The brotherhood of Postal Clerks
900 Strong in the Country.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 25.-Respecting
the removal of twenty-Hine postal clerks
yesterday and the reason for it, Chief
Clerk Hill at this point says the organiza-
tion was formed in this city last March,
and was known as "The Brotherhood of
Railway Postal Clerks" 1t had men,
bershlp of 9S In this district, and
about 700 in the entire coun-
try. They were all Republicans,
and if the object of the association had
been merely social ard benevolent, as
was claimed, they certainly would not
have been so secret about it and excluded
all Democrats. Their plan was simply
this: All members placed their resigna-
lions in the hands of the Executive Com
mittee, and they were to send commit
tee to Mr.. Villas and demand TO know
from him exactly what his policy
would be regarding Republican clerks.
If he did not give satisfactory answers
they would all resign in body. For
some time MIR. Villas has been collecting
evidence and the result was the order
issued yesterday.

WASHINGTON, June 2j.-The servant
girl problem in Boston is living ISSUE
as 1t is in most of the large cities. 1t was
brought to the attention OF Congress TO-
day in rather novel way.
Mrs. $. L. Baldwin, the wife of re-
turned missionary to China, submitted,
through Senator HOar, memorial pray
ing that the Chinese Immigration law De
relaxed to permit her to import from
China such servant as she thinks would
serve her properly. She says:
On account of certain serious grievances
under which | and mine are suffering, endan-
gering our life, liberty and pursuit OF happl-
ness, | am driven to avail myself OF my IN
alienabe rights OF petition to the only body
that can give me relief. | do this as an
American, with no little anticipation, as
keenly realize that in no other country In the
world-mOnarchlcal, republican or pagan
would such petition be necessary. Under
the pressure OF my necessities | beg to state
the following facts.
The memorialist recites twenty years
residence in China, and then returns 10
the domestic servant problem as fol-
lows:
have made every effort to secure good and
needed service from the servants found In TINS
lanu nave given TOUR years PAT ehI trIal
of every nationality, not excepting our own:
l have paid the highest wages. have planned
my work systematically and With reference to
their comfort; have treated them with
courtesy and kindness keeping in nina the
golden rule; have paid them on time, and, in
return, have only asked of them to do properly
the WORK which HAY had agreed. But AL IN
vain. Not one, as a rule, has seemed to fee
under the slightest obligation TO give any talr
return for wages received or have the slight
est regard for my interest. Untidiness, nadly
cooked food, waste, breakage, impertinence
and disobedience have exhausted my purse
and my patience and imperiled the comfort
and health OF myself and my family.

rated a Man and Wife for So.
NEW YORK, June 25.-TrOuble between
Louis Benner and his wife has brought to
the attention of the authorities a case of
tampering with the divorce laws by
Hebrew rabbi. The couple had saved up
81 500, which was kept in the wife's name,
and desiring TO separate, he agreed to
take $500. They went TO Rabbi Abraham
Josef, who, it is said, got from them So for
what he said was a divorce paper emit
Ting each to remarry. Louis made some
inquiry and finding that the rabbi had no
right to grant divorce went back to his
wife.
Rabbi Josef. when seen tonight, was
very reticent as to the divorce branch of
his business. He claimed, however, that
he had warned the couple that they must
get an additional divorce from the Slate
If they wished to marry again. He de-
clared that he knew his own business ard
had more authority than the reporter, the
board of health and the courts put to-
gether, and that he defied them all. The
matter is being further investigated, as it
Is believed that a regular business OF
granting such bogus divorces is carried
on in the tenement house districts on the
East Side.
