MANY REMONSTRANTS AGAINST SOUTHPORTER'S
 PETITION FOR LICENSE

A remonstrance signed by several organizations and many citizens of Southport was filed with the county commissioners yesterday against Christian Rist, who wants a liquor li- sence in Harbor road, Southport. It is alleged that the proposed location is within 200 feet of a, public school and also near the Wakernan Memorial association building
 There are about 50 signers to the remonstrance, including Judge John H. Perry, Superintendent William E. Smith of the Fairfield schools the Wakeman Memorial association and the Sasquanaug Association for Vil- 1age Improvement The commission CTS have not yet assigned a date for a hearing.
 The Memorial association last year remonstrated against Rist, who was then located ina different place, and after an appeal to the-superior court Judge Shumway overruled the county commissioners, who had granted Rist a license.

 SUBSTANCE
 .GenraI Harrison informed these hiefs and warriors that one of the urinary objects in calling them at his moment, was renewal of their lor1ner peace and friendship toward lach other-Other nations, however, being absent, but very soon expected, would be necessary to adjourn for heir arrival. In the meantime, he sequested the chiefs present to in rite their brethren, who were now at Maiden, to attend at the Spring Wells tthree miles below Detroit.)
 On the 25th the commissioners met asreeably ito adjournment.
 The messenger sent to Madden re- sirned for answer: that the message sent was delivered to their brethern fhen in council with the British com nandment, who answered for them" sayIn, that his great father -on the other side of the great waters, had Erected him to hold council at Afis very time, with red children and he could not think of letting the Chiefs hen present attend to the American lire then kindled at the Spring Wells, nntiI his council was over. If the young men. said he, wish to go there, lhey might. he had no objections; but the old men and the chiefs. (the pro phet being among the number) must not go for the present-they must fasten the soles of their feet to the British Shore.''
 The chiefs at the Spring Wells, tex pressed their satisfaction this day, at ! renewal of peace and friendship between them and the United States and sails that they were naked and very hungry and hoped that stheir fathers, the commissioners. would give them plenty of everything, par .kicularly bread. meat and whfskey-"

ITS TOUGH JOB.

If any of our readers wants to see a specimen of the toughest hardest kind of work we advise them to take a. stroll Aup Main street, to where the 1aborers are engaged in >excayating for the horse railroad. We do not know who planned. and constructed the pavement of that street, but who ever did was an zs'origina,l
 From depth of one foot to one foot and a half the formation is broken stone in size varying from small peb-' bles to a big Chunk ofs granite. Be- heath it is a layer of immense bould- CTS. tremendous rocks, and massive stones, round, ob1ong, crooked. every thing but square. Possibly the reader may have a fair conception of what it must be to pick, shovel, scratch and dig up such a deposit
 We were amused at an incident oc- curing whereabouts this morning. In the advance of the 1a.borers, was a couple of fsta1wart fellows engaged in digging up the first crust. Every blow of the pick brought their teeth together with a snap which would have crushed the molars and tncisors of an ordinary man. After a five min utes's trial one of them suggested to the other that it would be a good Idea for them to put on their coats, the weather being quite chilly. No. 2 took the hint, went to the fence, pro- cured the garment. which they deli sberately put on,I and them both made tracks down the street at a 2:40 gait. Their comrades soon discovered the dodge and raised a great laugh, The biggest of the runaways hearing it, turned about, and putting on comi- cal expression, said: teFaith, well may ye laugh, but have a. fine job wait ing for me down town, and continued his run.''

THE EMERGENCY EMPLoYEs

Between some of the officials of the board of Charities and some of the officials of the city hall, there is a difference of opinion as regards what constitutes attache of the Emergency. City Hall officials make the definition that Driver Dave Jack and Mrs. Jack. natFon, and Surgeon Joseph Brennan are attaches The officials of the board of charities think that the definition is too limited and that it should take in Supt. Bunnetl and Clerk G. c. Colt. People who are not concerned think it is a fine one.
 The cause of the differences grows out of a little resolution that was pre- scented to the Common Council, to the effect that the employees of the Emergency shall be paid the first of each month when their bills are re- ported and endorsed by the board of Charities.
 Auditor Heating said that he con- ferredi with Councilman Morrissey, who presented the resolution, as to what his intent was, and x that he agreed the view of the others in the City Hall and that it was intended to pay Pharmacist Brennan. Driver Jack and Matron Mrs. Jack. and not Supt. BunnelI or Clerk Colt.

WORK. AMBITION, AND THE LABOR PROBLEM.

An interesting side1ight on indus trial unrest was furnished the other day by a visitor from another state. He is in the business of shoe manu- featuring. Speaking of the low wages prevailing in many industries, he gave this bit of personal experience
 Some months ago the girls in the stitching Boorn of his factory, who had long been dissatisfied. became partic- u1ar1y rebe1lious. The majority of them were earning only about $5 per week. The company claimed it was all they earned.
 A system of piece prices was sug- gested by the employers. The girls were. hostile to it, feeling it was all a scheme to squeeze more work out of them.
 Finally the girls reluctantly con sented to try it out They found they could earn more without difh- culty Now the great majority of them are getting $1O to $11 per week. What is still more remarkable, the concern is getting the shoes stitched more cheap1y than before. In ar ranging new prices, the concern. now aims to make it possible for the girls to earn 20 to 25 cents an hour. and it can afford to- do it,
 This illustrates how indo1ently many people wNl work when their am D1tlOn IS noL IouSeus A1A0y eo"f>T AAo interest in the success of their en1- pIoyer, and plug along day after day without effort to improve their meth ods.
 Of course an instance like this is not the whole story. Many employers are indifferent to the welfare of their work-peopIe. They do not stop to think whether they are getting a liv- ing wage or not.

AN INDIAN BABY

There is one thing toi be grateful for in an incident that occurred this morning, and that is that it has com pIetely para1yzed the oldest inhabi- tant and rendered his memory useless The incident was the birth of In dian baby boy who will for some time to come reside with his parents, MT. and Mrs. William Nichols, of East Washington avenue. Nichols is em- pIoyed by H. A. Whiting, the garbage contractor.
 This is the first Indian baby boy born in Bridgeport in many years and his name and memory will doubtless long giId the pantheon of local his tory.
