HEW YORK'S ' NEW SCHOOL LAW Teaching tbo Effects of Alcoholic Drinks mid Tobacco , EDUCATORS OF THE STATE NOT PLEASED ClinpdTN Aililoil ( o ( lip Ilrnllli llookn nnil Plijulfiiliiio Snme S iiitlo | t HIMV flu * IiiMtrue- t Ion In ( Jlven. In conformity with ft law passed by the last legislature of Now York the youth of the empire state are being taught the nature anil effects of alcoholic beverages and tobacco on the human system The new branch of study , against which the best oJucators of the ttala protested In vain. U tacked on to that of physiology and hygiene. Uy the word "nature" Is meant the com- pcslto Ingredients of alcoholic beverages , and In order to be thorough and avoid com ing In conflict with the precise construction of the law , which , when neglected , calls for a vsry large Indemnity flnc , teachers rro compcllej to teach their pupils the pro portions of everything that goes to make up beer and splrltous liquors. The children of Now York therefore will not only know that the consumption of beer and wine Is Injurious , but they will also know how to inako these flrlnks. Based on the old theory that familiarity with alcoholic bev erages has never made n drunkard , and the further oft established fact that preach ers' rv.ns , and those who have been forced to a'ff.tmlousncss , make the worst drunk ards , this now course of study just Intro- Uuced , In the New York schools may work both ways. Doing able to rncke whisky out of a bushel of wheat , just as they would make soup out of a soup bone and water , they may not care for It all. On the other hand the noble profession of brewers and distillers may be largely Increased for the benefit of those who arc not lucky enough to receive Instruction about these things at the expense of the state. New York public schcol authorities do not take kindly to the addition of the new branch of wisdom. They say that the children have at present more than enough to do with the elementary studies comprise ! In the course of study plan. Hut the adherents of the now plan pooh-pooh these objections and base their defense of the new Irtw on half u dozen text bcoka with such captivating titles as "Health for Uttle Folks , " "Stowoll's Primer of Health , " "Hlalsdell's Child's Hook of Health , " "Jlohonnot and Ilouton's The Human Dody and How to Take Care of It , " "Stonell's A Healthy IJody , " and "Dlalsdell's How to Keep Well , " all of which have been carefully revised arid new chapters added on the subject of drink and Finoko. The primer entitled "Health for Llttlo Folks , " for iibo In the primary departments , contains thu first reference to the poisons of liquor and nar cotics. Hero Is what Is Impressed upon the younestors : "Men sometimes cquceze out the sweet julco of good fruits and make It Into poison ous drinks. It Is a great pity to have the fruit that Is good for our use spoiled to make drinks that do us harm. It Is well for us to learn how these drinks are made , then we shall know why they are harmful. " When the quality of the breath has boon fully dilated upon , the bones are taken up , and then the rnusclet' . From the latter the teacher passes on to the brain , the nerves and the sk'.n. At the conclusion of th's first scries of lessons the Infants are taught that the worst mistake people make Is to think that alcohol can either warm them nor cool them. "Tho Trlrner of Health"s \ the second book put Into the hands of the youngsters. Chapter G treats of alcohol as food , and In this , respect the statement , Is made that there Is absolutely no virtue Is drinking a glass or two of alcoholic llcluor , wine or beer with food. Smoking oter , ( dinner la ; treated In the same way , and a lot ol evil effects mentioned that como In the wako of either habit. Then tea and coffee corne In for their share of condemnation , and water and rnllk are cited us the only fit beverages to go Into a person's stem ach. Lesson 18 Is a rather poetic one , and the pernicious Influences of tobacco are put In rhyme thus : Cigarette ? , they say , nre harmless Just n tiny Ilttlo ro'.l ! But the appetite they waken Soon might get bcyoml control ; And tobncco chains would bind us , Slaves In body nnd In toul. The reasons why boys should not smoke tobacco are printed In Italics , as follows ; "Tobacco takes away the appetite. Tobacco affects the brain. Smoking Is a filthy habit. Smoking makes hoys deceitful. Smoking often leads to drinking. " All boys should Say no ! to tobacco , that poisonous weed ; Hay no ! to nil evils ; they only can lead To shame and to sorrow .Oh , shun them , my boy. For wisdom's fair pathway of peace nnd of Joy. Chapter 17 asks : "Doeo alcohol give strength ? " and answers : "Notice a person who Is under the Influence of strong drink. He has a staggering gait. Ills tongue Is thick and his IIrigors arc clumsy. Hut , you ask , 'Suppose a person should take only a small amount of alcohol , ai < a glass or two of beer , or a glass ( Of wine or whisky , would not this glvo strength to his muscles ? No , IndeeJ , for It Is positively known that alcohol -weakens the muscles. The workman with Ills nlo or beer cannot do so much work ati ho can do without It. " Chapter IS concludes with this Ilttlo lest'Oh ' for the children : Honor and virtue , love nnd truth , All the Klory nnd pride of youth. Hope of manhood , the wic.ith of fnme , High rmlenvor and noble aim , Them are the treasures thrown away An the price of n drink from day to day. The Instructions for making the various brands of strong drinks are very full anil Illustrated with cuts of stills. Four lessons a week are devoted to this now branch. KII2I.I ) KOK IIOIIIIIIOS.

The Now York law and similar laws In other states calls out a vigorous protest from David Starr Jordan , .president of the Lelaud Stanford university , formsrly state superin tendent of schools In Indiana. The grounds of his objection are that It Is not scientific to prescribe by law a foregone conclusion for the teacher to Inculcatn ; that the prescription of this teaching In the schools prcresds from reformers who cire , more to dUsomlimto their views than to observe Mlcnllflc methods , cf which they nre generally Ignorant ; that distorted and ex- agger.Uo.1 statements under the guiseof ( "Clencci " are reactionary and dcstructlvd oi. the truth-loving faculty ; and that vlrtuo Is not acquired by memorizing ( ho dicta of theorists , oven If they be true. Ho does not .object to Instruction concerning the' evils of depra\t > d appetites us a part of hygiene , but thinly ( ho reformer ! ) overdo the matter , to the Injury of their own CHUN , and must eventually ho driven from the field , .More over , ho contends , with Justice , that the pur pose pf the schools Is to mitke Intelligent men and women , and that they should not ho made the field for exploiting the fads of very worthy and wcll.mejiilng hut visionary theorists and reformers. To selzo upon tffo va t wit em of public schools In order to mak * them Instruments ) of a propaganda would b ] a dangerous precedent , Dr. Jordan's argument goes on to reduce the position of the reformers to the ah- mirdlly of asking too much , For example , the 'Spoils system" of government la to poll- ties what alcohol Is to the animal economy. Civil Rervlco reformers might be glad to In sist that every text book on United Stales history ut'cd In the tchools should reiterate their views again and again , with Intent to revolutionize our politics. In the tame way the manufacturers of oleomargarine might demand that our teachers should In > struct the children a certain number of tlme.i In a Meek that their products are free from the tuberculosis and other microbes that may Infest a dairy , and a certain baking powder manufacturer might Insist that children iiliould bo told In school that the purity of hli preparation gave It superiority over others Injuriously adulterated , The domain of the tchoola la education , and not a theater for the exploitation of hobbles. When lie Uv.dl Hi Indiana , Dr. JorJun w s ooo of a state cor.unUbloii to arrange tor * uniform series of text book * for us ? In the prhoolb. Into this scries the commission In * troduced a phyHology that taught the subject rvlcntlflcally. U stated , with emphasis nnd force , the evil effects of nlcohol , tobacco and nnrcctlcr , but put them In due subordina tion to the whole subject. The book was not satisfactory to the Woman's Christian Tem perance union , and this organization suc ceeded In supplanting It with a book which It approved. The publishers cf a text book on hygiene announce their obligations to the "Superintendent of the Department of Scien tific Instruction of the National Woman's Christian Temperance union , who has care fully revised this work. " Now Dr. Jordan protects tint this Is not the way to make text books. If soms exemplary woman , Igno rant of science , Is to put her Indorsement on a physiological treatise before It "can become - como n proper school book , why not subrnll a'l other text books to the revision of pome reforming association ? It Is the doctor'o opinion that the cause ct temperance can re ceive no srnljftantl.il aid from such Intern- psrato zsal. Tn.\Clll3IIS * TIIAIMMJ SCHOOL.

The or ganization Is similar to that of the training tc'.iools of Cincinnati , Cleveland and Colurn- bu ? , and the general plan Is almost Identical In Its departments of theory nnd of practice with that proposed by the committee ol fifteen , \\hose report , as supplementing that of the committee of ten , has now become famous. These reports are widely accepted as the basis of correct educational procedure. The course In the Omaha school occupies ono and a half school years. One-third ol thl time Is spent by fhe pupil teaching In actual work In the schools. The practice de partment.consists cf eight rooms , two at each of the following schools : Mason , Lake , Long and Lothrop. At each of the four school * named an cxpsrlenccd and skillful teacher Is placed as critic teacher. She has as as sistants two young women who have grad uated from the High schcol and spent live months In the department of theory of the trainingschool. . All lessons In the practice school are planned carefully , at first by the critic teacher , gradually more and more by the pupil trachern. At the end of each day the work of the next Is planned and the work of the day just passed Is crltlclsjd. In the department of theory the elementary branches are , reviewed , civics , phytlolugy , psychology , history of education , music , drawing , pen manship , etc. , are taught. Lessons ara given by the- pupil teachers to their fellow puplU In ( he special branches of Instruction. These are under the direction of the supervisors. Lessons are also given to classes of children from the practice school. These are planned by the pupil teacher , and the plan , when written out , hi submitted fcr criticism to the prlnclp2l of the fahool and to the- class of pupil teacher ? . The completed lesson Is also criticised. The principal of the school gives the In struction In the department theory nnd super vises the work In the department of practice. Th3 scholarship average of the training t'chool ' Is excellent , as n High school educa tion Is required for entrance. Of the flfty- two graduates of the cchool about thirty are at present In the employ of the Hoard of Education. Eleven have marrle-J. The pchool has been established five years and furnishes but a moiety of the teachers needed In the schools. Colunililii.'Nev HnllilliiKN. The trustees of Columbia college have re cently accepted plans for two additional buildings Schermerhorn hall , the gift of Mr. William C. Schermerhorn , chairman of the board of trustees , and the physics build- Ing. They will be erected , says Harper's Weekly , on the northeast corner of that portion tion of the Mornlngslde Heights properly now conHdared available for building , and will bo on Amsterdam avenue , though fac ing and entered from an Inner quadrangle. The designs have been prepared by Messrs , McKIm , Mead" & White , the- architects of the new Columbia library , the center around which the other buildings are to be erected. The new halls will be cf the Italian ren aissance style of architecture , and will be constructed of red brick and limestone , Schermerhorn hall , the larger , being 200x80 feet , while the physics building Is 150x50 feet. Doth bulldlnga will bo four stories In height , with basement and sub-basement. Schermerhorn hall has bsen particularly designed to accommodate the various de partments of natural science , and faces to the south , enjoying a bright light , which will afford ample opportunity for microscopic work. It will contain In the rear , on Its first and second floors , a largo amphitheater for scientific lectures , besides museums , lab oratories' , libraries , lecture rooms and studies for the officers of Instruction. An Instance of the completenessof the design of the building Is exhibited In the rooms of the de partment of experimental psychology , where a "quiet room" Is to be constructed sur rounded entirely with asbestos packing BO that experiments may be conducted free frcrn all external d'sturbance. The physics building will be similar In de sign to Scliernierhorn hall , but will have two entrances , and extend along Amsterdam ave nue , facing the west. In this building the purposes for which It Is built have been most carefully considered , the final arrangement being th8 result of several years' study qn the part of the staff of the department of physics , A large lecture'room and laboratories for the many branches of this extensive science have been provided , while below the sub-basement fl constant-temperature room Is to bo excavated In the solid rock , I nlvcrxlly i\lfiiHlon. : / Statistics In the last printed report of the extension iKpirtment of the University of the State of Now York show thirty-three libra ries and Institutes chartered , admitted and registered during the year ending September 30 , ISO ) , and $10,351.92 apportioned to libra ries frcu to the public for borrowing or ref erence which had raleed an equal amount.

Stopping a street car Is a recognized ar and It Is seldom that you find any two per sons 'who employ the ramo irnethod In bringing- ono of the modern vehicles o travel to n standstill. Some years ago the favorite way of stop ping a street car was to present a loadei revolver at the head of the man who stooi en the front platform. This plan of opera tlon , however , had Its disadvantages am was relegated to the rear , so far as this city wao concerned , during the early winter cf 1SS4. In those days horses furnished the motive power for the street cars. One dark night Conductor Wooldrlge was driving wha was then known as the "Green Lino" car The tracks over which this car passed extended tended from Hanscom park and down Into the center of the city , out on Flftecntl streit , winding over onto Eighteenth strce to Lake , and from there to the car barn nt Twenty-sixth and Lake. During the night heretofore mentlonei Wooldrlgo was pushing his horses along or the last trip out. Just as he reached the Intersection of Eighteenth and Sprue ? streets In the rear of A. J. Poppleton's residence Jim Rugard' stepped from behind a tree ant attempted to stop the car. In doing so , he pulled a revolver and commenced firing a' ' Wooldrlgc , at the same time telling him to stop and turn over the contents of the cash box. Wooldrlgc pulled up his horses nnd at the ramo time ho pulled a revolver Hugard climbed onto the front end of the car , and ns he did PO Wooldrlge sent n bul let through his body. The result was tha Rugard died a couple of hours later nm Wooldrlge was voted a hero. Since that time the Rugard plan cf stopping street cars has been decidedly unpopular. YET THEY STOP THE CAR. There Is ono certain class of people whenever never fall to stop their car. They may stop every car between the depot and the cits hall , but they never fall to make , n stop They have been sjelng the sights and are going home to Hog Bend , Mo. Squire Drown carries a cotton umbrella with an elastic band around It. Mrs. Brown clutches wltl a tight grip one of his arms , and as ho waves the umbrella In the air , after the manner of the arms of a. windmill In a Dakota cyclone , she btands on tip-toe am fans the nlr with her free arm until the n'otorrnnn Is driven wild. The squire gives color to the stopping process by emitting "HI there. " The car stops , the squire grabs his wife , she grabs her skirts and they make a rush for the platform. They stop before getting on the car and ask If It goes to the depot , It It stops at the depot and If It passes the depot from- which the Hog Hcni train starts. They enjoy'the exercise , for It Is full of excitement ( for them , If not for the trainmen. The up-to-date tailor made girl of Omaha betrays little , emotion oyen In stopping n street car. She stops a car Just as she stops anything else that she wants to. After making her signal to the motorman she stands on the sidewalk until the. car comes to a full stop. Then she lifts her skirts abou an eighth of an Inch and slowly and mos carefully tip-toes her way to the car. Jus as she is about tostep upon the platform the conductor rings the bell to go ahead an-1 a moment later the taller , made girl Is Inside the car and safely ensconced In one coiner. The dry-goods clerk sla a versatile being In the stopping ot.iv , street car , Iui.lie ( mornIng - Ing he will run. three blacks and catch a North Twentieth street "car and never be the. worse for It , but on a Sunday'when ho has put on his silk hat and his other clothes , he takes the head o his cane from his mouth and feebly waves the walking stick at the motorman. Then when the car stops he gets on with lordly ceremony. METHODS EMPLOYED BY OTHERS. "There Is nothing like an 'umbrel' for making those fearlul vehicles " stop , remark an antlquatcJ music teacher to a frlenc whom she found on a Sherman avenue car the other day , after she had laborious ! } swiped the sun shade to and fro , while the car had been coming from Clark to Nicholas street. She had climbed on will rome little difficulty and had looked daggers at the motorman because he had allowed the car to go a couple of feet beyond the cross ing. Dignity Is the next best thing to an "umbrel. " There Is a well known man who takes the Walnut Hill car , who always stops It with dignity. In fact he has done so for years past. He 1ms learned the value ol the impresslveness of the will of a strong man over that of a street railway employe. The woman who Is a member of the suffrage society stops the Tenth street car and nt the same time makes the train men feel the- force of her Influence. She walks with a stately tread and shoots her finger out In the direction of the motorman In a way that makes him start and dodge. She carries a few reports of the Woman's Suffrage association under one arm and Intimates to the conductor that she could glvo him a few points on running a car. Then she occupies enough room for two persons , focuses her glasses and looks about the car In a manner that Is Intended to freeze the other passengers. The man who Is always late In catching a car annoys not only the train men , but the regulars who llvo along the lino. Ho clgnals the car when he Is three blocks away and then he leisurely walks to the street. If the car does not wait for him he files a complaint with the officers of the road and asks for the discharge of the men who operate the car. Ho does not realise that nnotner car will ue along In a few minutes , nor does ho care If the particular car that ho has held up contains n half dozen men who are hurrying to the depot to catch a train. While quietly sauntering along he does not stop to think that on the car ard n rcore of men and women who nro going to jo late at their places of business and likely to liavo their salaries cut on account of the delay that they liavo experienced. SOLID AS A ROCK. If there Is ono thing more than another that Impresses travelers who go east on the Burlington's "VestlbulDdi Flyer" It Is the excellence of the trach/over which they rldo.

J cccceccccccccccccccccsoccc * The sacred concert which was given a St , John's Collegiate church lat-t night wl long rcmiln a landmark In thernuslca chronology cf Omaha. It Is doubtful whcthc local talent was ever united In so notable performance before nnd tbo success achieve was so extraordinary ni ; to Inspire the fen that It will bo long before Its like Is hear again. The principal feature of the enter talmncnt was the rendition of RoslnP sublime production , "Stabat Mater , " by th St , John's church choir , augmented to chorus of plxty voices ) , and Including rcmc o the best local soloists. The production under the condtictorshlp of Mr. Thomas . Kelly , with Mr. W. T. Tabor at tbo organ To say that this rnasterplcca of sacred mclod was successfully rendered would be but mean tribute to an achievement for whlc no words of praise could be too extravagant It wao a revelation to the people who Jammc < the auditorium. The character of the com poy'.tlon nnd the well known ability of man of the singers had led them to anticipate a enjoyable performance. But the exqulslt blending of cultivated voices , the pcrfec tlon Of shading and the full , well roundc cmomblo which filled the arches with sue sublime harmony wau eJOlclent to convlnc the most skeptical that Omaha had muslca resources that had never been sounded am that a mark had been set far beyond a' previous bounds. It Is a pleasure to wy that the audlenc wau commensurate with the PUCCCSS of th undertaking. Hundreds cf people came hal an hour early In order to obtain the bss seatfl. But they found nearly every pc\ occupied. The chancel and the aisles wer seated with chain' , which accommodated bu a small portion cf the multitude that con tinned to pcur through the doors. The re rnalnlng standing room was utilized to th last Inch. The church was jammed tc. th outer doora nnd scores of late comero wcr unable to squeeze themselves Into the build Ing. The ushers had a difficult task , but the performed It with exceptional grace. Three numbers i receded the main per fornmnce. Mr. Taber played Weber's "Do Frolschutz , " which was followed by th "Gloria In Exceisls" from Mczart's twclftl mass by the full choir. This was superbly rendered , giving the audlcnco Its first con ceptton of the strength and spirit of th choir. Mrs. O. H. Simon's beautiful soprano was heard to Its best advantage In the " Will Extol Thee , 0 Lord , " from the oratorl of "EH. " Her rendition of the rather trying selection was especially commendable. It would be difficult to discover any feature of the "Stabat Mater , " at which commenda tlon could justly begin. The excellence of Its performance at no time fell to mediocrity The soloists wcro well chosen nnd It sceniei that each voice was at Its best In honor of the occasion. And the chorus was In no respect deficient. While It was particularly strong In basses and sopranos there was no audible weakness of the remaining ingredi ents. It was the bassos that first challenged admiration , as they filled the cathedral wltl the low opening notes. Then the tenors blended harmoniously. The high , clear tones of the sopranos gradually Joined the melody ind then the full power of voices and organ swelled In the grand crescendo. The quarte measures of the opening chorus , were sunt , by Mrs. Bethge , Mrs. Lange , Captain Klnzle and Mr. Hoffman. C. A. Jacobsen sang the "Pro Peccat'.s , ' after which the duet , "Quls Est Homo , " was creditably rendered by Mrs. Coffman and Mrf , Lange. Mr. Burkley was substituted In the quartet for the "Sancta Mater" and this was magnificently sung. The soprano solo " "Fac ut Portem"as well as the "Inflam- matus. ' , " were sung by Mrs. Cudahy , whose well cultivated voice was fully equal to the exactions of the score. Mr. Jacobsen's best effort was the solo , "Ela Mater , " In whlcl he was supported by the full choir. Captain Klnzlo's solo , "Cujus1 Anlmani , " was ad mirably sung and the quartet , with Mr Beresford as basso , again did itself credit In the "Quando Corpus. " In the finale the choir made Its best effort which very appropriately rounded out a per formance that all present would be gad ! to hear a second time. The soloists were : Mrs. E. A. Cudahy , Mrs. V. II. Coffrnan , Mrs. 0. H. Simons , Mrs. A. F. Bethge , sopranos ; Mrs. F. J. Lange , contralto ; Captain John Klnzle , tenor ; Mr. Paul D. Bercsford , baritone ; Mr. Harry V. Burkley , baritone ; Mr. Carl Hoff man , basso , and Mr. C. A. Jacobsen , basso. The chorus Included Mesdames Downey , Mcrlarty , Dally , Corby , Thomas , Hawley , Misses Hayes , K. Burkhard , O'Rourko , Ruch , Brown , Seaver , Qulnn , Croft , C. WIckham , Maher , sopranos ; Mrs. Gray , Mrs. Maher , Mrs. McAllister , Misses Crelghton , Burkley , Brennan , Burkhnrd. Hush. Croft , Kosters , Myers , altos ; Messrs. Whltehorn , DeHacker , Mellen , Doyle , Mahcr , Brennan , Owens , Muller - ler , Ingoldsby , Provost , McCunc , tenors ; Messrs. Lurnbard , Braun , Baumer , Murray , Klnsler , Shank , Dally , Plckett , Paschol , Rowe , Bushman , Swift , bassos. "A Fool for Luck1' at Boyd's last evening was not favored by the usual Sunday night crowd , but the amusement furnlehcd was In a general way excellent for farce-comedy. Any other name would suit the play as well fclnce It U used merely as an excuse for the appearance of a mirnlnr of specialty people above the avcrag ; , and as ( ho mirth-producing combination. The soncs and dances are good , though porno of the jokes perpetrated are tottering with ago. Joe Cawthorn anil Miss Annie IJuckley monopolize n largo part of the time and nro assisted by a number of good voice ? , pretty faces and graceful dancers. A thrilling comedy-drama , "Tho Sidewalks of New York , " opened an engagement at the Crelghton yesterday. The piece ID put on aa a scenic master work , and latest effect In realism , and Is elaborately staged. The name very largely Indlcctes the character of the production. The champion high diver of the world , Kearney Speed , drops a distance of thirty-five feet Into a tank of water , much o the amusement of ono class of theater mtrono. The house was favored with rather L fair Sunday nlpht crowd , though "Tho Sldewalku of New York" Is not calculated to arouse any startling degree of enthusiasm. The great success of "Powhottan" Saturday night has decided the ladles of All Saint's o repeat the opera on Thursday night. Seats go on sale Tuesday at Hoyrt's. "Powhnttan" s full of good music , pretty dances and Is a decided novelty. The Crelghton management announces for ho near future a two night engagement - > f he talented actor , Richard Mansfield , In a elect repertoire of hlu most successful plays , John Dillon , the well known comedian , will open a four night engagement at the Crclgh- on , with Sunday matinee , February 1C , pro sentlng his successful comedy , "A Model lusband.

ASSESSMENT OF 10 CENTS PER WEEK M nt y lo 1I - UN CM ! Only In Cum-H of : Actual DcNtltiitloti Other PlmiH fur AldliiKT tliv Out-of- Work. , The scheme embodied In the resolution : pissed at the mass meeting In Labor Temple- Saturday night , regarding a 10 cent fund for the partial support of the unemployed , Is. receiving cordial endorsement from mem bers of the various unions. A largo number of the members of tho- several trades organizations , who are- employed during the v.'cck , make a practice of congregating Vt.jtnc . Labor Temple Sun days and the usual crowd was at the Tcmpla- yesterday. The 10 cent fund was tbo prin cipal topic of conversation nnd It was the. general opinion that a resolution in support of the plan should be Introduced in each trade- organization. This Idea will be carried out during this , week and the originators of the plan feel very confident that ( lie result will be entirely ; satisfactory. It Is estimated that there are fully 3,000 members of trades unions who. are employed steadily and u contribution ot 10 cents from each of these men would crcato a fund of $300 per week , which would go- far toward relieving the most urgent cases of destitution. Some of the members of the Central Labor union were discussing the matter yesterday and decided to bring the question before the next meeting of that body. These same members say that the work on the streets which has been secured Is but a single step In the right direction. It w'lt serve , they yay , to relieve some of the ne cessity , but will not bo all that Is required. Under the rule which has been established by the Central Labor union the men are- worked In shifts of thirty , each man being ; given three days' work , after which ho Is , required to drop out unti : his turn cornea again , The list of men who have applied for street work and who have been foundr worthy now numbers about 350 nnd Is con tinually growing , to that any one man will get work In this way at about the rate of thrco days out of each forty. As the pay Is only $1.20 for a day of eight hours , tho. workmen are not likely to contract the gout. Thobo who nre taking the Initiative In tho- work of caring for their less fortunate fel lows , therefore , soy they must devise other means to further their benevolent work.
