where he is to embark for Melbourne.
was notable for a series of exciting
scenes. Frantic rushes were made for
the train wherever it stopped. The
windows in Deeming's carriage were
broken, and great efforts were made by
the people to lynch him. The women
were especially violent. During the
journey the prisoner had several fainting
fits. Returning consciousness was
marked by violent struggles, which re-
qulred men to hold him. He became
moro quiet toward the end of the journey
and was transferred 10 the Jail quietly,

ABSOLUTELY PURE

penditure of wealth in ostentatlon Is a
crime-not only morally and officially,
but also economically. No one will
deny its criminality regarded from a
standpoint of ethics or morals, and the
time will come when it will not be de-
MED regarded from a standpoint of eco
nomics. The mad rush for wealth and
power, the robbery of the ~toilers. is the
same in every age and country, and Is
surely as criminal now as it ever was
under the despotic rulers of the past. 1t
has no object beyond the poor one of
lifting higher wealth and degrading
still further poverty.
If the s~qandering of wealth in osten-
tatious luxury is not an economic crime,
why would it not be well to encourage
extravaganza, rioting, games of chance
and inaugurate the s~pendthrift's para
disc? 1t seems beyond question to me
that as much rs we want civilization,
elegant surroundings and luxurious en-
vironment, with a higher standard of
living, we 10 not want these unless the
poorest of humanity car move forward
in the great march, at least proportion
ntely, with the rest of the worlds army.
In closing wish to call attention to
one statement of Mr.. Merriam. He a
THE middle class today is better housed,
clothed and fed and has more comforts
and luxuries than royalty had 800 years
ago." This is true. But, aside from
the questions of liberty and freedom,
the contrast between the very poor and
the very wealthy is far greater now than
it was 300 years ago, and there is abso-
lutely no comparison between the eco
nomic conditions now and 800 years ago.
This home, food. necessities and even
comforts of the serf of 500 years ago in
England were, in some respects, even
better than the Accommodations" of
the slaves and toilers of today. Will
any one contend for a single moment
that ever royalty itself could secure
Injuries that are possessed by our
wealthy gamblers and railroad robbers
of the present agep If we compare the
relative conditions of the poor then and
now, it seems that further argument
should be unnecessary.

In an address before a labor meeting
recently held in Lowell, Mass, bon. F.
L. Greenhalge said, among other things:
Certainly progress has been made on
the labor question within a few years
past. Organization has been a Sword
and a shield in this advance. 1t has i'm
paired some ancient maxims of political
economy.
When labor troubles have arisen the
comfortable man has murmured. The
law Of demand and supply will settle it.
But that law is limited by other laws; it
is the comfortable theory of comfortable
men, but it will not always work.
When the dock laborers of London de-
manded more pay a hundred men clam
ored for one mans job and the wages
ought to have gone down. But they did
not; they went up.
There were three great factors in the
case. One was the Protestant primate
of all England, another the sainted Car
dinal Manning of the Roman Catholic
church, and a third a bishop of the souls
and bodies of workingmen, John Burns.
Then another case arose nearer home,
in Fall River. When print cloths went
down so low that there was no profit in
them, there was a movement to reduce
wages. But there is a spinners' associa-
ton. And speaking in a friendly and
respectful way, it said; "Wait; things
may look better by and by"
They waited. Things do look better;
cotton is only rs cents per pound; eight
pounds makes forty-five yards of cloth;
the price now is 3 1-16 cents per yard;
that is Sl.3S for forty-ive yards. The
cotton costs 81 cents; this leaves n cents
for profit and wages, or some 20 cents
more of margin than a few months ago,

always be relied upon to provoke general
discussion is that which can best be de-
nominated as queer" or ''out OF the or
binary"
The Parsee community in Bombay. In
dia, is just now in n state of intense excite
ment caused by the death of two of their
young aides known as Bal Bachoobai and
Bal Pirozbai, whose bodies were found at
the foot Of the tall Rajabai tower in Bonn
bay. From certain facts already developed it
has been shown that the women didnot fall
together, and the theory of suicide is thus
greatly weakened, while the probability of
murder is correspondingly increased. One
man was arrested charged with having
pushed the women over the edge of the
tower, but the prosecution did not succeed
even in establishing the fact that a crime
had been committed and the prisoner was
discharged after having been examined.
The Parsee community of Bombay is de-
termined that the mystery shall be unrav-
eled, and a reward of 90, 900 rupees has
been offered for violence which will salts
factorily account for the death of the two
young women.

titled to the distinction of being considered
odd or queer, Is the one for which John e.

age. While an undergraduate at Oxford
he was married under circumstances so
highly favored with romance that he was
the talk of the university for a long time,
although this episode did not prevent him
from taking second honors. Borlas is a
fine musician and n poet of considerable
merit. He has published several works
which a been received with consider
able favor in England. He once wrote a
series of papers OIL the Paris Salon, which
were pronounced by the London Times the
best specimens Of art criticism ever brought
to the attention Of that paper. Borlas is
not believed to be permanently insane, his
