What Happened to n Workshop of Louii

Blanc.
After the revolution Of 1912 Louis Blanc
started workshop where principles OF
equality were practiced. The wages were
the same for all, but the names of all idlers
were written upon the walls. All work
was very we'll paid for, as he had an order
from the State to supply uniforms for the
National Guard.
At the outset all went,very well. The
w0rkmen were sincere and ardent Social
lists, who made it point of honor that the
experiment of the new system should be a
success: but very soon this good under
standing came to an end. Those who were
more industrious or quicker than their
companions accused the latter Of idleness;
they felt themselves victims of injustice,
for the remuneration was not in proportion
to the zeal and activity displayed. They
were being cheated and duped," and this
was intolerable; hence quarrels, arguments
and fights. The temple of brotherhood was

settlers were ali plcKeQ men, ana he sup
piled them with all they needed for the cul-

tural implements, the produce of the har-
vests, everything in fact was to be owned
and all work carried on in common for the
space of three years. The plan was excel
lent. 1t nevertheless turned out failure.
Although the colonists were soldiers, ac-
customed to discipline passive obedience
and equal pay, and without private home
or family, still they could not 60

The FAVORED FEW.

New York Not n City of Homes for Its
People.
New York is not city of homes except
for the favored few. These must be able
to invest from $4,000 to 100000 in that
"home," and spend from $4,000 to S25,
a year to keep up the establishment. l live
in modest fat on Sixty-ninth street, west
side, about midway between the Hud-
son River and Central Park, paying
$40 a month for that privilege. The
same fiat three squares nearer the Ele-
waited railroad station would bring $50 per
month. There are solid rows of residences
about and being built near me, not one Of
which can be purchased for less than
$4,000 and they run all the way up to
100000. II costs from $1,000 to S25, 600 to
furnish one of these appropriately. Stroll
ing up Ninth avenue the other day l noted
a sign-board on vacant lot between two
residences on a side street-Eighty-fir
street: "This lot and party walls, S35, 000."
1t was only the regulation twenty-four foot
lot but the cellar had been excavated.
Fancy man in Philadelphia or Pittsburg
investing such a sum in such lot five or six
miles from his business. l asked con-
tractor about the matter. He. tells me that
almost any lot on the west side OF Central
Park will cost $4,000 exeavated, and de-
sirable ones $4,000 up. The cost of ex-
cavating shallow cellar for a high-stoop
residence is considerable, as the solid
rock must be quarred. The steam drills
are at it in every direction. There

Some years ago General Noble, now Secre-

The most important of all the conditions

kind has been sorrow.
In death, the common lot of all, even the
rich and the strong have beheld the de-
spoiler of all their vain shows. Against
the inevitable calamities which shatter or
dissolve the works of mans hand-earth-
quake and tempest and flood-no human
power has avaied. These lessons of IA
ture, who is no respecter of classes or per-
sons, as to the fralty Of all human power
and possession. have profoundly impressed
all hearts, Loss has led to precious gain.
But the greatest of human sufferings,
those which embitter all life, have been of
human infliction. The situation of the
great majority of mankind in ancient times
those OF which we have any definite record
was one of abjcct wretchedness. Already
existed only in the poets fancy. In state
OF barbarism mems wants were few and
simple, but their passions were violent, and
for the weak there was no security. Every
desirable garden on the earth was a bait
to the rapacity OF conquest, the arena of in
vasloD, following upon invasion, like the
waves OF hungry sea. Civilization, on the
Its peace was, for the great body of people,
a level desolatioD. Their lot was one of
humilating drudgery. Of depressing, hope
less poverty.
But it was especially unto the poor that
the Gospel Of the Eternal Word was
preached. To such the voice of God comes
nearer, because it is more willingly and
gladly heard. The broken heart is open;
there is no pride to close the way thereunto.
An angel whispers in the ear OF every slave,
and upon him who hath nothing all heaven
waits.
Sorrow, too, lies near true repentance,
even as the broken becomes readily the
contrite heart; pride has no place In the
chastened and subdued mood. The soul,
weary of struggle and Its own discomfort,
receives the divine voice and is comforted.
Even ones ignorance may help him here,
in this soft, unresisting attitude, making
him more readily the recipient of the d.
vine wisdom, more plant to the counsels OF
the Spirit Of Love.-From God in His

English Law and the Railroads.

The railroads Of England must be easier
to reach through the law than those of the
United States. An English railroad has
just been sued for injuries inflicted upon an
unborn child. The mother was a passenger
on one Of its trains when an accident oc-
CURED which gave her profound nervous
shock. The infant when born was a Grip
pie, the defects, according to number Of
learned doctors, being caused by the acct
dent and the profound shock to the mothers
nervous system. The case is expected to
become cause celebEe and to raise new
questions relating to the liabilities of rail-
roads. Probably no one in the United
States will ever sue railroads for injuries
inflicted upon an unborn baby-not, at
least, until 1t is great deal easier k ret

peared and has not been heard from since.
The police OF San Francisco have been

that he has lost his life. He had lately be-

suspected he started off on such mission,

AN UNPROVOKED ATTACK.
The Cutting ARRAY at Peterman's
Bakery, on Saturday.

The Cutting ARRAY at Peterman's
Bakery, on Saturday.
A gentleman who is closely allied to
the family of Peterman, who was cut by
knife Saturday evening, is much in
censed over the matter and deplores the
row which lead to the cutting. Said he:
"Mr. Peterman is one of the substan-
tial business men of the city, and is as
peaceable and peace-loving man as
there is in it. He attends closely 10 his
business during the day, and every
evening finds him at home with his
family. On Saturday evening, one Will
Jams, who is in some way connected
with Harris theater, came to Peter
mans bakery, at511 st. Peter street, and
going through the saleSroom, entered
the apartment where the bakers wers
at work. A disturbance soon occurred,
and Williams talked loudly, prOfanely
and obScenely. After time Peterman
went to the scene and demonstrated
against such language. Williams then
began to abuse Peterman until the lat
ter opened the door and showed him out.
No more was seen of Williams until
Peterman mad locked his store door at
night, and had started for home, when
Williams suddenly sprang up before
him and stabbed him about an inch
under the heart. Peterman reached
home bleeding protusely and was in
critical condition during Sunday, but is
rapidly improving now. He did nothing
to provoke the assault, except what has
been described, and used very little
force, and no violence, ejecting Will
Jams.
It's understood that Williams trial
will not be held until Peterman is able
to appear in court, and that the case
will be prosecuted by the state.
