mGE-AVORKEBS' INTERESTS

The Pay Labor Receives in Shops, Facto- . ries and the Various Occupations. More CgnserratiYa Methods than Heretofore Are Followed bj Employers and Emplojes, and the Conditions Are Satisfactory. " I. M. titackhouse, of Federal Labor Union No. 8638, has prepared with care a tablo showing tho number of laborers in tho various trade aud callings in Indianapolis, together with tho -wages received. The table is interesting from tho fact that it shows that tho wago-workers of tho city are as well or better paid than elsewhere, considering tho cost of living here. Where trades are) organized tho union scale is given. The showing is as follows: Occupation. Number. Wages.

In all the trades the men are well satisfied with the wages they are receiving, and those at the head of the labor movement eay that it has been many years since the cause of the workmgman has been so bright. The tactics of organizations are now conservative, and time has shown that this plan is the winning one. Eight Hour Demonstration. The eight-hour demonstration on July 4 promises to be a great success. Nearly every labor organization in the city has agreed to have all their available men In the procession, and if ttat is ths case there will bo over 10,000 men marching. The executive committee met again Fiidaynteht, and received encouraging reports from the sub-committees. The principal speaker of tbe day will be P. J. McGuire, of Philadelphia, who is at the head of the Carpenters International - - Union. An effort is being made to secure the attendance of President Strasaer, of th Circar-makers International Union, but an answer from bra has not yet been reoclved. The parado will take place in the forenoon, and will not consume more than two hours. The picnic and speaking to follow will likely be held in the Ptate fair crounds. As yet the manufacturers and business men are a little slow about signifying their intention to join the parade. The executive committee unres them to turn out, and make the procession the leading feature of the day. The occasion furnishes an excellent opportunity for them to advertise their wares, and show what the city really possesses in the way of industries. The Indications are that the demonstration will bring many people to the city from all parts of the State. Labor Notes. St. Louis has a Mechanics' Exchange. Helena M. T.) tailors are all union men. New York boss harness-makers have organlied. A Bristol (R. I.) rubber company employs 5,000 workers. The Horseshoe rs National Union has 8,000 members. The Omaha striking plumbers have started three shops. Buffalo's Salesmen's Association demands shorter hours. A Jersey City tobacco factory runs a night school for its 5,000 hands. Krunp. the gunman, employs 21,000 men. He started in 1838 with nine men. Thirty Paris cab-drvers were imprisoned in a recent week for ill-treating passengers. The Central Labor Union meets to-mono w nigh t. L. P. Custer will read a paper. The hod-carriers have arranged to hold a picnic at Blue River Park, Monday, June 17.. Typographical Union No. 1 .will continue to meet on tho first Sunday afternoon of each month. - The New York Millinery Mutual Benefit Association has 500 members and is eleven years old. The BriRhtwood Assembly will have a picnio to-morrow, in Brightwood grove, unless the rain interferes. Young ladles of Monticello, Fla., have induced the merchants to close at 5 p. m. from June to September. - The Henry George Clan In New York has bought 17,000 acres of land in Sullivan county for pleasure grounds. Lincoln (Neb.) plumbers struck when they saw that their bosses were helping the Omaha employers against a strike. The profits of the cizht-honr demonstration will be divided equally among the organizations turning out 75 rer cent, of their number. Quitman. Oa.. with 2,500 people, leads the world in fruit shipping, especially watermelon. Lnt season 1,100,000 watermelons were handled. " Labor Signal: The ranter and know-all some how has to take a back seat. Lalmrlng people are becoming more intelligent, and better judgment now prevails. The American Manufacturer, in an article on the nail situation, says: "In 18S2 the production of cut nails was 6.147,067 ke. lu I8S3 it was 7.762.337 kegs. In 1888 it had fallen to 6,493.591 kegs. In other words, with K) ier cent, more capacity for production in 1988. than in 182, tho production was but 6 per .;cnr. greater, while it was more than 15 per cent, less in lis8 than in 183. At its meeting last Monday evening. CigarMakers Union No. 33, nominated the following officers: President, J. P. Martin; vice-president, Lee Woolf; financial secretary. J. N. Winter; treasurer, G. W.

Pupils of the State's Institute Find Pleasure In Hardy Sports of Boyhood. There is not in this city, and persons who have been, abroad eay there is nowhere else, such another beautiful, old-fashioned park as that fronting and flanking the institution in which the sightless boys and girls of Indiana are educated. The shade is for the most part furnished by forest trees, and there aro open spaces where the sunlight comes down to meet the flowers, and give them bloom and fragrance. T suppose," remarked a visitor tho other day. "all the beauties of this park are for those who can see; it is nothing to the pupils here." "You are much mistaken." quickly replied Superintendent Jacobs. "Boys, as well as girls, take the keenest delight in these surroundings. They are all very fond of flowers, especially roses, and button-hole bouquets are in great favor among them. As to the trees, our youngsters hero are much like those who see. and are fond of climbing. ' Some of thein will, unless watched and ' prevented, climb almost anywhere. They have a fashion of climbing tree s and hiding in out-of-the-way places thing?! they do not want others to get. When I see the children, boys or girls either, at play, I seldom regard them as other than seeing children. The games of our boys aro much the same as those of boys who have sight." The reporter looked down into the yard where a number of boys were pitching a ball from one to another. 'Those boys can see a very little." remarked the superintendent, 'bnt those who caunot see at all play tin can, hide and seek and other games, while thev run bases from one tree to another. "Tin can" is a game something like shinny, in which the boys, with clubs, knock a tin can about from one side to another, often picking; it up and throwing it in the air to strike it before it touches the ground. The play is rough and exciting, but no one ever gets hurt, the rattle of the can guiding the boys in their pursuit. But there are other games which the sightless enjoy, for many of the boys are expert in playing dominoes, a few play backgammon, and some even take pleasure in cards. They mark the face of the cards with "point," or raised letters, to distinguish the different kinds. The companionship between' blind boya of course the friendship between two girls is always more ardent and effusive is closer than between those who see. A look over into the park of the institution any pleasant day will show a dozen couples walking about with their arms twined about each other. There are now enrolled in the institution seventy boys and sixty-two girls. Some of these have been rescued from county asylums, and are being educated to be good and useful citizens. The girls," said Mrs. Jacops, coming to the aid of the superintendent, "have their games. The small girls plAy at housekeeping and visiting, and have dolls and dishes just as other little ones do. Then they have singing games, and they play consequences,' and other, forfeit games. The older boys havo a debating society, and I was much amused the other day to hear the little girls at play, form themselves into an imitation debating society, and assuming boys' voices, carry on an animated speech-making. One of the questions the girls debated was. Vhich is most useful, a cow or a horse?' One of the debators maintained that the horse was the more useful animal. For,' said she, you can hitch it up and drive.' Yes,' said another, and you can hitch up a cow, too, and drive, and havo the milk and butter besides.' " The blind are great mimics, and delight in imitating the voices and peculiarities of others. They are not unskillful asaotors. The other evening they had a little drama at the institute, three girls and three bojs taking part. The drama presented the visit of an honest but uncouth country nephew and wifo from Bog Hollow to an undo and aunt in the city. The city relatives had prospered in worldly affairs; the aunt, spoiled by wealth, was much ashamed ot the rural visitors, as was also the dauchter. who had a dude lover. They dressed to suit the drama, the dude being particularly 1 1 1 A 1 71 uuuisn m costume, ana took ineir places upon the platform, made their exits and entrances nuite as well as actors who can see. No children have such memories as tho sightless. Could the children in our public schools remember as these do they would amaze and confound their parents and teachers. At the institntion thereis a very large map of tho United States, each State and Territory being a block to itself. These the children fit together with remarkable quickness, knowing each State and Territory by the size and shape of the block. In this way they obtain au accurate idea of the relative sizes of the States that children in the public schools do not readily acquire. One of the greatest delights of these scholars is music, and this institute has given to tbe world a number of educated musicians, who make their living out of music. Among, those now there is Charles Hanson, who is a musical prodigy, and recognized as on his way to the head ot the profession. There are otherg now being educated who show great aptness and are becoming proficient as pianists and upon other instruments. Tarents who have blind children are frequently loath to part with them even to send them to this institution. They look upon them as being helpless and feel a care for them that is not felt for the deaf and dnmb. It is for this reason, prob ably, that there are many blind iu tho State who should be sent to this educational in stitution, but are not. There is a demand for a new building to contain a gymnasium, work-rooms and additional school-rooms. As an appropriation was made by the last Legislature, something will probably bo done to meet this demand. The County Treasurer's Bond. John Ostermrn, treasurer-elect of Marion county, tiled hisofticial bond with the County Commissioners yesterday, and It was approved by them.

QUEER IDEAS OF THE EXAMINED. Some of the Blunders Civil-Service Applicants Hade with the Questions Asked. If one is to judge from the answers given to some of the questions in the recent examination in this city of candidates for appointment in the railway mail service, many of the things which the student learned at school, and which he was taught to believe were fundamental, have undergone great changes. Familiar words were so metamorphosed in that examination that a lexicographer would never recognize them. State capitals were turned topsy-turvy and placed in other States, and some of the States themselves were ruthlessly taken up from their inland boundaries and placed upon the coast-line. What will become of agriculture and the industries of the country if this continues it one of the problems that the civil-service reformer, under whose law these examinations are ordered, must himself solve. Tho class which met hero during the past week was the largest in the history of civil-service examinations, and was made up of applicants ranging in age from eighteen to thirty, from this and many other States. One hundred and thirty-six were examined for positions in the railway mail-service alone, while nearly double that number were examined for department positions, ranging from special pension examiners to copyists in the various departments at Washington. Of the total number that sat down to tho work, all went away tired out, and many of them thoroughly disgusted. Tho questions were arranged in order for each examination, and covered nearly every branch of knowledge with which a person having a common-school education is supposed to be familiar. First was a test ot the ability of tho applicant as a copyist, not so much to see what kind of penmanship he could execute, but to show his correctness. Then came the writing ex

ercise from dictation, to mdge of the accuracy, and then a short letter on a subject chosen by the applicant himself, to furnish an example of composition. What the applicants made upon these points may be judged from some of the answers to the simpler questions given, as for instance, in orthography, location of States and State capitals, and the best known rivers of the country. Twenty words were submitted as an exercise in othography. and each was clearly defined as pronownced, and the applicant was allowed to ask questions regarding them if he failed to understand their exact meaning. The misspelled words on the blanks, when handed in, were numerous, and some of them are such as one must necessarily use every day in writing or speaking. Here are five examples out of the twenty words, ail of which were misspelled by several applicants: Wrapper was spelled rapper, wrecic was changed into reck, cancel to cancil, separate to seperate, and mail-coach was spelled male-coach. But it was in geography that the applicants made the greatest bulls, and some of the answers indicate that it will bo a long time before the person addressed would get a letter if some of these applicants were placed on a "male car" to distribute the f,inale." Memphis was declared to bo the capital of Mississippi, Des Moincst la., was placed upon the Mississippi river, Columbus, O., was placed upon the river of the same name, and one applicant did not know which was the most important city, Cincinnati or Toledo, but he inclined to the opinion that the latter wears the belt of greatness. Lit tie Hock, Ark., one said, was on tho Mississippi river, and another declared that West Virginia was on the Atlantic ocean. Others claimed that Tennessee is on the Gulf of Mexico: that Nebraska lies on tho Ohio river, and one placed Wyoming on the Pacific ocean. These questions were asked in such a way that nothing could suggest the answer, but some of the applicants seemed to travel as far away as possible for a reply. The examination in mathematics was confined to examples in the fundamental principles, and embraced nothing harder than problems under the four fundamental rules. In the matter of reading with facility the test was made with one hundred cards, on which were written in a plain hand tho address, street and number, State and city ot a supposed person, and each applicant was allowed twenty minutes in which to complete the task. The time required ranged from seven to eighteen minutes. VY hue many mistakes were made, and some ot them bordered upon the ludicrous, tho fact must be borne in mind that the limitation placed upon the timo allowed for the work is one of the very things that tends to confuse and make the examination less creditable than otherwise it would be. The applicant usually looks over his blank and picks out the easiest questions first, and loses time in placing his answers in the precise language that he knows will recommend his papers. When the harder questions are reached, he is doubly confused by tho loss of time over the easier ones and tho study necessary to solve the harder problem. Many of the applicants were teachers, and were used to going through such examinations, but it does not appear from the answers that some of these were anv more qualified for the important service than those who had never had special training. Travelers' Protective Association. Indiana delegates to national convention at Atlantic City, Tuesday week, will probably leavo Indianapolis next Saturday or Sunday. It is the intention of the delegation to Join the Kentucky division at Louisville, or meet it at Cincinnati. From that city all will go by special cars direct to Atlantic City or Philadelphia, arriving in time to attend meeting. Mondar. of the national board of directors and different national committees. In dianapolis will not be a competitor for the next annual convention. From the r resent outlook Denver and Louisville are the only points under consideration, with Denver in the lead. An amendment to the constitution, to be proposed at the annual convention, provides for the removal oi tno neauquarters and national othces from Chicago. Among the cities mentioned as desirable points for the headquarters are Wash ington, Louisville and Indianapolis. The In diana Division now being ono of the largest in tho association, ana naving snown as mucu activity a any in the organization the past year, it is thought this city deserves recognition. One of the main reasons given for wishing the headquarters changed, is on account of Chicago not being as central as many other cities, and also because tne Illinois Division Las taken so little interest in the association. At nearly every convention of theT. P. A. some in surance feature has been ptoposed, and always defeated. John It. Stone, of Chicago, at the last two conventions has made special 'efforts to get the association to accept an accident insurance, but failed both times. Several plans are to bo brought before the coming convention: the ono looked upon with most favor, so far, is that proposed by Mr. F. E. Nash, of Ft. Wayne, member of the national loard of directors. It seems to be tho general desire of nearly all the divisions that some form of insurance be adopted and put Into use at once. Secretary Faylor, of Indiana Division, has Is sued a circular to the effect that, according to the constitution, the annual dues. If paid before July 1, will be $2. and after July 1 $3, unless tho constitution is amenuea. mis assessment, of course, does not include the post dues. An assessment of $1 will he made by P. A. Lowald, secretary Post B, immediately after July 1. All members of Post B are requested to remit their annual dues sj2 to hini at at once. Francis Murphy Meeting. To-night, at Tomlinson nail, Francis Murphy will deliver a lecture for the benefit of the Blue Ribbon Club of this city. As this will probably be the last talk before an Indianapolis audience for some time to come, his work hero having practically terminated. It is desired, for his encouragement, that this meeting be a large one. No man has dono us much good In this city among the'cla$.s of men who so badly needed It, as has Francis Murphy. He has redeemed, in this city, hundreds of men from the bondage of drink, and restored them to their families a ober and industrious bread-winners, while hun dreds of otlu r.4 have been set to thinking by his earnest, maniy anu numane worus. The meeting that have leen conducted In West Indianapolis during the week by William J. Murphy closed last night. They were most successful, more than TOO having signed tho pieuge. They Have a Small Surplus. The managers of the May festival have nalanced their accounts, and find that the receipts from sale of tickets were $9.1$6. The disburse ments were: Orchestra and soloists, $5,903.50; music books. $b-Ll.f: rent and decorations. $231; advertising. $1,019.85; soloists, $700; stationery, postage. door-keepers, furniture, etc., Real Estate and Building. It was a satisfactory week in the real estate market, but the transfers would have been more nemerous if the weather had been favorable. As it was, seventy-eight deeds were recorded, representing property valued at $144,441.80. The real estitc agents say that the demand for property has uever been greater than at this time. and they expect a brisk market throughout the summer. Tne rainy weather has greatly interfered with building, but permits are still being

taken out rapidly. During the week twenty-six were issued, calling for an expenditure of overs S30.000. They were nearly all for cottage residences to cost from $800 to $1,500. A BEAUTIFUL OBSERVANCE.

How the Active Christianity of This Day Seeks to Hold Children to the Church. The observance of Children's day will occur in most of the churches thismorning It is a beautiful custom, leaving impressions on the mind of the young that nothing can eradicate. "It was started about ten years ago, I believe, in the Methodist Church" said the Rev. O. C. McCulloch. yesterday, "but it was generally adopted by other churches, and is now observed all over the country by many denominations, and is made a feature. It is usually observed on the second Sunday in June, for the reason, I suppose, that llowers are then more plentiful. Children's day, or Flower Sunday, is one more illustration of the growing place that is making for children in the church. There are now really four children's festivals, Easter, Flower Sunday or Children's day, Harvest Sunday and Christmas. In the exercises on Children's day the little ones usually take the greater snare of the service. The springing up of these festivals is a recognition that children must have a place in worship. Under the old idea j'oung people had no place In the church except to be quiet. The tithing man went round with his rod in the days of the Puritans and also brushed the fox's tail across the noses of those who fell asleep, rapping the chlidrcn over the head with the rod as their feet dangled high above tho floor on the tall benches. There was no endeavor to preach to them or for them. Most of the churches now emphasize the child clement in' their congregations, and in so doing they approach closer to the early spirit of Christianity. The early church was a church of households and not of individuals. The inscriptions in the cata combs show what a tender place children had in the hearts of Christians. Tertullian, one of the earliest bishops said: 'lie saves the sheep, the goats Ho does not save.' Hut the church protested against this cruel doctrine, and' on one of the pictures in the catacombs showed the Savior with a kid in his arms. So we take care of the kids, good and bad. "Most of the Presbyterian churches.under the influence of Puritan thought, have neglected children. Thev have let them alone, expecting that at the age of inirteen or tourteen tney -woma oe converted and come into the church; but the Catholic, Episcopal and Lutheran churches have always made provision for their in struction ana confirmation. Successful Christianity must build its hone on the children: the church roust be made a home to them, and must have a happy place in es responses, and some recitations, among which aro Some Wonderful Children's Days,' A Child's Thought of God,' lbe Tender Shenherd.'
