How Workingmen Get Better Loaves at
Cheaper Prices.

In Belgium workingmen are enjoying
the benefit of cooperative bakeries.
These establishments have brought down
the price OF bread to such an extent as.
to drive many of the smaller bakeries
out of business. The cooperative baker,
is an institution that not only gives
cheap bread, but good bread. 1t is a
protest against the inordinate profits of
the bakers as well as against the dirty,
unsanitary condition of their factories.
The new system of cooperative bread
making is an unqualified success.
At such cities as Brussels, Client,
Antwerp and Liege the cooperative bak-
cries regulate the bread market. They
set the standard for both the consumers
and the producers. Their products are
subjected to rigorous analysis and critl-
cism. In these bakeries the eight-hOur
work day is regulated on a system OF
three shifts. The working staffs par.
ticipate in the profits of the undertaking.
They have encouraged the organization
of the workmen employed in the bak-
cries into unions which discuss, ex-
anime and propose measures likely to be
a benefit or improvement to the bread
making business
The rules of the cooperative bakeries
are simple They sell only for cash.
They do not sell at the lowest prices
possible, but they guarantee to deliver
bread of the very best quality and con-
tanning the highest possible percentage
of nourishment They adhere to the
federation of cooperative societies and
its regulations. They allow to the EN-
ployes, managers and staff a share in
the profits. They distribute the profits
according to the amount of purchases.
They interest the co-operators, especi-
ally the women, in the management OF
the business, and induce them to think
about and discuss the solution of social
problems. They exercise a serious con-
troll over the business through the in
termediary of trusted administrative
counsel. The bookkeeping and business
arrangements are all clear and simple.
The recent exposures of the unhea' by
conditions under which bread-making
conducted in New York have suggested
to many journeymen bakers the posi-
bility of establishing similar cooperative
bakeries here. The manufacture of bread
in dirty, unlighted and germ-flled cellars
is not only unwholesome to the bakers.
but it results in poisoning bread and d
consequent damage to the consumer.
The complaint against these conditions
which was made public recently came
from the workmen themselves.-Ne7p

BANK 'DEFAULTERS.
How a Conspiracy Between Two Was
Brought to Naught.

"No system of checks can prevent a
dishonest employee from stealing, said
a veteran business man and bank Direc-
tor of this city, and the best deterrent
| know of is an occasional overhauling
of accounts by an outside actuary. If
all hands feel that this is liable to hap
pen at any moment, they are very apt to
keep straight The strong point about
such examinations should be their TN
expectedness l don't believe in the ro-
tation of bookkeepers or other trusted
employees as check on one another.
Good men in the same establishment al
ways have an aversion to tale-bearing.
and, in nine cases out of ten, they will
fail to report little things that would
at once excite their suspicion in a ledger
kept by a stranger They don't want to
run the risk Of making a mistake and Sc
curing the everlasting ennity of fel-
low-employe The man who makes the
inspection should be brought, if possible,
from another city.
That reminds me, by the way, of
remarkable story of collision which was
related to me lately by National bank
examiner of my acquaintance. One day
he was going through the usual inspec
ton of affairs at a solid old bank in a
Northeastern city, when the cashier sud
denly toppled over in an apoplectic fit,
and died almost instantly. His cash and
accounts were found to be absolutely
correst. Some months later the I.speC-
tor dropped in to make an examination
of another bank only a few doors away,
and the cashier promptly slipped out
side entrance and disappeared. 1t de-
veloped that he was short a large
amount, and, when subsequently caught
curious story leaked out. 1t seemed
that both cashiers were defaulters. and
had been in the habit OF helping each
other out with cash to make good when
the examiner appeared At the time the
first man dropped dead he had about
$4,000 of the other banks money, which
he had intended to return next day. The
tragedy left his friend in a terrible hole,
as he had to shoulder both shortages,
and when the examiner next arrived
there was nothing to do but run. His
statement was confirmed by ample eX-
traneous evidence, but | don't believe it
was ever given to the public in all its
details. "-Nel0 Orleans TimeS-Dem0crat

StOnS the Train.

With a view to preventing accidents
at level crossings and collisions in the
neighborhoOd of railway stations a very
ingenious mechanism has recently been
tried in France. 1t consists essentially
of 4 huge hook, or catch, made of iron
which is connected with lever at the
station b. means of Il wire, through
which a current of electricity passes
When it is lying in its place the train
pdsseS over it quite easily, but as soon
as il is raised il catches 4 lever which
is attached to the engine. The lever
thus caught causes an air valve on the
engine to open automatically and APP
plies the brakes at once, so that the
whole train is brought TO a standstiI
within Il short distance. In foggy
weather the use of such an apparatus
cannot be overeStimated. as it is calcu-
lated to prevent 4 train running into
another which happens to be delayed

lure voters. l stayed at home and
made no speeches. and on election day
my opponent won by a small majority.

FASHION NOTES.

Silk gowns are always useful and at
tractiye for summer wear and it seems
to be rather fad of themoment to have
them made up quite simply.
The dominant note of Partisan fashions
is the prodigal use of transparent textiles
trimmed with chiffon or net draperies or
lace of every known pattern, weave and
tint.
Elbow sleeves are now fashionable
both in day and evening bodices, but for
day wear the fashion is not likely to be
general. although Parisians have adopted
it with surprising unanimity..

broidery. Many are seen on cloth gowns
and are either of the material or of some
contrasting cloth. These are tucked,
stitched or pleated, else are trimmed with
bands of stitched silk or velvet. A sam
pie appears in the accompanying small
picture of a cream broadcloth bodice.
Here the proportions were sensible;
where the affair is tiny and-at least to
every woman who knows anything about
how her clothes are made-Obyiously at
tached to the belt rather than to the
bodice, the result is often downright
freakish. The postillion effects seen on
boleros usually are tabs of Persian or
Bulgarian embroidery fastened to the
jacket Some of velvet and silk are seen
on handsome silk gowns, but these are
generally fastened to ribbon belts. They
vary in length, some being very long
while others merely suggest the effect

Strap and band trimmings are as popu-
lar as ever. Nearly all cloth gowns show
linen, nd pique bands and straps are
seen on many gowns of soft, light-colored
cloths and look very swagger. The
heavier cloths usually have bands of silk,
velvet or of the material. Some show
ing trimming of contrasting cloth are
very handsome. Oriental and Persian
bands are used on the expensive gowns,
usually of the biscuit shades, dark blue
and black. They look very stunning on
black and dark blue. The little straps
are usually fastened down with the tiny
gilt and silver buttons. Some show
stitching to match the costume, while
others are stitched in white or brilliant
colors. One gown of biscuit cloth had
strap trimming of linen stitched in a
handsome shade of green. At the left
in the next illustration is another model

panel of scarlet satin crossed by white
pique straps.
Aside from this strap garniture, the
chief embellishments for summer cloth
suits are stitching and touches of bright

The Coming Tariff War.
OF THe DIZZY.


The Democratic party has been fight
ing itself instead of its enemies for
eight years. The signs are multiplying
that the Republican party is about to
have a turn at a similar experience
The administration is convinced that
it will be suicidal for this country to so
On indefinitely cramped in the bonds of
q tariff policy that originated when for
eign markets seemed of no Importance
We are after those markets now-We
must have them-and the only way 10
get them is to offer fair terms for for
eign trade.
A few years ago, or even one year
ago, nothing would have been expected
of meeting of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers except demand
for the highest possible protection. No
tariff could have been too high. Alb
solute prohibition of imports would
have struck the assembled manufac-
turerS as the ideal national policy. Last
week at its annual session in Detroit
the association passed a resolution de-
CltiIlHS THAT the OOJGCl VI ia AZ
latiOn should be to furnish adequate
protection to such products only as re
quire it, without providing for monop-
oily abuses"
But as far-seeing politicians and pro-
ducers become more convinced of the
need of lowering the tariff fence, the in
tereStS that profit, or think they protlt,
by monopoly become more viciously de-
termined to permit no change. They
denounce the reformers within the Re
publican party as traitors, and threaten
t, reduce them 10 the ranks or read
them out of the party.
There is material here for a beauti-
full row when Congress meets. The
destruction of our export trade to Rus
STA gives a little foretaste of what we
may expect when the general Continent
tai boycott against our trade begins to
work, and with that example before
them our exporters will see that the
time has come TO fight for their lives.
They will be backed by the great mass
of consumers, who have been taxed to
support infant industries and think 1t
time for a rest now that the infants
have become giants.
The agitation for tariff reform can
not be suppressed. If President Nc
Kinley is intimidated and Mr.. Babcock
driven out of the Republican party the
result will merely be to make the re-
form again a partisan issue. But be-
fore things get to that pass there will
be fight inside the Republican party
that will eclipse anything in that line
that has been seen in that quarter since
the impeachment of Andrew Johnson.
