WOMEN N GOVERNMENT OFFICES,

Secretary Chase Appointed tho FIRST one

ate the pfactice OF employing women NJ
clerks In the departments. The frt hp.
tointee was Miss X. !. Wilson. She wa.
appointed by SECRETARY Chase. Sept. u.
ISL, upon hls own motion, aud nszlgned TO
duty In that branch Of the treasury which
l. known n. THE senrctary's Office"
The second appointment, OF Miss n. G.
Kellar, was made April 4. i-i9 She was
assigned TO duty In the aecrctnry's Office,
but Ia the month Of October, isgl, aho WIS
transferred TO the trcasurrr's bureau. and
nj the same time two additional appoint.
polntmehtA wcre made by the SECRETARY,
aud the nppointecs were assigned 10 duty
under the treasurer.
Ia the years isGi-e-3 there were only
twelve women appointed In the treasury
department. OF these ono was IN the secrc.
tAry's office, 1--WE. including QUE Transferred,
were IN the treasury. four were In the regis.
tcr's bureau. and two werc Ia the Internal
revenue oiiice. All these appointments
were made BY Secretary Chase; but two at
them, one of April 4, isss2, aud one Of July

dalton Of General spinner.
A. the appointments were made BY Score

had thopower 10 exclude women altogether.
the chief credit would seem 10 Ia due 10
him. II l. tradition Of the department,
supported, indeed. by the knowledge Of
many persons, that General Spinner was an
early and earnest advocate Of the new
policy. but Il Ia also true that the twelve
women employed Ia the years nained gave
such proofs Of intelligssre, fidelity and
capacity that tho EXCLUSIVE Of the scx IL.
enuie an impossibllity.
The fact may bs worthy Of notice. and
especially worthy Of notice by those who
have been led TO believe that Il Is the iirrt
and chirt business Of every administration
n make removals. that Of the twelve
women appointed previous 10 Jan. I. 1854,
ten arr even now In office. Two Of thess
are paid n salary Of sou each, six are upon
n salary Of u 900 each, and OF the two ro-
naming onc rccclyes a salary OF o. 900 and
the other a salary Of Of so.
In those thirty years the number Of
women employed by the government Ia.
increased To many Thousands. In all tho
various duties imposed upon them thcy
have shown adequate capacity, and In faith
fulncss they are not inferior 10 the men
who arr engaged la similar servlcrs. II
may be assumed that each year will en-
large the sphere Of their labors aud add u
their compensation, which. speaking gen
orally, Is not equal TO the pay OF men en-

THE Journal did not particularly
distinguish itself by its treatment of
the leading local and State events of
the week. One was the laying Of the
corner stone of the Trenton Battle
Monument yesterday-an enterprise
which has engaged the services of
New Jerseys most prominent and
and patriotic men during the past de-
cade. and in behalf of which not only
the State Legislature but the Con-
gress of the nation has zealously
worked; and the other was the initial
work in the building of the big
bridge that is to span the Hudson
one OF the greatest engineering enter
prizes the world has ever seen, and
one which is destined to be crowned
with success.
Yet each of these great features of
the public news of the day our enter
prising contemporary dismissed with
the briefest sort of paragraphs
enough, sven. to tell the bare facts.
But such is journalistic enterprise
with a chill on. and not even a Furst
blanket handy.
The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1891-12-27

Nothing Is more likely to perplex the
English visitor to Ireland than to find En-
glish words used there in different
sense from that In which he has been ac-
customed all his life to use them. One Of
the best known examples, perhaps, that
could be cited is the peculiar sense in
which the word boy is used, being in
fact. equivalent to the English .'bachlor."
A young man is s'boyp until he is
married, and though less widely, "girl"
is used in Il similar way to denote SPINS
ter. To foreign" ear it sounds ludi-
crons to hear gray-haired man or woman
spoken of as a hoy" or ''girl,' but to
one accustomed to the country the fuller
meaning is clear. If it is intended to con-
vey the idea OF youth as q rule quite a
different expression is used-it will be a
wee chap" .'gosson." n lad" or, for
