EMPLOYMENT OF DRINKERS.
In the Majority of Cases Employers
Will Not Hire Them-ResuIt
of an Inquiry,

circular containing several in
quiries was sent out by the United
States commissioner of labor several
months ago to persons and companies
employing a large number of men.
The object of the investigation thus in
stituted was to ascertain something
about the relations of the drink habit
to labor. Over 1000 establishments,
which employ nearly 2,0O0,O men, re-
piled The answers have almost the
significance of a census therefore.
Commissioner Wright has just pub
lished summary of them.
Out of 6,976 employers 1868 said that
they were accustomed to consider
whether a person was in the habit of
drinking when they were asked to give
any sort of a place. The employers
who did not take this matter into con-
sideration numbered 1913. The indus
tries represented in this report were
agriculture, manufactures, mining and
quarrying, trade and transportation
The largest percentage of employers
who inquired about drinking was
among those engaged in trade and
transportation.
The means used to find out about an
applicants habits were usually direct
inquiry, reputation and personal ap-
pearance. The reasons assigned for
taking mans habits into considera-
ton were to guard against accidents"
because of responsibility of position"
and because of unreliability of drink
ing men," Dishonesty, abuse of ami
mails, the employers disgust for drink
ing men and the importance of exam
pie to other employees were also urged
in explanation of the practice.
In reply TO the question whether men
were likely to spend their money OF
drink Immediately after drawing their
pay, 1897 establishments sect an af-
frmatiye answer, 2,766 a negative one
and 1862 said nothing. Only a small
number gave any data as to the means
resorted to for tie correction of the
evil. But discharge, change of the day
for paying off, less frequent payment
of wages and moral suasion were the
chief remedies intentionally. Y.

DEWEY ORDERED HIM AWAY.
The American AdmiraI's Curt Answer
to an Eccentric Austrian
NObleman.

Count and Countess Festetics, who
have had trouble at nearly every port
in the South seas where they have
touched in their sailing yacht, the
Tolua, recently ran up against Admiral
Dewey at Manila and were peremptor
lily ordered out of the harbor after
one-day's stay. The countess is the
daughter of Millionaire Lloyd Tevis,
and ever since her marriage to Count
Festetics, AN Austrian nobleman, the
couple have been sailing through the
southern seas. They have had several
mutinies of their crew because the
count is very eccentric and very eco
nomical. They have also had several
narrow escapes from being wrecked.
Their vessel arrived at Hong Kong re
Gently and the titled couple at once
longed to go to Manila and see the city
which had just fallen into American
hands.
When the yacht entered the harbor
the count expected to be received with
a salute, as both he and the countess
knew many of the naval officers in Ad-
miral Dewey's fleet. As the Tolua
sailed up the bay to Cavite about dusk
strong searchlight swept over her
and in the fierce light the count de-
scribed a big war vessel approaching.
He fancied she was coming to do him
honor, when suddenly six-nch shell
went screaming over the Tolua's bow,
and struck water not far from the
yacht. The helmsman in his fright put
about promptly. A long boat soon ap-
peared with a very dictatorial officer
on board who came on board and in
sisted on examining the yachts papers.
He then CURLY order her to drop an
Choir for the night. The count ascer-
tanned that it was the Concord which
had fired across his bows.
Next morning the Concord steamed
toward Manila and the count decided
to go nearer Cavite, but had only saile,
about two miles when the Concord was
down upon him again. The same officer
came aboard and ordered the count to
leave the harbor. He pleaded the
necessity for getting fresh water and
sent a message TO Admiral Dewey ask
ing for this favor. When the admiral
learned that the count had voyaged to
Manila simply to satisfy his curiosity
and thereby had given his feet another
vessel to look after and protect, when
he had use for every ship in his fleet
for more important duty, he was very
indignant. He sent back this message:
You will be given until tomorrow
night at eight o'clock to get water;
after that your vessel must leave the
harbor. This is final" The Tolua got
the water and sailed for Hong-Kong.
Now Count Festetics is going about in
the English settlement declaring that
Dewey is a martinez who should be
promptly suppressed.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

SLIDING TOWARD DEEP HOLE.
A Boys Experience at a SawmiII
Warns Him of Great
Moral Peril.

"Buzz-z-z-z!" went the old saw
mill, and Grandpa jameson ran it. AS
the sharp saw buzzed away, the heap of
sawdust below grew steadily. There
was another heap that grew, though
at intervals, asthe first heap was trans
ferred to it, and this was behind the
mill. 1t was an immense heap, sloping
down to the river below, and not far
from the base of the heap was Deep
Hole" Grandpa Jameson was care
full to cut down this big heap and cart
off a section every month, but some
times, when he was very busy, the re-
moval might be delayed a few days.
The miller knew that this might
bring to somebody a danger, for if
person should venture out upon the
unstable pile, it would let him down
further and further, and what about
Deep Hole below waiting to receive
him?
81 had a tech of trouble myself" he
would say, 'for one day got out there
and began to slide down, and might
have gone into Deep Hole, if a Gus
toner had not seen me, run pole down
TO me, which l grappled, and then he
drew me up"
And the morning of this story, whom
did he see playing about the summit
of that heap?
His grandson. Henry Jameson.
Good mornin', Henry!"
Good mornin', grandpa!"
Come in. won't you?"
Eyes. sir"
"Well, Henry" asked grandpa when
the boy was in the mill, what's the
news?"
Nothing, unless you mean my invi-
tation to Mr.. William Rogers dinner
party to the boys and their friends to-
morrow afternoon"
Then you're goin'? Wall, look out
for Mr.. Rogers punch bowl, They say

he has it out every chance he can get.
Does he offer it to the boys?"
"Oh, only sips"
Sips! Don't you tech it. You get
a-goin' and you may not be able to
stop"
But, grandpa, a sip, what harm will
that do?"
But sip starts. You get a-goin',
and will you stop SO easy? Every sot
once was jest a slipper"
'oh, grandpa, you-you're too par
tlcular."
"Buzz-z-z-z!" went the old saw
just then, and it cut through the words
of the takers, and the conversation
came to sudden end.
In a few minutes work was inter
rupted again. and in the hush of the
,sawmiH, Grandpa Jameson heard a
shrek.
"Help-p-p!"
MY" exclaimed, Grandpa Jameson.
"It is that boy. l know, in the heap
back of the MILL"
He seized a rope lying on the floor
rushed to the rear of the mill, and.
looking down the slope of the big heap,
he saw boy with scared, staring eyes
'clawing al the heap with his hands and
trying to plant his feet firmly. but all
in vain! Below was Deep Hole, black
and threatening!
Here, Harry" shouted the miller,
grip this fast!"
Oh, how good looked the rope that
came sliding down the slope of the
heap and touched Henry IS outs tTetched
hands. eagerly cIawing away. How
he gripped that rope!
Hold on tight, and I'll haul We up!"
Grandpa Jameson assured him. 1--WE
got some help"
1t was Mr.. Rogers who, passing by,
heard the shout, and came just I'M time
to pull on the rope.
Up-up slowly came the frightened
boy. and he finally stood in safety in
the mill.
Look out, Henry" said Mr. Rogers.
'"Look out another time"
There. Henry. am going to cart
off that stuff to-day" said grandpa,
when alone with Henry. And you,
when you go to Mr.. Rogers dinner
party don't 81 p any punch. When one
starts, they may go sliding down to-
wards Deep Hole-the drunkard's deep
hole"
The morrow came. The dinner party
assembled. The host was in excellent
spirits.
