A tailor at Morgantown advertises
in the New DOMINION thus: "Leave

Mayor U. S. Kendall is ssill at
Pittsburg undergoing medical treat
ment, and will be obliged to stay
there for week or two longer Mr..
Kendall went to that city believing
that the trouble il his eye was simply
the result of a cold, but the specialist
treating him soon discovered that it
was occassioacd by poison. How his
eye came in contact with it is a mys-
terry. The pecialist gave him but
little consolation at the outset, but we
learn that he told His Honor few
days ago that he could save the optic.
G. w. Cramer, of Piedmont, arrived
here on Monday at noon, being en-
route to Morganlown to attend the
military ball there that night. He
expected to go to the modern Athens
on the 2:l5 train, and was on the
platform waiting for it, but when the
east bound B. & 0 express pulled in
at 1853 he stepped on to it. How far
it carried him before he discovered his
mistake we do not know The Nor
gantown papers say he was at the ball
If this be true he had long and
muddy drive through the country, for
If he returned to this place on train
of some kind he got no further by
such means. There was no train to
Morgantown until the next morning.

ter, who would in all probability conhscate his clothing and fire him out into the street to starYe. v
 So Jack lies and is shipped, joining bis new vessel with but few clothes in bis kit and in debt to the boarding master, who mas been known to hang on to sail or for several years, "roping him in' ev- cry time he arrived in New York and looking upon him as a human chattel whom he owned body and soul. Many a seaman, to get relief from this bondage, has deserted in foreign port, and saeri- ficlng whatever was due him--generally precious little-has sought employment in some other vessel.
 There are exceptions to every rule, and it must not be assumed that all sailors are improvident, shiftless and incorporate. The schoolmaster has made his way even into the forecastle, and seamen are not so densely ignorant they used to be. Some are so shrewd as to be proof against all efforts of sea pirates and land sharks to despoil them. Some of them have money in the bank, a chest of clothes, and are in the line of promotion for officers. These are Americans, who have adopted a ma riners life for the love of it, and are de- termined to become captains. When you consider what they go through and how

small the compensation is for the perls and priyations encountered, you must in- deed admire their courage and persever- ance.
 The rank and file of the crews of Ameri- can ships in the foreign trade are aliens and their lot is indeed hard. They go to sea, as has been said, with but few rags to their backs. They are forced by stern necessity to resort to the slop chest, which is filled with high-priced garments of the worst material Flannel shirts and trous- CTS manufactured, as the sailors say, of "bull's wool and oakum;" boots with soles as sappy as brown paper, and so on all down the list.
 It is the policy of the captain to make his crew as discontented as possible during the passage out, so that they may desert when they reach port. The captain then obtains more perquisites by the shipping of new crew while the ship-owner is in pocket to the extent of the wages due the deserters.
 Sailors often suffer at the hands of Unit ed States consuls abroad, where the latter act as shipping commissioners Various acts of injustice are committed, consuls almost invariably siding with the captains and ignoring the crews. Little is heard of these wrongful acts, for a sailor is long, suffering being, and rarely kicks.

lows so common among seafarers. The shrewd captain knows better than to try the game on some tough sea lawyer who has been through the mill before and has come out right end up.
 A sailor before a shopping commissioner is like fish out of water He Is both nerv- ous and bewildered. He is in awe of con- sttuted authority, and he is, as a rule, utterly incapable of doing sum in sim pie addition.
 Here, John Jones, you have drawn S2o cash, you have had s15 in clothes from the slop chest and you've got $40 due you. Is that right2 Come, hurry up, now and don't take all day. Here's your money. Next!"
 By this summary process the business is soon accomplished, and under the con-
The age-herald., 1898-03-27

voy of the watchful Clearinghouse run ner the simple sailor is led back to the groggery. Before he is permitted, how ever, to take fresh nip of his old enemy he has to settle up with the boarding mas ter who collects the amount of the loan and also the price of his board and room from the day he caine ashore to the time he was paid off. He then persuades Jack to leave in his care the bulk of the money that remains in order that he may not be buncoed. Then Jack resumes his orgy, which, happily for his health and his nor als, is only brief one, for his money melts like thin ice under midsummer sum shine and as soon as his pockets are empty he is like dead cock in the pit neither useful nor ornamental
 It now comes to pass that the board ing-house, once so eager to open its hos pitable doors to Jack when "homeward bound and flush of cash, is just as anx- ious to close them on him and give him the key Of the street now that he is "out- ward bound" and hard up. But he is still of some money value to the land sharks In the good old days of "shang-haling' he was worth far more than he is at the present time, but that heroic method of shipping a crew is luckily obsolete and

 The boarding master keeps a watchful eye on all vessels taking in cargo for for eign ports He knows that they cannot sail away without crews. He goes aboard and pays his respects to the skipper. He tells him he can find as smart a ships com pany as ever focked around a duff kid, and offers him certain amount of cash down for head money as the price of the privilege of providing the crew.
 Some captains resent this as an insult and order the fellow ashore, but as gen. eral thing commanders of vessels, who are none too liberally paid, look upon this blood money" as it is sometimes called, as one of the legitimate perquisites of their calling, and promptly close on the offer.
 The amount charged is generally $5 head The boarding master charges Jack s10 and deducts it from the cash advance made to the sailor by the skipper when the articles are signed It is the duty of the shipping commissioner to ask Jack if he has paid or promised to pay anything for getting a ship. Of course, he answers no. If he admitted having been victimized he would not be allowed to ship and would then be in the power of the boarding mas
