I have gont out 179 girls auring the past month them in the bring from Detroit. of female help to the mountains, to New Mexico; and even to Texaa.” L It must be expected that dull times would cause an_increaso in tho supply of domestic help, but no such effect is ap- paront, The treuble scems to be that tho supply of help has been_roduced by false reports published in a Denver papor to the effect that girls were working for starvation wages. The report was purely sensational, The supply of fomale help for domestic servico has nover beon as near equaling the demand in Denver as in tho oast as is shown by the prices paid here and there. In Denver a girl will receive 820 per month for the work which she would have to do for §3 a week in the east. Domestic help in the east rarely receives as high as §4 per week, while more frequently $2 a woek is con- sidered fair wages. The reports, however, have had the ef- fect of cutting down the supply of hired girls until it most require a bonus to so- cure the services of one of them, Wages have not advanced perceptioly, however, but there has been no such decline as in other occupations. The mischevious story grew ovidently out of confounding sewing girls with domestic help. The sowinggirlsare plenty enough everywhero and are almost always in excess of the demand. They are in many respects, as a rule inferior to the domestic help es- pecially in the matter of strength and are unablo to enter the more lucrative field of domestic labor. The importation of girls from tho east is golng to be quitc acommon thing among tho intelligent oflices. Girls freal from the east are preferred almost uni- formly to barnacle girls, who only too often make up for a lack of willingness to work by a cheerful familiarity with the use of fircarms, which makes them more feared if not more respected than more orderly servants. Besides the difference in tho pay, hired girls in Denver are accorded more privi- leges than in the east. A well trained girl, one who came out in 50 or shortly after, will allow her mistress a half holi- day occasionally, and will probably stay at home during tho half day unless she has a press of business, In hiring out she usually declines to specify the num- ber of holidays she will require for her- self, but is anxious about the habits of her mistress. It is a very common thing to see the note in want adyertisements ‘‘recently from the Fast.” It does not always hap- pen that the statement is truthful, but it 18 an evidence of the un|mpu]ar(ty of the too too barnacle girl. Most of these drift off to the freer life of the mountains, but usually return to Denver for the vinter, axcitement, “What cavses the great rush at Schroter & Becht’s Drug Store?”” The free distriburion of sample bottles of Dr, Bosanko's Cough aod Lung Syrup, the most x Coughs Colds, Consumptic now market, Regular size 50 cents and § 00 e ———— THIS KING OF ITALY. By Luke Sharp, Detroit Free Press. The doiags of two monarchs are brought into startling cortrast just at present. The emperor of Russia is visiting at dif orent points in his realm, and his ap- proach brings as much terror to the un- fortunate inhabitants as would the com- ing of the cholera. At one point 1,000 people were imprisoned, while all wero put under what was practically termed military law. The executioner travels in tho emporer's wake. As Richlieu suys, ““Behind thee stalksjthe headsman.” How long would the people of the United States stand sucha ruler/ They would hardly go to the trouble of making a glass bomb, if a good stout tree branch and a suitable rope were available, 1f the cowardly Russian gots blown up, it will bo largely his own doing. The wron hand, without even the velvet glove over it, is his method. The King of Italy at the present moment is in the thick of the cholera in- fected region of Naples, Wherever he goes crowds follow him. and he is to-day the most popular man in Ttaly. It is as- tonishing that kings are so slow to learn that the surest protection they can haye is to take away the desire that anybody has to shoot them, Nobody wants to shoot King Humbert, and he is safe un- guarded in any part of his kingdom, On the other hand there must be thousands of victims of Emperor Alexander who would be only too glad to have a shy at him, I have no desire to seize on this occa- sion to ventilate the fact that I have fre- quently met kings. A newspaper man is thrown into all sorts of company. 1 never had the pleasure of dining with any of the European monarchs, probably because they didn't know I was in town then, or perhaps their cooks had a day off at the time I was in the capital. Still I had once a very good view of King Humbert. and the party 1 was with/had the pleasure of seeing his majesty make them a very low bow-—and it isn't every day a king takes off his hat to you, Mr, Whitney and family, of Bryn Mawr, Pa,, were seeing Rome under the guidance of their guide, philosopher and friend, Rev. Mr, Van Meter, who for many yoars had been esfablishing freo achools in Italy and doing good gencrally. This reverend gontleman hml prescnted a very fiue American copy of the bible to King IHumbert, and had also given a nickel-plated plow, mede in linois, to Prince Torlonia, under the that it | would do something to improve the agri- hope cultural methods of Italy, The prince, besides being the richest man in Italy and the most devout Cathcel owning in his own nawme a dozen eplendid in Rome, is i the most extensive farmer in the king- dom, and he thinks much of his hand Ysome American plow, some othertime, with the King t the Prince, As th { Female Help Tho Importation of Girls Feom the | Lsut of this more !

He seemed to mo a man who would stand no nonsenso, and would relentlessly have his fown way about everything. We wers all standing up in the carriage as the horses came prancing past and the ladies enthusiastically waved their hand- korchiefs, while we mon folks took off' our democratic hats, The king scomed to sknow that we were Americans; his dark face lit up with a smile that went far to counteract the brigandish effect of thegreat mustache, and he took off his hat and made a bow to our party,all the while keeping a tight retn on his ener- getic horses, The three men who sat in the wagon with him wore each a lower- ing scowl and each had his arms tolded tightly over his breast. They were dressed in a most gorgeous and resplond- ent uniform, that dazzled such simpla republicans as wo were, The two in the back seat had their backs turned to the king, and their feet braced against the hindboard of the vehicle. They sat atolidly without moving nimusclo as the wagor jolted over the stones of 1tome. No one saw King Humbert would doubt for a moment that he is a born ruler of men. He is a king that the Italians are proud of, and he drives around Rome without a body-guard near him. He has done much for the sanita- vy welfare of the imperial city. The new Rome which he has caused to be built on the heights near the railroad station is much like those parts of Paris erected by Napoleon IIL In his new Rome there is little of even the dreaded Roman SEPTEMBER 23 1334 the coachman pointed up the L\![Hm(‘nw« Tho prico of refrigorated boof in [ pusees the Barberina palace and said: |all the towns botween hero and Albany is Ds King, he come.” Then he made [10{ and 11 cente, i Hu same rematk in Italian, was| **My friend ‘Tommy Loughran of [ better undorstood than his I .

Well, snakes go bliad, 1 be Imuu when they shed their skins in August, and as that operation is now be ing performed womay look for lower prices when it is over, ‘*Kxport trade is dull and shippors are losing money every day. Last year at this timo Now York was sending out 4,- 000 cattle a jweek, against 1,000 now, Exporters can make no meney whilo prices aro high, and, indeed, thoy have been losing since Jan, 1.” G. K. Swift, teo head of Swift's Chi cago drouml boof business, was asked in regard to the effect of his meat on prices. ““Well," said he, *‘if our beef was not being sold here prices would be at least a cent higher all round than tney are. The prices of cattlo In the west regulates us heore. There is at present considerablo demand for live cattle in this city, and if we wero not hore with our dressed beet that demand would be increased of course, This demand is supplied chietly by Chi. cago, and whether the beof is slaughtered here or there it remains the same. But dressed boef can be shipped much cheap- er than live cattle, and there we have an advantago. But speaking of pricos, they aro not high in proportion to tho supply of cattle. The short horn crop of last year has made beoves unusually scarce, and as the demand is brisk the prices aro necessarily forced wp. There's certainly no problem about it. Supply and demand govern prices always.” “‘What about your beof being pol- soned?” “Simply 8 good advertisemont. The statoment has done more for us than any- thing; olse could have done.

People ask why, in the face of all competition be- tween western beef and beef slaughtered here, the price should be 8o high. There i continual war between the dealers of different kinds of meat, and all assign different reasons for the range of prices. A Tribune reporter made inquiries of a man who has been intimately associated with the live-cattle trade at this market for a number of years, and who is an au- thority on the subject. He said: “It certanly seoms strange that beef should be high this year. Veal, lamb and mutton are cheaper than they have been for some time, Business is dull; ““Tt iy said that your beof is dry.” “What do you mean by dry!" *No blood init. It won't make gravy?’ *“As far as blood is concorned, you are right. Wo follow Biblical teaching in that respect, and ot rid of every drop of blood we can. We don't want blood in our beef. But I don't understand how that makes it dry. 11l tell you a fact that is not generally known. The animzl heat in a carcass of Deef is due to the presence of certain elements that weigh something, and beef that is not refrigerated does not loso it, but by our systom of freezing forty-eight hours we find wo decrease the weight about two per cont, and during the transit from Chicage to this city 1 per cent more, making our beef 3 per cent lighter than it was before going into the coolers. This comes from those elements being driven out. Soyou may say that people get more meat for their money in buying of us than of home slaughterers. And it is hardly necessary to add that beef will keep pure much longer when the animal heat is all driven out. Our beef, when 1t reaches New York has been five days killed, and yet the hottest weather can- not spoil it in forty-eight hours, In our sbipments to London we onco had & ves- sel delayed for forty-three days, but tho beef brought the usual prico when sold not being injured in the least. ““I think it lit likely that the price of beef will fall off' soon.” - —e— CONVINUINC The proof of the pudding i t in chewing tho string, but in having ouportu test the article divect, Schroter & Becht, Druggists, have a free trial bottle of Dr, Bo- sanko's Cough and Lung Syrup for each and every one who is afllicted with Coughs, Colds, sthma, Consumption or any Lung Affection s T Why Art Thou Silent, Old Man, Cincinuati Commercial, The voice of Judge Thurman is not heard in the land.

It is hard to give an entirely satisfactory reason for the bigh prices, There can be no doubt that the cool sum- mer has much to do with It, for it keeps people in town, Less fruit is eaton than in a hot, dry season, and more beof in proportion.” But tho price of cattle in tho west may be said to regulate the prico of beef here, Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis virtually control the market. Freight rates are low, shippers are making little or nothing, and whole- sale and retail butchors have made no money to speak of for the last two years, Tne farmers got all the benefit of the high prices.” ‘D> you look for lower prices?” **Not until the supply is ingreased or the demand lessened.” *“Tho impression provails that western dressed beef would lowor prices.” **The fact is that the western dressed beef shippers of Chicago have been the means of putting up prices, How is that?
