SIX HUNDRED COUPLES.
Justice Henry Celebrates the Marriage
of the Last One Last Night.


Well, he has done it.
1t was a foregone conclusion that he
would, if he lived long enough, but the
possibility lies in the past and the real
ity has taken its place.
Yesterday afternoon Justice Henry
united in marriage Frederick Fox and
Nora Allen, both Of this city. Taken in
itself, there is nothing iii the statement
out of the eomon run of events for peo-
pie get married every day. What makes
it of interest is the fact that the happy
couple make the six hundredth couple
that he has helped to arrive at the end
of their troubles-which end, no one
knows but themselves.
Everybody is familiar with the genial
face of Judge Henry and his hearty,
cordial manner, but very few stop to re-
fleet on the weight of remorse he must
carry beneath his smiling exterior, for
the great amount Of misery, as we'll as
happiness, that he must have caused
by his ministrations in service of Hy-
men. What a book could be written
from the experiences of the twelve hun
dred people who have heard him pro-
ncunce them man and wife. No doubt
It would be another proof of the saying
that truth is stranger than fiction
And what a sale it would have.
To commemorate such an unusual
event, the Judge received a number of
his friends at his office on 1 street last
evening, the newly married pair being
present and most enjoyable evening
was spent in music and conversation
and the discussion OF refreshments.
The guests departed at a seasonable
hour, hoping that they might all meet
him again when he had raised the num-
Der to 1000, which ne bids fair to do in
due time, as he has engaged to launch
two more couples on the sea of matri-

A MITIGATING PLEA.

But Menke Was Fined for Hitting a
Japanese.
William Menke pleaded guilty yes
terday in the Police Court to battery
on a japanese. He said that the Jap ac-
cused his wife of swearing to his driver,
and when he stuck to his story he
(Menke) knocked him down two or
three times.
The court said that the circumstances
might be mitigation, but could not be
a justification of his action. He was
therefore fined $40, with the usual
alternative, and paid his fine

DANGEROUS DOG.
One That Was Thought to be Afflicted
With Rabies.

One That Was Thought to be Afflicted
With Rabies.
A big Newfoundland dog created
quite a scare in the southern portion of
the city yesterday. He ran through
the streets in crazed manner, with
froth streaming from his mouth, and
appeared to be trying to bite himself.
He was first noticed on P street, near
Twelfth, just as the children were COM
ing from school at the noon recess, and
they scattered in all directions as the
cry Of Mad dogi" went down the line
The animal finally ran off through
Capitol Park, and took possession of
the High School yard at Ninth and NJ
streets. There Officer Talbot and a
Poundmasters assistant succeeded in
lassooing him and he was carted off to
the suburbs. Whether the dog really
had the rabies, or simply fit, is not
known, but whatever the trouble was
it would have been a serious thing for
anyone to have been bitten by him.

ANOTHER MISSING.
This Time 1t is Harper Cloud, Also a
Railroad Employe.

ha1lrOaQ GnplOy6.
There are two men whose where
abouts up to yesterday could not be ac-
counted for-Samuel Ray and Harper
Cloud. Both were railroad employees,
the former in the blacksmithing depart
ment and the latter in the freight sheds,
where he performed clerical duties.
The disappearance of both men dates
from the day the pay-car last dispensed
its coin among the railroad men. It is
said that Ray went on & spree when he
got his money, and Cloud is also re-
ported as having been under the in
fuence of liquor last Sunday.
On Sunday evening some unknown
man was drowned in the river at the
foot Of K street, and the victim doubt
less was either Ray or Cloud. The
friends of each have been quite anxious
for their safety.

SUTROS LITERATURE.
1t Creates a Very Bad Impression at
the East

Colonel ]. t. Harrington, an officer
on Governor Budd's staff, was in the
city yesterday, having just returned
from Kentucky. He says that Sutro's
methods in his fight against the South
ern Pacific Company have disgusted
everybody at the East and the pamph-
let's he has sent on there have made
friends for the company among all
classes of people.
Colonel Harrington says that Sutro's s
work with the Kentucky Legislature
did not have the slightest effect. The
bill introduced in the Senate to repeal
the charter of the Southern Pacific
Company received only eight votes.

Iieyes in polygamy and she most heart
lily disbelieves in the prohibition OF in
toxicating liquors. She is called the
fourth wife Of Angus NJ. Cannon. MI.
Cannon is a leading elder in the Nor
mon church, and he stands in the first
order of precedence for appointment
as one of the CweIve apostles.
MIR. Cannon is the somewhat we'll
known gentleman who married Two
sisters at one fell swoop, and who
afterward told the United States au-
thorities that he would be switched
if he would be ungallant enough to
decide between one of the sisters and
either of the other wives, SO there real

though there are four very lively and
interesting establishments, in each OF
which a woman presides who lays
claim to the right of that title.
Martha Hughes Cannon, the new
senator, is doctor by profession. She
lives in a neat little red brick house
in a new little tree-set street. She has
a little girl, II years old, and a little
boy. years old. She is between 80
and 35 years Of age, and she is very

She has a clear voice and a good,
serviceable vocabulary, and she is per
fectly free from self-cOnsciousness OF
any sort.
Mrs. Cannon was recently asked how
she came to go into politics.

out went the suffrage clause. But the

HOW RAILROAD MEN VOTED.
There Were 600 Sound Money Clubs
With Membership Of 100000.

Chicago, Nov. 2G.-The Railway
age in it's issue this week will publish
a detailed analysis OF the railway vote
in the recent election. The paper
will say: In ali there were 500 rail
way mems sound money clubs organ
lied during the campaign. Two hun
dred of these with a membership OF
100000 were distributed among %
large cities, through the various
wards and precincts of which the
members were so scattered that it
would be impossible to arrive at any
close estimate of the weight of intiu-
ence Of the railway men. From $50
other club points returns are given II
detail in comparison with the vote OF
1892. These $50 club points in 1885,
gave a democratic majority of $3.50.
This was converted in 1886 TO a re
publican majority of 149 PA. There
was an increase in the total vote of
1862; an increase in the republican
vote cast of 1856 and an actual
democratic falling off from the vote
of four years ago of IL 1854. The re-
publican gain at 1874 points was 100

Madison, Nov. 20.

Nlcul6Ou, NOV. ~.
The biennial report of Labor Com
missioner Erickson shows that the
factories in the state are, as a rule, IN
good condition; that the laws regulat-
ing the guarding of dangerous ma
chinery, the requirements for safety
in case of fire and the sanitary condl-
ton of the shops are, with few eXcep-
items. readily complied with. During
the inspection year the inspectors
visited 230 towns and villages, and,
besides, several hundred churches,
halls and other public buildings, in
spected 2, 284 factories and workshops,
each employing five or more persons.
This is 295 more factories than were
visited in the former inspection. Only
forty-five children under IA years of
age were found employed without nee
eSsary permit The number of acct
dents reported was 157, and of these p
proved fatal. In the 1924 factories in
spected 115,497 persons, 102,o66 male
and 13, 431 female, were employed at
the TIME of inspection.
The cost of production, the amount
OF capital used, the comparative earn
jngs of employers and employees in
each of the forty-seyen industries in
vestigated are set forth in the report.
The data was collected from ], 40U es-
Establishments, or more than rs per
cent of all now in operation in the
state. The table of averages show, in
percentages, the share Of the selling
price Of the total product, which goes
to the different elements of expense.
These are seen to be: Raw material
and supplies of all kinds, $3.50 per
cent; rent, so per cent; salaries, $50
per cent; wages, 22.47 per cent; taxes,
insurance, freight, repairs ana sundry
expenses, 6.25 percent; expenses and
depreciation of plant, 7.30 per cent {;
interest on circulating capital invested
or used, So per cent; net profit or the
balance between these expenses and
the value or selling price of the goods,
Ala per cent. These tables also show
that this net profit is equivalent to 3S3
per cent on the total capital used in
production. The average investment.
OF capital to each partner is $4,000,
and the average earnings from the
industry they are engaged in of en-
plOyers and employees is about $462 and
1858 respectively.
Data concerning the yield per acre
ard cost of raising farm products was
obtained direct from the farmers. Re-
garding the average yield per acre in
Wisconsin the report shows that wheat
yields 17.5 bushels per acre, oats 1874
bushels, barley 305 bushels, corn 46.2
bushels, buckwheat 20 bushels, po-
tatoes 98.5 bushels, hay Lee tons, and
tobacco 1900 pounds. Regarding the
cost to the farmer of raising these
products it is found that wheat at an
average cost of 1872 cents per buehel,
oats at 1872 cents per bushel, barley
2l.9 cents per bushel; corn at II. 4 cents
per bushel; buckwheat at 28.5 cents
per bushel, potatoes at 1875 cents per
bushel, hay at So ton and tobacco at

A COMMON COMPLAINT.
Warship New York Has Trouble With
Her Pipes.

New York, Nov. 26.-The flagship
New York will not leave the navy
yard for several days. 1t will be nee
essary to put the big cruiser in the
dry dock, as it wa found at the last
minute almost that several Of the large
pipes connecting the condensers with
the cupboard delivery ON either side of
the vessel were in a weak and danger
Gus condition. They are leaking and
will have to be replaced before it
would be safe to send the ship TO sea.
Men have been at work for several
days making slight repairs to the ship.
1t was decided to remove some of the
pipes that connect the condensers with
the outside of the ship. These pipes
are fourteen inches in diameter and
are Of composite me 5al. The section
removed was found to be full of small
holes. Further Investigation showed
