Has Many Misfortunes.

William Glenn and his son, Edward,
who live alone on the outskirts of Kau-
kauna, had Il narrow escape from burn
ing when they lost their dwelling the
other evening by fire. Nothing was saved
from the burning building which was in
s,lrel very lightly. Mr.. Glenn's misfor-
tunes seem almost overwhelming. His
wife died recently, followed by the death
of his only daughter. He will suffer
much by the fire, coming as it does, in

Death Indicates Murder.

The body of Cornelius 1Onkers of

employed by one of the ice companies
and disappeared on a recent evening. The

LABOR DAT.

It couldn't have been union rain that fell yesterday and made Labor Day so wet and disappointing. But whatever kind 1t was, it was efficient in spelling the pleasure of thousands who had planned for various kinds of fun. There is but one thing to do when it rains like that, and that is to let it rain. That was what was done yesterday, and perhaps because of the permission given the rain stopped sooner than it might have done had there been any attempt to stop it.
 We'll. never mind. Let's go to work again to-day. and be thankful that we have work to go to. There will be other Labor Days, and few more sad dening ones than yesterday. So we can hope.

GARDEN CITIES.

In England there is an active move ment. to help poor people and people of moderate means to escape from city 1 life. The idea is to provide for the surplus population of large cities by the creation of smaller towns, with rural surroundings and ample air space, sit uated in the heart of the country at some considerable distance from the
 large towns. The new towns are called garden cities" The agricultural de- pression has been favorable to this movement, for the value of land even within a comparatively short distance of London has greatly diminished in consequence. Again, electric traction has enormously reduced both the time and cost of travel. The movement for improved workingmen's homes in Eng land is fostered by national housing reform council. Very lately the chair
 man of that organization opened some new municipal cottages erected by the town council of Southwold, in Suffolk
 These cost less. than $750 each; they are of red brick and roofed with tiles, have five rooms and nice garden, and are let at self-supporting rental of four shillings, or a shade less than dollar, week. Probably, however, they are without the many conveniences that would be considered essential in this
 part of the world. It is held that there would be no difficulty in reducing the cost Of building by 20 per cent. if the work were carried out on a sufficient scale and with suitable appliances. In discussing the preparation of land for building purposes it is remarked that the expense of fencing roads and sew CTS and other contingent outlays cer- tainly doubles, if not trebles, the origi- nal cost; not less than 20 per cent. of the whole area must be set aside for roads,. footpaths and public purposes,
 while it probably would not be possible to place more than eight or ten cottages With 8 fair-sized garden on each acre.
 As to transit conveniences, it is said that, with modern facilities, it might be possible to convey the workman sixteen to twenty-five miles into the

GETTING CREWS IN NEW YORK.
Foreign Masters Have Trouble Because they Won't Pay American Wages,

Foreign Masters Have Trouble Because
 they Won't Pay American Wages.
 European marine periodicals have
 lately devoted much space in complaint of the difficulty experienced by masters
 of foreign vessels to engage crews in | American ports. Incidentally it may | here be added that American ports in | general and the port of New York in particular, have been described to read- CTS across the Atlantic as suffering chronically from an insufficient stock | of available mariners. In order to cure a disease, according to medical
 authority, it Is necessary to remove the cause, and the cause Of the foreign shipmasters' failure promptly to secure l the necessary seamen in the port of Ntw York, for instance, is not due to a | scarcity of unemployed seamen, but to said masters refusal to pay American | wages to men hired In American ports.
 To pay the wages of the port, and no foreign ships captain need fear that the demand for seamen will exceed the
 available supply, although true it is
 that the United States government is
 not extensively engaged in the manu- fracture of seafaring men.
 All foreign maritime nations of prom
 thence see to it that their stock of off, cient mariners does not become deple- ted, and rigidly enforced laws compel
 ships masters of these several nations
 to engage boys, their number propor- tionate to the size of the craft and the number of able seamen carried. Thus
 it is that British sailing vessels carry
 "apprentices;" a German crafts crew
 is not deemed complete without the
 presence of several Leichtmatrosen,
 and no French ship worthy the name
 leaves port without a mousse. : The numerous multimasted fore and
 alters flying the Stars and Stripes are
 manned by able seamen. But the cap-
 tains of these schooners are not com
 pelled to hire boys and ordinary sea-
 men. Why should they be? Is it not
 well known fact along the water front that a foreign seaman especially one made in Sweden, is highly prized in the American market? And such an A. B. securing a berth in an American schooner under five hundred tons car- rying capacity earns twenty-five do1- lars per month, while the men before

NO SECRET MARRIAGES.

A new law passed at the last session of the general assembly will to a great extent put stop to secret marriages within the limits of Connecticut. Sev- eral marriages of Meriden people who have been married in other towns and kept 1t a secret from their friends for several months have occurred. This has been very nice, but in future peo- pie who desire to keep their marriage a secret will have to go out of the state to have the ceremony performed.
 The new law provides that: "Wher- ever 1t shall appear from the certificate | of a birth, marriage or death filled with any register of births, marriages and deaths, the residence of the parents of the child born or the residence of either of the parties to the marriage or of the
 deceased was in some other town in this state or any other state at the l time of said birth, marraige or death, said registrar srall at once make a cer- | tifed copy of said birth, marriage or death and transmit the same to the registrar of the town in which said parents of the child born, or either of | the contracting parties to said marriage or said deceased were residents at the time of said birth, marriage or death. "s t* Any registrar of births, mar l riages or deaths in any town in this
 state receiving such certified copy of a birth, marriage or death from a reg istrar, of a town or city in this state or tany other state, shall record the same" | It will be seen from the above that 1t will be impossible to keep secret a marriage for any length of time, as the
 registrar of any town will receive mo-
 tice of the marriage of any resident of his town and make 1t matter of public irecord within a few days after the
 marriage of any resident of his town
 and make it matter of public record
 within 8 few days after the marriage takes place.

THE RETIERD HOTEL KEEPER
His Remarkable Tale About His Most
 Remarkable Guest.

His Remarkable Tale About His Most Remarkable Guest. About as odd guest as I ever had in any house I ever kept" said the retired hotel keeper, was regular boarder who lived with me once who was very fond of pie.
 "There was nothing extraordinary in his fondness for pie. I have known plenty of other men that liked pleas it turned out there were lots of them right there in that same house with him, but there was something re- markable about the extent to which MT. Jillbigton-that wasn't his real name, but it's near enough to it-al- lowed his fondness for pie to carry him.
 We had in that house at that parti- cular time a pastry cook who was just a wizard on pies. She could and did make pies such as mother used to make every day in the week, and we used to keep up with all the new pie material as fast as it came into market, and so our house came to have more or less fame for it's pies, just as any hotel or restaurant is likely to get more or less permanent reputation for some particularly excellent features of it's cooking, and all our boarders were very fond of our pies, and none more so, of course, than MT. Jillbigton.
 And that pleased us, of course, for we liked to have our boarders satisfied. but pretty soon the very superior quali- ty of the pies turned out by our pastry cook got us into trouble, the immediate agent being our friend MT Jill took to calling for second piece,
 "Now, you understand, if ours had been ordinary pies, with only limited demand coming for them, it wouldn't have made any difference to us what ever if a few scattering pie fiends had occasionally called for an extra piece; but as we were situated, with the

steamers are put into commission, small wonder that the experienced sea- man declines the invitation of a foreign captain whose employers would object % such wages as obtain under the American flag. With the exception of coasting craft, this countrys merchant navy being rediculously insignificant, foreign ships have necessarily to be chartered to carry the yearly increasing volume of freight. One such company, to give case in point, the Union Cas- tle Line of London, operates a fleet of steamers between New York and South American ports. Though said steam CTS hailing port is London, there port Of discharge is New York, and it is in l the latter port that a crew must be hired each time steamer of that line is ready for another trip to Africa. The captains of that line are probably among those who circulated the report l that New York was insufficiently sup piled with seafaring men.
 Having given an idea of the rates of pay as they obtain under the American flag, herewith is list of the monthly wages of the crew of a Castle liner: Steward, $35; cook, $30; second steward, $15; second cook, s15; messboy, $125O; pantryman, s7.50; carpenter, $12.50; boatswain. $25; lamp trimmer, $21.50; sailor, $2O; donkeyman, $25; oiler, $22.50; fireman, $21.5O; deckboy. s10. The off, cers are shipped in England and re- main on board till the ships charter expires.
 One of the reasons of the Unted States lack of merchant marine com- mensurate with her size and wealth Is the impossibility to successfully com pete with nations whose seamen do not object to being paid the low rate of wages shown above.
 Obviously, those wishing for an in- crease in the American merchant fleet cannot synpathize with the difficulties experienced by foreign captains when in quest of cheap crews along the New York water front-Marine Journal.

BETTER THAN NOTHING.

The friends of silver haven't much to cheer them nowadays, but they can take mild pleasure in the fact that the season of the year has come when there is demand on the treasury de- partment for silver dollars for the pay ment of wages to crop harvesters in the West and South, particularly in the latter section. The negro laborers$ of the southern cotton fields prefer the sil- yer dollar to it's paper representative for a number of reasons, the principal one being their familiarity with that coin. It is also said that so many have, been deceived with confederate bills that there is a prejudice against accepting paper, especially among the more ignorant. As a whole the people of our nation prefer paper to coin.
 But even with this demand the treas ury department is not able to keep in circulation as an average one of these cart wheels per head of our national population.
