London, Aug. 14. Ann O'Delia Diss
Debar, who, under the name of Laura Jackson, was sentenced on Dec. -0.
lJXll, to seven years' penal servitude
for connection with an immoral cult known as the "Theocratic Unity," of
which her reputed husband, Theodore. Jackson, was the head, has been liberated from Aylesbury prison under
ticket of leave, having obtained the maximum reduction of sentence by
Her Claim as to Birth. Mme. Diss Debar has been known
under many names in the United
States and (Jreat Britain, but her greatest notoriety was achieved as
the perpetrator of a so-called spiritualistic deception by which Luther It. Marsh, of New York, was in his old age stripped of the fortune he had accumulated in the practice of lav.-. Though claiming to be the daughter of King Louis I of Bavaria and Lola Montez she was in fact the daughter of I'rofessor John C. F. Salomau, once of Washington and later of Kentucky. She Deludes John K. Marsh. She became the wife of General Joseph II. Diss Debar in the '70's, and later traveled about the country representing herself as thj personification of occult powers and the revealer of hidden truths, spiritualistic and other, and in this way, while living in Washington square, New York, she met Marsh find by means of alleged spirit materializations and spirit-painted pictures so infatuated him that he gave her large sums of money, and deeded to her his home in Madison square. Delusion Sends Her to Prison. About this time (leneral Diss Debar left the adventuress, who went to live at the Marsh home, and also hired apartments where she officiated as a priests of spiritualism and won greater notoriety. Suit was brought to show her up as an imposter, and she was charged with conspiring to defraud Marsh. Her trial resulted in her conviction and she was sentenced to a term of imprisonment.
TAKES A TIIIP TO EUROPE
550.00.
Then Comes Back and Gets Into Trouble and Jail Again. On her release she went to Europe, then returned to this country and going to the west, got into more difficul
ties through her representations of bogus spiritualism. Under the name of Vera I. Ava she fell into the hands of the Chicago police, who sent her to tho penitentiary at Joliet for two years. The most extraordinary of her experiences at Chicago, however, was her sudden disappearance one evening from the vicinity of a Roman Catholic
church on the west side and her reappearance about twenty-four hours later at Cincinnati. She alleged that she had been seized while in or near the church, put aboard a train and taken to Cincinnati. Who seized her, if she was seized, was never known. What is known is that she appeared in a drug store at Cincinnati during the night following that of her disappearance from Chicago; that she had hardly any clothes on her
and that she told a grewsome story to the drug stove man. After she was released from Joliet penitentiary she married William J. McGown, in ., nt Chicago. McGown like Marsh, was a man of wealth, but this did not deter her from the practice of fraud. In 1SC0 she was run out of New Orleans with Theodore Jackson, whose wife she then said she was. A year later they turned up in Cape Town. South Africa, where Mme. Diss Debar called herself Helena and Jackson called himself Iloros. Occult
ism and hypnotic performances were
the order there, and one of her South African dupes, a wealthy contractor gave his money to the woman to establish a colony of brotherly love. Soon afterwards the pair went to London, where they promoted the "Theocratic Unity" organization. Their trial, which continued at intervals through three months, developed facts of such loathsome character that several of the London papers excluded from their columns all reports of the proceedings in court. Jackson got fifteen years. HorriMe Death of Foar Boys. Elizabeth. X. J., Aug. 14. Four boys, all under 9 years of age, were struck and killed by a Pennsylvania railroad train while walking across the railroad bridge over Broad street in this city. The bodies of two of them fell into the crowded street amidst a number of women shoppers, several of whom fainted.
Washington, Aug. 14. A report has been issued by the bureau of labor of an investigation into wages and hours of labor in lftor in the principal manufacturing and mechanical industries of the United States. The report gives the average Avages and hours of labor and the number of employes in identical establishments in both 1004 and 10O". While the figures presented are not exhaustive for the United States the report says that "It is believed they are fairly representative of the industries investigated." Continuing, the report says: Increase of Wage Earnings. "The results of this investigation show that in IttO." the average Avages per hour in the principal manufacturing and mechanical , industries of the count ry Avere per cent, higher than
in 114; that the average hours of labor per week remained the same as in 1004, and that f.H per cent, more persons Avere employed in the establishments investigated. As there Avas no reduction in the average hours of labor per week the average weekly earnings per employe Avere 1.0 per cent, higher than in 1004. As there Avas an increase In the number of employes, as well as in the weekly earnings per employe, there was a considerable increase in the weekly earnings of all employes or in other Avords, in the amount of the weekly pay roll. This increase was 8 per cent, in the establishments investigated. Purchasing Power of Wages. "When the figures of this article relating to Avages and hours of labor, and those of the succeeding article relating to retail prices of food are brought together it is seen that the retail prices of food, due weight being given to the quantity and cost of the different commodities consumed, were 0.0 per cent, higher in 100," than in
1004. As the average wages per hour
increased more than the retail prices
of food the purchasing poAver of wages increased. In 1005 the purchasing
power of both hourly and weekly
wages was 1 per cent, higher than in 10Ot; or, expressed in other words, an
hour'? wages in '1005 would purchase
1 per cent, more food than an hour's
wages in 1004."' For a Ton-Year Period.
"The averagewages per hour in 1905
were 1S.9 per cent, higher than the
average for the ten-year period from
1S0O to 1S0O inclusive. The number of employes was 33.0 per cent, greater.

French Paper Tells South America to Beware of Monroeism and Your Uncle Sam. Faris, Aug. II. The Temps devotes a leading article to Secretary Boot's eneeches in South America and the
Monroe doctrine. It says: "LatinAmerica feels the need of guarantees
i against the United States, as avcII as
against Europe. The Monroe doctrine protects the republics against Europe, but it leaves them defenseless agaiu tte United States." The Temps says that Brazil favors the United States, owing to its coffee and rubber goods, adding: "But it is to be hoped that the Brazilian statesmen will not sacrifice Fan-American-ism to Monroeism, except compatibly Avith Avhat the Latin republics enve to Europe and owe to their oavii destinies."

Minneapolis, Aug. 14. The rush of visitors to this city for the annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic continues unabated. Min
neapolis has risen to the occasion in
magnificent fashion, and it is difficult to mention anything that could be done for the entertainment and com

questions in a satisafctory manner
A feature of the thoughtfulness that
underlies the entire work so far done by the local entertainment committee
is found in the numerous benches that
are stretched along both sides of all
the downtown streets. They are rough
affairs, fashioned crudely out of unplaued plank, but they aflord a rest
ing place for tens of thousands of
Avearied pedestrains. No feature of the campment has been so productive of
comfort and satisfactoriou. The city
