CREW OF THE EVELYN
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
FisHERFoLK OF AUBoUls RES
CUE SHIPS COMPANY AFTER
A HARD BATTLE.

st. Johns, N. F., Jan. 10.-Captain
Burke and the eight memers of the
crew of the schooner Evelyn were
hauled to safety up the steep cliffs
at Aubouis by the fisherfolk of that
hamlet last night after the Evelyn
had been dashed to pieces on the
lodges off shore. The wreck Of the
Evelyn had left her crew helpless,
as their boats had been carried away.
Hope of reaching shore was slight
until boat manned by fishermen
reached the Evelyn's side. When the
transfer of the crew had been accom-
pHshed and the boat headed for
shore, the wind shifted The small
craft was carried out of its course
and thrown on a narrow shelf of
rock at the foot of the cliffs a mile
down the coast.
Hemmed in by the rocks on one
side and by the rising tide on the
other, the little band seemed with
out way of escape But their fight
for life had been watched from shore
and the fisherfolk hurried to the
cliffs and dropped a 300 foot rope to
the men below, hauling them to safe
ty one by one.

OF the possession of the mere die of the

the detection of a thousand warriors
They realized that without the great seal
they had no authority to carry on the
government of the country in a constitu-
tional way. So much did they feel the
loss of the seal that they offered prayers
in public to the Almighty to help them in
their trouble and perplexity. If these
prayers were answered. however, it was
somewhat beiatedly, for it was not until
three years afterward that the great seal
was recaptured.
All these things have not happened, be
it explained, to the identical seal. new

at the mint upon the accession of a new
sovereign when the old one goessthrough

monarch, but by long custom it is re-
garded as a perquiste of the lord chancel-

AN EXCESS OF LABOR
BY PAUL LAMBERTH

London, September 6.--(Special.)-One
= of the most interesting weddings set for
September is that of Sir II. MacLean to
Miss Ella Prendergast. daughter of the
late General Sir Henry Prendergast, ".
c., whose death occurred only few
weeks ago.
Because of the bride-to-bes father s
death the wedding will be very quiet
one. Kaid MacLean is one of the most
picturesque of those Scotch soldiers of
fortune who have made history the world
over for centuries. He Is now 60 years
old and his adventures in the past 80 or
more years would make the fortune of a
writer of thrillers. He was subaltern in
the British army. stationed at Gibralter,
when he paid a visit one day in 1876 70
Tangier. where the British minister asked
him if he would accept the post of in
structor to the Sultan's troops. Sir Harry
Immediately resigned his commission re-
turned to Tangier and became the Sui
tan's right hand man.
His most famous exploit was the cap
ture of the brigand Raisul in 1907, when
sent on a mission to negotiate q peace
and pardon for the outlaw. He was
kept in Imprisonment for seven months,
while Raisuli was trying to come to
terms over the ransom to be paid. His
hiding place was always being changed
and he suffered extraordinary privation.
81 was mad with sorrow and shame when
I found myself a prisoner" he declared
after his release. A ransom of f20, 600
was paid for him. His salary as instruc-
tor was said to be $35.000 and he became
Moorish commander-in-chief. He intro
duced bagpipes and the hanson cab into
Morocco. Kaid MacLean married Miss
Catherine Coe, Spanish woman, in 1892

Blue Book Issued

Blue books often contain important in
formation which it is difficult to present
to the general public in a form that will
be easily and Immediately understood.
Unfortunately the public will have no
difficulty in appreciating the meaning of
the important board of trade report on
the cost of living of the working class.
1t is forced upon their attention every
day of their lives. In a sentence the gist
: of the report is that while the cost of
food has increased by 3 per cent. The
working class have had to meet this
change by buying less food or worse
food. This may account for the prob
lem of labor unrest Taking the whole
country the rents of working class houses
have In the seven years period shown a
slight-0.3 per cent. But 1T Is only when
London (where these dwellings show a
per cent decrease) is included in the
calculations that a falling figure is de-
rived, and. even IN the case of the Me-
tropolis the decrease in rent has been
much more than wiped out by the in
crease In the general cost of living.
Retail figures of food and coal since 1906
have gone up over the whole country 10
per cent and taking rent and retail prices
combined there has been a rise of 1913 per
cent in SS towns selected.
The practical conclusion from the data
available is that during 1905-12 there has
been a rise in the cost of clothing prob
ably not much less in proportion than
that of food and coal and rent combined.
the rise taking the form either of in
creased price for the same article or a
lower quality for the same price.
In a survey of the whole matter the re-
port goes on to say: The rise in the cost
of living, as far as the articles covered
by the present inquiry enter into the
total expenditure of the working classes,
is thus shown to have been very marked
in as short "A period as 1862, and If the
comparison is extended back to the year
of lowest prices, namely, 1896, the in
creases of food prices up to the year of
1912 would appear to have been about 20
per cent. The level now reached is, how
ever, no higher than in the early eighties

Labor Surplus in Canada

What in effect amounts to a warning
to both skilled and unskilled workers not
to go to western Canada is contained in
the board of trade Labor Gazette.
In the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatch-
evan, Alberta and British Columbia, says
the Gazette, there is at present a surplus
of workers, especially in the building
trades. This condition has been brought
about largely by financial strlngency,
which has curtailed building operations.
Artisans and unshilled town laborers
are warned against going to any part of
Canada to seek for employment until the
conditions are improved
There is good demand for farm labor
ers, but the demand will continue for the
next few weeks only.
The demand for female servants, both
in town and on farm, continues, but the
demand for trained nurses, governesses,
lady helpers, typists, factory girls and
educated women is very small.
