THE SHARE OF LABOR. ‘The United States Steel Corporation has done a grace~ ful and generous act in voluntarily increasing by 10 per - cent, the wages of about 100,000 of its employees. As the Increase will cost the corporation $4,000,000 a year, It affects wages aggregating $40,000,000, which, for 100,000, ‘would represent an average of $400 a year as the wages of each man. * ‘The corporation can afford to do it. The latest estimate 14,921, larger increase in wages would not perceptibly diminish the dividends of the stockholders on the market value of th) stock, Due credit should be given to the management of the *cueporation for its voluntary recognition of the principle that labor is entitled to some share of that prosperity which it creates, It is a rebuke to the sordid course of “the Coal Trust in refusing such recognition to its poorly paid workmen and in forcing the country to endure the ~ losses and dangers of a strike. " ’ “Nothing Dotng.”—A great many people who have not fatied to netice that New York has been unusually quiet @uring the past week may have falled to notice that Dis- trict-Attorney Jerome s on his vacation tour, SLOW-FOOTED JUSTICE. After two weeks of continuous and conspicuous ~ «hegiect of duty, authority in Suffolk County has bestirred " fteelf and a warrant has been Issued for Louls Disbrow, the missing witness in the Good Ground mystery, the Clarence Foster and Sarah Lawrence came to their jeathe in the shallow water of Tianna Bay. Tt was the plain duty of the Coroner and of the Dis- trict-Attorney to ijeave no means untried of ascertaining definitely whether these two deaths were the result of accident or of crime. The surrounding circumstances not directly to Louts Disbrow as being guilt!ly implicated in it. His flight and subsequent hiding tended to strengthen the suspicion against him and to call for his arrest as an ordinary precaution of justice. It is to be hoped that he may be found and that his testimony may definitely dispel the mystery of this tragedy.

KEEPING CONEY ISLAND CLEAN. The Grand Jury of Kings County has been looking mt Coney Island and reports that while conditions there gre somewhat improved the improvement will not be “permanent without increasing vigilance and unrelenting vigor in the suppression of vice. No effort should be spared for this end. Coney Island js one of the world's ‘garden spots. It 1s the ideal playground for New , York. No other great city in the world has within its limits an area so admirably adapted for purposes of rest and recreation for the people. © It should be made clean and kept clean, perfectly clean, Vice in all its forms should bo ruthlessly ex- terminated. Municipal reform means nothing if it does “not reform Coney Island, but Coney Island will never reform until we have a more active and efficient Police Department than we have now. » } Finding Coal—Threatened with prosecution for Its smoke julgance on its ferry-boats, the Pennsylvania road “found” 10,00 tens of bard eoal.

While the legal proceedings against the Dressed Heet Combine are dragging their slow length along the mem- bers of the combine are showfng their respect for the Yaw in em unexpected but not unnatural manner, Tf it 1s againet the law for separate firms and cor- porations to enter into combinations or agreements to fix prices or restrain production, it is not agaiust the law for the several firms and corporations to unite in a single corporation, and thus achieve the same object. This is what the packing firms of the country are re~ ported as about to do, All that is needed 1s an agree- ment as to the relattve value of the separate plants @nd | as to tMe future cOptl, and a cOnsOlidation may be rasily effected which can control the whole meat business of ‘the country, snap ite fingers at Congress and the courts and gouge the pubdlio to its heart’s content, without the slightest possible denger of interference, ‘Why should it not do s0?

THAT POSTPONED WEDDING. And the Dark Mystery | That Surrounded It. The wedding was to be a church affair and one of the re- hearsals had already been held. That rehearsal was Satur- day night. Sunday noon Harding's best man got an Inco- herent telephone call from Harding that brought him to that gentleman's apartments with all speed. “What In thunder do you mean by your babble over the wire abouE a postponed wedding?” he demanded as he strode into a darkened room and promptly stumbled over @ chalr. “Raise that curtain a Wit, Ritchie," moaned Harding “you know now, don't you?" he snarled in wrath as Ritchie's face ran the gamut of emotion from horror to a boorish guftaw. f ‘The storm broke over Harding an hour later when, un- wk: announced, uninvited and unwelcomed, bis flancee and her stately, mother swept into his rooms, Once again Ritchie Leamailibeg a ancapiainial taised the pitiless curtain, whereat May began to sob and |CHINESE EM PRESS’S SEAL hen mother grew more indignant. | Between the angry mother and the sobbing daughter and the regentful best man and his own mortification Harding was ready in ten minutes to yell for laudanum, Yet the in- evitable had to be bowed to, and the next day some hastily engraved cards went out postponing the elaborate function | to the 17th. It was the morning of the 16th that Harding was making his first call on his betrothed since the beginning of ihis en-| forced retirement, He departed on his way with eagerness. In the hallway of the Morrison mansion Mra, Morrison met him. Her eyes were swollen with weeping. Harding has what the Morrisons have not, a keen sense of the humorous, and he almost laughed as his eyes fell on} his fancee. “It will have to be postponed again, Arthur,’ Morrison severely. Harding threw up his hands, “I didn't bring her to ree me, Mrs, Morrison,” he cried, “Anyway, you sald she'd had tem. 1 don't caro, It's bad luck to put it off too often, Il marry her anyway’ “Indeed you won't. sald Mrs. * sobbed the bride-to-be hysterically. When ho burst Into Ritchie's office an hour later he re- membered suddenly that he did not know whether the wed- ding was to be postponed or was not to be postponed, whether the engagement was broken off or still stood, whether in case of an ultinate marriage he would require Ritchie's services, “At any rate, old fellow,” he sald wearily mopping hys- terical tears from his eyes, ‘do me a last favor. Ring ‘em up and find out all these things for me.” Which Ritchie faithfully did and thereon reported. The wedding finally came off last week in a hush and quiet that oceustoned even more gossip than its two post poning# had done. Ritchie and one solitary maid left out of the summer exodus were the only guests. Just as Harding was getting Into the carriage he turned to Ritchie; “Vl give you a pointer,’ he sald earnestly, ‘When your wedding day Is set and your kid brother gets the mumps you want to strike for a hotel or kill the kid.” ‘The seal.
