Between Rich and Poor.
In English law courts too much dis
tinction is made between poor and
wealthy parties. This state of affairs
is partly attributable to the want of a
code of criminal law and procedure.
The mysteries of the law of the Eng
lish jurists of to-day are what the
mysteries of theologic dogma were for
the priestcraft of medieval times. ?

The Greatest Number.
Lord Iiussell once asked Mr. Hume:
"Mr. Hume, what do you consider
the object of legislation?"
"The greatest good to the great
est number."
"And what do you consider the
greatest number?"
"No. 1," was Mr. Hume's reply. ?

ORGANIZED LABOR.
Deputy Faotory Inspector Milburn
has began a crusade in Trenton
against parents who swear falsely
concerning the age of their children
employed in the factories.
Representatives of the Manuactur
ing Potters' Association and the Ex
ecutive Board of the Brotherhood of
Operative Potters, held a long session
in Trenton Sunday nigth and finally
came to an understanding by which a
strike of the potters in this city has
been averted. The manufacturers
made some concessions.
The Exeontive Board of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers met in Indianapolis Monday with
a busy session in prospect. It now
has on hand 350 strikes in different
parts of the United States. It will be
necessary for the merits of each of
these striks to be ascertained and
sanction issued. There must also be
appropriations to carry on the strikes
now in prorgess and any others that
may arise soon.
o- ?
Charles Masey, business agent of
the New York local of the Interna
tional Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, said yester
day that the 25,000 members of the
association were prepared to assist
5,000 members on a strike against the
American Bridge Company by a strike
throughout the country if called up
on to do so.
The first strike of the Retail Clarks
in Chicago is now in progress. Bus
iness Agent Conway, of the Federat
ed Clerks' Council, called out on
strike the 285 clerks employed by five
of the?largest retail clothing stores in
the northwest portion of the city.
It is alleged that the proprietors of
the stores had violated their agree
ment with the clerks to keep their
stores closed on Wednesday and on
Friday nights.
o
Several months ago the State of In
diana instituted suit against the Re
public Iron and Steel ' Compangy to
comple the corporation to pay its em
plovesjonce a week, under the law
of 1899. The compauy had been pay
ing every two weeks and a suit was
brought by the factory inspector. The
Supreme Court has passed upon the
law, holding it in conflict with the
bill of rights and also with the four
teenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution.
According to the Berlin correspond
ent of the London Times the condi
tion of the working classes in Ger
many, notwithstanding recent social
legislation, which many of them re
gard as very inadequate, does not
compare very favorably with that of
the same olasses in England and Am
erica. An English or American skill
ed workman wonld on no account
ohange lots with his German comrade
for the sake of a small pension in old
age and state aid in oase of sickness
and disablement. As for the position
of the women, it is still miserably in
ferior to that of their sisters in Eng
land and Amerioa, and there is at
present an agitation in favor of re
ducing the daily hours of work from
eleven to ten. A Prussian minister of
commerce oan still declare, as Herr
Moller did the other day, at Cologne,
"the consolation of the working class
es is that the man who is industrious
can improve his position, and this is
one of the reasons why I am bitterlv
opposed to limiting the dav's work.
I maintain that there are very few
people who are the victims of over
work. There isT therefore no reason
for being anxious to limit the hours
of work for those who have a will of
their own, "
5 Cooks, waitresses, chambermaids
and nurses, first, ; second and third
class, are to be organized into a union
by a new j Boston corporation, called
the Household Aid Company. It is
predicted that the organization will
bo of as great benefit to householders
as to? houseworkers. The concern is
under the supervision of the Woman's
Industrial and Educational Associa
tion. The proposition is to gather all
women who do housework of any kind
into the organization. A schedule of
prices per hour for the various grades
of cooking, baby tending, care taking,
ironing, washing and the rest has
been arranged. Enthusiasts have al
ready subscribed more than $5,000.
The promoters propose to class dom
estics in definite grades? expert, cap
able and raw. If the experiment is
sncoessful a stook company will be
formed.

Glaring Effrontery.
Uncle Absalom Ashby was much
given to retailing old and hackneyed:
jokes. An acquaintance of his, think
ing to cure him of the practice, one day
frave him a copy of "Joe Miller's Jest
Rook," with the remark that he "might
find something new in it."
The next time he met the old gentle
man he asked him: "Well, uncle, what
do you think of that book I gave you
the other day?"
"I don't know who that 'ere Joe Mil
ler is," indignantly responded Uncle
Absalom, "but I do know he's a thief.
He's got hold of a lot of my best stories
and printed 'em, consarn him!" ?

Oldest Hou?e In Great Brltala.
The oldest inhabited house in Great
Britain is Dunvegan castle, the seat of
the McLeods of McLeod, part of which
dates from the ninth eennury, or a
couple of hundred years before the
conquest of William the Norman. ?

One reason why American workmen
accomplish more in a day than work
men abroad is because of shoes.
shoes are lighter, easier on the
and thus permit greater action.
