time giving exhibition in this city, be-
came tired of the life of show follower

freight train which would carry him to
home and mother and three square meals a
day. He waited some time, and as the train
failed TO come along he picked out fine
soft spot on pile of rails along the track
and was soon dreaming of fried chicken
and apple pies. the kind that mother used
to make. His dreams were rudely awak-
nede by several of the heavy iron rails roll
ing off the pile onto his left foot. which was
badly crushed. and he hoped TO the City
Dispensary on one leg. where the injured
member was dressed by DR.. Cunningham.
After the leg was dressed he again hoped
back TO the railroad yards and sat down on
the same pile of rails 10 await the arrival or
the train which would carry him TO the

The city of New Orleans. like most of the
land at each side of the Mississippi river in
the alluvial country. lies considerably below
the high water line of the Mississippi river
The whole city would be inundated by the
river occasionally IL IL were not protected
by levee along the river front. The city is
also protected by levees running at right
angles to the river-one above the city and
one below it-and also by a levee along the
shore of Lake Pontchartrain and by levees
along the banks of the various canals
which reach from that lake into the terri
tory of the municipality.
New Orleans is so near the mouth of the
river that the land upon which the city is
built Is not only lower than the high water
stage of the river, but is in part lower than
the level of the Gulf OF Mexico and OF the
various lakes in the vicinity OF the city
Therefore. there is no natural drainage
for the land inclosed by the levees sur
rounding the town. The rainwater that

CHILD-LABOR LAW.
8. NJ. sexton Will Discuss Subject Be-
fore Miners Mass Meeting.

,uel Nj. Sexton, editor Of the United
Mine Workers Journal. will leave this
morning for Charleroi. Pa, where on Thurs
day evening he will speak before large
mass meeting of miners of that district.
The object of the demonstration is the agi
tation of the child-labor law, which is Oc-
cupying much attention in Pennsylvania.
At the last session of the State Legislature
a law was passed raising the age limit Of
children who should be allowed to work
around the mines from twelve to fourteen
TO fourteen to sixteen. The new law caused
a great deal of objection among a certain
number of the miners who claimed that
much of their support depended upon the
work of their children.
Speeches will be made tomorrow night by
a number of prominent miners, some of
which favor the new law and others dis
favor 1t.
