Extracts From Paper Read at the Con-
vention Recently Held.
The following are extracts from paper read
a. the Convention OF Working Girls. recently
held In New York. They are from paper pre-
pared by Miss Maria B. Chaplin:
A working girl is doing other working girls an
injury when she consents to work for less tnan
living wages" A girl who Is supported by her
parents and only works for pocket money, or to
buy her clothes or young married woman VINO
works FOR the same objects, can afford 10 take
lower wages than girl who has TO pay her own
board, etc.
Foreigners should not be brought over 10
compete with American girls. They will work
accustomed to 60 without what an American
life.
We do not approve of the principle OF strikes.
We should prefer 10 see all matters referring 10
labor and capital regulated by law. For inns
purpose representatives should be sent to Con-
gress who would really represent the wage earn
ers and their interests.
Strikes generally profit no one but the walk
Ing delegates. Strikes III rare instances, and IN
the present state OF laws, are lustlhed when the
employer attempts TO bring the wages paid down
TO starvation rates. They Will only succeed II
the girls all 60 out together and il they all remain
firm
One good, pure minded girl often eevates the
tone OF those working with her. Any girl Win
common sense Will be disguised with the con
yersatlon of a "tough' girl. Girls soon dwndle
into groups according to their tastes and char-
aeters. If the good girls predominant the
has more influence than one "tough." We have
noticed the superiority OF girls belonging 10 our
societies. Their good thoughts are strengthened
there. They are helped by the practical talks"

Women on school Boards.

In the utilization of women in local. educa-
iional and reformatory boards in New York, says
the Woman's Cycle. that city is bshind all other
cities in this or any other civilized country. This
is not because the general average of intelligence
is lower, but because the governing machinery
Is more ponderous, more difficult 10 reach and
influence even for Its own and the public good.
The ladies engaged in the work are in dead
earnest. and are now about forming ward COM
mlttees TO influence opinions and secure the ap-
pontment OF one or more women upon every
local School Board in the city. A special reason
why two are better than one aud three than TWO
Is that not being able TO reach male trustees,
secure their time and attention or In
duce them TO attend 10 such small
matters as repairs, nulsances, needs,
supplies ana the Ike, which yet sources OF
barassing discomfort every minute Ill the DAY.
The one woman, If there is one, is deluged with
appeals and made TO devote her entire time TO
public work which as truly devolves upon all the
resi-, who receive the credit IL 1t is due and are
held TO no responsibility if 1t is not done. ms
city pays out upward OF Sc 100000 for its free
schools per annum, but this enormous sum Is
employed in making more fixed and unalterable
the rigors and abuses OF a machine system than
IN opening every avenue to modern aud improved

BLYTHE'S LETTERS.
Eccentricities in orihogrsphy and Ora

Eccentricities in Orihography and Gram
maticism.
DR.. Taylor closed his argument yesterday
for the Williams claimants in the Blythe
contest.
He devoted his attention principally to
establishing the similarity between the
chirography of the letters written by
Thomas Williams twenty years ago and by
Thomas Blythe within the past few years,
with the idea of demonstrating that Thomas
Williams and Thomas Blythe were one and
the same person.
He said Blythe was an eccentric ortho-
grapher, spelling location" for coca
sion" ''whent" for when" and other
words incorrectly; that the millionaire
exhibited careleSsness in completing his
words, and that his ungrammatcism was
well marked. He showed that all these
eccentricities in writing were alike twenty
years ago, as in a more recent time, and
argued that they established the reliability
OF any letters that had been disputed by
the opposing counsel.
The further hearing of arguments was
then continued until Monday next
