The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1897-12-29

WAGE advances are one OF the
best indications of improved con-
ditions; and those that have come
in the iron industry i'll the past
month are especially singnihcant,
in view of the general agreement
that the iron and steel trades have
got beyond the point of any con-
siderable price fctuations. Be-
ginning with 10 per cent advance
by the Minnesota Iron Co., at its
Minnesota and Chandler mines,
the movement has included a
similar increase at mines on the
Menominee range, with the ex-
pection an announcement will be
made soon, of a higher schedule
for the Marquette range. Though
the fall advance in pig iron has
slipped away meantime, a 10 per
cent increase in wages at blast fur
naces in the Mahoning and She
mango valleys has gone into effect
and at the Jones & Laughlins mills
at Pittsburg, day workmen, who
compose the greater number of
employees, have had restoration
of the 10 per cent taken from
their wages in the early summer.
What is of greater value both to
tonnage men and day employees, in
all the rolling mills and steel works
of the country, the steadiness
with which plants have been oper-
ated in 1897 has made it the best
year for wage-earners in iron and
steel since 1892. What is en-
couraging for the coming year, is
that a share of the European
money that the railroads and the
farmers of the country have been
and are now dividing, from the
harvests of this phenomenal year,
are to 60 one step further along
the line in 1898 and pass into the
hands of the steel masters and the
steel workers of the country in

The move in Duluth to erect a
memorial for the Rev. G.. C. Salter
is one of the most enobling acts
the Zenith City has to her credit.
The fund has already reached
mammoth proportions and is con-
stantly increasing. DR.. Salter will
be missed in Duluth more than
any other citizen. His charitable
deeds are recorded in the annals of
Christian deeds and the memory of
DR.. Salter will live long after the
memorial to be erected for him
has fallen and crumbled to decay.

CONCERNING SOME ANCIENT NEWBURY
BooKS.-I was glad to see by the OPINION
of August 9th that a copy of Rev. Mr..
Lambert's ordination sermon in 1870, has
been found. | knew that the sermon was
printed, but did not know that copy of
it was in existence. The list of Newbury
books seems to be lengthening, but they
are not all recorded yet.
will mention a few, hoping that some
or all of them may be brought to light
again.
Somewhere about 1894 Mr.. Lambert pub
lished another sermon in defense of the
action of the church in regard to the mat
ter of Capt Timothy Barron and Ephriam
Wesson. 1t was printed here by Mr..
Coverly. Who has copy?
Many years ago, probably sixty or seven
ty. Miss Jane Johnston, school teacher,
daughter of Col. Robert Johnston, pub
lshed memoir of Kicker boy, and of
her pupils who died young, whose parents
lived as | have understood in the north
part of the town. Several persons now
living in this town tell me they have seen
this little book, but no one seems to know
where a copy can be had. There were
some singular circumstances connected
with his sickness and death which Miss
Johnston thought worth recording. Who
knows of copy?
In 1915 there was published the autobi-
ography of Mrs. Abigail Bayley of Bath,
who died in that year She was daugh,,
ter of Dea James Abbott of Newbury and
one of the original members of the Con-
gregational church. She married Major
Asa Bayley and lived in Haverhill. New
bury, Landau and Bath. Her narrative
which fills 207 pages of the volume is very
interesting and contains much regarding
the early days in this region not found
elsewhere know of three copies of this
book. Who has another?

Life. Adventures, Travels and Sufferings
of Henry Tufts, published in 1907. This
Tufts never lived in Newbury but was
here several times, both during and after
the revolutionary war, and one OF his
numerous wives is said to have lived here.
On one of these visits he preached and at
another he stole a horse, both of these
ayOcations being in his line of business,
in that he was preacher, doctor, school
master, peddler and soldier by turn, and
thief and vagabond all the time, and this
book is a detailed account of a remarkably
ilI-spent life, which came very near sew

TIE SPANISH TRAGEDY.

The assassination OF Senior Canovas
seems to have little. or no political signifi-
canoe, so far as Spain IS concerned, but
1t is due to the fact that there is in
Europe a large element who are opposed
to all forms OF government, and who
think that they are doing the people a
service when, as Guiteau said. they IRE
move" any man in authority.
Fortunately. we have but few full
fedged. red-handed Anarchists in this
country, but If we have many more cam
paigns OF education. such as those
through which the country has recently
passed. there is no telling what the result
will be.
A certain class OF agitators in this
country, some innocently and some de-
signedly, have for several years past been
preaching the doctrine that the govern
ment is directly responsible for the hard
times. and that all the Ills which flesh
is heir TO have come about from bad
legislation
In this way a distinct class has been
created that IS always opposed 10 the
government, no matter which party
chances to be In power, because the gov
eminent has not given that prosperity TO
which these people think the country is
entitled.
II cannot be denied that we have in the
United states a distinct anti-govern-
r,ept element and never before has that
element so fourished and increased. and
never before has II been so pandered
10 as during the past few years.
We shall not dwell at length upon this
subject, because II is not pleasant thing
10 talk or think about, but we do say
that In the assassination OF the Spanish
Prime Minister there is lesson for
Americans, which they may study 10

Tragic Suicide.

The Macon Telegraph tells the following
story:
Fuu particulars OF the tragic suicide
OF the unknown negro at Chula a day or
two ago have been received. by the OFF,
clals Of the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad.
Before the arrival OF Conductor +.
Flournoy's train the negro, who was Il
stranger in the community told several
people that he would either get free
ride on that train when 1t left Chula or
he would Kill himself No one paid any
attention 10 the remark at the time, but
those at the station q few minutes later
saw one Of the most awful tragedies OF
their lives. When the train started away
from the station the negro attempted 10
iump on the blind end OF the baggage
car. but was knocked down small en-
bankment by the platform rail. He was
not hurt however, and recovered himself
In time 10 run up the embankment and
deliberately place his neck on the rail.
In another instant his head was COM
pletely severed from his body and there
was not another scratch on him. Death
came instantaneously, there not being
even paroxysm Of pain.
No one could be found 10 identity the
negro and he was buried at the expense
of the county. Those who saw him
think he was mentally unbalanced.

LEETOWN, w. Va, August I've have
In our neighborhood about eighty poor
children from Baltimore, received in re-
spouse TO an appeal from the Children 5
Fresh Air Society,"
The society pays their fare both ways
and any other expenses. The country
people take them into their homes. usually
by twos. for two weeks, and they enjoy
an abundance OF fresh air. fresh, whole
some country food. and pure water. They
are received as members OF the family
and everything is done 10 make them
feel at home and have royal good time.
and they are making the most OF their
opportunity.
Their coming is the event OF the season
In our quiet community. They were well
coined at the depot by large crowd OF
our best citizens. Had n thorough can
vass OF the neighborhood been made the
number OF children would have exceeded
a hundred.

and one In which country people can en-
gage with so small an outlay OF trouble
and expense
