For Her Parents-She Dresses as q Man
and Works Like One.

HAzLEToN, PA, July IA. - For
months past the laborers in one Of the
gangs working on the new railroad that
is being built near here, have had a
suspicion that one OF their number was
not a man, but a woman. Their sus-
pIcions were aroused by his
effeminate appearance and the fact
that his hands blistered up and caused
him much trouble when he first began
to work. A few days ago newly land
ed italian secured a job and was put to
work in the same gang as the supposed
woman and soon recognized her as the
daughter of neighbOr in Italy.
The woman burst. into tears and con-
fessed that she did it for her fathers
and mothers sake. She said she came
here a year ago for the purpose OF earn
ING money enough to bring them to this
co1ntrv. She worked for a family In
Now York, but the pay was so small
Che became discouraged and deter
mined to dress as man. She SAID
She had about enough money now saved
nm and was willing to quit il the boss
desired. but she was told to work
swav. and this she has been doing. She
is Known rs No. II, and is described as
beinr about % years old, is fairly good
looking, and lives in hut by herSeil on
the outskirts OF the town.

PHILADELPHIA, July 14.-John Bards-
ley is now learning the trade OF car
penter. he was yesterday removed
from his cell on the second gallery OF
the fourth corridor to the third corridor.
The cell he now occupies will in all
probability be the one In which he will

then he will be taken to the hospital, or
II he is given other work he will be put
where it will be the most convenient

a number between 5000 and 6,000. 1t
may be 5000, but the classification will
be ga" If this is his number he will
be known as ga 5000" He is now en-
gagged in making small boxes. These
boxes will be used to hold the 'scraps"
left over from the prisoners meals.
He is given the wood and the
measurement of the box. His duty then
is to make one like the sample. He has
to plane the wood, make it into the
proper length and put it together. He
will also try his hand at making small
boxes, In which the inmates OF the
prison can keep their pepper and salt.
Warden Cassidy last night refused to
divulge the number by which Bardsley
will be known. He said: "Bardsley Is
dead to the world now, and it Is only
hurting his family to keep his name
constantly before the public. He is only
one of many here and is treated on the
same footing.

Der Of any prisoner"

possible to accommodate all. The new
men are looked more carefully after, TO
see what they are capable Of, before
any one is put in the cell with them.

wArrERsoN FRIENDLY TO HILL.
He Answers Some Charges made Against
Him-A Crisp Reply.


LOUISVILLE, KY, July 14.-In the
Courier Journal this morning Hon.
Henry Watterson answers a recent
Washington letter in the New York
World. In this letter occurs this pas
sage: "Watterson's personal dislike OF
Governor Hill may justifably be very
strong"
Mr.. Watterson says: "The editor OF
the Courier Journal has not the smallest
personal dislike Of Governor Hill. II
the Governor and his friends are salts
fed with the episode referred to, as
suredly Mr.. Watterson has no des-
Ire to disturb their eQuanimity. In the
meantime, however, he does not regard
the Governor as probable, perhaps not
even possible Democratic nominee for
President in June, 1892, and for the fol-
lowing reasons. These reasons con-
densed are: First-that there is wide
spread feeling, unfounded though 1t be,
that Cleveland was defeated by some
deal in New York with which Hill was
connected. Those who believe this NAV
not be turned from following after
Hill, but they will not support
him. In 1880 the party relinqushed
Samuel J. Tllden. But it did not rally
to John Kelly. The cases now and
then are, OF course, not parallel, and yet
there is likeness enough to make the
one serve to point the moral OF the
other.
Second: Gov. Hill is not in sympathy
with the great Democratic movement
for tax reform. Where he stands now,
that the issue has been universally ac-
cepted by Democrats and made explicit
and clear is still doubtful, but during
the struggle when there were enemies
inside the party Gov. Hill was the
ensmy of progress.
Governor Hill will be felt In the next
Democratic convention, but on the side
of destruction, not of creation. He
may hope to defeat Cleveland and make
New York decide the final result. This
must ''leave the Governor in the un-
peasant role of a managing politician
cold, unfeeling, vengeful and narrow
UNEQUAL to the requirements OF the
hour, or the inspirations OF his party
and the people, merely selfish, short
sighted man, incapable OF sacrifices, OF
generous impulses, or large conceptions
OF any sort"
Governor Hill is not likelihood fol
the nomination. For any HOPE for thai
he must show himself better man than
the country thus far believes him to be-
Governor Hill knows as little OF public
affairs and men as Cleveland did Oh
coming to the Presidency, but is said t(
be bright man. In that case he may
vet profit in time by the kindly though
unpleasant counsel given him.
