THE agitation for increased bridge
facilities across the Harlem calls out
the New York Star in a strong plea
for the a%bolishing of all bridges and
the construction of tunnels. 1t is
only a question of time when all COM
m%unication in and out of New York
will be by tunnel instead of by
bridge. The restricted and cramped
condition of all bridge traffic growing
worse and worse year by year will
necessitate this as a measure of com.
fort, convenience and safety. Even
the elevated railway business Will in
time be supplanted by an under,
ground railway from the Battery tt
Harlem. There is not room ovel
ground, in the confined space be
tween the two rivers, for the traffic
and it must go underground.

IN THE INDUSTRIAL FIELD.

A BLOCK OF admirably arranged houses
for working women is being erected at
Bedford Park, suburb of London.
IT is impossible for woman to sue
ceed in New ork as stenographer who
does not know something of every thing
pertaining to business
ACCORDING to reports which have re-
Gently been published, Germany en-
ploys ), 500, 900 Of women in industrial
pursuits; England, 1900, 600; France, 81
$50, 900; Italy, $500. 900, and Austro-Hun-
gary nearly the same number.
A WOMAN first established in the Isle
of Harris the wool weaving industry,
which is now so lucrative to the natives.
Four hundred women are employed in
spinning, dyeing and weaving the cloth
so appreciated now for tailor gowns and
general costumes and wraps for real SER
vice.
THERE are now 120 women in the Ber-
lin telephone exchanges. 1t has been
decided to use only women in future, as
it has been found that their voices are
much more audible than mems, owing to
the higher pitch. The men previously
engaged have not been discharged, but
have been gradually drafted off to diff
ferent work. In one of the smallest ex-
changes there are fifty women working
eight hours a day. only the chief and in
specting staff being men.
A VIENNA correspondent says: 'One-
third of all the post and telegraph clerks
and all the telephone clerks, as well as
the teachers in girls schools, are wom-
en-. Lately a lady oculist, Frau DR..
KerSchbaumer, of Salzburg. was allowed
to open hospital of her own. School
teachers are we'll paid, their salaries
ranging from $500 to $500. A large pro-
portion come from noble families and

The position of governess, on the con-
trary, is much disliked
THERE are, says the Churchman, few
trades and professions now which wom-

gave a return of 347 women blacksmiths
in the United Kingdom, over 10000
women book binders, over 8, 900 women

about $500 civil service women clerks,
over /, 100 women painters, nearly IS, 900
women engaged in medical work, nurs-

and authors, and more than 1900 en-

FREE SUGAR.
The People VIII Hereafter Pay Two Cents a

The People VIII Hereafter Pay Two Cents a
Pound Less Than Before.
For the reduction of the revenues the
Mills bill relied chiefly on free wool, the
Mckinley bill on free sugar This cir
cumstance admirably illustrates the
difference in spirit and purpose between
the two measures We consume 600,-
boo, 900 pounds of wool annually and we
can produce the whole of it We do not
need to go abroad for single fibre. We
consume 1, 423, 900 tons of sugar, and we
can produce only DOG, 900 tons. not 90 per
cent. of our demand. Now, the Repub-
ican policy is to protect wool, which we
can and do produce, so as to hold our
market for our own producers, and to
encourage wool-growing and wool-man-
ufacturing; and, on the other hand,
freely admit sugar, which We are not
largely producing, so as to put it into
the coffee cups of own people at the
lowest possible price. The Democratic
policy is to admit wool free, thus draw
ing the semi-sayage wool growers of
Asia and South America into competi-
ton with our farmers, to the inevitable
destruction of our wool industry, and to
tax sugar. The Republican policy pro-
poses to send no more money out of the
country than is absolutely necessary.
The Democratic policy proposes to
send out as much as possible, and
needlessly to tax the American con-
sumer as we'll. With wool on the
free list every advantage is handed
over to the foreign producer, and with a
duty on sugar every hardshipis imposed
upon the American consumer. With
wool protected every advantage is held
for the American producer, and with
sugar free every advantage is left to the
American consumer. . ."r
1t is especially to be noted that in this
opening Of our ports to the sugar of the
world, we have freed the people from all
danger of having to pay tribute to a
trust The sugar that comes in, up to
No 16, is a white, excellent sugar, fit
for table use anywhere. The people are,
therefore, beyond the reach of any COM
bination of refiners

we all passed out towards the church
filled with hundreds of natives, who SET
up song as we came. But we went on
into the hut, which was crowded with
such of the natives as usually worshiped
there. Here Mr.. Carson, as usual, read
the service, though he was obliged to sit
down in order to do so. When it was
done-and to me it seemed interminable
Mr.. Carson whispered to me that he
meant to marry us outside the hut in
sight of all the people, SO we went out
and took our stand under the shade of a
large tree that grew near the hut facing
the bare space where the natives were
gathered.
Mr.. Carson held up his hand to enjoin
silence. Then, speaking in the native
dialect, he told them that he was about
to make us man and wife, after the
Christian fashion and in the sight of all
men. This done, he proceeded to read
the marriage service over US, and very
solemnly and beautifully he did it. We
said the words, placed the ring-it was
her fathers signet ring, for we had no
other-upon Stella's finger and it was
done.
Then Mr.. Carson spoke. "Allan and
Stella" he said, 81 believe that the GER
emony which has been performed makes
you man and wife in the sight of God
and man, for all that is necessary to
make a marriage binding is that it
should be celebrated according to the
custom of the country where the parties

tom that has been in force here for
fifteen years or more that you have been
married in the face of all the people,
and in token of it you will both sign the

PEARL BUTTON INDUSTRY.
Revival of an Ipdustry Blasted BY Tariff
Reduction. H. Hf

Revival of an Industry Blasted BY Tariff
Reduction. ... .F #
The new Tariff bill has resurrected
the pearl button industry in the United
States, and the entire supply of pearl
buttons for this country will hereafter
come from home factories.
The decline of this industry in Amer
lea after the reduction of the tariff in
1888 was sudden and sweeping. Its re-
vival under the new bill promises to be
just as sudden, and in a very few
months it is predicted that 1t will be on
firmer basis than it ever was before.
The factories that are now in operation
can not begin to get as many workmen
as they want Notwithstanding the fact
that firms have been advertising for
men for weeks. Several manufacturers
have already advanced the wages Of
their men. One of the first firms in
Philadelphia to increase wages was
that of Lazarus, Swartz & Upper, pro-
prietors of the Bidde Button Works.
They made new schedule of wages,
allowing an increase of from fifteen to
twenty per cent Isaac A. Swartz, of
future of the industry said:
The new Tariff bill has increased the duty
on pearl buttons about 100 per cent whIcn
Is practically prohibltory, but places the
manufacturers OF this country in better
position than they have ever been. We
have been enabled by the increase OF duty
to advance the wages OF our men from Is to
20 per cent. This means that men who have
been earning from sl2 to SIS per week will In
q nj n ra Qrr tn
means even more than that. for all the pearl
buttons that are made In this country from
now on will be made here, and that means
the starting Of new factories and the giving
of employment to 2.5Oo or 500 men.
Several thousand workmen were en-
ployed some years ago in the twenty
one pearl button manufactures OF
Newark, with good wages and steady
employment Congress reduced the
duty on foreign buttons. and the result
was that three-fourths of the factories
were closed, while wages were reduced
in those that remained open. Applica-
ton for relief was made to the Mills
committee in vain. Pearl buttons made
in Austrian prisons flooded the market
The bill had scarcely been signed be-
fore the Newark factories, that had
been so long silent began to start up
again. Before Christmas score of fac
tories will be in full operation, with
workers receiving the old time wages.
A like improvement is expected to
take place in the Newark thread indus
try. The Clark Company alone employs
5000 hands and pays $50. 600 in wages
weekly. The protective tariff made
great industry Of this in the United
States, after it had been brought from
Scotland. and the new tariff will give it
protection, without increasing the price
to the consumer, who now gets thread
at one-fourth of the cost which was
formerly demanded for the imported
article

How Canadians See the TarifY Tax

Some one recently asked Sir John A.
Mcdonald if there was any truth in the
Democratic slogan that the tariff is a
tax" and the Canadian Premier replied,
'.It is tax, and I'll prove it to you in a
sentence. Suppose / have 1000 bushels
of barley on this (the Csnadian) side
which desire to sell in the United
States. Under present law in America
must pay Is cents per bushel, or $50
in all upon my 200 bushels, before I
am permitted to cross the line with my
barley, and when l do cross the line
with it how much do 1 get for it? Why,
l get the American price, t' same that
barley is selling for over Il e. don't
add to that price the Is cents per bushel
that / paid in at the customs house.
Therefore. the tariff is a tax but un-
fortunately 1t is a tax upon our people
who ship their produce to the United
States"

ing sight of me instantly asked the
same question.
Then l told them every thing, both of
Hendricks threats and of her fierce at
tempt to carry them into execution. But
l did not tell my horrid dream.
Stella'S face grew white as the flowers
on her breast, but that of her father
became very stern
You should have spoken of this be-
fore, Allan" he said. u now see that l
did wrong to attempt TO civilize this
wicked and rcvengeful creature, who, if
she is human, has all the evil passions
OF the brutes that reared her. Well, l
will make an end Of it this very day."
'-Oh, father, said Stella, don't have
her killed. 1t is all dreadful enough.
but that would be more dreadful still. l
have been very fond of her, and, bad as
she is, she has loved me. Don't have
her killed on my marriage day"
NO her father answered, she shall
not be killed, for though she deserves to
die; will not have her blood upon our
hands. She is brute, and has followed
the nature of bruteS She shall go back
whence she came"
No more was said on the matter at the
time, but when breakfast-which was
rather a farce-was done, Mr.. Carson
sent for his head man and gave him Ger
tain orders
We were to be married after the service
which Mr.. Carson held every Sunday
morning in the large marble hut set
apart for that purpose. The service be-
gan at ten o'clock, but long before that
hour all the natives of the place came up
IN troops, singing as they came, to be
present at the wedding of the Star. 1t
was pretty sight to see them, the men
dressed in all their fnery, and carrying
shields and sticks in their hands, and
the women and children carrying green
branches of trees. ferns and flowers. At
length, about half-past nine, Stella rose.

AN AFRICAN ROMANCE.
CHAPTER X.-CoSTNUED.

'sDo you know how l caught her,
Macumazahn?" he said. "For several
nights have slept here with one eye
open, for l thought she had made a
plan. Tonight l kept wide awake,
though pretended to be asleep. An
hour after you got into the blankets the
moon rose, and saw beam of light
come into thehut through the hole in
the roof Presently | saw the beam of
light vanish. At first thought that a
cloud was passing over the moon, but l
listened and heard a noise as though
some one was squeezing himself through
a narrow place. Presently he was
through and hanging by his hands.
Then the light came in again, and in
the middle of it / saw the babyan-frau
swinging from the roof, and about to
drop into the hut She clung by both
hands, and in her mouth was great
knife. She dropped, and L ran forward
to seize her as she dropped, and gripped
her round the r&ddle. But she heard
me come, and, seizing the knife, struck
at me in the dark and missed me. Then
we struggled, and you know the rest.
You were very nearly dead tonight,
Macumazahn."
''Very nearly, indeed" answered,
still painting, and arranging the rags of
my night-dress round me as best might.
Then the memory of my hOrrid dream
flashed into my mind. Doubtless it had
been conjured up but the sound of
Hendrika dropping to the floor-in my
dream it had been grave that she
dropped into. All of it had been eX-
perienced in that second of time. Well,
dreams are swift; perhaps time itself is
nothing but dream. and events that
seem far apart really occur simultane-
ously.
We passed The rest of the night watch
ing Hendriza. Presently she came to
herself and struggled furiously TO break
the rein. But it was top strong even for
her, and, moreover, Indaba-zimbi uncer-
enormously sat upon her to keep her
quiet. At last she gave it up.
In due course the day broke-my mar
riage day. Leaving Indaba-zimbi to
watch my would-be murderess, went
and fetched some natives from the
stables, and with their aid bore Hendrika
to the prison hut-that same hut In
which she had been confined when she
had been brought baboon-child from
the rocks. Here we shut her up, and,
leaving Indaba-zimbi to watch outside,
1 returned to my sleeping-place and
dressed in the best garments that bab-
yam kraals could furnish. But when 1
looked at the reflection of my face Twas
Mortified. 1t was covered with scratches
inflicted by the nails of Hendrika-
doctored them up as best l could, then
went out for walk to calm my nerves,
which, what between the events of the
past night and of those pending that
day, were not little disturbed.
When / returned it was breakfast
time. went into the dining hut, and
there Stella was waiting to greet me,
dressed in simple white and with orange
flowers on her breast. She came for
ward to me shyly enough; then, seeing
the condition of my face, started back.
"Why, Allani What have you been
doing to YOURSELF" she asked.
As was about to answer her father
came in leaning on his stick, and catch
