A HOLIDAY FEA8T.
Lincoln Clothing Company Celebrates
a Good Business Year.
Thursday evening the members of
the Lincoln Clothing Co. firm, together
with the employes, had a little dinner
at the New Windsor, the spread being
given by the firm as, a token of its
appreciation to its employes and in
celebration of a good year of trade.
It was a jolly little crowd that sat
down to the table, and the enjoyment
was just as great as the crowd was
jolly.
The Lincoln Clothing Co. has been
in business a little less than two
years, but has built up a business of
which it may well be proud. Being a
regular and liberal advertiser in The
Wageworker it stands to reason that
its business is cdnstantly growing.
The editor acknowledges an invita
tion to the little "love . feaet," and
blushingly admits that he made a full
hand at the table. -
A MISTAKE CORRECTED.
The Facts About Big Advertisements
in Labor Newspapers.
Last week The Wageworkei-, speak
ing of big advertisements in labor
newspapers, stated that the Miller &
Paine advertisement in' the Christmas
issue was the largest advertisement
ever appearing in a labor paper. The
statement was true only in part. It
was the largest dry goods and notions
advertisement, but not the largest
single one. It has been excelled by
two. A few months ago The Wage-worker-
contained a' two-page adver
tisement ot the Armstrong Clothing
Co., and also a two-page advertise
ment of the Lincoln Gas & Electric
Light Co.
But this is a correct statement: The
Miller & Paine ad., the Armstrong
Clothing Co. ad., and the Lincoln Gas
& Electric Light Co. ad. were the
three largest advertisements ever ap
pearing in a labor paper in this coun
try. And The Wageworker hopes to
see even thi3 great record eclipsed
several times during the coming year.
JERRIES.
New York, Dec. 22. A seat on the
stock exchange was sold today for
$93,000, a new high record price.
For the benefit of the readers of The
Wageworker, who otherwise might not
have known, I will state that the above
investment wasi not made by a work
ing man or trades unionist who had
"saved his wages" for that purpose.
London, Dec. 22. A dispatch to the
Evening Standard from ' Constantino
ple 3ays that the Turkisft consul at
Batoum reports that the Armenians are
massacreing Tartars at the rate of 500
daily.
It has been over nineteen hundred
years since the Christ child was born
in Judea's hills, and the angels of God
proclaimed "Peace on earth, good will
to men." And still men, created in the
image of their Father, deluge the earth
with each other's blood. What a beau
tiful sentiment is ' contained , in Mr.
Maupin'3 Christmas poem, "Ring love
until all wars' shall cease." Mr. Mau
pin should be congratulated, on bring
ing forth a poem worthy to live through
the ages and to be ranked among the
best. Let us indeed do all we can to
hasten the time when brotherhood shall
be established, and to. instill a horroi
of war and bloodshed in the young
and rising generation.
The Atchison Globe pointedly re
marks that "the rich should get out
and mingle with the poor occasionally,
in order that the poor may learn upon
closer inspection that there is no cause
for envying them." , -
Mr. J. D. Rockefeller asserts that In
the next industrial panic, which he
says will come about 1907, over 7,000,
000 of our' people will be without em
ployment, and that the government
will no doubt be required to relieve the
situation by putting them at work on
public improvements, such as build
ing good roads. There are a great
many unemployed with us now, but
tbat they are not alone in their misery
i3 shown by the following dispatch
from England:
London, Dec. 17. London's unem
ployed made a demonstration at St.
Paul's cathedral this afternoon in a
half-hearted, hopeless and unusual
manner. Only a few hundred of them,
with appropriate banners, went in pro
cession from Trafalgar square to the
cathedral,, where they arrived during
the progress of the service and up the
steps' ,of which they marched singing
the "Marseillaise." Here the motley
crowd was joined by contingents from
other quarters, and all, to the number
of some 3,000, began filing into the ca
thedral silently and respectfully, mak
ing an incongruous picture in contrast
with the fashionably dressed worship
ers. Such a scene has. not been witnessed
at St. Paul's since twenty years ago,'
when John Burns, now president of the
local government board, led a similar
demonstration to the cathedral.
Although the preacher made a sym
pathetic reference to the problem of
the unemployed, the men became tired
long before the service ended and most
of them filed out. Some of the leaders
delivered addresses from the steps and
the demonstration was quietly dis
persed. That there are people in this coun
try who are prospering is shown by
the following dispatch: ' .
, New York, Dec. 18. Imports of dia
monds and) other precious stones have
reached the remarkable total of $37,
000,000 dollars at this port for the pres
ent year. Not only has the annual in
crease of from one to one and one-half
million dollars been kept up, but the
banner year of 1904, with $26,092,275
worth of gems, has been beaten by
nearly eleven million dollare.
The "wage workers" vs. the men with
small means" (President Roosevelt in
his message) are not supposed to in
quire who are buying these immense
quantities of jewels, or how they be
came possessed of the money Which
enables them to do it. ' Wageworkers
who wear diamonds are as scarce as
hens' teeth. "Labor produces , all
wealth." Worklngmen, get your think
ing caps on. , '

'That under the competitive system
men. are often reduced - to'' penury
through ' no : fault of their own is
shown by the following hard luck
story: '.-. 'V,v .' -:;.,-
New York, Dec. 22. Henry Kulper
of Galveston, Tex., who claims that he.
was worth $30,000 before the Galveston
flood, which he says wiped out his for
tune, was deported today on the steam
er Colorado. Kulper says that he be
came a naturalized ; American citizen
in 1885 and that he had a hardware
business in Galveston.' After losing his
money he returned to his home in
Antwerp, Belgium; failing to prosper
there, and Wishing to return to the
United States, he hid jon the steamer
St. Andrews, which, arrived here last
week.
He was caught! . and - lacking
