THE STANDARD OF LIVING.
rs Direct Relation to the Scale OF la
boris Wages.

rs DIroct Relation to the Scale OF La
boris Wages.
Tie price Of labor in the same indus
tries differs in different localities CT
markets, rot because the skill Of labor
ers so greatly differs or because there is
great diversity in the supply and de-
mand fer laLorers, but because tho cost
Of production ttho cost OF living) great
ly differs in different localities. Thus,
in New York city, carpenters, masons,
printers and other mechanics get for the
same work so and sometimes 100 per
cent moro than in some other localities.
While the cost OF living is sometimes
affected by the difference in prices Of
particular articles of consumption it is
usually determined largely by the Differ
ence in the social style Of living. The
greater the variety of the things con-
sumed and comforts enjoyed by the la
borers the higher is their standard Of
living and the greater their expenses or
cost Of living. Now, it is universally
true in all countries and localities that
in proportion as this standard Of living,
or social expense Of the laborer' family,
rises among any class of laborers, wages
rise, hence they are always highest in
large cities and lowest i'll remote coun-
try districts.
It may be laid down, then, as a gen
eral principle that wages for similar Ia
Dor in any given market are governed
by the local standard of living of the
laborers. Consequently all efforts to i'm
prove tho condition of the laboring
class, TO be efficacious, must be directed
toward increasing the influences which
raise the standard Of living among the
laboring class. In no other way can q
permanent increase of wages be secured
and it may be added that no scheme fol
social reform which does not tend tC
promote this end can be of any real ben
eft to tho wage olass.-Gunton' Maya

CURLING IN AMERICA.
A Scotch Game ZeaIousIy Cultivated By
Scotchmen.

The game Of curling has secured q
firm place among the winter sports in
all parts of the country where there is
heavy Ice and where there are Scotch
men to teach the game to their Ameri-
can neighbors. There are about 90 curl
ing clubs in the United States, and tho
Grand National Curling club of Amer
lea has membership Of many hundreds
In all parts Of the north and northwest,
but still the game is spoken Of as Scot
lands ain game.
The game is always played on fee
covered lakes or rivers. except in Eng
land, whore it is frequently played un-
der glass roofs by men whose white
waistcoats, straw hats, floral decora-
tions and general lack of Scotch style
cause the real curriers' to regard them
with scorn.
Tho curriers' who ARE members Of the
New York clubs have their contests on
Van Cortlandt lake, and thero is proba-
bly, no class Of sportsmen who go about
a game so seriously as they.
The object of the game is to plant the
curling stone, which has a taakettle
shape and weighs from 50 to "A pounds,
near the "tee, " or center of circle at a
distance Of 20 yards, and to guard it
there.
Next to the stone the broom plays the
most important part in tho game Of
curling, because in the hands of a
sweeper who is anxious to SEQ the stone
advance to the circle where it will
count it is welded dexterUusly, so that
every particle Of snow or ice may be
removed from the stones course, Tho
"skips, OF captains, Of the opposing
sides have charge Of the sweeping de-
partments, and the sweepers have the
right to use their brooms after tho stone
has got beyond the line which marks
the middle of the rink. The sweeping
is always TO o side or across the rink
and not forward or backward, where
the sweepings might obstruct the pas
sage Of running stone.
Match games called a bonspiel, arc
played by opposing teams of four each,
and when it is at home curling is essen
tally democratic. 1t has been said that
the lord Of the manor, tie clergyman
and the village blacksmith may Le seen

The enthusiastic curler sees and heirs
nothing but the speeding stones and the
applause, tho shouts Of "Weel curled,

on the wintry air show that u youthful
spirit may live in mature body, par

ISLAND CITY NEWS ITEMS.
The Street Railway Employees Want
q Raise Ia Wages.
HAVE APPLIED TO FEDERAL COURT,
A Uniform Increase for All Glasses
of Labor or Three Cents nm
Hour Is Asked.

Galveston, Texas, March 27.--Tho en-
ploycs of tho Galveston city Street Rail-
way company want more wages, The road
is now In tho hands OF d receiver and all
matters of this kind must first receive the
sanction OF tho Federal court.
This afternoon Grant r. Bonnet OF coun-
sci for the street railway employees filed a
petition in tho Federal court making a
formal application f5r an increase OF wages.
First is set out the following scale Of wages
now in force: Conductors and motormen,
10 cents an hour; carpenters, 90 cents;
painters, 20 cents: trackmen, Is cents:
boiler washers. lSA cents; oilers, lsM
cents; hremen, 80 cents. Conductors and
motormen work eleven hours day, car
penters, painters and trackmen ten hours
day, boiler washers and oilers twelve
hours aud firemen eight.
The petition sets out the fact that the
road under the receivership of Major r..
b. Baer has now surplus above operating
expenses of more than $4,000. which IL
has accumulated in less than Ave months
time. That this is a season of the year
when receipts are small and that from now
on through the summer months the traffic
will be largely increased
The statement is also made that the
wages received by the men are barely
enough for living expenses and is entirely
Inadequate to make any provision for sick
ness. Most of the employees are married
and in addition to supporting their fam
lilies are obliged to pay for caps and uni
forms.
The increase asked for is cents an hour
for conductors. motormen. carpenters.
painters. oilers, boiler washers and track
men; foremen OF the carpenters and paint
ers to receive 20 cents an hour and eight
hours to constitute a days work for fire.
men, the pay to remain at so cents an
hour.
Byron Dixon and p. j McKenna, presi-
dent and secretary, respectively, of the
local Amalgamated Association of Street
Railway Employees, are the plaintiffs to the
suit.
The street railway company, through It's
attorneys, filed an answer to the petition
The road denies that It can stand an In
crease OF wages. II admits the amount of
surplus on hand as stated in plaintiffs pc
tition, but says it is all needed for the
payment Of interest on its bonded indebt-
edness.
The matter will be presented to Judge
Bryant tomorrow at 10 o'clock. An effort
was made by The Post correspondent TO
ascertain what the action Of the employees
would be In the event the request Is
denied. but they refused to discuss that
phase OF the matter
