Poverty.

Tuesday afternoon the supervisors ofthe
in the woods just west of the city in con-
dition demanding help at once. On lnves-
tigation the following facts were brought
to light: The men came to Owosso from
Lansing in October last. intending to go
north to find work, but for some reason de-
cided to stay here; they located on the
farm of Mrs. j. Stewart. near the line Of
NJ c. railroad, built hut in the woods
with the bOugns Of pine trees and have
lived there since; the hut Is five or six feet
across it either way, divided by pieces of
carpet INTO two parts, in one of which they
have a fire and sleep curled around it; dur
ing most Of the winter they have had moth
ing to eat but pancakes made of middlings.
When asked if they wanted 10 be helped
they replied mo-" saying that they had q
little money left and preferred 10 remain
there than go to the poor house. The
wonder is that both have not frozen to
death long ago. as the place is open all
around and the only protection or covering
they have had is the carpet given them by
some of the people Of the neighborhood.
The people on the west side have furnished
them with food during the week. One of
the men said he preferred to live in the
way he did than to go back to the Ingham
county poor house. where he had been
formerly.

In nehalr Of the Wool Interest.

Hon. A. W. Beard, ex-collcctor of the
port of Boston and present rtate treasurer,
in the course Of n lengthy eply to q free
trade letter by Robert Biai.ie, scores the
following points:
"You say you will not seek the aid of
statistics to refute my statements. You
had better let statistics alone in this case.
In 1860 the entire consumption of wool In
the United States was only $4,000, 900
pounds. In 1886, over 400, 600, 900 pounds
This shows better than your operations or
mine the development of the wooden in
dustry Of this country. So much for de-
velopment Of the wooden industry prior
to and since 1860. You do not dispute
that the masses are clothed better and
cheaper than ever before, but you say it
Is because of the Improved appliances"
now ia use. The cost Of clothing, like
other manufactures, is made up from ma
terials entering into the garment and the
labor of making up. The prices paid to-
day for making overcoats, undercoats,
vests and trousers ere higher than the
prices paid in 1860. 1t is the development
Of the wooden industry in the United
States that has so reduced the cost Of
clothing. You have done your share in
this development. Why make statements
that all manufacturers and dealers know
to be disingenuous and unwarrantcd IL
not ridiculous?
"Now, it depends upon tho standpoint
you occupy, how You look upon the prop
osition OF free wool. IL you believe in
this principle Of protection 10 American
Industries In the adjustment Of the tariff,
then il becomes a matter of equity ~ be-
tween the manufacturers and the wool
growers. AZ the present low price &c
wool the duty on wool is fraction more
than half the duty on wooden goods. In
1860 the production Of wool in this coun-
try was about GO, 600, 600 pounds; in 1867,
100, 0O0, 900 pounds; il rose 10 100 O0O, 900
pounds in 1869, and then fell of to $50,
600, 900 in 1872. After 1872 the produc-
ton of wool Increased each year, reaching
SOC, 000, 900 pounds In 1884. For ten years
previous TO 1884. inclusive, this country
produced four-fifths Of It's entire consump-
ton Of wool. Certainly wool growing is

She had shaved herself for more than

went out of her mind she forgot all about
her beard, and no one dared to use a razor
on her. For the last three weeks she was
