LITTLE GIRLS PRAYED
That They Might Have Wild Song

Impressed.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. Following
| the indirect disclosure to him of what
| is described as most Interesting
manifestation In connection with tn,
late Bishop Alfred A. Curtis. former
ly vicar.genera OF the archdiocese OF
Baltimore, Cardinal Gibbons stated that
while he had not decided TO call /
council TO investigate the occurrence
he regarded it as both a manifesto
would not go into details, saying that
such announcement should come
from Wilmington. where the inciden;
occurred.
After a life of exceptional piety,
Bishop Curtis died in this city on
July II last, the body being buried in
the grounds fthe Convent of the Wis
itation at Wilmington.
While the cardinal would not dis.
cuss the manifestation, as told in Ro-
man Catholic circles in Baltimore, the
story discloses an immediate answer
TO a prayer offered by two little girls
on the grave of Bishop Curtis, while
still another report is related of the
restoration of sight to a child in Bal
timore after prayer for the dead
churchman and return of sight.
While wandering through the Visi-
tation cemetery, says the report from
Wilmington, two little girls, inmates
of an orphan asylum, espied several
wild song birds futtering through the
graveyard and at once were seized
with longing to capture the song
sters for 'playmates.
Let us pray that We may catch

exclaimed the little supplicants we

Hardly had the prayer been con.
cluded continued the report from
birds flew down to the grave and
on the shoulders OF the little
petitioners. For a moment delight
gave place TO awe at the prompt an

ones FASTENED homeward.
See what our prayer on the
bishops grave brought us" they cried
in their JOY to the sisters as they
fondled the birds

CHICAGO LABOR

BUREAU or STATISTICS
That Fl Get Higher Hour Rate
Than in Any Other
City.

Chicago Dec. l3.-Chicago labor Is
thebest paid in the world II has
been well-known fact that Ameri.
can workers received better hour
rates than the toilers in other lands.
but there has been a general impress
sion that Eastern cities, such as New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, were
most generous in the matter of the
laborers payroll.
Now the Chicago bureau of stats
ties has come forward with figures for
the forty-tiye principal trades showing
that in twenty-one of these the high
est hour rates in eight selected cities
Chicago, New York Philadelphia,
Boston, Baltimore, Cleveland, Buffalo
and Pittsburg-are paid here.
Moreover, the highest wage per
hour paid in all the cities to class of
workers is given in Chicago. The
linotype operator gets an average of
nearly ~ cents an hour in Chicago
which sets him up as The kingpin of
all the American labor in the world
in the way Of wages
Baltimore Pays Smallest.
Baltimore, on the other hand, has
the honor of paying the smallest
wages, giving her woman tobacco
steamers but s cents an hour, which
means Ga cents in union day.
The statistics show one thing quite
clearly relative to the New York sit,
uation. Workers generally believe
that the building trades here are paid
much more than they are in any other
city Yet New York excels Chicago
in wages paid to only three divisions
of this line of effort
The Manhattan bricklayers get 20
cents an hour, as compared with 81
cents and a fraction in Chicago, and
receive cents AN hour
