ssCharles Seymour, Taken to Task
For His Structures on Women who
Work.


For His Structures on Women who
Work.
To the Editor of the Globe:
have read with some interest and much
greater surprise and Indignation the COM
munication in the SUNDAY GLOBE over the
name of Charles Seymour.
1t is a familiar tiuism that ''the man who
lays his hand upon woman except in an act
of kindness is coward" How much more
reprehensibleis it than TO attack her through
the medium of the public press and under
the shelter of a fictitious name. Such man
is indeed "a wretch whom it were base fiat
terv to call coward When he says that
the young ladies of this city are driving the
young men out of stores and Offices" he
grudgingly pays a tribute to the gentler sex
and meanly robs her of the merit of success
by attributing il to the cheapness of her
labor. If Charles Seymour has had as COM
petitor for a clerkship one of these same shop
girls that he traduces. and has been beaten in
the race, he must attribute his disappointment
to her ability and fitness for the position and
his own lack of the necessary qualifications
Mr. Seymour again says: would it not be
better for these girls to study at home and
learn cooking, sewing and how to become
loving wives and good motbers?" This chival-
ric defender of woman, surrounded, it may
be, by all that life desires, seems to forget
that girls, as well as men, are sometimes left
homeless and penniless. These are the shop
girls of our land All honor to them Ny
friend, if out of your infinite love for women
you will provide home for these thousands
of homeless shop girls, the men of your ilk
may take their places in the shops The
young man of this age who cannot earn a
competence elsewhere than behind the conn
ter of notion shop deserves not to marry.
and have that boundess faith in woman 3
good sense as to believe that she prefers
single blessedness to companionship with
such an imbecile. When Mr.. Charles Sew
mour bemOans his bachelorhood he should
ponder over the above injunction. But by
all odds the most undeserved SANDER that this
1nean-spirited man dsgorges upon the class
of shop girls, is that wherein he charges them
with improper relations with their employers.
The writer of this article has had an experi-
ence of over ten years in places of business
where women were employed. He has not
yet seen an employer who attempted to an
proach female employe in an improper man
ner, or If he did, such familiarity was re-

The Firemen,s convention.

The locomotive firemen yesterday listened
to the reports of the grand secretary and
treasurer, the grand organizer and instructor,
the grand trustees and the editor of the
official magazine of the organization. The
special committee appointed at the Philadel-
phia convention then submitted new con-
stitution and bylaws, which it was decided TO
discuss section by section before adopting.
This work will take up to-day entirely, so
that the convention will not finish its labors
as soon as was anticipated. No evening
meeting was held, the 6remen deciding TO

A Demand for minneapolis Talent.

According to a local report certain musi-
cally inclined gentlemen, of Omaha, are in
correspondence with Prof. Blakely the Min
neapolis musical director, looking toward Sc
curing him as a conductor for a vocal organi-
cation which it is proposed to effect. With
some knowledge of Dave Blakely, it cav be
said that while he will work Omaha for every
dime in sight, he is a good choral director and
has no chestnuts of the Pratt's ZenObia order

Cork.

Cork is the bark, not the. wood, of the
cork oak. The bark comes from Spain
and Portugal, where they keep cork
woods. 1t doesn't kill the tree to take
its bark away, and it can be skinned
every six or eight years. About 81
600 900 worth of the raw bark is brought
to this country every year. The cork
has to be steamed before it is cut.
Corks are made in thousands of sizes
and grades, from the size of pin-head
up to four metres in diameter. No few
err than six hundred sizes and grades
are kept in stock. None of the bark
that comes over in the ships goes to
waste. The cork makers used to burn
the refuse, but now they know better.
In 4 granulated state it is used as roof
backing. The heat can't get through
the cork protector. The palace car
builders use the same stuff to pack un-
der the floors of. their cars to deaden
the sound and under the root to keep
the heat out. The finest of the refuse
is used by picture frame makers in dee
orations. They sprinkle it on th'i'
bronzed or japanned frames; AMI large
models. in the shape OF pictures, are
made from it when pressed like paper
marhe. Fruit and egg cases, g
houses and ice machines are often pack
ed with the granula,cd cork, which
costs only two cents pound.

n Fathers Wish Sufficient.

William III. Vanderbilt was an invet.
crate smoker when in the middle OF lie.
But his father hated the hurtful weed.
He and his father sailed together on
voyage to Europe. They were on the
steamer "Notth STAR" bound for st.
Petersburg. They were airing them
selves on deck. William was putting
away ut his cigar as if the luxury was
most enjoyable.
Bill" said the father to the son, 81
wish YOU would give up that smoking
habit of yours. III give you ten thou
sand dollars If you will"
"You need not pay me any thing"
was the sons response. "Gour wish is
sufficient"
And as the words were spoken the CT
gar was flung into the blue waves. He
never afterwarl smoked another cigar
so it is said.
What manly defence did this son show
TO the desire of his father. He valued
his fathers wish more than ten thou
sand dollars. And if there be any boy
who is learning to love the cigar, let
that boy consult his parents wish. Let
that boy honor his parents request Let
him fling his cigar with contempt to
the winds, and never taste another.
And that act will be of more value to
him than a check for ten thousand dol
lars. Will not sweet remembrance OF
self. denial be worth more? Will not
pleasing conscience be worth more!
Will not victory over the disgusting
habit be worth more? Will not protec-
ton from that which defiles the body
and the soul, if not the spirit, be worth
more? Learning to smoke the cigar is
taking the first step toward the saloon.
Another step may never be taken, yet
it can readily be taken. Take no steps
i'm that direction. The noble boy will
ask his father for permission before he
will smoke the first cigar. And the father
who has the thousandth part of Il grain
of common sense will grant no such
pernicious permission.

An old farmer, given to Dragging
how folks used to work in his young
days, one day challenged his two sous to
pitch on load of hay as fast as he could
load it. The challenge was accepted,
the hay-wagon driven round, and the
trial commenced. For some time the old
man held his own very creditably, call
ing out "More hay-more hay :"
Thicker and faster it came. The old
man was nearly covered. Still he kept
crying, "More hay-more hay" At
length, struggling to keep on the top of
the ill-arranged heap, it began at first
TO roll, then to slide, and at last off it
went from the wagon, and the old man
with 1t. "What you down here for?"
cried the boys. 81 came down after
more hay" answered the old man.

SAN Francisco, December l4.-The

to-day, at which about l25 were pres
ent A number of speeches were made.
Several urged that no violence be re-
sorted to; that those who had arms
should lay them aside. A committee
appointed to call upon Chief Crowley re-
ported that they had obtained his prom
ise to send detail of police to protect
the procession of strikers which was to
take place after the meeting adjourned.
The committee also reported that com.
plants had been made for the arrest of
James McCord, superintendent of the
Sutter street railroad. The meeting
then adjourned, and the strikers
marched to Sutter street followed by a
large crowd. The line of march was to
ferries, back to Sutter street and over
the same ground covered yesterday. The
cars on both the Sutter and Geary street
roads were put on this morning and have
been running up to this hour without
any disturbance occurring.
Strong squads of police were stati oned
at both ends of the Sutter and Geary
streets roads, but no disturbance what
ever took place during the day. Cars
on both lines stopped running as soon as
darkness set in.

purpose of considering the tariff ques.
tion. Among those in attendance were
Representatives Randall, of Pennsylva.
mia; Green, of New Jersey; Aearner and
Fry, of Ohio; Martin, of Alabama; Mer.
riman, of New York, and Wallace, of
Louisiana. After discussion of about
two hours, during which the members
advanced their individual views as to
what should be done, the following
propositions were unanimously adopted:
First-They stand opposed to enter.
ing upon the consideration of the pend.
ing Morrison bill.
Second-They favor reduction of the
revenue at this session so as to prevent
the accumulation of surplus in the
treasury, but insist that it shall be eff.
tected by some measure which shall EN-.
brace the repeal or reduction of certain
of the internal revenue taxes.
Third = They favor an immediate
change in the administrative features of
existing tariff laws, separate and apart
from any general revision of the tariff.
A further conference will be held before
next.
