ONT of Work.

At rough estimate Il, 900 young wo-
men were thrown out of employment the
last Of the year from the retaildry goods
stores Of New York city. One firm alone
dismissed /, 100 women and girls and an
other 700. These unfortunate Little mar
tyrs of commerce and circumstances
were for the most part '-extras," hired
in November and December for the hoh-
day trade at salaries that barely paid for
car fare, lunches and the, wear and tear
of clothing. One manager, when ap-
preached on the subject, said: 81 was
ashamed to tell girl who wanted amen
gagement the wages, and 20 dismissed
her. II was less than her living would

A STRANGE CASE.

Many people in the city remember
Charles Jaus, who with Charles Balance
were formerly in the stone business here.
The two gentlemen dissolved partnership
last summer, Mr.. Balance going to
Omaha, and Mr. Jaus pulling up the
plant, machinery, etc, which he retained
and shipping it to Fort Worth, Tex. The
entire plant made train load and the
freight was over s.. coo.
After shipping the machinery Mr.. Jaus
never showed up in Fort Worth, and the
goods were offered for sale a few days ago
by the railroad for the freight.
Mr. Jaus formerly lived in Peoria, H.,
and was at one time a member of the coun-
ell of that city The chief Of police at the
request of friends wrote to Chief Burrows
here to see if any trace of Mr.. Jaus could
be obtained, his friends fearing that he had
been foully dealth with.
Mr. Burrows made inquiry of several
and finally ran across Chas. Luling, who
had Just returned from Texas. Mr.. Lul-
lug stated that he met Mr.. Jaus in Dallas
on the 5th of February and that he seemed
to be all right mentally but was doing

DIR. MILLER's "sHAMS."

The auditorium Of the First NJ T.
church was filled last evening with an
audience OF refined and intelligent people
to listen to the lecture by Rev. DR.. George
w. Miller, of Kansas City, on the subject
OF "Shams."
The speaker handled his subject in a
manner that showed most conclusively
that he was master of the question, and
had devoted much thought 10 the prepare
ton of the lecture. The different subjects
of the lecture were handled without
gloves. and the various shams that people
imagine are known 10 10 one were laid
bare.
The society shsm, the political sham.
the religious sham, including the intdel
aud agnostic. were treated 10 a dose OF
speakers fine ridicule and exquisite irony.
The sham talker was shown up and made
TO appear ridiculous, and the political
demagogue was so thoroughly held up TO
public gaze and ridiCule that all felt Ger
tain amount Of contempt for this target of
the speakers shafts
The lecture abounded IN much that was
instructive mingled with enough OF pure
humor 70 make the audience forget how
long they were listening. The speaker
occupied considerable over an hour, but so
interested were the entire audience that
they would willingly sat another hour
under the spell OF SO brilliant mind.

engagement in this city be viii 10 doubt

OUR VALENTINE.

To p v Healy on his birthday, Feb, II, ISL.
February chill and cold,
From the winter growing old,
When mothers arms enfold
A pretty little V alentine.
IT'S Cupid, and his dart
Drives an arrow through each heart,
Whom Of this household forms part
OF this little Valentine.
All who come within his sight,
Ruled he. with hand OF might;
What he done they thought it right,
This roguish little Valentine
Grew he up our JOY and pride.
We walked together side by side,
Neither needing time or tide,
With our darling Valentine.
Years sped along as they always do,
And Cupid, TO his art still true,
or stealing hearts where e'er he few.
Stole our darling Valentine.
And now a husbands place he holds.
And in his arms form entolds,
And shelters her from winters colds,
Her own, her dear. true Valentine.
And may each recurring year
Bring them both all needfui cheer,
Birthdays may they oft see here,
OF our darling Valentine;
And may Father Time remain
Far away with care and pain,
And with Joy sing this refrain:
Viola. Viola Valentine. NJ E
