PHILADELPHIA'S FIFTY THOUSAND

Philadelphia, Dec. 28.—The Intest
reliable estimate of the number of Phila
delphia working people who are now out
of employment places tho figures at
50,000.
This calculation is based upon a house
to house canvass made by the police for
tho information of tho citizens’ perma
nent relief committee and a supplement
ary investigation in the great mill dis
tricts just completed by representatives
of tho committee itself. All tho mill
and factory owners have been inter
viewed personally, and the statistics
thus obtained compared with the hoi^se
to house reports of the police.
In this city, according to tho latest ac
tual census, the normal force of em
ployes—men, women and youths—di
rectly engaged in productive industries
is over 4UO.OOU—a vast industrial force,
unequalled in its proportion to popula
tion by any other city in the country.
Of this number 300,000 depend lor occu
pation upon the textile and rclatod
trades. Tho mill owners thomsc-ivcs say
that any resumption of work this winter
must bo of tho Epasmodic description,
tho temporary result of occasional or
ders.
Lorin Blodgett, the veteran statisti
cian, who has in tho past 60 years taken
many a census for city and state author
ities, made a special canvass of the tex
tile manufacturing districts this winter,
the result, of his labors agreeing substan
tially with the ostimatoi of tho police
and tho citizens’ permanent relief com
mittee.
In the irou manufacturing and ullied
industries, nine-tenths of tho employes,
or about 18,000, have been thrown out
of work, the only activity in this lino bo-
ing the result of government orders at
Cramps’ shipyards. In the building
trades a third of tho force usually em
ployed at this time is idle- Off the gar
ment workers, more than half are out.
The situation is reflected in tho greater
Rome, Ga., Da*?. 2 .—A negro man
named Johnson White, while climbing
a greasy pole on upper Broad street, had
lxls right eye shot out by a Roman can
dle ball and his hands severely burned.
Hanging suspended to a cross piece at
the end of a pole some 20 feet high were
several packages of fire crackers, one
box of cigars and a quart bottle of
whisky, all of which would lie given to
any one who would climb the greased
pole and bring them to the ground.
White covered his clothing with a
thick coating of tar and proceeded to
undertake the hazardous task of captur
ing tho coveted prizes. He was the tar
get for hundreds of Roman candles in
the hands of the small boy, but with
stood tho fiery ordeal till the several
packages were secured and brought safe
ly to the ground. While descending tho
greasy treo a hall from one of the can
dles found its way into his eye, tearing
tho organ from his head.

SERIOUS CUTTING SCRAPE. ,
An Atlanta Man Got Hit Throat Cut in
Madison. N
Madison, Ga., Dec. 28.—A serious
cutting scrape occurred here, in which
Mr. II. C. Hanson, of Atlanta, was bad
ly cut. Ho was questioning Gaz Vason
about somo misunderstanding between
Vason and Hanson’s son, when Vason
made somo remark that caused Hanson
to strike him with his cane, upon which
Vasou whipped out a knife and cut an
ugly place in Sir. Hanson’s neck, al
most severing both jugular veins.
Ho was carried into a drug store and
attonded to, then later removed to the
hotel, where he lives with his family.
At last accounts his physician pronoun
ced him out of danger, though in a pre
carious condition and suffering some
what. Vasan has skipped.

Many Hungry in Baltimore.
Baltimore, Dec. 28.—Besides the
caases of industrial depression prevail
ing throughout tho country there are
additional local ones in Baltimore which
are bringing destitution to the homes of
workingmen and making the burdens of
the charitable associations unusually
heavy.
For tho past five or six years a large
number of extensive publio and corpo
rate improvements, involving the outlay
of millions and the employment of thou
sands of workingmen, have been under
way. Most of these are now completed.
The people of the city seem thorough
ly alive to tho fact that tho problem of
the unemployed this winter will be moro
difficult than ever before. Fortunately
there is perfect unity among tho charity
organizations who are receiving the co
operation of the police and the mayor.
These Txxlies, at a recent general confer
ence, organized a central relief commit
tee meant to focus all their efforts to the
pressing necessity. It is estimated by
the leaders of the labor organizations
and by State Statistician A. B. Howard
that one third of the laboring and poor
er classes are out of employment and
havo been for months. In. some cases
these people earn a pittance of their for
mer wages by working short hours, but
even this is unreliable. i

Chicago, Dec. 29.—Mora than 1,000 '
actors and actresses are destitute here.
The benefit matinee given at the Chicago
Opera house last week by actors and
actresses in Chicago for the destitute,
was a signal for a flood of letters of ap
ical for aid directed to Stuart Robson.
As a result, $500 was withheld from the
receipts for the assistance of needy act
ors. In many of the minor companies
salaries are badly in arrears, although
actors prefer to stay in their organiza
tions and work for nothing than to risk
losing back pay altogether by resigning.
Scores of specialty people are working
their way- eastward from the Pacific
coast and are waiting in Chicago for
something to torn up. Most of these
are also waiting for something to eat,
and are liable to continue to wait.
Not So Bod, But Bad Enough. '
Omaha, Dec. 28.—Though the number
of unemployed people in Omaha is much
larger than in any winter before, it is
not really ao large as was expected. No
tactoriee or large establishments hare
cloeed in Omaha. Most of the factories
during the worst of the depression
worked their men half time, and thus
kept as many employed as possible.
A conservative estimate of the unem
ployed adult malm is 3.500. The popu
lation of Omaha is about 150,000. This
list of unemployed includes many miners
and laborers from Colorado who, when
the mines there were closed, found
Omaha a promising stopping place on
their way east. By no means all theun-
Wiployed are destitute.

Niagara Palls, N. Y„ Dec. 28.—
Robert Wilson, aged 60, en route from

managed to catch his hand. The man

fell on top of him and held him until the
