The temperance of the author of
"The Workers" marks the September
number of Scribner's Magazine. When
Walter A. Wyckof began that nara
tive every newspaper of Importance in
the country commented on his remark
able experiment. Last Summer Mr..
Wyckof transferred the field of his in
vestigations to England. At the same
time that Mr.. Vanderlip was investi-
eating the financial and commercial
conditions for the Magazine, Mr.. Wy
ckof was studying the social effects
of the American Invasion upon Brit
ish workmen. Having been a workman
himself, and moreover having the
training of a scientific student of So
cial questions, he was able to gather
and, in his first article, to present with
vigor the London Wage-Earner's pres
ent conditions and prospects. This
Introductory article will be a revela-
ton to those who look on East Lon
don as a vast slum. Mr.. Wyckof
found there a clean, orderly, self-re-
specting and progressive body of
~wage-earners, ready to compete intel
ligently with the American workman.
More of Mr.. Wyckof's remarkable de-
auctions will be published in coming
numbers.

Washington, Dec. 9.--The first move
of the state department in the trouble
that prevails in the American legation
at Monroyia, Liberia, and which
brought about the shooting of Thomas
J. r. Faulkner by DIR. j.. r. A. Cross

Ellis, of Kansas, to succeed James Rob-
ert Spurgeon, of Kentucky. as secre-
4ary OF the legation. Ellis nomination
was sent to the senate by President
Roosevelt on last Thursday. 1t has not
been confirmed. He is in Monroyia
and is a party to the difficulties IN
which The minister has become in
yolved.
Further investigation of the troubles
between Minister Grassland and Faux
ner, developed the existence of a SEN
eational condition Of things in the
American legation. From all accounts
in the possession of the state depart
ment the legation roof sheltered num-
ber of warring factions, and for all the
department knows they may be there
yet. All the parties concerned are
American negroes.

Removes SILK Petticoat IN Street Sdr
to Cover Shivering Child.
Omaha, Dec. 9.-With more than a
dozen astonished but admiring passen-
gers looking on, a society woman Mon
day afternoon arose in a street car, re-
moved her silken petticoat, and wrap
ped it about the shivering form of an
infant 2 years of age. The woman was
Mrs. Harry Cartan, of 1906 Burt street,
formerly Miss Sadie Nash, and
daughter of Millionaire Nash, the sec
retary and treasurer of the. smelter
combine.
Mrs. Cartan boarded an inbound car
at Thirty eighth and Cunning street
The car was without fire, in spite OF
the zero weather. In one corner of the
car sat man poorly clad and who held
on his knee baby. The little childs
feet and legs were entirely bare and
blue from the cold. The father had a
beaten look, as tho the world had used
him roughly. An eye witness states re-
gariing what followed:
1T was just beginning to dawn upon
me that I might do something beside
stare when rustling attracted my gaze
to Mrs. Cartan's corner. She had her
hands behind her, under her cloak and
the next thing knew she was standing
erect in that car and permitting to slir
from her heavy. rustling petticoat. AS
it fell she stopped and caught 1t In he1
hands, then. holding to the straps, she
stepped out of it and walked down the
asile to the man and baby. STOPPING
over, she snuggled that garment about
the infants legs, smiling into the child's
face and remarked to the father, I'm
afraid the baby has scarcely enough on
for this weather."

question of investigating measures
that would tend to provide against a

recently to deal WITH
Il take exceptions" said Mr.. Moore
"to that portion of the report which
suggests that the secretary Of the
treasury should redeem all silver dol
lars now outstanding in gold. There
are now outstanding $S0,000,000 in sill
yer coin and 467.OOO,00O in silver cer-
tificates. while there is only S114,000,00O
in gold in the treasury with which to
meet any demand made upon the sec
retary for the redemption of the silver
dollar.
Il now come to another and, to my
mind, most serious point. 1T is that of
counterfeit money. We stand face to
face with situation that is a menace.
A silver dollar can be made today by
a mechanic as well as the government
can make it, and in which he has only
to put SO cents worth of silver. The
manufacture of counterfeit silver dol
lars is carried on in this country on
much larger scale than is generally
supposed.
rs not the temptation we offer the
counterfeiter too great? 1t is not un-
reasonable to believe that there are
40,O0O,000 counterfeit silver dollars in
cluded in the number that we ask the
secretary of the treasury to redeem in
gold"

Judiciary committee is changed. When
Mr.. Littlefield was placed at the head
of a sub committee of that committee
Epecially designated to consider the
trust question speedy remedial leg1sia-
fion was promised. His bill proposing
rublicity has been carefully considered
for months and is probably acceptable
to the majority of the house. Ii was
s,,pposed that it would be promptly
reported, but it develops that there is
division of opinion in the sub
committee concerning the propriety oil
n,tting thru the publicity bill as
senarate measure, to be followed later
nv other legislation. The members are
,nc,,ned to the opinion that there
should be no i'll considered action and
that the committee should thorougniy
digest all the trust legislation proposed
at this congress. The democrats upon
the committee share this view.
A proposition to invite the authors o.
the numerous trust bills to appear pc
fore the committee to explain the mer-
its Of their suggestions is likely TO De
adopted. The committee may a!so can

HARDSHIP IN WATER FAMINE
Residents Of Nebraska City Work to
Restore River Supply.

Nebraska City, Dec. 9.-The resi-
dents of this town suffered much in
convenience from lack of water, ow-
ing to the sudden changing of the
course of the Missouri river. All de .
pendent on the citys water supply
were forced to resort to wells, and this
supply was inadequate. With the ex-
ception of the packing housS, which
has pumps of it's own, the manufac-
turing plants are closed.
Every available man, irrespective of
today, although the thermometer was
lowering about the zero mark, ana
working by shifts tried to cut chan
mel to the river through the sand bar
which has cut off the pumping station
from the river. distance of 1000
feet. The work was necessarily slow
although large force of men was
at work. If this should be accam-
plished there is considerable doubt
whether sufficient supply of water
can be obtained.
The women of the city were kept
busy carrying hot coffee and food to
the workers.

Impossible.

ion of gas in the South Wilkesbarre
mine of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
Coal Company today number of men
have been killed and rescuing parties
are meeting with great difficulty in
reaching that part of the mine where

action of fire damp. The list of dead is
placed at seventeen. The number of
men burned will reach eight. There is
considerable excitement at the col.iery.
Relatives and friends of the entombed
men are gathered in large numbers and
anxiously awaiting news from below.
South Wilkesbarre mine is one of the
most gaseous in the anthracite region.
Extra precautions have always been
taken to guard against an explosion.

the carelessness of one of the miners
who let stick of dynamite fail. 1t
exploded and the gas was ignited.
The names of the killed are:
Robert Humblebee, carpenter.
Arthur Jones, company hand.

The men had been lowered into the
shaft, which is 110 feet deep with a box
of dynamite, weighing fifty pounds.
When the bottom of the shaft was
reached Phillips took the box off the
carriage.It slipped from his hands and
fell to the ground. The concussion ex-
