PROTECT THE GIRLS.
A Vigilance Committee Take the
Matter In Hand.

B0sT0N, MASS. April 14.--At
q public meeting held here last
evening, spirited discussion took
place, in which great interest was
manifested. Resolutions were
adopted and a vigilance committee
of twelve appointed to see to 1t
that its provisions are carried out;
whereas the working girls of Bos-
ton suffer great annoyance from
actions Of men who presume on
their gray hair and make sympa-
thy for the working girls pretext
for most unjustihable liberties.
Therefore be IL Resolved that we
appoint a vigilance committo for
the protection of the working
girls from indignities to which
they are constantly subjected. Be
1t resolved that the employees and
those interested In their welfare
be requested to assist the commit
tees i'm their efforts to suppress the
prevalent vice referred to.

The people of the Shenandoah
Valley being somewhat vexed be-
cause the Virginia Legislature has
refused to charter an extension of
the Valley Railroad at Salem, the
Huntington Advertiser advises
them to unite themselves with
West Virginia, whose legislature
will grant all the charters they
want. The Advertiser proposes to
take In twenty counties, embracing
Southwest Virginia and the VAL
ley to the Blue Ridge. 1t may
not have occurred to our contem-
porary, but the Virginia Legisla.
ture would have to be consulted;
and that body might be as unwil-
ling to surrender all this territory
as it is to grant the Shenandoah

POWERFUL OPPOSITION In
NEW YORK. t aasg
The Cabinei and Congress To
be Appealed to. VOL Ia

NEW YORK, April 16. A meet
ing of merchants and bankers WAS
held at the residence of Cyrus w
Field last night for the purpose OF
taking some action to prevent the
currency bill becoming law.
Peter Cooper occupied the chair,
and some seventy-five gentlemen
were present. including w. F..
Dodge. Moses Taylor, rnd August
Belmont, of this city, and many
well known merchants from the
interior OF the State. Many
resolutions We're offered in denun-
citation OF the Senate finance bill,
and it was resolved that a meeting
be held in the Chamber Of
Commerce to day to take what
further action may be deemed
desirable. 1t was also resolved
that committee representing the
merchants of New York proceed
to Washington and meet at the
Arlington Hotel at nine o'clock
on Friday morning. They take
with them memorial signed by
three thousand merchants and
brokers praying the President to
veto the bill. There will be a
meeting of the Cabinet on Friday,
and the committee will visit the
President prior to that meeting.
The petition asking the
President to veto the bill initiating
the currency, and signed by
$500 business men OF New
York, has just been forwarded to
Washington. The Times Wash
ington special says there is good
reason for expecting the Presiden
tial veto of the currency bill.

long discussion yesterday on the
subject of changing the constitu-

mended by the Government that

and that members BIZ elected eth

The master mechanics of New
York have published their ulti-
matum. On and after Mondsy,
May A, they employ no men who
are unwilling to work ten hours a
day. Decentralization thus forced
upon the bosses Is thought to be
complete. 1t includes all the trades
most affected by strikers and the
eight-hour system such as car
penters, painters, iron plumbers
and gas filters. These men can
afford to keep idle rather than ex-
ecute contracts on the losing eight
hour plan, and they have solemn
~ pledged themselves to stand to-
gether. If they do so, they will
break tyranny, release workmen
from thraldom, and benefit their
future employees even more than
themselves. There may be strike
in one or two of the trades, but
nobody expects it to be successful.
Like all the other strikes OF late
days it will doubtless end In fail
ure. - Neto York Journal of Com

Two accidents are recorded yes
terday Of little girls who died from
excessive play In the pastime now
coming into fashion on our streets,
of skipping the rope. One girl
jumped three hundred times; went
to bed tired out, and was taken
with congestion Of the brain. The
other died even more suddenly.
We noticed another accident of
this kind some time ago. The
gIri had jumped one hundred and
fifty-two times, if we are not mis-
taken, without stopping, and then
stopped forever. We are constant
ly seeing the record of such cases
in our exchanges We hope no
frightened mother will put an abb
solute embargo on the skipping
rope because it is so misused. We
would be sorry to spoil any child's
sport by calling attention to the
above facts. Let the children en-
joy themselves; but, as you would
take care that they did not kill
themselves by over-eating, take
care they do not kill themselves
by over exertion.-B Baltimore Ga

DIsEMBAR RATION OF THE RE-

Hot alum water is q recent sug-
gestion as an insecticide 1t will

coekroaches, spiders, chintz bugs,
and all the crawling pests which
iufest our houses. Take two
pounds of alum and dissolve in
three or four warts of boiling wa

the alum disappears; then apply
it with brush, while nearly boil
ing hot, to every joint and crew.
ice in your closets, bedsteads pan
try shelves, and the like. Brush
the crevices in the floor of the
skirting or mop boards, if you
suspect they harbor vermin. If,
in withdrawing a ceiling plenty
of alum is added to the lime, it
will also serve to keep insects at
a distance. Cockroaches will flee
the paint which had been washed
in cool alum water. Sugar bar
rels and boxes can be freed from
ants by drawing wide chalk
mark just around the edge Of the
top OF them. The mark must be
unbroken, or they will creep over
it, but a continuous chalk line
half an inch in widtr. will set their
depredations at naught. Powder
ed alum or borax will keep the
chintz bug at a respectable dis
lance, and travellers should al
ways carry a package oft in their
hand bags to scatter over and ,un-
der their pillows, in places whe re
they have reason to suspect the
presence OF such bedfellows.

NEW York, April 1.-THE
steamer Greece, of the National

Of the French steamer Europe, on
the I'd of April, arrived at this
port last night. After passing
quarantine the Greece anchored In
the North river about midway be

and French lines. The passengers
were discharged from the steamer
about fialf-past eight O'Clock, and
Immediately left for their destina-
tons. 1t is impossible to obtain

None seemed To know anything.
except that the steamer sprung
q leak, and that when the vessel
was abandoned there were eight
feet Of water In the hold. The
statements OF the officers Of the
Greece were very clear. Surgeon
Page stated that on Thursday,
April I'd, they sighted ship, and
coming abreast OF her found she
was q steamer. While the officers
were at dinner, ut 4 p. M, the
captain was called out, and the as
sistant surgeon said something
was the matter with the French
steamer. He saw
THE SIGNAL OF SINKING
flying at the masthead. On COM
ing along side of her they saw the
captain making gestures. The
chief officer Of the Greece
got out the boats, and the
passengers of the French steamer
were transferred.
There were In all three hundred
and nineteen persons. The French
vessel was then abandoned. After
awhile Surgeon Page went on
deck and saw Captain Lemarie, OF
the Europe, who said his vessel
was sinking.
The officers Of the Greece did
all they could to make the rescued
passengers comfortable. The next
morning the chief officer, and en-
gineer Of the Greece boarded the
Europe at the French captains
request, and they soon returned,
but Surgeon Page did not know
what report was made. At 1915
a. In. they returned to the French
steamer. and before going the
chief engineer bid goodbye TO
Page, saying, ssit's risky, but am
going" The salvage crew num-
bered twenty-five, including the
assistant. The Greece
lay to for several hours and we
saw them make sail, and while at
to get to the eastward,
the Europe cOi,ided wit the stern
of the Greece. Surgeon Page says
the French Crew acted very cow

return to the sinking vessel. The
