BOtlABE FACE CAPTURED During the early part of last week an accomrlished Klooichmnn was forcibly taken from her white "hub," at Union wharf, hy her Eucletaw relatives. Doubt - less, true to her pledges, she wished to return, for she left the camp Kt a litlle bay beyond Point Holmes in a dugout, in company with another Klootclirr.tn, nho landed her on the beach near James Knight's place, refusing to take her further. She was now in a woise plighi than Adam and Eye were when turned out of Eden, fnr she was compinionless and quiie lame. Joe Martinnlick, who works at Knight's, happened along and took her in his canoe nnd brought her to Comox. She puured into the willing ear of Officer Anderson, the stnrv of her troubles, not forgetting to mention that the Indians were playing with "fire -vater." Acting on this infnrmalion Anderson together with a special constable,(and "ith this small force numbering 2) boldly sallied forth and cautiously approaching the Indian encampment at High Bay, took it by surprise. Four braves and two "Square Faces'' were captured. They were full 01 whiskey, including the braves The latter were harnessed together and driven into Comox. It was a safe but awfully slow team. Taken before Mr. Drabble, J. P., thev were fined in ihe interest of temperance and tlie provincial revenue, as follows: Billy, $5 and $4.75 costs; Russian Jack, $10 and $4.-5 cosis; Smith, $10 and $475 costs; Yakasina, $25 and $4.75 costs. Billy promptly paid his five and costs, but at last account the others still languished in the provincial hliihery at Comox. Long Tom of Comnx, the Indians claim, furnished them with the "square faces" and he was promptly put under arrest by the vigilant officer. It is to be hoped that when Tom comes to be tried it will leak out how he came by hiB peculiar "merchandise."

S. Pheasant, passed up last Thursday and shortly afterwards the sound of her guns brought us all out on to the wharf, where we could see the full effect ol ber cotton shells. The first fell squarely on the centre of Brooklyn Suspension Bridge, and that beautiful creation of man's genius wat seen to quiver, and then fall with its varied traffic into the river below. The next struck one of the sky scrapers, supposed to be thc Mills' building in Wall Street, and in a moment the ait- was full of enormous masses of stone nun and brick, hurled in all directions within a radius ol 1,000 yards; and where there had stood a row of stalely buildings there was now but a great gap and pile of ruins. Shortly afterwards flames shot up in different places, no doubt from the shattered gas mains, and fed by thc tons of inflaniable material in the ruins. These were followed by explosions apparently of boilers in Ihe basement of the buildings, which tilled tbe air wuh deadly missiles. And now it was our tortune to behold one of thc most magnificent and, al the same time, most ae-ful cl spectacles, which illustrated, in a way never to be forgotten, the deadly de- sttuctivtnt-is of modern -tarlare. A shot was evidently tired from some very heavy piece of ordnance (probably a 100 ton mortar); fur the concussion of the air was so great that it shook us where we stood. Pre-a-nily we saw the enormous shell soai ing higher and higher, then hovering over tiie city a moment, when it burst: and from it, in all directions, were hurled what must have been smaller shells, winch bursting where they siruck,carried ruin and desolation with them, Spires of churches wire seen to topple over and disappear; whole *tree-s lo collapse as if crushed by .some gigantic hand; and the sky ..as dark wuh smoke and living debris.

Sho ls now Dearly 40, auu hue a grown-up eon and daughter, the uiurriugo of tbe latter b; nig a romance In Iteelf. Mrs. Eorm.au aud ner daughter, Miss Louise Buriuiin, who was thou single unci charming, were boarding at the cottage ot Mrs. James Earle, tn Oyster Buy, Iu tlio summer oi 1801, aud both then met l>r. Newhall. who wae fresh from a college ol dentistry, young, aitabln ana gooJ looking. Tlio boarders were soou tin* best of friends, and lor a time there was some speculation as to whether the dentist's nt tentions were centred upon Mrs. Bonn.ui or net daughter. When the mother nnn daughter returned to their handsome home lo Harlem the doctor followed���not, of course, for any reason other than that he thought lie would secure n greater practice In the elty than in Oyster Bav. Then it became known, as Dr. New- hall said yesterday, tbat Mrs. Bor- man had secured a divorce. That was In July, 1893. In Harlem Dr. Newhall prospered, and in time he moved to East Thlrty-Iourth street and rented larger offices. His acquaintance with Mrs. Borman and her daughter was continued. Then Miss Borman became engaged to a violinist of note. Slgnor Kalten* born, and laat spring they were married. A coldness between her and her parents followed tbe match, and since then she and ber mother have been strangers. So It fell out that when Mrs. Borman returned from a long visit to Chicago, ln December last, sbe and Dr. Newhall were quietly married. The daughter was not among the privileged persons who received cards ol announcement. Dr. Newhall ls now about 80 years old. He and his bride went to Old Point Comfort on their wedding trip, and have Just returned to New York and set up housekeeping. Dr. Newhall, when I asked bim about his marriage yesterday, gave me the history that Is here printed and denied much that had been said of tbe event which, he said, was not of a nature to warrant publicity. He denied thnt Mrs, Borman had accepted a handsome settlement from her lint husband, and said there was no truth tn the report that he had paid oonrt to Miss Louise Borman belore ber marriage, during that romantic Bummer Tit Oyster Bay. " In fact." be said, " she was engaged, I lielieve, to her present husband before I met her. I was ln no sense the ennse of Mrs. Borman's separation. The suit tor a separation was not contested. It was a ease of Incompatibility all around and the matter was easily arranged." HOLMES' APPBAL. It Is Set liowo for the First Monday lu February.

" I know that If I had not begun taking Dr. WIUlnmB' Pink Tills I would not havo lived much longer." Those words wero uttered by Miss Mossop, daughter ol Mr. Johnston Mossop, ot this town, and a young lady extremely popular nmong her friends and acquaintances. MIbs Mossop had been ailing tor several years, and hor recovery to health Is a matter ol genoral rejoicing among her Irlenus. To a reporter she gave her story as follows: "I scarcely know how mv Illness liegan. The first symptom was a feeling ot tlred- ntiss upon the slightest exertion. The oolor left m.v luce, and I becamo as pa lo as a corpse. Then I was attacked with a pain ln my lett side and coughed a great deal. At first home remedies were tried, but as they did not do nny good a doctor was called ln, and I was under his care ym lor about a year. But tlie treatment did not do me any good, and I wbb steadily growing weaker and weaker. I -was unable to go upstairs without having to sit down ond rest when 1 got there, and the pain in my side became more and more Intense. I kept wasting away and lost all Interest in life, and at last was so low that recovery was not expected. At this juncture my mother saw an article in a newspaper relating the euro ot a young lady w*hoso case was almost Identical with my own, and whose cure was due to Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, and this prompted a trial of that medicine. By the time a couple ol boxes were used tliere was a leeling ol Improvement, and I continued using the Pink Pills unttl I had taken nine boxes, all tho time gaining rapidly, until now I feel that I have recovered my old-time health. I can now walk a longer distance without being tired, and I am no longer troubled with that terrible pain ln my side. My appetite has returned and I can now eat almost as much as uny member ol the lamlly, and 1 know that had I not begun taking Pink Pills I would not have lived much longer." Mra, Mossop says she cannot express the gratitude she leels toward this grand m:d.clno which has restoi- ed her loved daughter's health, and will always speak of It ln terms of praise. Dr. Williams' Pink Pllle are especially valuoblo to women. They build up the blood, restore the nerves, and eradicate those troubles which make the Uvea ol so meny women, old and young, a burdsn. Dlzslness, palpitation of the heart, nervous headache and nervous prostration speedily yield to this wonderful medicine. They are sold only In boxes, the trade mark and wrapper printed ln red Ink, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for *&���- RO, and may bs had of druggists or direct by mall from Dr. Williams' Mediclno Company.

Philadelphia Ledger: The cricket bat that hung ln a glass case in the lobby ol the Merlon Cricket Club house, which was destroyed by fire on Sunday, had quite a history. The bat iv as presented to the club by John Thayer, nnd was a relic of the visit of the tirst team to England under the auspices of tho Merlon Cricket Club. Dr. William G. Grace, the world-renowned cricketer, was nt the bat, and was apparently destined to make a long stand, when Thayer, who was brilliant as a fielder, caught him out on a most difficult catch. Dr. Grace, without any formality. Immediately walked out Into the Held and presented Thayer with his bat This act elicited rutins alter round of applause. Thayer, on his return to this country, presented the bat to his club, and the members now bemoan the lact that it cannot bo replaced. AN INSDLT, RESENTED.

Personal RelailoitB��� Kmpress Frederick to Visit the (jaeen. London report (cable letter)��� With a view to ascertaining trom authentic data the ratio of British and German interests ln tho Transvaal, the Uovernment caused tlio Board ol Trade officials to prepare a report on the Immigration Into tliut republic during tlie period covered by the returns ln the Bourd'e possession. The Inquiry ol the Bourd has resulted In the establishment ol the lact that during the last llftecn years only 12.- 000 foreigners, exclusive of the British, hare gone Into the Transvtoall The returns Include Americans, Frenchmen, Hollanders, Italians, and Germans, but do not give the ratio ol eaeti. Tne report will be submitted to Parliament as soon aB it meets, and will doubtless be used as an Important factor tn dealing with the German pretensions ui a right to interlere In the boutn Atrtcan Republic. While the production ol these statistics may assist and Justlly British diplomacy ln rebutting tne German claims, It Is the conviction in oltlclal circles that only tbe strongest and OPEN BELLIGERENT POLICY can avail Great Britain ln lace ol a possible European coalition against her. The crista, so lar as the Trans- vaal Is concerned, seems to be over. Lord Salisbury has cl.nched the position at Delagoa Bay by notl.'ying the Government at Lisbon that the landing ot any foreign troops there will be Immediately [allowed by the occupation ol the place by the British. By Wednesday live British cruisers will be stationed at Delagoa Buy. This procedure rather savors o! a bluff.asfno power threatens to land troops there. bnt it Is part ol the strong hand thut the British Government Is compelled to play. Thongh the crisis In the Transvaal Is apparently over, events ln Europe nre approaching a phase that Is big with the fate ol England. No explanations ot Emperor William s message to President Kruger, of the hostile language of the German official press, or ol the Interviews ot the German Ministers with the Boer representatives, have been vouchsa'etl to Lord Salisbury. There Is reason to assert that he has demanded such explanations, and that orders to prepare the nnw for war were IbpubiI after he had dnly advised Count Von Hatsfeltlt. the German Amhns'ador here, that tho German Government onght to give tho explanations requested. WHAT PROMPTED WILHELM. The abatement ot the hostile tont 01 the German Inspired papers cannot he taken as indicating a change In the Emperor's policy or ol a lessening ol the danger to England. The chiefs of the British Foreign Oiflce have -known for n long time that, In consequence of German diplomacy In the East, Lord Salisbury's efforts to bring about a settlement of the Armenian question has been thwarted, and that Germany has made overtures to Russia in favor of a common policy to check England's expansion In any part of Asia. The key to all this lies In the Emperor's resentment of the policy of Lord Salisbury. While the Liberals were In power the Emperor expected thnt eold neutrality would bo shown towards Germany, but he relied on Lord Salisbury, when he came into power, to enter Into some form ol entente with the triple alliance Disappointed ln this, the Emperor decided to make England feel the weight of German hostility. How far tho Emperor lias succeeded In obtaining a coalition against Great Britain ts probably known to Lord Salisbury. Thut some tremendous danger threatens the British nation ls the fixed belief ln o tlcial and diplomatic circles, where the Government gets ere. .It Ior prcpaiing fir lmp-ni.lng war issues, and not lur fooling the country by an empty naval demonstration. NOT CREDITED. The story that the Queen has written a letter to Emperor \\V'i,l,uni reproving liim for his attitude towards Englnnd, is bolioved to be u baseless conjecture. The character ol tbe Emperor and the precedents that would be followed by the Queen render the sending of such u message Improbable. Emperor WI Hum would not soften under u rebuke from the Queen. The only member of tho British Koynl family which ls friendly to the Emperor Is the reigning Duke of Saxe- Ooburg and liotliu (the Duke ol Edinburgh). The Prince ol Wales and the Dnke ol York do not speak to him unless tt ls absolutely necessary. The Duke of Fife, tho Marquis ol Lome and Prince Henry ol Battenberg, all of whom married members of the royal family, and whom the Emperor detests because they had the presumption to do so, return the hatred he feels tor tbem. Influences operating Irom the courts from German States, as well as from St. Peters- barg, are more likely to control the Emperor than English family sentiment. His Majesty's animosity towards the Duke of Fife, who married a daughter of the Prince of Wales, may have something to do with hla rejoicing at the collapse of the British South Africa's forces, as the Duke Is connected with that company. THE VENEZUELAN CASE. The blue book on the Venezuelan matter cannot be published nntll It la laid upon the table ot Parliament, unless In the meantime It Is promulgated In the Gasette, Parliament will not reassemble until February 11th. The blue book will embody the results of fresh researches In tho British, Dutch, Spanish, and even the Portuguese archives, and will Include a copy of the original Schomburgk map now in possession of the Colonial Office, which dllfers ln some respects from the published map heretofore accepted as the genuine Schomburgk map. It pressure should be put on the Government, It Is probable that copies of the blue book would be informally supplied to the American Venezuelan commission. There ls no reason why the Government should abide by etiquette and first present It to Parliament. The book will virtually contain the whole case for Great Britain with a fulness that has not yet been given. VISITING GOES ON. Empress Frederick, mother of Emperor William, will visit her mother, tlm Queen, at Osborne House on January .list. The Queen will bold two drawing rooms and also a diplomatic court bolore she starts tor the Riviera. During the present crisis telegrams are sent hourly Irum Whitehall and Osborne House.

HIS TRUNK A BABY L'OrFIK. The Old Traveller Seemed Sad Bnt Wss . Ooly Practical. A sad-.ooking man, whose back was bent with years aud care, and whose hair had beeu whitened by old Father Time, walked slowly up and down the platform at the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad Station last night, in iront "f the great iron gates, behind which several long trains were standing almost ready to start over the Al.egh-in ies In the plains and vulleye ol the west. The old man looked worn and tired. At lust he seated himself on a large basket beside a small pine col Hn box that had Just beea brought in by un express wagon and unloaded with a number ol trucks and satchels. To a reporter who happened to be neur, the oid traveller, who seemed to be as lonesome as he was tired, spoke; " Purty cold out to-night ?" snid he. "Indeed It ls." "Powerful sight below freetln*. I reckon,' returned the traveller, whose dress and manner of speech Indicated that he was from the mountains ol West Virginia. " One ol yonr family dead ?" queried the reporter, with reference to the little pine co'fin. " No, not lately," said the stranger. " Been buying a coffin for a neighbor, perhaps?" " No, bought It for my little girl." "That's too bad," responded the newspaper man. " When did she die t" "Nigh on to thirteen years ago. She was a mere baby, but I thought a heap of her. When she died we had to bury her, and I had to drive twenty miles for a coffin. When I had got baok hogne I seed that the undertaker had made a mistake. He'd given us two coffins fur the price of one. El he lis 'n't charged me so much I might have taken one back. When tt come to buryln' the little girl my woman she Just put tbe body In the purtlest coffin, and we dug a grave and bnrled her. Hed the other coffin on my hands and as all the rest of my family was growed too big to be ever burled ln It, I Jnet put Bome hinges on the cover and used tt for a trunk. Been np to Washington to see about g t'ln' tobe postmaster at our cross-roads and brought tbe trunk along to kerry some tobaccy and things baok In for the old woman." .lust then a baggage-man came along and put a cheque on one of the handles of the little coffin box, and the sad-looking West Virginian put the duplicate In his vest pocket nnd wearily moved away. ��� Washington Post.

Judge Bennett, of Alexandria, Kentucky, claims to have married the first leap year couple oi iBDO. There wus a purty in the neighborhood und among the guests were Miss Jane Metcalf and William Lincoln* , They hud been keeping company for years, but a day bad never been set for the marriage. At midnight Tues day Miss Metcalf and Mr. Lincoln were at a window, looking at the stars. " Is It -98 ?" the girl ssked. " Tee, time goes fast," sakl Mr. Lincoln. " Not with some,"- said Miss Met- eall, as ahe faced her lover and said firmly: " Well, yau hnve hail lota ol opportunities to ssk me to marry you bnt let them all go by. I won't do that. My opportunity Is now. Wtll you marry me ?"��� " Bare," he replied. In the morning a license was procured and that evening the Jadge married them. Bome one asked the bride if she did not feel embarrassed while proposing. " Not until It was over. I knew he loved me. He was too bashful,'- and the happy maa smiled assent. THEY WANT TO FIGHT. Some Women ln Galtcla, Austria, have sent to Emperor Francis Joseph a petition worded aa follows: "Sin, we, women of Galleta, prostrate at the foot of the throne, present this our ardent request: At preaent whereas every man, young or old, Is liable for military service, we women, often more robust than elfem- lnate men, think we ought not to be excluded. The arms now In ass are well made and easy to handle. We therefore pray Your Majesty tn Institute a corps of amaion volunteers." HQUEl'S OF GREAT WEALTH. A Washington correspondent writes to the New York Journal: How did Russia amass the immense store of Sold which slio bas ottered to 1 tide Sam? The answer Is simple. Sim hus been for ovor so long a hoarder ul the yellow metal, withdrawing from circulation not only the product of her own mines, but also the foreign coin und gold bars Imported into the country. Hardly any gold leaves Russia, while she receives unuuully Irom outside $00,000,1100 to "190,0110,0110 worth ol tt. Thus she has got together u giguntlc neap ot specie by draining the channels ol the monetary circulation of tbe world. The treasury of the Ciar now contains ubout $0110,000,000 tn gold. It Is not known why Russlu has adopted this policy ol hoarding. Perhaps It may have been lor the purpose of Improving her credit and financial standing among tbe powers. If so, the plan bas been successful. It has been contended by other authorities that the gold ls a war fund. HOARDING GOLD. The hoarding ol gold, which signifies Its withdrawal from circulation, hinders the flow of the world's commerce, and ls an Injury to the latter. It would be an Immense benefit to all mankind if the stores of the yellow metal now held by individuals lu India eould be made available lor general use. Ever since the dawn of history that country has been gathering gold and hiding It away. Pliny, who died 70 A. D-, complained that India drew Irom the great Roman Empire not less than $2,700,000 In gold yearly. A Frenchman named Bernler, in 1099, writing a report to his Government from Delhi, said that "the gold and silver of the world, after circulating for some time, finally flow to India, as into an abyss from which there is no return." It was estimated by Dr. Soetbeer that during the half century previous to 1885 India hoarded $1,500,000,000 of stiver and gold���nearly one-third ol the total amount of coinage In circulation In the world. EAST INDIA HOARDS. Treueui-e*i o. a.most, tnculculable value are possessed by many Indian princes. Recently the Maharajah of Burdwnn dlea, and the stock ol go.d und silver Ielt by him waa so lurge thnt no member of the family could make an accurate estimate ol It. A report made to the British Government bj a secret agent stated that on the estate ot the defunct potentate were a number of treasure houses, one ol them containing three rooms. The largest of these rooms und cups, washing bowls, jugs, etc.��� all ol precious metals. Tlie other wus 48 feet long, and was filled with ornaments ol gold and silver, plates rooms were full of bags and boxes of go.d mohurs and silver rupees. Tbe doors of till-, and other trea-ure homes hail b en bricked no for nol.o.ly knowa how long. Aeoordlng to a custom ol the Burwah Raj family, all these valuables were In the custody of the Maharajah's wile, the vaults being attached to her apartments, but none of them was allowed to be opened eave In the presence ot the master. One vault was filled with ornament's belonging to different gods of tbe family. The natives of India commonly bury their hoards, and among the poorer classes u favorite hiding , lace is a hole dug beneath tho bed. Disused wells are sometimes employed for the same purpose. It Is undoubtedly a fact that many hoards thun deposited nre lost forever. It Is estimated that In the Bombay Presidency alone $30,- 000 000 ol Bri'Ish loverelgns nre treasured np, because they bear the design ol George and the Dragon, and uro valued on religious grounds. India Is a very religious country, nntl the gods take up Immense trunnti- tls o' go d. t-llver and prrc'ous sto-e _ The temples contains vast nmounts of the yellow and white metnls. INDIA AS A BOTTOMLESS WELL. The habit ol hoarding seems to have been Induced by ages ol mis- government during which oppression and violence have been rile. No tecl.ng of safety existing, It was natural that the natives should adopt the practice of reducing their wealth to a concentrated shape and hiding it. Thus, In cuss of emergency, the Aunll.v savings ln hard cash were always within eaay reach, and robbers or other enemies were not likely to get hold of them. Meanwhile, century after century, the exports of India have greatly exceeded tbe Imports ol that country, and, consequently, an unlnterriinted stream of gold and silver have flowed thither. During the S3 years ended In 1892 India Imported and kept about $625,- 000,000 In gold. The country Is, Indeed, a bottomless well, Into which a stream of treasure perpetually flows, draining all the rest of the world. ' THE CHINA HORDES. It ls said that there Is a huge amount of hoarded gold at Peking. The Chinese officers commonly make large fortunes out of their places, corruption In that eountry being the almost universal rule. They are afraid to put their money ln banks, because their superiors would discover Its existence and confiscate the whole of It. So they buy gold bars and secrete them. Consequently, gold always commands a considerable premium at Peking. Meanwhile, thanks to newly-discovered fields and Improved methods of mining, the gold pn nine Hon of the world ls steadily growing, and will progressively Increase lor some years to come. The yield lor 1895 has been tbe greatest In history, probably exceeding $200.000 000. The United States alone produced about $n0 0:.'0.- 000 of this total, an Increase of $11,000,000 over 1894. A HOSPITAL SHIP fitted Oat fer Service la llie Asheetee kip, .litlua. Miss J. A. Grey, who has gone out to Ashantee In charge of the nursing staff, is the lady superintendent ot the Hospital ot the Coldstream Guards ln London. She haa had a long und active career in army hospital work, having entered Netley Hospital .2 years ago. She served through the Zulu campaign ot 1879, and went to Egypt In 1882, where she remulned (or nearly four years. She weat up the Nile with the Gordon raid expedition, nnd later nursed the men during the cholera epidemic. She hus the Zulu and Egyptian wur medals, the Egyptian Cross, and the Royal Red Cross. The arrangement* tor transporting the Coromundel, ex-P. and O. liner, Into the hospital ship which has Just Eft lor tho Gold Coast, have boen most admirably carried out. The ship bus been practically gutted, and all available space put to the best advantage, tin slm will llnully be able to accommodate some 400 patients comfortably besides the staff. Everywhere are the very visible signs of a most elaborate system ot ventilation, and all those conveniences whieb are the chief Joys of the expert���Irom swing cot aud punkahs to a brick floor for tlie wash-house��� look most aervlceuble. The second-class saloon has become the chief hospital ward, and can be quite isolated Irom the others If necessary. At present the whole fore part of the ship ls fitted as a trooper to accommodate toe special service corps which goes ont with her, but on arrival at the Gold Coast this portion of the sbip will also be utilized for hospital purposes. In the extreme stern are the quarters ol the three lady nurses who accompany the expedition, a space being walled off at the end ot the saloon for their private use, with cabins, sitting room, and bath accommodation, not to mention an electric cooking stove. But, ln spite of the Joy of the expert and the man " with eleven new patents on board," a hospital ship Is rather a depressing place tor the average landsman* Everything suggests one's end In rather tqp business-like a fashion for dainty company. The ewlng cot brings back the oily roll, which will not cease night or day, while the punkah only adds to the sensation, and the little mat blinds, which look so neat, fixed over the open port to temper the moist fever- laden air of the West Coast, tap- tap in concert���till the mind almost begins to grow sick too. It ls not without a little shock, too, that one passes from the dispensary to the adjoining room, to realize that a folding table Just being fixed in position, and looking as Innocent as a desk chair or a mechanical toy, opens out Into the operator's bench, and you are now standing tn what ls vulgarly known to Tommy Atkins as the " Butcher's Shop." All around are the surgical Instrument cases and the conveniences tor antiseptics. Or. again, one doos not wonder at the lady who draws back with one quick glance and a shudder from the padded cell for delirious patients. The meaning ol It all ls too obvious to be passed by. However, It is to be hoped that all these elaborate preparations may not be necessary alter all; and In any case the Coromandel goes put better equipped to fight ber battle than any that have gone before, and as near perfection ae modern science can make her.

TEE WOHKMEN LOSE- MILLIONS- In the first nunilier of tlie 'serial bulletins itemed by the D. S.' Department ol Labor, the subject ot strikes Is dealt with very tu.ly. These statistics cover a period of thirteen nnd one-hull years, Irom 1HS1 to 18S)4. During this tine.* there occurred 14,11110 strikes, Involving 0(1,107 establishments, nnd tnrotving out of employment no less thun 3,714,400 employees. The qui-etcst year wus 1884. when they were 440 strikes, nlleet- ing 2,1107 establishments taml 147,- 054 employees; the most illstiirlietl year wus lbsil, lvhen lti.U.",.", establishments were Involved and 508,044 uinpluyces thrown out of work as the result of 1,432 strikes. The greutest number ol strikes, 18,- 787, occurred In New York State: thon eomo Illinois, with 12,82b, and Pennsylvania, with 10,001. Out of 00.107 establishments af- feetod, nbout 90 per cent, were ln the following Industries: Building trades. 26,80U; coal anil coke, b'.Olb; tobacco, 5,463; clothing, 4,769; food preparations, 3.817; metals, 3,464 ; transportation, 2.805; stone quarrying and cutting, 2,461; nnd five others, In proportions, under 1.000. BIT FEW STRIKES ARK SUCCESSFUL. During these 101-2 yeurs, 02 per cent, ol the whole number of people thrown out ol employment by strikes succeeded in gaining what tbey asked; 12.40 per cent, only partly succeeded; and 56.50 failed altogether. As to the leading causes of strikes tlie figures show that 42.82 per tent, struck for Increase of wages;, 10.48 per cent, for reduction of hours; 7.- 77 against reduction ot wages; 7.59 for Increase ol wages and reduction of hours; the remaining 22 per cent, of the strikes occurring lor minor and very varied causes. The tables from which the above figures aro taken are very startling, and they will come as a rev-Mutton to many. But tbe most sensational figures, snys the Helen title American, are those which deal with the actual losses Incurred during these 18 1-2 years of strikes and lockouts. The actual wage loss of employees waa $168,807,866. It cost the various labor organisations to assist the strikers $10,914,406. The loss to employers was $82,590,880. The corresponding losses due to lockouts were- Employees, $26,685,516; assistance by labor organisations. $2,524,298; employers, $12,285,451. Summing up these figures, we find that the various labor disputes of the past 13 1-2 yean have coat the oountry no lees than $298,757*028. It is pretty well understood, both by capital and labor, that strikes and lockouts are a crude and costly means for the adjustment of employer's profit and employee's wage���but last how costly (an only be realised when we look at the appalling loss that ls spelled out by the nine figures given above. FIGURES FROM ABROAD. The statistics for Great Britain and Ireland cover the five years from 1889 to 1898 Inclusive. OI the 4,526 strikes which occurred, 8,428 were reported lu detail. They aflectcd 1,852,198 persons. The successful strikes ailected 44.5 per cent, of this total number; the partially successful 82.9 per cent, and the unsuccessful 20.7 per cent. These figures would seem to Indicate either that labor ls less under tbe control of capital or tbat Its organization is stronger in those countries than it Is in the United States. This would Beam to be further proved by the fact that tn the three years 1891 to 1893 tliere were only 35 lockouts, us against 4,526 strikes In the five year" 1889 and 1898. In France during the years 1890 to 1894 there were 1,800 strikes, ulfoct- ing 7,608 establishments anil 500,- 475 employees. The average ol successful strikes was 25.24 jicr cent.: of partly successful, 29.20; nnd of failures 44.61 per cent. In ltnly Irom 1878 to 18(11 tliere were 1,075 strikes, affecting 254,- 668 employees. Of these, 24 per cent, were successful: 47 per cent, partly successful, and 29 per cent, failed. In Austria during the year 1801 there wero 104 strikes, nlfectlng 1,- 910 establishments, nntl 40,486 employees. Of the 104 strikes, 23 succeeded ; 26 succeeded partially, and 51 failed. SECRET OF ROME'S CHARM. Tho palace, tho people, the nir, tht* crystalllno brightness ol winter, the passion-stirring sirocco ol autumn, the loveliness of the long spring, the deep, still heat ol summer, the atmosphere, the city, the humanity, are all breeders ol emotions In one way., or another. Because Rome was once eo very great Indeed, a small amount of Imagination In tbo tourist bore produces ln bim the greatest possible emotional result. People who fancy that tbey understand Rome seem to be mure common than people who Imagine that they know all about other places; and In travelling nothing Is so nattering to the traveller aa to be able to think that he understands what he sees.���Marlon.
