TREE LABEL.

the annexed cut 1t has many advan-
tages. 1. One is, its cheapness; the
strips of zinc may be cut by tin-worker
from scrap zinc, and need not cost over
ten cents for hundred. 2. The coil never
cuts the bark of the tree, as with the
common wires. but expands slowly as
the limb grows larger. 8. The name is
written with common lead pencil as
easily as it is written on card. 4. The
name is durable; we have seen them
when thirty years old, as clear and black
as ever. 1t is proper to add that the
name writes much better on a slightly
rusted surface. The writing is never
effaced by weather and rains, and will
last half a century.

LANCASHIRE LASSES,

They Are the Strongest Female Work ers
in All Europe.
The Lancashire women, at least, are
the rosiest, strongest set of women
imaginable-that is, on Sundays and
holidays, when repeated wa~hings and
scrubDings have removed several lay
ers of coal-dust; and it is notorious,
locally, that at a pinch most of them
are equal in physical power to their
masculine colleagues. AT home they are
inferior to any class of women, working
or otherwise. Being engaged in the
open air all day, they can naturally
turn in the evenings with more than
ordinary zest to household duties
In word, they are thoroughly do
mesticated. Lastly-and this. after all,
is the great point-their demeanor and
general conduct are absolutely unim.
peachable.
AS to the working dress of the pit
women, thati certainly peculiar, looked
at from conventional standpoint
Up to few years ago they were at
tired like men up to the waist, with
buckled clogs on their feet. Above the
knees came the end of a peculiarly-fa
Toned tunic. a composite sort of a gar
ment-half jacket, half dress, with some
sacking material tied round the waist
as an apron.
A limp bonnet, tied under the chin,
or sort of turban, so arranged as just
to show the manipulated hair and the
bright earrings, completed the costume,
and very odd it looked. especially at a
distance, which in this case did not lend
enchan tment to the view.
Now, out of Difference to the feelings
of certain peculiarly sensitive people,
the tunic is worn little longer, so as
nearly to hide the masculine garment,
the head-dress is little heater, and, in
addition, short jacket is worn.
The dress is certainly not picturesque,
but as means to an end, as allowing
the utmost freedom Of motion and OBJ
Waiting accidents, it is beyond all praise.
Nevertheless, the women themselves
are conscious of its incongruity, and
take the earliest opportunity of chang
ing it for ordinary female attire as soon
as they get home from work.
1t has happened before now that while
:. proceeding to or from work they have,
some of them, been made the subject of
attack by somebody with an undue pro-
portion of tongue to brain, but-this
may be said with safety-never more
than once by the same individual.
| In addition to possessing highly
vigorous vocabulary they are so hard
ened with exposure to the weather and
developed by the nature Of their work
that they can give a good account Of
themselves, even though fight should
ensue, and the opponent may have rea-
son to admit, with benefiting humility,
the wisdom of Providence in endowing
women generally with the will and
keeping from them the power.-Cas-

ANARCHISTS ARRESTED.

While Mrs. Parsons was Addressing a
Crowd, She and Il Numbe of Others
Were Arrested.
New YORK, Nov. IA week ago Saen-
ger hall was hired by people represent
ing the International Workingmen's So
ciety. The proprietor of the hall did not
know that the people we're anarchists
until the bills we're posted throughout
the city announcing the celebration of
the third anniversary of the hanging of
the Chicago anarchists. Lucy Parsons,
Herr Most and Hugh o. Penticost we're
advertised as speakers. When the
the speakers appeared this evening the
proprietor refused to allow them to enter
the hall. A big crowd had c%ongregated
in the street, and Mrs. Parsons mounted
the hall steps and began to harangue the
crowd. Police Captain Glorie stepped
up and warned her to desist. She defed
him with strong language and several
anarchists urged her to continue. The
captain gave a signal and officers and de-
t~ectives grabbed the ring leaders in short
order and marched them to the fourth
precinct station. Those arrested are ia
cob Dick, John Schmidt, Edward
Hump, Englebert Hummer, Simeon
Cortman, Charles wager, Adam Dasing,
Sebastian Mohr and Mrs. Parsons. Herr
Most escaped in the crowd. The pris-
oners will be examined in the morning.

Republican Congratulations.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 1.-The republic
can state committee tonight issues an
address to the republicans of the state,
congratulating them upon the victory of
Tuesday in spite of the exertions of
Chairman Brice Of the national demo-
cratic committee and his presence in the
state preceding the election. The ccm-
mittee says the result is an endorsement
of the Mckinley bill and the administra-
ton of President Harrison and is a de-
cision in favor Of American as against
foreign interests. The democratic COM
mittee points to what they consider a
substantial victory in the state, consid-
ering the circumstances and disadvanta-
ges of an extra legislative session. and
the chairman says the Mckinley bill was
the leading issue. Like the republicans,
the democratic committee recognizes the
efficient services of Chairman Brice, es-
pecially in close congressional districts
and the state. His attitude was that of
advisor and worker, rather than dictator,
the term which they apply to the repub-
lican national chairman.

Why the Wife of a New Jersey Pastor Sc
cured a Divorce at Fargo.
PAssAIc, N. j., Nov. mo little IT.
prise was caused in this city by a dis
patch from Fargo, N. D., announcing
that Mrs. Rowland, the wife of the Rev.
William Rowland, rector of st. Johns
Episcopal church IN this city, had Sc
cured a divorce from her husband,
awarding her the custody of their bright
little 6-year-old daughter and alimony of
$500 a year. The pastors salary is but
$500. How he al be expected to pay
the alimony set by the PARKWAY court no
n knows. Mrs. Rowland is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Henry of Flushing, L.. T., and
was married to the Rev. Mr.. Rowland
ten years ago. With tastes that led her
to parties and all gayeties rather than
church work, she steadily drifted away
from her husband. Her temper brooked
no opposition, much less control. In
April, after a period during which she
would neither sit at the table with him
nor come to his room, she left him alto
gether. He had refused to cooperate
with her in her determination to secure
a divorce, but when a Brooklyn lawyer
came here and proposed a separation he
agreed to an arrangement of that nature.
Not satisfied with this. she has now Sc
cured q divorce. u
