of a dark lantern. A man who was in
her bedroom made a wild rush for the

cratic leaders. They also say that the
defeat Of either of the regular candi-
dates means chronic quarrels discords
and future defeats
Work is being less vigorously pressed
on the metropolitan basin now that the
season has advanced. The approach of
cold weather finds many of the laborers
in a pltiful condition. Some of them
have no money, and those who have
money have not enough to carry them
through the winter.
The laDorer is fortunate who has been

through whom the contractors hire
their help, to keep them shifting con-
stantly The better paid men have
earned $1.35 a day, working ten hours,
but have lost many days work on ac-
count of waits required for one reason
or another, and because of the frequent
storms. The average rate of pay per
month las not exceeded $40 or $25, from
fhrnnDh
shanty bosses, have in most instances
deducted shanty rent and board at the
rate Of So a week, the men buying their
food in a raw state and cooking it

the extreme. Young O'Malley at the
goal did In a measure distinguish him
self but the others worked more like
wooden men on stone barges than polo
players
Manager Blake realizes that the team
is deficient, and is trying to strengthen
