EMPLOYES MADE HAPPY.
John Wanamaker Distributed Nearly
 S19,000 Among His Salespeople.

Philadelphia, Feb. 12-John Wana- maker today distributed among the employees of his big Philadelphia store nearly S19,000. This was a fulfil1ment of an offer made early last December to divide among the salespeople of all departments doing more business in December. 1897, than in the cores bonding month of 1896, the profit upon the excess sales prorata with their sal aries. Besides this, he offered prizes amounting to $2,400 to employees other than salespeople who distinguished themselves in expediting the holiday business. Over a hundred cash boys benefited by the latter proposition.
 MT Wanamaker met the salespeople in the carpet department after the close of business this evening, and made the presentation. He said in part:
 'I would like to have from you sug- gestions as to how to make this busi- ness great family business, for there

WAR SHIPS IN THE GULF.
The Battle Ship Maine Will Not Go to
 New Orleans.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The battle ship Maine, now at Havana, is not to go to New Orleans during Mardi Gras, as has been reported. Secretary Long has been arranging program for the participation of some of the war ships in the seasons festivities in the sou h. and has assigned some of the smaller craft to the work, deeming them much better adapted for such service than the big and unwieldy battle ships According to orders sent today to the commander-in-chief of the north At lantic squadron, Admiral Sicard, at Tortugas, he will send either the De- troit or Marblehead, cruisers, to New Orleans. The Texas, second class bat tie ship, or the Nashville, gun boat is to go to Galveston, Texas, and one of the torpedo boats is to go to Mo bile. It may be that some of the re- mainder of the torpedo boat fotilla will also go to the places named in company with the larger craft The admiral is left to select the most suit dUlS duu dfdildUiG Ol Iu0 CTdIL uduGQ.
 The detailed report from Admiral Sicard of the recent movements of the ships of the north Atlantic squadron, just received at the navy department, clears away the reports that have found circulation of damage sustained by the big ships while on the drill grounds in Florida. The admiral says that the Iowa and the Texas touched an unknown shoal in the harbor of Tortugas while drilling, but came off without any damage whatever, as es- tablished by court of inquiry This shoal had an area of about seventy feet. but the ships were unfortunate enough to find this comparatively small spot in the large harbor. The Indiana had made some repairs to her tubes, a routine proceeding that is al- ways going on on man of war when time serves, but the ship was in per feet cruising condition, according to the admiral's report

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Eighty-Ninth Anniversary of His Birth
 Celebrated.

Many an Illinoisan will write to friends and relatives in the Sucker state that they attended a picnic in Phoenix yesterday, and will add that the day was per excellence. It was sure enough summer day and 400 1llinoisans were out to enjoy it and pay homage to that great and good good man Abraham Lincoln, whose memory not only every former, as we'll as present resident of Illinois, but ev- cry American citizen loves to honor. In this country there are fully one thousand Suckers" their children and grand children included. They are glad to be here and they were more than delighted to have the opportunity to celebrate February 12. the eighty ninth anniversary of Abraham Lin coln's birthday.
 The association was informally or ganized in 1889, but not until 1891 was it regularly made a permanent organization. The membership has been growing, as the report of the sec retary at each meeting will show. The regular day for a picnic is in October, but in 1897 it was held on Thanksgiving day. Yesterday was the first time the lllinoisans observed Lincoln's birth day anniversary here. The member ship is fully 400, adding the names registered on Friday. R. H. Greene is president, James McMillan, vice-presi- dent; c. A. Broomell. secretary; M. w. Messenger, treasurer. Executive com mittee, S. M. McCowan, G. H. Clayson and R. H. Patrick, and officers ex- officio members.
 The auditorium of the old park theater east end, was wisely chosen as the place for the picnic. Three tables were laden with good things extracted from the lunch baskets brought from the homes of members, where the housewife, some ones sister or daughter had prepared the edi- bles. The tables were set twice and still there was plenty left. After the tables were cleared the days pIo- gramme of exercises was announced to the audience, occupying seats or ac- cepted a position standing The h. dian school band, under the leader ship of Professor James Devine, which had already discoursed several airs, took its place on the stage and played selections at intervals.
 The first toast was: "The Day We Celebrate, Lincoln's Birthday" re- sponse by ex-Governor John M. Ham ilton of Illinois. The gentleman's ad- dress is quoted:

THE PITTsBURG CATASTROPHE
The List of Dead and Missing Grows
 Longer.

Pittshurg, Pa, Feb. 12.-The results of Wednesday nights terrible fire and the subsequent explosions on Pike street continue to grow in all of their narrowing details. At 10 o'clock to- night eighteen bodies had been re- moved. The following dead were taken out today: William Edward Finch, fireman; George Edward New man of Philadelphia, Will F.

To this array have been added the following missing. re- ported since yesterday: James Gib- son, John Hunter, Charles Dauer, Robert McCabe. This swells the list of the missing to thirty five.

 "I congratulate you, for some will receive checks for as much as $10O and more and some are considerably un- der $100. I never felt more satisfac- tion in seeing nearly s19,0OO go out than I do in carrying out this holiday scheme of ours.''
 The profit was calculated on a 10 per cent basis, that is, that 10 per cent of all December sales was profit Thus the Wanamaker store sold nearly $200,000 more in December, 1897, than in the corresponding month of the previous year. There were 5,205 peo- pie employed during the holidays, more than ever before by 200. Those who worked in the evenings during the ten days prior to Christmas were given half day off, with pay, for every evening they worked. All em- ployes get two weeks vacation; those who have been in the Wanamaker ser vice two years receiving full pay dur ing vacation, and those who have not, receiving pay for part of the time, ac> cording to their terms of service.
 Heretofore MT. Wanamaker has given to the employees who worked in the evening a small commission on all sales during the ten days before Christmas. This years pay was a substitution for the old one, and will probably be continued in the future.
