How to Learn Short Hand.

Prof Johnson, late OF Chicago, is in the
the city. He is thorough short hand re-
porter, and is going to remain in our city
long enough to see if he can organize
class in shorthand. He teaches either
Pitnans or Munson's system. This is an
opportunity for our young men and women
to learn this great art. There Is q wide field
and great demand for persons who can
write as fast as one can talk and who can
also use the typewriter. Employment is
sure to such.

Third Dav Of the Conference

NEW YeRK, May 5.-Interest in the
Methodist Episcopal conference increases
daily. To-day there was larger audience
present than on any previous day. Bishop
was suspended for the purpose of giving the
committee on rules an opportunity TO report.
A number of amendments were made to the
rules. They were unimportant, but created
much discussion. The various committees
were then snnounced. General Clinton B.
Fiske then took the floor to advocate the
admission Of women. General Fiske con-
tended there was nothing in the law OF the
church which says lay.delegates shall not
be women. 1t would be revolutionary to
turn the women out by vote of the gen.
eral conference, and the church could not
afford 10 exclude them. ''Are We so cow
ardly," asked General Fiske, "that we
would refuse to admit woman Tor fear
that she would fill the place of q man?"
Rev. A. j. kynett secretary of the Church
Extension society, favored the admission of
women, and said that the Baptists and
Congregationalists admitted them to their
conferences. Rev. ID. II. Moore, of the
Colorado conference, contended that
women should not be admitted In closing
DIR. Moore offered in substitute to
previous substitutes, a substitute providing
that during the month of October, 1890, a
general election should be held in each
church and that all members be called
upon to vote either for or against the ad-
mission OF women as lay delegates. Should
the majority of the church he in favor of
the admission of woman as lay delegates
then the general conference 1892 can
complete the change. Rev. A. c.. Pendle-
ton moved the previous question. Consid-
erable excitement existed while
the vote was being taken. When the an
nouncement was made it was discovered
that the motion was lost, the vote stood
32 aye and 1877 nay. After some discuss
sion an adjournment was had until
Monday.

The street railway will be extended i'm

according to the present plans, will be
extended around Coeur ID Alene park,
down Sprague treet to Post street, also

line will be finished In short time.

a story Of Lincoln.


Gen Charles l.. Williams, an intimate
friend Of President Lincoln, noticed "A wom-
an go by his office window day by day, her
shabby dress getting more shabby, her
sweet. refined face more sad aud worn, her
step more weary, her looks more despond-
ing, until his good heart was touched, and
he made inquiries TO learn, who she was.
His friend said "Why, General, she is
Mrs. Wardsworth from Vermont She has
boy in the army, little fellow Of l3, who
ran away to Join. He is now across the
river, on the Potomac She has lost two
sons in the battle of Bull Run, and this boy
is her last She is n poor widow, and she
is trying to get her boy discharged. She
went TO the secretary, but he stuck his
thumbs in his vest arm-holes, and remark
ed

and then said, simply Bring them 10 me. l."
That evening when the boy had been
brought to Washington, clothed in citizens
dress and united with his mother, Gen
Williams accompanied them to the eXecu-
tive mansion Falling on her knees at
sight Of Mr.. Lincoln, the poor woman would
have bathed his feet with her grateful tears,
hut he gently raised her to her feet, saying
Madame, kneel only to your God. You

Amoosiek Mountain story.

Many years ago when Col White grand
father of the Hon Joseph White of WI
iam,town, was engaged in repairing the
road over Hoosick mountain, which is now
the main highway and was for many years
the stage route, large force of men were
employed under him. The men were of
course all from the village, and they took
their dinner with them, which repast was
eaten in "A hurry as the men had another
lob ON their hands before they begun work
on the road. 4 short way from where they
ate their dinner was huge boulder, located
nearly at the top of the mountain, and the
men one daV thought it would he good
scheme to roll this stone down the noun
tain. They therefore worked several days
after their dinner was finished, digging
around this boulder and getting it loose
from the ground. 1t was nearly round,
and one day when all was ready they
auplied their shoulders to the stone and
sent it rolling down the mountain side. 1t
gained terrible momentum and crashed
through the timber Jcrushing large trees
as though they were but pipe stems 1t
finally stopped rolling when the level
ground was reached at the foot OF the
mountain and is to this day quietly repos-
ing near the farm house of Jonathan Fra
sier. When the stone was first started the
men set up a shout which finally died out
ON their lips as they stood there and watch
ed the awful power of the stone, which
cleared for itself a straight pathway down
the mountain side, six feet wide, as clean
as though it had been cut with an axe.

Working Women,- society.

A society has been formed among the
working women of New York to attempt
to eliminate at least few of the deplorable
evils that have resulted from an over supply
of female labor in many occupations and
consequent disastrous competition. 1t is
intended to be sort of central or oversee
ing body that shall found trade organiza-
tions among the women where they do not
now exist see that the laws relative to the
protection of women and children i'll facto-
ries and shops are enforced and decent con
duct accorded them to also form labor
bureau to facilitate exchange of labor be
tween country and city and to secure for
both sexes equal pay for equal work. Such
an organization ought to effect many good
results. The labor bureau will be of use in
relieving the over crowded occupations in
the city and meeting the demand, not alone
in New York, but in New England and
even at the South, for household help.
