DON'T SAVE THEIR PENNIES,
Wages Higher, Foods Cheaper, Now, but
People Arc Poorer,

wages Higher, Foods Cheaper, Now, but
People Arc Poorer,
From the Engineer.
Although the cost Of living has been ma
terially reduced in most articles Of necess-
ity, and wages are much higher than they
were thirty years ago. the majority Of the
people are little better Off financially. The
reason Is to be found in the higher scale
OF living which has to be met TO retain any
social position. Thirty years ago men in
moderate circumstances thought them
selves well Off with living rooms furnished
plainly and simply, the chambers with
cottages (enameled) bedstead and chairs
and plain linen and plated silver through
out.
This Is all changed, and the living
rooms must copy as closely as possible
the appurtenances and belongings Of
wealthy families. There IL no cottage fur
Ature for sale. and where rag carpets
were formerly thought good enough for
ordinary use there are Brussels carpets,
limitations Of imported rugs. and all sorts
Of useless brlc-a-brac that runs away
with many q hard-earned dollar, All
classes consume and enjoy a great deal
more than they formerly did, and every
body, rich. moderately circumstanced or
poor. wants more than he formerly did.
All classes travel more frequently and
longer distances than they were formerly
accustomed to. They have more food,
more clothes. more finery. more books
and papers than their fathers had, but
they do not save as much as they did.

THOMAS WINDER'S CASE.
Tho COiored Exprcssmau Is Arraigned
Before tho Mayor.

Before the Mayor.
Thomas Winder, a colored express
man, was arraigned before the mayor
Yesterday to answer to a charge Of as
sault and battery on another young
colored man named John Welcome. All
the parties concerned reside In the col
ored settlement on Metcalf street. and
the testimony was decidedly amusing.
The prosecutor swore that on Wefnes-
day last Winder came into his yard for
n nail of water and was told that he
could not have any because he refused
to loan various articles to the Welcome
family, John Welcome stood at the
hydrant to prevent Winder from get
ting the water and the latter slugged
him In the mouth. cutting his lip. Mrs.
Welcome. Johns mother, and her sister
ran out to prevent the fight ana Winder
hit the latter an upper cut In the lert
Jaw. knocking her completely out. Then
ne wert out of the yard and was SUD-
saquently arrested.
The testimony was funny. Winder
interrupted Welcome constantly. ana
asked where some chain was that he
had loaned Welcome. The latter asked
winder what had become Of his 'trace
cse'ms." Winder. in turn, asked Wei
come what he had done with a shovel
ha had borrowed from him. and was
m5t with request Of Information as
to the whereabouts Of q certain monkey
wrench. 1t w2s shown that there had
been lots of borrowing from each other
and each denied that the other ever re
'turned any borrowed articles. Mra
Welcome testified and paralyzed the
mayor with flood of eloQuence about
the scrap.
Winder said he had "smacked" the
old woman and "pasted" the young
man. but said he did it in self-defense.
The mayor thought otherwise. however.
and tinsd him S. and the costs. and held
him IN $500 bail for court.
