one of the most novel and interesting
entertainments ever given in West
Scranton was that of the Kaffir boy
choir at the jackson Street Baptist
church last evening, before an audience
that completely taxed the seating cap
acity of this spacious auditorium.
Nothing like it has ever been seen in
this city, and it gave the people an
insight into the life and character of
the natives of South Africa, as repre-
scented by the children of various tribes
in that far-off land, of which compara-
lively little is known
The children are representatives of
the Bushmen Basutos and Zulus tribes
and their names and ages are: Cert
I3rueda, aged u years: Mlen Mtsela,
aged T. years. Teyo Soga, aged II
years, and AItiielele Mtsela, aged 10
yearS.
They can speak. write and sing in
English, and this fact is remarkable
when one considers that they all were
totally uncivilized when taken in hand
by their teachers. Miss Elsie Clark and
j. II. Bamer.
Miss Clark is u native of South AZ
rica and tells interestingly of the Bo-
ers and natives of that country. In
speaking of the present war she said
1T means everything TO the future well
fare of the natives. and horrible as 1t
Is, the struggle will undoubtedly re-
dound to their benefit.

PLUMBERS WALKED OUT
Plumbing Work viii Lie Idle Until
Next Monday.
BAD TIME FOR BROKEN PIPES
Unleus Compromise Is Agreed Upon.
Men Want So for Eight Hours
Work and Extra Time.

Plumbers In Houston 70 the number OF
forty-tNe are out on strike and a freeze,
followed by q burst Of water and other
!pcs would find the community IN a very
embarrassing situation,
The nester plumbers say they were not
aware Of the intention of the men TO strike
until yesterday morning when they all
walked out after making a demand for an
Increase In wages from 81 to IS per day
and 80 cents an hour for junior plumbers.
Mr. John b. Collins Of Collins Bros. said
yesterday evening that the men gave them
no intimatlon Of their intention to strike
and they knew nothing whatever Of the
matter until yesterday morning, when they
were informed that they must pay 50 per
day or the men would refuse to work.
I'VE Immediately held a meeting. at
which the following firms we're represent
cd said Mr.. Collins u. w. Smith Plumb
ing company. Modern Plumbing company,
Phoenix Plumbing company, w. w. Otter,
Kelthly, Hodge & Co, Collins Bros. aud
y. W. rhcll. These firms by Il unanimous
vote decided to refuse the demands of the
men, and notified them that they must re-
turn to work by Monday next or their
places would be flled We feel that the
men are being well paid and well treated.
They receive 81 per day and work only
eight hours, and have half a day off on
saturday. All extra work is paid for at
double rates, which means 81 per hour. We
mean business when We say their places
viii hc hOed. The men are employed
regularly all the year round and the 81
per day means that they receive So per
week with chance to get in extra pay
at any time They are well treated and we
do not believe they have any kick coming. "

The cadets have had no flag since the

this one fills a long felt want. The
