HAVERIIILL, Mass, Dec. IA. -
Three burglars. after making an I'M
successful attempt to blow open a safe
at Charles p. Boynton's grocery store

upon a tenant by whom they were de-
tected, crossed the river to this city
and engaged in a running fight with
local officers, who had been notified.
The men attempted to hold up a patrol

ing. Apparently none of the shots

THE WAGE QUESTION
United States Commissioner
Wright's Co. Operative Ideas.
PRESENT SYSTEM WILL PASS AWAY
Cooperation VIII Take Its Place.
Labor Question Means the Strug-
gle of Humanity For High
err of Life.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. IA. The
wage system will pass away. In its
stead. | believe. there will come a sys-
tom which will be COMPOSED of the
profit sharing and the cooperation
ideas. The great labor question means
the struggle of humanity for a higher
standard of life. The employer must
consider his employee as well as tie
stakeholder as an investor"
These words were contained in an adj
dress upon The Wage Question" made
by Carroll ID. Wright, United States
commissioner of labor, before the Soci-
ETY. of Ethical Culture of this city.
OF scarcely less interest than his pre-
dlcticn of a new labor system was
Colonel Wright's approval of a plan to
insure labor against incapacity result
ing from accident, illness or advancing
age. The German idea was quoted, un-
der which the employer pays one
fourth the cost of a sick and death BEN
eft policy, the employee one-fourth and
the government one-half.
England" said Colonel Wright, has
taken up this system, and we Of the
United States are steadily approaching
it,"
Continuing, Colonel Wright said:
Capital charges to the the
depreciation of property and machin-
cry. Why should not the depreciation
of labor machinery-its hands. its
bruins, its body-be included in the
final COST
I'VE see in every progressive commu-
nifty that the demand of the working
men is no longer for a wage sufficient
to enable him to keep body and soul to-
gethsr.
Labor has been taught TO feel that II
Is a social as well as an economic pow
er in the community. and this educat-
ing process has gone on until the de-
mand for labor is for a reasonable mar
gin beyond that fixed by the iron law
of wages.
"The wage system will pass away.
1t is, as has been shown. unsatisfactory
in many of It's applications. 1t depends
too largely for its equities upon the
generosity and great m~indedness of
NAhIAoJClSs Ina ~ AAaAS oatAt
who would scorn &c influence the votes
| or actions of their employees and who
would be incapable of taking petty o
great advantage of their workmen ~
happily trus~ Thd there are others,
however, who M Use of their pppoE-
tunities proves th}
system and argues for 4 greater meas
ure of independence for those who Ia
| Dor.
The system that will take the place
| of that under which mere wages are
| paid probably will be composed of the
profit sharing and cooperation plans.
The work people will then acquire the
interest of investors, the more capable
will rise TO their opportunities. and the
less worthy will find their level"

DREAM OF THE MINER.
Always Expecting to Stumble IN
Colossal FOrtunc--Bnt His Best
Finds Are Small.

The first men in the mines wire {
an the Sunset Magazine. Like Corte.
and his men, they expected every day
every hour, to come upon untold wealth
Men really expected TO find houses OF
gold, OF at least nuggets as big as barns
| remember that | always, day after day
year after year, expected, some time
and in some strange and sudden way
to stumble on a colossal fortune. Yet
If l should receive 25 cents a day fol
what work | did in the mines there
would to-day be quite a balance to my
credit, and a hundred thousand miners
could say as much.
No. the mines never paid the men
who worked them greatly, whether in
this rich camp or elsewhere. But the
gold that was dug out contributed to the
wealth of the world and carried it OF and
up, so that no one should now complain.
The great big Jumps Of gold, however,
were never found. You can search the
gold history of all Australia through and
through, as well as California, and be
surprised to learn that there was never
yet a single lump or nugget of gold found
too heavy to be handled by even a wom-
an. Many nuggets were found, 1t is
true, that we're very promising in weight
and size, but that vas all. Yet they
were like alluring beacon lights, and
every new nugget, or new and rich de-
post OF dust, only excited men the more.
So, like the gold-hunting Spaniards,
they pierced every mountain pass, every
canyon and burrowed in the bed of every
accessible river on the western slope
before they had been here a year. 1t is
a notable fact that all the placer mines
In California were found during the first
three months.

The English language is no station

the Hartford Post, shows this; in fact,
every new dictionary of Importance
that pretends to give the words in the
language in completeness does the same.
The particular dictionary referred to
gives no less than II 600 new terms or
new meanings OF old words. A large
number of new terms in the language al
ways come from scientific vocabularies.
There is also a considerable addition
through the adoption or modification Of
foreign words. AS maps are expanded.

of geographical explorers, so the In

that take permanent place In the Ian
guage. The Spanish war brought many
new words into use in the English Ian
guage in this country.
Among the new words that the up-to-
date dictionary must consider are such
terms as DOGGY, a term in golf; border
