UNEMPLOYED IN SHEFFIELD
Slack Trade in the Cutlery Business
Has Brought Hardship on
Many Workmen.

The question how best to relieve the
distress existing among the worthy
poor of Sheffield is attracting the at
tention of the authorities. December
IA a meeting was called at the town
hall by the lord mayor. which was
largely attended by the representative
men Of the city. 1t was decided, in
view of the depressed condition of bust
ness, that immediate steps be taken tc
relieve the distress and that relief
should take the form of work furnish
ed by the city. Two registration of
fees were opened. where deserving
poor men out Of work could register
and make their needs known.
These offices were opened December Is,
and by the 18th about 1000 had regis
tered and the offices we're closed. as
the number was much in excess of that
for which employment could be found.
A free-soup kitchen was opened De-
cember II. The Vir Vale workhouse
Is full to overlooking. The highest
number of inmates previous to the
present time was 1,785 in 1887. On De
cember II, 1893, there were 1913 per-
Every available corner is made use of,
and among applicants are II whole
families; usually less than half a doz-
en- families apply. A large percentage
of the applicants are men without any
trade; few mechanics, painters, join
~, and hr;aIr1o,0rc cnalr n dr1fccfnn
Applicants are mostly men from the
big works here; file cutters and hafters
and others who have been working in
their own homes help to make up the
number.
Heretofore work has been found for
the able bodied males at the stone
yard or in wood cutting but this has
been found to be unremunerative. The
men are now employed in grinding
cor into meal by hand. A man re-
duces 120 pounds of corn to -four,
from which the bread they consume Is
made. Only English grain is used.
The amount Of outdoor relief dis
pensed by the guardians of the Eccle-
sail workhouse has greatly increased,
and If the winter should be severe 1t is
anticipated that the calls for help
will be greater than at present. This
condition is due to the fact that the
larger firms in the city have been I'M
der the necessity of discharging patches
of men from one department after
another all through the present year.
In the file trade here work Is slack,
and the edge-tool trade is quiet. Sheet
metal workers are fairly well employ
ed. Employment in the cutlery trade is
slack, and britannia metal trades en-
ployment is slack, silver platers and
gilders being the only exception, they
reporting work as good. Employment
in wire drawing is reported slack.
Nearly all branches Of engineering
trades here are slack; a good deal Of
short time is being worked. Pattern
makers are fairly busy and electrical
workers moderately so. At Rother-
ham and Lincoln engineers report en-
ployment as moderate. At Doncaster
some short time is being made. At
Barnsley iron founders and engineers
are fairly well employed.

comment. because Miss Wade wa. barred about year ago from the White ftouse Tn her professional capacity bv order Of Secretary Loeb, which preSum. aoIy was suggested. either by the Presi- dent or Mrs. Roosevelt. Miss Wade refused to comply with certain reeulao tions. set down by Secretary Loeb, be- cause she considered the treatment pre- sscrloed oy those regulations ignomin- ious. The society reporters were placed in one part of the White House and or dered not to go anywhere else. Miss wade contended that she was there on invitation of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt and refused to remain in the position designated by the ushers.
 Really not much importance can be attached to the matter, because until March Mrs. Fairbanks,s social duties will be only those of a Senator's wife. but the private secretaries of Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Fairbanks must necessarily negotiate all the exchanges of social courtesy between the Presi- dents family and that of Senator Fair banks. It can scarcely be taken as a defiance of Mrs. Roosevelt's opinion, as Mrs. Fairbanks is one of the least malicious persons in the world. and in any event would not be so undiplomatic as to purposely antagonize the first lady of the land or espouse the cause of the oppressed to the detriment of social peace. The connection with Mrs: Fair banks will naturally put Miss Wade in close touch with official life at the White House, much closer in fact than if she were simply allowed the priVi- leges accorded to other newspaPeF women. In this position, if Mrs. Fair- banks follows the custom instituted py Mrs. Roosevelt and the ladies or the Cabinet, Miss Wade will assist SlIs. @ Fairbanks in receiving her guests, pour pouII tea for her at her informal and tormdI receptions. and otherwise occupy a pre- nounced position. although persoii@ "o" grata at the White House.

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body In Health and
 OlAeaRe.

For the Human Body In Health and Disease.
 The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and mo- lasses every spring and fall.
 It was the universal spring and fall blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and mind you, this old-fashioned reme- dy was not without merit
 | The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and a large quantity had to be taken to get any effect
 Nowadays we get all the beneficial effects. of sulphur in a palatable, con- centrated form. so that a single grain Is far more effective than table spoonful of the crude sulphur. | In recent years, research and experi- ment have proven that the best sul phur for medcianl use is that obtained from Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the nai-.e of Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are small chocolate coated pellets and con- tain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in highly concentrated. ef l fective form.
 Few people are aware Of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring | anu OOullJ Nl6OT | health; sulphur acts directly on the liver. and excretory organs and puri flies and enriches the blood by the l prompt elimination of waste material. 1 Our grandmotners knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and mo- lasses every spring and fall. but the crudity and impurity of ordinary flow CTS of sulphur were often worse than the disease. and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur. of which Stuart's Calcium l Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely used.
 They are the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike.
 Dr. R. M. Wilkins while experi- menting with sulphur remedies soon found that tine sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He troubles, especially when resulting from constipation or malaria. I have been surprised at the results obtained from Stuarts Calcium Waters Tn pa tients suffering from boils and pim- pies and even deep-seated carouncles, l have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear in four or five days, 1 leaving the skin clear and smooth. All though Stuart's Calcium Waters is 8 proprietary article. and sold by drug gists, and for that reason tahooed by many physicians. yet I know of noth- | ing so safe and reliable for constipa- | ton, liver and kidney troubles and es- pecially in, all forms of skin disease and this remedy
 At any rate people who art tired of pills. cathartics and so-called blood | purifiers" will find in Stuart's Cal. cium Waters. a far safer. more pala- table and effective preparation. | --su-4t

 There was no Misrepresentation. Kansas City Journal
 A woman lives at one of the Kansas City hotels who has the reputation Of being rather fnicky and hard to please in the matter of food. A day or SC ago at lunch. after looking over the dessert list. she decided on some Ice cream pudding. The meal had been one with which she had had consider able difficulty in finding any fault but when she had about half finished the dessert she called the waiter over and said:
 George. what do you mean by call- ing thls ice cream pudding? There isn't any ice cream about 1t, and you know it."
 "Yes'm." said the waiter. T know dere ain't no ice creamA fin it. Dnta 1es a name they give it. I do know why"
 well" she continued 'I think that if they give a dish such a name they ought to make it conform to the name. and if you call this ice cream pud- ding. you ought to bring some tee cream with it.

Equally entertaining and dealing with the same period is a large volume embellished with many portraits and revealing many re- markabIe personages. Miss Ada sterling. New York woman we'll known as writer and critic. has edited with rare skill the memoirs of Mrs. Clay. of Alabama. The book Is entitled "A Belle of the Fifttes.' .' Senator Clay was conspicuous in the councils of the nation for many years and suspect ed unjustly of eomplicity in the assassina- tion of President Lincoln. he was arrested and confined with Jefferson Davis at Fort ress Monroe, enduring much hardship dur ing his imprisonment His wife's heroic struggles to secure his release are set forth in much detail.
