Rosa states that last September at New Orleans he was ENTICED ON DOARD A VESSEL, the captain of which offered to take him to Koy West, While he was talking with the captain the vessel salled, and he, with sixty- ix others, who had been also entrapped, were carriod to Puerto Barrios, Guatemals, by the steamer Eila Knight, Continuing his story, the boy & § “We arrived ot Puerto Barrios in Gustemala about sundown of Wennesday, October 8, after a voyage of a_little over six days, Owing to eating poor food and drink- ing brackish water nearly all of our part; wore sick and five were for four days unable to get on deck, Altogetherthe passage was a very disagroeable one. We anchored in the open harbor about a quarter of mile from the shore, when Jim O'Donald, of Glascow, Scotland, of Irish descent, the man who en- trapped me atNew Orleans, along with the captain and mate, went ashors where T heard him call out: ‘“Here are my cattle for which T am to get ton dollars per head.” We were LANDED IN SMALL BOATS and counted, whereupon O’Donald went up to the office of J, P. Bousi:rron, the president of the railroad company, and received $650 foe this shipment of sixty-seven men. Bou- sierron, though a Kentuckian, spoke French fluently to N, B, Day, of Chattanooga, Tenn,, vice-prasident, i “‘When I left New Orleans I had $22in my pocket, As we were landiog Mr, Day sung out: ‘Hurrah! look at the boys. There is plenty of money there,” Mr. Bousierron said to the soldie ‘G0 TO SEARCHING,’| ‘['he soldiers were native blacks and spoke Euglish and were under command of tall white man, If any of our party objected to being searched his money and arms were taken trom him by force, and there was a tree near at hand, and a lach was shaken to show him that he would be tied up and whipped. As we were brought ashore in small parties those remaining oa board Jid not know what was in store for them until they, too, were forced to give up their property. Presidont Bousierron eat at a table with a box at hand, into which ho dropped the money, and it was passed to him by soldiers after taking it from our party, As it was never intended the workmen should ever earn or be paid money enough to get from Puerto Barrios, they were at once robbed of what muney they brought with them, in order that THE 1OOR OF ESCAPE might alsobe closed againet them. “‘Work at Puerto Barrios was commenced in July, but during August and September there were not many men secured. n Oct .- ber they began to get their supply. New Or- Jeans was filling up with people and O'Donald and Stallings knew how to get them to Puerto Barrios, I figure up the lullnwln¥ receipts of 1aborers up to January, when I left: “‘At work when our party arrived.about 300 Our party, per the Ella Kuight..... . 67 Brought by the Wavderer. .. 73 Brought by the Blanche Henderson. . ... .120 Brought by the Ella Knight Stxhe 40 L —— DISCOURAGING PROSPECIS, WERAT AND CORN BEAIND THE SEASON AND IN BAD CONDITION.

A noticeabie fact is that corn is selling in this city for from 40 43 cents, while at several points in _ this ttate it sells for upwards of 50 cents, Farm- ers of this state look for an_indifferent crop and, as a consequence, ave holding old corn. It is safe to say that no m-re old corn will be sent from the states this year. Williams Sims, secretary of the state board of agriculture, reports that the present year, at t ime, shows the worst wheat prospects known in ten years, not only in this state but as far a8 his correspondence goes, e —— Fred Douglass Got the Pew, Special Telegram to The Brk. New York, May 18,—The Telegram pub- lishes the following special from Washington: Dr. Sunderland's church, which the president attends, is usually crowded. Standing room, in aisles even, is at a premium. When re- cently the pew in front of that occupied by the pretident became vacant there was natur- ally unusual anxiety on the part of several prominent members of the church to secure this eitting. Yesterday morning the congre- gation was a_good deal excited over the dis- covery that Frederick Douglass (colored), the recorder of deeds of the district, and his white wife were the occupsnts of the coveted sitting, and it was then made pablic for the first time that they had rented this pew. After the ser- vices many members of the congregation met to discuss the incident, and there was a con- siderable show of feeling, The matter is ex- citing much attention, and members are an- noyed over the fact that Dr. Sunderland after the service greeted Mr, Douglass with appar- ent cordiality.

Boston Globe. “Yes, I suppose type writing Is a pretty good business for a woman,” sald a lady operator. ‘‘As In every other business, the success of each operator depends on herself, and the compensation s a mat- ter of agreement between each employe and employer, for we have not yet be- come numerous enough to have any pow- erful Type-writer Operators’ Union. There are very few places whera they en- gage avybody simply for the purpose of operating the type-writer. Most of the large concerns employ stenographers, who turn out thelr notes and do such other copying as may be required of them on the writing machine. Speed and accuracy vary according to experience and natural aptitude. It is the speed and accuracy that determine the salary princlpally, but of course mnot in all cases. For Instance, In many business houses the general manager, or who- ever dictates the letters, talks them off in a rather slow, dellberate manner, and consequently no very great degree of short-hand speed is required In taking letters, and there belng comparatively few lotters to write out speed in manipu- lating the type-writer s not essential. But in such places they are usually very particular as to the general knowledge the amanuensls possesses of the business of the house. Neatnessis one of the most valued qualities that an operator can have, and I might almost add one of the rarest ” “‘What salaries are usually pald to lady operators, “They range all the way from $8 to $156 or more a week,” replled the lady. “There are not many who recelve more than $15, however, that is very good pay when you compare it with what Is paid to shop girls, clerke. telegraph operators and others, I don't belleve that any class of women are paid as high, on the aver- age. as those amanuensis who combine a knowledge of stengraphy, with ability to operate the type writer. It may be that book keepers and compozitors are pald as high, although I do not think that even thery are.” *‘Zut are there not a good many oper- ators who do not work on salary?”’ “‘There are about a dozsn or fifteen typewriter operators, men and women, in Boston who do more or lees copying, but I only know of one or two persons who attend exclusively to copylng or taking dictation. The latter hind of work re- quires a suparior degree of skill in ma- nipulating the machine to stmple copying of writtenor printed matter, Those who take dictatlon find thelr patrons almost wholly in sbort-hend reporters, who usually find that it pays better to dictate their stenographic notes as a type-writer operator at a rate of speed varying from forty to sixty words a minate, than to waste time and strength In perzonally writing out notes at an outlay of perhaps treble the tlme and labor,” “‘How much money can be made at that kind of work.” ‘1 should say that those partles who have a good supply of dictatlon work can ensily average $1 an hour, The work 1s very hard at times, requiring one to be- gin work early in the morning and con- tinue untll beyond midnight, sometimes even until other workers begin the new day’s labors.” *How does the buslness in Boston compare with elsewhere?”’ “I don't claim to be entirely famiilar with the type writiog business in that regard, but I should ssy that Boston does not compare well with New York or some of the weatern citles, Itis a com- paratively new Industry and has notfy made such rapld headway in conserya- tive Boston as in other places. There are about 1,600 type writers actually in use in Boston and the number 15 steadily increaslng.
