The Trend of Trade Unionism. «■" ' • ' ■■ "Engineering" has something to iaf as to the modern tendency of trad* unionism. If } gays our contemporary, we turn back to thirty years ago, ther« were more unreasonable strike than there are now, and they were mom violently conducted. Take one industry alone—the iron and steel trades. All through tat present period of prosperity there hai been peace: then, it was not ao. In the coal industry also there has been comparative peace; whereas then, fchtra • were many labour struggles of a more or less disastrous character. It is th« sarae m the cotton industry, and manf others. The general tendency of th# better class of unions is to foster ret* train t by discipline; a tad nothing tend! so much m that direction as provident benefits. In one direction the unions Bre, of their own initiative, doing a good work — namely, m creating reserve funds for superannuation m old age. Thi best of the labour leaders have advoc ated this for forty years. An Adelaide Romance, - —„.,.#.- -...■■,. In a suburb of Adelaide, according to the South Australian Register, there lives a young lady who is the central figure of a most romantic story, The young lady's grandmother wai a titled Russian lady, who married one Baron de Rose, a French nobleman. Her parents disapproved of the match, and disinherited her. A son was born, and when the child was four yean old the Baron deserted his wife, and hai not since been heard of. When the i boy bfcame a man he married » Rus« sian lady, and the heroine of this ro mance was the issue of the marriage, Ber father was never recognised by the Barons family, but a will wat drawn m favour of the daughter, be queathing her enormous wealth on con dition that she married Count R——, a Russian; When the lady waa a baby m arms her father emigrated to Ade ! laide, and earned hie living up to the i time of his death, two years ago, as a tsilor, Another condition which had jto be fulfilled under the will was that the lady should support herself until marriage. Count B has been ia Adelaide twice to press his testamen tory suit, but has each time been re jected—on the first occasion became the lady refused to leave, her mother, and on the next because he had already contracted a morganatic marriage. That, at any rate, was the reason^ given by the lady to & reporter of tbe • Register.' The young lady support! herself and her widowed mother by working as a tailorees, and has stcri* Seed wealth to moral principle. I Female Jack tbe Sipper ia i Paila. The police inquiry into the nmidor of the mutilated victim discovered In the Rue dcs Platieres, m Paris, has not id far resulted eithet m the Identification of ; the poor, man, or In any'indication capable lof getting at the culprit) or culprits. Bnto ibhas brought about the startling die closure that some sixty young men varying m age from eighteen to about twenty, an missing," and an alarm is felt lest they may have shared the same fate as the unhappy . fellow who barbarously butchered remains He at the Morgue. In 1 fact, there is enough to find on id a Sacher Masooh theory. In the novels I and short stories of that: Hungarian writer the types of women are cruel. They delight In the most shocking criminality and brutality towards men. Accepting the notion of some desperate and cunning female Jack the Ripper m Paris a la Sscher Masoch, the murder of the victim a^eady discovered, together with the mysterious disappearance of some sixty other young men, might be satisfactorily accounted for. At any rate, Che Btate of things m the French capital seems serious and tbe Rae de Jerusalem, which cor* responds to tba Scotland Yard of London, has Its work cut out.
