Scarcily in Denver of Female Help
Generally Felt ,
Xho Impmtntion ot Girls From the
Knstcrn States ilnpltlly
Increasing.
Denver New * , Sojitembcr It ) .
Tlioro la nt present n grout scarcity o
foinnlo domestic help in Uouvor. In tlio
worda of n IftJy running ono of the load
ing intelligence ) cilices uf the city , "noth
ing like it Ims ovor'boon aeon in Denver.
1 have now orders for twonty-aovon jjirls
more than 1 can fusnlah , niul I will bo
compelled to bring out over ono hundred
girls from the cast. "
"Whoro do you got thorn in the
ensU"
"Thcso I will bring from Detroit.
Tlioro is nn nbundnnoo of female help
everywhere oast. "
"Whoro have the girls gone ? "
"All over the west and auuth. I Imvo
eont out 17'J ' girls during the past month
Lo the mountains , to Now Mexico ; and
even to Tcxns. "
It must bo expected that dull times
would cause mi increase- the supply of
domestic help , but no such ofloct Is ap
parent. The trouble socms to bo that
iho supply of help has boon reduced by
false reports published in n Denver paper
to the otloct that girls were working for
starvation wages. The report was purely
sensational. The supply of female help
for domestic service 1ms never boon as
near equaling the demand in Denver w
In the cast as is shown by the prices paid
hero and there. In Denver n girl will
receive § 20 per month for the worl :
which she would Imvo to do for § 3 n week
in the oast. Domestic help in the east
rarely receives as high as § I per week ,
while more frequently $2 a week is con
sidered fair wages.
The reports , however , have had the ef
fect of cutting down the supply of hired
ls until it moot require a bonus to so
sure the services of ono of thorn. Wugoa
liavo not advanced porcoptinly , however ,
but there liaa boon no such decline as in
other occupations. The mischovious
story grow evidently out of confounding
sowing girls with domestic help. The
sowing girls are plenty enough every whore
and are almost always in excess of the
demand. They are in many respects , as
a rule inferior to the domestic help ea
Socially in the matter of strength and
ire unable to outer the more lucrative
lold of domestic labor.
The importation of girls from the east
going to bo quite a common thing
among tno intelligent ofllces. Girls fresh
; rotn the east are preferred almost uni-
'ormly to barnacle girla , who only too
often make up for a lack of willingness
, o work by n cheerful familiarity with the
130 of firearms , which makes them more
'oared if not more respected than more
orderly servants.
Besides the difference in the pay , hired
; irls in Denver are accorded moro privi-
egos than in the east. A well trained
; irl , ono who came out in " 59 or shortly
after , will allow her mistress a half holi
day occasionally , and will probably stay
at homo during the half day unless she
tas a proas of business. In hiring out
she usually dcclinen to npecify the nnm-
> or of holidays she will require for her-
elf , but is anxious about the habits of
lor mistress.
It is a very common thing to BOO the
note in want advertisements "recently
rom the Fast. " It does not always hap
> on that the statement is truthful , but it
s an evidence of the unpopularity of the
oo too b.iniaclo girl. Moat of these drift
off to the freer Hfo of the mountains , but
usually return to Denver for the v inter.
Excitement.

The doings of two monarcha are brought
nto startling cortraat just at present ,
'ho emperor of Russia ia visiting at dif-
orent points in his realm , and his ap-
iroach brings as much terror to the un-
ortunate inhabitants as would the coni

I liavo no doairo to solzo on this occn-

and the party I was withjhad the pleasure
of seeing his majesty make them a very
low bow and ft isn't every day a king
takes off hla hat to you.
Mr. Whitney and family , of IJryn
Mawr , Pa. , wore Booing Homo under the
guidance of their guide , philosopher and
friend , Ilov. Mr. Van Motor , who for
many years had been eu abliahlng free
schools in Italy and doing good generally.
Thia reverend gentleman had presented a
very fmo American copy of the bible to
King Humbert , and had also given a
nickol-platod plow , made in lllinoin , to
Prince Torlonia , under the hope that it
would do uumothing to improve the agri
cultural methods of Italy. The prince ,
besides being the richest man
in Italy and the moat devout

which is diagonally opposite the IJarborl

the coachman pointed up the hill tlia
p lists the Barborinn palace- and said
"Dj King , ho come. " Then ho made
Iho game remark in Italian , which wn
better understood than his English ,
Down the steep cobblo-stono hill came
four coal black horses , They were the
most fiery animals I over SAW , and mosl
of the time n couple of them were 01
their hind feet , pawing the air with their
front legs. The vehicle was n waijon with
high scats and of very strong workman
ship , but highly finished and polished.
The king was the driver , and ho sat on a
seat that was slightly nbovo thnso occu
pied by his three companions. 11 la stur
dy legs were firmly braced nrimst the
bottom of Iho strong dashboard , mid ho
held these four wild horaos with luj loft
hand , while with hla right ho frequently
raised his hat to his cheering subjects
Any niau who could manage with such'
o.i80 , by ono hand , four such horaos ,
that were evidently mad for a runaway ,
liad no little noryo nnl nuncio.
The kiiijj was dressed in a dark suit th.it
dilVorod in no particular froihtho costume-
of any other well dressed gentleman.
The hat ho raised waa an ordinary ? 2.iiO

seemed to mo a man who would stand no

adica enthusiastically waved their hand

our democratic hats. Tlio king scorned
to ; knovr that wo were Americana ; his
dark face lit up with a smile that went
.ir to counteract the brigandiah effect of
ho great mustache , and ho took off his hat
and made a bow to our parly , all the
while keeping a tight rein on his oner-
; etic horses. The three mon who sat in
ho wagon with him were each a lower-
ng scowl and each had his arms folded
tightly over his breast. They were
Iressod in a most gorgeous and resplend

'opublicans as wo woro. The two In the

ow York Tribune :
The price of beef has boon about ono
ent a pound higher this year than last ,
otwithstanding the introduction of Chi-
ago dressed beef , which has boon Bold
lore in largo quantities. People auk
vhy , in the face uf all competition bo-
, woun western beef and beef slaughtered
icro , the price should bo so high. There
i continual war between the dealers of
itlerent kinds of meat , and all assign
Ifi'erent reasons for the range of prices.
A Tribune reporter made inquiries of a
nan who has boon intimately associated
nth the Hvo-caUlo trade at this marketer
or a number of years , and who is an au-
liority on the subject. Hu said :
"It certainly Booms strange that beef
hould bo high this year. Veal , lamb
ud mutton are cheaper than they have
> cen for some timo. Business is dull ;
rep prospects were never hotter ; bread-
tull'a are lower in price than for several
'earn ; and it uooins that beef should bo
ow too. It is hard to give an entirely
mtisfactory reason for the high prices.
'hero can bo no doubt that the cool sumner -
nor has much to do with It , for it keeps
looplo in town. Leas fruit is eaten than
n a hot , dry soaaon , and moro beef in
iroportion. But the price of cattle in
ho west may bo said to regulate the
irico of beef hero , Chicago , Kansas
Jity and St. Lou in virtually control the
narket. Freight rates are low , shippers
ro making little or nothing , and whole-
ale and retail butchers have made no
lotioy to npoak of for the last two years.
'no farmoM got all the benefit 01 the
prices.1
you look for lower prices ? "
' Not until the supply is inproased or
ho demand loesoncd. "
"Tho iinprojaion prevails that western
rcsac.d beef would lower prices. "
"The fact is that the western dressed
jeef uhippcrs of Chicago have bucn the
means of putting up prices , How ia that ?
You nee there are three competing inter-
osta in Chlci o the eastern shipper ,
the exporter , und the dressed beef ship
per to say nothing of the oannor , who ,
however , uses moatly a class of goods not
shipped to eastern markets , Of couruo
two of those inturejtB urn sometimes iden
tical. Some of the oaHlvrn shippers of
live cattle and Rome of the dressed beef
shippers aru also oxpurtom , but the west
ern dressed beef men take good care that
the eastern ihippord shall pay good prices
for their cattle. In I hid way the price of
beef io kept high hero. Western droaaod
beef shippers have mudo nothing in this )
ci y. Their priceo have been about the '
same as these for city-dressed boefpea -
sibly a fraction lower - but they follow
the price of city dresied riijht up when it
rises. The price of refrigerated beef in
all the towns between hero and Albany is
10 and 11 cents ,
"My friend 'Tommy Loughran of
Washington Market has boon spjndlng
his vacation in Maine , and ho took pains
when riding around the country to atop
all the butchor-wagona and interview the
drivers on the price of beef , The uni
form rule ho found to lin , for light bopf ,
11 cents for such as has been sollini : in
this city for ( and Scents. .
"I have no opposition to western
drcaaod beef , nor do I take any stock in
the poison theory , but I don't think Now
Yorkers will over like it as well IH they
do beef that id slaughtered hero. I don't
think it H inakini' much headway in
Now York , for I understand that E ox
Market ia to lot , and I am told that
Swift's refrigerator in Kingaton has become -
como clo od for aovoral wooka. 1 don't
think these extreme prices will continue
long. There is an old Western saying
When anakos go blind the price of beef
oosiip. ' Well , anakea go blind , I bo-
iiovo , when they shod their skins in
August , and aa that operation ia now beIng -
Ing performed wo may look for lower
jirlcoa when it la over.
"Import tr.vlo ia dull and shippers are
loaing money every day. Laat year at
Lhia time Now York was Bonding out 4-
300 cattle a jwook , against 1,500 now.
IDxportors can make no money while
prices are high , and , indeed , they have
boon losing since Jan. I. "
G. E. Swift , too head of Swift's Chicago -
cage drosscd-boof business , waa asked
in regard to the effect of his moat on
prices.
"Well , " said ho , "if our boot wan not
jolng sold here pricoa would bo at loaat a
cent higher all round than tnoy aro. The
pricoa of cattle In the west regulates us
icro. There is at present considerable
lomand for live cattle in this city , and
f wo were not here with our droasod boot
.hat demand would bo increased of course.
This demand is supplied chlotly by Chi-
: ago , and whether the beef is slaughtered
lore or there it remains the same. But
dressed beef can bo shipped much cheap
er than live cattle , and there wo liavo an
advantage. But speaking of prices , they
are not high in proportion to the supply
of cattle. The short horn crop of last
rear has made bcovon unusually scarce ,
md as the demand is brisk the prices are
lecosaarily forced up. There's certainly
no problem about it. Supply and demand
; ovorn prices always. "
"What about your beef being pol-
sonod ? "
"Simply a good advertisement. The
statement has done moro for us than any-
.hing . ) elsecould liavo dono. It
ironiptod an investigation Into our
nothoda , and that ia just what wo invite
it all times. Wo came out with clean
lands and business booming. Our
laughter-houses at Chicago are accessible
it all times , and the public is free to gen
n at will. Wo never require paasoa. "
"How is your beef received ? "
"So well that aomo butchcra buy It and
sell it for homo slaughtered , and cuatom-
> rs can't toll the dilluronco. Tlio boat
totels in the city use it with entire sat-
afaction and the demand is steadily in
creasing. "
"It is oaid that your beef is dry. "
"What do you moan by dry1' ?
"No blood in it. It won't make gravy ? '
"As far aa blood is concerned , you are
ight. Wo follow Biblical teaching in
.hat respect , and got rid of every drop
) f blood wo can. Wo don't want blood
n our boef. But I don't understand
low that makes it dry. I'll toll you a
fact that is not generally known. The
animal heat in a carcass of beef is duo to
.ho preaonco of certain elements that
weigh something , and beef that is not
refrigerated does not lose it , but by our
system of freezing forty-night hours wo
hid wo decrease the weight about two
) or cent , and during the transit from
Chicago to this city 1 per cent more ,
nakinir our boof. ! per cent lighter than
t was before going into the coolers. Thia
comes from those elements being driven
out. So yon may say that people got
moro meat for their money in buying of
is than of homo slaughterers. And it is
mrdly necessary to add that beef will
coop pure much longer when the animal
loat is all driven out. Our beef , when
t roaches Now York hao been live days
tilled , and yet the hottest weather can-
lot spoil it in forty-eight hours. In our
shipments to London wo once had a VOB-
ol delayed lor forty-three days , but the
> oof brought the usual price when sold
lot being Injured in the least.
"I think it lit likely that the price of
