City Election.

The Union City municipal cleo
ton held last Saturday, January 2,
for the election of a mayor and six
aldermen, was very orderly all the
way through and everything passed
off quietly.
There were $40 votes cast, and as
Mayor Walker had no opponent
there was very little il terest in that
end of the ticket. The Dortch bal
lot was used and many of the voters
jailed to mark his name and he
only received 263 of the votes.
In the race for aldermen there
were eleven candidates and the
fight was spirited from the time
the polls opened in the morning.
Following is the result, the first
six named being elected:
al. Semones, 229; w. ii. Gardner,
124; G. B. White, 2Ol; ]. C. Rey-
inolds, 100, S. S. Alexander, 191; t.

THE HOUSE BOY BRIGADE.
Many London Orphans Are Trained
in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
by Lady Wolverton.

The House Boy Brigade is an
organization in London which
owes its existence to the late Gil
anna, Lady WolvertOn, who
founded it in 1870 for orphan lads.
At the headquarters of the organ
izatiOn the boys are trained for
domestic service and other Occu
patiOns. After the boys have re,
eeived the primary Instructions,
they are sent out daily to the
houses of gentlemen's families to
assist with household duties, run
errands or whatever may be re
quired of them. They appear in
uniforms and are most useful
when a gap has to be filled atshort
notice. Most of the boys do well
The largest number eventually en-
ter the British army and navy.
They receive a simple but sound
practical education. Last year
all the lads spent a delightful fort.
night camping at Dorsetshire.
Once a year an "Old boys sup.
per" is held, when invitations are
issued to all former inmates in
whatever part of the world they
may be. On these occasions prizes
are distributed to those who have
been especially faithful in their
various positions.

is cared for until a country home
is found. The local volunteer so
cieties canvass their neighbOr-

placed. The children's commit

No child is placed in a family so
poor that the child might suffer.
The foster parent receives a sum
averaging $1.25 per week for the
care of the child and for proper
clothing. When of school age the
child must be sent to school. The

0 M JUMPS A CLAIM.
Plucky Western Girl Owns a $4,000
Mine as Result-Now on
Honeymoon Trip.

Mrs. James NJ. Blake, formerly
Miss Jessie McCubben, of Port,
land, and later of Alamo, Ore,
where she became well known as
the plucky young woman who
jumped a valuable gold mining
claim, was in Portland, Ore, few
lays ago on her honeymoon trip.
Miss McCubben married James
NJ. Blake, who has banking inter.
ests in Wilbur, Ore, and in Aber-
deem, Wash, where they are to
live. Mrs. Blake's mine, which is
in the Bohemia district, and of
which she obtained possession in
such an adventurous way, has
turned out extremely we'll, and is
valued now at about $4,000. 1t
was on New Years eve of last
year that she staked the claim,
making a most dlttlcult journey
through the mountains on snow
shoes to do it. 1t had become
known in Alamo that the former
owners rights, through some
teehnicality of the law, were to ex.
pire at midnight, December 81,
but the mountains were then al
most impossible, the weather
was %frightfully cold, and Miss Nc
5ubben was the only person with
the hardihOod to reach the mine
at that time. For a part of the
way she drove, but the greater
part of the distance, which was
some miles, through darkness and
looming snow-cOvered mountains.
she travelled alone, a thing which
only a strong-nerved western CIR
would dare to do.

The workman has a quarter Of an
hour for breakfast, from an hour
to an hour and a half at noon for
dinner, and a quarter of an hour in
the afternoon for tea. Sometimes
and in some factories the break
fast period is not authorized,
sometimes afternoon tea is omit
ted. The average length of the
laws work is ten hours. In the
.extile industry it may be a quar-

women and children has con.
cerned the state far more than the
hours of male workers. Night
work for women is prohibited, nor
can they remain in the shops after
$50 on Saturday afternoon, or on
the eve of a holiday. The law fixes
