TAIL-ENDERs EASY PREY.
The Superbas Have No Trouble De.
feating the Reds.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 25.-The Brook
lyns scored another easy victory over the
much abused tail-enders today. The Reds
were as powerless before Donovan as
they were before Hughes and Kitson the
two preceding days. Heisman, an anna
teur of local fame, started in to pitch,
but in the second inning he was fele1
by one of Donovan's swift inshoots which
struck his temple. This forced his re-
tirement, although not seriously injured.
Four runs were made off him in two in
ings, but these were founded on errors
of his support, Suthoff replaced him,
this being his third game in the last
four days. He was touched up for four
singles in the fifth for cluster of five

BROKERS OF LONDON.
A Modest Class Who Do Not Advertise
Their Business.

Speaking of stockholders in London
the Daily Mail says they have little in
common but desire to avoid public
advertise his business. and he shrinks
from advertising himself. The New
York broker rejoices tosee his name IL
print. but the London broker, before
a newspaper reporter, insists upon
promise that his name shall not be
mentioned. This modesty, however,
only holds good so far as the stock eX
less due largely to that mysterious fear
of the autocratic committee, which
only finds parallel in the schoolboy's
awe of his master, or in Russian ed
likes to see himself mentioned in So
ciety paragraphs-he is even susp cted
OF occasionally seeking this and he
enjoys the publicity that comes from
sport. speechmaking. subscription lists
and prospectuses. He used to be con-
tent with a small business and regard
ed himself as well off with an income
which now some of his clerks would
despise. He did his business on con-
sentative lines; he liked to stick to in
vestors. and by cold watering spscula
tory- especially spectators in small
wayne did much to encourage the
bucketshop. with its tapes, its covers,
is knavery and its false hopes All
that is now changed. Stockholders
have more than doubled their number
and competition has brought down
their commissions. They encourage
their clients to speculate by all legiti-
mate means, and they frankly confess
that they cannot live by investment
alone.

Connecticut Booming.

The annual report for 1900 of the
state labor commission of Connecticut
shows a remarkable advance in all de-
partments of industry for that year.
The commission asserts that facts
prove that connecticut is the most
complete and ingenious industrial sec
ton of the world The figures GER
tainly show extraordinary advances.
The average daily wages rate of me-
chanics and laborers for 1900 was
$l.52. against $l.40 in 1899 Yearly
wages averages $452.04, against $4,000
for 1899 There were l0S,7S2 laborers
reported, representing 435,12S persons
supported by the business of the state,
or a little less than half the popula-
ton Wages paid in 1890 aggregated
S3S sos SAG, an increase of 1874 per cent
over 1896. The shoe trade has per-
ceptibly decreased; woollen. silver and
plated ware industries have retrograd-
ed slightly. During 1900 245 new fac
tory buildings were erected and the
number of mill operatives increased
1866. In Connecticut there are 269
separate labor organizations, with a
membership Of l4,244. During the year
between two and three per cent of the
wage earners struck, and $2,09l was
disbursed by strikers.

OppreSSiye Labor ConfracfI.

The killing of negro farm laborer
in South Carolina has brought to light
an oppressive form of labor contract In
use in at least one county, under which
negroes are practically held in slavery.
The agreement which ignorant blacks
are induced to sign gives to the en-
ployer the power of Imprisonment and
the right to sell the services of the
signers to third parties. In accordance
with this kind of contract negroes are
confined in stockades to keep them to
the fulfillment of their agreements. and
are treated like convicts. The killing
of one of the victims, apparently for
trying to escape from stockade, has
aroused a Columbia judge to attack
this system. and in his charge to the
grand jury he denounces it as worse
than slavery
The unreliability of negro labor will
probably account in large part for the
creation OF this Illegal contract system.
Farmers in the south cannot depend
always upon their colored employees to
work continuously through season
The negro does not take his RESPONSE
bilities as seriously as the white man
does. He is often known to weary Of
his task at the most critical time in
the gathering of crops and to so oil
and seek amusement while the cotton
or tobacco perishes through neglect.
Southern employers Of labor say 1t is
necessary to have a rigid contract OF
some kind in order to keep colored la
borers from defaulting on their agree
ments. This is undoubtedly the ex-
cuse which the South Carolina plant
ers will give for their oppressive sys-
tenn

Paternal'sm In Glasgow.

II is when he is single that the Glas-
gov workingman need spend little on
the necessaries of life. The corpora
ton has devised enormous common
lodging houses, at varying prices, but
much cheaper than corresponding
places in London. Private enterprise
has followed the municipal example.
The man can for from 3lR to 8 pence
a night obtain accommodation of the
most comfortable kind. With little
cubicle to himself. and with abundant
common rooms, everything he wants
is at hand, says the London Mail.
There are fires and cooking utensils
for him. with attendants to clean up
after he has done. He can buy raw
food at cost price and cook it himself
or he can, If he prefers, buy cooked
stuff at low rates.
If the Glasgow workman is left a
widower he can so to the municipal
family home, where each of his chill
dren will be cared for by trained
nurses, fed and tended while the father
is earning his living. for shilling and
10 pence week. in addition to the
fathers house rent of shillings and
. pence per week. If the man dies the
wife can earn her living while finding
food and shelter for herself and her
children in the home at even lower
rates.

say whether he would be eligible for
membership, but he very carefully out
lines his plan, as follows:
Something is certainly due to the
husbands of women who are constant
ly in the public eye. 1t is unfair to
them that all the glory that is lying
around loose should be boarded by
their better halves. In many instances
they have to work hard to support their
wives, and the accumulation of glory
merely adds to the burden. Just a
plain woman is worthy of any mans
effort, but woman wrapped up in
the self-importance that usually ac-
companies fame is nothing short OF a
terrible load, and as some slight rec
ompense for his labors in her behalf
the husband should have little of
the glory shed upon him-at least
enough to let the public know that
such man exists. TO this end | think
a Reflected Glory club should be or
ganized, and it seems to me it would
be quite appropriate to make Mr.. Will
helmina of Holland the president Of
it, with either Mr.. Ella Wheeler Will
cox or Mr. Charlotte Perkins Stetson
as vice president. They are all estim-
able AID accomplished gentlemen,
believe, but in the language of the day
they do not seem to "cut much ice"
just at present. Among the charter
members | would include Mr.. Alice
Blackwell Stone, Mr.. Carrie Chapman
Gait, Mr.. Mary Elizabeth Lease and
Mr.. Carrie Nation. No doubt some of
your readers will be able to suggest
others who should be included in the
list, and | think you would confer
lasting boon upon some very deserv
ing men if you would give little
space to those who are entitled to
place on the roster of the club. If l
think of any others | certainly shall
send in the names as mere matter OF
justice to them.

speeding repairs. About year ago
congress appropriated $4,000 to en-
able the commission to do little work
along the proposed line, and the re-
suits have been so valuable that a
greater sum for a much, more compre-
hensive inspection is asked for. The
great number OF persons directly, and
the greater number indirectly con-
cerned, whom 1t is proposed to benefit,
can be appreciated when it Is noted
that on June 10, 1899, there were 92S,-
924 persons employed on United States
railways. During the year ending that
date 2,2l0 of such employees were
killed and 34923 were injured in rail-
way accidents. The number of killed
and injured in coupling and uncoupling
cars was somewhat less in that year
than in the year preceding. Tables
given in the report comparing accident
statistics in 1898, 1897, 1898, 1899, and
partial statistics for 1900, show on the
whole some decrease in the number OF
aStiuShto III 1909 lvVV. III iooo, III
coupling and uncoupling cars, the
ratio of killed and injured to the num-
Der employed was; Killed, | in 349;
injured, | in 10. In 1899 these ratios
were: Killed. l in 563; injured. l in
%. The commission also says that any
estimate of reduction in the number
of accidents due to the adoption Of
these safety appliances must take into
account the changes in conditions since
1893, when the law was enacted. At
that time the average train load was
about 1874 tons, while in 1899 it had
risen to an average of 24311s tons. The
small cars and lighter locomotives
then In general use have given place to
much heavier equipment.-Pennsyl-
