yesterday afternoon and made II re-
quest that we would ask all the readers
OF the REPUBLICAN to save all the Old
postage stamps that came into their
way and send them TO the ltErunLIcAN
Office so that he could get them when
be called for them. In explanation,
he said the stamps were for an invalid
lady who had been confined to her
room for some fifteen years to enable
her to pay of physicians Till, She
Belonged to what was known as "Ihe
Shut in Society,"" an association com
posed OF invalids who cannot go out,
unless taken out aud they have turned
everything to advantage that will
bring them employment and an honest
penny. This Is where the use OF used
postage stamps comes in ut. Any
postage stamps sent to this office will
bp handed over to the gentleman re
ferred to for the purpose named. .."

About $50 o'clock on Wednesday
morning burglars were discovered in
the residence of John A. Marvel, No.
Dol East Fourth street. Mr.. and Mrs.
Marvel have little dog that they per-
nit to sleep in the room with them.
At that hour the sharp barking OF the
dog awakened Mr.. and Mrs. Marvel
out of their sleep in time to hear foot
steps going down the stairway. Mr..
Marvel got up and looked out, but
saw nothing, and concluding that it
was a boarder they had living with
them, who always had to go to work
ct 4 O'clock in the morning, he went
back 20 bed. In the morning about q
O'clock, when they came down stairs,
they were surprised to find the gas
lights burning in the kitchen, dining
room and parlors, the inside doors all
open and the kitchen door and window
and outside gate open. Upon the re
frigerator lay a pile of silverwart
ready to carry away. 1t is suppose
the dog was the cause of the flight Of
the burglars without their booty
Nothing whatever was missed iron
the house. ....

There are serious charges made
against Joseph Graham, a well-known
Z 54fOcnr, at No. 1906 Market street. He
y charged with entieing little girls
.3IltU| his store and then outraging
IGcm. Graham Is widower, about 90
years OF nile, and people in the vicinity
<4y TINT these outrages have been
going ON for at least two years and
That his victims are numbered by the
eeufce. This parents, when they ascer-
1eiHed the facts, would not resort to
the law, on account of tho publicity
that would ensue, and consequently
ha escaped punishment although
Threatened by more than one angry
fathef
The last case, however, was one OF
The worst, and the crime was pcrpe-
tfated on girl only IL years of age.
1t seems that he decoyed her into his
store by presents of candy and other
ARTICLES. and finally to accomplish his
Purpose, mutilated her with a PEN
knife. This occurred about one week
ago. and was not discovered by the
parents until Wednesday, when the
child, who seemed very i'll, was taken
t0 the family physician and the terri
tlc facts were revealed. The parents
s had also received several anonymous
letters M reference to the matter, and
fhcee no doubt caused them TO make
the Investigation. As soon as these
facts were made known TO the littlo
Victims relatives some of them waited
upon Graham at his store and stormy
{nteryiew ensued.
They threatened to give him the op-
Z portunity TO explain the matter before
s Judge Ball, but il seems that he was
not anxious to do this. us he left on
Thursday and his whereabouts are UNI
Known. Graham was prominent
member OF the NJ. t. Church, and for
years has made himself conspicuous
3 In revival services at the different
churches. These revelations of his
true character are a surprise to his
friends, and show that for years he
has been living double life. Some OF
the people OF Brandywine are very
3 Indignant about his action, and ii he
should return it is probable he would
meet with rough usage.

wages in the United states ID 1900.


The condition Of the American wages
class nearly century ago is full of in
struction. In the large cities I'M
skilled workmen were hired by the
day, bought their own food and found
theirsown lodgings. But in the coun-
try on the farms, or wherever hand
was employed on some public work,
they were fed aud lodged by the EN-.
ployer and given a few dollars a
month. On the Pennsylvania canals
the dlggers ate the coarsest dict, were
housed in the rudest sheds and paid
90 q month from May to November,
and IS month from November to
May. Hold carriers and mortar mixers,
diggers and choppers, who from l798
to 1900 labored on the public buildings
and cut the streets and avenues of
Washington, received 80 q year, or IL
they wished, $50 for all the work they
could perform from March to De-
cember 20.
The hours of work were Invariably
from sunrise to sunset. Wages at
Albany and New York were 49,, or, as
money then went, 40 cents q day; at
Lancaster, IS to $40 month; else
where in Pennsylvania worllinen were
content with 80 in summer and S5 in
winter. At Baltimore, men were glad
to be hired at 1Sd. u day. None by the
month asked more than SO. At Fred
ericksburg the price for Labor was
from IS to 81, In Virginia white men
employed by the year were given 10
pounds currency; slaves, when hired,
were clothed and their masters paid
pound a month. A pound Virginia
money, WAS, in Federal money, 1888.
The average rate of wages all over the
country was s65 year, with food and
perhaps lodging. Out of this small
sum the workmen had, with his wife's
help, to maintain his family.
