Union Makes Successful De-
mands for Shorter
Hours.
Strike Adjusted and Men Re-
sumo Work Yesterday
Morning.

The bricklayers belonging to the
union quit work last Monday be-
cause they had come to the conclu-
sion that they were working too
many hours during the hot days. A
formal demand was made on the
contractors, Dalton Bros, for nine
hours work at the same rate per
hour for ten hours a day-50 cents
per hour. Owing to the large
amount of work under contract the
employers refused to comply, but
told the bricklayers the ywould give
them more money per hour if they
would work ten hours. The men
were firm in their demand and laid
off to give the contractors time to
consider The matter was amicably
adjusted Tuesday evening and the
men went to work yesterday morn
ing at so cents an hour, nine hours
to constitute a days work.
About fourteen men were involved
in the strike, all of the bricklayers
in the city except six who work for
the Forbes Mfg. Co. Dick Dalton
is president of the Brickmaker's
Union.

The Appeal of the Prison
Committee.

The people generally did not re-
ply as literally as they should have
done to such a worthy cause; they
probably would have done better if
the prison fund social had beenmore
generally advertised.
Kentucky is doing a great work in
prison reform and other states have
gone into the work with vim. The
prison committee of this State can
not prosecute its work without the
funds, and should another social be
given, the public will no doubt come
more literally to the assistance of
the committee. The two societies
of the city are deeply grateful to
Messrs. Cook & Higgins for their
generosity in giving them the use OF
their fountain, as we'll as to those
who patronized them during their
temporary control of the fountain

Beyond question, the most talked of
book today, whether in the pulpit or
out of it, "The Simple Life" by
Rev. Charles Wagner. 1t has caught
the nation like wild-fre, and is con-
stantly alluded to everywhere,
backed by the endorsement of public
men, literary critics and the press.
President Roosevelt breaches it to
his countrymen. The well-known
publishers of Photographed books,
Hurst & Co., 395-399 Broadway,
New York, have just issued a tasty
edition, which they will mail to any
one sending 35c. This firm will also
forward a complete catalogue of

prayed in public. A shorthand re-
porter took down his prayer, which
was as follows: eve bless Thee for
the encouragement we have in the
privilege we have in coming to
worship Thee. We know the mani
festation of Thy love toward us, but
we often forget Thee. We are sinful,
but we pray that Thou wilt reach
out and draw us back as Thou hast
always done. May all who seek
knowledge receive it. Make us
stronger, make US charitable
toward one another, and above all
give us patience"
