NEW CHILD LABOR LAW.
Children Under I6 Can No Longer
Work Nights.

Work Nights.
In accordance with the provisions of
the new labor law in New York State,
many messenger boys, hotel pages and
theater employees, as well as the children
employed in industrial vacations, will be
Obliged to shift their hours of work or give
up their employment altogether. The new
law directs that no child less than 10
years of age shall be permitted in stores
or factories or to engage in other occu-
pations in cities of the first class after Z
o'clock at night. These provisions apply
both to New York City and Buffalo, but
in the interior of the State the influence
of certain manufacturers was such that
the limit for the labors of child workers
was extended until o'clock. The care of
the observance Of the law in the manu-
featuring establishments will be under
the supervision of the State factory in
spectors, while the board of health will be
responsible for the enforcement of the
new statute in all stores. 1t is specified
in the second section of the law that mo
child shall be employed beyond the pre-
scribed hour in any mercantile establish
ment, business Office or telegraph Office,
restaurant, hotel, apartment house or in
the distribution or transmission of mer-
chandise or messages"

WINS TWO REMNANTS.
Chicago Now the Capital of this
Whole Base BALL World.

Whole Base Rail- World.
There is joy in Chicago. THE White
Sox have won the American League
pennant Some days before the Chicago
National League team secured the pen
nant in that race, and now for the first
time in the history of baseball two ma
jor league pennants have been secured
by one city, and for the first time the
whole series of worlds championship
games will be played in one city. 1t Is
a record to be proud of.
Chicago is the capital of the base
ball empire, the Mecca of the. fanatic
tribes, the Holy City of the national
sport, and everything else superlatye.
The victory means two championships
count EN-; and, when you are
championship of the world There is
not another bit of baseball bunting
left on earth that is worth mentioning.
Chicago has led the whole species of
major league remnants into captivity,
and can spend one long, silly. vainglo-
rious year in listening while they flap.
The story of the fight of the two
clubs for their respective pennants is
an interesting one. The critics of the
game agree that the National League
team won because it was an aggrega-
ton of the best players in the league.
The White SoX won because they
fought desperately every minute of the
time, after the season started, to win.
They are not considered by the critics
as the best players individually in the
league, but they are brainy and game.
and they played together. Americans
admire grit, and the fighting quality
that makes man hang on and on and
finally win out through sheer persever-
ance and endeavor, when the chances
seem to be against him. 1t is the quail
ity that has made the race intensely
interesting to every lover of baseball
in the country.
The victory also means post-season
series between the two teams of cham
pions, which will be the greatest strug-
gle of its kind ever played. The at
tention of the nation will be concen-
trated on Chicago while the exhibition
of the most consummate skill that can
be displayed on the diamond goes on.
All of the able-bodied inhabitants
and most of the lame, the halt and
the blind will swarm to the gates. Chi
cago seems to be 1T, Chicago has been
IT, and Chicago is IT; likewise Chi
cagoans are not attempting to make
any modest denials of their greatness.
Chicagos cup of joy overfows.

violent gale swept over the entire

just as she was about to enter the Lake

trance to the ship canal was reached the

to make the entrance of the canal, but

force against the rocky shore. The high

There may never be another race for
the Vanderbilt cup in this country,
particularly on Long Island or any
other place so near to New York City.
The very popularity of the event may
prove to be its undOing, for the great
army which went to the course so over

rules and precautions that every driver
was badly handicapped and the for
eignerS particularly have declared they
never will return until they are guar
anteed a clear course and better regu-

tragedy. One man killed, struck through
his own fault by Elliott F. Shepard at
