HOW AUsTRIA's TARIFF WORKS.
"a Dollar Day" is More Than The Car
pet Weaver Makes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Julius Goldschmidt,
consul-general at Vienna. has furnished a re-
port upon the carpet industry of Austria-Hun-
gary. He says there are eight establishments
in his district operating 756 hand looms and
SSS power looms. There are 2,441 laborers in
all employed, who produce annually S,227,0O0
forins worth of carpet. The men in Bohemia
earn from S2.40 to 50 a week the women from
SLIGO to So and children from Sl10 TO 8. In
Austria the wages are: Men, $40 to $3.50;
women, Sl.90 to $780, children, $l.33 TO $2.15.
days work comprises eleven hours with half
an hour for dinner. Consul Goldschmidt said :
Wages in Australia in this particular branch
OF business are sufficiently moderate, but those
paid In Bohemia are starvation wages. Work
men as a rule in this monarchy are usually
steady and methodical in their labor, but do
not work as energetically as the American
workmen. They are industrious but are fond
OF amusement and are too often interrupted
by the numerous holidays observed here
Their homes are far from comfortable. There
are few houses inhabited by a single
family; generally one house shelters
from eight 10 twelve families. Over
crowding is great in these dwellings
and morality is affected by it. On account of
the dearness OF the land there is a scarcity of
small houses suitable for single family. The
dress of the workmen is tolerably good. Much
wine and beer consumed by the lower
classes though drunkenness does not prevail
TO great extent. Since the great battle be-
tween capital and labor has begun, the condi-
ton OF the laboring classes OF this monarchy
has been visibly, and, trust, permanently i'm
proved, though there is great room for i'm
Provement in wages in this special line of
business"

Confusion reigned on the streets. The burn

Men ran and women shrieked Horses we're

fortunately the falling wire nowhere touched
any human being and no casualties followed.

taken from Jail at 1880, and asked If he was

drummer who accompanied the mob knelt by
the side of Berrier and prayed fervently that
God would save his soul. During the prayer

Lord, grant IT," etc., went up from the mob.

religious services were conducted. A few min
utes before midnight Berrier expressed his
willingness to die. He was placed upon a
horse, with a rope about his neck, and then. as
an appropriate hymn was raised the horse was
