but as matter Of political economy the
situation is encouraging. A servile
class is convenience for Gousekeepers
and people in good circumstances, but
it is bad thing for country and
converse of that proposition-thas the
absence Of a servile class is a good
things likewise true. Wealth is in.
creasing and the demand for domestic
servants increases with it; while the
supply Of such servants diminishes
with the increasing opportunities for
the use Of labor, time and skill in other
directions, with the increase of educa-
ton among the masses of the people
and with the continuance and devel-
opment of the American spirit of liber-
ty Of action and independence that re-
volts against servitude and the kind Of
personal service to which instinct more
than reason attaches degradation. The
same causes operate, but in less degree,
among the colored people in the South.
Good servants become scarcer every
year. In the country few families,
however wealthy, pretend to have
more than one servant because most OF
the negroes are farming for themselves
or raising families of their own, and it
is nearly as bad (or gcod) in the citl IS
The women Of the better and more in
telligent class marry and the men go
into the shops or mechanical employ
ments or the hotels as walters and, as
a rule, it is only the ignorant, the
stupid or the shiftless who care to
"hire out"; and, as at the North, even
they soon learn their own value, un-
derstand that they can secure work
with recommendation or without it
and do not trouble themselves to please
their employers.
We do not know, as practical pro-
position, but that the country would
be good deal better if each family was
compelled to do all its own domestic
work. The idea is not entirely pleasant
to any of US. There would be less ease
and leisure and less opportunity for
pleasure than there now is. It Is not
unlikely, however, that there would be
more real comfort and satisfaction all
around than we now enjoy. Domestic
matters would be more simpllfed and
regulated. A great deal Of waste would
be avoided, along with no end ofworry.
And if electricity comes in, as it most
likely will, to make the cooking Of
meals and the lighting and heating OF
houses matter of seconds without dust
or dirt, wood cutting, coal carrying or
any more heat than is exactly neces-
sary; and if the same agent, ofexhaust-
less resources, performs the manY otber
wonders (which it seems &2paoie ID
the way Of carrying messages, opening
doors and multitudinous household
services, it may be that the domestic
servant may be numbered with other
extinct species and relics of barbarism
without being at all missed.

MISS DREXEL'S RETIREMENT.
Her Final Religious Vows to be Taken on
Feb. 12-Her Income $50,0o,0oO a
Yeal.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-Miss Ca
tharine NJ. Drexel, daughter ofthe late
F. \. Drexel, who has been at the Con-
vent of the Sisters of Mercy in Pitts
burgh for about year and half, will
make her profession on Thursday, Feb.
y. at the house of the order in Pitts
burgh. This step, while not absolutely
final, is regarded as decisive of Miss
Drexel's intentions. Her retirement to
the convent at first was in the nature
of trial. She. has been very happy
with the regular routine of charitable
deeds and its offices ofprayer, and even
her friends have no doubt that the
ceremonial of Feb. u will mark her
retirement from the world for the re-
malndcr of her life. Only relatives and
a few intimate friends will be present
at the ceremony.
Miss Drexel's object in taking the
religious vows of al order which she is
to found, is to establish means of educa-
tional and religious work among the
Indians and colored people, and she pro-
poses to devote herincome, known to be
much more than 100000 year: to the
work of her order. One Of the eXecu-
tors of the Drexei estate says that, as
Superior of of the new order, Miss
Drexel will retain personal control Of
her fortune. The estate of the late f.
A. Drexel was left In trust for his
daughter during life. Her income, it is
said, has not been allowed to accumu-
late, all three sisters having long pur-
sued the course of giving large sums in
aid Of various enterprises of the Roman
Catholic Church.
During the year and half of her
noyitiate Miss Drexel has worn the
garb of the Sisters of Mercy and shared
their work. She has in that time paid
several visits to this city, stopping at
the convent of the order at Broad street
and Columbia avenue instead of at the
family residence. During each stay here
she hasreceived number of her friends,
looking paler, with her features some
what worn by the ascetic life Of the
order, but bright and cheerful, convers-
ing with her wonted cordiality and
simplicity of manner, During all the
time that Miss Drexel has been no.
vice and privileged to turn back from
her religious life, many who know her
have thought that she might decide
not to take the final step, but that
eypectation is now abandoned.

thing they had and got in one boat and
sailed down the stream together, but
nowadays it is not uncommon to hear
| a married woman talk about her mouse
and her farm, and her crop, and her
bank account. It is all well enough
for woman to keep what she inherlts,
out wouldn't play second fiddle to no
woman upon earth if she ever said
''this is mine" to me. 1t dwarfs man
in the estimation of his children for
their mother to have the biggest pile.
Pa is of no consequence if ma has got
tho money. I have known boys to
grow up and sue for property their
parents sold to raise them on, just be-
cause there was a flaw in the papers.
They had no respect for their father.
The property came in between them
and him and they dishonored him and
brought disgrace upon themselves. l
have seen rich men made richer and
their victims baukrupted by these in
famous suits and l have my doubts
whether it benefits the State or its citl-
zens for anybody to own anything in
town. Legal theft is as dishonorable
as illegal theft. It's a sort of larceny
after trust and those who are guilty OF
it leave legacy to their children,
legacy of property acquired through
parents infamy. Children should be
raised to believe that their father is
their best friend and the best man in
the world so far as they are concerned.
This is the true parental relation and If
one of mine should seek to undo any
thing that I have done in tt gard to
property I would hide my head IN
shame that such child was ever born
to me. "Children obey your parents,
for this is right.n "Honor thy father
and thy mother" saith the Scripture.
One day a father and his child were
riding In wagon when the horse ran
away and overturned the wagon just
as he got loose from the harness. The
father was thrown into ditch but the
little girl was found safe and sound
under the wagon body. She smiled as
they took her out and said, II knew
my pa wouden't letme get hurt" That
is the faith, the trust, the love that
child should have in the parent. The
expectation of getting property when
the old man dies is a drawback upon
the child's affection. 1t is an insidious,
poisonous temptation and too frequent
ly paralyses filial love and respect. And
so the law of compensation comes in
and blesses the poor man in the loving
devotion of his children. If all that
he has to give them comes from his
daily le1or, his sweat and his toll. they
have more hope in his life than in his
death, and nature fills their heart swith
love for him. It is an Arabian proverb
that "The heritage of the poor is the
love Of their children" Then let no
maa envy the rich for they are in peril,
but rather let us be content to breathe
the prayer of Azar, the prophet, and
saw, 'Give me neither poverty nor
riches.n BILL ARP.

THE REV. SAM JONES IN A FIGHT.
He Telegraphs That he Kas Eeaten Mayor
Who Started Out to Cane Him.

ATLANTA, February 3.-The follow
ing telegram was received hare to-day
from the Rev. Sam Jones, the Georgia
evangelist, who is in Oakwoods, Texas
"The one-gallus Mayor of Palestine,
Texas, tried to cane your uncle Jones
this morning at the depot. I wrenched
the cane from him aud wore him out.
I am little disfigured, but still in the
ring. I criticised his official career last
November. 1t needed criticising"
DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR.
PALESTINE, TEX, Februry Sat a
series of meetings held here in No.
vember last the Rev. Sam Jones, of
Gainesville, Ga, excited much com
ment and enthusiasm, both for the
large number of conversions he effected
for various reli ,ious denominations and
for the vigorous manner in which be
assailed sinners in general and several
individuals III particular.
Among the latter who were sharply
rebuked by the Evangelist was Mayor
J. J. Ward, to whose official and pri-
vate character be alluded in the severest
and most pointed terms. The mayor
was absent from the city at the time
and the announcen ent that the we'll
known evangelist would be here again
to deliver his lecture, sect there"
caused much excitement and there was
a rush for seats.
Jones arrived on Receiver Bonner's
special car at s o'clock last night and
the lecture was delivered before large
audience in the Opera House.
At the station this morning, just be-
fore the evangelist took the train for
the West, Mayor Ward was seen ap-
preaching. Uttering few words the
mayor then vigorously attacked Jones
with cane. In the struggle the cane
changed hands and the mayor received
several blows. Before the by-standers
could part the angry combatants heavy
bruises were inflicted and both bled
profusely. In a few minutes the train
pulled out of the station with Sam
Zones on board.
Mayor Ward was subsequently ar
rested and placed under bonds for ag-
grsvated assault and for carrying a
pistol. The mayor avows his right to
carry weapons and declares be had no
intention of carrying his resentment
further than Gaming Jones.
WHAT THE MAYOR SAYS.
ST.. LOUIS, Feb 6.-Mayor J. J.Ward
or FaIesuur; 1exas, to-day comes out
with card in which he says the trou-
BILE between Rev. Sam. Jones and him
self was on account Of a personal mat
ter and not because the evangelist
criticised his official action. The Mayor
says: "While Jones was here he took
it upon himself to refer in the most
insulting language to my private life
and habits before my wife and chill
dren, hence my attack upon him. AS
for my official conduct that is open to
the scrutiny of right-minded men,"

% Vot.rs-Intsrssting Official Facts
and Figures

This morning the REGISTER presents
another official evidence Of the growth
of Wheeling.
The complete returns of the city as
SCISSORS are in, and the footings show q
gain of s643,213 in taxable wealth.
while the number of capitations shows
a decrease OF twenty-three names, a
showing which is emphatically open
to criticism, especially as regards the
Island, where sixty-nine less
capitations are shown, in the face OF a
large increase in the population. The
same objection applies with great force
to the First and Second wards.
AS was remarked ten days ago, the
increase in taxable wealth does not In
clude the ularge number OF costly
buildings dwellings and business
blocks-now in course OF completion,
and representing an outlay OF fully
half-a-million dollars.
These figures will not come In until
the assessment of 1892 is made, the
totals of which will reach nearly or
fully S19,500,000.
