GERMAN LUTHERAN FAIR.

The attendance at the ladies' fair last
night was, in spite of the many meetings
in and about the city, a very good one.
The hall was indeed crowded by about 9
o'clock, when quite number of prominent
politicians iocked in, favored the fair with
their presence and advanced the chances
of their friends Messers. Charles Luling
and Amidon, as well as the ladies, Misses
L. Ford and j. Hall, by casting scores of
votes in their favor As IL stands now the
Republicans are far ahead which viii
probably instigate the Democrats to in
vigorate their efforts for their candidate.
Miss Goldberg delighted the large aud

will delight the gathering crowds with
her sweet songs.

A Fine Place,

Anumbrella maker has worked for rather
over two years for a firm in London. She
was machinist, and was paid by the piece,
so that any loss of time was no loss to her
employer. Like most women in this trade,
she was often kept hours waiting for her
work, and was of course paid nothing for
the time thus spent, though she was fined
if she did not arrive punctually. Her fines
for this and other trivial matters-all these
things being of questionable legality-are
shown in her wage books to amount in the
two years and little over to the sum OF
e6 Is. Cd. No account of the sums thus
deducted is rendered by the employer The
average wage of this woman was about los.
aweek. Comment may very well be dis
pensed with-Christian Union.
