STILL IN DANGER.
Rev Nr keller's Condition Is Still
 Very Serious.


 New York, Feb 9.-Friends of Rev John A. Keller, the Arlington rector who was shot on Sunday last by Thomas 4. Barker, were told yeSter- day that his condition still is very seri- ous. Orders were issued that he should be seen only by Dr Eyton, Dr Strasser anu Dr EaglCtCn.
 "There is still grave danger said Dr EXton, ''that Mr Keller will lose the sight of his left eye and be totally blind for life. l want it plainly under stood that. notwithstanding previous reports. We consider Mr Keller's condi- ton as very serious, though We are doing all possible to prevent any com plications. Mr Keller is not out of danger
 Ill view of this uncertainty as to the rector's recovery. Prosecutor Erwin cannot decide whether or not lie will present the case against Mr Barker to the grand jury next Friday. If Mr Keller recovers the case probably will be tried before Judge John \. Blair. in the court of common pleas. If the rec tor dies Judge Collins will try the case in the supreme court.
 Only about q dozen women respond ed to d call for q mass meeting. to be held yesterday afternoon in Arlington. to discuss the case. Those who went to the toWlf hall had not learned that the meeting had been abandoned. They expressed the opinion that Mir Keller Uxls innocent.

It has been about i've years III court and Is almost as coupIlca ted now as was the larsonS case d month before 1t reached trIal.

All who are interested appear to be de SirOuS to bring the case 10 d speedy termination. The point which appears to engross the interest of all at pres ent is whether or not Hr Carter bought the property for Mrs Ney or did he buy ic With the understanding that she was to have only q life interest in it. The reports of the sale say that it was understood that he bought it for ner. However, the title is in his name at present. The property was sold far below it's market value. the idea being to recover for certain cX- l;enspS the city was put to i'll making puhlic Improvements in the vicinity of it's location.

Higher Wages
 For Everybody,

It is true that this country is grow ing rich very rapidly. But it is also true that it is only getting rich in certain spots. A fertilizer is no use if left in one spot; it must be scattered to produce good results. There are business concerns which are making money very fast and they are paying as small wages as other concerns whose competition is so great that they are making no money and can not afford to pay good wages.
 It seems to Us that if concerns that are making good money would be more liberal in paying good wages the prosperity of the people would be more general. It is upon the peo- pie that are getting good wages that the prosperity of the merchants de bends and this would be a good sub ject for the Merchants Association all over the country to take up. If the phlanthropiSts of this country would increase their pay rolls it would be the best religion they could practice. Big profits and small wages has brought hell on earth instead of Heaven. Everything points to q pros porous year. 1t is always a good sign 10 see the Furniture business start with q strong demand for Parlor Suits. This is what it has done and We have q magnificent line from $2O up. Our complete stock of House Furnishings should be seen by every economical purchaser and We have courteous and obliging statesmen who will take delight in showing you. Our liberal terms will make the buying easy for you.

Brussels. Feb 9.-M. MaenhOut call ed attention in the chamber of repres- eDtativeS yesterday to the petition presented to the house in favor Of arbitration between Great Britain and the Transvaai for the purpose of stop ping the war in South Africa. M. de Favereau, the minister of foreign affairs, said he had no objection to the reference of the petition to q con- mittee, but, he said, he was bound to inform the chamber that ill his opinion the authors of the petition were mistaken ill regard to the mean ing of Article NNNII of the Hague convention. He added that mediation could only be proposed when circum- stances permitted. There now ap- peared to be no opportunity for it.. He referred to Great Britain's answer to the United States and the subsequent declarations of Chancellor vou BulOw and Nj. DplcasSe. the French foreign minister. Even Holland, he said, did not consider herself able to take the initiative. Nj JanSon submitted an order of the day favoring intervention. M. de t'aVeroaure repeated that Belgium s Intervention was Impossible. and the order of the day was therefore un- necessary Nevertheless, the chamber. by q show of hands, adopted the order of the day. as proposed by NJ.

however were endeavoring to locate the
