 George Ellis. jr, whose eye was injured some weeks ago by a piece of steel Is gradually improving and the optic in few weeks more will be almost as well as ever.
 The arrangement committee for the Brooklyn Athletic clubs dance at the Auditorium on Thanksgiving night held a meeting last evening and the different members reported that ev- erything was running along smoothly and tickets were being disposed of rapidly.
 Ut is said that several of the sa- loon keepers of this section are on the uneasy seat over the rumor that the county commissioners will refuse 10 issue licenses to many of the grill rooms around town this year. Their chief object, so it is said, Is not to is sue licenses where too many cafes are now At the present time from North Riverside to North Leonard street there are six saloons; large Humber for such short distance. From North Leonard to John an even shorter space, there are six more, making twelve from North Riverside to John street. From North Riverside to the brewery, taking In saloons near to Bank street, but on side streets, there are saloons to the number of twenty seven. This is an amazing large number and it would not be sur prising to see some of them put out of business by the commissioners.
 It is now time to think of replacing broken window glass It is easier to set it now than in cold weather.

PRINTERS WILL STICK
The Strike is to Re Continued in New
 Haven.

New Haven, Nov 17.-The executive council of the International Type graphical union met in Indianapolis Sunday with the presidents of unions in number of the larger cities of the country.
 William D. Williams, president of Typographical union No 4T of this city, attended the conference in re- sponse to a call from International President James NJ. Lynch, and has just returned.
 The conference was called to discuss the strike of union printers precipi- tated some time ago by the eight hour movement. The presidents who at tended the conference were VI. Q, Hewitt, Springfield. O.; c. ". Dickson, Detroit: ". E. Wilson, Grand Rapids; K s. Fisher. omaha: A. D. Calvert, Philadelphia; James J, Hoban. Cleye. land; William D. Williams, New Has ven; Wade Harding, Atlanta, Ga; NJ. R. Pace, Richmond, Va; F. N. Gould, Minneapolis; T. F. Thomas. St Paul; c. E. Kinskey, Buffalo; Joseph Jack son, St Louis; Bert H. Bates, Rorhes. ter, N. Y.; Er H. Ashton, Newark, \. J.; E. NJ. Stewart, Toledo; James Tay- Tor, Syracuse: Edgar Perkins, Indian apolis; Edwin R. Wright, Chicago; A. E. Rurnham. st Joseph, Mo.
 The president of the local union stated last night that reports brought by the presidents from their respective cities were very encouraging. The eight hour system is to go. into efeN January l, and the executive council voted to continue the strike and to pay the constitutional strike benefits for an indefinite period or until the cities affected by the movement are ready to grant the compositors' demands.
 A number of the larger cities are financing their own strikes. and this fact. together with the various assess ments being levied by other labor or ganizations, gives the executive coun- ell ample funds to provide for the other unions. The printers of Little Rock, Ark, came out on Monday, and other cities will be called from time to time as their contracts expire, unless the employers sign up.
 Over 250 cities and towns have al- ready signed for the eight hour day and in most of these cities the propri etors have also agreed to the closed shop proposition.
 The local situation remains un- changed.
