AN UNHEALTHY JOB.
Door Openers in Big stores Do Their
Work Between Hot and
Cold Air.

Door openers have the most I'M
healthy job on the list of occupations.
During the holiday rush all the big
stores have from two to a dozen such
employees. They run principally to
boys. In the great Office buildings men
do the work. Door openers are on
their feet from seven o'clock in the
morning till business closes at six in
the evening, and it is pull and push
on the heavy doors all day long, al
lowing persons to enter or leave the
stores and buildings, without physical
effort or without coming into contact
with the cold latch handles. The work
is poorly paid for. The wages are
lower than those given to the ordi-
nary laborer, and the men and boys
engaged in it are supposed to keep
themselves neatly clad and immaculate
in linen. In some places uniforms are
provided for them.
Door openers are frequently miss
ing from their posts. New faces smile
on the regular frequenters or tenants
of buildings, who, passing in, inquire:
Where's john" or "Tin?" or what
ever the missing door openers name
may have been.
Pneumonia" is the general an
swer, and sufficient explanation.
For the door opener is exposedt to the
coolest blasts of winter and the COM
Portable heat that ome from within.
His temperature is subject to such
constant changes that he cannot dress
against" his conditions and sickness
comes inevitably.

Commissary General Eagan, as Eagan
offered to Gen. Miles, by his black
gualdism in calling him numerous
kinds of liar. in his testimony before
the War Investigators. If Alger thinks
that the people will allow this dis
graceful affair 10 end with Eagan's
revision of his testimony, he will find
himself much mistaken. Eagan de-
serves punishment, just as Alger does,

worse it will be i'm the end for the adj

this particular case, Eagan knew that

SENATOR HOAR's speech in the Sen
ale, and Ex-senator Edmund's letter,
which originally appeared in the New
York lpOrid, were strong and to our
mind unanswerable arguments against
the annexation of the Philippines.
While reading this cOgent reasoning
against the introduction of unworthy
citizenship into our body polite we
could not divest ourselves Of the
thought that these two WORTHLESS were
active instruments in thrusting a like
possibility upon the negroes of the
south knowing as they must that they
were no more ready for it then than
are the mixed races Of the Philippines
now. And yet this is day Of broad
ening and enlarging charity so we will
throw the pure, white mantle DER
