UP GOES THE PRICE OF LIVING.

Mint Director Say Era of Iiis? Prices Is Jait Dejflnnlnff. There is general agreement on the proposition that the cost of living has reached the point in this country where it i pinching, but it is next to impossible to get men to agree on the cause of the increase. It is a subject which the spellbinders will dilate upon in the fall cam paign. George E. Roberts, direct: of the mint, predicts that the era of high prices is only beginning and that the cost of living will go higher. "Even at the present excessive prices," he said, "we are not back to the average cost of living twenty years ago. Living is higher than it was ten years ago, but it is not as, costly as it was in the middle SO's. This is clearly shown by official tables on the average prices. Oar people are complaining over a comp.i risen of present prices with those of the panic years, when the whole country was cn the bargain counter. It is not fair to compare jears of relative properity, when everybody his work and money to spend, with years-- of universal depression, when, no matter how low prices may have been, a considerable portion of the people was without employment and. therefore, unable to take advantage of cheap prices. "Everybody has work in this country now or can get it. They are all buying things, and this in itself maintains a high er level of prices. The consumptive demand is out of all comparison to what it was daring the years of low prices. Our people are eating more and wearing more and better clothes than ever bef or. They are traveling more and spending money in every way freer than at any other time. Our exports, it mast be remembered also, practically have doubled In the last ten years. The pressure on every product is enormously greater and it is natural that prices should be bettr sustained." San Francisco, Cal., is to have a building trades temple. Over one thousand bartenders of New York City will demand higher wages. The work of organizing the machinists cf Cleveland, Ohio, is advancing rapidly. WHliam Foley of Boston, Mass., is the new head of the International Kteel and Copper riate Printers. Street car men of Chicago want a weekly pay day, an eight-hour day and a minimum wage cf CO cents an hour. Unionists of Roanoke, Va., Lave declared their local baseball team as unfair because they use non-union printing. There is a movement on foot in Pittsburg, Pa., to organize a new union labor pirty. Prominent trades union ofljcials are the projectors. Labor unions are being formed in Mexico, and when they are conducted along legitimate lines the government docs not Ini?ifere with them. The structural steel builders of New York have decided to form a national assxia'tion for the purpose of fighting the anions of steel workers. Retail Clerks' International Association will begin the payment of sick benefits to members who have been in continuous good standing on the books for a ;reriod of twelve months or more. "The United Railways and Electric Company of Baltimore, Md.. has shown its interest in the welfare of its employes br fitting up a club room where its army of men can find rest and recreation when 0 duty. Th first annual convention of the new Ito.lermaker and Iron Shipbuilders' Intcnational Union 'will be held in Boston, Mss., next April. The selection was made on a referfndum vote just ccm-p'-e :ed. Boston. Mass., musicians' local No. I'm, of the American Federation of Labor, the same international to which the b!g Boston Musicians' Protective Union, o. 0, belongs, was officially organized ;L week. It is composed exclusively of colored men. President Mitchell of the United Mine Werkers has been roundly criticised by some of the union leaders because he dreed with a number of bankers tnd financiers at Columbus, Ohio, on Labor day, and did not call upon the local officers of the organization. A movement to organize the machinists at. the naval gun factory, 'Washington, D. C is meeting with success. The Trades Unionist, organ of the Central Union, Js leading the agitation, and. despite a strong Parry organization, are brii3gi:i2 the competent workmen into line. On Sept. 1 a number of German miners, who had been engaged ostensibly to S'l new places in the mines at Jumet, Belgium, but who found that they were expected to take the place of a number of striking miners, flatly refused to go to work and proposed to prosecute the company for having misled them. London (England) printers hare obtained a decision from the Court of Last Appeal, which states that pvrketing is legal, and that no damages can be col lected by the employer. The union had been sued by a large publishing house. The arm won decisions and awards of dimajes in the lower courts. Ch.eago iron manufacturers are predicting the end of the molders' strike as a retult of the installation of a new type of molding machine. It is said that this rracbine turns out as much as three skill cd iron workers, And orders have been rttxt to New York for 500 of the new ma chines. New machines have been ordered alto for the mills in Milwaukee. Vegetarianism Defended. I The editor of the New York and Phila dtlphia Medical Journal says that vege tarianism now has acquired so many fol lovers that it is the duty of the physician to pay attention to this form of living. I.V. Rudolf Stahelin, a famous German authority, is quoted as saying that vegetarianism may be rightly adopted among our therapeutics, and his experiment! con firm the theory that the extract matter of meat has a dietetic influence. Ir. Stthelin concludes that under a milk diet the labor of the kidneys is less than under a meat diet. Increase of Insanity. Within the rast decade the number of hospitals for the insane has more than doubled, says the census bureau, and the number of inmates has increased from 74.000 ia 1S90 to over 150,000 in 1904. It al? appears that the rate of Increase is higher for men than for women, and high er for the labor and servant classes than for others. Kaiser Uses Divining Rod. The Emperor of Germany is reported to have put his faith in a divining rod which was recently used with success dur ing his recent residence at Wilhelmshohe. Leprosy "ot Incurable. Attain the world has been told by a noted physician, Dr. Oesprez of London, that leprosy is curable. He declares that the use of pure chaulmoogra oil has brought about numerous cures of this contagious disease. The process of cure by this method extends over a period of a o Earthquake Insurance. Nearly all the insurance companies operating in Chili havo naited in a declara tion against paying insurance damages caused bv fire during and afier the earth qua: which destroyed Valparaiso and damaged places alonj the coast.

AMERICANS IN CUBA.

ARMED GUARD FROM U. S. CRUISER IS LANDED. Vctlou Is Taken at the Rennest of PresNlent Palm, Who Feared of an I'prlslntr In Havana Troops to fiua-l American Interests. rroiidcnt Palma, In a moment of panh Thursday, asked for tbe pro tecion of American sailors and guns and 1".0 fcen were landed from the cruiser ener. Commander Colwell of the Denver and Mr. Sleeper, the American charge d'affaires, explain that the sailors were landed only to protect American Interests. It Is admitted, however. that President Palma asked for protection, fearing an almost Immediate attack on Havana frcm the rebels. Later In tbe night Commander Col well was shown a press dispatch from Washington stating that the sailors from the cruiser Denver had been or dered to return. He said he believed he had done right. However, if, after reaching an understanding of the situation, the Navy Department ordered the return of the sailors on board ship, the order would be carried out. President Palma and his colleagues n the government were in a state of demoralized panic when they asked that the sailors be landed. The rebels were at the doors of the city and a arge body started to march on Ha vana, ihe report was current that ino Guerra, at the head of 8,000 men, would enter the city and tbat the popul ation would rise almost as a rnit in his behalf. The administration already had lost control of the entire Island except ceraln considerable towns. Havana was solated, as the wires were cut In every direction. All railroads had suddenly been brought to a standstill. There were popular demonstrations every where In favor of the revolution. Officials were turning over towns to the rebels and the defeat cf the Palma administration seemed inevitable. It was these facts which led Palma to appeal for American sailors. ' . The landing of , tbe American force was followed by aa extraordinary Incident Commander Colwell was approached by an accredited emissary of Alfredo Zayas, president of the Liberal party, and Gen. Loynaz 6ol Castillo, commander of the insurgent forces In Havana province, with a signed offer from each of the men named to sur render their commands and hand over their arms to Commander Colwell on the sole condition that tbe United States government through him guarantee them fair and Judicial trials. Commander Colwell, accompanied by Charge d'Affaires Sleeper, Immediately carried the proposition to President Palma. The President was Immensely pleased and asked Colwell If be would accept the surrenders. Commander Col well replied In the negative, but advised the President to communicite with the Washington government on the subject. Hurry orders were Issued to com manders of cruisers Newark, Tacoma and Cleveland, at Nonoik. Va.. to preVi 1 '

THE CUBANS: "PLEASE

WH Chicago Inter Ocean. STORY OF CUBA'S STRIFE. Present Conditions la the Island and Causes Leading? Thereto. The present revolution in Cuba has set the eyes of the world on that island and the issues at stake are so important that every American wants to know the basic facts which have resulted in the present crisis, says a. writer in the New York Times. When Cuba was admitted into the faiuily of nations it was on tne understanding that she should abstain from the custm immemorial iu Latin-American countries of indulging in revolutions and revolts. It was stipulated that she should be good also that she should decide by the rules and regulations tacitly in force and effect in nations, pretending to civilization. The world did not take her unsupported word for this pledge. The United States went on her bond to heep the peace, and. as a consequence there was inserted in the treaty of Paris a clause which ia known as "the riatt amendment," which gives the United States government the right to interfere in Cuban affairs at any time when the peace and prosperity of Cuba are threatened. In any consideration of this Cuban problem and the people of the United States will have to consider it and settle it, whether they wish to or not there are certain essential facts which must be kept in mind. In the first place, Cuba is too valuable a piece of property to be made a perpetual battlefield. Not in all the world is there within reach of ipeedy development so matchless an area of territory awaiting the application of labor tempted by money. Cuba has a tillable area almost if not quite equal to that of Jeva Cuba has a scattered population of perhaps 1,750,000. Java supports a swarm of nearly 30,000,000. Cuba Is inevitably destined to become the agricultural Golconda of the earth, and from her exhaustless Roil tyf : v. '-wf 1 wir . .7 J If j T 1 r I it A.l J ; 1 I I 1 yf 1 there will be taken riches beyond the pres ent wildest of estimates. Nor is this all Havana, Matanzas and other beautiful cities are destined to become places of winter residence for tens of thousands of our citizens who can afford to escape from the discomforts and dangers of our northern climate. Tbe second reason is assoeiajed witli the one just given. The development of Cuba will be the result of the investment of American money in undertakings which will be executed by the application of American genius, skill and labor. Native Cubans and Spaniards will share in this work, and citizens of Canada, England and other countries will flock to this ceo ter of activity, but American enterprise will bear the brunt of the task and will reap the bulk of the rewards. American capitalists invested in Cuba on the strength of the Piatt amendment, and they Famine is reported in Bengal following floods and a poor harvest. Marquis di San Guiliano has ben appointed Italian ambassador to England. Mrs. Jennie Cook, employed as an assistant to Matron Pratt at the detenion home in Los Angeles, Cal., was shot and almost instantly killed by her divoieed husband. The Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, the economical societies and the League for Industrial Defense have forwarded congratulatory addresses to the minister of finance relative to the conclusion of the Spanish-American commercial treaty. Ricardo Forte was hanged in West Chester, Pa., for the murder of two children, Marie and Dominick Di Lucca, oged 4 and 9 years respectively. Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte has taken up the case of the naval officers concerned In the collTsion between the battleships Alabama and Illinois when the Atlarfic fleet was entering the harbor of Newport, July 31. The annual report of the Denver and Bio Grande Railroad Company for the year ended June 30 shows gross earnings of $19,G8C,115, an increase over the previous year of $2,C54,C0G. The net earnings were $7,581,913, an increase of $519,-307.

TRY TO STOP US."

look to thtf United States for the protection pledged them. The causes underlying the present volt in Cuba jre various. In the first place, her people are not immune from that predilection of all Latin-American countries which makes them prefer an appeal to arms rather than recourse to the peaceful arbitration of the ballot box. In the second place, too many of the male inhabitants of Cuba of voting age isire to hold political or military positions, and there are not, and never will be, enough paying positions to go around. In the third place, there are several thousand men on the island who have been engaged in wars since they were boys, and who do not know how to do anything else and who do not care to learn. Ever since Columbus discovered Cuba ic has been a battlefield. For 150 years prior to the Spanish-American war the native Cubans and the negroes were at almost constant warfare against the Spanish authorities. Time and again, until the record is tiresome, the island was devastated. Sugar cane fields and mills wejfc" burned, tobacco plantations laid waste, and the land marked with ruin from Capes Maisi to San Antonio. Yet such we.s the natural productivity of the soil tbat fortunes were made in the intervals of peace, and billions of wealth poured into Spain from the land it misgoverned. Our war with Spain was waged to the purpose that the long era of oppression, bloodshed and lawlessness should forever end. In order that we might be acquitted of any national ambition of new territory, we freely permitted Cuba to attempt the task and to assume the responsibilities of self-government. It is probably true that there was sharp practice and oi-n fraud in the last national election in Cuba. There is good reason to believe that President Palma of the Moderates is not tho- choice of the majority of the qualified voters of the new republic, but it is equally certain that an armed revolt would have followed th? election of any Liberal candidate who might have been named. T"hre arei scores of complications and jealousies which enter into this problem, but they nil tend to confirm the one conclusion, and that is that the character of the Cuban population is such as to render the continued experiment of national self-povernment too hazardous to be tolerated by the United States. Tills is not the language of diplomacy, but it expresses a truth which 'will be recognized sooner or later The Cuban Congress tuet in extraordinary session Friday; bills prepared authorize Palma to use 25.000.liüü to supjress the Insurrection and permit hhn to suppress newspapers and deport for eigners. Troops are being drawn into Havana In expectation of rebel attack. STATUE TO M'KINLEY. The aso.OOO Memorial to Martyr President Is Unveiled. People from all over Ohio were present at the unveiling of the $."0,000 bronze statue of the late President McKinley, which faces High street from the west front of the State capitol at Columbus. The principal figure of the thousands of persons who packed the 6treets and the capitol grounds were Mrs. Alice Roose-velt-Longworth, daughter of the Presi dent, who unveiled the statue. The two principal orators of the occasion were Justice William It. Pay of the United States Supreme Court and United States Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia. Gen. R. B. Brown of Zanesville, Ohio, head of the Grand Army of the Republic, and Gen. Joseph W. Kay cf New York, past national commander of the Union Veterans' Legion, and Gov. Harris also made addresses. Elaborate preparations were made for the dedication, but there was no ostentatious display or formal parade. An immense open stand, seatin;? 4,000 people, handsomely decorated with flags and bunting, was erected along the entire west front of the capitol building, and it was occupied by distinguished Buckeyes from all over Ohio. Mrs. Longworth and her immediate party occupied an especially constructed stand jutting out from the center of the general stand, and she could thus be easily seen by all. The wide space of ground between her and the statue was packed with people. The exercises, held on the anniversary of McKinley' death, opened with an overture by Neddermeyer's band, followed by a song by the Republican Glee Club. The Hev. Washington Gladden offered prayer and Gov. Harris, as president of the day, delivered a short speech. Justice Day followed. Danclns; In Cleveland Schools. The director of physical culture in the public schools of Cleveland has engaged a New York dancing teacher to introduce folk dances among the pupils after school hours. If this extra proves successful he ,will make it a part of the regular course. More Time for Dr. Crapsy. In spite of much opposition from the West, the court of review of the Protestant Episcopal church at New York decided to postpone its hearing of the famous heresy case of Kev. Algernon S. Crapsy until Oct. 19. Itevlvul of the Ko Klnx Klan. In Fulton county, Ga., a revival of the anti-negro organization, known as the Ku Klux Klan, which drove terror to the hearts of the negroes during the reconstruction period, has grown out of the numerous attacks of negroes on white women in and near Atlanta. The organization will not bear the name f the Ku Klux Klan, but its purpose will be the same, namely, to discipline q- verawe the ignorant class of negroes. R. G. Swadey, reputed to be a wealthy Chicagoan, has married Rhoda Hancock, a nurse girl employed by a Denver (Colo.) family.

ULTIMATUM TO CUBA.

GIVEN ALTERNATIVE OF PEACE OR INTERVENTION. - K-!ain Informed that Vnitert States Will Take Charge of Affair Unle RcIbtii of Anarchy Cuds Tuft and Hacon to Havana. President Roosevelt has addressed to the Cuban pec pie what practically is an Ultimatum. He declared that a permanent peace must at once be arranged in tbe islaad or ele the United States will intervene by armed force under the authority cf the Piatt amendment. Tins was the obvious and clear-cut latent of a letter diplomatically addressed to Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister, who is now in Lisbon' but which, the President in the body of the letter states, really is intended for the Cuban government and the Cuban people. In accordance with this specific punuse the President says he has directed tbe letter's "immediate publication." Cnlian Government Incapable. President Roosevelt declares In this letter that tbe present Cuban government, by its own act and admissions, has proven Itself incapable 'of maintaining order throughout the island. It has failed to protect tbe lives and property cither of its own citizens or foreign residents of the island. This condition of anarchy, the Tresi dent insists, must end. Tbe present civil war must cease and arrangements be made for an immediate and permanent peace. In order that arrangements for such peace may be made tbe President It sending Secretary of War Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon to Havana. It Is their duty to see that the necessary arrangements are carried cut. To meet any unexpected crisis that may arise before peace can be restored President Roosevelt has arranged foi the Immediate dispatch to Havana oi six more cruisers and 2,000 marines. The cruisers selected for Cuban ser vice are: Des Moine Two hundred marines! sailed from Key West Dixie Three hundred marines; 6ailec from Guantanamo. Tacoma Three hundred marines; sail ed from Norfolk, Va. Cleveland Three hundred marines seiled from Norfolk, Va. Minneapolis Three hundred marines: under ?team at League Island navy yard Philadelphia, waiting orders. Newark Three hundred marines, ready to sail from Norfolk, Va., at hour's notice. Admits Crisis Is Grave. The decision to have a force of 2,00( fighting men ready to set foot on Cubar soil at any time the situation demands their presence there illustrates tht alarm with which the government views the situation In Cuba. It was for the purpose of preparing to meel the worst that President Roosevelt who has been keplng his hand at tbt helm In the Cuban matter, called Sec retary of War Taft from his vacation and summoned Secretary of the Nav3 Itonaparte and Acting Secretary 01 State Bacon to Oyster Bay for a con ference. Storage rinttery Car Test. A new electric storage battery passen' ger car, built for the Missouri and Kansas City interurban railway, started last Sun day from Philadelphia, under its owi power, for Kansas City. This car, whicl was built by the Brill company of Phila delphia and the Strang gas electric ol Iloboken, is driven by storage batteries fed by dynamos operated by a gas engine It is designed to run at an average speet of fifty -five miles an hour. The Chicagt and Alton has ordered six of them for sub urban traffic, and fifteen are to go to Bra zil. The car measures 52 feet U inches being a combination smoker and passen ger, with seating. capacity for forty-tw people. It is expected that by using this style of car the cost of railroad construe tion may be reduced $d,0U0 a mile and th operation in proportion. New Balloon Steering Device. Dr. Julian P. Thomas, the New Yorl amateur aeronaut, appears to have addec another score to his record of scientific achievement by the application of a new skiing device in his recent night voyag on the balloon "Nirvana" from New Yorl City to Oakland Valley, N. Y. He hat adjusted a bicycle frame and pedals t the basket so that by pedaling he couh 1 evolve a rropeller at different angles. IL found that he could steer before the win at any desired slant, and that he coult raise or lower the balloon without throw ing out ballast. This device worked well however, only up to a height of oOO feet as beyond that height the rarefied ah made the work of pedaling too exhausting upon Dr. Thomas lungs. During the voy age he tested another new device fo: determining the direction in a fog by set ting loose a number of toy balloons. A I'nlversltr Ilfe Class. Th? university of California is disturb cl over the refusal of Tm-ident Wheelei to permit Prof. Seawell of the Depart inent of Architecture to establish a lif class in art, with studies from the nude The art instructor has arranged for t studio outside of the campus in whicl to couduct his life class.

The commercial conditions evince seasonable expansion and are supported Chicago. sy developments which materially entourage Industrial enterprise. Fall ac tivity is practically entered upon with in accumulation of forward work hith?rto unsurpassed in its demands upon leading producer.?. This Involves enormous use of capital, and it is very opportune tbat the bank statements this week reflect gains In the aggregated de posits and-.'rm'ier cash accumulations than thoc of a year ago. Notwithstanding the extreme pressure to which plants are subjected, it is noted that there is steadiness in the quantities turned out, especially of manufactured materials, and that this is accompanied by an unprecedented iistributiou of general mercliandise. The wholesale markets show an unusually large attendance of outside buyers and this has stimulated Increased bookings for staple wares suitable to the cold weather trade. Many new accounts have been opened among the Jobbing branches, and heavy shipments proceed to Tacific and Southern points, the orders for tue latter section being the best ever entered here. No injury has happened to the extraordinary corn rrop and the rapidly approaching harrest Imparts added confidence In future business projects. While the discount rates for money have become firmer, legitimate borrowing Is not made d!Öcult and mercantile collections continue satisfactory. Although the average cost of raw materials has advanced to an exceptionally high level, there Is no serious complaint from consumers, and new demands for supplies remain unabated.
