CUT IN SAILORS WAGES.
Men Who Man the Honolulu Fleet
Suffer a Reduction,

The sugar fleet will pay a reduced rate
to it's hands this winter. During the
spring, summer and autumn the general
rate has been $35 a month. Now the best
figure is $50 and the chances are that it
will go to $25 before the month is out. AT
the present time there are more vessels
than men on the coast, and while the
men are ready to work, there is nothing
for the vessels to do. Sailors are on the
beach by the score and with a reduction
in wages vessels that would otherwise be
laid up will be kept in commission. The
chances are that many a vessel will be
run at a loss during the coming winter.

refinery and of two mills For the
broader culture of these men Parson
Irvine had established workingmen's
clubs for reading and debating. He
threw open to them every evening the
parish schoolroom, where they were
invited to read papers and magazines
provided, to play chess and other
games, and were urged to bring their
pipes along and be comfortable. Then
the rector built, out of his own pocket,
on the parish property, small gym
nasium, fairly well equipped, and be-
ing himself an athlete, he give instruc-
lions to those desiring it In fencing
and boxing. All these performances
filled the church, caused the rector
to be adored by the worklngmen and
scandalized the fashionable folk in the
congregation. They are looking now
for likely young man who will
preach, but not practice the doctrine
Of religious equality. AS for Rev. Mr..
Irvine, he is going to minister to
little mission church at Port Moody,
where he anticipates there will be
less fashion and more Christianity.

James Il. How.s Philosophy.

James Eads How Of st. Louis, the
son Of the late James F. How, former
ly vice-president of the Wabash Rail-
way company, who refused to accept
a fortune on the grounds that he did
not earn it, is in the city as the guest
of the Rev. Riley M. Barrett, says an
Evansville dispatch to the Indianapolis
News. Mr.. How has been visited by
many people since his arrival here, and
to all he explains his peculiar philoso-
ply of life. Mr.. How was asked upon
what he based his philosophy and he
replied: 'Oh, that is very simple
Suppose we should be walking down
the street and find 500 note, and
could not find the owner. To whom
would that money belong? We would
have no right to 1t by the mere fact
of finding It, That note would repre-
sent somebody's labor Whoever that
might be would be the real owner, and
he should have the money. But hun
dreds might have labored for it, and to
them all it belongs, and they should
have 1t. The wealth l have inherited
represents the labor of hundreds, aye
thousands. I had no part in produc-
ing It, and hold today that while the
title may be vested in me, l am only
the trustee for the benefit of those
who produced it. The great work OF
the new century, on whose threshold
we stand today, is readjustment OF
social conditions, so that absolute JUS

at the head of a social colony at Cop

of Daily Life. He is on his way to
Copville to superintend the work in
the colony, and he expects to devote
most of his time thereto.

Model Towns to Live In.

In Prussia the towns present a spec
tacle of autonomy and freedom from
bureaucratic influence which may well
excite our envy. The town council OF
Dusseldorf, for instance, extends its
authority over a far wider sphere than
any corresponding body in England.
The town council Is at once town coun-
Gill; school board and poor law author
ity. The extent of it's activity Is won
derful. Waterworks, gas, electric
lighting, electric tramways, docks and
harbors, slaughter houses, ice manu-
factories, cattle markets, cemeteries,
art museums, theater, opera house,
concert halls, hospitals and orphan
ages are among the many enterprises
of the municipality. 1t is not neces-
sary to promote bills in parliament.
What the council thinks good for the
town is carried out without delay.
There are no vexatious inquiries and
in most cases no veto exercised by the
government departments. 1t will in
terest our readers to learn that loans,
as rule, are borrowed for 100 years,
and that the capital invested in some
Of the working class dwellings is
spread over still longer period. The
factories in Dusseldorf are distributed
around the suburbs. People passing
through the central part of the town
would never suspect their presence.
Working people, therefore, it will be
seen, pass outward to their work and

Cheap Homes for Poor People.

"The good that men do lives after
them" as is we'll exemplified by the
practical helpfulness of Mr. Peabody.
The trustees of the fund he established
for building healthful and cheap homes
for poor people in London has recent
ly made its report, In which it has
shown that it has provided healthy
accommodation for no fewer than 49,
562 persons, the average rent of each
dwelling being only As. Cd. per week,
and of each single room rs. I'd. The
value of such housing is perhaps best
illustrated by the fact that the average
weekly earnings of each head of a
family occupying rooms is but 23s.
In the Peabody buildings both the
death rate and the infant mortality
rate, which is justly regarded as the
most significant" are below that Of
all London.

Among the innovations suggested
by the Lake Carriers is an insurance
for seamen who sustain injuries, or
lose their lives, during the navigation
season. 1t is proposed that certain
percentage Of wages shall be withheld
to be applied to this fund, and that
members of the association shall also
make contributions. This proposition
is deserving Of hearty approval. Sea-
men as class are improvident The
manner in which they spend their
money is proverbial Many of them
have families ashore who are depend
ent upon their earnings, and while
the government provides free hos
pital for injured seamen, there is no
temporary provision for the family de-
prived Of its support. In case life is
lost the family is often left in sore
straits. More or less opposition will
be encountered from the men who will
derive the benefits. Their pay is small
at best, and any reservation for in
surance will be regarded as a hold-up
in the interest of some other fellow.
for the average seaman does not eX-
pect to be lost overheard or drowned
in sinking ship. Once established on
a sound basis, the insurance plan will
not only become permanent benefit
for class which needs protection, but
it will become popular with the very
men who oppose it.-Detroit Evening
News.
