 Then, on October 3, Mrs. Vanderbilt formally announced the engagement of her daughter to the Hungarian. Almost at once flowers and telegrams and per- fumed notes of congratulation began ar irving at the splendid Breakers. Miss Vanderbilt and her fiance drove out the next morning on Bellevue avenue. New ports Fifth avenue, and were recipients of dozens of cordial bows and hearty con- gratulations from the society people still left in Newport.
 Mines a love match" declared Miss Vanderbilt to those of her intimates who asked her pointedly about it. 'I hope you all will like him. because he's one of the finest in the world"
 Mrs Vanderbilt was all smiles, but it didn't seem that the Vanderbilt boys went out of their way to be cordial. Reginald left town and Alfred followed soon after. They were polite, but not bit exuberant, and Reginald went as far as to frankly admit that while he hadn't a thing against the count, he wasn't very strong for the match. As for Cornelius. he managed to have business in Chicago.
 But Miss Gladys didn't care a bit.
 There were parties every day for her self and her fiance. The cottagers still staying on at Newport gave dinners and

NORWEGIAN LABOR CONDITIONS.
Emigration to America Has Caused
 Improvement

Washington, November 11.-(Special )- Consul r. S. s. Johnson, in the following report discusses the condition of the la boring classes at the Norwegian port of Bergen:
 The rate of wages of workmen such as laborers on roads, railroads, buildings and similar work. has. during the past few years, greatly advanced the causes are many, the chief being the large exodus of young men to America. Such labor is done by the young men who come from the interior in search of employment and who, by their industry, frugallty and economical habits. have, in a way. en- tirely monopolized all branches of rough manual labor. They earn from E cents to $1 a day.
 Agricultural laborers earn from c to cents an hour, but are not very numer- ous During planting and harvesting times more women than men are seen in the fields. The rate of wages earned by hechanical laborers is comparatively high. Thus, skilled plumbers get 55 to 60 ore GOO ore equals 1 crown, which Is 26.S cents) per hour and coopers 40 ore per hour Upholters are as well paid, while carpenters and bIacksmths earn somewhat less cl0 ore per hour). The wages of artisans in other branches of work vary considerably. The best jour neymen tallors receive 45 ore per hour, while those of inferior skill receive 35 ore per hour, according to their ability. Print CTS (compostors) earn about 8 to 10 ore hour and shoemakers from IS to 20 kroners per week. Masons are paid. by the hour at the rate of A ore per hour, never earning more than to 5 kroners a day. Detailed lists of wages paid to seamen and in the metal and machine wood and building. clothing and aliment industries, compiled by the consul. as well as q price list of food necessities, are placed in the public reference files at the bureau of manufactures.)
 The conditions of the laboring classes have during the past few years greatly improved. The improved system adopted by the schools, well as compulsory at tendance, has been productive of good re- suits. The laborng classes are frugal and industrious, destitution being rarely found among them. They are contented with little. The living of mechanic with q family, including the rent of tenement and cost of clothes, etc., consumes al- most his entire earnings.
