Barmaids in South Australia.

South Australia is suffering from a
barmaid famine. Two years ago bar
maids were abolished in that state by
act of parliament. No more could be
legally engaged, but these already en-
ployed could remain on condition that
they registered themselves.
There are now only 400 Of them left,
and the competition for their serv-
ices is such that their wages have
jumped from 20 shillings to &3
week. The hotels that have had to
employ barmen report a considerable
change for the worse in their receipts.

against the rebels, sits Gen. Juan J..

captive. having surrendered today,
with almost his entire garrison of sew

en, his head is bowed and he does not
talk, for the bitter sting of defeat has
disheartened him.
Anxious for Peace, Says MaderO.
In another part of the town is Fran
cisco |. Madero, Jr, the conqueror,
surrounded by members Of his family
and staff, exultant with victory, and
anxious to make peace, he says, with

and sincerely with the revoluulonlsts,
