CHICAGO IN ELLIGENCE.

The rivalry existing between st. Louis
and Chicago has led the former TO say
some ugly things, hot only about the blg
feet of the ladies Of the latter city, but,
also, about the illiteracy Of its citizens
generally. But the getting, or the effort
rather, TO get jury for the Cronin muir
der trial, goes tar to prove HAT Chicago
is one of the most enlightened cities of
this whole great American country. Several
days of examining men for the jury has
failed to find even one man ignorant
enough for jury services. Of the scores
examined not one has yet been found who
cannot read and all have read every
thing the papers have published about the
murder, and have formed and expressed
an opinion. We suEgeat that New York
or Boston should be tried.

nIem,mi Labors OF Auatriaa Women,


1t is taken for granted generally that
female suffrage would have the effect
among others, OF raising the status OF
working women-forbidding the employ
ment OF them in occupations unworthy OF
their sex. But there IS good deal OF
reason to think, if the lady voters truth
fully represent the general feeling, they
may support what is called rotrogradc
policy in this matter, says the "London
standard" Female suffrage may posi-
bly maintain the view that women should
not be debarred from any honest and
healthy occupation upon sentimental
grounds. 1t appears from the consular
reports that feminine labor becomes more
and more common in the Austrian mines,
while it diminishes in the wOolen manu-
factories. There was an increase Of 500
hands last year in the one, against pro-
pOrLiunate decrease III the other.
The women are engaged mostly III
hosting shafts and in the pushing oil
cars. Though wages are low, they pre-
fer this employment to domestic service,
because, as is surmised, they work only
eight hours, enjoying their liberty for
sixteen. But there are factory acts i'll
Austria. If this theory explains the
preference shown toward labor in the
mines as against domestic service 1t
fails to account for the di-inclination to-
ward factor, labor. Women work AT
foundries, steel works and rolling mills
also. and the inspectors admit that it does
not seem to iniure them. Tne feelings OF
the sex are everywhere alike, and If Aus
trian girls deliberately choose hard, man
ual labor rather than sedcntary or "do-
nestle" employment, We may be sure
their English sisters will incline to the
same view when emancipated.

THE COLORADO NINE DISASTER.

Eleven Men Klled-rheir Widows and
Orphans Gathered About the Pit Mouth.
DENVER, Col, September 10.-The fol-
lowing particulars of the White Ash coal
mine disaster, near Golden, Colorado,
were brought here this morning from
that place by special cauricrs. They say
eleven men were killed in all. The vic
Tins were at work in Il drit, from the bot
tom of the shaft al Il depth of 73O feet, and
were 800 feet in the shaft. Yesterday
morning there were some fifty feet OF
water in this shaft. The water finally
burst through the shaft and flooded the
drift in which the men were at work.
There is not the slightest hope
of rcscuing any OF the men alive,
and it will require weeks OF hard
work ,eforc even their bodies can be
reached. The names of the victims arc
John Murphy, single William Collins,
married, leaves a wife and four children ;
Jack Collins, leaves a wife and four chill
dren Joseph Alien, leaves wife and one
child Joseph Butler, leaves wife and
four children; William Bowden, mar
ried David Lloyd, single; John Morgan,
single Henry lIuseman, leaves a wife
ane five children Richard Rowe and AN
other man whose name has not been
learned. The mine. which is located
about one mile from Golden, furnishes
from fifty to one hundred tons of coal pei
day. The work of pumping out the
water was begun this morning. The
widows and orphans of the victims gath.
cred around the mouth of the shaft alter.
nately crying and praying for theil
loved ones, and the scene is pitiful.

DEATH OF NON. :. :. COX.

The death of Hon. S. S. Cox, in New
York, on Tuesday evening is source of
regret to the whole nation. Among the
limited number of statesmen at Washing
ton who might properly be called famous,
Sunset Cox, as he was popularly
known, was long Il prominent figure.
He was man of unusual versatility. He
succeeded in journalism, in the law and
in politics. His career in Congress was
one of steady, useful cndeavor. To him
the country is indebted for the life-saving
service, for the abolition of the fractional
currency, and forthe paternity of the bill
erecting the four new States recently ad-
mitted to the Union. He was Identified
with most Of the wise and progressive
legislation adopted during his member
ship in the House of Representatives, and
by his ready wit aud logical habit of mind
made himself a power in debate and a
dangerous foe to the legislative iugglery
which only too often crceps into the
transactions Of Congress. Setting aside
the conventional practice of lauding the
dead it may be said truly of Mr.. Cox that
he was Il man who deserved well OF his
country.

A PHILADELPHIA judge has just
rendered decision which is inter-
esting toall persons who ride in street
cars. A passenger rendered a five
dollar bill in payment OF his fare.
The conductor could not change 1t,
and after an alteration put the pas
senger off the car. The passenger
brought suit for assault and battery
against the conductor. In his charge
to the jury the judge said: "When a
passenger gets on a street car 1t is his
duty to pay his five cents fare, and If
he cannot pay it it is his duty to get
oil, and if he does not get off the con
ductor has a right to use as much
force as is necessary to put him off.
Any man with a 800 bill, if the rule
were otherwise, might ride around in
cars the balance of his life without
paying car fare" Under these in
structions the jury acquitted the con-
ductOr. The railroad companies of
Philadelphia are said to be greatly
pleased with the result of the suit.
They say they have lost a large num-
Der of fares simply because passengers
persisted in handing conductors bills
of so large an amount that they were
unable to break them.

to change the present laws of Ten
nessee regulating the charges for adj
vertising. This committee has ex-
aminsd these several bills and find
that, while the laws passed from
time to time have operated to the
detriment of publishers of news
papers in making unjust discrimina-
ton in favor of litigants, requiring
them to print legal notices at less
prices than they charge and receive
from other people who are not
compelled to advertise by law for
like space, and while the press of
Tennessee has accepted and acted
upon this discrimination with many
protests, they are willing as a body
to abide by the present laws on this
subject. The several bills presented
to your honorable body, making
changes, have each something to
recommend them. This committee,
however, looking to the interests of
every newspaper in the State, depre-
cate any change in the present laws
upon that subject, and respectfully
suggest that any change you may
make will lead to complaints that
your successors will find much more
than you are now asked
