Laat Of the aWater prInkera.7

The last representative Of the once
famous society Of Water Drinkers
has just died in France in the person
of Leopold Desbroses. ThN deceased
gentleman, who was an engraver BY
profession, was in the habit Of receiv-
ing the members of the society at his
house, where art, painting and liter
ature were the subjects Of discussion
There Murger, the author Of vie de
Boheme, used to resort, and when
his fortunes we're at their lowest ebo
was kept by the hospitality of NJ. Des-
broses. It is said to have been at this
house that Murger met the two char
acters whom he afterward portrayed IN
the famous book and opera under the
names of Rodolph and Schaunard--

Royal Mischief.

Prince Edward of Wales, son Of the
Prince of Wales and prospective heir
to the throne, is just beginning his
education as a cadet at the Royal
Naval College on the Isle of Wight.
Prince Edward, a little more than
thirteen, is entered as an ordinary ca
det, and shares all comforts and dis
comforts with the rest Of the lads.
II he resembles his father at that age,
he is capable of getting a good deal
Of boyish fun out of life. In a book
on the Private Life of King Edward
VII" some of the escapades Of the
present Prince of Wales are given.
Prince George and his elder brother
were rare young toads," as an old
MILDLY remarked. Ihe received their
training on the Scholarship Britannia
and afterward went on a cruise In the
Bacchante They had to rough It with
the rest, and were treated without dis
tinction.
When the Bacchante touched at Ber-
muda, on the famous cruise, the .au-
thorlties Of the island were anxious to
present a bunch OF Bermuda lilies to
Prince Eddy. and anxiously inquired
his identity. Prince George, ever ripe
for Mischief, gave so misleading an an
swes that the Embarrassing bouquet
was presented to several midshipmen
before It reached the proper hands.
When the party went on shore TO
lunch. the two princes got together In
the bow Of the boat and occupied them
selves very mysteriously When they
landed, the assembled natives were
astonished to see their future king and
his brother with noses Of the most
brilliant yellow The two had used
the pollen Of the lilies to adorn them
selves with.
It was probably their enjoyment OF
this Joke which led the two not TO con-
tradict the statement which was soon
after published TO the world. that the

ITALIAN CHEAP LIVING.
Railroad Laborers Able to Get Aim.
on Less Than Ten polla,s 49,


Railroad LabOrors Able to Get Alo,,
on Less Than Ten Dollars a Mon,6
That Italian laborers save more
money at the same wages than anv
other European immigrants is a s,s,s
ment made In report Of the Depar,.
ment OF Commerce and Labor. The
reason Is easily found.
A great majority of the unskiHea Ia.
borers in this country are emploved
in railroad construction and similar
undertakings which are usually carried
on where there are no accommodation
for boarding and lodging the men. Tbe
boarding camp thus becomes essential
to the contracting company.
In the case OF men of all nationall.
ties except the Italians fixed charge
is made for the boarding and lodging
Of each man. The Italians, however.
insist on buying and cooking their own
food.
Investigation of the records Of a con
tracing company employing many Ia.
borers Of various nationallties in rail-
road construction showed that the ac.
tual cost to the company for grocer
les, provisions, and payment for cooks
walters, fuel, light, etc, at its board
i,g camps was 19 cents a meal, or ST.
IS a week for each man. The men
were charged SIS a month for board
and lodging.
Tho IfaNane Of tbo oo,,De - ~,
same company lived mostly on macar-
oni, sausage, cheese, sardines and
bread, macaroni and bread being the
staples, and the others used very spar.
ingly, The average monthly expense
of each laborer was as follows; Twen-
ty-dve one and one-half pound loayes
Of bread at cents So; thirty pounds
Of macaroni at cents, S21O; sausage,
sardines and cheese, $1.5O; lard, 80
cents.
Most Of the Italians, in addition to
that amount, spent an average Of SS
a month for beer, cheap cigars and to
bacco, which, with the expenses Of 81
a month for shanty rent, brought the
total cost OF living up 30 about $40
a month.
An examination of the records Of
three railroad systems in New York,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey for 1905
and 1906 gives accurate figures on the
earnings and cost of living Of large
numbers Of Italians under the usual
commissionary system. The average
earnings for a representative month in
1906 for eighty-nine gangs, numbering
1880 men, were SS7O7. The cost Of all
food was $3.50 and shanty rent and
sundries, Sl.4O, or a total Of $S.7O,
leaving a surplus of sS0.2S.
These figures furnish one OF the
most potent explanations OF the
great amount of money sent by post
office orders to Italy. In 1906 the
amount sent to all countries was $6z5
435,S4s, and Of this SS6,79s,5s2 or
$50 per cent, went to Italy, and the
Slavic countries.
The total amount sent to italy was
16,2S9, ,134, against S20,559, ,42S to Rus

CARELESS PLUMBING.
Outcome Of the Explosion of Oc-
tOber, 1905, in Coffeyville.
Is a Continuation of a Series of
Suits Already Filed.

Independence, Kan, March 18.-Eva
o. Smith has brought suit against the
Coffeyville Gas & Fuel company and
w. S. Upham for $10,61315, for per-
sonal injuries. exemplary damages and
damages to the Willard hotel of which
she was the proprietor at the time of
the gas explosion on Sunday, October
%, 1905, when the Upham block was
Land company's building and the Will
lard hotel building more or less in
jured.
Her petition recites that careless
plumbing by the Coffeyville Gas &
Fuel company, done at the instance
and with the knowledge of w. S. Up
ham, resulted in the blowing up of the
buildings mentioned. The Kansas Land
company's building, owned by Frazier
and Etchen, was between the Upham
building and the Willard hotel. The
shock of the explosion knocked down
the walls of the Kansas Land COM
pany structure and these walls in fall
ing crashed into the frame Willard
hotel
Mrs. Smith was thrown violently to
the floor and bruised and injured in
ternally. She was about to give birth
to a child, and the fall caused prema-
ture birth. Ever since she has suf-
fered great pain, and is steadily vast
ing away.
Carrie Boner has also filed suit
against the two above named defend
ants for 5000. She was in the Frazier
Etchen building when the explosion
occurred, rooming in the upper story
and was thrown with great violence
to the ground. She struck in a crate
used for Grating sewing machines and
was very badly used
J. P. Rossiter is attorney in both
cases for the plaintiffs.
This is a continuation of a series OF
suits fled many months ago, the ma
1Ority of which hive COMPROMISED nv
Upham and the gas company. It was
out OF them that the perjury case arose
which put Al Starring in the county
Jail.
