Mrs. Corisande was born only two years
earlier than her brother Tom. When Tom
was 10 years old, she gloried because she
was IL. When Tom was known to be IA,
she confessed to sweet 10. When Tom
proudly boastcd Of 1s. she timidly acknowl-
edged herself past 10. When he came
hons from college with a mustache and
had a party in honor Of his twenty-hrst
birthday, she said to her friends:
"What boyish fellow he isl Who
would think he was only a year younger
than Ii'' And when Tom declared he wa,
90 and old enough 10 get married she said
10 n gentleman friend; "Do you know
feel savagely jealous to think Of Tom get

And two years later at Toms weddin!
she said with girlish vivacity to the wed

Concerts.
Emma Square was crowded with
people Monday night to hear the
concert by Berger's band. The an
nouncement Of three songs in the
program was the big draw card.
When they came half the bandsmen
formed themselves into an orches-
ira, and the others sang. The thrt e
songs took well In reponse to a
general encore fourth selection wa S
rendered. All lwere native airs.
Prof. Berger has made some
changes in the hand since he return

filled by the best native talent procu-
rable. AS result half of the band is
already composed of Hawaiians.

The wooden industry was the only one
in which there was not a positive fall in
wages between 1873 and 1891, and the
fall that took place in the wollen in
dustry in 1898, as shown by the Con-
nscdcut Labor Report, reduces wages
there as much as they have been re-
duced in every other industry
The most rapid fall in wages, fur
thermore. was not during the period
covered by the Senate report. In 1891
Austria had not adopted The gold stand
ard: India continued the free coinage Of
silver. and this nation was adding $780,
100000 a var based on silver, to its
currency. The international gold stand
ard was not fully established undl 1898,
and il is since that time that labOrerS
have suffered most from loss Of employ
ment and falling wages. Since 1891. in
mining. rs shown by the recent Michi.
gan labor!ng reports, wages have fallen
more than fifteen per cent This means
q total fall OF thirty per cent. since 1873.
In agriculture. as shown by the report
of the National Bureau, the earnings OF
all those employed, including owners,
tenants and hands. have fallen over
twenty per cent. This means a total fall
of over dirty per cent. since 1873. In
the city industries. during the last five
years. enc Gu: N wages has followed an
o.her. and the army Of the unemployed
has been so greatly increased that labor
organ .zaticns have almCs, lost their
mower TO insist upon living wages.
The experience Of this country has
b-en the experience Of the world. Le-
row B5aulieu. the creates, mcnometal-
list in France. states in his volume de
Ia R7parition des Rechesses), that
wages N Great Britain advanced from
sixty 20 seventy per cent. between the
middle Of the century and 1875, and had
fallen from ten to twenty per c,1t. be-
tween 1875 and 1887. The period OF ris-
ING wages was the period CT bimetal.sm
ard the interests OF producers. TAa
Dericd Of falling wages was the period
Of recommendation and the Interests of
creditors. The wage earners are right
in demanding that the latter period be
brought TO an end and that the old law
which meant prosperity to producers be
restored.
