beat out ''Dutchy" Wilhelm's team.

his appearance since grounding day.

ented bowling shoe that can be made
to fit any foot, and the sole can be
slid back or forward, according to the
nearness OF the foul line. They are
now on sale at Wee Gee.
That Charley fleming is the surest

The fact that the All Wheelings had
hot time last Tuesday was proven
by certain member, who does business

winter at his home in McKeesport near
Pittsburg, is in receipt Ola contract
from John B. Day. He was considering
the offer from the manager of the

A SUCCESSFUL LEAGUE.

The Mozart Park summer bowling tour
nament of 1898 was decidedly the most
successful warm weather league ever
BOWED in this city. The league was
made up of twelve clubs and all We're
true blue with the exception of the
Tidal Waves. who 'funked" quite early
in the season.
This action of the Tidal Wave club has
caused Mr.. Handlan to decide to refuse
the entries of lame ducks" for the COM
ing tournament, and none but good, re-
liable teams will be considered. This rule
will be adhered to even If only eight or
ten clubs are accepted as nothing is more
discouraging that a club of CUTTERS"

Acid dyspepsia commonly called heartburn or

too weak to digest it, the food remains until fer

often present. This condition soon becomes

erai. paymaster general. enEineer-in-chief
and chief constructor are to be regarded
as additional titles. to be employed when
their use is appropriate. Such a cOnstruc-
tiOn. sustaining the provisions of the old
and the new enactments alike. is. on the
contrary. fully sustained by precedent. the
officers filling these positions being hereto
fore addressed. according to the occasion,
by the titles prescribed in section l4Il, or
by their respective titles in the corps to
which they belong.
From the authorities and precedents here
inbefoTe cited it seems clear that. the rank
of rear admiral being conferred upon Off
GERS serving as chiefs of bureau. they are
entitled to be 50 addressed unless such con-
straction is forbidden by the clause Of the
pruViSO Of section 4 Of the personnel act,
which prescribes that neither shall this
act be construed as changing the titles OF
officers il the staff corps of the navy"
No such position chief of bureau is pro-
Vided for in any staff corps. Ii is true that
staff officers are eligible for appointments
to certain of these positions, and. as a mat
ter Of fact, at this time it happens that an
officer of the corps of civil engineers is
serving as the chief of the bureau of yards
and docks, a position which has heretofore
and which may hereafter be filed by an
officer of the line. To hold that the present
chief of the bifreau is not entitled to be ad-
dressed as rear admiral. and that his sue
ceSSor, if a line officer, would be entitled
to that distinction. appears to be obviously
at variance with the plain intention of Con-
Sress as expressed in the statute in ques-
tion.
The statement contained in the bureaus
letter that should il be argued that chiefs
of bureaus are civil officers of the govern
ment and not staff officers of the navy
the bureau would cite the decision of the
Supreme Court in the case of Smith against
Whitney ct al, il may be proper TO state
that, no such argument having been ad-
Vanced or considered. the case cited has no
application to the matter.
For the reasons hereinbefore set forth
the bureau is advised that it was not in
error in addressing the chiefs Of bureau
by the title of rear admiral and that
such form of address may and should be
employed on all suitable occasions; that is
to say, when communications are intended
for the individual officer serving as chief
Of bureau. 1t is, however, proper to add
that it is not the purpose of this decision
to modify the requirements of paragraph
II, article 1G1S, Of the Navy Regulations
in pursuance of which all strictly official
communications intended for chiefs of bu-
reau as such, lie, relating to the office and
not to the man, should be addressed as pre-
scribed in that paragraph.
Very respectfully.

in Massachusetts. In Germany, she said,
the conditions were very desirable. But she
vas satisfied the general factory buildings
in this country were far ahead of any 9TH
ers in the world. Even in England the fac
tory conditions are not equal to those in
this country.
In Massachusetts, the general spirit on the
part of the employers is favorable to pro-
viding desirable conditions for the women
and children.
She believed that in time there should be
Il reduction of hours of labor. She told of
experiment in factory of Massachu-
sCtts in which the hours had gradually
been reduced from ten to eight. and yet
the output of work had not been reduced.
In this case the working women had been
paid by piece work, and they objected to
having their hours shortened, because they
thought it would decrease their wages. But
they We're now doing the same work and
earning the same money in eight hours
that they We're formerly. Such experiments,
she said. were going on all over the coun-
try, and she believed they would demon
strate the deSirability of shorter day for
working people. She said such experiments
in England years ago had brought about
the ten-hour day of working men there.
Speaking of domestic labor in Massachu-
SSitts, Mrs. Ames said while there is much
difficulty in securing skilled domestic serv-
ice yet the cooking schools were remedying
this condition. making domestic labor a pro-
fession, as nursing has become.
Mrs AmeS was Il believer in trades union
ism.
The Sweat Shops.
Speaking of the sweat shops she said that
this class of work was largely confined to
Russian Jews, who, though very filthy,
We're very Industrious and thrifty. The in
sanitary conditions had been driven from
the trade, but she could not say that sweat
ing-low wages had been done away with
among the manufacturers of clothing The
sweating was done away with to a large
extent, at least, because of late years the
lower class of foreigners had not been COM
ing in and those who had been here for
years were learning to speak English were
becoming intelligent, and could no longer
be cheated in the matter of wages She
said the ultimate unity of all these people
and their Americanism seemed to be as
sured by the operation of the public schools
where the foreign and the New England
boys all come together and sit side b. SIDE
1hey all learn to sing America"
There was considerable discussion of the
consumers League, or white list" which
is being developed in Massachusetts in or
DER to secure list for purchases of dealers
who treat their employees justly Mrs
Ames did not think socialism is increasing
among working people of her state, but
said as long as they could get good wages
they were satisfied that they could deal
with their social conditions as they exist
today.
