FIVE MINERS WANTED
HERE IN CONNECTICUT!

Hartford. ian. THE state free
employment bureau has just received
a somewhat unusual request for help.
This is a call for five miners from the
Kaolfn Co. Of Cornwall, Conn, for en-
ployment in their underground clay
pits. Either Russians or Italians
are desired, both married and single.
Single men are requested to bring
their own bedding with them is the
company's remark. To those who are
willing to work Underground, liberal
wages will be paid. A request for
work of such sort is very unusual, and
it is somewhat surprising to learn that
Hartford should be considered as a
field for the recruiting of miners
The last week, according toy Supt
Clarke, has kbeen one of unusual
pressure of business at the employ
ment bureau. The office has been
regularly filled with a crowd of ap-
plicants for work. There have been
twice as many as there was at the
corresponding time last year. despite
the great prosperity enjoyed by Hart
ford this winter.

CALAIS.

The first foreign foreign occupation
of the French seaport of Calais came
to an end So years ago to-day, when
the English, who had held the town
for more than two centuries, were
driven out by the Duke of Guise. The
French again lost Calais in 1896, when
it was taken by the Spaniards, who
held it for two years, when it was
restored to the French. Calais was
one of the most important of the Kali
ser's detectives in the present war,
since it's proximity to England would
enable him TO 'shold a pistol at the
heart of John Bull but the Ger
man, efforts ended in failure. The
loss of Calais was a great blow to
Queen Mary, and she died soon after
ward, declaring that you will find
Calais engraved upon my heart. The
victory of the Duke of Guise on Jan. T.,
1858, was not a matter for boasting,
for he led against the city an army
of 10000 men, while the English gar
rison numbered only 500. At the
time of the English occupation Calais
was only a fishing village, but it has
become since then a highly import
ant port, and the French terminus of
the principal route between England
and the continent. 1t is possible, on
a clear day. to see the cliffs of Eng
