A Clean Business Stroke.


The late Samuel Ward. brother of Julia
Ward Howe. uncle Of F. Marion Craw-
ford. did not need when he was living
to be identified as near of kin OF those
who had gained fame. He was in his
day possibly the most popular private
citizen in the United States. He was
master OF the art of story telling, and
had he been reduced to poverty he could
have earned a large salary as chef Of a
fashionable restaurant. for he knew what
a good dinner was and he also knew how
to obtain the viands and what wines to
secure and. furthermore, how they should
be cooked.
Mr.. Ward was an intimate friend of
James r. keene. and was. in fact, on
cordial terms with almost all Of the men
who had gained distinction and wealth
as miners OF the precious metals upon
the Pacific slope. He had learned many
anecdotes about them. and he understood
not only their strong, but their weak,
points.
One afternoon in the summer of 1887 I
was a fellow passenger with Mr.. Ward
on the steamboat from Long Branch to
New York city. In some way. I think

Ward said:

think a true one. about the manner in
which Mr.. Sutro began his career upon
the Pacific coast. think he arrived at
San Francisco a year or two after the
discovery Of gold in California, IL may
have been several years later. At that
time. while plenty OF gold money was in
circula ign II was always In pieces of
large dissemination. There was one coin
Of the value OF about fifty dollars which
was eight-sided and was commonly called
a slug There were also twenty and
ten-dollar gold pieces. But small coin
was very hard to get and all sorts of
devices were adopted in order to over
come this scarcity.
AS 1 heard the story, Mr.. sutro
brought into California some German
small coin. He brought Il in kegs, pre-
sumo exactly like the kegs in which mer-
chants at the time the big copper cents
were In circulation used to store these
cents until they got keg fun so that

thing new. Socialist parties have al
way upheld such views, but this is the
first time they have gained wide cur

present outlook is that the agitation, as
the war continues and debts pile up,
will grow in strength.
The argument of the Labor leaders
runs like this: why should all men

lives for the State when men not of

are permitted to lend their money to the
state at high interest. the payment of

lions? We do not advance the Socialist
view about capital-we admit that a man
has right to the money he makes. but
we also claim that he has a right to his
life. and when a situation arises which
requires the sacrifice of one mans life
his neighbor must be prepared to give,
not lend. his money. II we are to have

Boston, Oct. 30.-Workingmen of tn ecountry are asked to withdraw sons from boy scout organizations in Q resolution adopted by the state branch, American Federation of Labor last night. The. action came after a report that Charles c.

 If this is to be the attitude of the boy scout movement" the resolu- ton said, 'it is time that the wage earners of the country should take their sons out of that movement, for the reason that boys and young men should be educated on liberal lines and not narrow ones."

 Department records show there are about six hundred employees in the European consular service whose salaries are $1.OOO year and less. Tn most instances these are natives en1- ployed as clerks, stenographers or similar positions whose expenses are naturally less than those of the American emploves. The number of Americans in this grade of employ nient is estimated at about 150, and they feel most the need of financial assistance.
