Slavery in Chicago.
From the Chicago Mail.

From the Chicago Mail
Enough has been printed in the
Times already to convince the most
skeptical that slavery does actually
existin Chlcago-and in form too
as degrading and disgusting as it very
we'll could be in the midst of civilized
society. The slaves in every instance
are young girls, young women and old
women--females-who through sheer
want of any other means of procuring
food and lodging are compelled to
seek work in those hell.holes called
factories.
They are taken advantage of by as
cowardly a lot of taskmasters as ever
disgraced manufacturing city
They are driven, bullied, insulted and.
swindled. They are compelled to
take in wages anything their "bosses"
may see fit to offer them They
appear to have no recourse no remedy
whatever. They have no unions to
regulate prices and if they had they
are women and would have no power
to enforce them.
This species of slavery is doing
more harm to honest workers than
convicts or contract labor ever could,
1t is degrading and demorahzing in
its effects upon every line of business.
1t is working injury TO the manly and
honest manufacturer, who is not tv.
rant swindler or coward and it is
lnjuring the jobber and retailer.
Honest labor can not compete with
slavery. Honest merchants can not
compete with those who starve their
employees.
The entire system is curse to this
community. 1t should be wiped out
1t must be wiped out.

Story of the Chicago Fire.

George &. Williams well known jewelr,
merchant of Chicago, was at the Lindell the
other day. lie was relating to a number OF
friends several incidents which he remem-
bered Of the Chicago fire, and one of the
many unpublished stories of that terrible
calamity, told by Mr.. Williams, is worthy Of
print even at this late day. Mr.. Williams
and his family were fleeing for their lives to-
ward the lake. and as they reached the cor.
ner of Ontario and State streets. on the
north side, they met q poor, lone woman
struggling in the maddening crowd anc
seeking to gain the street, where, she was in
danger of being run over by the hundreds O,
vehicles which were driven by frantic
drivers at break neck speed toward the lake
Mr.. Williams took charge of her and kept
her by his side. The woman was carving
closely wrapped object in her arms, and
svery now and then would murmur soothing
,,,,rds of comfort to it.
The lake was reached at last. The woman
laid the object on the sands. 1t was a large
water pitcher, filled with papers. The woman
.yve vent to an ear piercing scream and
swooned away on the beach. She became
hopelessly insane, and was subsequently re-
moved to an asylum, where she is now con.
fined. Through her insane rawlings the
true story OF the horrible mistake of the
poor woman WINS learned. 1t seems that
when the fire first broke out she began pack
ing up her household effects, her husband
being away from home Before she had
time to complete the packing the devouring
flames were close at hand, and realizing her
imminent peril she snatched her infant to
her breast with one arm, and with the other
hand secured pitcher, which was filed with
securities and money. Running to the yard
in the rear of the house she threw, as she
thought, the pitcher of securities into an old.
dried up cistern, and fed with the supposed
Sabe to the lake. When she reached that
-aven of safety she discovered that, instead
of the pitcher, she had thrown the child into
the cistern. -Globe- Democrat.

The Anniversary at the First NJ E, Church
Last Night-An Interesting, Pleasant
and Profit abIS Time

The anniversary of the Young Mems
Christian Association was celebrated last
evening at the First NJ E. church which
was largely attended and proved very in
structive to all present. First on the pro-
gram was an overture by Shaw's orchestra
followed by a voluntary on pipe organ by
MISS Lulu Granger, then song from
Gospel Hymnal by congregation, led by
Professor Kench, after which scripture
lesson was read and prayer offered by Rev.
Love.
The audience was next favored by a
double quartette, For God SO Loved the
World" by Messrs. H. Imboden, J. f.
Miller, Will Grove. Faulkner, j. L. Coul-
ter, c. S. Caldwell, L. S. Holloway and
Prof. Reach. Then followed the report of
r. E. Lawrence who has SO sat
isfactority discharged the respective
duties of president of this association
for the past year, after which Hiram I'm
boden, who was recently elected president
of the Y. NJ. c. A, took charge of the
meeting and introduced Rev. Hobbs, who
talk at some length on the subject 1.-THE
Work" In his usual style DR.. HOODS en-
tertained his attentive audience in his
TO score his brethren on the all important
topic, prohibition, calling especial atten-
ton TO negligence of officers who allow
joints TO run, and almost as openly as Ii
censed saloons. The Dr. was very emphat-
ic on the secular work of the Y. NJ. G. A,
which is to make men strong physically,
its principal agent being the proper utili-
zation of the Indispensable gymnasium.
Mutual education shall also be cultivated
languages such as Spanish, German and
French be taught, also music. With the
doctors ideas carried out this Y. NJ. G. A.
would be by far the most
attractive place in the city, and the good
that might be accomplished is incalcula-
bic. Rev. Matthews was on the program
but Secretary Baird received a telegram
from the doctor from Minneapolis yester-
day, which read as follows: Cant make
anniversary; am very sorry" Philippians
i, 2 to inclusive Next was short talk
by Rev. Gates on the worker" defining
the qualifications cf those who should
have charge of the different departments
of the Y. M. G. A. under the following
heads: First, Faith in God; second, faith
in self; third, faith in humanity; fourth,
fifth in the Bible; fifth, faith in results.
These topics were simplified with beauti-
full illustrations, proving the rapid ad
vancement of the good work. The exer-
cises of the evening closed with selection
from the choir by special request, which
was a beautiful anthem, melodiouSly rem

BADLY BURNT.

Sunday night about 0 o'clock, as Mr..
Fox, of Kansas City, general agent for the
Domestic sewing machine, was coming
down Water street he WAS attracted by a
Cry of pain. In few seconds afterwards
he saw woman, her dress in flames, rush
from the house by which he was passing
and run to tub of water in the yard and
endeavor to eXtinguish the flames. He
hurried to the rescue and tearing the outer
garments off her, he soon had the fire out.
The lady, whose name was Mrs. San
ford, was quite badly burnt, especially
about the wrists, arms and face;
and but for the prompt and eff
ficient assistance rendered by Mr.
Fox she would have suffered still more Sc
verely. She was lighting fire, she said,
in her gasoline stoYe and in some way her
dress took fire. She ran. all ablaZe, from
the house aud in this manner spread the
flames and that set the perishable goods
in the kitchen on fire.
Mr.. Fox, as soon as had relieved the wo-
man by assisting her into her room and
having medical aid summoned, turned his
attention TO the burning house. With the
assistance of neighbors who had gathered
this fire was, too, eXtinguished.
