pUN.s BUSINESS REvIEw.

Pay Rolls for Novembsr Show In
crease Of Earnings of Is Per Cent
New YORK, Dec 15--R. G. Dun &
Co s weekly review of trade says.
Dun's review is enabled, by the
kindness of several thousand manu-
facturers who have forwarded state
ments Of their pay rolls of November,
this year. in 1898 and in 1892, to make
a very encouraging comparison Of
earnings for that month, which
shows an increase in total payments
of 1872 per cent over last year, but a
decrease of IS. 3 per cent in compar-
isOn with 1892. A statement Of hands
employed shows that in the same es-
adjustments 1912 per cent more per
sons were employed than a year ago,
but g. per cent less than 1892 The
average of earnings for over $50, 900
hands i 4 per cent larger than
in 1898, but 13.5 per cent
less than in 1892, and this
statement takes no account of
hours of work in the months COM
pared, or of the establishments now
working at all this year IN some of
the industries more hands are at work
than in 1892, but in others the de-
crease is large. Contradictory changes
in business are quite in order at tn is
season Neither the larger orders in
some branches nor the depression of
ton Of the general movement. But
the working force does not lessen
more than usual for the time of
year and the demand for goods does
not seem to diminish, though IN some
departments it is considerably below
the capacity of works in operation
and the volume of business transac tie d
is little larger in comparison with
last year than in November.
The speculative markets have ad-
vanced little, through reasons hard

Mystery OF his Life.

His Sex and Double Greatly Thlcksns the
Mystery of His Life.
KANSAS CITY, No, Dec. 15.-There
were two remarkable incidents in
connection with the FralSer case yes
terday. One was the arrest on sus-
picion Of VIII Stuckle, alias r E
Kehl a witness for the insurance
companies whom they were unable to
find, which reason they gave as
grounds for a continuance, and the
discovery that he had been in the
city for eight days, stopping at the Mid
land hotel with the attorneys for the
insurance companies The other was
the positive statements of Mrs Alex
Russell Of Oklahoma and Dr. Harry
H. Sullivan. that the Rev. Charles y
Mason of College Springs, Iowa, is the
missing DR.. George w Fraker. The
statements were made after being all
lowed an opportunity of seeing the
gentleman and studying his features
carefully
Another sensation was the testi-
monv of DR.. King of Excelsior
Springs. He said that Fraker was
neither man nor woman hut freak
of nature. This was backed by the
testimony of DR.. Sullivan OF Excel
sior Sprl ngs.
So far both sides have introduced
positive testimony as regards Fra ker' 5
sex The plaintiff has introduced
testimony showing that Dr. Fraker's
income was large enough to maintain
the life insurance policies, amounting
to $50. OoO. taken out shortly before
his disappears nee
The defense, on the other hand,
has many witnesses who testify that
Fraker's income was small The
average amount was about 81, 500
This would not maintain SOS, 600 in
life insurance. and the defense at
tempts to create the feeling that the
policies were taken out with the in
tent to defraud the insurance com
panies
