A BOOK CREATES A RIOT.
MObs overrun Store to Get Hawthorne's Noted
Scarlet Letter."

MObs 0yerrun Store to Get Hawthorne's Noted
Scarlet Letter."
Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter" has
been the subject Of phenomenal COM
petition in Pittsburg for some time
past and many attribute it to the cru
SADIE upon disorderly houses. The
store windows are ablaze with scarlet
bound copies Of the book that two
months age sold at 81, then dropped
to so centsa to ca cents, and then to SO
cents.
Then everybody, began. cutting on
this particular book, and it was adver-
tised on each successive ds5by . diff
ferent house, at 20 cents, 10 cents, 10
csnts, s cents, and Friday at 2 cents.
The copies purchased At2 cents were
similar to those sold two months ago
at 81. The unemployment Of q cut to
a two-cent basis almost c8hsed riot.
Business was practically suspended in
the store where the offer was made be-
cause Of the crowds, and at 2 o'clock,
after 1000 copies had been sold, the
sale had to be stopped by the police,
who scattered the mob.

THE sUITAE's SLAVES POISONED.
-Four Beautiful Women Found Dead in the Imperial
Palace at Constantinople.

-Four Beautiful Women Found Dead in the Imperial
Palace at COnstantinople.
i Four beautiful female slaves, pre-
sented recently by the Khedive Of
Egypt to the Sultan of Turkey, were
found dead in the imperial palace at
Constantinople, having been poisoned.
Suspicion Of having caused their death
rests on another of the Sultan's slaves,
who, up to the arrival Of the four
women who were poisoned, was the
monarch's fayorite. 1t is supposed
she was jealous of the Others. Three
male attendants who had access to the
departments Of the murdered women
have been arrested on suspicion of be-
ing, the persons who actually admins
tered the poison. They are being tor
tured in order to compel them to make
a full confession.

WHAT HE WOULD LIKE.

In answer to his wife's question what
he would like to have for Christmas, a
sarcastic Boston man replied: "Well,
I think / should like cheap fountain
pen, one Of the kind that won't work
more than two weeks. Then a sofa
pillow stuffed with hair that sticks out
through an extra thin covering. A
pair Of understood gloves and pair
of diversified slippers would please me,

get me pipe that won't draw it would
make the day seem really like an old
fashioned Christmas"

A SOCIOLOGICAL VIEW.

0fths Tendency and Final Results Of the Present
Ruling Fococs in Society.
Few writers have put the marked
tendency Of the present ruling forces
in society into so few sentences and
with such clearness Of ttatementas has
been done by the Sociological Ne'cs in
tho following paragraphs:
Capital ii the midst Of ever in
creasing wealth refuses to allow labor
to share in the wealth produced. It
controls wages and keeps them down
to the mere subsistence point. Labor
resists; it strikes for higher wages; it
is locked out, and non-union or com.
petitive labor is employed in its place.
This is the turn Of the thumb-screw Of
torture for labor; it is work at the
wages offered or starye.
Labor, knowing that its life depends
upon organization, attacks as its dead
ly foe non-union labor; then capital
calls to ifs aid the military powers Of
state and nation, and labor is coercad
and rendered powerless. Peace under
such circumstances is doiusivc, II is tile
peace Of prostration of subjugation-
it is the peace enforced BY bayonets.
IF capital succeeds in breaking up
labor organization and enslaying the
workers, the decline and fall Of the
Republic is certain. An overpower-
ing monopolistic civilization, doomed
to perish through its own weakness
and corruption, viii be the next stage
in the growth Of society.
If, however, the people are sufficient
ly strong to resist the aggressiveness
Of capital, interlocked and intertwined
as it is with all the powers Of church
and state; if, through political meth
DDS and the introduction Of industrial
cooperation, an entire change i'm the
industrial system is effected, and
wealth becomes equally distributed,
then the future prosperity Of the ma
ton is assured. The turmoil Of war
viii cease, and peace and prosperity
will be the common heritage Of all the
people.
