In the coed old free trade days the farmers
wife who wanted eight yards Of calico Tor
dress had to give the store keeper eight
dozen chickens, or their equivalent in value.
Today eight dozen chickens will purchase
s42 yards of calico. And IL 1t were not for
the profits which go into the pockets of the
tarlff-protected and robber manufacturers,
who have made calico so cheap,
the eight dozen chickens might perhaps be
made 70 bring 343 yards of calico.

The reports Of the grand officers of the
Odd Fellows, given in another column, are
we'll worth reading. Secret orders Of this
sort are the greatest charitable associations
of the time. The Odd Fellows In Maine are
an association of nearly 10000 persona,
among whom and by whom over $4,000
were disbursed last year. This money went
to the sick and to the relief of widows and
orphans, among whom it did great amount
of good. 1t is hardly accurate to describe
these associations as charitable. They are
cooperative, where for a small annual sum
the member may insure himself and family
against the expenses of sickness and contin
gencies of death,

such as depreciation of property n the

unanimously approved.

What the Board of State Charities Says Ought
to Be Done to Prevent Abuses of the Law.

The Board of State Charities held q meet
ing yesterday to consider the request of the

resentatives, asking for evidence in regard
to the alleged mismagement of the northern
prison. The board suggested several I'M

the warden should be doubled,
the member OF the board said,
and $500 made q minimum limit.
The earnings of the prison have not been
turned over to the State for many years,
and the board suggested that possibly the
appropriations for the maintenance of the
institution were not large enough. 1t was
recommended that no improvements be
made in the prison without the sanction of
the Legislature. and all operations of the

PLEA FOR WORKING WOMEN.
Talk About Their Being Ignored on the Worlds
Fair Board-Politics in the Union.

At the regular meeting of the Central
Labor Union. last night. James T. Bowling
was admitted as a delegate of the Saw
makers Union. The differences that have
arisen between the p~aper-hangers and
Chas. l.. Hutchinson were referred to the
grievance committee. A resolution was
adopted inviting Nh. Otto Stechhan to adj
dress the Central union at its next meeting,
and . motion prevailed to the effect that
all addresses made before the body be sub
iect to discussion by members. The first
meeting of every month was set apart for
such addresses. and Msssrs. White. of the
printers, Horn. of the bakers, and Ken
needy, of the s~tone-cutters, were appointed
q committee to secure speakers.
Mrs. Mary Purcell, of the Industrial
League, spoke to the union on .Woman's
of Lady Managers She told what Mrs.
Charlotte Smith had done to nave a
woman's board provided for, and said that
as soon "a this was accomplished the poll
ticians had appointed either their own
wives or persons in no wise identified with
working women. Not one appointed, she
said. had ever Joined in a memorial to Con-
gress, or asked to be heard on the subject
of a woman's board. and the one to whom
more thar anyone else was due the creation
" - ~ OoA wan " Al
now proposed, Mrs. Purcell said. to create
a board of twenty-nine member to repre-
sent the State at the worlds fair, and she
asked that the Legislature be memoralized
to provide that four of the twenty-nine
shall be chosen by labor organizations
from the working women of the State.
The union heard Mrs. Purcell very
.attentively and applauded her remarks.
A motion prevailed referring the matter to
the committee on legislation, with instruc-
tlons to work on the line suggested.
During the brief discussion attending the
motion, the new delegate, Mr.. Bowling. an
ex-member of the City Council, precipi-
tated a little episode that escaped the gem
eral notice of the members. In o loud
voice. bristling with gusto and party
spirit, he announced, without securing rec
ignition from the Chair, that "the House
had passed a resolution this afternoon not
to appropriate 500. 600 for an Indiana ex-
hibit at the worlds fair
Let me correct the brother" said Mrs.
Purcell, 1.-The resolution referred to says
the appropriation will not be passed unless
the force bill is defeated"

bill.'" retorted Bowling, with the same IT.
r~itation of temper.
lyon will please not bring the force bilP
into discussion here" said President Cru
ellie, in q tone of admonltion that politics is
not allowed in the Central Labor Union.
In q talk with q Journal reporter,
after the adjournment. Mrs. Purcell told
him that she heard the Democrats had set
their plans to send Bowling to the Central
Labor Union, but that she had not had
time to warn the members OF the scheme.
