WAGES AN EXPENSES.

A dispatch published yesterday says
that the Chicago Employers Associat-
ion. after receiving reports from a
corps of experts has decided that thu
cost of living has been increased an
average of Is per cent during the last
five years, and that wages should be
increased propoztionately. According
ly general raise will BE put into ef-
feet by all members of the association.
It would be interesting who com.
posed this corps of experts. We are
told that it took them several months
to arrive at conclusion that the cost
Of living had gone up Is per cent.
In spite of the time taken up by their
investigation they do not seem to have
covered the subject thoroughly. If
they had they would know that the
actual increase in the prices of arti-
cles necessary to the comfort of the
average family is nearer % and 50
than Is per cent.
Many article have nearly doubled
in price, while there are abundant ex-
amples of increases as much as 40 and
so per cent. 1t is true that IN rare in
stances the cost OF something has
as to be hardly worth mentioning. At
any rate they cut little or no figure
in arriving at the general results.
Still we do not wish to quarrel with
the Chicago Employers Association
What we desire to point out is that
the wage increase is not in proportion
to the increased cost Of living. On
the principle that half loaf is bet
ter than starvation, the employees who
are to be benefited by a Is per cent
raise in wages should be very thank
full.
Men are very often obliged to work
for whatever they can get With hun
cry little mouths to feed, naked little
backs to clothe, helpless families to
shelter, the man is criminal who does
not turn his hand to anything he can
find to do, when by working he can
at least give them part of the comforts
to which they are entitled. The Chi
cago Employers, apparently want to
be fair, but they are not fair.
In common with the general run CT
employers, they have proiited i'm
mensely by the increased price OF all
commodities, and in ordinary justice
they should make something like an eq
ual division with the people who have
made their prosperity possible.-Sal

THROWING AN OLD SHOE.
This Curious Wedding Custom Is of
French Origin.

This Curious Wedding Custom Is OF
French Origin.
The origin Of the curious custom of
throwing an old shoe after newly
married pair for luck has been traced
back to Il French peasant origin by a
young man interested In folklore and
quaint customs. In southern France,
after the wedding ceremony, the girl Is
escorted to her new home by her girl
friends and left alone. The young hus-
band, also IN the hands or his friends,
is next led to point couple of hun
dred yards away from the dwelling,
where Il halt Is made. Then the girls
rejected suitor, IL there be such a one,
arms himself with an old sabot, or
wooden shoe, while the bridegroom,
ducl,ing his head makes dash for the
house. Tho disgruntled sutton throws
as hard and as true as possible, and
the crowd cheers or derides, according
to the success of the shot. A wooden
shoe Is formidable missile In the
hands of an angry swain, and the
bridegroom is justified in having some
mlsgivings rs he sees his defeated rival
practicing in anticipation of the we'd
ding day. Just think, says the search
err into folklore, how great a relief 1t
would be- even In this country, to take
crack ae the fellow who had done
you out of your best girl without hav-
Ing the police step In! Over in France
the custom has wider meaning. 1t
signifies that the last Ill feeling is thus
.,,,I To he NJ
disgrace for the man who has thrown
the shoe to harbor any further malice
against the young couple.

A TRYING Moment.

She was a nice little cousin from the
country, and she had come to city
luncheon given by some swell friends,
says New York paper. She was hav-
ing beautiful time and chatting away
merrily when the salad course came
on, and the butler passed small
cream cheese. 1t was on dolly placed
on fiat plate, and silver knife lay
by 1t.
The country cousin was busy talking,
and without an instant's hesitation she
took the plate, cheese end all, and set
II down by her own salad plate. The
butler gave decorously repressed
start of horror, the other guests began
to talk very fast and the little cousin,
suddenly approaching what she had
done, turned scarlet and sat and gazed
at that cheese In dumb agony and
wished she could die then and there.
But the hostess, who sat by her, said,
gently putting the action to the word:
"Do let me cut you piece of the
cheese"
And then the plate was passed on,
and everybody began to breathe once
more. But the cousin didn't speak
again for ten minutes.

A Free library.

Tho Trustees of the Stryker Librars
believe that the good accomplished by
the Library can be much increased 10y
making it free for all the citizens OF
Lambertville and moving it to room
on the ground floor of some suitable
building.
Under the present rules, the use OF
the books, papers and magazines is
free to the public, but none can be
taken out except by subscribers who
pay the annual dues of Two dollars.
This Library was started from q
fund bequeathed for the purpose by the
late Samuel D, Stryker, to which was
added an equal amount subscribed by
the citizens. A part of the money was
used for the purchase OF books and
part was invested.
The Library is supported by small
income from this investment, added
to the annual subscriptions and the
proceeds of occasional entertainments.
If its scope aud usefulness be in
creased as proposed, it will be neces-
sary to enlist the interest Of larger
number of our citizens and TO secure
a considerable addition TO tho income
Many of the present subscribers
have expressed Willingness to con-
tinue or even increase tho amounts
they now pay annually If the Library
be made free. and the Trustees ara of
the opiuion that If sufficient amount
can be guaranteed for at least three
years, they can make the Library free
SO that all the citizens of this place
may take out books free of charge. 1t
is suggested that for persons residing
outside the city the same charge be
made for the use of the Library as at
present.
An effort will shortly be made to OBJ
tain the necessary contributions for
this purpose.

Few Left to Tell the Story.

Mrs. Mary A. Beatty, of Merchant
vile, N. j., is visiting her nieoes, Mrs.
R. II. Van Horn and Mrs. s. B. Bray,
of this city. Mrs. Beatty is widow
about thirty-two years. She has lived
to see much of America, both north
and south, and of course has witnessed
| many changes. She was native Of
Philadelphia and with her husband,
Lambert F., followed shortly after his
brother, Ellwood F., gold seeker, to
California in 1s49, taking passage on
the ship North American, manned by
Captain Austin, sailing from New
York. AS there were no steamers in
those days, stopping at various ports,
down and around the Horn" Cape
Horn), thence all the way up the west
ern coast of South America to San
Francisco, their destination for time,
the voyage occupying FIVE months.
During this long period they encoun-
tered dreadful storm off the eastern
coast opposite the mouth of Rio La
Platte. In those days, to avoid the
excitement and confusion incident to
danger, all the ships passengers were
obliged to go below and be battoned
down, on this occasion ten long days,
as living coffin, so to speak. Like
all such adventures, it was soon made
manifest that many things, though
very glittering, did not prove to be
gold. Both brothers, after years OF
fortunes made and fortunes lost, end
ed their career with pleasant expert
ences, positions of trnst and honor,
members of the Assembly and lastly
Elwood f. became Judge of the Su-
preme Court of Idaho subsequently,
Lambert +. sailed for the Sandwich
Islands, where he and Mrs. Beatty
witnessed many strange scenes and
odd ways of the natives, especially 80
in that day, under the administration
of King "Kamehameha" VI. While
residing at Honolulu. Mr.. Beatty,
with his ship, named for the king,
"Kamehameha, sailed over portion
of the Pacific Ocean, prospecting
among the isolated islands in search
of guano. 1t was on one Of these ex-
petitions that he saved Captain Nor
ton and his crew of forty-four men
from starvation, whose ship, the South
Seamen, of Boston, was badly wrecked
on the island French Frigate Shoal.
These poor seamen, nearly famished,
had almost given up the last ray OF
hope, when they were sighted by the
captain of Ramehameha. A token OF
extreme gratefulness was experienced
at this saving of the ships crew. One
instance was worthy of note. A Bos-
ton affectionate sister gave to her
brother Elvin X. Childs, who embark
ed as an officer of the / l-fated ship, a
pocket Bible, which he kept we'll Sc
cured and evidently treasured as the
most sacred of all his possessions. This
little Bible he beseeched Mr.. Beatty
to take and keep as remembrance OF
his brave and noble act that it was
all he had in this world tc give him.
This Bible relic, with a wing Of fly
ing fish, has been presented to Mrs.
r. II. ", which will be added to other
valuable relics in Mr.. VS. collections.
