At a table in the Manufacturers club the other evening several manu- facturers were gathered, discussing subjects with great interest and with as great impartialfty. The talk switched in time te the question of wages and all had more or less to say On that point
 One of the men who employs hun dreds of workers was called on to tell what he thought Of the increased cost of living.
 well" he said, Y know that my men are constantly asking for more wages and saying that they cannot live on what they earn. but one of them gave the richest excuse for raise that have ever heard.
 He came into the office a few weeks ago and said that he had just been married and wanted more money. In a spirit of jest I said to him: So you want to take home more money to lit tie wife? That's what you want the raise for, is it?
 "'Oh, no, sir he replied. T want the raise for myself. The wife knows how much I am getting now. sir, and I can't knock down any of my present wages: sine gets it all. I need the raise for personal expenses
 Well. you men can easily guess he got that raise; he is too blamed honest to let get away."-Phiiadelphi Times

 smith, who Vas on the slab for the Colts, was pitching masterfy ball and had famed eight men and had allowed but single measly hit during the six the Colts when the first three men up hit n a row and the next two men were easy outs and then the two sue ce eeding men hit safely. but the third reach home on Doescher's hit. Score, 3-1 in favor of Litchfield.
 In the last of the seventh D'Andrea rapped out high hard fly to the cen ter fielder, Smith drove out slashing two bagger, but was thrown out on Petrick's strikeout by Gagian to Mo ran, who tagged Smith with a bad rap over the kidneys as Smith was trying for third.
