FEMININE ARITHMETIC.

Arlo Bates Tells Good Story About .
Girl and Publisher.
A publisher, writes Arlo Bates in the
Book Buyer, told me the other day bit Of
business experience which is mildly divert
ing. A young woman brought him manu-
script winch, after due consideration, he
expressed himself willing to publish in
a paper, fifty cents series, paying the usual
ten per cent. royalty. The young woman
expressed herself willing to accept this
offer, although she frankly said that she
had hoped for better terms.
"But," she added, thoughtfully, ''if it
costs much to make the book, should not
think twenty-five cents would leave you a
great deal of profit" Twenty five centsp
repeated the publisher, not at all under
standing.
"Why," explained she, 'there are five Of
US girls who wrote this together. Ten per
cent OF fifty cents is five, and five times
five is twenty-five. II it takes quarter of
dollar to pay US five girls our royalty, that
leaves you just the same amounts
The naivete of the proposition SO amused
the publisher that he declares he was
tempted to leave the error unexplained. He
said, however: 'But of course you can see
that we shall not lose so much as we should
if there had been ten of you, for then we
should have to make the book for nothing
and lose the booksellers discount besides.
Really, though, fear you will be obliged to
do with cent apiece" And his proposition
was rejected with indignation, the amusing
part of the story being that the lady who
conducted the negotiations declared if there
were only one author ten per cent. would
do, but that any body could see that it
would not amount TO any thing divided
among five people.

LABOR MOVEMENT IN ALABAMA.
The knights and Farmers Alliance
Unite to Capture the Legisla ture.

Birmingham special to the New York Sun
says political scheme having for its object the
control of the next state legislature, has been
started in Alabama with fair prospects of sue
cess. 1t is nothing less than a fusion of the
Farmers Alliance. the Knights of Labor, and
and all other secret labor organizations. The
plan is for the Knights of Labor to nominate
candidates for the legislature in every county
IN the state next year, and every member of all
labor organizations will support these candi-
dates. If the plan is successfully carried out,
it Is asserted that the labor candidates can be
elected in at least forty counties in the state,
which will give them a good working majority
In both branches of the legislature.
The Knights of Labor appealed to the last
legislature for the enactment of certain laws in
the interest of the workingmen and organized
labor. These bills all failed to pass some of
them being vigorously opposed by capitalists
and corporations One bill. the passage of
which was especially urged by labor organIza-
tions, was to prohibit the payment of laborers
IN store checks. 1t was vigorously fought and
defeated by capitalists.
The movement to control the next leglsla-
ture in the interest of organized labor is being
quietly pushed, and the Farmers Alliance and
Knights OF Labor have already agreed upon it,
The membership of the Alliance is now about
1900 in the state, and there are upward of
1O0, 900 knights of Labor.

BURNED IN THEIR HOME.
A Baptist Minister and Several of His
Family Perish.

The residence of Rev. F. c. Clarke, a Bap-
fist minister, two and half miles from Tunis
station. on the Virginia Beach railroad, was
burned at midnight Wednesday night, and five
persons persisted in the flames. The victims,
whose bodies were charred almost beyond
recognition were the Rev. Mr. Clark, one of
his sons, Miss Pullen, a school teacher of
Shiloh, Va, and a niece. MIR. Clarke's wife
and their oldest son and daughter made their
escape. The minister after lowering his wife
from a window, went into another part of the
house for his children, and persisted in trying
to save the boy, who died with him. He was
very popular in the ministry, having charge of
the London Bridge and Oak Grove Baptist
churches, in Princess Anne county. The
building, being frame one, burned very
rapidly, accounting for the great loss of life
