Trouble In the House.

Recently a lady asked, through the New
York Erning Posi-, II any one could tell her
why It was that 554 persons answered her
husbands advertisement for lady copyist
at seven dollars q week, without board,
when q call for a servant girl at three dol.
lars week, with board, brought but one
reply. The answer Is easy. In the case Of
women copyists the supply is greatly in
excess Of the demand. In the case Of
women domestic servants the demand Is
in excess Of the supply. The advertiser
should have thought herself fortunate to
g,tone reply.
Il, however, we take another view, We
find that 555 girls or women were appli-
cants for the two places, q fair indication Of
alarge number Of unemployed women in
New York. At the same time 1t Is notori.
GUS that household servants are in great
demand, in New York as well as else
where. 'Ifit were merely honest and fairly
remuneratiye work that the unemployed
women want, thousands Of them could
soon be engaged. Everybody knows that
they want something more "genteel;"
though why 1t Is more genseel to copy than
to wait on table or wash dishes nobody
ever WILDE able to explain. For like
rsa,on factory work is preferred by girls TO
more profitable domestic service.
Wheeling housekeepeis complain OF the
scarcity Of "help," aad many who used to
be- housekeepers have sought refuge In
hotels and boarding houses. 1t should be
some consolation 10 these perplexed ma.
trons to know that Wheeling ia not in an
exceptional case, however sad her lot may
b.. The "help" problem is yexing nearly
every hamlet. A New England woman,
whiting to the Pot, attributes the trouble
largely to the schools, which educate girls
above the kitchen, and TO the factories,
which draw them of by the thousands.
She sees no hope Of relief exceptin the en-
: ployment Of men or-in lower tariff that
shall reduce factory wages and drive the fe-
male operatives into domestic service!
Now it Is to be hoped that our Wheeling
housekeepers will not join with those mis-.
guided men who want TO reduce the tariff;
for, however plentiful help might be, what
would abundance Of supply avail If they
were without the ability to pay wages?
The solution Of the "help" problem is
plain, but it is not easy. Women and
girls who have to support themselves ought
10 be glad 10 get good homes and good
wages, but they are not and there is no way
to make them consult their interests Five
hundred and fifty-iour will continue to de.
sire to be copyists, while only one wants
homework.

SIR: In your Issue OF the 18th inst, In
the local columns, l notice the following;
! ga divorce case was tried before Judge st
Clair Kelly, at st. Clairsville the other day
The Judge asked the plaintiff where she
had been married. She replied, AT West
Alexander The Judge in deciding the
{, case remarked that In nine out OF every
ten OF the divorce cases brought into his
court the parties were married at West
Alexander. He said, "pafties who gel
married at West Alexander, instead Of be.
ing divorced, should be fined for being
married at such q place"
The Supreme Court has decided that II O
marriage is valid when II Is celebrated 1t Ia
valid the world over. One might judge
from Judge Kelly's remarks that he con-
sidered a West Alexander marriage In.
valid.
And further, the Judge proposed to fine
any parties who may be guilty OF such
misdemeanor as that OF going 70 such q
place as West Alexander" to have their
happiness legally contaminated.
The .'unkindeat cut OF all' In his Hon
or's remarks in reference TO our ancient
borough was, "parties should be fined for
going 10 such o place to be married" II
would seem from this language that the
Judge has rather an unfayorable opinion
mot knowing Its history, l presume Of
This place. Iwould say to him that West
Alexander occupies very high position,
geographically, and Is proyerpial for the
morality and intelligence OF its inhabitants
40 much 80 as any place OF Its size in the
Union; and j would be recreant to my duty
and my fellow citizens II allowed this
attempted disparagement Of her fair fame
to 70 unnoticed. She will still maintain,
