EMPLOYEES "Sweated."

The clerks in the dry goods and
other stores of England, shop assist
ants, as they are called here, being
unskilled workmen, have no effective
unions, and so they have been Sweat
ed mercilessly by the meaner class
of employers. They have to work
twelve to fourteen hours a day and
their wages are so scant that they
can scarcely make both ends meet.
Winston Churchill, secretary of the
board of trade, is framinc legislation
to change this condition of affairs.
If adopted by parliament, these en-
ployes will not be worked for more
than sixty hours week, nor will they
be worked after eight o'clock on more
than three nights week.

Desirable Publicity.

No advertisement is more valuable
to British tradesman than the royal
warrant which allows him to place
the royal arms over his place of bust
ness and describe himself as a "pur-
veyor by appointment to his majesty,
the king" Each tradesman who has
the royal custom must send in his
bill at the end of the month. 1t is
compared with his ledger account kept
at Marlborough house and if correct
is paid in the first week of the month.
No discount is asked on any of the
royal accounts, a trade man who re-
ceives the royal custom is informed
he must supply goods at the lowest
reasonable prices, and there is never
any attempt at bargaining by the Off
cial of the royal household.

instance, remains unsold if it is not

Haddock an exactly opposite taste

upon white or black legged chickens

Grey geese are scorned; brown eggs

The guildhall is an important public
building in London. which may be re-
garded as the town hall, and is the
place Of assembly Of several courts. as
the court Of common council. the court

of the aldermen. The construction of
the building was begun in 1411. 1t

In 1889 1t was altered to its present

Best Schedule Changed.

The change put into effect yester-
day by the directors of the Cunard
line by which, the Luscitania and
Mauretania, largest steamships of the
line, will pass Queenstown until De-
cember 81 has created no end of dis
satisfaction in Ireland. Although all
of the other ships of the line will stop
at Queenstown, the Irish people say
that they will not be content unless
the Luscitania and Mauretania call
there also. The directors of the Cum
ard Company declare that the change
is only a trial, but the Irish agitators
protest that the change comes at a
time when the tourist rush from across
the Atlantic has practically ceased
and that from Queenstoyn's point of
view is not favorable. So serious has
the agitation grown that a committee
from Queenstown will start for Wash

to place the matter before Postmaster

PROMOTED THE COOK.

An Error Made Him Professor of
History In Russia.
Some years ago the minister Of edu.
cation in st. Petersburg was appealed
to by telegraph for a cook, to be bur.
ried to Moscow. The operator got his
dashes and dots mixed. but by next
train q man arrived and was ceremoni-
ously conducted to the university.
where he was introduced to the assem-
bled faculty and students as the new
professor In history.
The unhappy fellow protested that.
while he might be professor Of pots
and pans, he knew nothing about his
tory. BUT in Russian official life it is
harder far to correct an error than to
make one. SO for several years the cook
has held his professorship. though no
one attends his lectures.
Another laughable story comes from
the Suwalky school for boys. A door
keeper there who could scarcely read
or write had grown so untidy and
slow that he was no longer useful, but
as the headmaster did not want to set
him adrift he promoted him to teach
er's post and had him transferred to a
distant school. He, too. will be pro-
fessor some day.-Moscow Letter In

Two New JUDGES.

+. The recent appointment of two new
members gives to the kings bench
eighteen judges, and it is hoped that
the appointments will put an end to
many complaints regarding the delay
in this court. About 10000 cases are
filed annually in the kings bench.
Not all of them, of course, come up
for hearing. OF these 10000 about 3d.
900 are set down for trial and of these
about 1000 actually are tried. Two
thirds of these cases are tried in Lon
don, the other third on circuit. 1t is
estimated that each judge annually
tries 120 cases; twenty years ago the
average was ISL cases.

N RUSH ON NEW
PENN1Y TRAINS
MANY MISS GOAL
Intend Reaching Jersey City and
wake Up in Tenderloin
in New York.

Many Newarkers participated in an
epoch-1naking event yesterday when
they rode on the first Pennsylvania
railroad passenger train run from the
new Manhattan terminal to the Man
haitian transfer on the Harrison
meadows.
The train was a Perth Amboy local
and at Harrison a locomotive picked up
the train and carried 1t to its destina-
ton. The train left New York at 1907
yesterday morning and fourteen min
utes and ten seconds later the Har-
rison station was reached. There some
time was lost because the locomotive
which was to pick up the train was
late.
When the morning rush hours started
today there was some confusion at the
Market. street. station and also at the
Harrison transfer station by those
commuters who had not taken the
trouble to fnd out what the changes
in the train system meant.
AS a result many tried to board
trains that would land them at the
Thirty-third street station when they
wanted to go to Jersey City, and vice.

A large number were late to business
because they had neglected to Inc out
II changes had been made in time

times than before. in some cases leav-
ing Newark earlier and in other cases
later than formerly.

Church, East Orange, which has been
rebuilt, wa opened again for divine
worship yesterday afternoon, when i'm

and for many years pastor Of the
church. There was an attendance OF
many persons outside the parish, invi-
tations having been sent to other de-
nominations to participate.
The church was established eighteen
years age with DR.. Thomas as its first
pastor. The rapid growth Of East Or
ange. particularly the extreme north
erlya section where the parish is sit
Lated. caused the first edifce to prove
inadequate and the need for more room
became imperative. Plans were accord
ingly made for a $25, 900 addition, and

urated and Is now completed, In add
ton to an extensive heating and VEN
tilating system. The church audi
forum has been enlarged by an add
ton on the north side and by sinking
the pulpit and organ into the south
side additional space was secured. Sew

were taken for transepts, an inclined
floor has been built and the interior
