SCHOONER BECOMES BARGE.
Vessel Damaged by Fire Enlarged
and Renamed.

Deprived of her tall masts and made
longer in hull, the former three-masted
schooner Joel +. Sheppard, changed into
barge and named the John 3. Wheal-
ton, will shortly leave shipyard at Sea-
ford. Del. ready for freighting work on
Chesapeake bay and its tributaries. The
vessel, laden with fish scrap bound to
bay point, caught fire about a year ago
while lying in harbor at Harborton, Va,
and was so badly burned that she sank.
After lying the bottom for several
weeks the vessel was sold and her pur-
chasers had her raised and taken to the
shipyard.
Examination showed that the hull was
comparatively little damaged and 1T was
determined to make a barge of the
schooner. She was cut in halves and her
length increased from 15o to 11o feet and
her beam was made thirty-five feet.
The new barge is designed for pilins
and heavy timber carrying service. and
with this in view she has large ports in
her bow and twenty-foot hatch forward

doned on Carolina Coast.

anything of value from the wreck of the

heavy gale in spite of all that seamanship
could do to save her. She dragged with
all anchors down. and soon after striking
the pounding she received caused her
seams to open. and when the crew left
her she had eight feet of water in her
hold. Seas were sweeping over her and
when they last saw her her deckhouses
were being wrecked by the waves. and
the shifting sands We're swallowing her
up. At the time of the accident the

The Eight-Hour Bill.
10 tue Editor Of The Star:

10 the Editor OF Inc Staf-
AS a suffragist ! feel complimented that
Mr. Charles Z. Robson, in his letter to
The Star of February 2S, persists in Civ
ing us the credit for SO progressive a
measure as the pending elgnt-hour Dill
for woman workers in, the District He
asks, however. why we exempt stenosra-
piers and domestic servants.
If he would read the pay ers more care
fully he would discover that the Peters
bill Of which he speaks. as reported from
the House committee on labor. and as in
dorsed by the National Consumers
League includes stenographers. They
were also included I'm the bill introduced
i'm the Senate by Mr.. La Toilette, but
were struck out in the Senate committee
by the senators themselves Whether ste
nographers will be included in the final
act as passed by both houses remains to
be seen.
Domestic servants and trained nurses
We're omitted from the recommendations
of the National Consumers League for
the reason, as Mrs. Kelley explained at
the hearings, that no attempt was made
to include ideal provisions which We might
like to have, but the bill was compiled
from legislation now effectively enforced
In other states and contains no provision
which is not now in force in some state.
We can seldom attain perfection at one
bound, and 1t was desired, above all. to
have law which had already stood the
us Will live to see the time when an eight
hour day will be the rule for domestic
servants. and I happen to know of at
least one establishment in this city (pre-
sided over by a suffragist) where it is
already In practice.
A better way to verify what will hap
pen when the bill becomes a law than
the way suggested by Mr.. Robson Of ask
ing the merchants for their views would
be to inquire what has happened in the
states where such a law is already In
force California has an eight-hour law
as have Washington and Colorado, and
Miss Younger of California testified at
the hearings that after the law went into
effect there merchants and other employ
ers found it a comparatively simple mat
ter to readjust their working force to
meet the requirements of the law, that
1T had not resulted in the replacement OF
women by men, nor had she been able to
find that wages were reduced, except In
few cases, where it was done arbi-
trarily. Does Mr.. Robson really think II
would be an easy matter to find men to
! take the places of girls who are getting
| the munificent wages of $4.OO and $500 q
week! The figures given by the bureau
or labor investigator showed that of the
200 girls in department stores in this
city whose wages were obtained, about
40 per cent were getting less than S6 a
week. and only IA per cent INCLUDING 2
department heads and buyers, were get
ting more than SO week

cucumbers. The pickles on the Heinz
farms have been picked and ii Is said
that the entire crop was exceedingly
small. The dry weather came Just
at the time when the pickles did not
have a good chance to form. Then
the dry weather continued until the
vines we're dried up and as result
the pickle factory in that city is ex-
periencing considerable difficulty in
