HAND AND MACHINE PRODUCTION.

Studies OF the effect OF machinery up
on hand production. made by Carroll
D. Wright. of the Labor Bureau. show
that fifty-two men are now employed
i'm making a plow against two In 1850.
the operat tlons performed being ninety
seven TO eleven. AS respects the time
required to make plows. 1850 hours
were required by two workmen in 1850
IN making ten plows. while but thirty
seven and a half hours are required
by the ffty-two men now employed,
says the Baltimore sun. The reduction
of time is as 81 10 | i'm favor OF ma
chinery. Wages have risen from 30
cents TO sl.2j and $3.50 day. but even
with these higher wages the economy
is about y 90 I. The cost OF the labor
employed in making ten plows is but
500 now. against s54.t6 i'm 1850. Labor
has not been displaced. because il finds
employment I'm making the machines
that seem to displace a.. and the re-
duced cost of products has increased
the demand. Every step OF progress
creates new Industries.

The first train into Providence was
the one which usually arrives at 3:45.
but which arrived at Z o'clock this

sumed.
The wreck may have been caused by
the dropping OF a brake beam. the fall
ure OF an air brake TO work. a broken
carwheel or the too sudden working OF
the air brake, but the matter will be
determined oy a critical examination at
a later hour.
No one was injured in the wreck and
no narrow escapes have been recorded
thus far.

HORSE, CART AND DRIVER
WENT over EMBANKMENT.

An accident which at first appeared
serious. but resulted only in few
bruises TO the participants, occurred
last evening at the dumping ground at
the foot of Preston street, near the
Seekonk river.
James r. Cronin had been hauling
ashes to the dump during the greater
part of the day and about o'clock be-

over the danger line. AS result OF
his error in judging distance the cart
and horse were thrown down the en-

also.
Several persons congregated at once
to render aid and were agreeably sur
prised when they found that the horse
and man were both practically unhurt.
The cart was n complete wreck, how
ever and cannot be repaired.

POPULAR AND ARTISTIC
JOE NEWMAN is COMING.

The people of Laramie who like a
clean and artistic entertainment will
find that to be given by Joe Newman
and his company Friday evening at
the Opera House most delightful. Mr..
Newman himself is an artist, the
songs he has written have achieved
a worldwide fame and he himself is
one of the most charming fellows or
earth. He carries the hearts of Den.
yer people in his pocket and can get
an audience in Denver any time he
tries. There is much feeling in his
sentimental songs and his comical
pieces are convulsing without depend.
ing upon any indicate allusion for
their effects.
Mr.. Newman's company is an excel.
lent one, consisting of soloists and a
reader, all of exceptional ability. Miss
Jean Brooks, soprano, is one of the
most charming singers in the west.
She has a voice of remarkable power
anu sweetness ana ner repertoire In
Guides operate selections and songs
by the best composers. She also sings
the simplest ballads and dainty love
songs that we all like to hear. Wher.
ever she sings she establishes herself
as an immediate favorite.
Another bright member of the
Joseph Newman company is Miss Sada
Talbot. who gives pleasing up-to-date
re~citations and representations. She
has the happy faculty of getting on
good terms with an audience at once.
Miss Talbot is a clever actress too,
and appears to advantage in the little
plays with Mr.. Newman. The play to
be presented as part of the program
will be "A Happy Pair" and it will
keep the audience laughing for half
an hour.
