physicisns. The system of ethics perfected by Mrs Mathilda Fletcher, which have been adopted in all the public schools of Minneso-
 ta and elsewhere. .should be introduced in the
 schools in this city. ~i- Miss Helen Potter testified in regard to the sanitary condition of the poorer dis.
 tricts of the city. The great evil the ten.
 ement house districts was the lack of suf-
 ficient water supply. In many places the
 water never rached higher than the second
 story of the houses. and in many cases it
 was utterly impossible for the inhabitants of the houses to obtain enough water to keep their bodies clean, and such thing ss washing the floors and streets was never thought of
 Miss Emily Terrier, the president of thu
 Working Womens Protective association, was the next witness. She testified that the association was organized about twenty years ago, especially for the beneAt of sewing women, Its object was to protect them from interruptions employers and assist them to get work. It was supported entirely by prl- Yate subscriptions.
 The best seamstress could make seven or eight dollars g week, but the average one never succeeded in getti ng more than three or four dollars week. Many work from twelve to sixteen hours day making shirts for which they are paid twenty five cents dozen In some cases woman may work all day and night, and if she begins in her work half an hour late she will be paid nothing The as- sociation investigated such cases as these and seldom failed to redress wrong.
 Jeremiah Murphy. one of the principal leaders in the freight handlers strike last year, testified that he had been employed as 8 freight handler of railroads for ten years After the strike he was told by railroad director that he need not expect any more york on railroads in the United States The freight handlers work was very laborious, and yet they only received on an average $40 8 month. The fact that there were over 16,- 900 evictions in this city last year showed the condition of the working classes.

The stratford Mystery.

The Detectives sttlI Working Hard l The COrOner's Jury Again To-day. l The situation regarding the mystery sur-
 rounding the death of Rose Clark Ambler
 remained unchanged to-day. There have
 shed any new light toward bringing the mur-
 derer to justice. If the detectives working l upon the case have obtained anything of in-
 portance they are keeping it to themselves
 That they are in possession of any informa-
 tion that will clear the mystery surrounding the sad fate of Rose Clark Amber. or bring
 the murderer to justice seems very improba-
 ble William Lewis, the lover of the girl, | who is still strongly suspected of the crime, made his usual accustomed trip with his load of vegetables to Birmingham. He was back
 early and went to Bridgeport with anoth- CT load which found ready 1 market. He has been advised 'sto keep his mouth closed'' This excellent advice it is l said, was given him by friend who told him plainly that when he was under the influence l of liquor he was too communicative for his l own good. It is believed by many residents l in Stratford that when the coroner's jury of l inquest again assemble to-day at 9 o'clock, startling developments will be disclosed and | rest. There are 8 large number of witnesses 1 to be heard, and yesterday Constable Me- Even was busy all dsy serving subpoen9s. Lewis, it appears, will be summoned to ap- | pear before the jury once more. Deputy Ooro- ner Joyce found . shred of cloth on the stone l wall above yard from where the body lay on the morning after the murder. The shred was unlike fragment of any garment Rose Ambler wore. It was evidently bit from the clothing of some person who had to do with placing the body where it was found. Under Prof. Whites microscope this shred was proved to be cotton fiber of 8 singularly
 course texture, unlike any that would natural ly be found in a woman's garment. All ef- 1 forts to trace out this fiber and to connect it with any article of of apparel worn by .any- one has proved futile. To day it has been learned that Prof. White has both the fiber and William Lewis torn white cotton shirt from which one sleeve is also missing.

The Search for Lieutenant GreeIeyin in the
 Polar RAaiOmR

The Search for Lieutenant Greeley in the Polar Regions.
 NEW YORK. Sept. 19.-Secretaries Lincoln and Chandler this afternoon furnish the press with statement explaining why they have decided not to send another expedition to the relief of Lieutenant Greeley this year. Consultations with 8 number of Arctic ex- plorers lead to the conviction that little can be accomplished after October 2Oth, when there are few hours of daylight in that region Is is doubtful if any vessel could reach Up- per Navick before that date on account of ice, the rapidly shortening days and increas- ing cold. The danger of wreckiBg new re- lief party in it's attempt to reach Upper Ma wick is considered far greater than should be in cured for the chance of rendering any aid to Greeley, and from Upper Navick no aid could be given except by sledging, which is regarded as totally impossible. Lieutenant Greeley's case is considered by no means hopeless. He has had the advantage of day light in which to move if he left his station, as ordered, September 1st. Plans will at once be prepared to pnt on foot next year an expedition which shall meet all the wishes of the most anxious friends of the party.
