The Illinois Poverty Statistics.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Your correspondent Citizen of Illinois, ar
raigns my statement concerning the working
men of Illinois as SANDER" and saws my
statistics were evidently prepared by a 'calam-
ity howier for campaign purposes" Allow me
to reply that the ''slanderers' and calamity
howlers" in this case are the Illinois commis-
sioners of labor statistics. from whose last re-
port previous to 1888 the facts challenged BY
your correspondent are taken. The language
so much objected to is theirs, not mine, as will
be seen from the following passage taken from
Mr.. Henry Georges Social Problems p. 7s:
"Illinois is one OF the richest states of the
Union. Wages are considerably higher
there than in more eastern states. In their last
report the Illinois commissioners of labor sta
living are representative only of intelligent
workingmen, who make the most of tleir ad-
vantages. Nevertheless, they go on to
say, an examination of these tables will demon
strate that one-half of these intelligent work.
ingmen Of Illinois are not even able TO earn
enough for their daily bread and have to de-
pend upon the labor of women and children to
exc out their miserable existence"
The object of this quotation was not 70 de-
preciate illinois, On the contrary, selected
my statistics from three OF the most prosperous
of tie states of the Massachusetts.
Illinois and Penns ylvania-to show that even
in them there was much reason to fear that
''the rich are growing richer and the poor are
growing poorer" SO that the aggregate incre-
ment Of wealth is not necessarily a proof of
national prosperity. RANDOLPH H. MckIM.

OLD OCEAN THREATENS THE COT
TAGEs AT CAPE MAY.

The President Helps to Stay the Destruc-

Summer White House - Big Rush of
Mail Matter.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
CAPE MAY, July 1s.-A furious storm
has ragged all day, and caused the Presidential
party to remain indoors The contemplated
starting of Lieutenant and Mrs. Parker for
the South was postponed until Monday, and
the Grabbing party anticipated was not en-
joyed. Toward evening the sky cleared, but
the ocean in front of Cape May Point did
not cease to caper, and it kept on washing
out the sand in front of the town, causing
nearly every inhabitant to turn to the
beach. The tide washed up in front of Post
master General Wanamaker's and other cot
tages, and was in the act of scooping up the
front fences near Cape avenue, when, for the
preservation of the property, the citizens and
visitors, including the President, who were
watching the tide Just after 6 o'clock, took
hold of the fences, and landed them safely
on the sand.
Russell Harrison, who attended the
Clarkson banquet at New York last night,
arrived to-day and Mrs. Clarkson is ex-
pected. Senator Frank Hiscock will be
here next week.
The mail, which has been gradually in
creasing since the President arrived, took
big jump to-day, so much so that the Presi-
dent and Secretary Halfofd could not catch
up with it, They worked very hard and
were both somewhat tired tonight because
of the rush. Some improvements have
been made in the mail service between here
and Washington on account of Presidential
business, and the mails are now better reg
ulated
The only caller at the Presidents cottage
to-day was Captain ID. NJ. Ransdell, United
States Marshal for the District of Columbia,
who will go TO Europe next week.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPA PHI
YOUNGSTOWN, July 1S.--Fifteen lodges
in the Sixth district of the Amalgamated
Association held meeting here last night,
and though every effort was made to secure
secrecy, the deliberations have leaked out.
The meeting last Friday was attended by
delegates from a dozen different lodges, and
a session was held by Enterprise Lodge, at
attended by six or eight more, so that the
several meetings have been held by dele
gates authorized to act for nearly 40 lodges.

tee of five was appointed to meet him and
if possible have the Scale Conference Com
mittee called together and the clause ad-
vancing wages of helpers eliminated. If
the clause is not stricken out large disaf-
fection among the members of the Anal
gamated Association in this district will
follow Leading iron workers assert that at
no time have the members been as discon-
tented with the parent order as now. Vice
President McBvay, of this district, has de-
cided to accompany the committee to Pitts
burg the coming week and lay the matter
before President Weihe.

A Jubilee Week in Highland Park.

Pittsburg is to have a week of genuine
free jubilee and plantation music in High
land Park on a scale which has never been
attempted here before. The Duquesne
Traction Company, the only street car line
that runs within mile of Highland Park,
has engaged the Tennessee Jubilee
and Plantation Singers, of so members,
fully supported by string and wind instru-
ments, to give series of concerts every
night this week in Highland Park. The ad-
mission will be free, and the most popular
music of the day will be brought in reach of
residents anywhere in the city for fare of
a nickel. Plantation and banjo music is
now the fashion among society people, as it
has always been the delight of the masses,
and those who miss the ride to Highland
Park will be easy to count. It's full moon
this week, and the "Suwanee River" sung
by colored people on the bank of the arti-
fetal lake in the park will be worth
hearing

Through all this he still retains his
