excellent record for good behavior,

When Letters Went by Hand.

There was a time when fashionable
folk held it discourteous to communi-
cate with a friend through the post
when it was possible to do SO by mes
senger. In Miss Louisa C~ourtenay's
"Notes Of an Octogenarian," published
some years ago, she remarks that
"when the twopenny London post was
established it was not etiquette to
make use of it for private letters l
remember my fathers annoyance when
a stupid London footman had posted a
letter to Sir Robert Peel instead Of
sending it by the groom. 1T seems so
impertinent.' he said, to send q letter

Meanwhile Mrs. Redfeld learned that
her husband had escaped from i'm
prisonment during the cyclone and his
body found under a wrecked building,

STEvEOORES FIND It HARD
TO SECURE ENOUGH LABOR
REVIVAL OF SHIPPING HAS MADE
THE DEMAND FOR LONG,
SHOREMEN GREAT.

The labor proposition. especially
along the river front, is getting to
be serious and just what is going to
be done about the matter is not
known.
The steyedores are having hard
time securing even half the help their
business demands and with the large
fleet now enroute here, in Port, it
will be even more. serious than at
present. Ii has been suggested that
labor from the inland counties be
persuaded to come here as the wages
paid are uch higher than they re-
ceive On the farm or factories. But
even it would help matters very lit
tie right no was it takes time to
become experienced as longshoremen.
In the meantime all are doing the
very best they can to satisfy ship
masters.

CITY'S FIRE ORDINANCE
IS BEING VIOLATED
FIREWORKS ARE BEING ExPLoD-
ED RIGHT IN HEART OF THE
BUSINESS DISTRICT.

The News has been Deseiged for
several days with requests to appeal
to the city authorities to suppress
the cannon cracker nuisance. Com
plants were especially numerous yes
terday and last night. Large dyna-
mite crackers were exploded on the
streets among groups of ladies' and
children. They are not only danger
ouS from the standpoint of manning
and distiguring people, but they are
liable to ignite clothing and they
are therefore menace to life.
The terrific noise produced by the
EXPLOSIONS is extremely disagreeable
and in cases ofsick and nervous peo-
pie almost uHbearabie.
The News Expresses the hope that
the mayor and those having iurisdic-
tion of this matter win promptly and
effectively enforce ample provisions of
law which have been enacted for the
immediate and permanent suppression
of this utterly useless nuisance, even
If it should be necessary to put ex-
ira men on the police force for this
purpose. A few arrests and liberal
fines will accomplish the purpose.
