grace was present at certain party
given by famous American newspa
per owner and millionaire by way of
housewarming his new palatial offices
on the Thames embankment. The host
was pointing out to his distinguished
guests the various beauties Of the es-
Establishment, charging especially on
the splendor and cost of the grand
staircase of alabaster and onyx.
Every fine, indeed, Mr. A." at last

by these encomums Extremely fine,
SO much finer than my staircases at

Battle abbey is situated near Battle,
Hastings, Sussex. The town received
Its name from being the spot on which
the Saxons, under Harold. were de-
feated by William, duke of Normandy,
at the battle Of Hastings in 1906. Aft
er the battle William the Conquerer
founded magnificent abbey to COM
memOrate his victory. The high altar
in the church is said to have stood on
the very spot where the body Of the
Saxon king was found.

quick delivery. Money was nothing
No machinery was apparently beyond
the price the electricity company d.
rectors were willing to pay. Orders
extended. to the United States. whence
full working plants were ordered, the
one condition being quick delivery.
Naturally, the price Of iron and coal
promptly rose. Ironmasters and coal
mine owners made money hand over
fist. So also rose the prices Of steel of
all descriptions-rails sleepers, fish
plates. girders. rivets, wire and other
such things appertaining to machinery.
Up went copper, lead, crude gum. cot
ton. all things necessary In fixtures Of
electricity.
Wages, especially for skilled labor,
rose Immediately, and the electrical
companies were called upon to face q
budget very seriously larger than any
thing which their original calculations
were based upon.
Thus when the electrical enterprises
came to standstill all other branches
or trade connected with them likewise
suffered. There was no more call for
machinery and the like. From all over
the country came reports of large In
dustrial concerns. each alike telling
the same tale of bad trade and dimin-
ished receipts.
The piteous lament Of women and of
the workman's family today rises
from one end Of the manufacturing
portion of the country to the other
Thirty-fve thousand workingmen are
idle in Berlin alone.
All over the country is the same cry.
What is more. sad though it be, that
lament is likely to be heard still loud
err, for every day masters are reducing
the number of their hands because
there Is not work for the hands to do.
And with this the poor people have
winter upon them.
