TAKES THEIR JOBS AWAY
LABOR-sAVING DEVICE ON THE
WATER FRONT.
Natives and Portuguese Spend the Day
Watching It-New Method of Putting
Coal Into a Steamer

The new machine with which the
transport Hancock is being coaled at
the Pacific Mail wharf is a labor saving
device, and it is watched all day by
crowd of natives and Portuguese whose
Jobs it has taken The men look on
with anything but good wishes for the
machine and they laugh and shout
every time ii breaks down. Instead Of
a crowd of twenty men being employed
putting coal on the big steamer there
are only half dozen and the rest, haV-
ing nothing to do, spend the day critiz-
ing the new invention. 1t is not that
they cannot get jobs, for labor is scarce
on the front, but the jobs they have
been used to have been taken away,
and they would like to see the machine
smashed to bits.
The new coaler is the invention Of
SteYedore McCabe. 1t carries the coal
into the transport along a belt. 1t was
calculated that the expense would be
about 81 cents a ton less than by the
old method and the contract was given
10 the owners of the machine as the
lowest bidder. So far owing to slight
nperfectlons which can be remedied
the device has done rather slow work
and in the case Of a transport that was
in a hurry, it would have cost much
more in delay than it saves in labor.
There have been many stoppages, as
the belt catches, and the power appears
TO be insufficient 1t is thought that
when the defects are corrected the ma
chine will do much cheaper work, in
quick time, than the basekts and
shoYels used heretofore. The Hancock
is taking about five hundred tons Of
coal

village.
The readers OF the SENTINEL will
recall to mind that this paper has in
the past strongly advocated the
inauguration of this system by the
merchants of this town, as a means
of attracting trade. 1t has preached
the adoption Of the plan in season
and out of season, but apparently TO
no purpose, as up 10 date no mer-
chant has pot it in operation.
Now that it has been iuaugnrated
by pioneer in the village OF Lock.

town may set the example Once

Our Hoodlulns.

G Now and then we hear complaints
of the misdoings Of crowd of bo, $
who parade the streets after night
fall, making night hideous and inter.
ferlDg with inotieusive colored citiz
ems. especially those coming in from
the country to make purchases on
Saturday nights.
These boys need to be lookei after
by their parents. They are out Of
place on the streets after nightfaIl,
and especially Ont of place when
engaged in the reprehensible pastime
of painting the town red" To allow
them to go on thus unrcstrained and
unguided by parental authority and
solicitude is to train tn IN for greater
mischief, not to say crime, when they
gov into men.
As a means Of putting stop TO
this growing evil it might tie advisa.
ole 10 have additional police force on
Saturday nights, and to run in all
miscrtants. \ few doses of the May
or's choice remedy, applied in the
morning after nights unrest in the
town lock up viii nip iD the bud the
hood.nmistic tendencies in the average
boy.
OF course, this remedy is recon
mended oalv in case Uf fai!ure to
administer by the pater tan.ltas the
more etlectual remedy known as the
parental process of tanning kids -
r. medy which, when jidiciously
applied, usually brings about good
results.
And. again, these remedies are only
recommended in the case IF BOYS
who have not sufficient manliness and
moral courage to break away from
their evil ways, TO walk in the path
of righteousness.
Our town is progressive aud get
ting larger by dcgsees, but it is yet
too small to tolerate the presence Of
hOodlums in the community.
So boys, learn to behave and be
little men, and earn the respect of tie
good cilzens.
