When You Admire a Girl in Peru.

When You Admire Girl in Peru.
 For a young Peruvian to be seen on the street with girl, other than from his immediate family, no matter how well he might be known to her, would involve either marriage or coffee and pistols for two. If you are not content with gazing, you had best follow the custom and purchase as many photographs of her as you may desire from the stock kept on hand in the shops. If you hesitate to pay the price asked you as foreign CT, you must be prepared to meet the indignation of the clerk that one of Lima's fairest daughters should be so cheaply held. Perhaps, as the senor desires the pictures merely as sou venirs, he would be satisfied to accept others at lower prices-lower because they are ostensibly cheaper prints. But Senorita X wears vacuous expres- sion, while Senorita Y squints mark edly, and so you pay twice over foi your original choice for the sake of honoring her pretty face. And it is considered an honor, for girls stand ing in the community is judged by the number of her pictures that are sold "a sort of continuing plebiscite to de- eide on the most popular young lady in our midst.

Ten per cent. of the islands pop ulation of three and half million people is Christian. The prevailing faiths are in this numerical order:

What London's Lord Mayor Costs.

The maintenance of the pride, pomp and circumstance of civic state costs the corporation of London yearly sum of close upon 91S,000. The lord mayor receives a10,000 and the in- come tax on that sum is paid for him, while he is allowd 9100 for the sup ply of new furniture, and his robes cost close upon G200. The the rates, taxes and tithes payable on the Man sion House total upwards of 93,000, the lighting involves an outlay of up wards of G570, the water supply costs G1S0, and fire and boiler insurance ab- sorbs G135.

Additional government deposits, to
the amount Of 100000 will be made
In the banks OF the Twin Cities as
soon as arrangements can be made
for forwarding the money. ,:~,:;-=,--.,sc 80
The money will be divided evenly
between the two cities, st. Paul get

same. The deposits in st. Paul will
be made with the regularly established
government repositories and thus the
larger banks will get tho money, but
the smaller banks will be indirectly
benefited.
The determination of Secretary Cor
telyou to help out the financial sftua-
ton in the Northwest resulted from
representations made to the president
and secretary of the treasury concern
ing the urgent need Of money to move
the crops and while the relied agreed
upon is comparatively small yet it will
be of some assistance, and the hope
Is that further government deposits
may be secured.

PLANNING MN / q no RAISE FUNDS
Claim Made That Undue Pressure Il
Being, srousht BY Manufacturers ::
Against Organized Labor. =.

Norfolk. Va, Nov. 1s.-That thsRe
viii be a war to the knife between the
American Federation Of Labor and
the National Association of Manufac-
turers was evidenced at the session
Of the Federation of Labor here. The
federation has already taken the at
gressive by looking to- the establish-,
ment of a fund to fight the manufac-
turers through it's executive council.
The claim is that undue pressure is
being brought by the manufacturers
of the country against organized labor
to the detriment .of. the latter, 1t Is
claimed. The manufacturers; combat
this lis q, statement made by James
Van Cleave, president Of the National
Association i OF Manufacturers, Al
which he holds that the object of his
association is to put labor on q basis
whereby it. may be held responsible
for its contracts. AS an instance be
called attention to the pending suit
in New York Of the Typothetae against
the pressmen alleging the breaking of
contracts by the pressmen.
On this issue made by Mr.. Gompers
in seeking funds to fight the suit
brought by Van Cleave, as president
of the Buck Stove and Range company
of st, Louis, against President Com.
pers and the federation, the Manufac.
turers' association comes out f1atfoot-
ed with the statement that it will fight
the boycott and the blacklist to the
finish. (
The report which had been cfrcu'
lated through the Middle West and on
the Pacific slope that there is short
age of skilled labor in the Northwest
and at the hayward at Bremerton
was denounced as erroneous and
resolution adopted last month at the
meeting Of the Central Labor council
Of Seattle denouncing this report as
untrue and asking the press to cor
rect the impression as far as'possible
was read.
