drownings was when the launch foated
to the beach, near Edge Water Park,
late Saturday night Cries for help
had been heard by campers along the
shore, but no assistance could be given
in the darkness. The launch is believed
to have been caught in trough of the
lake, heavy wind prevailing during
the night. When the boat was found
it was stripped of every thing that
could be used as buoy for the occu-
pants, and there was hope that some
of the party might have remained
af1oat, but Sundays developments in
dicate that all went down to death. The
body of Hartner was found on the
beach Sunday afternoon.

Balloon Against Autos.

The Partisan Aero club has instituted
a new sport in that city, in which bal
looms and automobiles are pitted
against each other. From the Aero
clubs park a balloon is sent up to go in
the direction of the wind a given dis
tance, about 25 miles. Half dozen
other balloons start in pursuit OF 1t,
and at the same time as many or more
automobiles start from the same point
to capture the balloons as they
alight. The excitement of the aerial
race is keen in itself. To IT is added all
the thrills of a race on land. In the
first days games only two balloons
were caught.

For Nine Hours.

New York. Sept. 3.-President Will
liam L. Jencks, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, Friday night
announced. that the elevated railroad
employees Of Manhattan and the Bronx,
at their all-day meeting Friday, voted
as unit to strike If such action is
deemed necessary. In the afternoon
while the men were voting, E. P. Bry-

superintendent of the same company,

After this conference Mr.. Bryan gave
out a signed statement in which he

ployes growing out of the decision to

Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
If all the banks and wholesale
houses were to close for four successive
days in this country we would think
the world was coming to an end.
Labor is at the head and wages have
been good and work fairly steady, but
there is beginning to be a reaction.
Among the smaller manufacturers
there are many failures. The constant
demands of the union leaders. the ever
increasing number of holidays has
made it impossible to run a concern
with any profit, and there is strong
influx of immigration toward the
states. In consequence of this there
is much idleness among the common
wage earners.
The country at large is now support
ing many on the great ranches or sta
tions as they are called, for after seven
years Of drought there is abundant
rainfall and work there is plenty.
With the domestics the problem is
practically the same as with u.s. The
faithful Abigail is but a memory. In
stead there are two classes, the regular
servant OF high wages and exorbitant
demands and a new class--sprung up
from the same fields as the sales
ladies, namely, the lady help A good
servant must work and keep her place.
AS is only too common nowadays,
though, such servants are scarce. and
for home in moderate circumstances
the wages are impossible
For these there is the lady help.
These are ladies in reduced circum-
stances-that is always the first thing
you are given to understand-usually
working for pin money or for the COM
panionship.
In return for the services of the lady
help you pay her about half the wage
of the ordinary servant, and though
she expects to do your work, yet she
assumes the position of a relative or
visitor in the family. She prepares
| the meals, but she also eats them with

tea. but will sit down with you and
your guests and join in the social cup
and the conversation. Nothing is
sacred from her. She wants her
rights. and these rights consist of a
finger in every pie. You can only
escape her or only have private word
with your family by fleeing to the
uttermost chamber of your home and
locking the door behind you, and then
you had better stuff the key hole.
Deliver us still from the blight OF
the lady help!
