Collector Stuart Reduces Fxpen
SEES Of Shipping Companies.
WORK FOR CHIEF INSPECTORS
Men Who Have Charge of Loading or
Unloading Vessels Must Watch a
Hatch-Report Says That Salaries
Have Been Decreased.

Captain ]. T.. -. Stuart. collector OF
customs at this port, has made several
changes in the conduct of the customs
service here. which. il is said. has
tors employed in the local custom
house and has also materially reduced
the expenses of The shipping COM
panics.
Before Captain Stuart became col.
lrctor mt this port if Il ship discharg-
ed Or loaded Il cargo ut night, the
shipping company To which she was
consigned was compelled to pay Il
customs Inspector to stand ut each
hatch in operation and inspect all ar
ticlcs taken ont of or loaded into the
ships hold, and also Il chief inspector
whose duty il was to oversee the CHI
tire work of loading or unloading the
ships cargo. Captain Stuart has so
changed the system as to practically
dispense with The services OF the chief
inspector, the men who formerly per-
formed the dnties Of chief inspectors
bcing required to watch hatch like
the others.
The Office of wcighmasicr on ships
loading or discharging cargoes ut
night. has been abolished, hut that
change was made AT all other ports
along tho Atlantic coast by an order
from Washington
1t is reported that the salaries of
the night inspectors haye been re-
duced to about half but this cannot
be confirmed, as Captain Stuart will
make no statement regarding the I'll.
NOR.
The changes in the customs system
here has not, it seems, met with the
approval of certain Republican lead.
crs who have been Captain Stuart's
political allies in this city and the nc.
ton of the collector has been topic
for discussion among some OF the Re
publicans for several days.
When seen by Daily Press reporter
yesterday Collector Stuart said that
1t was fact that he had made SOW
eral changes in the customs system
hero, thereby reducing tho expense OF
the shipping companies. He said that
the Office of chief inspector on ships
loading or lischarginE at night had
practically been abolished as the chief
inspector now inspected only one
hatch, thus doing away with an extra
inspector
When asked about the reported re-
duction OF tho salaries of the inspcc-
| tors working nj night, the collector re-
fused absolutely to make any state
incnt, either to deny or confirm the
report.

HE CARETH."

What can it mean! Is it aught to Him
That the nights are long and the days are DIM
Can lie be touched by the grief bear,
Which saddens the heart and whiten the hair'
About His throne eternal Gains,
And the strong glad music Of happy psalms,
And bliss unrufled by any strife
How can He care for my little life?
And yet want Him to care for me
While live in this world where sorrow BE-
When the lights die down from the path take,
When strength is feeble and friends forsake,
When love and music that once did bles,
Have left me to silence and Loneliness,
And my life-sone changes to sobbins prayers,
That my heart cries out for God who cares.
When shadows hang over the whole day long
And my spirit is bowed with shame and wrong,
When am not good, and the deeper shad.
OF conscious sin makes my heart afraid;
And this busy world has too much to do
To stay in its course to he Up me through,
And long for Savior-can it be
That the God OF the Universe cares for me-
Oh, wonderful story Of dcathless love-
Each child is dear to that Heart above
He fights for me when cannot fight;
lie comforts me in the gloom Of night;
He lifts the burden for He is strong
He stills the sigh and awakes the song;
The sorrow that bows me down He bears,
And loves and pardons because He cares
Let all who are sad take heart again,
We are not alone in our hours Of pain;
Our Father stoOps from Hi, throne above
To ,oothe and quiet US with His love
He leaves us not when the storm is high,
And we have safety for He is nigh
Can it be trouble which He doth share?
Oh, rest in peace, for the Lord will care.
