this afternoon at the home of Bishop
William Faucet in the Third ward.
Mr.. Faucet himself is in his ninetieth
year having seen his eighty ninth
birthday in January last. He has
lived to see four generations OF his own
children and there are now living in
the territory 800 people, his direct de-
cendants, There are quite number
of these gathared together and will be
more tomorrow, but the most interest
ing fact is that Mr.. Faucet has two OF
his sisters with him today whom be
has not seen for years and they are
aged 81 and 81 respectively. Mrs.
r ,becca Turner, aged 81. has come on
irom the east in order to be at this re-
union and the other sister road all the
way from Scipio in a wagon. her sole
object being TO once more see her
brother and sister in life before she is
called upon to cross the bourne. 1t is

illness, are able to earn but sixty
cents day, there must be much harl-
ship and some actual suffering. The
fact that this condition exists calls
not only for sympathy, which is freely
given in spite of the hard conclusions
of Mr.. Marshall, but for prompt and
intelligent action.
There is now visiting in New York q
gentleman who, presumably, is good
authority on the question of wages in
India. He is Prince Imad Nawaz
Jung, Nawab of Bakodor, and accord
ing to n statement which he made
since reaching this country, Mr.. Mar
shall's estimate of the regular rate of
Indian wages was altogether too high.
According to this Indian prince, his
fellows who have to work for living
receive only $1.50 month, or five
cents q day. As Mr.. Marshall says
that in India ''plain food is as dear as
it is in this country" it must be pre-
sumed that he is prepared to prove to
his own satisfaction that, leaving out
the item of rent, which it must be ad-
mitted would be higher in New York
than in India, the laboring men and
women in the metropolis would get
along very comfortably on thirty
cents week. k.-Springfield Mass. J

That British Smile.

United States Consul Claude Meek.
er sent to the State Department from
Bradford, the annual review of Brad
ford trade which is published on the
last day of each year by the Bradford
Daily Observer, and from which we
take the following:
eff the whole world had been one
vast confederation of States and Eu-
rope had elected the Democratic party
to represent its interests at Washing
ton. we could not have held stronger
belief that that party was working in
our interests. 1t raises, therefore, q
grim smile when it is clearly brought
home to us that the American Govern
ment have legislated solely in the in
terests of the American people"
This "grim smile" must be the echo
of the loud guffaw that greeted Il

Wilson at that historical British ban

Higher Cost of Production.

The effect of the bond issue in ad-
vancing the rate of interest to manu-
facturers and producers who, in the
ordinary course of business, are COM
PEELED to borrow money, is stated by
Bradstreet's as follows:
"Another matter which is not un-
likely to have further influence is the
improvement in the money market.
Call loans have ruled much firm
er, and though the demand fer other
classes Of accommodation is not ut all
large, it is noticed that lenders are
much firmer in regard to rates, and
that the supplies of loanable funds do
not seem as excessive rs they were
only short time ago. This result
also, it is believed, has connection
with the operations of the financial
interests which form the bond syndi-
cate. In carrying out their arrange
ments they have accumulated consid-
erable amounts of money, and it is
thought that their efforts are to force
loaning rates to little higher level
and thus aid i'll attracting foreign
money to this country"

a Cough That Slew Thousands.

Recent history proves to us that it
was cough that was mainly RESPONSE
BILE for the immense amount of blood
shed that attended the coup d'etat
whereby Napoleon III obtained his
throne. The field marshal in charge
of the military operations WAS unwill-
ing to assume the direct responsibility
of ordering the troops to fire upon the
people. So when the moment of ac.
tion arrived, and the mob began to
show signs of sweeping the troops, the
generals under his orders sent an Of
ticer to him at headquarters for in
s.ructions. Just as the field marshal
was about to respond he was seized
with violent fit OF coughing, which
lasted several moments. When at
length he ceased, he managed to gasp
the words, "Ma sacree touz!" ("My
cursed cough!") The officer waited
to hear no more, but returned post
haste to his superiors with the news
that Saint-Arnaud had said, "Massa-
cree touzl" r'Massacre everywhere?")
These commands being carried out,
thousands of people were shot and
bayOneted in consequence.

Mr.. Marshall, the author of the

to account for his apparent disposi.

a day is the regular rate OF wages in
China and Indin women in New York
who are earning sixty cents day arc
in such comfortable circumstances
that they have no ground for complaint,
and that those philanthropic women
who attempt to better their condition

to the statement that iii China an

that it controverts popular ideas on

How do you turn?-do you keep straight on

Or is it the case that you find the place by

So through Poverty Place my way I trace

But in Hard Times Court the ways cut

In the Lane of Chance I .ometimes glance,

Oh, happy fate to dwell in state, at last,

We will all of us live on Easy street when

When fortune and fame shall attend our

Through the deed achieved we've had our

Giving us zest to finish the rest of the things

A Lesson From Rice.

The duty on rice was reduced Is. 50
per cent. by the German tariff. This
was slight reduction compared with
many other products, but the result
has been an increase of 1870, 635
pounds in our imports of foreign rice
at New York since the German tariff
became law, as compared with the inn
ports of foreign rice during the corre-
spending five months year earlier.
This is an object lesson to the Southern
rice planters, who will undoubtedly
study the results of his first step to-
ward free trade with much interest.
Here are the figures of total imports
of rice through the New York Custom
House.

"The Cuban revolt is q continu

'The Cuban revolt is o continuous
and perpetual thing" remarks the
Atlanta Constitution. "Since 1884
the native inhabitants of the island
have never been perfectly quiet. When
not in open warfare they have made
it as unpleasant as possible for the
Spaniards in the interior. Between
1884 and 1878 official statistics show
that it has cost Spain for reinforce
ments sent to Cuba $500, 900, 900, and
like amount for property destroyed.
In that period 5000 Spanish officers
have persisted and 100000 private
soldiers-all killed in battle or through
disease. More than 1900 Cubans
have been killed in war and 43, 900
have been taken prisoners and ex-
ecuted. These are startling figures.
but there will be no permanent peace
in Cuba under existing conditions.
The natives are denied all civil, polit-
ical and religious liberty. They are
excluded from all positions of honor,
trust and profit, and they are cruelty
oppressed and taxed to death. Ma
turally, Spain suspects that the Ameri-
cans sympathize with the Cnbans, and
this explains her continual insults
and outrages in dealing with our mer-
chant vessels. We can never feel
secure nor count on peace with Spain
until Cuba is independent or under
our flag.

ADVICE IS CHEAP.

"Get up, young man." the poet wrote,
"And breathe the air so sweet;
Put on your light spring overcoat
And walk before you eat;
With lambkins in the early morn,
Go sport upon the green"
Next day the poet forlorn
Arose at ten-flfteen.
1t is an easy job to give
Advice-we all can teach
But such an awkward thing to live
And practice what we preach!
OF kindly precept none have lacked
So far as have seen;
But words by good example backed
Are few and far between.
The country stands in need of those
Who do as Enoch did,
And while their weary Jaws reposc /
Walk right side up amid
The mad, discordant. surging throng
That treads the pavement blocks
Such men do more to crush out wrong
Than one who simply talks.
We have too much of vocal noise,
Too great waste of breath.
This life Is robbed of halt its joys,
And talked almost to DEATH
If more would bravely do and daro
The land of heavenly bliss
Would have few recuits to spare
From those who die in this.

Stopped for Twelve Hours.

The Buffalo papers of April 1, 1S4s.
published a wonderful story to the
effect that the waters on the American
side of Niagara Falls had ceased to
flow for an entire day. It was sup
posed to be hoax, but was afterward
proved correct. The phenomenon was
caused by the ice in the river becom-
ing iammed against the islands so that
an enormous dam was formed, and the
water was held back for more than
twelve hours. The fact is attei I'd by
many witnesses.
