THE PRICE OF A LEMON.

A woman with basket on her arm
passed through one of our fashionable
dry goods stores the other day intent on
making some small purchases. She was
very boorly dressed, and with such Sc
we're disdain Of all the fashions, that her
costume almost borrowed the distinction
of an ascetic garb. Indeed, IL resembled
horse blanket made into gown.
An elegantly dressed lady sat by a
counter making her purchases OF unnec-
essitous things. The other woman saw
her, but did not obtrude her recognition;
she waited. Then the lady turned a
cold, ishy eye upon her and said slow
ly, in a tone ofinterrogGtion:
"Well Jane?"

shadowy smile. ats changed and thin

"You haven't lefth him yet, Jane|'
"No, ma'am, can't do that"
"And he doesn't do any work?'

'Pm sorry, Jane. Yau should have

voice that indicated that her time was
up: then, as an afterthought, Jane,
are you very poor?"
$50 poor, ma'am, that all through his
sickness | couldn't spare the money 70

What did the other women do at this
revelation? Offer word Of sympathy
or bit of real help from her well-hlled
purse? No. She looked aggressiveiy
distressed as she remarked:
There must be something wrong
where there is such poverty"
"That's what | think ma'am," said
poor Jane with unconscious sarcasm;

Then she resumed her dismal march

SAN ANTONIO, Ten, June 2S.-It is now
stated that the reported execution of the
celebrated Teresa Urra, the Saint Of So

The Democratic tariff plank denonh
es Republican protection as a fraud--a
robbery Of the great majority Of the
American people for the benefit Of the
few"
The stock argument Of the high
protectionist in these latter days
is that high tariff is need
ed to protect" the wages of
American labor and to make good the
difference between the compensation Of
labor in this country and in the densely
populated and worn-outc countries Of the
old world. This view Of protection is OF
recent origin, for HENRY CLAY and the
early school of protectiOnists defended
high tariff taxation as ayowedly bOun-
ty to the manufacturer The question
Of wages was not taken into considera-
ton in their frank and truthful state
ment OF the theory. The wOrkingman
is not taken into consideration by Nc
Kinleyism, although, to secure the vote
of labor, the Harrisonites pretend that it
is all for the benefit Of those who work
for wages.
These pretensions received a crush
ing blow from the Massachusetts, Bu-
reau Of Labor Statistics, which issued
report on met profits in manufacturing
industries" that should be placed in the
hands Of every intelligent student OF
tariff taxation. Out Of the 500 pages Of
industrial information it embraces, one
brief table shows just what percentage
Of the cost Of production goes TO labor,
The report covers returns from over
10, 600 manufacturing establishments in
Massachusetts, making seventy per
cent. Of the entire products Of the State.
According to this statement, how
much Of the total cost Of producing 500
worth Of goods goes to labor? The
table gives the following average for
all industries as to the items Of the cost
of production:

Efforts to Get Absentees Into the House.
The Committee on Rules.
WASHINGTON, June est was made
apparent to-day in the House that the
Committee on Rules is at the helm and
will direct the legislative craft until the
end of the session. This is to be done
by special order, assigning days to va
rious committees for the consideration
of bills reported by them. These orders
are subject to interruption by confer
ence reports and to give them effect the
presence of voting quorum will con-
stantly be necessary, but in spite OF the
urgent appeals Of the managers to alb
sentees this has not yet been secured,
but it is expected that success will
crown the effort in day or two.
The Rules Committee to-day bestowed
all of the time remaining this week
among committees. The House sane
toned the arrangement and Immediately
embarked upon the first OF the special
orders, which was the consideration Of
pension business. Several general pen
sion bills were passed, and after looking
up the conferees on the army appropria-
tion bill in their refusal to yield to the
Senate point at issue relative TO the
Union Pacific Railroad Company's trans
portation pay, the House adjourned

members that the Tin Plate bill would
be called up tomorrow.

Trouble In Berlnc Sea.

SAN Francisco, June 2s.-According to
advices received from Ounalaska things
are going to be lively in the Boring Sea

the war ship Mohican has fired upon a run

number Of poachers will defy the fleet and

seizure and Imprisonment. The migrating
herds are now near the passes into the

regard to consequences. He has been in

to dodge into Russian waters in case of

In the Isle of Man, as in Scotland,
much of the humor depends upon odd
turns of expression. "If aver l get to
heaven pass'n" (parson), said an old
parish clerk, It'll be under your patron
age" The notion here is funny enough,
giving a vivid glimpse of the future state
as depicted by a man who had seldom
been outside his own parish. Or the
humor may consist merely in the unex
pected use of some particular word.
A queer old character who had been
given n new muller and kept it carefully
wrapped up in paper instead of using it,
replied to all circumstances, "Tm not

Upon another occasion he remarked to a
visitor, who had been much benefited III

ALBERT DRAPER DEAD.
Sad Terminauon OF HIS Two Weeks
Illness.

Little Albert Draper died precisely at
noon yesterday at the residence Of his
parents in this city. The boy has been
alling somewhat since the first OF the year
but while confined more or less to the
house did not take to bed until two weeks
ago yesterday. While quito seriously
sick, he was not considered dangerously
80 at first. Throughout the boy main
tanned a most remarkable degree OF cour-
age. He was determined to get well and
fought death like a little hero. He was
suffering from a combination of heart and
lung trouble. On Saturday an operation
was performed to relieve him. Early
Sunday morning the doctor did not be-
lieve he could live through Sunday night.
but about 10 o o'clock be showed such re-
markable improvement as to give the
physician and the anxious watchers a raw
OF hope. Throughout the dag he showed
continued signs of improvement and telt
SO well that he wanted to get up. This
transitory improvement continued until 6
o'clock Yesterday morning, the boy sleep
ing fairly well throughout the night.
From that hour forward, however,
his decline was rapid, although
he never lost consciousness un-
til the moment of his death. To the
very last he maintained that he would re-
cover. His death was very peaceful and
those who we're at his bedside could
scarcely realize that the moment of disso
luton had come. as it was accompanied
by no perceptible struggle.
Genuine sympathy for Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. A. Draper is everywhere manifested.
During the two weeks of the boys Ill
ness Mrs. Draper never left the bedside
night or day and has borne up under the
fearful strain with the greatest heroism.
Mrs. Diapers mother, now 80 years OF
age, is lying dangerously sick with the
grip in her home in the East and fears
are entertained that she cannot recover
Albert Draper was born in this city
July IS. 1879. He was a boy of lovable
qualities and will be seriously missed by
his companions. The funeral will take
place from st Marks church at 2 O'Clock
tomorrow afternoon.

In the old church of Ara Celia, near
the top of the capitol steps, in the
city of Rome, is a little treasury room
where the sacred vestments are kept,
and where, in a wonderful little respos-
itory, lies a wooden doll called the sacred
bambino, representing the Holy Child
Jesus. So strong is the superstition with
regard to this child that in cases of ill
ness it is sent for and taken in great state
by some dignitary Of the church to the
bedsides of sufferers who believe in its
miraculous power to heal and bless. In
this old church, around the affairs, are
the offerings of those who claim to have
been healed of their infirmities by the
miraculous power of this wonderful
child.
Here are repetitiono in wax of MANNED
limbs; pictures of people rescued from
burning houses; of children who fell
from windows, receiving no harm; of
men drowning in swollen streams, saved
by the sight of this little child appearing
on the brink. Before the altar may
always be seen a kneeling throng, for the
hearts of a great many of the people have
opened and taken in a love for and a
faith in this wonderful little wooden doll.
At times there have been rumors of the
bambino having been stolen, or, because
of its displeasure at the sins of the peo-
pie, having withdrawn itself from sight.
