ST. Louis, June 14-For some time past
number of prominent Knights of Labor have
been industriously at work among the servant
girls of this city, with very satisfactory results
to the order. A local assembly has been organ
lied and they will be admitted to the Knights of
Labor as part of national district assembly, to
be composed entirely of servant girls. The
sembly already numbers in the nelghborhood of
$50 members, and is increasing at every meet
ing. The place of meeting is kept a secret for
the present the principal reason being the de-
sire of the girls to withhold their names from
the public for fear that if they were known to be
members of the Knights of Labor, they might
lose their situations. There will be admitted to
the assembly hotel waiteresses and the COM
bined strength of these and the servant girls
will, they are confident, bring their employers
and mistresses to terms.

merely happy thought. He conceived the idea
that men who rent offices, such as lawyers,
brokers. dentists, agents and the like. must be
put to great deal of trouble to get clean towels
and to keep them clean after they get them
He decided to go into the business of supplying
these conveniences.
He had some little boxes made to hang upon
a door or wall by means of two hooks On the
front of each box he had plate of looking
gle So, and the top was made like a lid. He
hung brush and comb to each box, put four
clean towels in each one, and then started out
to get customers, promising four clean towels
week, and to keep each customer supplied
with toilet soap for 81 a month, or
six towels week for $125, and
eight for two dollars The idea took like wild
fire. A company was formed, and it now serves
not only half the Offices In town. but great
many stores, factories, and in fact places of all
sorts where men and women are employed and
cleanliness is respected. The dirty towels are
taken away and clean ones substituted each
week. The boxes are never removed until they
are broken or grow shabby. The cost is very
slight, the tax to customers is a mere triAe and
the profit is enormous
