The Pennsylvania Steel Company
commenced business in 1850 with
capital of S2,000000. In one year the
company paid dividends of % per
cent, cash, IS per cent in new
method of stock dividsnds, after
which it had surplus left Of ~ iGl,-
d23, or equal to profits amounting to
202 per cent. In addition to this
there was about 100000 to add for
six months profits, showing the hand
some profit of $50 per cent. The
New York Sun, from which the
above figures were taken, says thai
an investigation of the company's
business by the courts put the COM
pany's immense transactions on rec
ord, and they are indisputable. The
question naturally arises how much
did the workingmen getl The high
est skilled workmen received an av-
erage of $l.l5 per day, and the ordi.
nary laborer's average was So cents
day. This is tho way the laboring
man is protected, In this case there
were millions TO be divided between
tire stockholders, whilethe men who
did the work must be content with
T,l5 and 50 cents day for full day,
work in week. What the grand
old party has been doing fol. years for
the poor man will be very kindly
continued for all time if a change,
and a big one, is not made in the tar
i'll laws. Must the laborer kiss the
hand that smites him forever?

One of the funny sides of celebrated

or heavy monetary penalty, devel-

fundity of Goucher, or the incisiveness
of Grady could not impress the jury
They had to have en- ocular demon

Row With a Circus,

Yesterday, the 18th. Franklin was Wis.
tied by McMshone's circus. At IL
O'Clock a.a. they had what they called
a grand street parade, consisting of one
band carriage and brass band. The
performance commenced at 2 pm, with
the promise of one in the evening, but
the evening performance did not come
off owing to disgraceful affair which
occurred soon after the opening in the
afternoon. One of our aged and highly
respected citizens had been taking his
children in. and was standing near
the entrance; near him was
man who had been doing some
work for the company. While
there, the doorkeeper shouted 10 the
ticket-seller to pay this man who had
been doing the work So. Our ased
citizen who was in his working clothes
and did not lock rs If he was worth
much, although he is one among the
wealthiest in the comm Unity, thought
the doorkeeper meant him; and that it
was an insult, and replied, that he did
not want any Of his dollars, as be Fad q
few of his own. The doorkeeher hear
ing ahis, replied very inspltsbgly, saying
that the ciJlzen looked HE he needed
dollar or two and ogiared the aged
gentleman away. A sun of the gentle-
man who happened to be near by, and
heard the lnSr.lt to his father, Thea
stepped up and told Lis father he had
taken emo .gh from that man, and if he
would not reta.iate he would, and
sts. led for the doo1keeper. A few
words passed between them, when
quickly the doorkeeper struck the yon1g
man and three or four of the circus
men Joined in the attack. One blew
whistle. which brought in double
quick time about fifteen OF the circus
hands, armed with clubs and weapons,
which they had apparently prepared for
such an affair. The citizens, seeing that
the circus men meant mischief. joined
in the fuss and drove the circus men
iuto the entrance, and also the door
keeper. The young man who took his
fathers part received some heavy
blows on the face, and blood flowed
freely. His father also received heavy
blow on the lower lip. While this was
going on, Tensile member of the gang
was seen with 4 pistol, which she held
in her pocket, and was seeking an op-
portupity to shoot the young man.
Later on the young man returned and
demanded that the man come out and
fight him, or he would have him ar
rested. The woman again appeared
and in speaking to one CT the citizens,
said that if the young man did any
thing she would give him enough, etc.
Some of the citizens went for the officers,
and the circus men getting wind of it
in short time tents were down and a
freight train going up. they soon were
aboardsand away. n.

THERE IS a section Of Washington
society, the sternly exclusive set, which
affects to regard with disdain, and aims
to keep at distance the new people
whom the fortunes of political war are
constantly sending to the front here.
These severely select people assume
the attitude toward the mixed official
society of the capital which the veille
nobIesse in France assumed toward the
Second Empire Crowd. Some years
ago an old dame of the exclusive set
was heard to say that she woulo not
receive General Grant into her house.
When Mrs. Clevelsnd became the rage,
however, the Selects" in due time,
thawed out and smiled upon her, and
in consideration of her beauty and
brightness and general refinement they
consented to overlook her accidency
and newness and accept her as one of
themselves. OF late. however, it is said,
the 'seiects" have come to regret their
generous treatment of the young
woman. and il is probable will drop her.
The trouble, it seems, arises from Mrs.
Cleveland's continuing to receive as her
anu W IICdG DIS Ill 4ulluldLS OuC
Miss Katharine Willard, a beautiful
girl, who possesses voice of wonderful
sweetness, ard who was schoolmate
of the mistress of the White House.
When Miss Willard first came to
Washington last winter, as a guest Ct
Mrs. Cleveland, she was received with
wide-open arms by society of all grades.
Along towards spring, society was
shocked by the announcement that Miss
Willard had accepted position as in
structress in local young ladies'
school, Of course, society people said
they would be compelled to cease to
know her, although it would cost them
no little regret, as she was such dear
sweet girl; and, of course, they
thought Mrs. Cleveland would also
cease to receive Miss willard. But, to
their dismay, Mrs. Cleveland continues
to associate with Miss Willard lust as if
the latter were not q working girl. and
actually has her now as guest at Oak
View. 1t has been fearfullv trying
ordeal for the exclusives, tut it is said
they have set their faces as firmly as is
consistent with good form, and resolved
that they owe it to their sacred exclu-
siveness, come what may, to drop Mrs.
Cleveland as well as her working-girl
friend.

through the entire meal. Being tri1e

while his wife was in another part of

and went to bed. As the evening wore
on, the lady grew very cross, and men
