A Prosperous Manufacturing CITY.

Brockton's prosperity is so closely al
lied to the prosperity of the shoe indus
try that Il Will, no doubt, prove q matter
Of interest TO large number OF people TO
learn the actual average earning capacity
OF each individual employed in the maxi
ing OF the world-faTned Brockton shoe.
For illustration: At the factory of the
w. L. Douglas Shoe company the pay
roll for the week ending Sept So exclud-
ing superintendent. foremen, statesmen,
and all clerical help, shows the average
earnings of the employees, large and
small, TO be S15.54 per week This was not
an extraordinary week. 1t was the GUS
tomary pay roll.
The amount earned per week, however.
does not always tell the story of pros
perity The number OF weeks employed
each year Is the determining factor in the
wage earners' prosperity. The Douglas
factory has been closed but one week
stock taking, and it will be closed but
three days the latter part OF December.
This would make but nine days out of
the year that the factory Is closed, which
Is surely as steady work as the most in
dustrious shoemaker could desire.
It is believed that the average pay and
the number of days worked Is larger at
the factory OF the w. L. Douglas Shoe
company than at any manufacturing In
stitution in Massachusetts.
Owing to increased business, another
addition Is 10 be made TO the Douglas
factory. 1t will be 100 feet long, 40 feet
wide, and five stories high; It Will be
ready for occupancy early in December.
This addition increases the capacity 20
per cent. The w. l.. Douglas Shoe COM
pany has the largest factory in the
world, producing an advertised line $3.50
and $500 shoes
Mr.. Douglas says that the prospect for
successful business for Brockton manu-
facturers was never so good as now, ana
that collections are better than Tor years.

Destroys Young Lohsters.

That cod eat young Holsters is a fact
established to the satisfaction of a
writer in an exchange quoted by the
Fishing Gazette. He says: THE cod
fish are feeding on the young Holsters
TO such an extent that 1t will not take
long to exterminate them. Through
the efforts of the United States fish
commission goldfish seem to have in
creased greatly in numbers. The fish
ermen around Block island and Watch
Hill say that cod are growing more
plentiful every year, and they say fur
Their that when dressing Goldfish they
frequently fnd young Holsters whole
inside of the larger fish. Evidently
young Holsters are becoming a deli
cate morsel for some of their com
panions of the sea. There is a prob
lem for the shellfsh commissioners to
solve in the artificial propagation of
the lobster. Old fishermen about
Watch Hill and vicinity tell me that
when they haul their lobster pots now
they get fifteen and twenty pounds
where they used to get 10O." The fish
ermen have no one to blame but tbam-
selves. When Holsters were plentiful
they would kill the egg-bearing lob
sters as nuisances and bait destroyers.
IL they had thrown them overheard the
result might have been different.

HER UNCLE'S JOKE.

mo, Kitty; you must never marry
without my consent. You are not in
love now, are you?"
why, no, uncle. How could l be
when l don't know any one"
That's so. You didn't have much
chance to fall in love at school, and
Your vacations were spent with me.
Now, Kitty, the man | want you to
marry is Mr.. Right"
Mr. Wright?"
Yes. You have never seen him?"
he asked, his eyes twinkllng.
mo. don't know any Mr.. Wright"
We'll, he's the man l want you to
marry. and If you do you shall have
every cent of my money"
But, uncle, have never seen him
and might not care for him, and IL l
did perhaps he wouldn't want me-"
"Oh, you'll fall in love with him fast
enough, and as for him not wanting
you-why, I'd like to find the man who
couldn't want Kitty Clinton, even IL she
didn't have nice pocketful of money.
But don't worry your pretty head about
him, for there's lots of time. Charlie
Emery Is coming here next week, and
you can have a good time with him and
we will see about Mr.. Right later on.
You remember Charlie, don't you?"

as she thought how he had chased her
through the fields, and when worn out
she had dropped down under a tree to
rest and have look at the picture un-
til he came up, tired and cross, to claim
1t. He had blushed as she handed it
back, asking, as that the future Mrs.
Emery?"

We'll, you needn't blush so. I'm a

There have been various stories
written about the stealing of the Bal
timore and Ohio Rail Road engines
at Martinsburg, w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp, who is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an Of
fetal of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries Of old en-
ployes who were at MaTtinsburg at
the time the incident happened and
they say that on June 10, 1861, 200
men of Genl Stonewall Jackson's
command were detailed to destroy the
Baltimore and Ohios equipment at
Martinsburg. They piled wood and
coal over Al engines and nearly 400
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve Of the engines, however.
were seriously damaged, and these not
by the fire, but because the water was
first let out of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived in Martinsburg on August is,
1861, and remained there until the fol-
lowing March, engaged in removing
engines, machinery, etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike, either to Staunton, Win

point 80 horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station,
and took away all machinery and
tools which were aftel ward used In the
Southern arsenals. The country around
Martinsburg is extremely hilly and the
work of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability. 1t has been cur
rently reported in late years that one
of the locomotives was the Winans
camel-back No. 80 which at that time
was numbered II, but Col. Sharp did
not care for this class Of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
gines. There was only one eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No. "a.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master of Trans
portation.

A Rainy Day In Manila.

To any one who enjoys the funny
side Of life as we'll as the pathetic,
and sees the ridiculous in everything,
a rainy day on the Escolta is well
worth seeing. Perhaps the most strik-
ing feature to an American is the APP
parent unconcern with which the ma
tives take the "cloud-burst," for no
other name is applicable to the rain
as it comes down in Manila; also the
numerous ways they have Of keeping
dry. The most approved fashion for
a Quilez driver is to roll his trousers
well up above the knee, without shoe
or stocking, don a macintosh, and he
is thoroughly equipped for a heavy
storm. If he is not lucky enough to
own macintosh, it doesn't seem to
matter much, for he takes the rain as
a natural consequence and says moth

peared until at dinner, when she was
her old mischievous self again. He
had left the next morning and she had
never seen him since, but she had heard
of him frequently. After graduating
from college he had gone abroad and
but lately returned. Miss Emery had
married a college friend Of his. Where
did he keep that picture now?
Now, Kitty" said her uncle, run
away and don't worry about Mr.. Right.
He'll be your ideal. I'll promise you"
well, WE'LL" he said, as she left the
room. II thought she'd see through
the joke. Guess I'll let 1t go now. My
experience is that If you want a couple
to marry. make them think 1t impossi-
bie and then nothing can prevent them.
But she'll go and fall in love with the
man want her to, thinking Mr.. Right
really exists"
But Kitty did let it worry her, and
again and again she questioned her
uncle about Mr.. Wright (as she be-
lieved his name to be), but his answers
gave her little or no satisfaction. Fin
slly she determined she would forget
him. while Charlie was with them. any
way.
When she saw Charlie she said she
would never have taken that bearded
mar for the smoothfaced hoy she had
known four summers before. She her
self was the same little sprite, with her
sparkling eyes and mass Of dark brown
hnir. When she inquired after his
"fair cousin" he laughingly replied
that he had spent the last Sunday with
her and Tom. "What a chase you led
me that day, and / never told you, but
that night l received a letter from
home telling me of her marriage, and
was so cross tore the picture up"
Thus they talked of the past and the
many pleasant days they had spent to-
gether. That night in her own room

DEWEY IN AN EMERGENCY.
How He CircumveRted n Desertion Con
spiracy After the Civil War.


One striking characteristic OF the
admiral is the readiness with which he
meets every emergency, says Leslie's
Weekly. He is resourceful as we'll as
prompt in action. An illustration OF
this occurred during a cruise which
Dewey took after the civil war, in the
Mediterranean, on the old ship Canaan
daigua. The war fever had died out,
and men frequently deserted. On men
of-war, boats cannot be lowered with
out an order, except in case of a man
overheard. Several malcontents in the
crew one night, therefore, raised the
man overheard" cry, lowered boat
and scuttled off into the darkness.
Dewey was executive oficer OF the ship,
and was called from his berth. Though
even then particular as to dress, he
didn't care about uniform when there
was quick work to be done, and he ap-
peared clad only in his night shirt. He
rushed up to the quarterback in half
gale of wind and promptly took COM
mand in spite of his curious appear
ance. He knew his men thoroughly,
and acted promptly in spite of the
darkness. Come back here, jim
Brown, Tom Robinson, and the rest of
you," he shouted, and punctuated his
remarks with three shots from his re-
volver. The shots, the ghostly figure
on the quarterback, and the sudden
use OF their names startled the men
into obedience, and they came sneaking
back to the ship, while Dewey and his
novel uniform retired once more below.

Many Districts Placed in an Embarrass-

NAany DbtfiCtS fiaceu Ill an HsHlDaTTAes-
ing Situation.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Virginia City, Oct 16.-The recent de-
clsion OF the supreme court declaring
void and imperative that portion of the
statutes authorizing the levy of school
tax by special election does not affect
the Virginia City district to such an
alarming extent as it does in many in
stances in different cities and towns
throughout the state, but it places a
number of the districts adjacent to
Virginia City in embarrassing conditions
and unless some provision is made for
the continuance and maintenance of
the schools OF these districts by the
citizens and residents themselves they
will undoubtedly be compelled to close
within the next few months on account
of lack of funds to complete the term.
Janet L. Davis, county superintendent
of Madison county, relative to the SUI
preme court decision last Saturday ex-
pressed herself as follows to a CORE
spondent of the Standard:
Regarding the late decision an
nounced by the supreme court relative
to section 1910 of the school law, I wish
to say that it will financially embar-
rass number of the school districts OF
Madison county, depending on that
particular section, to carry on the con-
tracted term of school. A few dis
tricts have built, or are intending to
build. school houses by raising money
by special tax as provided for in sec
ton 1910. What are school trustees,
who have had a school house erected
under such circumstances, to do in or
der to meet the Indebtedness? The tax
is levied and cannot be collected. In
one case the school house is built and
the contractor must be paid. Trustees
hardly care to assume the RESPONSE
bility of advancing money, nor do citi-
zens under the present extraordinary
circumstances"
Joseph Smith IL, chairman of the
educational board of Virginia City,
stated that the funds now on hand and
the amount which would be collected
would be sufficient to complete the
present term of school in this district,
with the exception Of probably one
month, or two at the outside THE
school tax received in Virginia City"
said Mr.. Smith, from property con-
trolled by the railroads and foreign
corporations amounts to but very lit
tie as compared with other sections.
But generally speaking, an extra ses-
sion of the legislature, called for the
especial purpose Of remedyng this de-
feet, is the only way out of the dilem-
ma that l can see at the present time"
