The Girl of the Period.

Gail Hamilton in New York World:
She has been duly and amply fore
warned. She has read about herself
till it might well seem that whatever
solid virtue she should attempt unto,
all sweet spontaneity would be utter
ly impossible. Not a quarterly re-
viewer, not monthly magazinist,n mot
a weekly religious and family newspa-
per, scarcely a daily morning reporter,
but had tried his hand at her educa-
ton, her development, her weakness,
her costuming. From a thousand
sources she knew the risk she ran in low
ing fine clothes and yachting, and crink-
ling hair and the Episcopal church.
But she went gayly on crinkling her
hair and reading her prayers. She
knew-for she had perused it
hundred times SHAT she ought
to stay at home and knead bread
and sweep the house and make it
pleasant for her brothers; instead of
which she went to school herself,
studied Greek and the higher mathe-
matics and graduated just like boy.
Even that did her no good. She had
learned her anatomy perfectly we'll
just how many bones she had, where
they were single and where they were
double; where they were jointed with
a ball and socket and where they
were jointed with a hinge; what they
were expected to do and what would
be the terrible consequences if they
were compressed. Yet she laced them
in just as vigorously. and relentlessly
as had her grandmother before her
who had never a bone on her con-
science, and lied about it just as inno-
Gently, reiteratedly and unconvincing-
ly. Nay, with all the abtruse meta
physics and mathematics and all the
concrete science and languages which
she had, as it were, taken aboard, and
danced along her butterfly life, loving
her dance and her butterfydom no
less for her dainty dalliance with
science, for which, in truth, she never
possessed a grand passion, and only
wished she could be more of a butter
fly than fate had permitted. So need
less is all anxiety lest by any tortuous
process whatever a sow's ear can
evolve itself out of silk purse!
And then, of course, to point the
moral, she made a foolish marriage.
Reared not only with refined tastes
which is desirable-but with expen-
sive tastes-which is unlucky-she
must needs fall in love with young
man similarly reared, who had cor
respondingly fallen in love with her
banged and blooming face, with her
light feet, her ready laugh, her merry
volce-a young man who had no for
tune to maintain her in the fowery
paths she loved, who had nothing to
help himself with but his fresh young
manhood, unassoiled. trained by a
good education, good blood in his
veins, good principles in his will, good
habits behind him and stout heart
for what should lie before. While the
novelty lasted the glamour lasted and
the heavens smiled, but when the
stress OF life began; when new little
soul looked helpless and unknowing
into their own she knew, both knew,
that the reign OF the butterfly was
over. The young man must fare forth
for bread the wide world over. Then
arose the young woman-a girl no
longer, but youthful mother OF the
period, with her child in her arms
and Jared forth by his side.

Some correspondence on the subject

a letter from Commissioner Sparks, OF

THE PRISON CONGRESS
Discusses Prison LabOr-The Lease
System Talked or.

ATLANTA, GA, November 1.-THE
Prison Reform Congress this morning
visited the camp of the Chattahoochie
Brick Company, seven miles from
Atlanta, where 400 convicts Leased
from the Georgia penitenliary are en-
ployed. At the subsequent pession Of
the Congress "Prison Labor" was the
topic for diecussion. The opening
address on the subject was made by
Charles E. Felton,, Of Chicago.
Speeches were made by Warden
James Mssse of Tororto, capt. Mich
olson OF the Detroit House Of Correc-
ton, Warden Cassidy of The Eastern
penitentiary, Philadelphia, and War
den Brush of Sing Sing. There was
great difference of opinion IS to
whether the contract or the piece sys-
TEN OF the State account systems Of
labor is the bsst. At the after
uoon session the tame SUBJ
isct YVES continued. James Moy-
lar, of Canada, made the
opening address. DR.. 81. II. Tucker,
ex.chancsllcr Of the Georgia UniveIsi-
ty,' delivered an address defending the
lesse system as regulated in Georgia.
He adduCed statistics to show that the
death rate under this system in Geor-
gia is eSs than in any penitentiary in
the United States, exc ept in Wisconsin
and Vermont. He thought the system
better for the criminal in every way
than confinement 10 prison walls aud
that it brought bis labor less in COM
pc ition with fee labor than any other
prison system, as here he is not en-
gagged in any skilled industry. DR..
P. d. Sims, Of Chat anooga, at
tackel the lease system. He said it
must not be judged by the expe-
rience in Georgia, where it is
remarkably free from abuses Of all
kinds, but by its general results in
Southern States. Though the death
rate in Georgia ia only 20 to 1000 con-
victs annually, it has gone as high as
14O to 1000 in Mississippi under the
lease system, and in Tennessee will
average 70 to 1000. The average death
ra in leased peDi entisiies is GA 10
every 1000. while in non-leased peni-
tenliaries it is only "a to 1000. Atthe
night session Charles Dudley Warner
read paper on "Extirpation OF Grim
mails" The secretary submitted a re-
port showing the rapid extension of
the association and large increase Of
membership.

LATER ABOUT THE STRIKE
TIE REPORT THAT 1T HAD
ENDED UNTRUE.
IL Came From the Packers and a
Denial Came From 1hat
Source.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, November 1.-THE
report telegraphed from here early
this evening that the strike was st an
end was based upon direct informa'
ton from the packers. At 10 o'clock
pm. information is received from the
same source that the report proves to
be without foundation Mr.. Ha'ely, of
the Executive Committee OF the Pack
ers' Association, Gays the statement
that the strike had been declared off
by the Knights was mistake. He does
not undertake to explsin how the
mistake was made, and can only FAY
that shortly before 6 O'Clock p 10. the
packers We're in receipt of information
which, though not officisi, was consid-
cred by hem to be reliable. Mesers.
Barry and Carleton, members OF the
Knights of Labor General Exc cutive
Committee, denied to reporters shortly
after cock pm. that there had
been any change at all in the status Of
the strike. A me citing Of the strikers
is in session tonight at the yards,
which is being attended by Messrs.
Barry and Carleton. Before entering
the hall, at s o'clock pm, Barry and
Careton were questioned concerning
the reported collapse Of the strike.
They denied emphatically that there
was any truth whatever in the state
ment Mr.. Carleton, who arrived this
morning as a representative OF Mr..
Powderly to investigate the situation,
said that so far FROM the strikers hay
ing surrendered, they were iull OF en-
thusiasm and confident of ultimate
victory. So far as he had been
able to ascertain today, there YVES
little or no probability OF the
strike ending until the men
had won their point, namely: that the
packers concede a technical fecogni-
ton of the principle of eight hours
work for eight hours pay, or at least
allow the matter to be arbitrated. The
statement that Mr.. Powderly had
wired Mr.. Carleton to order the strike
off was lie on its face. Mr.. Carleton
had only arrived in Chicago this morn
ing, and it was absurd to supp 80 that
he would be peremptorily commanded
to end the strike without being given
any time to fu fill the mission which
brought him here. The news con-
corning Mr.. Powderly's alleged tele-
gram had been received in Chicago
over a SPECTATORS private wires, and
both Mr.. Carleton and Mr.. Barry de-
clared without reserve the belief that
the report saying the strike was of

that all the report, d interviews with

DYNAMITE CARTRIDGES
Put Under the Spring of a Coach.

PITTsBURa, Pa, November 1l.-Up-
on the arrival at Daubers, Pa, OF the
mail train north on the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pttsburg rsilrc ad to.
day, the Car Inspe ctor, while pas
ser gers we're getting on aud of the
care at the depot, discovered three
dynamite bombs fastened under
the springs OF the rear cars. The
bombs were carefully removed, and
there were many pale faces among
the passengers when they learned the
terrible fate they had 80 narrowly es'
capped. The train started from
PuDxutawney every morning, and it
is undoubtedly at that pace that the
bombs we're placed under the springs,
as it only makes short stops between
there and Daubers. 1t is twenty
miles from the place Of starting, and
how 1t was possible for a train 10 run
that distance over short curves with
that amount Of dynamite and caps
under the springs OF a coach is
mystery. Thirty four persons were in
the coach. Suspicion points directly
to no person as the perpetrators Of the
deed. The matter will be thoroughly
investigated bv the railroad author
tiles, and an effort made to bring the
criminal to justice.

The NATIONAL CAPITAL.
THE GREAT DEMAND FOR PEN
MES AND NICKELS
AstOundIbg-GldeOn Tucker Not SO
A,gelie-RepOrt Of the Second
Auditor.

WASHINGTON, November 1l.-Dr.
Kimball, Director OF the Mint, said to-
day, on the subject Of the scant sup
ply OF pennies and 5 cent nickels, that
the coinage wss executed at the mint
at Philadelphia, but had been sus-
Ieuded on the 10th OF February, 1885,
by Secretary McCulloch, on the ground
that the amount outstanding was re.
dundant. II has since appeared that
there YVES great inequality in the
distribution oil the stock OF minor
coinage 10 the hands OF the sub
treasury, and applications for the
same 10 the mint at Philadelphia,
which is ordinarily charged with the
distribution, have been referred to the
Assistant Treasurer at Philadelphia,
where large surplus had collected.
This surplus was maintained until the
middle OF Septemb r, when it was
turned over TO the mint for cleaning
aud reissue. About this time al un-
pTecedented demand arose for
pennies and nickels, which soon
exhausted the $4,000 transferred
from the subtreasury. Since then the
work Of striking new pieces has gone
on without interruption to the full
capacity of the mint over and above
the mandatory silver dollar coinage.
In order to increase the output Of
minor coins, its quota OF silver dollars
has been reduced and 10 the came ex-
tent the coinsge at San FrancisCo and
New Orleans increased. The Director
attributes the great demand in part to
the tendency OF minor coin to unequal
circulation through general want OF
acceptability, especially at backs. The
circuletion OF pennies is confined to
ocllities where exchange is exacied
by way OF street railway fares, e'c ,
aud especially by the extraordinary in
crease OF late OF shops whose policy 1t
10 to fix prices at odd amounts
that ia to say, at prices not cor
responding to denominations of subsi-
diary coin-the Directo referring
to the 80 cent stores, go called. The
Director is now endeavoiing to ascer-
tain the total active circulation Of PEN
MES and cent pieces, and considers
that not less than 81, 900, 900 Of pennies
are now in active circulation in the
Unit, d States. The mint at Philadel-
phia is now turning out minor coin to
the value of $4,000 day. The de-
mand for these coins is today come
100000 ahead Of the supply. This
amount will soon be made up and the
public want will be fully met, even
though this results in a redundancy
through tendency to get into partic
ular channels and TO accumulate a
the public depositaIies. Orders fol
minor coins are filed in the order Of
app 'ication, but the Superintendent
OF the mint will probably be oblieet
to resort to the expedient OF filling
large OF ders in two installments.

JOHN SHERMAN
GIVES HIS VIEWS As TO THE
LATE ELECTION,
And what Is Likely 10 Result There

1dency.

NEW YORK, November II Senator
John Sherman said yesti Tday to a
Tribune reporter: owe are quite sat
j fed with the result Of the election in
Ohio. There YVES only one weak spot
10 the State. The defeat Of Congress
man Little is much to be regretted. 1t
is the one thing about which we feel
badly. There has been something
down in Kentucky to give us great
satisfaction. The Republicans elect d

tory, and one thai think has come to

to keep up with the times hereafter
and march in the step of the Union"
How about the d3fest of Morrison
and Hurd?'
GAS to Hurd, there was great dis
satisfaction with him in his district
for other reasons than his tariff views
They thought that he was not suffic-
iently we'll identified with the interests
OF the district. He was scarcely ever
in Toledo, except about elsc ion time,
so they said. But the tariff was the
great subjsc in that district. l was
there on the Saturday night before the
election, and it was the only question
that l touched upon"
evil there be any widespread effect
from the de'eat Of Morrison and Huld
as to the tariff question:"
81 do not look for it. This country
is 30 large that men come up into
prominence and drop out OF sight
without making any great stir. AS to
the tariff question ITSELF, business men
generally at the present time want TO
be let alone more than anything else.
They are opposed to any agitation Of
changes in tariff rates, aud espt cially
10 reducing the rates on articles com
peting with articles manufactured in
this country. l think the feeling gen
eral'y 10 that if the taxes are to be re.
duced, as they ought to be, it should
be on articles OF internal pre- duction
like sugar or tobacco, or perhaps by
enlsrging the free list of articles not
produced in this country"
