WHAT 1T COSTS TO LIVE.
Figures on Expenses in Workmen's
Families.


Washington,-The bureau of labor
has issued a bulletin on the cost OF
living of workmens families, showing
that of 25O7 families in SO states from
which data was obtained, the average
income per family was $S27.19; aver
age expenditure for all purposes,
S76S54 average expenditure per fam
lily for food, $326.9O; average size of
family, 5.31 persons. The last fig
ure is above the average of private
families in the whole country as shown
by the census of 1900.
The food expense is more than AZ -
per cent of the expenditure for all
purposes. An extended investigation,
covering the years 1S90-1902, shows
that the cost of food reached it's high
est in 1892, the average then being
1913 per cent above the average for
the decade 1S90-1S99, and an increase
of 161 per cent compared with 1885,
the year of lowest prices. 1t is ru-
mored as a conservative conclusion
that the increase in the cost Of living
as a whole in 1902, when compared
with the year Of lowest prices, was
not over 161 per cent, the figure CIV
en- as the increased cost of food as
shown by this investigation. This as
sumes, of course, always, the purchase
of the same articles and the same
quantities in years of low prices, low
wages and more or less irregular EN-.
ployment, as in years of higher prices.

was arrested with stylishly dressed
woman, gave his name as George F.
Gibbs. and that Of the woman as Hat
tie Gibbs. His case was continued to
Dec. 16 for further examination.
The woman pleaded not guilty to
the charge of forgery, and her case,
which is based on the finding Of stol-

tinued to Dec. 16. Both prisoners were

traced to his boarding place by the de-
scription given to the police, who found

Romance in RX

Romance is most enjoyed when you

flower that struggles through the
city's cobblestones, and blooms ON the
selfish, cold street Of trade-as the
old.fashioned novelist hath 1t.
Now, the circle Of perpetual resters
in City Hall Park is more tragic than
romantic. Yet even there, where the
ghosts OF high ambitions dance mock.
ingly before many dulled eyes, bit
of youth and romance steals In. And
the slouching ones do not see 1t, and
those more alive who pass that way
are alive only to more practical
things.
Nearly every day during the past
week young woman Of the faded
type-eyes faded blue, hair faded yell
low, complexion faded. dress faded,
hat faded-came to the park and seat
ed herself in the circle. Always just
little before noon she came, and gen.
orally she bought an evening first

frequently broken by sharp glances
around her, and at short and regular
intervals she looked expectantly
toward the eastern entrance. Always
within the half hour before noon she
is rewarded, and her face lights up
touchingly.

esting. AS he comes toward the wom-

clever one. Just the face Of young
man from the country, simple, kindly,
homely and patient. The man is
short and slight. He is about thirty
years old and yet he wears the uni.

He takes his place beside the faded
woman and they hold each others
hands for a moment. There are others
seated close by, and all they say can
be heard. They say only: How are

The Destiny Of Columbia

Their sweetness unmingled their man.
And virtues bright image. ,enstamped on

With peace and soft rapture shall teach
And light up the smile on the aspect Of
woe.
Thy fleets to all regions thy powers shall

Each. shore to thy glory Its tribute un.

And the east and the south yield their
spices and gold;
AS the dayspring unbounded thy splen-
And earth's little kingdoms before thee
shall bow,
While the ensigns of union. in triumph
Hush the tumult of war, and give peace
to the world.
Thus, as down lone valley. with cedar
o'erspread,
From wars dread confusion pensively
strayed-
The goom from the face Of fair heaven
retired;
The wind ceased to murmur. the thun-
ders expired;
Perfumes. as of Eden, flowed sweetiy
And a voice, as of angels. enchantingly
sung:

The queen of the world, and the child Of

NO RESTRAINT.
Briefs Filed In the Merger Case on
Behalf Of Morgan and Others.

Washington-A brief in behalf OF
Messrs. j. Pierpont Morgan. Robert
Bacon and Daniel 8. Lamont. appel
lants, with others, In the case OF the
United States vs.. the Northern Securl-
ties company, was filed in the U. S.
supreme court by Attys. Francis Lynde
Stetson and David Wilcox They
claim that the so-called merger was
entirely lawful, and say:
"These transactions have consisted
merely in the organization of lawful
corporation of New Jersey and the
sale to and purchase by 1t of property
lawfully salable. All acts done in re-
lation to the organization Of the North
ern Securities company and to the
pure hase by it of shares Of stock OF
the railway companies, and to the sale
thereof by the owners. were expressly
authorized by law The legal effect
of the transaction has been that the
owner of stock in one of the railway
companies has sold the same to the
securities company, and has received
therefor stock of the securities COM
pany, which company owns the stock,
not merely of one of the railway COM
panies, but the stock of both, so that
each individual who has transferred
his property to the securities company
has obtained therefor something en-
tirely different, namely, an interest In
company holding stock of the other
railway company as well. 1t is mani
fest that in the fullest possible sense
this constituted sale Of the prop
erty."
Other reasons for their position are:
mo indirect or remote effect of these
lawful transactions upon competition
between the railway companies could
bring them within the federal anti
trust law. The construction claimed
would make the statute unconstitu-
tional because 1t would deprive the
securities company of its property
without due process of law.
"As construed and applied by the
circuit court the antitrust act Ia un-
constitutional in that it discriminates
between persons in the matter OF prop
erty rights and privileges on grounds
that are purely arbitrary and without
justification in reason. The decree OF
the circuit court transcribed the au-
thority of the court under the statute" !"
A brief In behalf of the Great North
ern Railway company was filed by M.
d. Glover, who says that the stock Of
the Burlington railway was acquired
in order to give the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific access to Inn
portant productive centres. necessary
to place them on the proper footing
with other transcontinental lines.
