recent elections have proved that the
Democrats cannot carry any of the

influence Is disappearing IN Kansas,

doubtful on national issues. Ohio IS
wholly Republican. The Democrats

American Wages Double.

Il is not often that we come across a
precise and definite statement by a
prominent British manufacturer as to
the wages raid in his mills. English
mill owners give such information re-
luctantly, and 1t is frequently SO tangled
up in statistics as to be misleading.
Therefore the figures offered IN evidence
before the ROYAL Commission on Labor,
last month, by +. p. Arnold Fors-
ter of Bradford, England. are of unusu-
al interest. Arnold Forster belongs
to one of the leading firms of that
place. and no doubt he presents the
best case possible for his factory In
his testimony Oh The s4biect of wages
paid TO his workers, he said that his
"weavers earned during the last eleven
months an average wage of lis. I'd. a
week. Women and men were paid at
the same rate
The Bradford weavers, averaging, ac-
cording to Arnold forsters evil
dence, about $500 week, are certainly
not earning one-half of the average
wage in American wooden mills. This is
the difference, IN one OF the most i'm
portant branches OF industry, between
English free trade and American pro-

her effeminate appearance, and the fact
that her hands blistered and caused her

ter of a neighbor in Italy. The news soon
spread among the other men, and they
crowded round her chatting Italian like
lot of magpIes.
The foreman was attracted by the excite
ment, aud thinking fight was in progress
made his way through the crowd with the
intention of separating the belllgerents
Instead of finding two men fighting, be dis

toned her about being In such strange garb.
she replied that she did 1T for her parents
sake. She said she came here year ago to
earn enough money to bring them to this
country as they are old and feeble and de-
pendent upon her for support When she
landed she secured work with family in
New York, but the pay was so small she be-
came discouraged and determined to dress
as a man, hoping that she would escape dis

| to paw their passage to this country. She
said she had about enough now saved up,

but she was told to work away, and this she
has been doing. She is known as Nc. H.

DANvILLE, KY, July 1.-THE section in

There never have been so many bee trees in

Two or three swarms. coming from diff

crack in one end of it let them in between
the ceiling of the lower and the floor of the
second story. Here they became so trouble
some that an effort to dislodge them was
made, but failed. The crack in the wall
was cemented, and they crawled out into
the rooms wherever there was a crack or
space around the windows and doors. The
dining-room was abandoned by the family
and given up TO the new guests, but as they
could not get back to the swarm they
persisted by the bucketful
Yesterday a swarm alighted on a Pc

from being smothered or stung to death.
