An interesting story IS told OF a former
judge Of the arbitration court in New
Zealand: The girls in a match factory
came before the court asking for an in
crease of wages. The proprietor said he
could not pay what they wanted. that his
enterprise was in its infancy, and to in
crease wages would ruin it. The court
heard the evidence on both sides studied
the financial condition of the buslnes
and the cost Of living in the city, and
then the proprietor was thus addressed
by the judge. 1T is impossible for these
girls to live decently and hea1thfully on
the wages you are now paying. It is OF
the utmost Importance, not only to them,
but to the state, that they should have
decent, wholesome, healthful conditions
of life. The soul and bodies of the young
women OF New Zealand are of more i'm
portance than your profits. and if you
can't pay living wages it viii be better
for the community for you to close your
factory. 1t would be better to send the
whole match industry to the bottom of
the ocean and 20 back to flints and fire
sticks than to drive young girls into the
gutter MY award is that you pay what
they ask
It is said that though the man presaged
his failure. he oheyed the order. Nor
was he Obliged to close his factory. which

Paris, Oct. 15.-The revelations re-

to make great stir in France on
account Of the side-ughts thrown upon
German policy toward the republic,

here are filled with articles on the

The general verdict is that EN-
peror Williams action in dismissing
Prince Bismarck for counseling In
fidelity to Germany's ally, Austria,
was highly honorable to the emperor,
but nevertheless entailed grave con-
sequences.

Washington, Oct. 15.-In response
to inquiries regarding the status of
the investigation into the affairs of
the Standard Oil company with view
to determining whether the company
is operating in violation of the Sher-.
man antitrust law, Attorney General
Moody said he was not at liberty to
discuss the subject beyond stating
that most of the rumors published re-

without foundation. He added, how
ever, that Messrs. Morrison and Kel-

months ago as special assistants to

cutting their work with commendable
Wigor and care and had accumulated
"a vast amount Of testimony bearing
upon the case.
Testimony Being Investigated.
This testimony was now being gone
over by the department and it was
quite likely that a definite conclusion
would be reached within the next few
weeks as to whether there had or had
not been violation of the antitrust
law.
It is we'll understood that Attorney
General Moody is to retire from the
cabinet and resume his law practice
in Boston on January 1, and 1t is
stated that he himself fully intends to
take the personal responsibility before
he retirss OF initiating proceedings
against the Standard OH company or
of publicly stating that in his judg-

It was also learned at the depart

there was a holding company In Lon

investigation. It is understood, how
ever, that up to this time very little,
if anything. has been learned that
would show any connection between
the London company and the Manhat-
tan and the Standard Oil corporations.

to the Manhattan company could be

that that fact would not be of suth

: Narrow Escape.

st. Peter-Algot Lundberg, farm
hand employed by Sven Anderson of
New Sweden township, had a miracul-
Gus escape from death. He was drawn
into the cylinder Of a threshing ma
chine, but the injuries he received
were comparatively slight.
When the accident occurred Lund-
berg was standing on a footboard di-
rectly over the cylinder, the board
broke under his weight and dropped
him squarely into the mass Of res
volving teeth. His fellow workmen
fully expected to see Lundberg ground
in atoms, but by the merest chance
the machine had been slowed down
for moment, and the engineer was
able to stop in promptly.
Both of Lundberg's shoes were
stripped from his feet and the teeth
on the cylinder caught and crushed
one Of his heels. Had the separator
been running at the usual rate MOTH
ing could have prevented the man
from being torn and mangled beyond
recognition.

The boy had a number Of black

he continued so rebellious that G. D.

said that one boy of the Jefferson
