THE SERVANT GIRL QUESTION.

Philadelphia HOusekeepers Organizing to
Secure Better Service.
The association of housekeepers formed
several months ago to deal with the servant
girl question now has nearly GOO names on
the rolls. says the Philadelphia Inquirer,
and n committee has started in to canvass
the city for additional members. G. Oscar
Beasley, the president, said yesterday that
as u result of this movement within two
months there will be l, 500 names on the list
Incompetency and general unreliability are.
the complaints against the present loose
manner of engaging servants.
Mr.. Beasley, in speaking of the progress
of the movement in this city and what the
aims of the society are, said yesterday:
"Our main object is to elevate the condi-
ton of an honest, reliable servant-girl and
disreputable servant to secure a place in
this city. 1t has heretofore been the Gus
tom to engage servants simply on written
recommendation. Many of these recon-
mendations were not only forgeries, but
mythical names were signed to them in
the servant girls. We intend to protect
them rs much as possible from the disrep-
utable employment agencies. l have to-
dry taken one step in this direction. It has
been the custom for some of these places to
insert advertisements in tho papers for
that girl reading one of them and not
knowing the address given would
naturally think it was from private
family. On calling at their address dollar
or two is extorted from them and their
names are placed on the chance list. have
today written letter to the proprietor of
one of the morning papers calling attention
to this class of advertisements and asking
him to exclude them from the columns of
his paper.
partment at Washington We have received
the curriculum of the Paris and Leipsic
schools. In both France and Germany the
training and employment Of servant girls
is department of the government.
1T is our intention at an early date to
establish temporary home for servant
girls. which will also be used rs q school of
instruction. l am now negotiating for
large building to be used for this purpose,
Most OF the servant girls have no relatives,
and many of them when thrown out of
employment en- s4sn seek cheap lodging-houses
home is ready for occupancy we
will charge 10 cents for a
nights lodging and breakfast. After each
morning meal We will have a short lecture
on plain cooking and general housekeeping.
We will issue certificates to all girls that we
hnd to be competent, honest and respect
able. These certificates will bear the seal
of the society and must be renewed eyery
six months. by this means we can keen
trace OF all who come under our jurisdic-
tion.
''rhe annual dues of the society are $s,
In return for this We propose to give protec-
ton and better service to the housekeeper
than she has heretofore enjoyed. We have
sent circulars all over the country. ana I
have no doubt that at an early day We will
have national association"

SHE WAS Poisoned

Not BY anything sne drank or took. but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels "blue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. A man
or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood Is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call it " 6lues."

Infamous Lies.

The seurrilous articles in the last
issues of the Reveille bringing charges
against the Messenger are bare-faced,
malicious and infamous lies, calculated
to injure the standing Of the Messenger
in this community, and that paper knew
1t was publishing Internal lies.
The Messenger has dendihced and con-
demned lawlesstipss and lawless Organi-
cations, and we did so whenever We got
infOrmatiOns we thought reliable, no
thing more.
We thought that paper capable of dis
cussing matters in a gentleitanly man
ner, but the moment it forgets the di-
gnity of journalism and falls to the level
of the degraded mud-slinger, we shall
treat its infamous articles with the COM

Coquetting With Lotteries.

given out, but hot yet traced to the fOun-

give $2,0CC,OOO per annum for a fran
chise, and furnish adequate bond for the
payment Of the money. They are being

proposition for this session.
Suppose Mexican Lottery bill should
come up? The Louisiana Lottery forces

principle. The measure would certainly
be killed, and under the constitution the
subject could not be again considered at

came 10 assist him, the children being
all The time under the charge of the good
Sisters of Mercy who devoted much OF
their precious time to prepare the dear
little ohes to make good first commu-
niOn.

coats, the girls in white With wreaths of
innocence bn their heads hpof which re-

The excursion made last Sunday by
the brass band Of Washington from that
place to Lake Charles was great finan-
cial success. Would it not be a good
idea for the Knights of Honor or the
Fire-bOys to give series OF excursions
during the summer to Lake Charles,
Alexandria and other progressive towns;
it would give our people chance to have
a recreation at small cost and at the
same time would help swelling the cof-
fers Of those organizations.
Our friefds of breaux Bridge are
alive to their interest and are displaying
great deal of energy and activity. A
large number of hand bills have been
distributed announcing an excursion
from New Orleans to Galveston uuder
the auspices of the Literary and GYM
nastic Citb Of that town. The train wiIl
leave New Orleans on the 2nd, and re-
turn on the 9Th Of July, giving two full
days in the Gulf City. The rate is not
yet given but II viii te low, and those
wishing to enjoy pleasant trip can get
ready for the 5th Of July.

judge Fenner on the Race
Problem.

The leading article in the June num-
Der Of The BelfOrds Magazine is from the
pen OF Hon. c. X. Fenner, Justice of the
Supreme Court Of Louisiana. It is en-
titled: 1.-The Race Problem The Negro
Should Solve IT,
This highly interesting article con-
cludes as follows: There is a platform
upon which the whites and blacks of the
South can meet AMI live together Id
peace and friendship. As | am an hO-
hest man, ! believe, there is but one.
Here 1t is: Government for the White
Protection for the Black" ...,.s
Let the negro step boldly and frankly
onto this platform. Let him abjure not
the right, but the fact OF suffrage. Let
him say to the whites of the south: "Y0u
say you are our friends; we wish to be
yours. You say you demand the right to
govern this country; we cahnOt deny
your power to dc so. You say our voting
nienares yOur supremacy and makes YOU
our enemies; we will stop voting. Take
the government. All we ask In return
is that our rights shall be protected by
equal laws. administered by Just judges
and supported and enforced by the re-
sistless power of public opinion" ",
What would be the response OF, the
Southern whites to such an appeal?. II
would strike every chord of nobility and
magDanimity in their nature. In every
community where a nOn-vOting black
league should be formed, there would In
stantly arise White Law, Order and
Equal Rights League, under whose .vigi.
a ynppvA ha oa-
cure in his rights and Finis would close
and imaginary, which, while they only
clans, grieve the hearts Of all true phi
lanthrOpists. "a
In such settlement the wise and good
white men Of the South would see much
more than mere relief from the threat OF
negro supremacy and OF Federal inter,
ferance. OF these, in themselves, they
have no substantial Fear. Existing con.
d,tiOns threaten the civilization Of the
South in matters more perilOus than
these. They threaten the majesty Of the
law. the peace and order OF society, the
purity Of the ballot, the supremacy Of the
Christian virtues, Of charity, mercy and
regard for human lie and human suffer-
ing. They remove our home politics from
the domain Of reason and principle. and
hold our people solid under stupid ne,
cessity Of self-preservatiOn, which Obliges
them to follow their leaders, however
they may condemn their methods or diff
fer from their doctrines. They dem0ra,
LIE national politics by injecting into
them cankerOus poison Of intersection
al irritation. 20.
Would it not be the grandest thing in
History if, while the wiseacres Of the
land are worrying themselves with vain
schemes for the solution OF the race pro:
blem in which they treat the negro as 9
mere autOmaton, il the negro should
himself step forward and say: Hands
off. This is my problem. | will solve 1t.
