There has been little change in the
price Of lard, butter, cheese, and pota-
toes, decrease in the price of dry
goods and boots and shoes, and a de-
crease in the price paid for board, the
rates being 1852 per week in 1872, $4.75
in 1881, $4.62 in 1897, and 1891 in the
first quarter Of 1902. -.
Putting the case in another was,$1
bought 1918 pounds of flour in 1872,
1870 pounds in 1881, 5000 pounds in
1897, and 38.46 pounds in the first
quarter-of 1902. One dollar bought 2.35
pounds of coffee in 1872, 3.47 pounds in
1881, 3.57 pounds in 1897, and 3.72
pounds in 1902 ~. ......S.s. -
OF soap, 81 bought 12115 pounds in
1877, .14,81 pounds in. 1851, 1881 pounds
Ims16s7 and 1923 pounds IS rs IS OF
roast beef, 81 bought 5:26 pounds in
1872, 5.88 pounds in 1881, 6.85 pounds in
1897, and 5.71 pounds in 1902.
The. purchasing power of the dollar,
therefore, is greater than it was in 1872
and almost at the level of the purchas-
ing power in 1881, but in every case be-
low the purchasing power of the dollar
in 1897. With three exceptions prices
of provisions are lower than in 1872.
The exceptions are mutton, pork, and
potatoes.
The statistics as to the earning
capacity of families show that heads of
families are earning more and children
less. In 1872 many children under ID
years of age were employed; in 1902,
very few. The statistics show, also,
that at the indus trial centers of Massa-
chusetts more families are living with
in their income than in 1897, ,-or in 1872,
and that much larger number have
money in savings banks. .s~.>

Suicide at Aspen.

Denver, Aug. ia Republican dis
patch from Aspen last night says:
While walking in the suburbs of this
city between 8 and 10 o'clock tonight.
J. F. Mcmillan. an old resident. drew
a revolver from his pocket and shot
himself twice in the chest. Both bull
lets graZed his heart and he will die.
Mr.. Mcmillan had but recently re-
turned from private sanitOrium.
where he had been sent to recover his
reason. which left him about II year
ago. He was pronounced cured and
returned to this city about two months
ago. He was prominent and wealthy.
At one time Mr.. Mcmillan was one
of the brokerage firm of Arkell, McAIil-
Ian & Stewart, in Which business he
made most of his money. His interest
in the firm was withdrawn when he
was committed to the sanitorium.
He usually took short walk in the
evening before retiring. and tonight
his mind evidently became unbalanced
momentarily. 1t is thought he carried
the revolver for protection. He has
no relatives that are known here.

here to sail for Europe to morrow. This
is taken to mean that he has practically
retired from active duty as president.
of the steel corporation, and that Mr..

Schwab has offered his private car, the
Loretto said to be the most magniti-
cent in the world. to J. Pierpont Nor
gan for his exclusive use during III.

it is said, has been accepted. The LO-
retto will be started from Pittsburg to
Cresson and Mr.. Schwab and his wife

where the limited for New York will
stop for the car tomorrow.
Mr.. Schwab is victim of neuras-
thenia nervous prOstratiOm according
to medical men who We're in close
touch with him during his recent ILL

thrOpic work undermined him. Church
