Wages and work of Ohio Mattresses.

Restaurant girls usually divide their time
between the restaurants and the hospitals
The work in itself IS, perhaps, no more than
any other, but their hours are longer, and
girls are continually at the mercy Of their
employer. When he is a man Of principle
the restaurant girl fares as well. perhaps,
rs any of her sister laborers. OF course,
there are proprietOrs who are extremely
abusive and extortionate. A case given
was that of young girl of IS who was told
to lift tub Of water from the floor to the
table. She strained every nerve, and had
nearly succeeded when the tub struck
against the edge Of the tablex<nd the con
tents flooded the kitchen. TIE proprietor
poured forth food Of oaths, and would
have struck her but for the intervention Of
others, and the girl left only TO enter hos
pital.
Restaurant girls make from 81 30 20 g
a week, and work from twelve to fifteen
hours a day. The system Of fEing for
broken dishes, mistakes, etc, reduces this
materially. All restaurants allow the girls
their meals The better class places give
them a lunch at II O'Clock and dinner at
8, but in others they lunch only on the
scraps left over from meals-Cincinnad

GOING INTO BUSINESS.

There are six different parties in the city
who contemplate opening up in retail bus
mess. People don't usually go into bust
ness without some prospect ahead, and
these are all leveI-headed men who are not
apt to tie their money up without seeing
their way pretty clear to release it again by
the transaction of business. In an inter
view yesterday, one of them said that he
had devoted the last three months to look
ing up location and he had found no city
anywhere that promised better or quicker
returns than Wichita. He concluded by
saying that straws show the direction of
the wind and, if he knewwhat straw was,
there was a good deal of business driving
right for this point. The fact that many
others regarded the matter about in the
same light as himself was an incentive to
get started and ready for business as soon
as practicable.

A woMAN,s OWN DEFENSE.

To the Editor of the Eagle
As your paper is the only one that has
seemed to have anything to say on behalf
of the friendless, | wish to make a few
statements, not that know that they will
do me any good, but you are aware that a
woman is not easy without she can say
something. As is known, ! was arrested
for setting fire to my property, or rather
on suspicion. 1t hardly looks as though [
would have lived and toiled andIwOrked all
these years. fifteen or more, here in Wich-
tia and in Sedgwick county, to accumulate
a home, and then turn around in the dead
hours of night and set fire to it all. These
insurance companies seem to take delight
in jumping on to us without the faintest
shadow of evidence, through their hired
tools and agents make us incendiaries. 1t
seems to me that if | had had any inten-
ton of firing the property, that | would
have taken pains to remove my clothes and
keepsakeS. that were not insured. As |
said before. l have lived here fifteen years,
worked hard, and spent upwards of $50, 600,
and now to be jnmped upon by these cut
threats is a little more than a man could
bear, let alone woman. Time Will tell,
and when that time comes the sharperS
will hear from me, and long and loud.

pleasure to say that the progress is very
rapid The committee on premium list
will meet again on Friday next. at which
time it Is hoped their work will be COM
pleted. 1t is safe to make the statement
that with the exception of special"
premiums, no list has ever been presented
which seems to meet with the require
ments of each class of exhibitors as does
the list of 1890 President Clover writes
that Cowley county farmers are very en-
ihusiatic on the District Fair subject, and
as the other counties in the district are
awaking to their interests. the next
monthly meeting viii undoubtedly be
large one. Every one should take hold of
this matter, and render the various com
mittees all the help possible. The mer-
chants and manufacturers viii be waited
upon soon, and it Is to be hoped no one
viii be backward about taking up the
work. This Is not a year to let petty
ieaIousies stand in the way of any enter
prise looking to the advertising of this
section of the state. The Immigration so
cietv will have an excursion about that
time. and it viii be very little trouble
considered with the good the fair can do
TO show the immense productions of the
southern counties and let the visitors so

of having seen something never to be for

a demand for offices and renting for Office
purposes was more profitable. While the
