KILLED THREE.
Terrible Crime Committed by an In

furiated Arkansas Farmer.
Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 4.-One of the
most horrible crimes ever perpetrated
in this state took place in Franklin
county Wednesday night. Sol +. Aut-
rey, farmer, accompanied by his fam
lily, went to visit his aged father and
mother. living near Mulberry. Shortly
after his arrival Aubrey became en-
gagged in religious argument with the
old folks. Suddenly he grasped an iron
bar, killed his aged father, mother and
his ten-year-old son and seriously
wounded his wife and three remaining
children, two of whom are not expected
to live. His wife and eldest daughter,
although badly wounded, managed to
notify the neighbors. When they
reached the house they found Aubrey
a raving maniac, with his clothing on
fire. He was overpOwered after hard
struggle. The sight that met the neigh
bors' eyes was appalling. The three
dead victims of the crazy man lay on
the floor beaten, burned and mangled
almost beyond recognition. He has
been chained all day, talking incohe-

Gage Talks Dollars md Sense.

Gentlemen who ere reproouc NJ the
twaddle of the last Presidential cam
paign about the appreciation Of the
dollar vii do well to read what Sec
rotary Sage said upon this subject in
his recent speech at Philadelphia.
Here it is. Mr.. Gage spoke Of var
ious arguments which had been adj
vanced against our monetary stand
ard, the tayorite one being the asser-
ton that falling prices must be at
the cost Of labor, since land and capi-
ital will not engage in productivity
except upon the terms they them
selves dictate, " and that. gold hav-
ing appreciated in value, prices Of
commodities have fallen, and because
of the exacting power of land and
capital the evil effect has been felt by
wages in the form of a diminished
share" ..Now." SAID Secretary Gage,
..if this statement were true it would
Of necessity be evidenced by the
actual fall in wage prices. This
brings the question to the test of fact.
1t has been asserted upon authority.
and | believe it to be approximately
true, that within the period 1929
prices have fallen an average OF 272
per cent. | am at liberty, therefore,
to adopt the same authority as to the
course Of wages. 1t appears from the
exhaustive figures Of the Commission
er Of Labor, the authority cited, that
within the period lS72-'91 wages have
increased an average of 10 per cent.
Taking the greater power of wages to
command things by reason OF their
lower price, the economic advantage
gained by labor is still further en-
phasized. In 1872, $100in gold would
buy a certain amount of living; in
1891, prices having fallen, 800 would
buy 274 per cent. more than it did in
1872; and wages having increasee 10
per cent. in the meantime, the same
work which was paid 800 in 1872
received $40 in 1891. From the
double advantage OF decreased prices
and increased wages, it follows that
in 1891 the same labor would pur-
chase 81 lie per cent. more Of living
than it did in 1872. Let us apply
these advantages by example. In
1891, the labor that supported fifteen
people supported only ten in 1872
In 1891, from the same labor as in
1872. a man living upon the same !
scale would have over one-third of his
wages to put in bank or better pro-
vide for his family. | am further
borne out of this demonstration by
the statistics Of savings banks cover !
ing the period under consideration.
Since 1871 the number of depositors
in such institutions has increased
from less than two millions to more
than five millions, and the average
per capita saving in the United States
has increased Sc per cent"

Tho Typical New York House.


In her day New York has been, in
disputably, one Of the ugliest cities in
tho world. Happily, she has appar-
emily become conscious Of her fault,
for of late she has shown unmistaka-
bic evidences of her desire to grow in
loveliness; but there are as yet many
blots and blotches upon her face that
must be sobliterated before she can
hope to be considered a thing Of beauty.
Chief among her disfgurements ranks
the typical Now York house that sprang
into existence during the early '60s
and multiplied apace we'll on into the
'70s. Its ugly exterior boasts, with
mistaken pride, Of possessing
''brownstone front and high stoop;"
rising in cramped pretension four
stories in the air from it's scant twenty
one-foot lot. Its yet uglier interior
has for predominant characteristics q
narrow hall, with an aggressive flight
Of stairs that all but slap one in the
face each time one enters the front
door; a long, high, narrow drawing
room that reminds one forcibly of q
bowling alley, punctuated by a couple
of marble mantelpieces, sometimes
white, usually black or mottled yell
low, furnished with skinny CRATES;
o shallow dining room, where gas
burns constantly, and the one dingy
bath room that is supposed to serve
for the entire household of a four
story domicile. ILLUSTRATED american.
