Poverty Row.

Struggling and shaky, implanted ant
brown;
Outworn remains of time long ago
And called in derision '"The Poverty
Row."
A record the thoughtful may read as
they go,
The "sins CT the fathers" here glar'
ingly show;
The sons of the erring, the dull. and
the slow,
Perforce must oft house them in Pow
erty Row.
Poverty Row! Poverty Row!
A dolorous song for the lips or the
bow,
Yet virtue oft blossoms as pure as the
Within the drear confines of Poverty
|, Row.
And children here shout as they run
to and fro;
Brimming with mischief they play
and they grow;
The heirs of the shovel, the saw and
the hoe,
Go forth to their struggles from Pow
erty Row.
Poverty Row! Poverty Row!
laugh at it! Scott at it's want and
it's woe!
Who knows but martyr may heaven

From out the long penance OF Pov'

The Slavery Of the Shrimp Piekers
Children of more tender age are
employed in the shrimp and oyster
canneries than in any of the cotton
mills of the south, some Of them be-
ing only four or five years old. The
method of handling the oysters con-
sists in piling them into small cars
and running them into big steam
chests" out of which they come with
their shells open, so that, when spread
on long tables, it is an easy matter
to take out the meats. This Is atne
task allotted to the children, who,
under the stern eye of a "shucklng
boss" cut the meats out of the shells
and transfer them into tin buckets,
ready for canning.
This is an immense industry in the
~ulf states. At Pass Christian, Miss,
and other points great numbers OF
children are employed to shuck oys.
tiers in the canneries. Nearly all OF
them are of foreign parentage, and
largely they are Poles. They are o.
ten housed under the most squald
and unsanitary conditions, and 1t is
beyond question that many of them
die from the hardshps that they are
obliged to endure.
Most of these children coem from
Maryland and Delaware. They are
employed during the summer and ear.
" fall in the vegetable and fruit
canneries of those states, and are
shipped to the South in flocks to
shuck oysters and pick shrimps dur
ing the winter and spring.
DR.. A. J. McKelway, secretary Of the
National Child Labor Committee,
which has it's headquarters in New
York, says: "Our chief adversary
in the fight for a better child labor
law in Florida has been the owner
of an oyster cannery at Appalachicola.
I visited his factory and saw acres
of oyster shells fifteen feet deep,
great proportion of which had been
shucked by little children.

the committee, writes:

NEW YORK. April 12.-Plans are
now under way and are likely soon
to be adopted which provide virtually
for the remaking of New York City
as a port Commissions composed OF
engineers and city officials have been
studying for n long time the problem
OF providing for the more efficient and
economical handling OF the tremend-
out commerce which centres in this
city. and which has made Il the great
est port in the world. This investi-
CATION has resulted this week in the
submission OF two reports While

In essential particulars. and both pro-
vide for the practical rebuilding Of
the entire North River water front OF
Manhattan. The plan generally fav-
ored provides for the replacing OF the

the freight IS now hauled along the
river front by an elevated road 10 be
devoted exclusively 20 the handling
OF freight and 10 have spurs connect

10 rise n solid row OF giant ware
houses. connected with the railroad at
the second story level. BY this means
communication between any part Of
the waterfront and every other part
Will be direct and convenient. and 10
IS estimated that the cost OF handling
freight will be reduced forty per cent.
The great system OF giant terminals

pearance of the city from the North

that the cost OF the improvements
contemplated will be- 100000. 600 or
more. most OF which. however. will
be expended by private capital in the
construction of the terminal ware
houses. In this way the capacity Of
the city for handling commerce VIII
be greatly increased. and II rs be-
lieved that the loss OF business with
which the port is now threatened VIII

The pumping station at Trading
Cove brook was started on "Wednesday
morning, when samples of the water
before entering the filter and a sample
of water after going through the filter
were taken by Health -Ofiieer DR.. n. p.

an ANALYSIS to see if the filters are

ITCHING IRRITATION.
Worst Form Of Skin Trouble QuickI.
Cured by Inexpensive Treatmsnt.

When you suffer with any skin
trouble, even though the itching
seems unbeatable, do not think that
it is necessary to use some disgusting
greasy ointment. Try Hokara,. a pure
and simple skin food. that is suaran-
teed to contain no grease or acids
and whi1h is so clearly that it does
not soil the linen.
Its power to instantly relieve any
irritation of the skin and make it soft
white and beautiful is almost miracu-
lous.
Not only are minor skin troubles
like pimples.. blackheads, acne, bar
ber's itch, etc., quickly cured. but the
worst ulcers or cases of salt rheum
or eczema are cleansed and healed by
this wonderful skin food.
In order that any one may try Ho-
kara at small expense The Lee d Os-
good CO. are selling a liberal sized
jar at Csc and in addition guarantee
to refund the money If the treatment
does not do all that is claimed for. it
Larger size so cents.
