SOME GOOD IN EVERYBODY.
Amusing story of a High EnElish
Ecclesiastical DignitRFy in
the Slums.

It is generally known that the selec-
ton of Rt. Rev. A. F. Wilmington In
gram to be bishop of London was due
to King Edwards admiration of his
work among the poorer classes. The
new bishop, although a high church
man, has a reputation for federation
almost as great as for his labors in the
slums. Many stories of his democratic
conduct have been told, says Youths
Companion.
One day he was seen to leave high
ecclesiastic on the street corner and
walk over to speak to a roughly
dressed man, with whom he had a
laughing conversation. When he re-
turned to his companion he remarked
casually, in reply to the question:
chat is one of my Victoria Park &C.
quaintances and opponents. We al
ways have a chat when we meet"
The mere menticp of Victoria Park
shocked the church dignitary, for IL
gave him suspicion as TO the mans
lack of religious inclinations.
''Do you mean to tell me-" he said,
"that the mans an atheist?'
''Well, yes" replied DR.. Ingram, "he
is, or at least he thinks he is; but he's
a pleasant fellow, and there's lot Of
good in him. And goodness, you know,
can have only one source"

"When is he comingP" Mrs. Ward
asked.
'Two weeks from next Sunday. The

special conditions, because they could
get a man at once to fill his place.

Barbara made me a gingerbread
man once; and we called it Mr.. Nor
ton, didn't we, Barbara?" Carl spoke
up suddenly, after n absorbed silence
during which he was apparently not
listening to syllable that was being
said.
"Where is Mr.. Morton going to
stay?" Mrs. Ward asked.

that we would be delighted to take
him in here, but we didn't have the

Barbara did not answer, and Carl
got up off the floor, and went over to
her and pulled her work out of her
hands.

pleasing and also establish a reputa-
ton for good fidelity But that is a
wonderful end to the exhortation:
That they may adorn the doctrine of
God our Saviour in all things If a
servant, slave in Paul's time, could go
on serving with that end in view, what
shall I say of myself? Is my service
of such character that it adorns like
jewel that which in itself is jewel
to begin with, the doctrine of God our
Saviour? This is a high standard for
a hired girl, Barbara. If you live up to
it, it will keep you busy"
She offered her prayer with great
earnestness that she might have the
leading of the Spirit of Light, and in
her prayer she remembered Hilda,
fearing she knew not what for the
gin, realizing as she never before had
realized the many dangers that face
working girls in large cities, and real
izing, too, that, if she accomplished
any great things as she sometimes
dreamed she might, it must be done by
the aid of a power greater than her
own, for never before had she felt her
own human weakness so strongly.
For the next three weeks the days
went by in an ordinary way for Bar
bara; but, when she had time to reflect
on them, she acknowledged that they
lad contained important events for
her. 1t is because we are not able to
see the bearing of what occurs day by
day upon the entire programme of life
that very often we do not count each

fined to the housework. Mrs. Ward had

BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

a unique excursion was recently arranged
by the Union Pacific Railroad company.
About sixty newspaper men, representing
the leading journals of the country, were
invited to take a trip on the Wyoming d.
vision, "The Overland Route, for the pur-
pose of viewing the stupendous engineering
achievements recently made on that line
The train was made up of two private
cars, three Pullman palace sleepers, dining
car, drawn by one of the new compound en-
gnes, with an observation demonstrated
on the same plan as trolley car-ahead Of
the engine.
One hundred and ffty-eight and four
tenths miles of new track laid, reducing the
mileage between Omaha and Ogden by 30.47
miles, and reducing gradients which varied
from 45.4 to GIGS feet to the mile to a maxi
mum of 1913 feet, and curves from to de-
grees, while a great deal of bad curvature
has been eliminated entirely.
A mountain removed and lost into q
chasm; huge holes bored hundreds Of feet
through solid granite, an underground river
encountered and overcome; an army of men,
with all sorts of mechanical aids, engaged
in the work for nearly year; the great
Union Pacific track between Omaha and
Ogden made shorter, heavy grades elimi-
mated, and the business of the great Over
land route flowing through a new channel,
without the slightest interruption.
Millions of money have been spent to re-
duce the grades and shorten the distance
This reduction is the result of straighten-
ing unnecessary curves. and the cOnstruc-
ton of several cutoffs between Buford and
Bear river, Utah.
The curvature saved is about one-half,
the grading about the same, while the angles
ara reduced nearly two-thirds The SUI
perorlty OF these changes is apparent to the
practical railroad engineer It is also ap-
parent to the operating department in the
reduction in operating expenses, and to the
traveller IN the increased speed the trains
can make.
The new line runs due west from Buford,
avoiding the high hills and eighty-foot grade
from Cheyenne, and piercing through cuts
and the big tunnel, crosses the Black Hills
at grade of less than one-half ABB feet)
over mountain attitudes.
From constructive standpoint the line
is remarkable for the amount of material
required in the construction of immense
establishments and the building of large
tunnels through solid rock. The cOnstruc-
ton of the new line between Buford and
Laramie alone has involved the excavation
of 100000 cubic yards of material, one-third
of which Exclusive of the tunnel excava-
toni has been solid rock of something over
900 cubic yards per mile
Too much credit for this work cannot be.
given to Horace G.. Burt, president Of the
Union Pacific railroad and his assistants.
The excursion was replete with many in
teresting incidents, and the splendid hos.
pitality of the Union Pacific officials was
revelation. The newspaper men evinced
their appreciation in many ways, particu-
larly in a resolution of thanks to the Union
Pacific officials, General Passenger Agent
Lomax, and Messrs. Darlow, Park and
Griffin

very encouraging. They walked on a
distance without speaking. Then
Barbara became conscious that across
the street, nearly opposite, the young
man who had come into the store
was walking, and Hilda knew it as
well.
Barbara looked at the girl again
and the look determined her next
question, even at the risk of loosing
what little hold she might have on
Hilda.
81 am going to turn down here to
Mrs. Wards, she said as they reached
corner and stopped. AS they
stopped, Barbara saw the young man
linger and finally stop in his course.
"Ihope you won't misunderstood me-"
Barbara continued, looking into Hill
da's face with great frankness. "But
does your young gentleman friend
visit you frequently at Mrs. Vane's?'
Hilda turned red, and at first Bar
bara thought she was about to give
an angry reply. Instead of that she
began to laugh little.
"Yes, he calls sometimes. He's in
the pacl1ing-house on night force
Barbara looked at Hilda earnestly a
moment, then abruptly turned, saying
Goodbye" as she left. She did not
look back, but was as certain as if she
had that the young man had instantly
crossed the street and joined Hilda.
"And what business is it of mine if
he has?" Barbara vexed herself with
the question as she walked along. 81
am glad she said he called. Mrs. Vane
must know it. What business is it of
mine if the girl meets him this way?
He probably has very little other time.
Shall a girl out at service have no So
ciety, no company? o, the whole thing
is of miserable piece with the entire
miserable condition of service. What
is to prevent girls like Hilda throw
ing themselves away on young men
like this one? And who is either to
blame her or care one way or the other
if she does? And what possible pros
pect is there for me or any one to
change the present condition of
things?"
Barbara walked slowly back to her
work depressed by the events of the
afternoon. What, indeed, could she do,
if, as Mrs. Vane said, the very people
that needed to be helped into better
ways of living did not care to be
helped; if, like Hilda, they saw no far
Their and cared no more for better
things than the little episode of the
store and the young man suggested.
She felt so helpless in view of future
progress that when she went up 10 her
room that evening she was in great
need of comfort, and in her search for
the passages having servants in mind
she came upon that one in Titus, sec
ond chapter, ninth verse:
'Exhort servants to be In subsection
to their own masters and to be well
pleasing to them in all things; not
gainsaying; not purloining; but show
ing all good fidelity; that they may
adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour
in all things"
Il don't think there is any danger of
my 'purloining,'" Barbara said, smil-
ing little. Although 1 have some
times been tempted to do a little
'gainsaying,' especially when Mrs.
Ward has one of her severe headaches.

The annual report of the Labor De-
partment OF the British Board OF
Trade represents the year 1900 as the
high-water mark of the working class
es as regards increase in wages and
reduction of hours. 1t was the culmin-
ating period in the upward movement
which began in 1896. The official La
hor Commissioner at London writes:
Not only did the general level OF
wages in the United Kingdom stand
higher at the end of 1900 than in any
other year for which statistics exist,
but the rate of increase during last
year was unprecedentedly high. If We
confine ourselves to the industries for
which it is possible to obtain definite
statistics, we find that no fewer than
l,1126Sl workpeople. or about one-sev-
enth of the total employed, received
advances during the year amounting tc
no less than e212,00O per week, while
only 23,010 sustained decreases to the
unimportant amount OF e2,S0O per
! week The net weekly rise OF G209, 00C
compares with sol 900 in 1899 and
9Sl 900 in 1928. AS in the two pre-
vious years, by far the larger amount
OF the increase is accounted Tor by the
rise OF miners wages, which rose on
the average nearly shillings pence
| trather more than dollar) per week
in the course of the year, and account
ed for G1GS,00O, or so per cent of the
| total weekly increase of wages. TAX
ing into account the various dates at
which the changes came into opera
-, ton, 1t Is estimated that the addi-
, tional amount disbursed in wages dur.
Ing 1900, occasioned solely by the in
crease of wages recorded in this re-
| port, apart from any change in the
number of the working population,
was not less than e6,000,000." Writ
ing, however, in July last, he has to
record the first half of the present
year has accorded with the signs
which were not wanting toward the
end of 1900 that the period OF rising
wages was drawing to a close. The
increases of wages. though still more
widespread than the decreases, have
not balanced them in amount. SO that
for the first time since 1895 the net
effect has been a fall amounting to
nearly 100000 a week, the decline be-
ing most marked in the mining and
iron and steel trades, which recently
had shown the greatest rise. In spite
of the great amount of alteration in
1900 it is recorded that only 5 per
cent of those whose wages were
changed were engaged in disputes on
this account. This was largely due ia
