lightning
rapidity, he knew it all perfectly. Once,
when crossing the Irish channel, he re-
peated to himself the whole of "Para-
disc Lost, " and it was said that if all
Millions works were lost Macaulay
could have restored them from memory.
While waiting in Cambridge coffee
house for a post chaire he picked up q
country newspaper containing two po-
litical pieces, which he read once
through and never thought of again fol-
40 years, when he was able to repeat
them without the change Of q single
word. -Household Words.

tce Fishers court when the case OF An
cello Grosno against Joseph Gardner

Gardner for the value OF a horse which he
had rented TO Gardner and which had
died on the latter's hands The jury
thought that Gardner could not be held
responsible for the horse and brought 10
a verdict OF no cause for action. Attor-
ney Streeter appeared for the defendant
and Attorney Macdonald for Mr.. Gros
inc. The case occupied the attention o
the court and jury all afternoon.

The enrolment OF pupils at the puohc

history OF the public schools OF thls CITY
and far exceeds the expectations oil Su-
perintendent Cooley or any other Oh tne
.chool nm boritIes. On the first day oil
school the number OF pupils on hand was

400 the number that was IN attenuance
atsny time during tue last year. now
ever the number will be far ia eXcess oil
the above figure. for new pupils nave
been coming at every session since the
first day.
he increase ia attendance has been
more noticeable in the upper grades ana
in the " ard schools than anywhere else
In the high school especially hes the lu-
cresse been reu.arA aUie and shows that
the habit of pupils dropping cut when
they reach the higher grades is becoming
more and more a thing OF the past. All
the upper grades show a very large at
tendance this year.
In the ward school the increase has
been more noticeable at the Launum
school than at any OF the Others and the
sound sense the board used when It built
the new school so lar toward the limit
OF the locality last year is very evident
now A. the new houses which have been
erected In that vicinity this summer
show clearly that the school Is neces-
sirv there. The children living at Flor
ida all attend the Laurium school ana
the result Is that the building is crowded

10 pupils. There are 2so pupils IN the
building.
