DECEPTIVE PRIVILEGE OF LABOR.


 A few illustrations of this win make the meaning clear. Some yeaRs ago. in Buffalo. N. Y.$ a girl about eigh- teen years old named Kinsley, was em-
 plOyed in the factory of one Pratt. She was at work on very dangerous ma chinery, which had no safety guards to protect. her from injury, in spite of :, statute of the state requiring such ma chinery to be guarded. The girl got her hand caught in the revolving wheels, and t was crushed and torn
 so that it had to be cut off at the shoulder. The statute which required these safety guards on this machinery had been passed at the urgent insis-
 tence of New York labor unions so that working men. and women, by such ad- ditiOnal precautions enjoined upon their employers. should have safer places in which to do their work. This employ CT, Pratt. had violated this humane statute, and by this violation this young girl lost her arm. She sued Pratt for damages. and got a verdict from a jury in her favor. The highest court of New
 York took away that verdict and dis missed her case. The court said that
 the girl fully understood the danger to
 which her employers violation of law had exposed. her. She had the right" 1t declared. to assume the risk of in- jury and keep at work at this machine
 notwithstanding the danger to which
 she was exposed. The judges said that because she kept at work. knowing the danger. she was presumed to have agreed with her employer to waive any claim of damages from him in case she was hurt She had a right to do this. notwithstanding the requirements of the statute which ordered him to protect her safety Instead of giving
 this girl the actual and substantial right which the statute provided for her instead of declaring she had a
 right to work in safety-they gave her an academic right, the right to work in i danger, to accept danger and suffer by it without redress.-GeO. W. Alger. in the March Atlantic.

THE MOUSE IN THE AUTO
Description Of Trap That Gives the
Captive Ride After It IL
Caught.

Now It Is an automobile mousetrap.
It is made Of perforated tin and has
three wheels. The wheel in front IL
several inches in diameter and resem-
bles the wheel in q squirrel cage,
says the New York Sun.
When the mouse has entered the
trap and taken the bait, thus closing
the door behind him, . little passage
leads him to the big wheel in front.
Here an ingenious Arrangement allows
him to get in but prevents his getting
out Of the big wheel once he has en-
tered.
In his efforts to escape the mouse
sets the big wheel to whirling. This
rests on the floor and acts like the
driving wheel Of q locomotive. In q
minute the mouse H. spinning about
the floor.
Just why It should be thought ad
visable to give the mouse an auto
mobile ride after he il caught thu
mousetrap dealer doesn't know. What
il more to the point with him IL thai
the little novelty has attracted good
deal Of attention and hence sales have
been frequent.

Rivers Under Deserts.

The desert places are flowing with
rivers. The great Sahara, to the south
of Algeria, is deriving great benefits as
the outcome of q government irriga-
ton mission, which has been intrusted
with the task of boring for water at
considerable depths. In many parts
abundant springs have been met which
rise to the surface and enable cultiva-
ton of land which has long been
waste. Some of the borings may reach
q depth Of from 1850 feet to close upor
1000 feet. Already It is possible In
certain of the palm groves in the oascs
to get double the water formerly avail
able.

RICH MEN m THE CHURCH.



The rich man in the church, was the
theme Of sermon last evening by Rev.
DR.. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor Of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church. He de-
clared that churches should not become
clubs. and should not exist only for the
wealthy or the cultured. His subject was
1.-THE Man With the Gold Ring"
THE man with the gold ring usually gets
the front seat" the speaker said. Some
times he takes it and sometimes 1t Il given
to him. but he always gets to the front, be-
cause the gold ring hypnotizes. The church
has no right to become a club. and 1t
should not find It's home only among the
wealthy and cultured" He pointed out
what he termed the obsequiousness Of the
world toward money.
1.-The business man says, Money talks: :
the gambler. Put up or shut up the
scholar. Money Is eloquent; the racer.
The bay in yellow wins the day. and the
idler, The canary Is still the finest bird.
Gold Is worshiped in all climes and by all
classes without single hypocrite
Our verdict upon the man depends upon
our knowledge about the ring-where did
1t come from? How did he get It? Honest
toll has reward beyond desire>or knowledge
of ancient wealth. But colossal fortunes
often use dishonest means. Hundred-gate
advantage opens to the hard hand of
power Many man would be ashamed to
give publicity to the methods of his for
tune. Monopoly multiplies the gold rings.
Even great thieves may wear gold
chains, while little thieves wear iron ones.
Money Is not virtue. 1t may buy diploma
or scepter, but 1t cannot bribe the keeper
Of the heavenly gate. The figure Of the
apostle Is literally 'be-gold ringed in bril-
liant clothing Haunting and the very mar
rative pictures the vulgarity of wealth in
every age.
s,vT-t-
place so high that an ass laden with gold
may not reach it."

AdITAr1oN OF QUESTION.
BARRIERS Discuss Scale Of Prices To-
Shaving.


Shaving.
The question of the ten-cent shave ar the
fifteen-cent shave was agitated today
among the union BARRIERS Of this city. It
appears that some Of the shops are pro-
ceeding in accordance with the scale of
prices adopted by the BARRIERS Union at a
recent meeting-ten cents for q straight
shave with five cents extra for neck shave,
hot towels and other ''trimminGs,,-while
other shops are charging the price adopted
by the association Of master barbers-fif-
teen cents for shave with the extras in
cluded.
1t was reported that some of the union
workmen gave up their Jobs today in cases
where the bosses refused to put the union
scale into operation in their establishments
and that the matter will be taken up In
earnest by the journeymen at the next
meeting of their union, Wednesday even
Ing, December 5. with the prospect of a
walkout unless one or the other sides re-
cedes from its present price scale.
Mr.. Laurence Day, who conducts a
union shop on 11th street. took issue with
Mr.. Doyle and other officers Of the Master
BARRIERS Association as to the fifteen-cent
scale being the best Mr.. Day contended
that the union, rate was the fairest for all
parties involved. 1t does not bear down
heavily upon the customer who wants a
straight shave end who can Ill afford to
spend the extra nickel demanded by the
other scale. Whereas. he added. II Gus
toner desires the hot towels or the neck
shave he can have It by paying the five
cents extra provided by the union rate.
MT: Day believes the fifteen-cent rate is
unfair discrimination against the public
and declares he and his. customers are
satisfied with the ten-cent shave as pre-
scrtbed by the union.

to the already extensive list placed at the

the completion Of the new government
printing Office, over 1900 persons signing
the visitors register since the first Of last
February. Several times day parties are
conducted through the office by the guides,
under Chief Doorkeeper Harris. and an
opportunity given to witness the workings
of the plant. Especial interest is shown
in the process Of marbling paper in the
bindery and the operation Of the type
setting machines on the fifth floor
The recent proposition to establish a
weekly pay day at the office Is said to have
met with practically universal favor until
1t became known that 1t involved the use
of time clocks" Employees are said to
fear either the compulsion Of ringing In"
before the whistle has blown on their own
time, or the loss Of the time incident to
standing In line awaiting an opportunity
to register. The present system involves
a circuit of the division by the assistant
foreman or timekeeper and checking those
employees at their posts of duty.
