The Working Women Organizing.

Auxiliary to the Knights OF Labor is an or
ganization of working women. 1t is said to be
growing very rapidly. and that, too, after only a
few months existence. It is governed by the
same laws, rights, and authority chat are su-
preme with the knights. Some time ago an as
sembly-the Anna Darling-was organized in
this city with a large membership. Now the
working women of the South Side are ready to
form an assembly for that part of the city as
soon as they can. The only thing in the way is
the general order suspeLding organization of as
semblies for forty days. This time will expire
April 16, when the South side assembly will be
instituted. A preliminary meeting was held in
the rooms of Mrs. Purcell, at No. 214a South
Meridian street, last night.

A STORY WITH TWO SIDES.
Contradiction of the Report About DR.. Moss
Having Swindled o Bloomington Widow.

A Bloomington, Ind, special In Mondays
Journal gave a narrative to the effect that DIR.
Lemuel Moss, formerly president of the Indiana
University, had borrowed So. 900 by inducing,
through his son Charles, o Mrs. Morgan. Of
Bloomington. to mortgage her farm in Pike
county, and that now the Doctor says the money
is lost, and absolutely refuses TO try to reim-
burse her. The account stated that Charles
Moss was engaged TO a foster daughter of Mrs.
Morgans, aud representing that his father would
be ruined without timely financial aid. the loan
was effected through the young lady's sym
pathy forher lover.
Judge d. v. Burns. of this city. in CONVERSE
ton with a Journal reporter yesterday gave a
spondents story.
"As to the original inducement,' said Judge
Burns, shat the Doctor offered Mrs. Morgan TO
sign the note, that I know nothing about. The
note in question was made on the 9th of Sep
tember. 1885, for 5000. payable five years after
date. to the order of L. D. Kinney. The note
was signed by Lemuel Moss. Charles II. Moss
and Mareery K. Morgan. Kinney was formerly
in the patent-cooker business in this city, and
moved from here to Chicago, where he branched
out on a somewhat larger scale. The Moses
bought an interest in the business and gave him
this note for that interest. The note is secured
by a mortgage on Mrs. Morgan's lands in Pike
county. Kinney being acquainted with me in .
professional way, from former legal business
done by me for him, came here to have me ne
gotiate the note for him. Not being able TO ne
gotiate it in time to meet q demand, he bor-
rowed 81, 200 out of Ritzinger's bank, gave his
note and left this note Of the Moses aud
Mrs. Morgan as collateral. and it is
still there. The first installment of interest
came due on the note-the interest being pay
able semi-annually-on the 9th of February.
1886, and DIR. Moss sent me, punctually, to the
day, $l75 to pay that interest, and he is not in
default at all upon the note. / suppose the
woman has written to him to pay off the note,
and. not understanding DR.. Moss's answer to
this demand, has become frightened. The note.
given for five years. was never negotiated. but
given by the Moses and herself direct to Kinney.
She is just an accommodation maker. The note
is not due for more than four years yet, and it
is wrong to accuse DR.. Moss of being in default.
There is such a feeling at Bloomington against
DR.. Moss that he is likely to be accused of any
thing there"

two or three hours are usually spent thus In con-
sideration of civil affairs. AT noon he receives
military officers, and the hourfrom 1 to is given
to any casual visitors who may DO
introduced. After a light lunch an
hours drive is taken, and then Count
Herbert Bismarck, the Under Secretary Of
State. has an audience. At 4 o'clock the Emu
peror and Empress dine together. with no more
m than is observed at any family tabla
in high society, and then the veteran monarch
goes to his library for a period-not of after
dinner doing. but of hard work at his desk.
In another hour or so the court physicians call
again, and then the Emperor gives the early
evening to his family and friends in familiar
social intercourse. At 8 he almost invariably
goes to the theater or opera. but seldom stays
until the end of the play. preferring to return
home in time for the family gathering about thu
tea-table at 10 o'clock. An hour later still ho
retires to sleep, and his head-albeit it wears q
crown-rests soundly upon an easy pillow until
half-past Z the next morning marks the begin
ming OF a repetition of the same routine. This
is his round of daily life, which is varied at only
rare intervals on the occasion of great coure
festivities or the presence OF illustrious guests.

WILLIAM.
The Daily Routine of Germany's Ninety
Year-OId Ruler.

The Daily Routine of Germany's Ninety
Year-Old Ruler.
New York Tribune.
The spectacle of a great monarch reaching his
ninetieth year, still s'every inch a king and
vigorously swaying all the personal power of q
modern constitutional ruler, is so rare that even
the veriest king hater OF Socialism has a curl
osity to peep through the hedging divinity and
see how the daily round Of royal life is run. In
the case of Kaiser Wilhelm, who to-day com.
pletes his eighty ninth and begins his ninetieth
year, the round is q busy one. 1t comprises the
same routine that was adopted by him years
ago. when from being King Of Prussia he rose to
be Emperor of Germany. At half past z in
the morning, summer and winter alike, he
rises. His toilet for the day is made at
once, dressing gown und slippers finding no
place in the simperial wardrobe. Breakfast
consists usually of coffee and toast, and
while it is being disposed of two Imperial medi-
cal advisers. Drs. Lenthold and Won Lauer, call
and carefully notice the Emperor's state of
health. After breakfast he opens and reads bis
letters and clippings from the various newspa.s.
pers which have been selected by his secretaries
and pasted on large sheets Of paper. These du
ties occupy bis attention until o o'clock. when he
begins TO receive visitors. These are mostly on
Gers who report to him on business matters, and

600 bushels. Further comparisons also show
that for the two weeks ending to-day the receipts
at Chicago were 2. 702, 900 bushels, against 2, las,
900 bushels received at St Louis. Peoria, To-
ledo, Milwaukee. Kansas City and Detroit. The
facts are that the unsatisfactory prices keep
corn back, country shippers being disposed to
sell for May delivery, as there is a good premium
over cash, and the only charge for carrying in
country cribs is the interest on the money. Then,
again, it is not unusual for shippers to hold back
their grain as the time for opening navigation
on the lakes draws near, and the fact that this
is likely to occur two or the weeks earlier this
year has encouraged shippers 80 to do,
they being confident that the rates by
rail will be reduced with the opening Of naviga-
ton. Then, again, Indianapolis roads feel the
effect of the strike in the Southwest more or
less. Especially do the Vandalia and /. g. St.
L. feel it in the decrease in their livestock traffic.
