Mr.. Gladstone and the Sweeper.

A well-known London minister, who
got crushed in the crowd at the open.
ing of st. Martins Free Library by Mr..
Gladstone, tells an anecdote of the ex-
premier's kindness of heart, ON the au-
thority of former vicar, when chan
celor of the exchequer Mr.. Gladstone
regularly attended this church A
crossing sweeper in the parish who had
been some time i'll, when asked by the
vicar if anybody had been to see him,
said: "Yes, sir, Mr.. Gladstone. Which
Mr.. Gladstone?" he was asked. "Why,"
was the answer, "Mr. Glads stone him
self. He often speaks to me and gives
me something at my crossing. Not see
ing me, he asked my mate, who was
keeping it for me, why was not there.
He told him i was i'll, and then he asked

An interesting investigation into
the cost Of labor and materials in manu-"
factured products has just been com.
pleted by the bureau of labor statistics
Of Massachusetts II completely re-
flutes the doctrine Of the McKinleyites
that the cost Of labor is the chief item
in the cost Of manufactured goods and
that the tariff Is levied solely to equal.
ize labor cost here and abroad. This
report shows that the cost of lab bor
represents only 20 per cent of the cost
Of the product while tse cost OF the
protected materials is 6s per cent, or
over twice as much. The average rate
of duty under the Mckinley tariff is 80
per cent and Is largely added to the
price Of the goods made. Tariff re.
formers aim to decrease the cost of m a.
terials by making them free, thus not
only increasing the wage Of labor, but
decreasing at the same time the total
cost OF production. Worsmen will
thereby be benefited in two ways, by
getting moro money for their work and
more goods for their money, 1t Is for
the workmcn TO decide which they
want,

DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

In the East side quarrel over the

critics of John W. Eastman and Charles

John Peterson, an old man with no
friends or visible means of support, was
brought in from the city hospital and
examined as to his sanity. The poor
fellow has son-in-law living near the
gas house, but he apparently has no use
for him. His dementia was caused by
family trouble, and he was sent to
Rochester.
Rena Olson, who has been living with
Mrs. Helen johnson at 81 TWenty-fifth
avenue south, was brought to the pro-
bate court and finally sent to Rochester.
She is well on in years and suffering
from acute melancholia. She thinks
that her services are not appreciated
and suffers mentally in consequence.

TRADES AND LABOR.

The trades and labor assembly held
It's regular meeting at Labor hall Fri
day evening, large number of dele
gates being present. A special COM
mittee which visited Minneapolis made
a recommendation for special confer
ence board to be appointed to take
charge of all matters of interest to labor
unions in both cities. The following
were named as the committee: Mall,
Kelly, o. johnson and G. j. Cassels.
The clerks had grievance which
they desired set right. 1t appears that
some of the employers had been harshly
criticising the clerks efforts in behalf of
early closing. a circular has been is
sued in consequence making another
appeal to the public, and letter will
be sent to the Chicago trades assembly
with view to bringing pressure to bear
on several firms having branch stores in
both cities.

made: Printers, fair; cigarraakers, fair;

ALL SORTS.

Several of the four-year aldermen are
already preparing to take advantage OF
cheap rates to the worlds fair in 1898,
to go to Chicago and study the garbage
question.
Some orthodox churchmen are quar-
reling IN the courts over the possession
of the keys of a church. They should
not be blamed. They are only following
the example of their pastors, who, for
years have been diSputing over the
keys to heaven.
Friday night the city council, without
apparent reason, turned squarely the
other way on the garbage question.
Aldermen are fallible; so are mules.
Is President johnson, of the uni
Yersity senior class, son of E. M. John
son? If not, there is something in a
name after all.
Minneapolis social circles will be quiet
this summer in hotel and church circles,

she is eXquisltely attired. Gloves fit
her so perfectly that you may almost
convince yourself that her plump little
hand is lying bare within yours as you
shake hands with her. Her costumes
are always bit eccentric, but artistic
withal. For instance, here you see
her arrayed in a charming cloth cos
tune in pale blue, cape garnitured with
ivory-white feather trimming, very soft
and full, laced in front over a silk vest
of the same hue; hair exquisitely
dressed-ligbt, fluffy, luminous-fram-

likes her manners. You can't help it,
she's such radiant creature. Her

business men from the leather district,
the dry goods district and the tin-plate

up town and meet some lady friend at a

Besides, at puncheon there must
necessarily be a bowl of punch; and the

He is never in earnest except when he
has sandwich in his hand, or when he
is tying his four -in-hand scarf. He

would be complete without the male
f1irt. Women like him just as they ac-
cept machine-made lace when they
can't get the real thing.

A great religious service that recently
took place in Calcutta is thus described;
Two hundred thousand persons took
part in the service. RajahS zemindars,
merchants, shopkeepers, pleaders, pro-

present, and the Hindoo ladies tasted.
Three hundred Brahmins conducted
the services, chanting the Vedas. Ten
thousand homas were performed for
the protection of religion, thousands
sang the hymns, and shouts and horrible
sounds rent the air, the people seeming
mad. Many of them swooned, and one

LOVES SILENCE.

OF all the words that bear their part
In all the deeds of day to day,
One word is chiefly in my heart,
One little word l must not say.
The hills of truth are strait and steep.
They have smart in every stone.
And climbing them needs must weep
To think that love must die unknown.
Night follows day-day chases night,
And brings lesson strange to teach,
That love is lifeless in the light
And silence is the fullest speech.
