According to tho list report of the Board
of Commissioners of Pllotu of tho port of
Now York there are 105 pilots holding
licenses from tho board. Of theso ninety
eight are holder of full branch licenses.
six have what Is known as a "twentylwo-
foot license," by which they nre limited
to serrlco on vessels of twonty-two feet
draught or less, and one of tho pilots has
an "eighteen-foot llccnoe."
Theso men take to sea and bring Into
port tho ocean-going vessels, relates tho
New York Tribune, and without being
known to many members of the community
they play an Important part and lead n
Ufa full of activity. The hendquartors of
tho association and the business office of
tho Board of Commissioners are at No. 17
State street, and in the same building tho
Sandy Mook Pilots' club has its rooms.
In this building tho pilots who aro await
ing their turn to bo nent out may bo found
at all hours of the day or night. Thu
ofllces are severely plain Btid have an nlr
of business about them, one of the Im
portant pieces of furnlturo being a large
blackboard, on which tho names of tho
pilots aro chalked and the order In which
they go on duty. The clubrooms bolow
aro handsomely furnished. There Is a
library, decorated with prints, paintings
nnd curios, nnd n cosy nmnklng room, In
which pictures of pilot boats, old and new,
ancient nautlcnl Instruments, nntlquc pilots'
licenses, souvenirs of notable son disasters
and portraits of well known pilots show

The IMInt Club,
About ninety pilots nro members of this
club, which was organized In 1805, when
tho now order of things, as to pilots for
the port of New York went Into operation.
Prior to that tlmo there were thirty pilot
boats in tho service belonging to New York
and New Jersey pilots. They cruised ns
far south ns tho Dolawaro capes and cast
to Halifax. "The boats wero out for busi
ness," said nn old pilot, "anu tne rartnor
cast they went tho more chance there was
Thero nre many grizzled and weather-
beaten men In the service and the ques-'
tloi Is frequently asked: "Where do the
new men come from?" The law provides
for tho regeneration of the force. Each,
pilot boat may havo one apprentice, who!
must be a citizen of the United States and
"not less than 18 years old. who shall have
a good common school education and he
shall servo for a term of two years." At
tho end of that time, If he has proven
satisfactory and capable, he may bo made
n boatkeepcr. Theso apprentices nro In
variably young men who have served ns
sailors, and they come on board the pilot
boat with much uccessnry knowledge of the
business. The boatkeepcr, or salllngmaster,
Is requited to servo three years. At the
end of that time he becomes eligible ns n
pilot, nnd when n vacancy occurs ho Is
examined nnd, It the commission finds him
competent, he receives n limited license,
which gives him the right only to net on
vessels of light draught.
According to tho Used tnblo of ptlotngo
tho compensation Is greater for Inward
than for outward work. A large vessel
pays JI.SS a foot to be piloted Into port
and $3.fC to be tfilicn out. The largo ocean
llnors drawing thirty-three feet pay J1C1.0I
Inward and J117.4S outward pilotage. Ves
sels of 6 feet draught up to 13 feet 6
Inches Inclusive pay 12.02 outward and
$2.7S inward pilotage; from 14 feet to 17
feet 6 Inches Inclusive, $2,33 nnd $3,38; from
18 feet to 20 feet 6 inches, $3.0S nnd 11.13.
Tho chnrge of $3.Ct and Jl.SG Is for ves
sels of more than twenty-one feet draught.

tho days when It was the practice to cover
tho light which n boat had to carry be
tween tho spring stays, so that rival boats
could not see the venturesome pilots pass.
It was a sharp race for first place, and tho
boats were built for speed on that account.
It was worth whllo to catch n vessel com
ing Into port, becauso the pilot who brought
her safe Into port had the Job, by common
consent, to take her out again when she
made tho return trip. Tho pilots kept
making their trips longer every year, and

In the days of competition tho New York

Under the new arrangement they havo com

sailing boats, of which two belong to tho
Now Jersey and Ave to the New York con
tingent, and one steamboat, of which the
Now York association own-j seven-tenths
and tho New Jersey association throe
tenths. With n reduced fleet and the com

Tho introduction of steam Into tho pilot

New York, tho stanch bont which Is dc
signed on the plan of a great lifeboat, with
two saloons and twolvo staterooms, has
dono such good ecrvlco that a new vessel
of tho samo design Is being built for the
service. The Now York Is stationed at tho
center of tho lino covered by tho pilot
boats, off flcdney channel. It places pilots
on incoming and takes pilots oft of out
going vessels. Tho sailing vessels crulso
on flvo stations and take such positions
that vessels cannot approach tho port with
out being seen by them.
When the pilot Is on duty down the bay,
waiting for a vessel to bo taken across tho
bar, ho may look llko an ordinary sailor,
with storm hat, oilskin coat and rubber
boots, but when ho Is taken alongside tho
Incoming vessel ho wears his "storo

"The pilot Is a great promoter of gam

Rev. Edward Frederick Trcfz, pastor of

the reported proposition tor tho sale of

In fact.
"It is true." said Rev. Trcfz. "that for

definite has ever resulted from these over

any publication Indicating transfer of the

proper authority. Of course, In view of the
commercial movement southward on Six

church grounds may somo time be sold
But Just now there Is absolutely nothing

"ATI0NERY (2 ""l""
Two remarkable human migrations nro
under way In the west, says tho New York
Evening Post. One of these movements Is
taking thousands of people every month
from tho states constituting the great mid
dle west to thoso of the far west, especirlly
tho northwest, while the other Is bringing
into the country made poorer through the
exodus a new set of people. Immigrants
from tho northern parte of Europe, Finland,
Norway, Sweden and Russia, come to make
their now home on lands which the tide of
emigration bus left unoccupied, or at least
available for a new set of tillers. From
tho beginning tho movement of the human
race has been to the wcatv.ard, due either
to political or rullgious oppression or to
economic conditions, Thoso of tho middle
west who aro seeking the Pacific coast have,
It appears, little excuse for their migra
tion because of adverse conditions, but havo
been overperijuadod by land and railway
agents.
The tide from tho old world that has set
In so tttrongly toward Michigan and other
states of late Is typical, however, and born
of tho universal desire to own a bit of the
earth on which to rear a home and make
a living. But It ono thinks It an easy mat

part of Europe to break up their homes

Desirous os thesb hardy northern people

less rigorous climate and desirable as they
are as agents In the building up of tho
west, the change is made with difficulty,
principally, perhaps, because they are so
unimaginative and phlegmatic and thus far
beyond the wiles of the ordinary Immigra
