WORKING WOMEN IN CITIES.
Commissiouer Carroll ID. Wright Of the
Labor Bureau Talks on the subject

Friends Meeting House was crowded yesterday
afternoon when carroll d. Wright, the Commits
sioner OF the Labor Bureau, began his talk on
working Women In Large Cities" He said that
the traditional sewing girl, leading sad hard
life in her garrett had given place 70 another type
which Mr.. Howells had portrayed In Lemuel Bar
ker This modern working girl was fond OF pleas
ure rather frivolous but wfthal Industrious. He
thought that there was now In this country
from A million TO q million and a half women
engaged In manufactures and kindred pur-
suits. These women congregate In large cities,
and as a class the speaker said. that they claimed
his sympathy more than any other class OF work.
ers He Thought that machinery had a great deal
20 do with bringing this class into existence En-
lsration also had Its influence, and the demand
for cheap goods As to the condition OF the work
ing women Col Wright said that
THEY WORK FOR vsRY SMALL WAGES.
Their average weekly pay is only s5.17. There
were many causes to keep wages down. The main
cause, perhaps, Is that working women form a
new economic element and they are earning
money where they earned nothing before. Then
another cause Is the custom OF people in good cir
cumstances OF taking work 10 be done at their
homes. In Lynn, Mass, the binding OF shoes was
largely done by women at their homes, and those
who were Obliged 90 rely upon this work for their
entire subsistence suffered diminution In wages.
THE HOPE OF MARRIAGE,
the speaker thought, prevented many women
from perrecting themselves in their trade and this
impaired their efficiency. Then the system OF
fines In the shops and other causes were named
The speaker thought that these things were the
fault OF the system and what can be proposed to
take its place, he said, was the leading economic
question OF the day. The question asked.
WHAT DO The SOCIAL CLASSES OWE TO EACH OTHER?
Is an important one. IL the answer Is nothing y
then the speaker thought that the principles OF
the Christian religion were lost sight OF. He
thought that the question must be answered In
the spirit OF the words 'Insomuch as ye have done
IL unto the least OF these little We have done
IL unto me-" He said that II the question is not
answered In this way IL Is not answered at all.
Conditions must be learned and an effort made to
improve them. The strong can help the weak, the
rich the poor; the capitalist build better
ements for the poor. Then the church can lend its
helping hand, and by improving the condition OF
the wOrkingmen at all points the solution OF the
problem Will be found. He thought that indus
tr1al teaching. homes and other means employed
were simply agencies 10 ameliOrate the condition
of the working classes, and not solutions.

THE STARVING INDIANS.
Terrible Condition OF the Desti.
o tute Red Men,
In Northern Minnesota--A Call for Aid
---stoicism of the Suffering Sis
seton Indians---General
Domestic News.

ST.. PAUL, Jan. 27.-Special IA de-
spatch from Browns Valley says: In
regard to the statement made few
days ago that the Indians here are in a
starving condition, it was found yester-
day that quite number of them were
entirely dependent on the charity of
several families in this place. The
agent is doing what he can do to help
the needy ones, but for some reason he
tries to cover up the fact that the Indi-
ans, if not actually suffering, are
greatly in need of assistance. Even by
visiting the log cabins where several
families are generally housed together
during the winter months, it is a hard
matter to learn whether not or they have
plenty, or are next door to starving.
You can only surmise by either the
healthful well fed, or the pinched hun
cry looks of their faces. The Indians
will not utter a complaint, but tighten
their belts one more hole and with a
stolidity that is beyond comprehension
sit down in corner, pull their blankets
over their heads and grin and bear it,
even to their death. The present desti-
tuition is attributable to the partial
failure of the crops last season. They
receive no more cash annuities from
government. The Sissetons are rich in
lands, but generally share them with
those who have the most scanty pro-
visions, or little or no means of procuring
enough to keep body and soul together.

What Am I to DoP

The symptoms of biliousness are un-
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. To frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and diarrhea OF constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate
There are often hemmOrrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddineSs
and often headache and acidity or fiat
ulence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not
effect cure try Green's August Flower
1t costs but trihe and thousands
attest it's efficacy. ~

Three Negroes Lynched and Their
Bodies Filled With Bullets.
a Masked Mob of Lynchers overpower
aJailer and Send the Souls of Three
Murderers Into Eternity Over
the Usual Route.

PLYMOUTH, N. c., Jan. 28.--ISpecialI
Lynch law ran riot here Thursday
night and yesterday morning. The peo-
pie were Mortified to find that three ne.
gro prisoners had been taken from the
county Jail by a band of masked men
and conveyed to the woods on the out
skirts of the town, tied to trees and
then shot to death. The bodies were
found in the position in which the
lynchers left them, securely bound to
the trees and riddled with bullets. The
lynching party gathered at the
jail shortly before midnight and
demanded the jailer to deliver to them,
Jack Blount, Brother Matthew Blount
and Patterson SPRINT, all colored, who
had been jailed charged with the MUIR
der Of John Dawson, a peddler, New
Years day. The jailer refused but was
overpowered and was forced to permit
the men to be taken away. When the
the woods was reached the victims
begged piteously for mercy, but no at
tention was paid to their outcries.
Then the lynchers, armed with shot
guns, muskets and pistols, began their
bloody work and fired volley after vol
ley until the wretches were dead. Mat
thew Blount was preacher of some
local notoriety and had previously lost
an arm.
