The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...SEPTEMBER 2, 1897 SUPERVISOR POTTER is about to inaugurate a plan for the sprinkling of the county roads in this district. The sprinkling will begin at Placentia avenue, and run along the county road to Fullerton, thence hitherward, through town and on as far as Mirafores. A 25,000 gallon cistern is being placed in position at Botsford's southeast corner, which will be filled with water from the irrigating ditch. From this water will be taken up into the sprinkling cart by means of a small gasoline engine attached to the wagon. The road toward Fullerton and thence to the northern limits of this city will be sprinkled with water taken from this cistern and from the cement ditches on the route. South of town, two surface wells will be sunk and wind mills and tanks erected. The distance to be sprinkled will be about 18 miles. These roads have all been graveled and in order to preserve them in proper condition it will be necessary to sprinkle them, which it is thought can be done at a very slight increase in the tax rate. The amount now expended upon the county roads is something in excess of $20,000 a year, seemingly an exhorbitant amount, but it is strange it is not greater, when it is known that so much of the work done upon the roads is only of a temporary character. Much of this temporary expense will be done away with, once the roads are properly graded and preserved by sprinkling. Supervisor Smith has been sprinkling the roads diverging in the four directions from Tustin for some time past, an entire distance of some eight or ten miles, and the best of results have been accomplished at a minimum of outlay. Mr. Potter has strawed the county road from the southern city limits to Mirafores and will straw other pieces of road hereabout, as a temporary expedient; but he feels that nothing permanent can be done until the roads are sprinkled given, attended by the beaux and belles from the entire countryside, some coming as far as from Los Angeles, then a pretentious and hustling town. At these parties a sumptuous midnight supper was one of the features. Here the stage stopped daily at noon, on its way from Los Angeles to San Diego, bringing mail for the residents of the settlement. One day a gentleman dressed in ministerial garb stepped off the stage, with his young and blushing daughter, who had traveled all the way from a northern county in search of a certain young man who had lately arrived in town. The young fellow was of easy address and well attired, and had found no difficulty in securing employment at a flourishing mercantile establishment doing business here. The ministerial gentleman, after registering himself and daughter, and being shown to rooms, salied forth in quest of the young Lothario, and coming upon him in the store, laid forcible hands upon him, and grabbing him by the coat collar, marched him over to the hotel, where a speedy marriage was performed, the young man being the groom and the daughter the bride, and the old man being the minister. The girl had been basely deceived by the young man, and thus a wrong was righted. That was the first "shotgun marriage" ever recorded in Anaheim, and for aught we know the young couple lived happily together ever afterwards. The compulsory marriage formed the topic of a nine-day sensation in the colony, but has long since passed out of the recollection of many. The Anaheim hotel was a pretentious combined frame and adobe building, and was torn down in 1877 to make room for the brick structure at present standing upon the site.

PARIS, Aug. 31.-The reception of President Faure upon the occasion of his return from Russia, after participating in the arrangement resulting in the alliance of Russia and France, was an especially brilliant affair. Await- IN conversation the other day with a well-known resident of Santa Ana, whose identity shall pass unrevealed except in so far as he is known to be as well posted on Republican politics as he is an authority on horse racing, he informed us, as illustrative of the fact that times are getting better and money easier, that he had recently been paid $1000 by a populist friend who had purchased a ranch from him some years ago, and who had just been able to meet his obligations. Of this money $498 was in silver, and when it was taken to the bank to be deposited, the cashier observed: "Why, this money has been buried!" Our informant had been of the same opinion, as the silver showed unmistakable signs of having been underground, and the observation of the banker only served as corroborative testimony. But the funny part of the whole transaction, as our friend pointed out, is that the purchaser of the property had been shouting hard times and scarcity of money and impending panic during the entire campaign last Fall; when as a matter of fact, had the truth been told, he might have been considered a bloated bondholder on a small scale himself. Money is being drawn from its hiding places in old stockings and out-of-the-way places, and dug from the ground and put in circulation. Times are getting better, confidence is being restored, and there is going to be a great race program at the Santa Ana track this Fall. We had the pleasure on Friday last of meeting our old-time fellow-citizen, Louis Mendelson of San Diego, who for years past has been prominently identified with the Lower California Development Company, and who paid a visit to Anaheim, in company of his little eleven-year-old daughter Lulu, after an absence of a number of years. Mr. Mendelson was among the most popular men hereabout during the early Pioneer days, and though that of this temporary expense will be done away with, once the roads are properly graded and preserved by sprinkling, Supervisor Smith has been sprinkling the roads diverging in the four directions from Tustin for some time past, an entire distance of some eight or ten miles, and the best of results have been accomplished at a minimum of outlay. Mr. Potter has strawed the county road from the southern city limits to Miraflores and will straw other pieces of road hereabout, as a temporary expedient; but he feels that nothing permanent can be done until the roads are sprinkled. He intends having the work far enough advanced to inaugurate the sprinkling this Fall. He will meet with the cordial co-operation of our people in the praiseworthy undertaking, for by good roads, more than any other one thing, is the name of a city established, and the business interests of its citizens more surely subserved thereby. A score of teams will come to town with good roads to travel over, when hardly a single-one comes with bad roads to encounter. FRENCH ENTHUSE. Glorification Over the Return of M. Faure from Russia. PARIS, Aug. 31.-The reception of President Faure upon the occasion of his return from Russia, after participating in the arrangement resulting in the alliance of Russia and France, was an especially brilliant affair. Awaiting the arrival of President Faure were large bodies of troops in the vicinity of the Gare du Nord, including the white artillery garrison from Mont Villier. President Faure looked robust and bronzed as the result of the voyage. The crush at the Place de l'Opera was so great that the combined efforts of the Municipal Guards, chaseurs, mounted gendarmerie and brigades of police were hardly sufficient to keep order. As the Presidential procession moved along the streets the crowd began to sway and move about. The excitement reaching the climax as President Faure drove up, bareheaded and acknowledged the shouts of welcome. M. Glone sat on the right of the President, opposite being Gen. Le Tournies and Baron Friederichs. In the second carriage were M. Hanotaux and three generals. Then followed a long line of carriages containing officials who met the Presidential party at the station. In the Place de l'Opera a large platform had been erected, and upon it were assembled the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Paris, which had arranged the decorations and which had been commissioned to welcome the President back from Russia. M. Faure alighted at the picturesque grand stand, decorated with crimson and gold. The band played the "Marseillaise," and a massed chorus sang the Russian hymn, unaccompanied with a solemn, thrilling effect. The chairman of the committee of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry then read an address to the President. After President Faure had briefly replied to the address of welcome the procession of the presidential party to the Elysee Palace was resumed. Three performances were given during the afternoon at the Theatre Francaise, and in the evening at the Opera. The people awaited the whole day to gain admission. The only discordant note at night was the holding of two socialists meetings to protest against the government's policy. President Faure gave a banquet to all of the ministers at the Elysee. Telegrams were received from the principal towns, announcing that fetes were in full swing in various portions of the republic. PARIS, Aug. 31.-(Midnight.)—At 11 o'clock tonight a band of 150 persons, with flags flying, left the Opera and proceeded in direction of the Elysee, shouting, "Down with Emperor William." The police stopped the procession on Rue Aguesseau. The band dispersed after a scuffle. Two of the leaders were placed under arrest. VOICE OF THE PRESS. WELL, WELL! Santa Ana Cor. L. A. Times.

Carl.L.CrewtoMauk WE had the pleasure on Friday last of meeting our old-time fellow-citizen, Louis Mendelson of San Diego, who for years past has been prominently identified with the Lower California Development Company, and who paid a visit to Anaheim, in company of his little eleven-year-old daughter Lulu, after an absence of a number of years. Mr. Mendelson was among the most popular men hereabout during the early Pioneer days, and though that was quite a little time ago, yet he preserves the vigor of his youth and the captivating suavity of address for which he was noted in those early days of the settlement. For many years past he has been a resident of San Diego, and has taken an active hand in the development of Lower California. On the occasion of the visit of the editorial association to Coronado, some years ago, he was indefatigable in his endeavor to please the newspapermen on the bay trip—one of the pleasantest features of the meeting. Mr. Mendelson sees ahead a great future for San Diego in the establishment of an Oriental line of steamships and the settlement of their "water question." He has tended to embonpoint since the days of the Pioneers, but is just as companionable and level-headed as ever. He returned south on the evening train with his daughter, intending to stop over at Capistrano for a short visit with his brother, and to resume his homeward journey Sunday evening. EVIDENTLY Alger doesn't believe in advertising. THE announcement of the death of Carl Van Gulpen, which occurred at his home in Alameda on Saturday last, recalls many reminiscences regarding him and his family who were among the early Pioneers of Anaheim. Van Gulpen was one of the original settlers, and owned the 20 acres now occupied by Theo Rimpau on Palm street. After disposing of the lot, he started the Anaheim hotel, located where Fred Backs' furniture store now stands. Here the Pioneers gathered in the early days for an occasional hop, for be it known that along with the hardships encountered by the hardy lot who made the desert to blossom as the rose, there were many moments of pleasure sandwiched in between those early days of toll. During the season, an occasional large ball would be PARIS, Aug. 31.—(Midnight.)—At 11 o'clock tonight a band of 150 persons, with flags flying, left the Opera and proceeded in the direction of the Elysee, shouting, "Down with Emperor William." The police stopped the procession on Rue Aguesseau. The band dispersed after a scuffle. Two of the leaders were placed under arrest. VOICE OF THE PRESS. WELL, WELL, WELL! Santa Ana Cor. L. A. Times. Uncle Johnny Pfeninger has not given up his suit for damages against Jacob Wintter, who administered a sound thrashing to said Pfeninger about four months ago. He claims $5000 as satisfaction for injuries done his person and his reputation. The suit was filed some time ago, but was knocked out on a motion to quash summons. Pfeninger, through his attorney, has now made application to file a new summons, and if this is allowed the case will be prosecuted. Pfeninger says that after this case is disposed of he intends to bring action against several newspapers which he thinks have misrepresented him. Since his trial and conviction on the charge of assault upon a young girl whom he had adopted as his ward, Pfeninger has looked upon the papers as a thorn in the flesh, and has his eye "sot" on making them keep still or "pungle up." SURE! From the Blade. We venture the assertion that no county in the state of California can show a list of newspapers more loyal to her best interests than can Orange. This remark is called forth after having carefully examined the different publications extending over a period of two years. They may make mistakes at times and they doubtless do. A careful study of the editorial and local columns of each or any of them will substantiate the opening statement of this paragraph. Some of them are published in towns where local news is none too plentiful; where the patronage is light and the editor himself opposed by or opposing some clique or faction. But we notice all personal friction is dropped with a surprising unanimity whenever the county's interest is at stake. May the GAZETTE long continue in its Independent course as a Standard weekly paper doing yeomen work for its town and county; let the Post continue to give the News and the Tribune to Herald far and near the claims of the city it represents. The division headquarters and operating department of the Southern California railway will be removed from Los Angeles to San Bernardino this week. The company's repair shops at Albuquerque will also be moved to San Bernardino. Furnished by the Orange company, Santa Ana. E. V.

Slow Shipments During the Week—The Crop Well Out. Not to exceed 1500 tons beets were shipped to Chino from the three shipping points in this neighborhood this week. No beets were shipped on Thursday nor Friday, nor were any sent out on Monday. On Tuesday about 300 tons were sent forward, and matters were comparatively quiet at the laboratory, the tests going over as usual to be made the next day. Yesterday the same amount of beets were sent out, and probably the shipments will not largely exceed these figures daily during the remainder of the campaign. The latest reports from Chino are that the farmers are anxious to harvest a greater acreage, but the low tests of sugar and purity will prevent any extensive delivery. Furthermore it is stated that many beets are taking on a second growth, and as a consequence many farmers will have to silo their beets, that is dig them to prevent them from acquiring a second growth, and place them under ground to keep them until such time as they may ripen sufficiently to permit of their acceptance at the factory. As a consequence of the lateness of the season, it is expected the harvest at Chino will be delayed until December, and some estimates place the end as late as December 15. If the crops come early many thousands of tons of beets will inevitably be ruined. Here the crop will be out between Oct. 15th and Nov. 1st, even with the shipments not exceeding 300 tons per day: with an occasional lay-off of a day or two per week. The beets of this valley are at least six weeks ahead of those at Chino. Tests of the beets during the week have been as follows: SUGAR. PURITY. R. H. Coffee...20.3 81.7 E. L. Kellogg...15.2 81.2 W.

Clancy will accordingly draw to furthur warrants for the above officers on a salary basis. It is stated that one of the township officers propose to test the matter in the courts. WORLD'S GRAIN CROP. United States and Canada Will Feed the Millions of People in Europe. BUDAPEST, August 29.-The Ministry of Agriculture has issued its annual estimate in which it describes the world's harvest as extraordinarily light. The total yield of wheat is placed at 573,000,000 metric hundred weight, while the present annual requirements are estimated at 655,510,000 metric hundred weights. It is calculated that for 1897 and 1898 there will be a shortage of 50,800,000 hundred weight. The stocks remaining on hand from 1896 are approximately estimated at somewhere between 38,000,000 and 45,-000,000. The total supply for the year, reckoning both the present stocks and the harvest, is estimated from 610,000-000 to 651,000,000 metric hundred weight. The world's deficits are estimated as follows: Rye, 67,000,000 hectoliters (2.75 bushels), barley, 38,000,000 oats; f grains, 58,000,000 corn; f grains, 59,000,000 The reports state that many exporting countries, such as Turkey, Egypt, Australia and Austria-Hungary, will either be unable to export grain or will be compelled to import, while others, including British India, Argentine and Chile, will have their wheat export considerably reduced. The favored countries are the United States and Canada. The latter will soon be one of the most important of the exporting countries, its excess over last years' productions being 70,000,000 bushels of wheat and 20,000,000 of oats. and Dawson City, will be forwarded from Seattle by a steamer leaving there Sept. 11. From that time forward letter mail will go over the new service regularly once a month. The last opportunity to send newspapers and reading matter generally into the gold region until next spring will be afforded by the "paper mail," the last of the season, which will be forwarded by steamer, leaving San Francisco on Sept. 5. Unofficial advices have reached the Postoffice Department that the British government is contemplating the establishment of another postal route into the Klondike region from the coast to almost wholly within their territory. The entrance from the coast is to be effected, according to the new plan, by means of the Sticken River, which has its mouth on the United States side of the new line, the passage through which is free to all.The scheme, as it is being projected, is for the British mail-carrying vessels to go in near the Prince of Wales Islands, up the Sticken River, thence from near its head above Fort Wrangel across overland about one hundred and fifty miles to Teslin (or Aklene) up the Hoodalinqua and Lewis rivers to the boom district. Acting Postmaster-General Shallenberger and his assistants were busily engaged to-day going over the details of the new mail route from Dyea to Dawson City, made by agreement between this country and Canada, and perfecting the arrangements for the change upon the part of the United States. Reports have reached here that persons acquainted with the Alaskan gold situation believe that the Copper River Valley will be the scene of great activity very soon. This news comes in a personal way from postal authorities who have had no opportunity to inquire into the matter. It is based not only on the reported productivity of the valley, but largely on the proscriptive measures the Canadian government is reported to be about to establish, taking every alternate claim and demanding 20 per cent of the other profits. Mrs. Frances E. Middleton, wife of George Middleton, the Chicago theatre manager, stabbed Belle Carmen, a pretty variety actress, Monday night, inflicting six wounds. The injuries may prove fatal. Jealousy was the cause. Mrs Middleton claimed that Miss Carmen had alienated her husband's affections. Although the victim of the assault may die the police permitted Mrs. Middleton to go home after making a statement saying that she would be on hand when wanted.

The latter will soon be one of the most important of the exporting countries, its excess over last year's productions being 70,000,000 bushels of wheat and 20,000,000 of oats. Its output of all sorts of grain was 270,-000,000 bushels. The yield of wheat in Great Britain this season is 50,000-000 bushels, against 63,000,000 last year. The wheat area of British India is reduced from 23,000,000 acres to 15,000,000 and the wheat yield from 234,000,000 bushels to 202,000,000 bushels. The United States which has reduced its area sown in oats by 2,000,000 acres, that sown in corn by 1,500,000 acres, while that in other grain remains nearly unchanged, will nevertheless dispose of 534,000,000 bushels of wheat against 434,000,000 bushels last year. The price of bread in Austria has already risen 3 per cent. THE WAR IN CUBA. HAVANA, Aug. 31.—Gen. Weyler, in issuing a recent pronounciamento declaring that three of the Cuban provinces were pacified, ordered that all pacificos who had been held in durance as suspects should be released. This order gave freedom to 34 young Cubans, who had been prisoners among others for two and a half years at the Spanish penal colony of Ceuta, in Morocco. They were taken across the straits to Gibraltar and left there penitiles. Jose Prinelles of New York provided with a subscription fund, has just returned with fifteen of the released pacificos, this being as many as the fund enabled him to pay passage for. The remaining nineteen are still in Gibraltar, some with friends, and all getting food and shelter as best they can. There were over 40 men in the prison and many of them were sick, but if one complained, he was confined to a cell and denied medical attendance instead of being sent to the hospital. The prison they describe as being filthy. No attention was paid to sanitary conditions. The cells were gloomy; damp pumples with musty filth that encrusted the floors. Of the mortality in the prison, the pacificos knew nothing. They thought of the place, evenas they had known it, with horror, and Mr. Prinelles said they did not like to recall it. They were satisfied to be free. Many of the returning men do not yet know what the fate of their families has been. Some have been killed in battle, some imprisoned and some tortured. Valdez learned last night that a brother had been killed in battle. HAVANA, Aug. 30.—The sensational victorious march of the Cubans under Maximo Gomez and Antonio Maceo, the entire length of the island in Martinez Campos' time, has just been duplicated by Quintin Banderas. The negro war captain, than whom no Cuban of the colored race, excepting only Maceo, perhaps, has won greater honor in the struggle for independence led 12,000 men from the eastern end of the island, where the patriots are strongest; to the western end, where since Maceo's death, the cause has not prospered so well. These 12,000 men represented all branches of the Cuban service. They penetrated into Mrs. Frances E. Middleton, wife of George Middleton, the Chicago theatrical manager, stabbed Belle Carmen, a pretty variety actress Monday night, inflicting six wounds. The injuries may prove fatal. Jealousy was the cause. Mrs. Middleton claimed that Miss Carmen had alienated her husband's affections. Although the victim of the assault may die the police permitted Mrs. Middleton to go home after making a statement saying that she would be on hand when wanted. The assault was committed about midnight at the corner of Clark and Monroe streets, where the women met. Miss Margaret Craven, daughter of the defendant in the Angus-Craven suit, who claims a portion of the estate of the late Senator Fair, in San Francisco, was married yesterday to Henry Koehler, president of the American Brewery company of St. Louis. Miss Craven is a professional actress and is noted for her beauty. The groom is 35 years old and a millionaire. The engagement was announced some time ago，但 was denied. It is now stated that the wedding was postponed until Miss Craven had testified in her mother's behalf. This she did last week and the marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. M. Gibson of the First United Presbyterian church. Judge Sewell in the Superior Court of San Francisco rendered an opinion in the suit of the First National Bank of that city to recover $289 paid under protest for taxes on personal property. The bank officials claimed that under the national banking act the state has no authority to levy taxes on the personal property of national banks. Judge Sewell held adversely to that claim. He construed the law exempting national banks from paying taxes on personal property to apply only to the stock of the banks. Timothy Trainor, an Oakland boy, who has been an outcast from his home for many years, returned to the parental roof at midnight on Saturday. His father refused to take him in and he stabbed the old man so seriously that he is being held in the city prison upon a charge of assault to murder." I was afraid of the boy," said Mr. Trainor. "He had threatened me before and I was afraid to let him into the house." I told him that he could not come in and he insisted, and when I would not let him in he drew his knife and stabbed me." Young Trainor is scarcely 25 years of age. He was born in Oakland and his record is not good. The wheat blockage in the interior of the State is being transferred to the water front of San Francisco. The seawall is packed but steamers continue to arrive with heavy cargoes of grain. The ships which are to take cargoes of wheat cannot be loaded at the seawall fast enough and some have taken berths along the front at other available places. The result is that every wharf is crowded and ships are And with that I upgain upstairs.

A Meeting With a Gentle Hearted Woman Backed by a Ferocious Dog. "At the foot of the stairs in the front hall of a farmhouse one night," said the retired burglar, "I stumbled over something soft that turned out to be a feather bed. If I had had a grain of sense at all, I should have suspicion something from that, but I didn't. It looked as though it had been just tumbled down stairs and left there to be carried off in the morning, and I let it go at that and stepped into it and over it to the first step of the stairs and on up. "Stepping up on the fourth step, I kicked against a string stretched across the stairs and broke it. That made me suspicious, but I never connected the feather bed at the foot of the stairs with it. I looked up. I expected it to be connected with something there. And it was, and it was coming down the stairs at me and filling up the whole stairway. It was a big feather bed. Even then I didn't see that one coming down had anything to do with the one down on the floor, and at the same time I couldn't understand why anybody should roll anything like a feather bed down on anybody—bulky, to be sure, but so light that it was an easy thing to stop. "I put up my hands to stop this one, but might just as well have tried to stop a mountain. It was soft and aquahy on the outside, but it weighed a ton. I just bowled me right over backward, and I fell on the other feather bed at the foot of the stairs. Then I began to understand what that one was for. It was to save the bones of the man that was tumbled over by the avanhebe bed. "I lay there nearly amothered by the bed on top and working out from under it gradually. "I hope you are not hurt!" I heard somebody say from over the railing along the hall up stairs, and I said, 'No, ma'am,' because it was a female voice, and I am always polite to the ladies, 'but would you mind telling me what's inside the one that came down?' "Oh,' she said, 'it's the summer range, with the flatirons inside. Can you lift it off, or shall I let the dog come down and help you?' "And with that I heard a dog scratching up stairs. I supposed it started him up to hear himself spoken of, and I judged from the sound of his claws on the carpet that he must have been about the size of a tiger and of about the same kind of disposition." "No,' I says, 'I can get clear of it.' And I did and stood up in the hall. LOCATION OF PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS—BROOKSHURST, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

Energy From Volcanic Heat. The energy stored in the coal beds has rightly been referred back to the sun, and it is no doubt to the same source that we should ultimately attribute the heat developed at great depths below the surface of the earth. While it is believed that no practical attempts to utilize this subterranean heat have yet been carried into effect, there appears to be no good reason why the attempt should not be made, especially in volcanic regions, where quite high temperatures should be revealed at moderate depths. In a Colorado mining town an interesting combination was recently observed which a little ingenuity might have converted into a considerable source of power. Within 20 feet of each other were two springs, one of a temperature of nearly 200 degrees F., and the other not over 60, the flow of each being very uniform and the temperature quite constant. The theoretical efficiency might readily be determined from the well known law of thermodynamics, and the use of one stream to vaporize and the other to condense some volatile liquid, such as ammonia or bisulphide of carbon, might enable a fair percentage of the energy to be utilized which is now running to waste.—Cassier's Magazine. She Had a Reason. "I don't believe Sallie can know that rich old Brown or she'd never marry him in spite of all his money." "Why not?" "He has such a violent temper." "Oh, that's all right.

How a Chinese workman manages to support his family and remain sleek and fat on the wages he receives is an everlasting mystery to the European and American. The Chinese are a people of marvelous economy. They will support a family, furnishing food, clothes, shelter, from a small garden which they call a farm, but which in America would not more than furnish an American family with early vegetables. In cities the laboring men receive the merest pittance. In Canton, where laborers are better paid than in other parts of China, skilled workmen live on these wages: Shoemaker, $4 per month; blacksmith, $5 per month; fine ivory carver, $12 per month; tailor, $5 per month; fine embroiderer, $4 per month; designer, $6 per month; silversmith, $8 per month. The Chinese are superstitious, and the workmen support, in addition to their temples and pagodas and priests, which receive more in proportion than the churches of Europe and America, idol makers, geomancers, fortune tellers, physiognomists, soothsayers, astrologers and interpreters of dreams, who exist by thousands and coin all the money they want. Another thing which makes money for a certain class is the Chinese custom of burning great quantities of "spirit money," imitation coins, which are supposed to be legal tender for dead relatives. One city alone employs 100,000 people in making this cash for ghosts. Peculiar superstitions embarrass the workman. For instance, carpenters and builders have to exercise great care in selecting a ridgepole for a house. It must have neither cracks nor knots, and in it a small hole must be made and filled with gold leaf and the whole beam painted red. This insures good luck for the owner of the house. The tea trade employs thousands of persons. The laborers receive from $2 to $10 per month, according to their grade of work—Chicago News.
