What do you think of Moran?
Moran? Moran? I never heard of him
till the other day. How can think any
thing about Moran? Women haven't any
head for such things. A woman ought TO
stay at home and look after the house.
The happiest woman is the one who sits

No, women ought not to bother their
poor heads about politics.

CHURCH VAUDEVILLE TURN.
Startling Innovation to Draw Attend
ance in New York

auce In new York.
telegram from New York says: Vaude-
Vile turns, as an adjunct to religious serv-
Ice, have been introduced by the Rev. DR..
Frank M. Goodchild. pastor of the Central
Baptist Church, in West 42d street, and last
night the congregation listened with what
were apparently feelings of mingled interest
and surprise while woman whistler war
bled three tunes in the intervals between
the reading of the Word and the sermon
Dr. Goodchild believes in the efficacy Of
advertising, and the last number of Gist
ms church's paper, announced that it was
the purpose Of the trustees to do all that
could be done to make the services of the
church attractive.
1T has been decided" the announcement
read, Ito add to the musical program on
Sunday evenings some bright musical at
traction that may serve to enliven the ex-
cruises for our regular attendants, and also
to draw into our service those who might
not come otherwise"
So the members of DIR. Goodchild's con-
gregation were prepared for something I'M
usual when they assembled last evening.
They saw grand piano on the rostrum
under the choir loft and in a front pew
young woman whom they recognized from
her Autographs, which hung in the lobby
of the church, as Miss Ethel NJ. Palmer,
artistic whistler
Miss Palmer had her own accompanist
and when it came time to do her first turn
she stepped briskly to the rostrum. A mo-
ment later bird-iike notes Interpreting the
"Mazanillo." by Robyn. were chasing each
other through the building. There was no
doubt of the artistic rendering of the num-
Der, but the privilege of applauding which
is accorded theater audience was denied
to the congregation. SO the turn" was re-
ceived in silence.
Miss Palmers second number was the in
termezzo from 'Cavalleria Rusticana," and
this was followed by Tobani's Hearts and
Flowers" SO familiar to al students of
semi-classic music. There was a little stir
among DR.. Goodchilds hearers after the
whistler retired, and it was noticed that
many settled back in their seats, their faces
bearing an expression of relief. 1t was evil
dent then, as was proved by bits of CONVEX
sation heard after the services were over
that there was some uncertainty in the
minds of the pastors flock as to the pro-
priety of the performance, and they were
glad it was over.

Sugar, oatmeal and other grocery sup
plies have advanced at corresponding ra-
ito, while. the best grades of milk have
made even greater advance. Since the
new dairy trust, known as the American
Farm Produce Company, began absorb
ing the creameries and milk companies
throughout the country the price of all
dairy products has steadily advanced.
Last week the price of certified milk sold
by the Slawson-Decker Company was adj
vanced from u to Is cents a quart. The
increase in the price of some milk, espe-
cialIy for small children, is even greater.
The modified milk sold by the Walker
Gordon concern two years ago for II and

quart In many families of moderate in

schools.

HIGHEST IN TWENTY YEARS
Wages Have Been Raised Only in
Some Instances.
COMPARATIVE PRICE OF FOOD
Rent, Ice and Coal Have All Advanced
Situation Of the Aver.
age Family. itG

A telegram from New York, quoting from
Dun's review, gives a picture of the in.
creased living expenses Of the average
family in this country that is decidedly diff.
ferent from the official report of the COM
missioner of labor issued just before the
election According to this report the liv-
ing expenses of the average family In this
country have reached the highest point
In twenty years. In New York city the in
creased cost is greater than in most other
parts Of the country. because. in addition
to the advance in all household supplies,
Is the marked advance in rents, the heav-
lest burden the ordinary resident of New
York has to bear. f"*r
Many Of the large employing corporate
of the country are realizing these facts and
are voluntarily advancing the wages Of
their working forces. In this city the wages
of nearly every class of skilled workmen
have been increased from IL to 30
per cent since the LIST day of last January.
carpenters, bricklayerS, painters and other
artisans have been granted new scale
commensurate with the increased cost OF
living, and employers promise their men
that IL business prosperity shall continue
other advances will be made.
This Is the situation with those who be.
long to the trades unions, but there is an
other class OF salary earners and small bus
mess men who are feeling Just as keenly
the pinch Of increased living expenses and
who do not have the leverage of organized
labor to procure for them a commensurate
advance In their income.
Landlords and dealers in family supplies
say that 1t Is this latter class which is suf-
fering most severely from the new condi.
tons and from whom comes the most COM
planning. 1t is the lawyers clerk the STEM
ographer, the man employed in mercantile
work. the middle class professional man
and business man whose rent and house,
hold expenses have been increased while his
income remains the same, who is groaning
under his load.
Labor Gets More.
In most cases the unskilled laborer is re-
ceiving more pay than he got two years
ago or year ago. The advance in SER
wants pay is one of the important items
which goes to make up the big total of ad-
vanced cost in the average home.
For the last five years nearly all sup
plies for the home table have been steadily
increasing, but within the last year nearly
everything has gone up from 10 to % per
cent.
Here are the comparative prices of a few
staples taken from Park e. Tifords quota
lions showing the difference between the
prices of November ~, 1905, and November

There is certainly no need at all Of any
talk about the following Of a club in any
city that has two major league clubs. As
the schedule is almost entirely non-conflict-
ing, there is no reason why each club
should not have the entire support of the
baseball loving public. The people who
like base ball will go to either ground IL
the game Is properly conducted and II the
clubs are of kind that merit patronage.
1t has been proven beyond cavil that two
clubs are good thing for any city large
enough to sustain base ball all the year
round. There was never less reason for one
big league than there is at the present time
Greater New York now has three of the
strongest clubs 1t has had since the Ameri-
cans came into New York, and all can
