The COTTON spinners' Strike

LONDON, Nov. S-She secretary Of
the Amalgamated Association of Cot
ton Spinners estimates that $1,000 per-
SONS have been rendered idle by the
combined strike and lockout in the
cotton spinning trade which began on
Saturday. Improved conditions, how
ever, make it probable that many mas
ter spinners will continue to run the
mills, and the number idle may be
reduced to 10000. If this proves cor
rect the strikers will probably win, as
they have ample funds, with the help
of those at work, to make long fight.

Prices Two Hundred Years Ago

The statistician of the department of
agriculture, says the New York Re-
corder, has found the account book of
Elisha Blackman, farmer of Lebanon,
Conn.,, and Wilkesbarre, Pa, from ITO
to 1912 inclusive, giving details of the
prices of farm products two centuries
ago. The accounts were kept in Con-
necticut and in Pennsylvania currency,
as in the earlier period there was no
United States money. The retail value
of maize averaged about so cents per
bushel, or twO-thirds the prevailing
rates now. Wheat was very fiuctu-
ating. The lowest values were go to 81
cents per bushel in the decade before
l7S9. The price went to $3.50 in 1914
and in 1917, owing to the general crop
failure of 1916, sold at So. In 1879 q
charge of $50 is made for the wages OF
Ichabod, a youth of II, for six months,
and in 1882 the services of Eleazer, a
son Is years old, for like period, were
valued at SIS. From 81 to SIS pei
month represented the usual compensa.
ton of well grown lads. In 1850 the
remuneration of such "chores" as cut
ting wood at the door one year and
foddering" was the moderate sum of S.
When the days work Is specified the
rate is equivalent to about so cents pei
day. The use of a pair of oxen a day
was usually % cents. In one instanc,
blowing two acres was booked at 81
cents, and in another, two men ant
two horses to pillow an acre were fur
nished for 81.

A Partisan Daniel.

During a discussion at a local cafe at
Vincennes between number of the
'bigwigs" of the place bet was made
between M. Maitre, councillor of the
district and a veterinary surgeon, and
M. Ango, a wholesale butcher, that the
latter would not enter the lions cage in
a menagerie then showing at Vincennes
in company with the lion tanner Lorange,
the proprietor Of the wild beasts The
sum at stake was twenty pounds. The
news Of the wager spread through the
little town, where NJ. Ango is well
known, and as a natural consequence
the show was packed with anxious sight
seers at the evening performance, when
the bet was to be lost or won.
Principally at Q o'clock the lion tanner
and NJ. Ango entered the cage, in which
which greeted their appearance had sub
sided the former advanced to the bars
and in polite speech informed the pub
lie that NJ. Ango had won his bet, hav-
ing accompanied him into the lions
cage. "But what about the lionsT
yelled the audience. "This is the lions
cage, and nothing was said about the
lions being in it" explained M. Lorange.
The public quickly saw the joke and
cheered NJ. Ango to the echo as he with
drew from the cage.
Curious to relate, M. Maitre fatty re-
fused to pay the money and is to be sued
for the amount, as it was understood
that the wager was to be spent on a
banquet to commemorate the fete of

their voices were not as youthful as in
1866 when they made the little chapel
re-echo with their songs. it was a treat
to hear them. Charles Il. Thompson
presided over the gathering, and
made few remarks apropos OF
the occasion. Joshua Williams gave
very entertaining historical sketch
of the church, since it was first organ
ice. 1t was his father who named the
church Westminster and had the fell
ty seeing it adopted and 90 down to
prosperity. Joshua Williams had prac-
tically grown up with the church, and
knowing everything connected with its
history, his discourse was doubly enter
tanning.
DR.. o. ii. Evans. who had joined the
church in 1866, delivered a short dis
course, in which he gave personal RENT
niscences and several anecdotes relating
to members of the church. The doctors
effort was warmly applauded. Among
the others who spoke were j. j. Ankeny
and ID. M. Gilmore. Mr.. AnKeny had
served the church for a period OF
twenty-one years as treasurer, and he
was introduced as the watch dog or
the treasury Mr.. Ankeny gave a
brief sketch of the advancement of the

years. 1t had grown like a tree, he SAID,

never die.

was general showering of congratula-

his opinion or rather the opinion Of his pre-
decessor, Seagraye Smith NOW Judge Smith,
with which opinion the present incumbent
fully concurred. In substance it was as fol-
lows:
''Al franchises granted by the people
hrougn their representatives, national,
state municipal (by which certain spee-
fed rights and privileges are granted TO indi-
Yiduals or corporations) take the form OF

tracts"

that, SO far as we have offered any criticisms,
we mean such to apply to the public servants

1t is stated by politicians that Mr.. Lowry
gave at one time as high as $4,000
to q campaign fund, and that in the
last state election he was able to and did die
tate the nomination of many candidates to
the Legislature. But to the last meeting OF
the committee on railroads and ordinances
he sent letter 10 the effect that he hoped
the matter might be adjusted outside the
sphere of politics. In justice to the street
railway magnate we will say that
perhaps he has done nu more to advance his
own interests than any other individual
would have done in like circumstances. 1t
is not the street railway company that we
should hold responsible for the maintenance
of our interests, but those whom we elect
and pay salary for that purpose.

PAST AND PRESENT.
They Are Brought Together il

They Are Brought Together in
the Westminster Church Vestry.
There were lot of happy people
gathered together in the vestry of
Westminster church last evening
nearly 500 of them-and the occasion
was the celebration of the thirty-frst
anniversary of the church. An old
fashioned supper was served at $50
and over which the venerable old ladies,
who had been members of the church
since its inception, presided. When
supper was over and everything had
been cleared away the exercises of the
evening began.
On the platform were seated eight
ladies. all of whom had Joined the
church when it was first organized.
They were the ones who remained Of
the congregation that worshiped in the
little building long since torn down.
The ladies were all plump and rosy
looking, and no doubt as ardent devo-
tees of the singing book as they were in
their younger days. The seats of honor
were occupied by Mesdames S. E. Olli-
yer, G. ii. Petit, Stowe, Morgan,
Bradford, /. II. Side, Chambers
and F. Chambers. In front of them
loaded down with roses, and placed
there as reminder of the past, was an
old organ, yellow, rickety affair.
scarcely large enoufn for modern ac-
cordeon. The keys of the old organ had
long been still; kept sacred from the
touch of frivolous and fashionable
hands for many year, for itonce served
as the instrument of music for ancient,
early-time Westminster. The sur
vivors of the choir that sang
behind that organ, four in
number. were present. They were
Joshua Williams, Hiram w. Wagner,
Miss Sophie Emmett and Miss Ella p.
Cooley. They sang several several Sc
lections during the evening, land, though
