Railroad Mems Wages
From Leslie's Weekly.

FIoul lseSileia. w eehiy-
 The United States pays the highest scale of railway wages in the world. This is the report of the bureau of rail- way economics at Washington. It shows that the average daily wage of railway < employees of all classes for 1910 was. in ill Germany, Sl cents, and In Austria, S9 cents. While engineers on American rail- ways receive an average weekly compen- satlon of $25.Sa, the pay in England is s1117. The American railway fremen average $152i. and the English fremen S6.6l These figures will not be disputed. The old world should be ashamed of the meagre wages it pays. It was shown by the testimony at the recent hearing that some American engineers make over S2300 a year. which is more than many clergymen, physicians and business men make But the calling is hazardous and the pay should be liberal We wish il were more. + the pay of the engineers should be Increased, the pay of fremen, brakemen anl conductors will undoubted- ly nave to be advanced.
 We believe in good wages for good mc,i, but the evidence taken by the board of arbitration shows that it will be in,- possible for the railroads to increase wages unless they are permitted by the interstate commerce commission to slight ly increase their freight charges The railroad employees of this country should bear that fact in mind and bring all tlleIr influence to bear in favor of an equitable adjustment of their claims one that will treat the railroads as well as ther employees with fairness.

All Marry on the Same Day

From the New York Telegram.
 In the city of Plougastel, in Brittany. all marriages occur on one and tho same cay. The. men are all fishermen, many of them going as far as the Newfound- land banks. and are at home only dur ing few months in the winter. One day in early February is set apart for the weddings. Little counting is done, but much haggling over the dowry of the girls. They have to bring a certain quantity of linen, chickens pigs and veg etables. Frequently a match is broken eff because q father refuses. to add a sack or potatoes to the dowry.
 On the day set the inhabitants of the entire region go to Plougastel, The whole population attends church to hear mass and to take communion. Often fifty or moro couples are united on the same day. Bride and bridegroom do not walk to- gether until the ceremony has been com pleted For the rest of this and the whole of the next day every house is open to receive guests and to provide food and drink for them. On the evening of the second day the young men carry the dowries of the brides to the houses of the bridegrooms There they dancc and frolic until early morning. and after they leave the couples are for the first time together and alone.

"Newly Weeds and Baby on the
 Orpheum Bill


 One of the features of this week s vaudeville bill at the Orpheum is Jimmie Roser, and his company in The Newly Weeds and Their Baby" in which he takes the part of the haby. He is a wonderfully c,cver nidgt who has starred as Buster Brown and as the Baby in the Dis produc- lion of the Newly Weeds, and he is well known In Birmingham where he has ap- peared more than once with the big shows. The act at the Orphcun includes the cream of the Newly Weds from the big production, and should prove an at- traction for both grown people and chil- dren. Another star act of the bill that children and grown people alike will enjoy is Ray .,ors Boston Buli Terriers, the most won- derful collection of these dogs in vande- vile The act Is a hummer and these ccgs perform tricks which are said to be astounding. They are the hardest of the dog family to train and this fact adds to the value of the act. There are score of the dogs, and number cf them are the aristocracy of dogdom. being prize winnf rs and blue bloods. The act was the bit of the Forsyth bil in Atlanta last week
 With these two chiidren's acts on the bill, the attendance a. the Orphrum will doubtless be the largest of the season at the ratinees. The acts will dray hundreds of children to the house, and it is uni verrally true that the same acts which please children best appeal strongest to grown people. For that reason she man agemtnt expects the two acts named above to be hits at the night rerform- ances.
