The Women OF Capri.

The Capri women work very hard in the
fields as aids to builders, and especially a.

a handkerchief full of figs TO Saratoga

Europeans Ask Mr.. Depew All Sorts Of
Questions Regarding Them.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE first fall
meeting OF the Union League club was
held tonight with Mr.. Chauncey NJ. De
pew in the chair General w. II. Sherman
was on the platform. Mr. Depew made a
speech lie thanked the club for its cor
dial welcome upon his return from abroad
and said:
"Of all the great Americans known on
the other side, not even excepting General
Grant, none are 50 well known as
James q. Blaine and William
Mckinley. They seem to regard
Mckinley as a man who has been studying
up economic subjects and has invented a
new scheme by which to close up the fac
tories of Europe and starve the people into
submission TO the American government
They piled me with questions as to Mckln-
ley and tried to get an expression as to the
nature of the man, what he is going to
with all the people abroad. | replied that
my notion of Mckinley was that probably
he had an idea of inducing them TO migrate
with all their factories and workmen
10 the great American country and thus
help give a greater consuming power TO
the agricultural products. lnasmuch as
some of the great governments abroad
have taken notion that they did not
want to be on familiar terms with the
American hog, the best they could do was
to increase the consuming capacity of the
American hog at home"

INSURANCE FOR WOMEN.

They Are Obliged to Pay a Higher Rate
on Their Policies Than Men.
Ths question of insuring the lives of
men n, exciting great deal of interest just
now. The women claim that every priYi-
lege and advantage granted to men in the
present progressive age should likewise be
granted to women.
A well known insurance agent said tho
other day:
I'VE insure women but we have not
made it { e feature that it could be made.
We have not sought for women as we have
the men, and on account Of the physical
risks which beset women we tax her s. ad-
ditional for each Sl,0O0 of insurance.
There is a prospectiveIy large business
ahead for this line of insurance, and if
woman agents would work it up it would
not be long until women would meet on an
equality with men in the insurance busi-
ness We do not limit our women who
insure TO the bread winners, but we can
show by our books many women of
wealth. Neither do we limit age. We
have girls of Is, and we have elderly ladies'
We have. three young Vassar students
who are insured for 900 each. and two
married women can recall insured for
500, 600 each
The additional tax on women's insur-
ance Is retained in some cases, because it is
not generally accepted yet that woman's
life has a monetary value. And yet the
woman who is partner in her husbands
business, the widow who supports her
family, the daughter who keeps the wolf
from the door, certainly has a monetary
value and it ought TO be recognized. To
remedy the evil | would recommend
good trained women agents to handle this
department. 1t is field Of work not yet
improved by the women toilers of the city,
and ought 10 pay well.
Single women $40 extra on every thou
sand. You see, young women are great
risks. Their health is not reliable. They
are apt 70 marry
''Or smoke cigarettes or break their
heads playing baseball or die of dissipa-
tion," interrupted an indignant young
lady in the vicinity
well, the rate is less for mothers with
children" said the representative sooth-
tngly. I'VE charge such only s. extra a
thousand, that is, if they are women of so
or thereabouts. Over that age we grant
them the same privilege as men. Stats
tics show us that women who live over 20
years OF age are even better risks than
men. We have special insurance blanks
for women and we deal with them harder
than we do with men. Her morals must
be eminently satisfactory, and her family
history is closely inquired into. Many an
excellent woman, morally and physically
has been rejected by our company on &C
count Of the deficiencies of her family. We
make no effort to secure women, but those
who apply are courteously treated, and If
they are willing to take the extra tax we
willingly examine and enroll them. -

Mr.. Depew Won't Argue With the Men
Who Resigned.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia committee OF
five of the employees of the New York Cen
tral railroad, who went out on strike,
called on Chauncey NJ. Depew in his office
at the Grand Central depot at ii O'Clock
today. They were headed by Thomas
Ballsney, an old freight conductor, and NJ.
Gaffney, another striker, acted as spokes-
man. The following conversation between
Mr.. Depew and Mr. Gaffney followed:
Mr. Gaffney-We have come to talk over
the strike on the New York Central rail
road
Mr. Depew-Tm afraid there is nothing
to talk about. The strike is virtually over
now.
Mr.. Gaffney-The strike is not over, be-
cause all the men on the road who are
members of labor organizations have quit
work and are now out.
Mr.. Depew-They have chosen to resign
their positions Mr.. Webb, who was
managing the road in my absence, took
new men in their places when they quit
work His action has been sustained by
the executive board of management of the
road. The places of these men have now
been filled and that's the end of it.
Mr.. Gaffney then asked Mr.. Depew to
wait until the committee had discussed
the matter and said that they would then
return and make their proposition TO him.
Mr.. Depew replied: "There is no use in
making false promises to you; there is
nothing more TO be done. ] do not care to
talk over back numbers. You have chosen
to resign your places; Mr.. Webb has filled
them and have nothing more to say"
The committee then left the office.

NORTHWESTERN FLOUR OUTPUT.

MINNEAPoLIs. MINI, Sept. 1.-THE
Northwestern Mill says: The mills ground
more lightly last week, this being trace
able to the duller prospect of the flour
market. The output for the week was
100. .925 barrels, againt 1855 barrels the
week before and 1873, $50 for the CORES
ponding week in 1889 The mill are now
about all grinding new wheat to greater
or less extent, the percentage used run
ming all the way from 10 to 80. Country
mills appear to be using it even more
freely The declining tendency of wheat
has made -four market very dull, and
quotations have been reduced to Is cents
per barrel The sales of the past seven
days have been exceptionally light, and
many of the firms here have about caught
up on orders, this being especially true as
to patents. Wheat was stronger today
and there seerIed to be a trife more in
quiry for -four.

NEW YORK, Aug 2s.-Queer things
happen in the lives of professionals
Some years ago when Fanny Davenport
was playing in Denver she was feeling
rather poorly, and on frequent occasions
expressed desire for some deicacies in
the way of fruits, which were hard to
obtain in the city at that season Of the
year. Before the matinee she decided to
walk to the theatre with her maid, thu
day being fine, and as usual there was o
large crowd gathered near the stage
door-men, women and children, all
anxious to catch a glimpse of the
famous actress.
Minnie" said she to her attendant,
"rd give most anything for dish of
fresh strawberries Ny husband has
searched the city over, but failed to find
any in market.
And so talking mistress and maid en-
tered the theatre, not observing the
sharp eyes Of little ragged girl who had
overheard every word.
The next day as Miss Davenport sat
eating her breakfast at the fashionable
hotel faint knock sounded at the door.
'Come in" said her husband, looking
up from his newspaper.
''If yer phase, ma'am," and a diminu-
tive creature in plaid dress and faded
hood stood in the open doorway; lair
yer Miss Fanny Davenport who plays on
de stage?"
Il have that honor. Come in, my
dear" And the child advanced timidly,
holding in her hand a small basket.
Yesterday heard yer say yer like
some strawberries, so walked down to
Miles orchard and picked them fer yer"
'"Oh, you dear child, and the lady's
eyes sparkled as she gazed at the tempt
ing ripe fruit. How kind in YOU"
Then, turning to her husband. added,
"Give her a dollar for the berries"
But the little girl drew back with a
painful flush.
"Oh, no-I-I-didn't want money
"But you must be paid for this unex-
pected treat What can do for your
IF you please, ma'am, an yer don't
moine, I'd like ter see the show ter night"
"Why, to be sure; and wouldn't your
mamma like to come also? Present this
card at the box Office and you'll receive
two seats"
akin yer pardon. but my ma-told
me to ak for eleven, and thin there's
uncle-an' Billy
"Elevenr' gasped Miss Davenport in
dismay. "Why, that's worse than an
orphan asylum
"The house has been entirely sold"
said her husband; call except the left
lower box"
"Td-rd like ter see yer show awfully
lnuch," ventures the girl, with an ap-
pealing tone.
''And you shalll" exclaims the actress
decidedly. Even if have to give you
a private box. That will provide for
the whole eleven, with standing room in
the rear"
And Herewith she wrote out an order,
and the little girl departed in triumph.
Miss Davenport thoroughly enjoyed
the delicious berries.
''But it was an expensive dish. Still,
[ didn't regret it. For indeed it was
to note the look of horror and
disgust depicted on the faces Of the styl-
ish audience present as they watched
eleven dirty and miserably dressed deni-
zens of lower Denver file into the first
private box. But apparently the Irish
people enjoyed the interest they excited,
and vociferously applauded the perform
ance." ANNIE HFRCuT.

ROW BABY WAKES.

Through the orowsy dreamland haze
Peeps two roguiSh orbs Of blue;
Wonderment is in their gaze
AS they chance to rest on you;
Cherry lips begin to work,
And you catch cherub smile;
Dimpled Gigits twitch and jerk
AS you pause TO watch awhile
Then a troubled spirit wakes,
Fears the tend& heart assail;
Ger the face a storm cloud breaks
And ensues plaintive wall
Then a brief. expectant look,
Struggling through the depth Of woe,
Plainly says. Il will not brook
ANY more delay, you know"
Now you raise her in your arms,
Pressing close the yielding form,
Captive to the many charms
OF the nurseling soft and warm;
And you own the magic sway
OF the despot small and sweet,
Casting in a reckless way
All your heart at baby's feet.

Judge Calhoun Says the Negro Power
Must be Restricted.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 1l-Judge Cal
houn, president of the constitutional con-
vention, occupied the floor for nearly two
hours today in support of his electoral col
lege plan He did not propose to mince
matters and hide behind subterfuge, but
il asked by anybody if it was the purpose
of the convention TO restrict negro suffrage
he would frankly answer, yes, that is
what we are here for" The fiat has
gone forth that fraud, force and
intimidation must cease and If the conven-
tion failed to insure white supremacy by
peaceful methods, he would in case a ne
gro was hereafter killed in "A political riot,
regard himself and every member of the
convention as accessory to the murder.
The speaker then made an elaborate con-
stitutiOnal argument to prove that the
plan he favored was Republican in form.
This plan divides the state into thirteen
electoral districts, eight of which will have
a white majority, and that these electoral
districts shall elect all state and county
officers and the state senate, the legislature
alone to be elected by the people.

thing as a systematic study of the
Scriptures was never thought Of Mr..
Miller set to work to evolve a model school
room and to establish a model school He
had thoroughly formulated both ideas
when, twenty years ago, he moved to Ak
ron and began to develop his plans.
A square building was erected, in which
there was one large semicircular room,
with a gallery. A platform, on which
stood the superintendent desk, occupied
a position on one side Of the room, and
from it radiated nine class rooms on the
ground floor and nine in the gallery, max
ing eighteen in all The partitions be-
tween the rooms were arranged to fold
back, so that when desired the whole chool
could be brought together. No matter
whether the doors were opened or closed
the superintendent could still command a
view of all the rooms. The classes were
graded, and the students graduated from
one class to another, just as they do in the
public schools Each class also has its So
ciety, and the social features make the in
stitution popular with young and old.
The school now has over thousand mem
bers enrolled
Bishop Vincent, then only plain Meth
odist parson, visited the Akron school, was
charmed with its arrangement and saw in
it the model of an institution that might
become world wide in its scope, and which
could cover every branch of education
He unfolded his plan 10 Mr.. Miller, and to-
gether they set to work to carry it out at
Chautauqua. Mr.. Miller is president Of

The MINERS GAIN A VICTORY.

ALTOONA, Pa, Sept. 1l.-At the ad-
iourned conference of the miners and
operators now in session here the commit
tee of seven from each side rendered their
report this morning. BY its provisions the
scale presented by the miners which the
operators at first refused to accept is
adopted with but few changes, and the
miners are granted their demands. The
conference sanctioned their report and the
difficulty is at an end. The miners have
gained complete victory and they are
lubilant over the result.
