THE SILK MILL WORKERS,
Bright, Pretty Girls Who Are Proud
of Their Work and Their
Good Name.

OF all the girls who work in factor
les the young woman of the silk mill
is the brightest looking, the best clad
and usually the prettiest. You could
scarcely believe, if you saw her in the
street after the day is done, or on
Sunday or a holiday, that she has
stood all the long day on her feet, ply
ing her hands, her thought, her eye,
and her ear being increasingly on the
alert. She is smartly and genteelly
dressed. She has a jaunty, bright air,
her laughter is a ripple, and the de
mure consciousness in her rogu1sh eye
tells you that she knows it all.
She can well afford to dress herself
we'll, for if she be quick and capable
her average weekly earning will not
fall below SO. An experienced girl,
with quick hands, and in whose skill
the employer can place confidence,
will make from $14 to $1S per week.
And mercy mel all the silent WOO
ing, the mute language OF eyes, that
must go on among these looms; and
this is attested by the many couples
that are constantly being welded

the process of the match making
there as / saw the process OF fabric
making among the machinery. There
was scarcely a loom in any factory
/ that | entered but had q banged fore
/ head and a pair of bright eyes behind
it; a casual glance would impress you
/ that she thought of naught else in
this world but her reels, her threads,
/ her shuffles or her loom; but a figure
| passes in between the humming ma
/ chinery, and she does not miss seeing
| him too.
She will come to work demurely in
the morning as a young nun, and she
will trip out at lunch without a word,
| going, perhaps, arm in arm with her
slady-friend, but in the evening,
when wheels and shuff1es cease their
| clatter, you will find that she has her
tryst right at the very door of the
mill; and how proud and happy the
| young operator seems as he walks
away with her toward her homel
There is a strong pride OF the high
est kind among these young women.
They believe that no occupation on
the earth is superior to theirs; theil
personal conduct is the highest, and
they delight in the good name of al
their companions.
1t would not do to employ siovenly,
dirty, or careless persons in these
mills. The most costly fabrics are
works of their hands, and broker
threads, the smirch made by a dirty
gown or uncleanly fingers, would be {
serious damage to the fabric. -Har

Edward eaton Choked TO Death BE
tween Iron Fence Rails.
A colored woman who was passing
through the White House grounds last
night about 73O O'Clock heard groaus
and saw man struggling In the iron
fence. She became frightened and
started to run away, but was stopped
by the watchman at the guard box and
asked what was the matter. She said
that there was a man In agony around
on the other walk, and went and
pointed out where he was.
A man was found with his head
closely wedccd iu between two iron
pickeis of the fence and he had already
been choked into insensibility and was
evidently dying. The patrol wagon
was summoned and the man immo-
diaiely removed TO the Emergency Hos
pital where he died soon aftsrwari.
An examination of the clothing was
made and papers found showing the
man TO be Edward Cation 8 cigar
maker
II Is not known whether the man
committed suicide or accidentally fell
while climbing over the fence The aC-
Cidental theory is the most probable
one Coroner Patterson found that
death was caused by asphyXiction.

FROM RIVERSIDE TO ARLINGTON,

The proposition 10 remove the remains Of
Gen. Grant from Riverside 10 Arlington will
come up within a few days. 1t is embodied in
a resolution which has already passed the
Senate and is now in the hands Of Representa-
tive OAeill, Of Pennsylvania. Representative
Quinn, OF New York, who has very cleyerly
prevented the passage Of the resolution on
several occasions by his watchfulness, is hope
ful that he can secure a pOstp0nement Of the
measure unit! the next Congress. He thinks
that IL this can be done that the resolution will
be dead for all time. Mr.. Quinn thinks that
the demand for the removal Of Gen. Grants re-
mains is in no sense a National one and that
people outside Of Washington are not concern
ing themselves about the matter. But ia this
Mr.. Quinn is very much mistaken, for the letters
received by THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE from all
parts Of the country, show conclusiyely that
Gen. Grants old comrades think his remains
should be buried at Arlington.
