It is estimated that there is less unem- ployed unskilled labor fm New York now than at any time since 1892. Fully 10,000 men must be at work at public and private enterprises and improvements. The city's outdoor poor department has now but few applicants for work, and the winter's out- look is regarded as most hopeful. Deputy Commissioner McMakin of the state bureau of labor statistics, at 30 West 29th street, said today: “The real secret of our present improvement is the general restoration of confidence and the revival of enterprise. As a result the unemployed ranks hav fallen off fully 10 per cent in the last few weeks. Wages have not been so quick to respond, but in many cases the rise in earnings is as high as 5 per cent. There is no better place to feel the pulse of the city labor than right here in our free employ- ment bureau. The decrease in applications has been remarkable of late. House serv- ants are in demand. Office porters and livery hands are returning to places where the working force had been cut down by hard times. Up the state, where I spent last week, the manufacturers are putting machinery in motion once more and taking back their men. Rochester is particularly alive and Syracuse follows close. In Buf- falo the revival is general and men are everywhere getting employment.” —_——+e+- Our Competition With England. Mr. J. S. Jeans, secretary of the British Iron Trade Association, in a recent article in the Iron and Coal Trades Review, jars somewhat rudely upon the complacency of those who have been wont to think of Eng- land as the synonym of commercial and in- dustrial supremacy. He says that the working population of England has not ap- preciated the enormous increase in the ability of the United States to compete not enly for neutral but «lso for British” mar- kets. The competition from this country he regards as “more to be dreaded than the competition of Germany and cther conti- pental countries, serious and increasingly successful as that rivalry has been.” He refers to the foothold obtained by Ameri- can pig iron, rails, billets, cars, locomo- tives, cranes, ‘nachine tools, ete., in Eng- land and in markets heretofore largely con- trolled by England, and suggests that the facts in this regard “should surely make our workmen pause in their ill-considered demands for conditions that weuld greatly assist that rival in a competition that al- ready exposes our industries to unusual stress and strain,” ——_~+- e+ _—__.

Grand ple xion SIXTEEN-TON GUNS LOOSE Thrash Abouta Schooner’s Deck and Finally Sink Her. Battery of Four Guns for ‘Tybee Is- land Go Down With Schooner Agnes Grace. A special to the New York Herald from Savannah, Ga., dated September 6, says: More like a chapter from Victor Hugo's “Ninety-three” than the tale of a sea vey- age in real life is the story told by Capt. C. D. Farrar of the schooner Agnes I. Grace of Bangor, Me., which was sunk by ‘the rolling of cannon intended for the Tybee fortifications, in ten fathoms of water, twenty miles off Tybee, on Sunday morning. Captain Farrar and the crew of the Grace arrived in the city this afternoon from Warsaw Island, where they were taken in and cared for after their thrilling experi- ence. « ‘We had a clear voyage down,” said Cap- tain Farrar, ‘and struck no weather until Saturday afternoon, when it began to blow heavil: The four sixteen-ton guns which we were bringing down fcr the Tybee for- tifications were, as we thought, securely fastened on deck—two on the starboard and two on the port side of the ship—so she was pretty well steadied. The chains which held them, we thought, would with- stand almost any gale, so I had no thought of any difficulty from that source. In the hold was a cargo of salt. Gans ‘eak Loose. “When we struck the gale Saturday we took in all sail, and, scudding under bare poles, made about six knots an hour. Toward Sunday morning the wind dicd down almost entirely, and though we had all sails set it was impossible to keep out of the trough of the sea, where we rolled heavily. We worked at her every way, but it was no u she continued to roll and roll. “With all her rolling the mate and I still felt sure that the guns were safe, and searcely gave them a thought. I was standing at the wheel with one of the men while the mate, C. E. Lee, was on deck with the other men giving orders. ly there was a heavy lurch of the ship, followed by a crunching, grinding and rumbling noise, which I can hear yet, and almost before i could look over the deck house and onto the deck the four guns were broken away from their fastenings, having torn their chains from the planks, and were rolling about the deck, seeming to chase the men. “It had all happened in less time that it takes to tell it. Tne two guns on the wind- ward side rolled right between the masis to the lee side, smashing the hatches all to pieces, but, strange to say, did not break the masts, mercly scratching them. Then the four guns rolled, and settled at the lee side toward the stern, breakiag the stanchions and opening the waterways. Sudden- Their Lucky Excape. “The water began to pour into the vessel through the leeward scuppers, and I saw at once we were gone. My first thought was for the safety of the men on deck. I have not yet been able to learn how they all managed to get out of the way of thuse tons of steel, and I do not think they know themselves. At the first sound of the crunching, splintering wood some of them rushed fcrward and others aft, and just in time to prevent being crushed to death. Neither they nor 1 had time to talk of or even think of how they had save themselves, for the moment those guns settled toward the stern and the ater began pouring in we could actually see the vessel going down inch by inch. “I thought we would never get the ship's boat off the davits, and though it was the work of a few minutes it seemed hours. 4s we pushed off from the Grace the sea was swallowing her up, and the stern had entirely disappeared from view. By hard work we manéged to get to Warsaw Island, where we were looked out for and where we are. “The Grace is new lying in about ten fathoms of water, with about one-third of her masts showing. I have wired my own- ers, F. W. Ayer & Co. of Bangor, Me., but have not heard definitely from them yet. Until I do I cannot say what will be done about her.” Where the Grace is now lying she is right in the path of vessels coming mto Savannah, and consequently is dangerous to navigation. It is believed the guns can be saved, and there is no doubt that every effort will be made to get them out.

While I was screwing my courage up to the sticking point and trying to separate her from the other people there, she was called by one of the servants. She came back looking so rosy and sweet that I pushed matters, piloted her to a side veranda and told her, with all the gush and sentimentalism of some callow youth, how I loved her, how I could not live without her. She never looked more beautiful than when she told how sorry she was to cause me pain, but she had just accepted Mr. Ruddins by telephone.

Garcia Merou, the Argentine minister, has not yet received a copy of the message sent to the Argentine congress by President Uriburu, ,‘suggesting either reciprocity treaties with the United States or retaliatory tariff jegisjation if the United States declines to make a treaty. The present action in Argentina was foreshadowed by Senor Merou in an offi- cial note which he sent to: Secretary Sher- man some time ago. The new American tariff law, the minister said, fixed prac- tically prohibitive rates on wool and hides. The wool schedule he {represented to be peculiarly burdensome, as the Argentine wool: have more shrinkage: than Austra- lian wools, thus permitting the latter to have an advantage. Minister Merou point- ed out that Argentina had made heavy tariff concessions to the United Stat President Uriburu’s plan contemplates that the Argertine tariff rates shall be re- modeled so as to provide a maximum tar- iff and a minimum tariff, similar to the plan of European countries. The advan- tages of the minimum rates will then be accorded to the United States if a_recip- rocity treaty is negotiated which will give concessicns to Argentine goods. eS ee KANSAS BUTTER FOR EUROPE. ‘ze Hanna Sends a Car Over Every Week. From the Kansas Farmer. : State Senator George W. Hanna of Clay county is known as one of the ‘butter kings of Kansas.” He is now shipping a car load of butter every week to the mar- kets cf Europe. Since May 26 he has sent fifteen car loads from Clay county to Liver- pool, and every pound has been sold at a fair margin. A car of Mr. Hanna's butter averages about $3,400. His butter is first placed in cold storage, where it is frozen solid; then it goes into ammonia-piped refrigerator cars to Chicago, from which point it is carried by boat to Liverpool. The freight rate on Kansas butter to Liverpool is only a few cents more per hundred than the rate to New York city. It is this exceedingly low freight rate which enables the Kansas _but- ter-produccr to make a profitable sale in the marketsfof Europe. Senator Hanna is well pleased with his butter transactions, and will continue to nip a car each week to the foreigners. He ells direct to the dealers of Liverpool, thereby saving the profits of the commis- sion man. His creamery is at Clay Center, and he has five stations in the surround- ing country. Senator Hanna believes there is great money for Kansas in the manu- facture of ‘ine butter for the markets of Europe. Besides making a handsome profit for himself, his pay roll for wages of em- ployes amounts to over $500 per month. eee Famous Superstitions. From Tid-Bits.

Yrom Cassell’s Journal. There is an old saying that “The more you kick a dog the more he qwill love you,” but there are exceptions to every rule. Some years ago I was stationed at Dev- onport. A friend of thine (whort' I will call Bates), owned a handsome retriever dog. fy animal received more kicks than caresses from his master, and I was con- tinually remonstrating with my friend on his cruelty to his dog, but his only answer to my entreaties to be kind to the animal was the usual one “The more you kick him the more he will love you.” I was very kind to this dog, and my kind- ness was well rewarded, as the sequel will show. One afternoon Bates and I engaged a boat for a row. Bates tried all he Knew how to prevent his dog getting into the boat, but I eventually prevailed on him to let the dog accompany us. On the return journey a fog came on and a passing steamer swamped us, with the result that our beat upset, and we were struggling in the water. 'We could not swim, and the steamer’s crew could not see us, although they could head our cries for help. As I was sinking the dog grabbed me and pulled me to the upturned boat: but I could not get him to save his master, who was drowned. eee Humans Possessed of Tails. From the Chicago News. In April, 1896, the 4th Ghoorkas were sent from Mandalay, in Burmah, to Shillong, in Assam. As the troops marched through the country of the Ahoms the wet weather obliged them to seek shelter in what ap- peared to be a granary. The native priests objected to the quartering of the troops in the granary, but upon the command of the officers the doors were battered down and the troops entered. The granary proved to be an Ahom temple, and four Ahoms were within worshiping. It was the first time that specimens of this remarkable race had been seen by white men. The word “Ahom” is dcrived from the Sanskrit and means unequaled. These people declare that they are descended from the god India, and refuse to hold communication with white men. They are a very low order of human be- irgs, apelike in stature, with abnormally lorg arms and perfectly developed tails. Their feet are shaped on almost the same lines as those of an ape, the toes being prehensile. ‘The officers brought one of the Ahom wo- men and her children to Shillong, where a photograph was taken of one of the chil- dren. He Knew When to Be Honest. From the New York Press Mrs. James D. Martin of North Benning- ton has a crow that is a born humorist. It is continually playing pranks on the dif- ferent members of the Martin household. The bird's name is Dick, — Dick has a strong love for jewelry, and never allows an opportunity to steal a ring or other ornament to pass. Recently Mrs. Martin missed a plain ‘gold, ring. She at once suspected the crow.of being the thief. “Dick,” she said, “‘where_is: the ring you stole?” Ong Dick cocked his head pertly to one side, and then looked at his«mistress from the ccrners of his beady little eyes. He shook his black head violently and:then fiew out the open window to the-iimb of a nearoy tree. a “There’s no use trying to do anything with that crow,” said Mrs.,Martin. “The rascale has hidden it seme gpere, and we will never find it again. I know what I'll do. I'll just have thé men kell that crow.” Dick “evidently “had *coverheard every word, for he peeped into the-room anxious- ly, even in a manner betokening fright. When Mrs. Maftin entered the room an hour or so later she found the ring lying on a table. Dick was demurely perched on the back of a chair. “So you did bring the ring back, did re 2” said Mrs. Martin, sharply eyeing the rd, - Dick looked at her a moment and then hopping from the chair to the floor, tried im a manner that was extremely ludicrous to beg her ovis 3 “It’s all right this time, Dick, but if you ever steal a ring again I'l! have you shot,” said Mrs. Martin, warningly. Dick was so glad that he did a double shuffle. on the floor.
