Prosperity Told
In Plain Terms.
.Washington, August 13. A report
was issued by lha Bureau of Labor
to day for an investigation into wages
and ho'irs of labor in 1905 in the prin
cipal manufacturing and mechanical
ndustries of the United States. The
report gives the average wages and
hours of labor and the number of em
ployes in identical establishments in
both 1904 and 1905.
"The results of this investigation
show that in 1905 the average wages
per hour in the principal manufac
turing and mechanical industries of
the country were 1.6 per cent higher
than in 19U5; that the average hours
' of labor per week remained the same
as in 1904 and that 6.3 per cent more
persous were employed in the estab
lishments investigated.
The retail prices of food were 0.6
per cent higher in 1905 than in 1904.
As the average wages per hour in
creased more than the retail price ot
food, the purchasing power of wages
increased. In 1905 the purchasing
power of both hourly and weekly
wages was 1 per cent greater than
in 1904.
"The average wages per hour in
1905 were 18.9 per cent higher than
the average for the ten-year period
from 1890 to 1899 Inclusive. The num
ber of employes was 33.6 per cent
greater and the average hours of
labors of labor per week was 4.1 per
cent lower. The average earnings
per week in 1905 were 14 per cent
higher than the earniugs per weak
during the ten years from 1890 to
1899. The aggregate weekly earn
ings of all employes, that is, the total
amount of payrolls, was 52.3 per cent
higher in 1905 than the average dur
ing the ten year periol named.
"The retail price of tlx' principal
articles of food, weighed in cording to
family consumption of various orti
cles, was 12 4 ppr cent higher in 1905
than was the average price for ten
years from 1889 to 1899. Compared
with the average for the same ten-
year period, the purchasing power
of an hour's waes in 1905 was 10 5
per cent greater, and of a week's
wages 1.10 greater than the increase
in purchasing pawer of weekly wages,
being less than the increase in pur
chasing power of hourly wages be
cause of the reduction of the hours of
labor during the period."
The average wages per hour in
1905 were 21.5 per cent hipher than
in 1894, the year of lowest wages
during the period covered, and week
ly earnings were 16.7 per cent
higher. The purchasing power of an
hour's wages was greater Inll905
than in any other year covered by
the investigation, being' 1.3 per cent
greater than in 189(5, the year of
lowest retail prices. The purchasing
power of a week's wages in 1905 was
3.5 per cent greater than in 1894,
but 2.7 per cent leas than in 1896.
For Murder Of
Snow Carrier.
Covelo, August 13.- A Sheriff's
pose -this afternoon arrested Hiram
Simons and Fred Richardson at their
camp in Mule basin, in the hills north
east of here, on a charge of murder
ing Jacob Frie, a Swiss German, had
for years supplied Covelo with snow,
which took the place of ice. Last
Friday morning before daybreak, as
he was coming Into town to supply
his customers, he was shot from am
bush and killed. The murder took
place about six miles from Covelo,
near the Parriugton schoolhouse,
and the body was found in the morn-
ng by school children.
Simons was -at once suspected of
the murder, a he was Frie's only
neighbor, and there had been trouble
between t he two men over some stolen
hogs.
Officers at once searched for Si
mons, but he had left his home, and
t was not until this afternoon that
he was located. Richardson is a re
lative of Simons. The ;two men pur
chased cartridges for their rifles in
Covelo a few days before the murder.
Their preliminary hearing will be
held to morrow. Frie leaves a widow
and three children, the oldest of whom
is 12 years.

Hawaiian Band Has
Close Call.
St. Louis, August 19. Members of
the Hawaiian Royal Band and Glee
Club had a narrow escape from
nsphyxiaton today while passing
through a tunnel in their special car
from Louisville. When the train pull
ed into Union Station twenty mem
bers ojthe band and glee club were
so ill they could not leave the train
for several minutes and several were
so weak they had to be assisted from
tb9 car. The porter of the car failed
to close the ventilators and windows
in the coach as iteutered the tunnel.
In a few seconds the car was failed
with the noxious gas and smoke, and
members of the- organization were
gasping for breath, some of them on
the verge of unconsciousness. Had
the train remaiued in the tunnel an
other minute it is believed more than
half the members would have been
asphyxiated.
The St. Louis Republic of August
20 says:
In the Royal Hawaiian Band and
Glee Club, touring the country by
permission of the Hawaiian and
United States Governments. Colonel
Hopkins has secured the best at
traction of the season at Forest Park
Highlands. The Hawaiians are musi
cians. They play and sing for sheer
love of their art and they throw into
their music a nerve and vigor often
lacking in professional organizations.
Captain H. Berger, who organized
the t-and in 1873 for the German Em
peror, add has directed its destinies
ever since, has the organization so
tiained that it responds to every
wave of his baton like a huge musical
instrument with every tone fully de
veloped and every harmony prcperly
expressed. There are dignity and
strength in his beat and the tnelo
dramatic contortions with which a
suffering public has so long been in
flicted nre happiiy lacking in Herr
Berger. He is a finished leader, who
has made a close study of the native
Hawaiian music and was fortunate
in being the first to appreciate its
possibilities.
The versatility of the Royal Ha
waiian Band was shown yesterday by
the easo'and grace with which they
slipped from Strauss to Sousa, from
Linke to Moret, from '"Nakirl's Wed
ding" to "The Wearing ot the Green."
The Glee Club, with its quaint native
instruments, the ukulele and the
taropatch, its beautifully blended
voices and its superb tenor, John H.
Ellis, caught the popular fancy at
once and received encore after en
core. The "St. Louis Girl is Good
Enough for Me" and the "One, Two,
Three, Four" songs, sung in English
by these remarkable islanders, every
one of whom is a soloist, sent the
crowd away whistling as not many
have done in man) moons. Miss Lei
Lehua, a dark-eyed, willowy Ha
waiian beauty with a soprano voice
of winning sweetness, gave native
songs arranged by Captain Berger,
that were full of the witchery of the
unknown and unfathomable.
All in all, the Hawaiians, hand
some, stalwart fellows, most at
tractive of all the brown peoples,
with their intelligent coal-black eyes
and their intellectual . foreheads,
created a marked impression on the
biggest Sunday crowd the Highlands
has had this season. In the vaudeville
bill Gjs Edward's Schoolboys and
Girls with their pretty songs and
fresh youthful voices, are worth see
ing and hearing. The Ivowalski
Royal Troupe ot Russian singers and
dancers are more than good. The
Demond and Mardo trios proved en
tertaining, and Cameron and Flan
agan bad to do an unmerciful lot of
dancing for a sultry August day be
fore the audience would let them go.
President Adopts The
Carnegie Spelling Reform.
Oyster Bay, August 24,-President
Roosevelt has indorsed tie Carnegie
spelling reform movement. He issued
orders today to Public Printer Sell
ings that hereafter Ell messages
from the President and all other
documents emanating from the White
House must be printed in accordance
with the recommendations of the
spelling reform committee headod by
Brnnder Matthews, professor of Eng
lish at Columbia University. This
committee has published a list of 100
words in which the spelling is reform
ed. This list contains such words as
"thru" and "tho" as the spelling of
'through" and "though."
The President's official sanction of
this reform movement is regarded as
the most effective and speediest
method of inaugurating the uew
system of spelling throughout the
country. Not only will the printed
documents emanating from the Pre
sident's office utilize the reform
spelling, but his correspondence also
will be spelled in the new style.
LOEB SENDS FOR LIST.
Secretary Loeb has sent for the
list of 300 words which have been
reformed, and upon its arrival will
immediately order all correspondence
of the President and of the executive
force of the White House spelled in
accordance therewith. As the spell
ing reform committee adopts new
reforms these will be added to the
President's list, and also that of the
Public Printer.
While the order to the Public
Printer does not contemplate an
immediate reform in the spelling of
officials documents from the executive
departments in Washington, it is
regarded as more than likely that
the respective heads of the depart
ments will fall in line with the Presi
dent's ideas and have their official
documents printed in the new spell
ing. ' CHANGES BY BOARD.

Bottle And Note
Make Long Trip.
Seattle (Wash.) August 31, As
the bark Golden Gate kicked up her
heels to the.freshening breeze, which
drove her merrily out of the Norfolk,
Va.. harbor on June 12, 1882, First
Mate Joseph Keller inclosed a note
in a tightly sealed bottle, land dropp
ed it over the side.
On August 12, 190fi, G. W. Love,
berry, who lives ot South Seattle,
saw a bottle bobbing up and down on
the waters of Puget Sound. Love
berry picked up the bottle, opened
it, and found therein the note writt
en by Mate Keller, nearly a quarter
of a century ago.
Loveberry has forwarded the note
to Norfolk, and has received word
that an ai tempt is being made .by
residents of that city to locate Kell
er or some of his relatives.
Other bottles containing notes have
been floating on the bosom of the
ocean at various times, but it is
doubtful if there is a case on record
where one has drifted so far, or exis
ted so long as this one.
Loveberry states that the paper
Wa8 in a good stateof preservation,
but the writing was barely legible on
account of age.
Pritylov Raid
Arouses Japan.
VICTORIA (B. C), August 31 .-The
steamei Tartar, which arrived to-day
from China and Japan, brought news
thst the killing of the five Japanese
seal pnahers in a raid at the Priby
ldv Islands had caused great excite
nient in Japan, and the press was
devoting columns to the discussion of
the affair.
One of the sealing schooners involv
ed arrived at Azushi, Hakkaido,
shortly before the Tarter sailed, and
her officers had been instructed to
proceed to Tokio to Inform the Gov
ernment regarding the occurrences.
Some of the vernacular press quote
an unnamed Japanese seuli.ig autdo
rity as follows:
"In 1901 some Americans, prohi
bited from sealing under their own
flag, started the practice of poach
ing under the Japanese flag with the
assistance of Japanese sealers.
Whether the Japanese who were
killed or imprisoned were employed
by Americans or were acting inde
pendently is still uncertain, accord
ing to official investigation. In view
of the uncertainty on this point and
as to other circumstances, it is not
clear whether the killing of the Japa
nese sealers was justifiable or not."
Advices were also received by the
Tartar of the seizure of two Japanese
sealing vessels by a Russian cruiser
in the Okhotsk sea in July. The
seized vessels were the Taiyu and the
Otuku. Their crews were taken off
by the cruiser and landed at Vladi
vostok, whence they were shipped to
Otaru, Japan, in mid-August. The
reason for the seizure was not start
ed.
Chicago Has a
Big Death Roll.
Chicago, August 31. The largest
death roll since the month of the Iro
quois tire summarizes the report of
Coroner Hoffman for August, Dur-
this month there have been 390 deaths
in Cook county, as against 338 for
the preceeding month of July and 356
for the month of April, the next
largest month.
The increase in the death rate is
attributed to heat. This is shown in
the large number of deaths which
have been caused directly or indirect
ly by heat prostration. There are
twenty-seveu of these, as against one
for the month of July. Suicides also
increased with the hot weather.
There were thirty-nine during August
more than for any month save
February, when there were the same
number.
During August there were twenty-
nine drownings. In July there were
twenty eight. Railroads claimed
twenty-six victims and street cars
thirteen. Twenty-four school child
ren are among the victims.
Federal Agents
Investigating
Oroville, August 31. The investi
gation by the Federal authorities
into the charges against II. H. Yard
have already been started, and
agents of the Government are now
in Butte and Plumas counties making
a field investigation into the claims
located here. The agents which the
Government has first sent here are
E. C. Fincey and A. C. Shaw, both
direct from Washing, D. C. Both are
connected with the Forestry Bureau.
It it apparent that the policy of
the investigation is to examine first
into the amount of timber upon the
Yard claims. Agents will then be
sent to investigatejinto the mineral
values of the land and into the vari
ous affidavits and documents filed by
Yard and his agents.
Agents of Yard in this city assert
that he has nothing to fear from the
investigation; that assessment work
has been done regularly, and that
patents have only been taken upon
land which is genuinely mineral laud
They acknowledge that some of the
land upon which mineral claims have
been filed is probably worthless for
its mineral wealth, but point-out that
such land has not been patented, and
that the filing of a mineral claim has
not excluded entry for either home
stead or for the acquisition of timber
and, in accordance with the law gov
ernment the acquisitions of such land.
Finney an-J Shaw are merely the
advance agents of a large number of
surveyors and experts that the Gov
ernment will probably send out.
Bad Outlook
For Thomas.
A regulation of the public school
administration of Baltimore requires
that notice shall, from time to time,
be given the parents of any pupils -whose
eyesight needs attention.
In one case, the teacher of a
primary school, in the poorer quarter
of the city, had written the father of
one pupil this note:
'Dear Sir: It is my duty, under the
regulations, to advise you that your
son, Thomas Blank, shows unmistak
able signs of astigmatism. The case
should receive immediate attention."
In reply the teacher received a
note from the father, in these laconic
terms:'
"Dear Madam: Lick it out of him
Very truly, Charles Blank." Suc

"Don't you ever get any vacation?"
pityingly asked the sleek thorough
