A sEowIse GRIEVANCE.

Advancing civilization and general pros
peritv have their drawbacks as well as
their advantages. In the United States
one OF the most trying Of these Is the
difficulty Of securing good domestic
service. Naturally enough, the increase
of this difficulty keeps pace with the
improvement In the general condition OF
the people. For many years our people
have been compelled 10 place chief reliance
in this respect upon immigrants from
foreign lands, and these as they become
assimilated soon imhibe the native preiu-
dice against this method of making live
hhood
But it is a surprise TO learn from
Southern papers that their section is
suffering in this respect more severely
than any other. II has been supposed
that in their large colored population they
were peculiarly blessed with an inex-
haustible reserve to draw upon. But it is
stated that among the brighter Of the
colored people, especially as they become
educated, there is a great and growing
distaste for domestic service. Many of the
young men incline to the learned pro-
LESSONS, or to clerical employments. and
thousands are becoming factory operatives.
The young women exhibit a preference
for typewriting and the like, or draw the
line at semptress or nursery maid, and
are as ayerse as are the white girls to
cooking, scrubbing or the laundry.
But the presence of the colored people,
and the prevailing idea that they were pre-
ferred and relied upon, has exerted an in
fuence to prevent white immigration Of
the classes inclined to such service, and
race prejudice has kept out others who are
not inclined to compete with colored peo-
pie. Thus two causes have combined to
discomfort southern would-be employers;
the presence of the negroes. but the whites,
while in constantly increasing numbers
the negroes are declining TO accept domes-
tic service.
These facts are being advertised in the
North and abroad by the southerners, with
a view to the division Of desirable classes
desiring such employment. and it is quite
likely TO have considerable effect. The re-
has been standard cause of complaint in
the North must become shorter. If so, the
tariff question. the silver question and all
similar issues viii become Insignificant in
comparison with the domestic service ques-
ton.
In this view cooperation is likely to
make many new converts. Cooperative
kitchens and laundriss, as things are going,
must soon become necessities. And they
are conveniences and economies which it
were well worth while to commence think
ing about and preparing for. Because the
principle is not applicable to all of the af-
fairs of life, il is not to be inferred that it is
applicable to none. Within reasonable
limits it can be made blessing, notwith-
standing the fact that in its application to
unreasonable efforts it has in many cases
proven blank failure. 1t is worth while
TO consider how far this principle can be
safely applied to the alienation Of the do
nestle service grievance.

Horrible sra,e of Things.

LONDON, Sept. ga circular has
been issued by the minister of the interior
which enumerates thirteen governments
in which the people are completely fam
inc stricken and eight in which partial
famine prevails. The great fair which is
annually held at Mini Novgorod and at
tended by merchants and dealers from all
parts of Russia, was a failure this year.
This was due to the enormous number of
bankrupts and their consequent with
drawal from trade. In many villages the
peasants have nailed up their huts and
have left their communes to scour the
country in search of work. Hundreds of
them have failed in their search and are
begging along the roadsides. In numer
GUS cases seed corn which was furnished
the peasants by the government has been
eaten instead of being planted and the
land is living fallow. Notwithstanding the
terrible condition of the peasants, taxes
continue to be extorted from the starving
people. Everything is taken from them
to satisfy the demands of the tax gather
ers. Where the peasants display any I'M
willingness to pay taxes the collectors
resort to physical means to extort money
from them. The knout is extensively
employed by the officials of the tax col
lectors department of Russia.

RoME, Sept. GA grand and i'm
posing religious ceremony took place this
morning in St. Peters church. Fol- some
days past the pope has been receiving the
bodies of religious pilgrims from various
countries and the city is filled with devout
PILGRIMS, many OF whom have travelled a
long distance to paw honor to the earthly
head OF the Catholic church. When it
was announced that the pope in person
would celebrate low mass this morning,
great eagerness was manifested by throngs
OF pilgrims to attend the services. Sixty
thousand people were ID the church. At
$40 o'clock the pope was carried to the
throne at the pontiical ALTAR. He was
attired in pure white vestments and wore
upon his head the papal tiara. He carried
in either hand fans which resembled
beautiful palm leaves. As the head Of
the procession entered the church the
trumpeters of the Swiss gtfard heralded
the pope's approach. As the pope was
borne along above the heads of the
assembled thousands he raised his hands
and bestowed benedic,ions right and left
until he reached the altar. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed.

HANOVER, N. H., Sept. 29.-Late last
night a woman with a veil over her face
and wearing a long circular cloak went 10
the house of A. II. Warden, father OF
Christie Warden, recently murdered by
Frank Almy, and without any prelimi-
nary said: 81 came up here to stay to-
night. l want to see Christie's room aud
sleep in her bed. am a friend" The
family we're startled but allowed the wo-
man to come into the house. She said
she would explain all in the morning.
Oscar Warden. brother of A. III. War
den, noticed the visitor had a
masculine appearance aud suddenly
he seized her hands. After a sharp
struggle the circular was removed, disclos-
ing a person in full male evening attire.
The intruder then declared she was DR..
Mary Walker, became excited, said she
had come to save Andrew Warden's lite
and would make further explanations in
the morning. The family was still suspi-
cious and concluded to sit up with the
woman until morning. Oscar Warden
felt SO confident that the person wa a
man and had c~onfederates about that he
and a neighbor stood guard all night
before the house armed with shotguns.
About 2 a. m. steps we're heard by the
outside watchers but the barking OF
a dog frightened away whoever made
them. The alleged DR.. Walker made some
attempts to identify herself BY showing
W receipts for registered letters bearing
the name DR.. Mary Walker, some
baggage checks from a Boston hotel, also
s75 IN cash. Persons asserting they
know DR.. Mary Walker state this person
is not she. The intruder later volunteered
this information: This Almy they have
arrested is not the man who killed
Christie Warden"
WooDsvILLE, N. H., SEPT. 20
Frank @. Almy was a~rraigned and
pleaded not guilty OF the murder of
Christie Warden this afternoon.

A FRANTIC RACE.
Three Thousand Men and
Women on the Run.
The Town of Chandler Opened
For Settlement Yesterday.
Several Persons Reported
Killed in the Mad Stampede.

GUTHRIE, .. T.. Sept. 29.-Couriers
arriving this afternoon gave the details
of the opening of the government town
site of Chandler in the Sac and Fox
reservations. The site was opened to set
Element at IL o'clock yesterday and the
scene which followed the volley of mus
kerry which announced the opening was
awful. A mass of 5000 men and women
intent upon securing lots had gathered
about the boundry of the town. AT IL
o'clock sharp the signal was given and
with a mighty yell from 5000 threats and
amid the cracking of whips and volleys OF
oaths, shouts and curses, the conglomer-
ate mass of men and women on horses
and afoot rushed like maniacs for the
town lots. As the angles OF the ad-
y~apciug lines met many Of the riders
were endorsed and hurled pell nell into
the road.
Many persons are reported killed and
others as having received severe injuries.
Miss Daisy, representative OF the Guthrie
Nc,os, was thrown from her horse at the
beginning OF the race and striking her
head on a rock was killed. The ex
cited and merciless crowd had no time to
attend to the dying and rode over the
body of the unfortunate woman, until it
was recognized by a friend, who took it
out Of the surging mass of humanity. As
there were three or four times as many
people as lots the result could be easily
foretold. There are from three to six
claimants for a great many of the good
lots and it will take considerable time to
adjust the differences. An Indian killed
a white man during a quarrel over liquor

Is Alum Poisouousf
Halls Journal OF Health.

This question has caused a good deal
of discussion. Alum is used by many
bakers to whIten their bread, enabling
them to use an inferior -four. 1t is most
extensively employed as a cheap substi-
tute for cream of tartar in the manufac-
ture of baking powders. 1t has not been
considered Immediately dangerous; al
though it continued it induces dyspepsia
and obstinate constipation. But the fact
that many cases of poisoning have &C.
CURED from the use of alan. puts the
question in a more serious aspect, and
prudent people will exercise caution in
the selection of baking powders"
Under what conditions then. does this
substance-formerly used only for me-
cbanical or medicinal purposes-become
p%oisonous2 They are certainly obscure.
and at present we can only surmise what
they may be. We suspect that the cause
exists in the individual poisoned; some
popularity Of the constitution producing a
morbid change in the secretions of the
stomach. with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or the secre-
tons may be healthy but in unusual pro-
portions. and that these less or greater
proportions in combination with the alum
constitute a poison"
For example, two parts of mercury
aud two parts of chlorine OF calomel,
which is not poisonous. but change the
proportions to one part mercury and two
parts of chlorine. aud we get corrosive
sublimate, which is deadly poison.
Then again We know nothing of the
constitutional pe~culiarities. Why is it
that one person can eat all kinds Of green
fruits and vegetables with IMMUNITY,
while the same course might cost another
individual his life? One person can
handle poison ivy and sumac without be-
ing in the least affected; another is
poisoned ii he approaches to within ten
feet of them. Out Of a family residing
in a malarial district, some OF the mem
bers will suffer halt the year with fever
and ague, while the others will enjoy ex-
cellent health during the entire year.
Foods that are wholesome to some per-
sons are actually poisonous to others.
This is especially true OF some kinds of
fish. There is no safety in taking alum
into the stomach, as it is shown to be al
ways injurious. aud often dangerous"
The Scientific american published in a
recent. number a list OF alum and am
monia baking powders, which is OF great
value at this time. Following is the list
compiled from official reports. Powders
marked with a star seem, to have "A

between GEORGETOWN and Salmon falls.
Farm houses and all o%utbuildinRs have
been destroyed. Thirty or forty families
lost everything they possessed, barely
escaping with their lives. The little
mining town OF Pilot Hill was literally
