RIVER MEN ANXIOUS.
Dredging Of Washington Harbor Re-
garded as Of Importance.

The steamboat owners and managers
operating big steamers within the narrow
confines of the Washington harbor are
anxious to know when the work OF deepen
ing the channel in the farbor will be
started. During the coming summer there
will be in service on the river, exclusive Of
the big Norfolk line boats, two large side
wheel excursion steamers. each over $50
feet long. There Is but little room in the
harbor for the handling OF these big
steamers going in and out of their docks
even under the best conditions. and the
steamboat men are fearful. that just when
the excursion season Is at It's highest the
steamers will be going in and backing out
OF the docks all day. the dredging ma
chimes will be at work In the harbor taking
up room that will be needed for the ma
nipulation OF the big steamers to get them
In shape to go down the river, The con-
tract for the dredging OF the harbor was
placed by the United States army enri-

the contract the work should have been
started within thirty days after the award

ALLIED PRINTING TRADES.
To Fight for the Adoption of the
Eight-Hour Day.

Information received here is to the effect
that there is a concerted movement by the
other branches of the allied printing trades
to follow the example of the International
Typographical Union In making a fight for
the adoption of the eight-hour day. 1t
is said that such announcement has already
Deen made by the International Brother
hooc or Bookblnders- and the International
Printing Freshmen and Assistants Union
TIL" former has issued a cali for con-
vention to be held in this city next month
when, Ii is expected, plans will be fornu-
lated for carrying this demand into effect
The printing pressmen are at present
bound up with an open shop contract with
thu typothetae, but, according to the Off
cial journal of the organization the battle
for an eight-hour day is practically now
on, and will be openly fought at the ex-
piration of the existing agreements with
tho typothetae next year. at least to the
extent of outlining plans and providing
finances for the conflict, II one should be
found necessary.
According to the current issue or the
Typographical Journal, there were on May
/ but 5,IS4 printers and members of alIie8
trades still out on strike for the eight
hour day. while 80 ABB printers out of
total membership of 1871, were working
eight hours, and 2, I56 others are tied up
with nine-hour contracts. In Pttsburg
there were but twenty-one the strike
benefit roll
The demand of the printers for an eight
hour day In the book and job trades was
not made suddenly nor without years of
agitation. 1t was first preached at the
louisville convention In 1894. Two years
later, at Colorado Springs. a resolution was
adopted calling for a special committee
of five to present for consideration WAYS
and means for the universal reduction of
the hours of labor" 1t carried with it a
Imposition for the establishment of a
shorter work day fund. The action of the
convention was subsequently Endorsed by
the affiliated unions by referendum vote.
The committee to carry out the plan for
the shorter work day appointed by Inter
national President Prescott consisted OF
James ]. Murphy of New York. C. r.
Hawkes., San Francisco; Girdon H. Rus
sell Chattanooga: David Hastings, Hamil-
ton Ont, and r. b. Pendergast represent
Ing the Chicago stereotypers. This COM
mittee convened at headquarters May 8.
1897. and formulated a definite method of
campaign OF education and agitation, which
resulted in a joint session at Syracuse with
the National Typothetae where a friction
less plan for Inauguration of the nine-hour
day for book and Job members was agreed
to and went Into effect the following year.
In the newspaper branch the work day
has always been short, varying from six
and half to eight hours. Official recogni-
ton OF the eight-hour day. however. came
about with the Introduction of lfnotypes
and the consequent general change from

mighty waters swept all but the ark
saved Noah from the face of the earth,
and as it were, a gracious Father relent-
ing. This ark, that preserved the seed
of Adam. was, by his children in later
years, symbolized in the ark of the cove
nant, with his chosen people, and the
exulgehce of divine glory was flashed
from Sinai, and the peerless Ten Com
mandments were given to the world. an
unbroken link in the chain of promise to
Abraham, that through him, shall all
the nations of the earth be blessed"
History furnishes no parallel, nor can
mans narrow vision grasp the scope of
Gods eternal purpose, for Gods ways
are not as mans ways, nor His thoughts
as mans thoughts.
Revolutions have come and gone and
left their blood-stained trails across the
face Of mother earth; nations have arose
and swept with victorious banners over
a conquered world, only to lay their tro-
phies down to others, who in turn have
conquered them.
It remained for a little child, again
born sinless in the image of God, as was
the first Adam, to yield up His life for
the redemption of this world. and through
humility purity and a spotless obedience
to the will of the Father reclaim the
world from sin. The centuries have passed
and its wondrous changes have fastened
its relentless grasp over every part of
the destinies of the nations of this world,
but the tides that were set in motion by
the Son of Mary; His simple life among
the hills of Judea; His teachings, his mar
velous and unfathomed sacrifice and evil
dence of divine love and favor, its unap-
proachable influence on every phase of
human life and endeavor and its bene-
fcent and restraining influence for good
on the lives of individuals and nations,
strengthen the faith of the world in His
divinely appointed mission as the ages
roll away; and His advent and it's i'm
port for good; its vitalizing hope and
birth, we celebrate. His gracious mission
is to bring the world back to the virgin
state of purity and sinlessness found in
Paradise. when Adam first greeted the
First Sunrise of creation, sinless man.

Beauty of the Erse Tales.

From Theodore Roosevelt's THE Ancient
Irish Sages'' in the January Century.
The Erse tales have suffered from
many causes. Taken as a mass, they did
not develop as the sages and the epics
of certain other nations developed; but
they possess extraordinary variety and
beauty an in their mysticism, their de-
votion to and appreciation of natural
beauty, their exaltation of the glorious
courage of men and of the charm and de-
votion of women, in all the touches that
tell of a long-vanished life, they possess
