WORDS FROM THE PEOPLE.
COAL, KEROSENE, KINDLNGS AND SUGAR
ALL GOING UP IN PRICE.

Tho Rise Affects the Retail Dealers Fir,s.
and then Reaches the Poor People, with
Whom Pennies Are scnrcer Just Nov
than They HIVE Been for Some Time
Moro Talks with Retail Merchants.
Everything in the way Of necessaries seems
to be going up in price. Coal, kerosene.
kindlings and sugar show m advance all along
the line. THE EVENING WoBID's talks with
retail dealers show that monopoly Is making
itself felt in many ways among the poor of
the city.
Nicholas Rose owns q neat and ell-stocked
grocery at 1876 West Thirty-second street. He
employs several clerks. one of whom said,
I'VE sell coal only by the bushel, and charge
80 cents for that quantity. That is the high
even if tho larger dealers raise on us again
we shall continue to sell at that price. The
people can't afford to pay more;m
A.. Wiener, of 23O West Thirty-second
street, said " sell coal at Q cents per pail,
lately got 20 cents for three and o half
pounds. Potatoes are 20 cents for q half
peck. Oh, yes, everything is a great deal
higher this year than last. Why, last year OF
this time I could buy for $50 what I now
other day, and it's right"
Herman Reison keeps a grocery store al
ago Elizabeth street. His clerk said Our
customers are all poor, and, worse still,
many of them are out of work Of course
we sell mostly in small quantities. Just now
we get six cents for a half a pail of coal and
eight cents for o quart of potatoes"
As the clerk finished an elderly, poorly
dressed woman carne in.
Powerful cold, amt IL This is the kind
of weather to use up coal" she. said, and,
counting out six pennies, she laid them on
the counter. will, I've got q pail outside,
and want some ~coal-good measure, too"
= Quite O pretentious establishment Is the
grocery store of II. H.. Becker, at tho corner
of Mott and Houston streets. Mr.. Becker's
clerk is a wide-awake young mar and GER
tainly knows his business. ITS q little
dull he said, " after the holidays, but bust
ness is picking up some now and we have no
cause to complain. We don't sell coal ,
there is no profit in it nowadays The rise in
kindling wood affects us more than our Gus
toners. We used to pay 81. 60 per 100 bun
dies. It now costs us 81. 90, blu we have not
changed the price to our customers-two
bundles for five cents. We sell in small
quantities, but do not give credit"
The grocery store of Henry Hanke Is at acc
Elizabeth street. Mr.. Hanke's clerk said
Business is middling. The rise of one cent
in kerosene is affecting the poor people
around here, to whom one cent means q
great deal. Kindling wood, too. has gone
up. 1t is very rarely that we get orders for
over three and one-half pounds of flour, q
peck of potatoes, or O pail of coal at one
time. We deal a good zeal in canned goods.
To certain customers we give credit"

CHARACTER AND REPUTATION.

II Is said of Cashier O'BRrEN, the default
ing fugitive from Auburn, that his personal
character stands the closest investigation"
the /" only charge against him being hat he
was p~assionately fond of poker" and this is
modified by the statement that he was :" a
lucky player, many thousands ahead of tho
game"
What q simple, truly good lifei It In in
deed an heroic virtue to always keep " ahead
Of the game Especially if you gamble with
other peoples money.
That Mr.. O'BRIEN defaulted and ran away
i ct last would seem to indicate that his repu-
| tation was better than his character.

Honey Thieves.
FRANK GRIFFIN.

On Saturday night, the Sth inst.
thieves entered the apiary on the farm
Of Charles Ellsworth in Greenwood,
and took quantity of honey. This is
not the first time they have visited this
place. They are experts and handle
the hives and honey as though they
knew how, being careful TO make but
little noise. They took it away in q
buggy. Their track was easily follow
ed for about three miles To Green's Cor
ners where they turned up to Mr.. Jack
sons saloon, and dead bees were found
here From here they turned south
about mile and turned up in front of
Mr.. Jackson's house, where the honey
was taken out and carried inside the
gate in the door yard. where the frames
holding the honey were set down
against the board fence. Hundreds of
bees were scattered over the ground
from the roadside through the gate
and IS feet inside the yard. some dead,
some flying and many crawling about
daubed with honey, especially where
the crates were set down. The buggy
turned out and went on and was follow
ed to the next crossing. where it was
lost track of. Mr. Jackson thought the
thieves had stopped to shake off the
bees, but did not hear them, he having
no dog TO give the alarm. The owner
of the apiary will pay SlOtO any person
giving information that will lead TO the
conviction of the thieves. The horse
driven was gray. this fact being known
by quantity of hair from the main
left on both sides Of IL small tree to
which it had been hitched. The horse
had a mddling-sized hoof. smooth toe
and heel calks nearly half inch square.

triotic thas they are willing to rob
themselves that no foreigners may be
allowed to sell them goods for prices to
correspond with their own income, or
are so unthinking as to suppose that
the American manufacturers with all
the natural advantages ON their side,
cannot successfully compete with for
eign manufactures without the back
bone and sinew of the republic being
taxed to keep them alive the poor in
