stove in, flooding the whole cabin and
the decks buckled and cracked, letting
the water through. We saw the craft

oil from closet pipes and from scuppers,

the life of the vessel.

Army of UnemploYea

Boston, Feb. IA small army of un-

ing to the state house all night in order
that they might be on hand when the
doors opened this forenoon. Fully 1900
mechanics out of employment comprised
the gathering, which extended from
Mount Vernon street entrance down
Beacon hill for two blocks.
The men were there because the civil
service commissioners this morning
were to register 500 men for the exam
nations in the mechanical department.
Painters, masons, ironworkers. plumb
ers and tinsmiths were the tradesmen
wanted.
Nearly all semeed to be in ignorance
of the fact that but 500 names We're re-
CURED and many of the men who had
been without work for months were
desperate. This morning the men were
admitted in order and the 500 names
were soon recorded. More than 1000 were
turned away. Some of those who were
registered may fail of the required per-
centage necessary to obtain position
and those who do pass may yet wait
months before being put to work.
