ALDRICH AND PECK.
The Latter's Figures at Variance with Those of the AIdrich Committee.

The Latter's Figures at Variance with
 Those of the AIdrich Committee.
 The New York Tribune says, in speak ing of Peck's figures: "It happens that they agree so we'll with all that is known of the general condition of manufactur- ing, especially in states where foreign competition was most severely felt two years ago, that the public inclines strongly to accept the official state ments."
 "They agree so well with all that is known?' But were you not only short time ago trying to compel everybody to abide by the results of the Aldrich com mittee's report? That report tells tale far different from Peck's so called sta tistics. The best that Senator Aldrich could claim was that there had been an increase of 75-100 of per cent. in wages in the industries investigated by the committee, but Senator Carlisle showed that the only increase in wages was in fifteen unprotected industries, while in fifteen highly protected industries there was an actual reduction of S9-100 of 1 per cent. in wages. This result was shown from the figures presented to the senate by the Aldrich committee it. self, which were collected in seventy different cities, covered S76 separate quotations and were taken from the books of the manufacturers themselves and other employers of labor.
 Yet The Tribune is now anxious to throw this report aside and substitute for it the figures of MT. Peck, which were collected by letter and have no guaranty of their accuracy or honesty.
 Nor do Peck's figures "agree with all that is known" by the workingmen themselves. The vast number of cases of wage reduction during the past two years greatly overbalance the few cases where wages were raised. The organ of the American Protective Tariff league could discover after diligent search but twenty-eight cases of in. creased wages, and nearly all of these have subsequently, turned out to be bo gus. On the other hand, more than 5O( cases of wage reductions, strikes or lock outs have been reported since the Nc Kinley law went into operation.

A WESTERN coin dealer has recently obtained a very curious lot of copper coins from Sweden for the collection which he is making for the worlds fair. They were coined during the sixteenth century, when Sweden adopted a rule that it's circulating medium should be nothing but copper. The coins are great flat pieces roughly cut into squares The smallest is four inches square and worth thirty cents, and the largest over foot square and with a face value of four dollars Each slab is stamped in several places with an in scription giving it's date of issue and its denomination. The largest weighs over four pounds. When this coinage was in circulation ladies out shopping had to have servants in attendance to carry their purses.

Would Abolish His Harem.

It is said that if the sultan of Turkey were allowed to consult his own tastes he would only have one wife instead of the three hundred he now maintains in his harem. He does not dare to abolish the institution, for he knows that the day he saw the last of the royal harem would also see the last of his reign. Each occupant of the harem receives the title of princess. It is the ambition of every Turkish officer to get his daughter into it. She is given large dover, a staff of ten servants and a car riage and four. The maintenance of the harem costs the country about s15,- OOO,OO0 year. It is perfect nest of intrigue and scandal, of envy, hatred malice and all uncharitableness.

How They Grow.

The year of greatest growth in boys Is the 17th; in girls, the 14th. While girls reach full height in their 18th year they acquire full weight at the age of 20. Boys are stronger than girls from birth to the 11th year; then girls be- come superior physically to the 17th year, when the tables are again turned and remain so. From November to April children grow little and gain no weight; from April to July they gain in height, but lose in weight, and from July to November they increase greatly in weight, but not in height.

"I was told by my physician that I never could get well.
 ''I was also paralyz yzed on the right side from my hip down, and suffered severe ly with lumbago and trembling of the hands.
 "I took Dr Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy and feel entirely cured of all these troubles and feel like a we'll man.
 "I could not sleep on my right side for years, now can sleep we'll and eat any thing.
 "It has proved to be a wonderful rem edy for me and am a living witness to testify to the truth of my statement. It is the grandest medicine ever made, and all my friends are amazed at the cure."
 Postmaster Edward F. Larrabee and Wm Montgomery, master mechanic New Jersey Southern R. R., both of Manchester, NJ. have known MT Moves for 25 years, and are familiar with all the facts about his wonderful recovery. We can only say in commenting on this case, that it is truly marvellous what this remarkable remedy will do in curing disease. It certainly makss most astounding cures, and we do not won- der that, as druggists tell us, the de. mand for it.among the sick is enormous Its price is only $1, and it is purely veg, etable, harmless. Another thing which gives the peoble the greatest confidence in it is that it IS prepared by Dr Greene of 35 w. 14th Street, New York, who is an eminent specialist in nervous and chrome diseases. He can be consulted by all free of charge, personally or by letter.

To Fool the Fish,

An ingenious inventor has just SC cured a patent on an India rubber sub stitute for Q common red worm, such as is used by amateur fishermen for bait It has many merits that commend it to persons who do not enjoy digging bait when the sun is hot and the ground Is dry and hard. It is elastic, flexible and indestructible. A small box of them will last fisherman lifetime. Small fish get tired of nibbling at them and leave them for the large ones to take in their mouths. One great recommends tion of them is that girls, whose finer sensibilities are shocked at the sight of ''horrid, live wiggling worm," can put them on their hooks without suffering real or imaginary pain or inflicting any.
 It may be, however, that fish will after a time detect the fraud and refuse to touch these India rubber worms. The late Frank Buckland, fish inspector of England, had his attention called to the fact that certain kinds of fish in some streams and lakes could not be caught with artificial flies, while the same kinds of fish could be caught by means of them in other waters of Great Britain. His conclusion was that fish in lakes and streams that had for many years been visited by persons who used artificial bait had become "too know ing' to touch it, while those in waters only visited by persons who had natural bait could be deceived by imitation flies and bugs.

ACCORDING to medical authority yawning is by no means a useless act, for it often cures catarrh, and-other af- fections of the throat, in many cases giving instantaneous relief It pro duces a considerable distention of the muscles of the pharynx, constituting a kind of massage, and under this infiu- ence the cartilaginous portion of the custodian tube contracts, expelling in- to the pharnyx the mucosities there collected. According to NJ. Naegeli, yawning is much more efficacious for affections of the tube than the methods of Valsalva or Politzen, and is more rational than the insufiation of air, which is often difficult to perform prop. erly.

a very roseate hue this week, and there is corresponding feeling of depression among the republicans, who look with dismay upon the falling off of their ma jority in Maine and upon the unmis- takable signs of democratic harmony in New York state. The democratic rooster is truly. roasting high these September days, and when he opens his mouth in November his crow of victory will be heard by rejoicing people from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

THE New York Times makes a good point when it advises those afraid of the cholera to reflect upon the experience of the cabin passengers of the Normannia. Here were some five hundred persons, a number of them aged or very young or in i'll health, confined on shipboard for more than two weeks with sickness and death from cholera among the steerage passengers and crew. After their arrival here the sick and even the bodies of the dead were not removed for three days. They were not properly fed; the water supplied to them was in. sufficient and for a time of unsafe char acter. Then they were exposed for nearly three days to still greater hard ships, so that it would seem that every chance was against them. Not one oi them contracted the disease.

Charles Allen Perkins, who died in Syra- cuse recently, had been United States minister to Sweden and Portugal, but he was best known because he was the only American citizen who ever married person of royal blood His wife was Isabella Francoise Guromski, princess of the house of Bourbon, and niece of Queen Isabella, of Spain.

 Then, unarmed, he left the stockade alone with the prisoners and accom- panied the mob to the railway station. There he began a speech to the people and pleaded with them to respect the law. The miners listened in silence and were very quiet. They were evi- dently waiting for something to hap pen. There was a burly ruffian ap- preaching Col. Anderson from behind. When he reached within arms length of the soldier he showed the muzzle of a revolver against Col. Anderson's temple | and handed him a paper to sign order ing the garrison to surrender. The man who held the pistol was the notori- ous Bud Lindsay, who had already killed eight or ten men. Col. Anderson slowly turned, lifted his eyes to those of the outlaw and dropped them in con- tempt. "Shoot, you d-d coward!' he | said. ''Shoot!'
 The ruffian with the pistol and the treacherous rioters who had with false promises enticed the gallant soldier from his command were awed. The pistol fell, and no shot was fired.
 When Gen. Carnes had released Col. Anderson and succored the gallant soldiers of that brave officers command
 he set about restoring order in Coal Creek and the region whereabouts. He
 began by arresting all the rioters he could find. One of the first men arrested was Bud Lindsay, the ruffianly desperate who had held the pistol to Col. Anderson's head. Lindsay was the terror of the mining region, and his arrest had a most excellent effect. It
 was soon made manifest that these captured men would be treated as criminals, and not as prisoners of war.
 Then there was consternation among the miners, and great numbers of them tried to escape out of the state into
 Kentucky and West Virginia. A large i number of them seized an engine be-
 longing to the East Tennessee, Virginia
 & Georgia railroad and used it as a
 means to get out of Tennessee. After
 a week of turmoil and open rebellion in
 the businesses of the Tennessee noun tainS law and order was restored.

Extra Billy's watch, though it has run for at least sixty-two years. still keeps good time

The Republican orators are again pointing to the "protective tariff under Washington" as a justification of Nc Kinleyism. The Washington-J Jefferson tariffs ranged from s11s to 15 per cent. and contained but 200 or 300 articles. The Mckinley tariff, with ''infant in- dustries" hundred years old, averages nearly 50 per cent. and covers more than a thousand articles. The one was made to protect, the other to monopolize.

AT the first alarm of the Asiatic pesti- lence in London, the health board took the wise precaution of erecting fur mace for burning the bedding and clothing of cholera patients. If such clothing and bedding were in all cases burned immediately after the death or recovery of the stricken person the dis ease could not spread so rapidly.

It's just about time he did. The boy who is in one of our handsome s suits when school opens will be somewhere near the head of his class when school closes. You cannot improve on tfese suits anywhere in America for either style, durability or price. They'll come pretty near lasting until your boy out grows them, no matter how hard he may be on clothes. They cost no more than suits which, in a week, will go to pieces in the play ground, and they won't look un presentable when finally discarded. In other words, they are built to stand the racket and it doesn't make much differ ence how rough the racket is. Just as durable, well designed and inexpensive are our suits at S1. 50, $2, $4, $5, $6. A large stock of children 8 fall suits just re ceived. Children's pants at 25c, 35c, 50c, 75c, $1.
