The Public Has to Pay.

Some time ago the United States
department of labor conducted an in
vestigation in &c cities and 20 states
to determine the average amounts
given in tips to hotel and restaurant
employees daily. Data were supplied
by 1853 hotels and 258 restaurants. In
Chicago the hotel and restaurant as
ISOLATION declined to give any informa-
tion. This led the bureau representa-
tive to believe that the tipping evil is
worse in Chicago than in New York.
In Indianapolis it is shown that the
average daily tip of the hotel bellman
is STAT and the highest for one day
amounted to $2.67. Omaha with II
cents is the only city with lower
average. The highest daily average
was 20 cents. Porters had an average
of 13 cents here. Walters showed ami
average Of STAG, the high point being
1896.
Bellmen receive in wages an aver
age If SIS cents day; maids, "a cents;
p0rters, S1.27, and walters, SLIT, all
with meals and lodging. The bureau
concludes that the public is paying
about tWo-thirds of the salaries OF
these hotels and restaurant employees

The Pay Of Clergymen.

This country could not afford to
have it's attitude toward education
measured by what it pays its educa-
tors.
Still less could it afford to have it's
attitude toward religion judged by
what it pays its clergymen.
The average pay OF clergymen the
country over is 1896 year seventy
eight dollars a month, eighteen dol
lars week!
Think of it, in times like these!
Compare it with the contemporaneous
wage scales of the down-trodden work

And this average includes the rela-
lively few city pulpits which fairly
large salaries. If these were eliminat-

War prosperity and the volume of
money pouring into Japan brought
about a tremendous expansion of in
dustry and with it fever of specu-
lation. The Japanese is a born gam
bier and it is a common observation,
admitted by Japanese themselves,
that their businessmen suffer from a
tendency to ovefextend their enter
prises. The effect of this is to be
seen IN the present situation in which
the Japanese government is urging
the contraction of business and the
curtailment of new operations. In
other words, Japan is now suffering
from the effects of national boom.

Mrs. Kate White Sues
for $4,000.

Mrs. Kate White, 3419 Forest
Ave, wife of Fred White through
her attorneys George w. Blackwell
and Richard E. Westbrooks, filed her
suit in the Superior Court of Cook
County for S2f,0 900 damages against
Abe Cohen (white) and his wife. The
declaration charges that Mr.. Cohen
is prominent broker and resides in
4734 Michigan Ave. That without
any cause whatsoever the Cohens had
city detectives to take in custody
Mrs. White; that the Cohens claimed
to have lost diamond ring for which
they claimed insurance and valued
the same at more than $500. In an
interview with a special representa-
tive of this paper the attorneys stated
that after the Cohens could not col
lect insurance for the ring they inn
mediately produced the ring. The
attorneys state that this case will
be fought to a finish as an example
in having race men and women ar
rested for no fault whatsoever and
on the slightest pretense.
Attorney will again ask Judge Pam
to fix $50,000.00 as the amount of
the bond, and thus nullify the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April IA
Dreams of lily white party in Ten
nessee were shattered in the Repub-
lican State Convention here today
not only by the recognition Of Bob
Church's delegation from Shelby
County, but also by the election of
a colored delegate at large to the
National Convention in Chicago.
The delegation was instructed to
vote for Leonard Wood for pres
ident as long as his name is before
the convention.
Church's fight was by far the most
interesting feature of the convention,
and his recognition came as a sharp
rebuke to both the credentials COM
mttee and the state committee which
yesterday threw out the colored men
in making up the temporary roll call,
Following this discrimination, meet

various organizations all over the
state was called, and there resolved to
carry their fight to a successful is

their strength solidly against the

The stand of the meeting had it:
effect and the next day the Shelby
county delegation was seated. Rober
r. Church has the strongest anC

ton in the South, and the boltins

lilcan standard would have the effec
of multiplying. the Republican vote il
