Miss Richardson Denounces State.
mont of Ex-Secretary Herbert.
Lexington. KY, Dec. 6.-When Miss
along believed that she would christen
the battlteship Kentucky, read eX-Sec-
rotary Herbert's explanation of how
she came to be invited to christen the
vessel she was angrier than ever. She
denounced his statements as false In
many respects, and gave out an au-
thorized interview laying bare some
correspondence which Secretary Her
bert probably never expected to see in
print. Asked what she would do II
Miss Bradley persisted in refusing to
christen the ship, fIiss Richardson said
she would prefer to wait until she knew
positively Miss Bradley's position in
the matter.
In speaking Of ex-Secretary Herbert
she said: 'Ex-Secretary Herbert is
not prosecuting an officer in the SER
vice under him this time who is not
able to speak for himself, but free
born American girl, who Is fully ca
pable of defending herself against the
falsity Of his statement. 1t is true that
the invitation did not come officially.
He has since found out that at that
time an invitation was not in accord
andce with the naval regulations. The
invitation was not taken for granted
by myself during a pleasant little con-
versation at the home of a lady FRIEND
as he puts it."

Notwithstanding the statement of Sin

Der Of men employed is gradually increa,-
ing, this export trade of tho country Is
larger than ever before, wages are being
increased in many instances, railroad
freights were never heavier and business

statemente are borne out by Dun's Review
and other trade journals. We annex a
few extracts:
"The window glass manufacturers Of
Pittsburg, Pa, came to an agreement on
Saturday night and all the window glass
manufacturers in the country will get
started the present month at an advance
In wages of 10 per cent. over last year, or
one per cent. more than the wages paid in
1892 About 12,0O0 will be thus benefited
= 1.-THE voluntary advance of 20 per cent.
In wages of worsied workers at Provi-
dence. restoring the rates of 1893, is evil
dence Of the prosperity OF that manufac.
ture."
Zone of the largest works in manufac-
ture of iron and steel, Jones a. LaughliD,
of Plttsburg, have voluntarily advanced
wages 10 per cent, affecting 5000 hands.
Charles Fletcher, Of the Providence and
National Worsted Mills, Oineyville, r. l..
has voluntarily advanced wages 20 per
cent TO the range Of 1893, and other manu-
fActurers are expected to follow, making
the advance cover 70, 900 operatives. With
the enormous production of pig iron, one
more furnace has started, and another
manufacturing concern has increased its
working force SO per cent. In cotton goods
five southern and one northern mill have
increased working force, and five more
southern mills have started building,
while one more northern mill hns begun
enlarging works. Even in the month. us

Disastrous Prairie Fire.

Guthrie, o. r., Dec. 6.-Saturdaynigh
a disastrous prairie fire ragged in the
county, where it fed on the high and
dry grass and was famed by strong
south wind The fire started near Ruth
postofiice, near the county line, and
swept with lightning speed. 1t was
an exciting night among the farmers,
who fought like demons to preserve
their crops, the women and children
assisting. The canyons running east
and west along Trail creek finally stop
ped the fire, but only after serious prop
erty loss had been entailed. Many
tales of narrow escapes are told.
