GETTING ALITTLE OF IT.
Report Show That Wages Have
Increased Some,
Wageworkers Thus Sharing in
Natural Increase of the Busi-
ness of the Country.

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. 2s.-Charles F.
Peck, commissioner of labor for New
York state, issued his annual report to-
night. The data upon which the report
has been made was for the year COM
mencing Sept. 1, 1889, up to and includ-
ing the 3lst of August, 1890, and the
year commencing Sept. l, 1890, up to
and including the 3lst of Au-
gust, 1891. From the tables it
appears that there was net increase of
wages of s6,377. $500 In the year 1891,
as compared with the amount paid in
1890, and net increase of production
of s31,315, 1909 in the year 1891 over
that of 1890.
A simple analysis of this table demon
strates the fact that of the sixty-seven
show an increase in either the
wages or product or both, and
that there were no less
than S9,717 instances of individual in
crease of wages during the same year.
While the industries" are but sixty
seven in number the total trades" rep
resented amount to 1,121, and give en-
ployment to 2S5,000 workingmen and
women. OF the siXty-Seven industries
included, 75 per cent show an increased
average in yearly earnings in the year
1891, while the total average increase of
yearly earnings of the 2S5.OO0 employees
was S23.l1. The average increase of
yearly earnings of the employees in the
seventv-one trades showing an increase
was S43.96 in 1891 as compared with 1880.
In addition to the investigation of
this special subject, the bureau has con-
tinued its annual investigation OF all
labor disturbances occurring in the
state during the past year. The total
number of strikes reported for the wear
1891 was AL. as against 6.2S0 occurring
In the year 1890. a decrease of 1.739. OF
the total number. 1875. or 53 per cent
OF them were in the building trades.

ADROIT SAID PASHA.

He Always Has Some Excuse for
Outrage on Christians in Tur-
key.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-CoIstanti-
nople dispatches stating that the burn
ing of the house of Rev. DR.. Bartlett,
the American missionary at BOrdeur, in
Asia Minor, for which prompt repara-
tion has been demanded by the United
States. has been traced TO the careless
ness of an American servant, are quite
at variance with reports made by the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions, and transmitted to the
state department, and are also contra
dicted by these dispatches received
from PendletOu King. the American
charge d'affaireS at Constantinople.
The experience of the American lega-
ton i'll Turkey in the cases of numerous
preceding OutrageS of like character
have been that the facts in each case
have been met by denials from Said
PaSha, the Turkish minister of justice.
sometimes in the face of the clearest
proof. and some plausible excuse. like
that objected to in the present instance,
probably assigned to explain away the
affair. Minister HirSch has more than
once put on record in his Offices dis
patches to the state department that.
though the grand viZier and the minister
of foreign affairs of Turkey were will
ing to do justice to American citizens
when wronged. Said Pasha, by misrep-
resenting the facts to the sultan, had
delayed redress.
The present 'explanatlon'' of the
Bartlett outrage is regarded as repeti-
tion of Said Pasha's adroit maneuvers
to defeat the ends of justice and to
shield Moslem offenders against the
rights of Christians. 1t is understood
that the explanation will not delay the
peremptory orders given to the gunboats
Newark and Remington to proceed
from Genoa to Turkish waters as SOON
as possible after the Columbus celebra-
ton on the 31st instant to support the
demand for reparatiOn.

LONDON'S GREAT DANGER.
More Stringent Quarantine Meth
DDS Urged.


DDS Urged.
LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Dr. Thorne, chief
of the sanitary division of the local gov
ernment board, says he has grave doubts
of the ability of the board to keep the
cholera out of London. He says the
great source of danger is in the East
end. 1t is impossible to watch and To-
cate lndigent immigrants, who naturally
gravitate toward the East end on arrival
i'll the country.
They do not know themselves where
they are going, and their addresses can
not be registered. They have no work
in prospect and no friends to receive
them, and they drift to the slums and
are lost sight of. They are, of course,
subjected to medical Inspection
at the port of arrival, but they
might pass this and yet be in
fected with cholera in the incubation
stage. which Would develop afterward.
Ordidary travellers can be watched for
as they have destinations in view and
can give their addresses.
At the instance of DIR. Thorne all the
leading medical officers under the gov
ernment met yesterday to discuss the
situation. 1t was resolved that more
stringent measures than now posi-
bic should be authorized. There
is growing feeling that Mr.. Gladstone
should convene the ministers and pass
an order on the ground of public ex-
pedlency, empowering officials to ab-
soluteiy exclude immigrants at their
discretion so long as the danger from
cholera exists.
The steamer Talavera arrived at
Grimsby from Hamburg today. Two
sailors, suffering from cholera symp-
toms, were removed to the floating hos
pital and the Talavera was towed to the
quarantine station.
The sickness aboard the Hamburg
bark Helena. which arrived off Dover
last night, proves to be number of
diarrh9al cases, but the patients are
recovering. The vessel was disinfected,
and was not allowed to communicate
with Dover.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Mayor Grant,
President Wilson, of the New York
board of health, Police Commissioner
Martin, Quarantine Commissioner Allen
and DR.. G. F. Roberts, chief in
spector of contagious diseases, paid a
visit to Health Officer Jenkins this aft
ernoon on the steam tug State of New
York. After holding conference, the
party visited the quarantine islands on
tour Of inspection. The steamships
Servia, from Liverpool. Lydian Mon
arch. from London, and Sorrento, from
Hamburg, arrived at this port today
and were subjected to rigid inspection.
No cholera nor suspicious cases were
found, and, after being thoroughly
fumlgated, the vessels were permitted
to dock.
Somewhat of a sensation was created
this evening by a report that cholera
had been discovered among emigrants
who arrived today. 1t was found upon
investigation Carl LentZ. an immigrant
accompanied by his wife and family,
had exhibited symptoms which made
the examining physicians for time
suspicious of cholera. After a careful
examination. however, Health Officer
Duffield decided that it was not the
dread disease, but as matter of pre-
caution Lentz was sent back across the
river to Windsor and placed in a deten-
ton hospital, where his case will be
more thoroughly diagnosed.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 20.-Health
Officer Duffield has issued an order that
no ambulance shall take away from the
railroad depots in this city any person
found suffering from cholera or diar-
rhGra. Although he does not appre-
hend any danger, DR.. Duffield has taken
these precautionary measures to guard
against the possible spread of the dread
disease should it be brought into Detroit
by immigrants who may come through
canada from the seaboard. He has
made arrangements with the railroads
for the proper care Of all such cases.
ANY person whose condition is at all
suspicious will be placed in car put
apart for use as temporary hos
pital, and then taken to some isolated
spot until all danger is past. All pas
sengers on trains arriving today from
the East, through Canada, were thor
oughiy examined by physicians.
Among the immigrants who arrived
Hollanders. They passed through New
York city, but had no health certificates
to show that they had been examined.
There seems to be laxity in the regu-
lations existing there that cannot be ac-
counted for, and which may result III
the terrible Asiatic scourge being let
into this country. Nothing on which
sthe foreigners could be detained was
found, and they were allowed to pro-
ceed on their journey to Chicago.

PANAMA. Aug. 2S.-Puerto Cabello
was captured by Crespoists on Aug.

troops have been sent out from La
Guayara to aid the garrison in recaptur-

BURIED IN A CHAIR.
Unique Idea of Wealthy Old
Iowa Farmer.

CENTERvILLE, To-, Aug. 2s.-Heze-
kiah Shepherd, an old man who lived at
Drakeville, has had his wishes carried
out by being buried in coffin in the
shape of chair. For the last fifteen
years Mr.. Shepherd had been unable to
rest except by sitting in an easy chair,
and in that position he proposed
to die. His friends endeavored
to dissuade him from his eccentric no.
ton. But he ordered a cabinetmaker
to construct the curious casket, which
was finished before his death. 1t was
substantially built of white oak. with
walnut trimmings. He left instructions
to have his body placed in this casket in
sitting posture, the wrists strapped
to the arms of the caSket.
the limbs to its legs and the
head and neck to the back. A glass
panel was placed in front to expose the
face of the dead man. All these in
structlons were carried out, and the
easket placed III huge box in an up
right position. The chair casket was
kept on exhibition in Mr.. Shepherds
room for six weeks previous to his
death, and he took especial satisfaction
in displaying it to his friends. He was
ninety years old, was a wealthy farmer,
and was loved and honored by all of
Davis county.
