Townsend's naked petition, in which he |averred that “as the surviving husband | of the deceased” he was entitied to let- ters, was the only evidence the claimant could produce to show that be had any legal right for consiceration by the couri, and he judiciously refrained from swear- | ing to his allegations. | _ Attorney G.

Judge Dunne, however, ordered him to produce his proofs, but as Gunzendorfer was without proof or lezal right he allowed his case to stand.

She was 2 Té taken back to the ferry-boat, where she was placed in charge of Dr. Annie Peck, who was a passenger aboard the Newark. Mr. McReavy had just turned away from his_wife to address a lady standing near them when the demented woman suddenly leaped from the deck. Dr. Peck had Mrs. McReavy conveyed to the Lane Hospital, where it was found that she was none the worse for her tem- porary immersion and will probably be able to leave to-day. Mrs, McReavy's relatives noted with joy last night that the cloud which has rested on her mind seems to be lifted and she is much more cheerful than has been the case for some time. Mrs. McReavy is the wife of Levrett L. omotive engineer, who re- sides at 715 J Street, Tacoma. She has been ill for some time and also brooding much over the recent death of her brother, Thomas Jordan of Oakland, who went to the Klondike last year, where he passed away, a victim of pneumonia. Frederick Jordan, manager of the Crellin Hotel, Oakland, is another brother of the un- happy woman. Mrs. McReavy has been for some time In Oakland. Her husband brought her down from their home in Ta- coma in the hope that the change would prove beneficlal to her impaired health. Speaking of his sister’s attempt at self- destruction last night, Frederick Jordan said: “There ig one result from my eister's mad act that makes me hope that all was for the best. After seeing her to- night I am convinced that in some way the shock of her immersion has done for her mind what doctors have tried in vain to accomplish.” BEQUEATHED ALL HER ESTATE TO RELATIVES Will of the Late Emma L.

Copyright, 1900, b ¥y Seymour Eaton. e COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF TWO CENTURIES. % —_— X. - In the early days of the world the wants of men were few and simple, and every one satisfied his wants largely by his own efforts. Such a life was independent but wasteful. When man began to limit his labor to fewer things and to make ex: changes of surplus products a long step had been taken in human progress. The dlvision of labor brought abeut by the exchanges gave rise to factories, and a other vast economy in the use of human | labor was established. | The extent of this economy may be | shown more clearly by two or three illus- | trations. One person with a hand loom could weave from forty-two to foriy- eight yards daily; with six-power looms his product was increased to 1500 yards daily, One person in a man's boot fac- tory will annually make 1500 pairs of boots | and shoes, and in a woman's shoe factory 3000 pairs. One man with a cotton gin can do the work of %9 men by hand in getting the seed out of the cotton. One man in Dakota cau annually produce 5500 | bushels of wheat, and, keeping 1000 bush- els for seed, the remainder, b{ labor | equivalent to that of one man for one year, can be made into flour and put Into | barrels. The 1000 barrels thus produced can be sent to New York by rail by two men during the same period. Moreover, | the four thus working would have time ieft to keep the machinery of the farm, the mili and the railroad in repair. Three more in a year could bake this quantity | into bread, and, as the annual ration for a person is a barrel of flour, the farm- | hand, the miller, the two carriers and the | three bakers could supply 1000 persons with bread. One of the consequences of thus organ- izing labor for manufacturing purposes is to deprive many, for a while at least, of employment. Another is that the manu- facturer, without lessening the reward paid to the laborer thus employed, is able to sell his products at greatly reduced prices. And then, too, the consumer is able to buy more. If, for example, & yard cf cloth can be bought for 25 per cent less in consequence of the use of labor-saving machinery, the consumer has 25 per cent more to spend in other ways or for larger quantities of things he bought before. A larger quantity, therefore, is needed to satisfy the larger demand, and the labor set free in the beginning is recalled to sat- isfy the new demand. This is no imag- inary consequence; it was seen long ago. The lower prices result in releasing a por- tion of the consumer’s earnings, which in turn is spent for a larger quantity of the same or other things, and to produce these more laborers are needed. When, therefore, the full cycle of changes caused by using machinery has been completed the laborers set free in the beginning are at work, prices have been lessened, the power of consumers has become greater, and they can satisfy more of their wants than they could béfore. Of course thi: movement between the discharge and re. employment of labor is not regular; some- times it comes quickly, sometimes it is long delayed and great suffering ensues, and in some cases it never comes. Another consequence of the modern sys- tem of manufacturing is the creation of large factories. In the olden time a fac- | tory was unknown, except the trading factory of ancient story. The spinning wheel was in every house. What a con- trast between that day and ours! Now huge plants have risen, generally owned by companies, for manufacturing iron, textile fabrics and everything except the cholce works of thought and art. Even the field of literature has been invaded in many directions, and books written to order are printed on paper and with ma- chinery made to order form a large por- tion of the literary wares of the day. The drawing together of thousands un- der a single roof has given rise to another | consequence of which no one dreamed in the primitive days of factories—labor or- | | & society for their mutual | This was the origin of these associations. ! evil ‘come | instance, into a kin a factory | the invention of better. ganizations. They are the legitimate off spring of large factories. fore they rose a trades union was unknown; when the manufacturer drew under the same roof a large number of men what was more natural than that they should come to know each other and compare wages nd modes of living and in due time form advantage” Are these great manufacturing enter- pr hools of knowledge? Like nearly everything else in this world, good and from them. Much is learned that is both helpful and harmful. It could not be otherwise. It is often said that the work of those employed is more dreary because it is Hmited to a singie motion or operation. A person tends a sin- gle machine or moves a lever or performs some other exceedingly simple act. The amount of skill that he puts forth in doing this is almost nothing, but if his brain is not used up in tending a machine there is more left for other uses. If we look, for reat watch factory what would we see? Machines everywhere for making this complicated mechanism. But the work is so minutely subdivided that almost every one is doing a very simple thing. making a hole in a plate, cutting wheels and the like. Only a very small number of persons in the entire comcern possess much skill-those who desi the machinery, make the springs, bake the enamel on the faces and assemble the parts. A person applies for work and within a week she is as skillful as though she had worked for years. Now this is one of the good features of subdividing labor in the manufacture of so many Erm‘lucls: persons can more easily learn ow to do well their little task. Now, few possess the skill to make a watch; those who are able to make a part of a watch except the few things de- scribed above are numberless. If, there- fore, the modern system of manufactur- ing minimizes the skill of most of those who. are employe enables a vast num- ber possessing very little skill to get em- ployment ‘There 'is another consequence perhaps not often econsidered—the -great risk of loss, partly from the breaking and wear- ing out of machinery, and far more from Thirty years ago a large worsted mill in New England built and fitted with the most improv machinery. Hardly had it beer put in ration before a nmew method of spi ning worsted was invented. 1 important invention, and if cogtinued to use its machinery not manufacture as fine goods nor at so low a cost as could a new mill with the improved, machinery. The directors did fot wait long. They threw out nearly $1,000,000 worth of machinery and put in | the new, and the old mills which had not the courage to do this and continued to make inferior goods and at higher price lost far more in the end. Every manufac- turer runs a risk of this nature; never before was human ingenuity so stretched to improve the methods of manufacture and to diminish the cost of manufacturing in order to gain an advantage over com- petitors. Machinery to the value of many millions is thrown aside every year to put in other that can be run with greater economy, That which i thrown aside is a waste or loss which cannot be lessened; it must be incurred or a still heavier loss will result. This accounts in part for the constant rebuilding of manufacturing enterprises Some are required gs a consequence of the growth of the couhtry; far more to ta the place of thcse that are worn out or antiquated. Not many years a duction of an iron furnace wa week, to-day it is 2000 tons, and the fur- nace ‘costs between $300.000 and $100,000 to build. The old furnace is a thing of the past, though many in a dismantle tion' may s > seen in_the fron tricts, remind t a day that is forev gone. Note—This study, by Dr. Albert 8.
