Death in Awful Form.

A crowd of nearly Thousand people
watched a man drown in Los Angeles
to-day and was powerless to help him.
His name was Thomas Reynolds, and
ne was laborer for sewer building
on Los Angeles street, near Boyd.
The scene was the most agonizing that
can be imagined.
At about 8 o'clock Reynolds was
working in new sewer that is build

falling earth, but no one thought his
situation serious. A rope was made
fast to him and an attempt was made
to pull him out, but his shovel had
fallen across his feet, and it was soon
seen that he would have to be dug
out.
The work was at once begun. Sud-

The man was doomed and nothing
could be done for him. He was up

reached his waist. For the first time
he realized that he would die. Inch

source, Turkey, Brazil and the Argen-
tine Republic for goods from Zwickau
prison, and Germany and England for
goods from the prisons at Waldheim
and Hoheneck. 1t will be observed
that the United States is not men
toned as market for these goods.
But it seems very strange that the
latter should go to every other coun-
try on the globe, except the United
States. whereas this country is the
chief market for Saxon hosiery"
Although the United States is not
mentioned as being market for the
prison made hosiery, those who are
interested in this trade feel perfectly
confident that considerable quantities
of German prison made hosiery were
received here among the four million
dollars worth of German hosiery i'm
ported during the first three months
of this year. The very low import
value OF such importations, is of itself
almost proof conclusive. When for
eign made hose cen be retailed in this
city at few cents per pair nobody
will venture to assert that free labor
was employed in its manufacture.
Whether ready made clothes do
come here from foreign jails, or not,
we are not prepared to state, but with
the cost OF making suit of clothes
placed at 81. 09l, the price of the shod-
dy and rags from which such goods
are made probably not exceeding
dollar, there IS no reason why Jail
garments should not be sold in this
country. duty paid, at SIS per suit;
and We have seen ready made clothes
advertised for sale in this city at about
that price.
That we also receive from Germany
our share of their exports of prison
made hats. brushes, dolls, baskets,
buttons and artificial flowers is doubt.
less true. The question is, to what
extent shall their importation be per-
mitted? How high protective tariff
must We have in order to exclude
them and give the work to American
labor that is now being done in Ger
man jails-that is, il it be found i'm.
possible to prevent their importation
by tho clause in the tariff law as it
now stands.

Till leaping dog awakened him with sharp
and loud bow-wows,
To warn him that the time had come for
driving home the COWS.
And now he splashes in the brook that flows
from yonder spring,
It ripples, bubbles, murmurs, like a bright
and living thing;
Upon its sparkling current, here, he used to
sail his boats,
And once again he throws chip to watch it
as 1t floats;
Whirling, dancing, jumping, far away a-down
it goes,
Up and down and here and there, with all
the changing flows,
Till out of sight it whirls at last, down where
the channel bows,
AS once he did when years ago while driving
home the COWS.
And all day long in the meadow, while rak-
ing the fresh-cut hay,
The brightest fancies come to him with the
brightness Of the day.
And every cricket chirping, and the lark that
scars and sings,
The butterfly that dazzles with its brightly
painted wings,
All seem to be companions, as he works and
works away,
Till sun sinks low and lower, with the pass

And voice calls through the shadows and
the slowly gathering gloam;

Those "Advances:' In Wages.

The wage earners in the wooden
mills do not altogether relish those
''increases in wages" that the free
traders have been telling us about.
They find that, though wages have
been restored somewhat, there is by
no means regular employment for the
hands. Hero is case IN point at tho
Granite Mills. Pasoosg, r. l.
In 1892 these mills were running
full time and with full wages, employ.
ing about $50 hands in the manufac-
ture of wooden goods. This was con-
tinued until July %, 1893, when the
entire mills were shut down, remain
ing closed until September IL, when
they started again on three-quarter
time. From September % to October
81 the Granite Mills worked two-thirds
time; from October 81 to December 2
they worked half time; from Decem.
ber 2 to January 13 they worked two
thirds time; from January 13 to Jan.
uary 81 they worked full time; then
they again shut down until February
10, 1894. From this date until March
10 the mills ran two-thirds time at
the same rate of pay as the mills were
receiving in 1899. The schedule of
wages was restored to that of 1892
but, as the hands were not working
full hours, their earnings were conse-
qlently smaller, and this point the
free trade papers never refer to.
The Mckinley rate OF wages lasted
only nineteen days, and, on March IL,
1894, the schedule was reduced from
10 to 10 per cent.. with full working
hours till April 81. Then the mills
were stopped for two weeks until May
8, when they started up again on full
time at wages from 10 to Is per cent.

oiselle de la Seigliere,
The empress was present, graceful
and beautiful; the emperor at her
side, wrapped in his favorite air of
gloomy abstraction. which, like Lord
Burleigh's celebrated nod, was sup
posed to mean so much, yet which,
viewed by the impartial light of SUBJ
sequent veracious history, seems to
have signifed so little. Several off,
GERS in glittering uniforms we're in at
tendance, sparkling with decorations
showered upon them by grateful
sovereign; and among these gallant
warriors, conspicuous by reason OF
his attire, was solitary, humble,
black-coated civilian, in ordinary
evening dress, with the inevitable
speck of red at his button-hole.
In box almost Immediately op-
posite that occupied by their imperial
majesties was young and exceedingly
handsome Russian lady, Countess
Ivanotf, concerning whose manifold
graces and destinations the great world
of Paris elected to interest itself con.
siderably at this period.
The beauty and wit of this fair
northern enchantress were the theme
of every masculine tongue, and her
magnificent diamonds the envy and
admiration of all feminine beholders.
The countess was accompanied by her
husband, man of distinguished ap.
pearance.
The curtain fell after the first act.
The emperor and empress withdrew
during the entr'acte. Many humber
mortals followed their example !;
among them Count Ivanoff, apparently
in nowise disturbed by the fact that
the golden youth in the stalls were
bringing small battery Of opera
glasses to bear upon the dazzling
charms OF his beautiful wife.
The countess leaned back in her
luxurious fauteuil, tanning herself,
serenely indifferent to the interest she
was exciting. In the dim light of hel
curtain-shaded box, the glitter Of her
splendid diamonds seemed to form Q
sort of luminous halo round her grace
full head; myriad starry brilliants
cleaned among the masses of hel
gold-brown hair; and two priceless
stones flashed and twinkled like twin
planets in her little shell-tinted ears.
The count had been gone but few
minutes, when there was gentle
knock at the door; and, in answer to
the countess's "Eutrez," the ouvreust
appeared, and said deferentially:
"Pardon, Nine. Ia Comtesse; Q

she recognized the distinguished-look

close proximity to the emperor in th'

The visitor advanced few steps
and, still standing in deep shadow
said, with grave dignity:

doned. I am desired by her majest,
to ask a favor OF Nine. Ia Comtesse
and, at the same time, to beg that she
