The Factory Girl.

she lay on the marble slab at the
morgue.
The book of life had scarce
been read to its first chapter.
Youth. loveliness. all that consti-
tutes that glorious mortal-a per-

HER STORY.
QA factory girl-beautiful as an
angel-who supported depend
ent, helpless mother and two little
brothers in manufacturing town
in Massachusetts,. Her fair face
fired the brutal lust of the foreman
of her department. Temptation !;
threats of loss of employment the
vision of the black spectre of
hunger lowering at the door of
her mothers tenement; of her
little brothers suffering for those
things which constitute the plain
est life necessaries-these were
the pressures that pushed her over
the precipice at the bottom of
which are the blackened, ruined
lives of thousands of the poor
working girls of our land.
But her troubles are ended.
The fair young face bears little of
the sign Of the year spent since
the factory foreman blasted her
heart and turned her adrift to
finally seek the wilderness of the
west in which to lose herself.
The factory foreman is now a
respected pillar of the church, and
has become part owner in the
works.
The factory girl lays on the
marble slab at the morgue. A
pine box -potters' feld-"only
dead prostitute" the rabble re-
mark.
The factory girl is at rest. D.

harbor of Truth"
After the reading of a prose sc.
lection by Comrade Callahan !
recess was taken, after which the
question-box was opened and
found to contain several questions
provocative of much discussion
why do you socialists antagonize
the churchf" caused a lengthy de-
bate. the interest in which was
heightened by the opposition
of Mr.. Fitzgerald who defended
the church from the charges OF
those who claimed It to be simply
a part Of the machinery of the
rich to oppress those who make
the riches and who allow the
priests and preachers to fool them
by telling them that God ordained
that the poor should be so; that
God made rich people SO that the
poor might have some one from
whom to receive charity.
Socialists. one of the speakers
said. did not antagonize religion,
that is the teaching of truth such
as taught by Christ and other
good men. but they did antago-
nize churches that seek to prevent
the light Of reason from entering
the minds ofthe people. Churches
that Danish from their communion
men who dare to preach human
brotherhood should be wiped out
of existence and would be.
Whenever a preacher has the hon.
esty and courage to come out in
behalf of the poor (the workers.
the rich pillars of the church get
after him and make him shut his
mouth or fire him out. like the
Catholics did McGlynn when he
talked against the land robbers.
The debate on the church ques-
tion proved of great interest as it
tended to show the honest anti
socialists present that socialists
did not oppose religion, but that
they did oppose organized hypoc-
risy as exemplifedi in the churches
wherein is preached the kind of
religion that is made to order for
Jay Gould and his kind.

For il is only when the study Of London,

parent 1t is the fashion at present to speak
siightingly OF him, but whatever exaggeratiou
or burlesque may at times have marked bis
people, his places are. line for line. from the

be seen by any one willing to search as
patiently and infinitely az Dickens himself

likely to have been true Of Dickens. IL Il
certain that he was met In strange places and
In all weathers, Striding a. with seven league
boots, his keen eyes taking in every pecufi-
srity of people or place. and that no one
who has written has ever given more faithful
photographs OF every point. To read Dick

The commissioner Of agriculture has issued
the third of a series of reports on adultera-

port treats of authorizations of alcoholic bev-
erages, malt liquors, wines, and elders. The

made concludes that beer is generally adul-
terated with acid poisonous and injurious to
health OF thirty three samples of beer anal.

acid, OF which two were bottled beer sam
pies of Milwaukee beer, two from St Louis,
one from Alexandria, Va, and one from

In Philadelphia beer only were hop substi-
tutes found or beers brewed in Washing
ton one contained sulphite and one carbonate
of soda; the latter article was also found in
the Alexandria beer One foreign beer con-
tanned salicylic acid. The use of glucose and
sugar in malt authorizations Is condemned as
injurious to health. The preserving agents

Mr. Elton was there, and ne and some
men were just finishing the last window
hanging
Honor could not at first understand that
this furnishing was all the gift of her kind
employers. and when She did all she
could do was cry over them and murmur
broken words If thanks aud 'hen the
next day Mr.. Dooly had deeds made out
whereby IIOnora Dooly was the sole owner
TO all perpctuity Of this precious little
home, 10 her and her heirs forever.
Honor said sadly, "And what now am
to do with my savings;" for she had eX-
pected TO pay for the furnishing of her lit
tie home herself.
"Save it for Your heirs, Honor" said
Mr.. Dooly, whereat Honor, instead of
blushing, stood with look Of holy awe
and wondering hope under her rapt face,
as II such an idea had never entered her
mind, with such a blessed promise.
The next morning, which was st. Val
entine's day, witnessed the wedding OF
Honor MOriarty and Michael Dooly, and
they went home to their little cottage and
took up their married life on its peaceful
threshold, and happier pair never eX'
listed before, nor has since, for oil this was
ten years ago. and Honor has two heirs, a
boy and girl.
Mrs Elton never found another Hon.
ora, but tho distance between the cottages
is so short that the children did not miss
her so greatly, and the cookies and crul'
lers are always ready and the welcome
inst as sweet as when Honor was their
own, and yet in utter ignorance Of what
was TO come to her with her first ball.

the feat seem still more snowy. He made
very little ado about it, but sprang so lightly
that he seemed to fly through the air, giving
himself kind of graceful turn or twist and
alighting easily on the horse, which was 60
