INDUSTRIES ARE REvIVING.
Workers of All Kinds Are Reported
in Great Demand.

Business throughout the United
States, both commercial and indus
trial, is reviving. according to Ter
ence V. POwGerly, chief of the diVi-
sion of information, bureau of tmmf-
grafton The division Of information
was created by Congress as an agency
to divert immigration from the larger
cities, and find places for the unem-
ployed alien The functions of the
division have been enlarged, inasmuch
as Chief Powderly is endeavoring to
provide work for Americans as we'll
as aliens.
From July / last until early in Oc-
tober 100000 requests were made upon
Chief Powderly to supply various
forms Of labor for factory. railroad,
farm and industrial enterprises Of all
descriptions. About the middle Of
October, when the financial disturb
ances became acute, many of these
applications were Cancelled, CORE
spondents stating that instead of need
ing labor they were putting off men,.
and that everything pointed to a pro-
longed period of depression.
Recently there has been a renewal
Of the demand for labor. Chief Pow
derby says that this demand comes
from every section of the country
that it calls for mechanics, mill oper-
atives, factory hands, railroad buillers,
and farm labOrers. From the agrlcui-
tural States. have come notice that in
the spring hundreds Of thousands of
farm hands will be needed, and that
every effort should be made bY the gov
eminent at this time to see to it that
an adequate supply of labor Is provided
in the regions where it will be urgently
required.
An investigation has developed"
said Mr.. Powderly, that, while the
unusually large exodus Of foreigners
during the past few months was the di-
rect result of disturbed financial con-
ditions. it was not due to the closing
of mills or factories or cessation in the
progress of public works. The great
majority of those who returned to Eu-
rope We're not turned out Of employ
ment. They were alarmed by the OUT
look and decided to go back. The tide
will begin to turn early in the spring.
and I have no doubt that the increas-
ing demand for labor that our reports
Indicate is at hand will be fully met
by the supply in this country amplified
by an enlarged immigration"

Name Stin Thing to COnjure with In
Some Parts of World.
If ever you happen to be so for
tunate as to take a trip down the west
coast of Africa you'll be sure to hear
Of the famous old West Indiaman, King
George, says a writer in the New York
Herald. This yarn Is backed up by
so, Of course, it is true. She was
wrecked in the year 1889, during a
hurricane that devastated the coast of
Cuba and the West Indies generally.
Every man, woman and child aboard
of her was lost, and the ship herself
was stripped Of her top hamper, masts
and spars and went drifting, q hope
less wreck, "bawd to all disaster"
She was first reported by a ship of
the same company some hundred miles
north of the point where the storm is
supposed to have struck her. Men
were sent aboard her from her sister
Indiaman and reported that she was
sinking rapidly. After that she was
never completely lost to sight for the
best part of five years, when she van
lshed in a storm off the Grand Ca
naries. In that time she had drifted
upward of 10000 miles, and had been
the direct cause of at least four wrecks
and the Indirect cause Of three more.
Her travels were strange enough, espe-
cially at that time, when the locations
of the ocean currents were only vague
| ly guessed at by the most speculative
of mariners. She journeyed north
ward and eastward from the Gulf of
Mexico to the British Isles, and then,
making a long curve, to the west
coast of Africa. During all that time
she was constantly reported by pass
ing ships, many Of whom sent men
aboard of her. At last the British
government dispatched a man-of-war
after her, with orders to blow her up,
Instead the frigate ran on a reef and
was wrecked. Another, the Daphne
was then sent out, but she encountered
a Shaving dhow and was sunk in the
ensuing fight.
BY this time the whole English
speaking seafaring world was agos
over the mystery. When a third war
ship was dispatched and in her turn
ran high and dry on the beach, super
stition had its way and the King
George was allowed to proceed on hel
ghostly path in peace. She was re
ported a few times after that by pass
ing merchantmen, then disappeared fol

In a little while the doctor mounted to

Neither he nor Zeno could sit still.
They prowled stealthily here and there,
doing unnecessary things, and now and
again exchanging a whisper. Once or
twice the doctor took Dobroski by the
wrist and counted his pulsation. Once he
lifted one Of the sleeping mans eyelids
and stared ixedly at the unseeing eye
that looked hard at him.
"The' carriage is here" said Zeno, when
half an hour had gone by. Let us get
away at once. We can drive slowly. l

With this he disappeared, carrying his

For the first time in twenty years
the Republican convention will see a
real battle. The gathering that nomi-
mated Benjamin Harrison in 1888 was
an open fight much similar to the one
that promises for this year. In 1892 the
denomination Of Harrison was a fore
gone conclusion; in 1896 the movement
against free silver had fixed on McKin-
ley in advance Of the convention as the
man to lead the fight; and in 1900 not
