The number Of caiamities the past
few days involving large loss Of life has
been almost unprecedented, and one

safe from violent death. In the heart

plodes and forty lives are hurled into
eternity. At Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
700 men, women and children are crow
ded on a wharf waiting the landing of a
steamer when the wharf chains give

The Illinois Central Railroad has
made proposition TO its employees to
take stock in the road, same to be paid
for in monthly instalments deducted
from wages. This looks fair on the out
side but in reality is a scheme to unite
the employees with the road so they can
not strike. They never could have the
slightest voice IN the management of the
road, and as to the price q stock they
must pay market value, thing any
saving employee could do with the surplus
of a few months wages in open market
without the Intervention of the road. As
a saving scheme for the improYident,
whom it will not be likely to reach, it
would be beneficial. but otherwise the
advantage all goes to the Illinois
Central.

The State Executive Committee
have appointed Mrs. J. M. johnson,
2O6 Broadway, Little Rock, to fill the
unexpired term of State Treasurer,
left vacant by the death of our dear
Mrs. Rice. All money for dues,
State work, minutes and headquarters
should be sent to her, and please,
dear sisters, if money for different
purposes is sent in the same money
order, specify how much for each, so
the Treasurer can put it in the right
place without having to write to find
out, and as there is only about three
months to the time of the State con-
vention, we hope the Unions will be
stirred up TO active work and be pre-
pared to send the money for dues and
any other, to help the work forward,
when notified by the Treasurer, and
report to the Corresponding Secretary
by the second week in April so she
can make out her report.
