WORKMEN, It Js estimated that in four counties In the region of Pennsylvania the Coal Trust is now employ ing 5,000 men on the coal and iron police. ‘These men receive each $4.0 day as wages, double the earnings of the laborer who works in the coal mines. In addition they must be fed and lodged, They must also be armed with revolvers and with the newest and most ef- fective breech-loading magazine rifles, warranted to kill, In all it Is estimated that this police force has cost the Coal Trust up to date not less than $1,800,000. Senator Hanna asserts that the concession of a five per cent. increase in wages to the miners would have averted the strike, The additional payment of ten cents a day to 140,000 miners would cost the companies $14,000 a day—or about three-fourths of the wages of Its 6,000 armed policemen. During the fifteen weeks of the strike the companies would have paid out $1,260,000 to Its work- men in wages for mining coal instead of paying out $1,800,000 to its armed workmen for doing nothing. On the other hand. however, if the mines had been in operation coal would have sold at {ts normal price and the Coal Trust would not have been able to peddle out five or ten million tons of reserve stock at an ad- vance of $3 per ton. Looked at from a strictly business point of view the investment of $1,800,000 in a police force to starve out the miners has been a good investment for the Coal Trust. coal PATERSON’S WHITE WINOS, When a woman will she will, depend on't, and in Paterson her will that a certain street block should be kept clean has put the men to shame. For weeks the women protested against the filthiness of Water street between Arch and Clinton. Husbands and brothers peti- tloned the Aldermen, grumbled, threatened, pleaded. Threats and pleas being of no avail, the wives and sisters organized themselves {nto a street-cleaning com- mittee of twenty and yesterday they set themselves to their Augean task. Turning out at 7 A. M. with shovels, rakes, picks, hoes and brooms, they removed the ac- cumulated rubbish of months within a few hours and left the erstwhile offensive block ‘‘as sweet and shiny as a new washboiler.” The fluttering of feminine “white wings” as the work went on was a goodly sight to see. it 1s a matter of general observation that the clvic spirit of the women of New Jersey {s superior to that of the men. In Montclair, Summit, Morristown, In most of the “commuting” towns adjacent to New York many of the local improvements have been the result of fem- inine initiative. The men of the house give a divided al- legiance to cily and suburb; the women, more directly | concerned with their homes, take a keener interest in| the village government. SULGRAVE MANOR. Manhattan Beach to-night will entertain with appro- priete ceremonies a delegation of hustlers from St. Louis who are visiting New York in the interests of that great national enterprise, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. ; No welcome can be given these gentlemen that they do not deserve. Their daring and energy have assured the success of an exposition which will dim the lustre of all previous attempts alike in Philadelphia, in Chicago and in Paris. ‘They even propose, there wild and woolly Western- ers, to purchase the ancestral home of the Washingtons ‘n England, and to transport the manor house of Sul- grave, brick bv brick, lintel and roof-tree and starred and striped coat of arms and all, to St. Louis and to set | it up anew just as it stands in the beautiful exposition grounds, a memorial to the nation of Washington forever. ‘This is as {t should be. Had there been no Sulgrave Manor there had been no George Washington, and had there been no George Washington there might have been | no Louisiana Purchase and the people of St. Louis might) now be singing “God Save the King” instead of “Hall, | Columbia.” By all means let us have Sulgrave Manor as a memo- riai and a shrine not less sacred than Mount Vernon.

If this 1s the manner of administering municipal at- fairs contemplated by a reform administration then the people of New York have been laboring under a gross misunderstanding. The course of Commissioner Sturgis admits of no de- Yense.

Sa teeta A WENDISH WEDDING PARTY. Of all the Slavic races of Germany the Wends of the Spreewald, near Berlin, have best preserved* their tribal pecullarities of dress, manners and customs. ‘This Is probably due to the fact that the Uttle colony is very compact and Isolated and leads a very quiet Ife, the principal occupations being farming and fishing. The pecullar dress is also an attraction for tourists and serves as a distinctive and professional costume for the Wendish nursemaids, who are in great demand in Berlin, Wendish marriages are arranged by professional marriage brokers, called drushdas, ‘The drush= ba even sends the invitations to the wedding, to which he is not mitted until he has made a. speech, supposed to be very witty. In some villages a mock marriage by purchase takes place. In. others a big earthen pot, disguised by a cloak into some semblance of a h ck, 1s first offered” as the bride and 1s then smashed by the drushba amid general hilarity. A peculiar feature of be- trothals 1s the bridegroom's format apology to the bride's parents for any wrong which he may have done them unwittingly. The wedding procession 1s picturesque. The highways of the Spreewal@ are the numerous watercourses by which the flat country Is intersected, and the vehicies are flat bottomed boats, which for weddings are provided with denches, each of which comfortably accommoe dates one couple, as the picture shows. . Sy FIRST TRUST ON RECORD. SIAMESE TWIN CHICKENS. ‘ ‘The earliest form of trust that ever existed was undoubtedly the cornering of food-stuffs by monarchs and their agents. Accounts of such transactions are to be found in Assyrian records dating back 7,000 or 8,000 years; and the Bible describes a very large oper- ation of this kind carried out by Joseph when, out of the wealth of the seven fat years, he provided for the poverty of the seven lean ones, says Stray Storles. The Romans did the same thing through their tax-farmers, who laid embargoes on the food supplies of the provinces against arrears of taxes, and the probability is that similar opera- tions were also conducted with regard to manwfactures, ‘Another form of monopolies, known as trade gullds, has existed from the very early times, and these, in the middle ages, amounted practically to the cor- nering of certain arts and industries, . as well as means of distribution. The greatest of them was the famous league of the Hanse towns. Sp close a ‘combine’ possessed {ts own fleets of armed m chantment, and even armies of m cenaries in order to guard Its monopoly —a lengih to which not even American capitalists have yet ventured to pro- ceed, _ CANADA’S GAME FIELDS. 'To one who knows what the vast soli- tudes of Northern Canada really mean the dread of game extermination ns rather uncalled for, says Outing. The latest census of Labrador gives it a population of one man to every thirty- five square miles. This can hardly be called an inconvenient crowding, There are almost as many persons In a 4: east side New York block as there a in the whole of Labrador. Why should game become extinct in this region?

MARRIAGE NAMES. Why do blushing brides assume their husband's names on the wedding day and forfett their own forever after? The cynic's reply that they have little else to lose and are bound, for decorum eake, to make some small sacrifice fur the wel meaning man who offers up so much for them on the hy- meneal altar, 1s far too flippant to’ be considered seriously, says the Pittsburg Gazette. The plain truth is that this time- honored custom is one of the oldest relics of a barbarous epoch, when a woman was a mere appendage. She was an integral portion of the gens or family, now of her father, now of her brother, now of her husband. She had no inde- pendent entity of her own. Hence she took over the sur- name of her legal protector, giving up that of her father Names were a label indicating ownership and changed a Get a bottle with a wide opening and,’ cordingly. ‘This te so true that wherever woman's rights were |rlose It With a cork tn which a. gaa acknowledged—an was the case among many wild tribes—|(uinel ls inaersey loss all craven the child received the mother’s name, or the appeliaiion of | vith water, in which you drop two! her gens, not that of the male parent, and, consequently, In|, owoers belonging to a seldiltz powde war time, when the two people were laying waste each |iphe carhonic acid gas generated triew! other's territory, fathers and sons were generally Nghting 10 |io escape thro the funnél, But by opposite camps, Thus the head of the family has always |piacing two or three small balls, made of cork, Jn the funnel, the gas can eat} jcape only a little at a time, as one or bestowed his name on the members, and the first outward sign of female emancipation, when it does come, will be th maintenance by young wives of thelr maiden names, with or |the other of the Mttle balls will keep-: without the patronymic of thelr husbands, Why snould it [the opening of the funnel clowed, until + not be 80 even now?
