About 500 tons of ore is being

About 400 men are now EN-

About rs additional men are
now employed in cutting wood
for the Lake Superior mines at
this place.
About sixty-fve men are en-

there, a fine specimen of which

Frankly CLOSES DOWN.

Acting under instructions con-
veyed in a telegram from the
general Office of the company at
Cleveland, operations at the
Franklin group were suspended
on Wednesday. The cause of
the shutdown or probable length
Of duration of the present state
OF affairs arc matters unknown
to the local management, but it
is improbable that the mine will
long lie idle. The orders affect
about $50 men who, while MAX

WE T-4kE 1T I'LL B.ICH.

We note by the last issue Of
the Virginian that the bill pro-
vidlng for the semi monthly pay
of the employees of corporations
ought to be thrown into the
nearest waste basket. That set.
ties it: into the waste basket it
goes, We had considered that
such a measure would be of vast
benefit to the laboring man and
merchant, making a more strict
cash business possible and pro
vidipg the men, by the payment
to them of their own money, the
means of paying their way. But
when we note the editorial opin-
ion of weighty economic writer,
one who has ever stood ready to
do aught in his power to protect
the rights of the wage Garner
and the local business man from
the onslaughts Of corporate
greed and the attacks of Duluth
and Chicago department stores,
we must needs conclude our
Judgment was at fault, and that
our business andlaooring classes
are entitled to continue holding
up the corporations by enforced
loans. without interest, of wages
and bills due.

of late shown some remarkable

fair to eventually prove as great

TO the business of the entire
country. Twenty million dollars
Wnpth ~ h,,c;nn., 49,,

W WIS BUSINESS OF Inc entire
country. Twenty million dollars
worth Of business done in a sin
gle week is prodigiously signiti-
cant when compared with the
almost complete absence of pur.~
chases by the railroads for many
months past. The stimulus Civ.
on to trade through the employ
ment OF thousands of men in rail
mills that have started on full
schedules. and the employment
OF tens of thousands in the track
laying programme that is just
ahead, is alone con sideration
of vast significance in this time
of slack employment and wide
spread poverty.
"he wage phase of the war in
rail prices has had considerable
attention in the week. The Cam.
bria Iron Co. and the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Go, have posted no.
tees Of 10 per cent reductions,
due in both instances to the low
prices on rails under a competi-
tive market. At the CARNEGIE
Steel Co.'s mills the wages of
tonnage men vary with the price
on rails, the market minimum of
the sliding scale being $17. The
men will therefore receive the
minimum price per ton on most
OF the work turned out in 1897.
1t having been the practice to
run the Edgar Thompson mills
to full capacity whenever rails
are rolled, it follows that less
money per ton also means less
money per day. Yet in the years
operations the men will do fa1
better than in any recent year,
as it has been a long time since
such a years tonnage has beer
put out as will come from these
mills in 1897. At all rail mills
the effect will be the same-f
smaller wage for days run bu'
a total wage for the year thai
will be considerably more thar
the men have had in any of the
late years of intermittent opera
ton.
In other departments of the
iron industry the effect will no
be greatly different. The ab-
sence of accustomed rail profits
will check the slaughtering O.
prices on other products, it i:
true, but until demand grows t.
distinctly larger proportions thu
absence of prof on every elias!
of material. beginning with ore
will tend to depress wages.
In iron ore the certaint,
that prices will be lower and tina
portion, at least, of the Besse
mer output for 1897 will be out
side of any price agreement, ha'
already resulted IN wage reduc
tons at a number of the mines

LovesiclS Youth of brooklyn Thrown
Into Jamaica Day for Writing Note.
Maurice Butler, the 17-year-old love-
sick son of DIR. William NJ. Butler, of
507 Clinton avenue, Brooklyn, was ar
raigned before Justice Sters in the
Flatbush police court for violating Sec
ton $40 of the penal code, which has
reference to the transmission of OBJ
jectionable matter. The young man
became infatuated with Miss Edith
Hall while she was playing the part of
Miss Brooklyn in the burlesque called
Little Miss Brooklyn" now being pro-
duced at Bergen Beach. He visited the
Casino four times, each time occupying
front seat, and, failing to attract the
attention of the soubret, at length he
sent her q basket of flowers with a
note in it. Part of the note was as fol-
lows:
eff Miss Hall could be induced to share a
cold bottle with young man would she be
kind enough to pin a few of these flowers
at her corsage the next time she appears
on the stageY If she cares to accept this
convenient for the meeting?
Miss Hall was indignant over the
note. She told some of the other girls
and they planned revenge. The flowers
were worn at her corsage. After the
performance the girls trooped out to
meet the victim. He looked pleased all
over when they surrounded him on the
walk near the water.
Take that, you wretchi" cried Miss
Hall, selling Butler. The astonished
youth made no resistance when the
girls laid hands on him and in an i'm
slant more he went into Jamaica bay.
When he came out like a drowned rat
he was arrested. He was locked up and
in court he promptly pleaded guilty,
but the plea was afterward changed
and a lawyer will be engaged to defend
him.
