He pays 50 week rant He belongs
to q few lodges, In order that should
he become slick he will have some
thing to depend upon and to take care
OF his wife and little children. This
leaves him fifty cents each for himself
and family. Three meals day would
not permit an outlay OF 215 cents for

clone of reduction OF wages reached the
Office, so no intends to move to Phlla-
delphia. Mr.. Worthington Is gentle-
man the people hate to SEQ leave New
Castle, but when things are getting SO
warm all around who can tell how
soon the reduction would strike the
Office. But wheIo is the use OF com.
