AN SIGHT-HOUR WORK DAY.
Hundreds of Craftsmen in New En-
gland Secure 1t without Much Trou-

Boston, May 2.-The eight-hour
day was established Tuesday in al
most every district in New England
where journeymen of the building
trades have organized, and the con
cesson was obtained with little fric-
.tion and only few strikes. The
most widespread demand for the
eight-hour day was made some
weeks ago by the granite cutters
throughout New England and, while
at most places the demands were
granted, there were a few echoes of
tnat contention yesterday.
The most important of the strikes
in this industry was at Barre, Vt,
where the granite polishers went out.
and a conference in the afternoon
failed to bring about a settlement.
AT Lowell an iucipient strike was
settled, but small strikes at Milford
and Manchester, \. H.; Sullivan and
Franklin, Ne, and at Fail River
Mass, are still III force.
In Quincy, where the cutters have
been out for three months, a confer
ence yesterday brought no result.
Norcross Bros, of Worcester, also
were unable to settle with their cut
ters at the Milford quarries. Other
wise, the indications were that nearly
every strike would be settled with
little delay.
In Providence, Pawtucllet and Bos-
ton there were strikes in other trades,
chiefly among painters, carpenters
and kindred branches. but the num-
berS out are not large. No May day
in the recollection of labor leaders
in New England has been 50 full Of
encouragement and success as that
which ended last night

REFUNDING THE DEBT.
Uncle Sam Has Saved $780,
600 in Interest.
NEARLY 800 NEW BANKS.
Applications Have Been Received by
the Treasury Department for Au-
thority To Organize $50 Institutions
as National Banks.

Washington. May 5.-Representa-
tive Brosius, of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the house committee on bank
ing and currency, yesterday made
statement. official in character and
based on information carefully pre-
pared by the treasury department, on
the workings of the recently enacted
financial law. The statement says IN
part:
"The rcfunding provisions of the
law are working out an achievement
III finance without a parallel in the
history of the world. The statement
/ submit is official and shows the
amount of bonds of each kind eX-
changed since the law went into
operation, March IA, to May /, 1900,
together with the saving i'll interest,
the premium paid and the net saw
ing
The statement shows the following
totals: Amount refunded $26O020,-
75O. saving in interest $32, 600 ,225,
premium paid $26,o34,771, net saving
Sc. .G64.4J4
The met saving shown by this
statement represents the difference
between the amount of interest the
government will pay upon the bonds
refunded to the date of their respec-
tive maturities and the amount of in
terest the government would have
been obliged to pay had not the
bonds above described been thus re-
funded.
at will be observed that the total
amount of bonds exchanged is $780,
020,75O. The treasurer has already
made full settlement for bonds
amounting to $2j9,O51 $50, and of the
premiums paid and to be paid, $50, ,034,-
ri, the treasurer has already paid
1922, 1872. leaving unpaid only about
$4,000 Of the $260, 1921, $50 bonds eX-
changed. Sis, 900 were from insti-
tutions or private persons other than
national banks.
"The operation of legal tender re-
demption rnder the provisions of the
law exhibits a highly satisfactory
condition of public confidence in our
government paper and is a happy
omen for the success of that branch
of our monetary system in the future.
The secretary of the treasury in
forms me that the amount of United
States notes redeemed in gold out of
the reserve fund since the new law
went into operation is $5,1J3, ,2S9."
One of the most interesting feat
ures OF MIR. Brosius statement is a
table prepared by the treasury show
ing the extent to which new ma

under the new law. The total num-

Mr.. Brosius also adds, from un-

estimate of $l21, ,7S8,S5S, as the
amount Of currency the national

PASSED BY THE SENATE.
Artillery Corps to be Divided
Into Two Branches.
CALLS FOR MORE CADETS.
Gen. Miles Is Given the Rank of Lieu
tenant General, COrbin rs Promoted
and Provision Is nade for Retiring
Commissary General Eagan.

Was shington, May 5.-Friday's ses-
sion of the senate was rendered not
able by the passage of the army re-
ORGANIZATION bill. In military circles
the measure is regarded as one of the
NEST important of the present ses-
sion. IL practically revorutionizes the
present staff arrangements of the
army. 1t proposes to change the pres
ent system OF permanent appoint
mentS in certain stan corps to one of
detail by the gradual process rs the
officers now in those corps now go out
of active service. AS vacancies occur
in departments of the adiutant gen
eral, Inspector general, quarter
master general and commiSSary gen
eral they are to be filed by details
from the line, the details to be tenn
porarv and not 10 exceed four years.
The new system is not applied to
the corps Of engineers, medical de-
partment, pay department or judge
advocate generals department. The
bill discontinueS the regimental
orga nization of the artillery and es-
tablishes an artillery corps of two
branches, viz, 126 batteries of coast
artillery and Is batteries of field
artillery, with a total of 17,44S men.
1t provides for an increase of 100 III
the corps of cadets at West Point,
two at large from each state and ten
more to the present number of 30
from the United States at large.
The rank of the commanding gen
eral of the army is raised to that of
lieutenant general and that of the adj
iutant to major general, the latter
being during the incumbency of the
present adjutant general, Gen. Cor
bin. The president is empowered to
place on the retired list any officer
who has been suspended from duty by
suspension, court-martial or by eN-
ecutive order in mitigation of such
sentence for period extending to or
within one year of the time of his
compulsory retirement for age. This
is well understood to apply to Com
missary General Eagan.
An amendment creating vet
erInary corps for the army consist
ing of a colonel and 50 other commits
stoned officers was attached to the
bill after a spirited debate.
The fortifcations appropriation
bill, carrying about $7,5O0,0Or, was
passed.
House.-The house made fair prog
ress with the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill, completing 73 or the 1872
pages of the bill. Much of the time
was consumed in an effort of the
members of the naval committee to
cripple the coast and geodetic survey
in retaliation for the refusal of the
house to agree to their recommenda-
ton. when the naval bill was before
the house, to place the survey of the
waters of our insular possessions in
the hands of the navy. They tried to
strike out the item in the bill author
ring the coast survey to survey the
coasts in the jurisdiction of the
United States. but were defeated.

Fun In a Toy Balloon and Piece of

s-~
Fun in Toy Balloon and Piece Of
Cord.
All that is required is a cord and a
toy balloon. Fasten the cord to oppo-
site walls or ends of the hall and have
the cord about the height Of the Shout
der. Now use the toy balloon as the
tennis ball and the right hand as the
racquet. The balloon may be struck
twice so as to get IL in good position
before the serve over the line. The
game then consists in returning the
balloon as long as possible. A failure
70 return constitutes the gain of one
point for the opponent, and four points
make a game. Now the whole thing
seems very simple, but, as Professor
Boys. a distinguished lecturer before
the royal institution, says, in speaking
CT the game, TRY it and see" The
game is the invention Of the well
known scientist, Professor Oliver Lodge
of Liverpool, who, by the way, reserves
no rights in the matter; and many Lon
don Children, from 8 to so, are taking
TO the game since its introduction by
Professor Boys. Its simplicity and
cheapi1ssJ should recommend it to
many, and Only fair trial will reveal
the possibilities for exercise indC ors.
Much depends on the way the balloon
is struck. A stroke on the under side
viii send the balloon spinning upward
above your opponents head, and a
stroke sending the balloon 80 that the
under side will just touch the string.
sends the balloon curling downward
out Of the reach Of the opponent and
back to its starting place. If the bal
loon does not pass over the string the
point is lost to the one who gives the
stroke. OF course, there are also many
other artful ways Of striking the bal
loon so as TO send il out of your OPP
ponent's reach, aud altogether, to
quote Professor Boys again, zone can
get very warm in very short time"

py because he had provided a feast for
his friend and Tod happy because the
feast had been provided without it's
costing him anything.
It was when Tod was II years old
that his greed caused trouble to the
whole of the United States on two very
important days. Just what year it
was [ can not say, but your great
grandfather may remember. His pa

at Rockford park, a country place
where they hold fairs and poultry

1t is not for me to say how he man
aged to do il. I don't think he was
ever clear in his own mind how it came
about, but it is a well known fact that
when you cut the rope that holds a
balloon to earth that balloon is going
to escape if it has a spark Of ANNA
ton. I suppose the ballOOnist had gone
to lunch, but wherever he was he was
not in the balloon when Tod stepped
into the basket to see how the old
thing worked, and as Tod was a per-
fectly fearless and reckless boy re did
not think of the moral or physicahGOn-
sequences, but simply sawed away at
the rope with his jeckknife until the
balloon SDrang UP like a lark from its

My grandfather told me that a far
mer's horse began to cut up just as
Tom was seYering the rope and that
that drew away the attention Of the
sightseers. Certainly there never was
a madden man than the owner of that
balloon, and he called the bvstanders
all sorts Of names for not interfering
to save his precious balloon.
AS for Tod, he was tickled to death.
He waved farewell to the crowds be-
low, he sang snatches of songs and
sat on the edge of the basket with his
legs dangling over until his mother
tainted, and as he happened to gee her
he drew in his legs. He did not like
to occasion unnecessary pain.
After he had been in the balloon some
ten hours and had sailed I don't know
how many miles, he became very hun
CRY, and seeing land a quarter of
mile above him, he decided to leave
the balloon and take a short walk for
exercise, if he could fasten his anchor
anywhere. The balloonist had an
emergency anchor in the balloon. and
if he hadn't no one would ever have
heard Of Tod again. So my grand
father said.
