Child Labor.
Evils of the sweatshop. Of child Id

are portrayed in an exhibit which was
recently placed in the Church of the
Messiah. Park avenue and Thirty
fourth street, New York city, under
the auspices Of the Consumers league
an organizati ton which is carrying on
campaign against those evils. 1t is
but few steps from the exhibits to
the shopping district. where many of
the things made by little children for
a few pennies are sold for five and ten
times the cost.
bunch Of twelve artificial pink
rosebuds such as are used In trim
ming hat is hung on placard on
which the history of these flowers is
told. 1t took the little girl or woman
who made them three-quarters of a
minute to turn out one bunch, and for
twelve of these punches the maker
earned exactly l cent. BY working
constantly it was possible to earn as
much as 60 cents day. When these
flowers are sold in the shops, of course
they bring good deal more than
cent bunch.
According to members Of the Con-
sumers' league in charge of the dis
play, the case of the twelve rOsebuds
is only one of many in which work
done by women and children for next
to nothing is sold to the consumer at
a handsome profit. Artificial flowers
are not the only products of the tene-
ment house wOrkroom. Fancy lace
collars. trimmings. crochet work and
children's finery are all included in the
list. Specimens of such work are
shown in the exhibit, and with them
are photographs Of the rooms where
they were made and the people who
made them-New York Post.

nection with the general management

dates has proved disastrous financially.
AS result ii is probable that a COM

as possible.
The great dissatisfaction Is said to
exist among the State fair organiza-

is being discussed. The proposed cir
cult would embrace the big fair of
the Province of Ontario, the Michigan

vote at the special election in the WILL
age of Red Jacket today To determine
the successor to Clerk n. f. Kaiser.
At $3.50 o'clock this afternoon over 47O
ballots had been cast and il is believed
that the hot personal canvass, which is
being conducted by the respective can
didates for this office will result i'm al
most the total vote being registered
at the polls. While the general i'm
preston prevailed that the vote would
be light at this election, the reverse
seems to be the case.
There are nine candidates in the field
for the office of clerk, John ]. Ellis, Jr..
Peter Coppo, Angelo Curto, Louis ST.
bilski, Joseph +. Glasson, Albert Burk-
man. Edward Dunn. John ]. Plautz
and Richard Raey. All of these have
been working hard to land the office
and the result is very much in doubt.
The successful candidate will prob
ably qualify for the office at once and
will assume his new duties on Decem-

Kaiser takes effect. Mr. Kaiser will
probably remain with his successor for
short time until he familiarizes him
