FOR SALE AT Carter’s Bookstore. jan2 DISTRESS IN THE UNITED STATES, A-late despatch from Boston says: Each day the plans of the Citizens’ Relief Committee are beginning to assume more definite shape, and to-morrow will see a practical beginning. Superintendent of Streets Carter has awarded ten contracts for the laying of sewere, each of which will give employment to twenty men. According to the plan of the comumittce the 200 men called for by these contracts will be doubled by having two sets of men, each working three days in the week and receiving $1.50 per day. Four hundred men went to work to-day, The men -vho work on the streets will probably be given six days on and six days off, and the pay will be $1.50 a day. As a week of work will alternate with a week of idleness the pay will average only $4.50 a week. This plan is the beginning of a work that will be carried on on an ela borate seale and which, it is believed, will insure to every citizen of Boston a living during the winter months. As many as a dozen organizations have the matter in hand, and all will operate on similar lines. Subscription? to the fund for the relief of the unemployed by Kidder, Peabody & Company now amount to $23,000. A new charity was instituted to-day in the rooms of the Union Rescue mission, which fnr- nishes meals at the nominal price of five cents, Jt is supported by business men and seems to.be a success. A Chicago despatch states that hard times have come upon the retail clerks of that city in a manner never before exper- ienced. Nearly 6,000 men and women who lad been working in the various mereantile estahlishmenta of the city have been thrown out of employment since the close of the holiday season. This number comprises at icast 3,500 women and girls, whose,salaries have not averaged more than 5 per week. Parrsboro, N, 8, 1D.
