WAGES AND LIVING.
SOCIETY FOR THE FRICNDLESS.
There are now so man societies
at. il clubs and other forms of organ-
ization engaged In works of benev-
olo nee and which am ovidenoe of
the existence of the ilrlt of altru-
ism out of which ho much. of good
la born says the Houston Chronicle
that It Is difficult to keep track of
them all and even Intelligent people
may bo excused for Ignoranco con-
cerning them.
Among them all there are none
more worthy of public confidence
and support than the Society for thu
Friendless of which the lluv. Sam
uel P. Ilenbrook of Dallas Is statu
superintendent
Its efforts arc directed to prison
reform to the prevention of crime
the Improvement of sanitary con
dltlous In prisons the helping of
those who have been released from
prison and In all manners of work
that will better the conditions of
those who have had laid ujion then)
the penalty of violated law
The work Is a noble one and what
the more entitles It to conlldencn
and support Is that the work Is prac
tlcal and not based on uia'idlln sen
tlment. Thu workers In tho society
do not conU-nt themselves with sing'
Ing hymns and quoting scripture
texts but they seek to Impress tho
necessity for genuine repentance to.
ward Hod and society and the valuo
of right living. They help ox-prlson
ers to Mud employment and strive ti
lead them Into right paths and keep
them there. Such u work Is worthy
of every encouragement anil help and
upon It must rest the blessing of
Cod.

As to the campaign funds question
Chairman Corttilyou )s Mr. Cortel-
on.
The annual Investigation of the
llurenu of I-ibor Into wnes and the
retail prices of food the report on
which has Just hem placed 111 the
hands of the printer shows that In
the principal manufacturing and me-
chanical Industries of thu counutry
average wages In 1000 were l.S r
cnt higher In Wit. the regular
hours of labor per wek were 0.1
per cunt lower and the number of
employes In the establishments In-
vestlgnted was 7 Iter cent greater
than In 1905.
During l!'0fl wages were Increas-
ed generally In nearly nil Industries
10 of 11 industries covered by the
Investigation showing some increase..
The greetcst Increase wngilu the
manufacture of cotton goods where
the nvernge wares per hour In 160G
wero 1.12 per cent higher than In
1505. In the manufacture of elec-
trical apparatus and suppllos the In-
crease was lo.l per cent. In street
and sew.fr work done by contract thu
Increase was S.7 Iter cent; In Iron
and steel llesaemer converting S.5
lier cent and In the manufacture
of cigars 8 4 ir cent. In the manu-
facture of bar Iron the Increase In
wages per hour was CO per cent and
n the building trades 0.1 per cent.
Itrlofly stated two Industries showed
an Increase In hourly wages of more
hntt 10 per cent 7 Industries an In
crease of. G par cent but less than
10 per cent and 31 Industries an In-
crease of less than f per cent. In
one Industry paper nnd wood pulp
there was a decrease of 1.1 per
cent. In the Industries as a whole.
weighed according to importance
the Increase In hourly wages was
per cent.
The fact should bu borne In mind
that these tlgures apply only to wage
workers In manufacturing and me
chanical Industries and do not show-
conditions so far as salaried employ-
es nro concerned.
The retail prices of food weighed
according to consumption In repre
sentative worklugmeu's families
weru 2.0 per cent higher In 1000 than
In 1005. As thu ndvanco In wages
per hour from 1005 to 1900 was
greater than tho advance In thu re-
tall prices of food thu purchasing
power of an hour's wnges as meas
tired by food was greater In 1900
than In the preceedlug year. In 190G
the purchasing power of an hour's
wages as expended for food was 1.1
per cent greater than In 1905 and
the purchasing power of a full weeks
wanes was 1 per cent greater In
l'JOrt than In 1905 or. In other words
an hour's wages in 1900 In the man
ufacturlug and mechanical Indus
tries of the United States would pur
chase 1.1 per cent inoru food than
an hour's wages In 1905 and a full
week's wages In 1900 would pur
chase 1 per cent tnoro food than a
full week's wages 111 1905.
The price of food was higher In
eery month of 1900 than In the cor
responding mouth of 1905. The In
crease over the corresondlng month
of the preceding year which In Feb
ruary 1900 was only 0.1 per cent
grew steadily greater throughout th
jear the price In December 1500 ly
ing 5 1 per cent above that of thu
preceding December. The price In
December 1900 was 4.S per cen
hlhger than th eaverngo for the year

cans are already trimr to make

the special census. The assert that
a great discrimination Is shown by
the difference In population of conn

resentation. The fact that the con
stitutional convention divided the
counties largely by Inaccurate figure
ti cause a late census was not a'-
lalnable apparently does not enter
In their calculations.
"Thero Is no cause fur democrats
to fear a presidential veto" said
a prominent lawyer today. "The

NEW CHINESE MINISTER.
Yale Graduate Sent as Minister to
Washington
Pekln Sept. 11. The aggressive lu
fluence of Yuan Shi Kal was furth r
demonstrated today when I.lang Tun
Yen one of Yuan Slit Hal's men
was appointed minister to Washing
ton nnd made an nctlve member of
the Wat Wti Pu or board of for
elgn affairs. Ho is a Yale graduate
Numerous officials have been cash
lend because of their denunciation
of Yuan Shi Kal who Is fortifying
his position before the arrival here
of Chetung I.lang Cheng.
On April 23 last the then Chinese
minister at Washington Sir Chetung
I.lang Cheng was Informed of thf
ptirisisu of his government to recall
him to China to take an Important
post In the Chinese foreign office
nnd that he would bo succeeded In
Washington by Liang Tun Yen.
So If the latter owes his appoint
ment to Washington to Yuan Shi Kal
ns reported from Pekln It Is evident
that the great viceroy was able to
arrange for this appointment long be
fore ho was himself summoned to Pe
kln as n member of the board of for
eign affairs.
I.lang Tun Yen the new minister
was Chinese Customs Taotl at Tien
Tsui and is one of tho trusted lieu
tenants of Yuan Shi Kal who has
come to be regarded ns the successor
of I.I Hung Chang as dictator of the
destiny of China
I.lang speaks Bngllsh perfectly be
Ing a graduate of Yule and It I
believed was chosen by Yuan Shi
Kal to bo minister to Washington be

nnd Is therefore likely to be of tho
greatest help to his chief In selecting
