Within the past two days fully 8000 workmen, largely employed in the various mills controlled by the American steel and wire company in this city, have been notified of an increase in wages ranging from 5 to 10 per cent. The flood of orders, revival in the steel trade and advance in prices for finished material are given as reasons for the advance. LEBANON (Pa.), March 2. The management of the Pennsylvania bolt and nut works announces a 10 per cent increase in the wages in the pudding and rolling departments, to take effect April 1. The Lebanon rolling mills also give notice of a similar increase in the wages of the employees of that establishment. The employees of Swedes' furnace at Morristown have received a 10 per cent advance. MARTINS FERRY (O.), March 2. The American tinplate company today gave notice of an increase in wages in all its plants. The men affected are those who have been receiving less than $2 50 per day; the increase ranging from 5 to 10 per cent a day. Fully 10,000 men will be benefited by the advance. MANCHESTER (N. H.), March 2. The directors of the Amoskeag corporation voted today to restore the wages of 1897 after April 3. The increase amounts to more than 10 per cent. The company employs 10,000 hands.

N. E. Bailey, who spent several days with his folks here during the week, received a letter some days ago from Corporal Hanley, formerly of his company, who is now at Matanzas, having been transferred from the New Mexican regiment to the signal service. From the letter we take the following extracts: Private Freeman, whom Hanley refers to, is a son of Dr. Freeman of Fullerton. The letter is of date Matanzas de Cuba, Feb. 5, 1899: This country is pretty much the same as Mexico, with less barrenness. There are some pretty places, and in the interior, where the plantations were not destroyed, are grand sights. Railroading is in its infancy, you might say, and very much of back date. The transportation department as yet is run by Spaniards and natives. The army has Americanized the telegraph system, having about fifty military telegraph offices. Most of the offices have retained a Spanish-speaking operator. They have reduced the native operators' wages, and $35, Spanish, is the average salary. The American military operators get 75 cents to $1 50 per day extra for subsistence. Railroading is no good here. Should I stay here I would go into some business where there is a stiff garrison of Americans. Havana is a good town, but from what I hear and what we see of tourists, sight-seers and prospectors it will not be long until it is overdone. The fever is showing up in Havana and 12 out of 16 cases have proven fatal. We expect to get out of here by the first of April. The regulars are beginning to come in; the second cavalry is now in the bay. I think I will take in Havana if discharged, then go direct to the west again. Freeman is on detachment down town. He says he got a letter from home and learned your father where the associations are weak, the speculators boldly seek to disrupt the organization; in other places their attacks are more cautious, confined to surreptitious statements about the exchange and misrepresentations of prices received for fruit by outsiders—always in the interest of a few fruit firms which do not find co-operation a valuable adjunct to their business. Growers too soon forget how dumb the scalper; sing when fruit is abundant and the market hard to handle; how industriously they work the commission contract bonanza when the season indicates that sales will be hard and speculation difficult; how carefully they figure up packing house charges and cover into their own coffers all rebates received. It is only within the last few weeks that the speculators have discovered that they could make more by purchasing fruit than by selling on commission. They have learned to play the "sure thing" game and are out on the road with it now. So "dead sure" are the profits for the balance of this season; so limited the supply of fruit to work upon, that the shippers have thrown discrimination to the winds and are trying to secure fruit even at the expense of the life of some of the small associations whom they profess to approve. This is the way the scalpers work some of the weak organizations: They offer an association or a member a tempting price—a few cents more than the exchange is getting at the time. The association or member gets permission from the Exchange to sell, and bites. Well, the speculator knows what he will get for that fruit two weeks later—perhaps a 25 or 50 cent raise, and well he knows that the exchange will be selling the same grade at the same time for better than the above raise. We have before us a case illustrative of the above. An association in Orange county applied to the central board three years ago for permission to sell ten cars of oranges for cash to outside dealers, threatening that should their request be refused they would leave the exchange. They sold the ten cars. When the Orange county passed. Bills which he does not sign during this period fall dead. They are a few important matters before this Legislature, and if the others do the greater portion wind up in Governor Gage's waste-basket probably little or nothing will be lost. But nevertheless, the people will disburse for the privilege of convening this session upward of $250,000. Everybody remembers Ben Franklin's story of the boy who paid too much for his willsthisthe privilege of having a biennial session of the Legislature is a very deep one, but unless we are mistaken these people are paying too much for their whistle.-Call. SAGRAMENTO, March 1.-The number of bills introduced in the Assembly since the beginning of the session reached an even 1000 when the county government bill was introduced by the committee on county and township government this afternoon. The bill was introduced under a suspension—the rules and was ordered printed and returned to the Assembly out of order. The bill contains in the neighborhood 500 amendments to the county government act, nearly all of which were introduced in the form of individual bills and referred to the committee for incorporation in the committee blanket bill. SACRAMENTO, March 1.-Curtin deavored to call up in the Senate this afternoon the joint resolution, laid out the table last week, providing that the Legislature should adjourn on March 4th, but could not get a second to pass the motion. His purpose was to ameliorate the resolution to agree with the one introduced in the Assembly yesterday which fixes the day of adjournment on March 11. It is still the opinion senators that adjournment will not reach until the 18th. HOBSON HONORED Advanced 250 Numbers, Making Captain at Thirty. NEW YORK, March 3.-A dispair from Washington says that the President's nomination of Richard Pearce Railreading is no good here. Should I stay here I would go into some business where there is a stiff garrison of Americans. Havana is a good town, but from what I hear and what we see of tourists, sight-seers and prospectors it will not be long until it is overdone. The fever is showing up in Havana and 12 out of 16 cases have proven fatal. We expect to get out of here by the first of April. The regulars are beginning to come in: the second cavalry is now in the bay. I think I will take in Havana if discharged, then go direct to the west again. Freeman is on detachment down town. He says he got a letter from home and learned your father lived only a couple of miles from his home and knows him. This would make a very pleasant trip for you, but unless you want to engage in some business it is no good in any other line. Bring a few laying hens with you and you can make your expenses. Eggs fried are 50 cents apiece. Americans do not know the price of chickens as they could not afford to invest. We are camped on the bay. The days are awful hot and the nights cool, and fleas are a holy terror. Feed pretty fair on army rations; health fair. Well, I am going down with the lads and take a salt-water swim. Wish you good luck and hope to meet you some time or hear from you when you have time. Yours, P. P. HANLEY. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This remedy is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough and influenza. It has become famous for its cures of these diseases, over a large part of the civilized world. The most flattering testimonials have been received, giving accounts of its works: of the aggravating and persistent cough it has cured; of severe colds that have yielded promptly to its soothing effect, and of the dangerous attacks of group it has cured, often saving the life of the child. The extensive use of it for whooping cough has shown that it robs that disease of all dangerous consequences. Sold by P. A. Derge. Germany's Friendship. New York, February 28.—A special to the Sun from Washington says: Additional proofs of Germany's desire to show the United States that no ill will is borne toward this country by the Berlin Government, and that it is desired to continue friendly and even cordial relations, were given to the State Department today. These evidences of good faith and extreme cordiality were particularly gratifying to the administration, because they came at a time when the air was full of sensational rumors about occurrences that, had they proved true, would have involved the United States and Germany in war. Coming so closely on the heels of the revocation of the regulations of inspection in Germany of American fruit and the sending of two high officials from Berlin to New York to arrange with the life-insurance companies for the modification of the harsh restrictions of such American concerns in Germany, the Washington authorities found another cause for congratulating themselves over the prospect of the maintenance of good feeling with the German Government. The State Department was officially informed that the cruiser Kalserin Augusta, which returned to Manila on Saturday, had been ordered thence to Tien-tsin, China. The reason given for this action of Germany was that German subjects had been assaulted at Tien-tsin. Following this came a formal re- more than the exchange is getting at the time. The association or member gets permission from the Exchange to sell, and bites. Well, the speculator knows what he will get for that fruit two weeks later—perhaps a 25 or 50 cent raise, and well he knows that the exchange will be selling the same grade at the same time for better than the above raise. We have before us a case illustrative of the above. An association in Orange county applied to the central board three years ago for permission to sell ten cars of oranges for cash to outside dealers, threatening that should their request be refused they would leave the exchange. They sold ten cars. When the Orange county growers shipped their next lot through the exchange the fruit came in contact with part of that ten-car shipment, and being of same brand and locality, had to be sold in competition at from 25 to 40 cents below what the exchange was holding for. If anyone will send stamped envelope we will give a transcript of the records of this transaction, which, in common with all statements made in these columns, is duly verified before publication. The association did not stay with the exchange but went out into the cold and is denied participation in the splendid prices the exchange is now getting for its fruit. The lesson of these things is that no exchange, association or individual should listen to any proposition that contemplates the selling of fruit through any other than the regularly constituted channel of the organization. Azusa Pomotropic. I have been afflicted with rheumatism for fourteen years and nothing seemed to give any relief. I was able to be around all the time, but constantly suffering. I had tried everything I could bear of and at last was told to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I did, and was immediately relieved and in a short time cried. I am happy to say that it has not since returned. Josh EDGAR, Germantown, Cal. For sale by P. A. Derge. An Expensive Luxury. According to a report from Sacramento to the Legislature has up to date sent to the Governor for his approval seventy bills. Of these Mr. Gage has approved thirty and vetoed seventeen leaving twenty-three still under consideration. The total number of bills introduced at this session is 1532. This includes the number proposed in both houses, a large percentage of which are duplicates; that is to say, the same bill has been introduced into each House at the same time—a device invented for saving time. Place the duplicates at one-half the grand total of measures introduced—which is a liberal estimate—and we have at least 750 separate propositions submitted for enactment. The printing and reprinting of these bills, together with the daily files, daily journals and daily histories, has already cost the State upwards of $100,-000. The expenses of the Legislature itself will probably amount to $150,000. The pay of the members ceases tomorrow, but the pay of attaches and employees and the cost of running the State printing office continues on until the end. It is a conservative estimate, therefore, to place the total cost of this session of the Legislature at $250,000 and it is extremely probable that sum will be greatly exceeded. For this vast expenditure of money the people have so far got thirty new laws, with a prospect that the Governor will approve ten or twelve of the twenty-three now in hands. Mr. Gage is making an enviable record...

All Orchardists Should Become Members of the Exchange and Stand together for Better Prices. When men join in a purpose of common interest, they who get the most benefit from the effort are the loyal and steadfast. We have in mind, in this connection, those localities which adopted the exchange idea six years ago and did not waver in its execution. Colton, Corona, Pomona, Ontario, Covina, Azusa, Glendora, San Dimas and many of the smaller citrus fruit sections of Los Angeles county and localities in Orange county may be credited with having always kept the fires of the co-operative spirit burning. Riverside has had a large number of exchange advocates, and has never been without a few strong associations. Had many of the orange-growing centers taken the position of selfishness adopted by Redlands, Highlands and Riverside the industry would have been ruined beyond redemption ere this, and what little business remaining unstilled would be in the hands of the commission sharks. It is not very pleasant to contemplate what would be the condition of things at this time had the determined spirits of five years ago thrown up their self-imposed task of redeeming a great industry and restoring values to friends and foes of the exchange alike. But those who have observed matters for the past two or three weeks know that the old insiduous enemies of the exchange are hard at work wherever opportunity offers. In some localities, Thousands are Trying It! In order to prove the great merit of Ely's Cream Balm, the most effective cure for Catarrh and Cold in Head, we have prepared a generous trial size for 10 cents. Get it of your druggist or send 10 cents to ELY BROS., 56 Warren St., N.Y. City. I suffered from catarrh of the worst kind ever since a boy, and I never hoped for cure, but Ely's Cream Balm seems to do even that. Many acquaintances have used it with excellent results.—Oscar Ostrum, 45 Warren Ave., Chicago, Ill. Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for catarrh and contains no cocaine, morury nor any injurious drug. Price, 60 cents. At druggists or by mail. Daily journals and daily histories, has already cost the State upwards of $100,-000. The expenses of the Legislature itself will probably amount to $150,000. The pay of the members ceases tomorrow, but the pay of attaches and employees and the cost of running the State printing office continues on until the end. It is a conservative estimate, therefore, to place the total cost of this session of the Legislature at $250,000, and it is extremely probable that that sum will be greatly exceeded. For this vast expenditure of money the people have so far got thirty new laws, with a prospect that the Governor will approve ten or twelve of the twenty-three now in hands. Mr. Gage is making an enviable record as a vetoer of crude, ungrammatical, ill-considered and impractical legislation. He has already struck down three or four gigantic jobs introduced and enacted by the tax-caters. Among these measures was a bill to establish a Harbor Commission for San Diego and a bill designed to increase the force in the office of the Supreme Court clerk. At this date it is said that the Legislature should have in the Governor's hands from 150 to 200 bills, and it is predicted that even with protracted night sessions, which will continue from this time until adjournment, not more than two or three hundred of the measures now pending can be put through. But it is not clear that the public is going to be benefited even if the work of the Legislature was up to date and the usual number of new laws had been ground out. Governor Gage is sitting down hard upon nearly every measure which comes to him. If he does not object to its grammatical construction he complains that it is full of holes or makes an appropriation of too much money. Even if the Legislature should adjourn with three or four hundred bills in his hands, there is no prospect whatever that he will approve more than twenty-five or thirty of them. The Governor under the constitution has ten days after adjournment in which to consider measures that have paid, brings about $1200. The Road to Defeat. The road to defeat is a curious road. Nobody thinks he walks there... Yet all day long a motley throng Pushes and crowds and stalks there Some are people of brain and worth. Who have weared of Truth's long way; In the breathless race after richese They sought for a short-cut byway. And others have stumbled and missed road And wandered off into Sinning... When they counted the cost she seemed lost. Back into the right beginning. Some lotter through meadows of "enough." Some rush through the gates of Huey. Some seek the delie of "Walt-awhile." And others the field of Flurry. There are many old women and old men. Who think they are wise as sages... And in paths of Defeat tread too, too, Of children of tender ages. They follow the motto of "Do as please." They scorn to be led or guided; And all kinds of work they hate and sigh. And they cannot endure to be chided. Out from the valley of "Pretty-soon" They struggle along at leisure; They tumble and drop from the mountop of selfish and idle pleasure. Oh a very queer road is the road to DeWhere the people are all so knowing. Yet never a soul knows the name of goal-- Now is this the way YOU are going. ELLA WHEELER WILCO Gazette. 9, 1899.

There are new important matters before publication, and if the others or water portion wind up in Gov'tage's waste-basket probably nothing will be lost. But, unless the people will disburse privilege of convening this session of $250,000. Everybody bears Ben Franklin's story of the paid too much for his whistle.

It contains in the neighbor-500 amendments to the county amendment act, nearly all of which introduced in the form of individuals and referred to the committee corporation in the committee's bill.

The Senate is wrestling with a bill THE SECOND EDITION OF THE NEW YORK PRESS, MARCH 1, 1874. BESON HONORED. AND 250 NUMBERS, MAKING Him Captain at Thirty. YORK, March 3.—A dispatch Washington says that the Presidium of Richard Pearson to be advanced ten numbers, no. 1 on the list of assistant naval officers is said by naval officers institute the greatest material progress a recognition of gallantry in history of the naval service. It take Hobson a captain at the age of 16 His advancement amounts to numbers in the line of the navy, is remarkable in comparison to single number secured by Addewey, eight numbers by Adcampson and from three to five other officers during the war pain. When it was proposed to take Hobson to the foot of the sea of lieutenant-commanders, the amounted to about one hundred fifty numbers only, but under nomination made today, Hobson over all the lieutenant-commanders goes nearly to the top of the lander's list, so far as relative is concerned. The seven naval constructors, who once superior to him, three will only retire—Constructor Feaster August, Constructor Barnum in next year, and Chief Constructor Born, who, under the new person, ranks as rear-admiral on 4, 1901. On that date, Constructor Hobson will take the rank and captain. Not until August 17 being will he reach the age of 31. Junior captain of the navy, on January 15 was Capt. Edwin White, coming the flagship Philadelphia, he was 56 years of age when he resigned. Constructor Hobson therefore, gains about twenty-years. In the ordinary course of operations in the naval construction however, Hobson will not reach senior position of chief constructor 1922, or ten years before his retirement, and in the meantime will remain twenty-one years in the captain, which is nearly three long as officers ordinarily reat rank. Another Constructor Hobson will at the promotion given him is easily enough, a matter of doubt to whom he talked before he led for Hongkong. Immediately the sinking of the Merrimae, the cement of ten numbers given him was offered to him, but he hesitated to accept it, exhibiting a strong sense for transfer and promotion line to the foot of lieutenant-anders.

NEW YORK, March 1.—The Homechildren's Orphanage at Los Anls over $2000 richer as a result of the carload of oranges at Erie this morning. The oranges were bred by leading California growers, L. Goodsell was the auctioneer. The fancy prices were paid. CorZuocoa, for Richard Croker, paid for a box, and he also bought anbox for Mayor Van Wyck for $18. Highest price paid for a single box was $47, by Villari, Mitchell & Co. Next highest price paid for a single box was $37 by Porter Bros. & Co. The amount of oranges was packed, ed, advertised, auctioned and free of cost. A carload of the most oranges, picked for general use which all expenses have to be paid, brings about $1200. The Road to Defeat. A road to defeat is a curious road, body thinks he walks there. All day long a motley throng takes and crowds and stalks there. Are people of brain and worth, who have weared of Truth's long highway. The breathless race after riches and peace sought for a short-cut byway. Others have stumbled and missed the road and wandered off into Sinning... They counted the cost the way trekked into the right beginning. He lotter through meadows of "Timeough." One rush through the gates of Hurry-- seek the defile of "Walt-awhile" and others the field of Flurry. There are many old women and many men who think they are wise as sages. In paths of Defeat tread, too, the feet children of tender ages. Follow the motto of "Do as you please." They scorn to be led or guided; all kinds of work they hate and shirk. They cannot endure to be chided. From the valley of "Pretty-soon" they struggle along at leisure; tumble and drop from the mountain peak. Every queer road is the road to Defeat. Where the people are all so knowing— never a soul knows the name of his own. Is this the way YOU are going? ELLA WHEELEER WILCOX. Section 1.
