Women in Business.

Women are represented in nearly every
branch of business known in New York.
There are numerous dealers in groceries.
dry goods, fancy goods, gloves and hosiery,
house furnishing articles, carpets, corsets
and clothing; several florists, furriers,
pawnbrokers, undertakes, paper dealers;
importers of linen, laces and feathers, brio
a-brac and antiquities, china, glass and per.
fumes, and dozens of other branches Of
employment in which they are engaged to
a greater or less extent As a class they do
not venture into wholesale business, pre-
ferring small profits and less risks, but the
splendid success of very many of these wide
awake business women ought to furnish
an inspiration to others of their sex, per
maps equally capable but less energetic,
who toll on in poverty and obscurity.

Mrs. hairs idea of Unwedded People.


Mrs. Florence Howe Hall, who is one of
the talented daughters of Mrs Julia Ward
Howe, says that IN her opinion two causes
are contributing to keep women from mar
rage. The first, and in my opinion the
more important, is the influence of rela-
ives. Sometimes it is a mother who can
not part with her son, and so induces him
To break off 4 match; sometimes a father
who wishes to keep his daughter with him
as was the case with the father of Eliza
beth Barrett Browning. He never forgave
her for committing matrimony). Now ii is
married sister who prevails upon her sis
ter to remain single or drives away a suitor
il order that her relatives property may
al 90 to her own children; and again an
engagement fails to come to anything be-
c. use the fiance must support his mother
and sisters.
The second cause affects women who
are used TO admiration, and who hesitate
to resign its eXcitements. They often neg
lect their first and best opportunities for
marriage, imagining they viii have still
better chances, and hesitate later to make
disadvantageous matches or marry men for
wlom they Go not feel affection
Some women are unwilling to marry n
poor man, and yet are too upright to wed
n rich man whom they cannot love and
respect"

Soak Whalebones.

1t is said to be good plan to soak whale
bones few moments in warm water in
order to make them flexible and conform
to the figure when put in the castings
Nothing that has ever been introduced to
take the place of whalebones is perfect
success. Be careful to use thin, flexible
whalebone- Remember if you are a short
woman that you must not insist on having
your waist made as long as if you were
taller. Nothing is more awkward than a
long waist on a short woman. 1t is easy to
remedy such a defect in your figure by
raising the waist line in the dress.-New

Perhaps you do not know that you can
get pieces of almost any stove which has
been made in the last thirty years. Make
note of all the letters and figures on your
old stove, and take or send them to some
stove firm of long standing, and they will
tell you if you can get pieces of your stove,
and where; and they cost but little. Have
a set of stove rivets sent with the castings,
for those now in the stove are probably
rusted out, or nearly so, and once out viii
be troublesome to put In again. The new
ones cost but a trifle, and are well worth
while.

LAST NIGHTS LECTURE.

Mrs. Major Scott as announced spoke
on ''Woman's part in the Temperance
work, last night to fine audience.
She prefaced her address by saying:
''The managing editor of a large daily
paper in New York said to one of his
lady reporters, go and find out why
women want prohibition? Why should
she not? The editor was broad and
catholic in his views; he was just and
fair to his readers. He personally,
might care but little for our cause; he
did not encourage prize fighting, yet, the
columns of his paper were open to those
that did. His department had full ac-
counts of suicide, street brawl, riot !;
all the details of murder, and many
other things repugnant to numerous
readers. His paper sold for five cents,
or SO much a year, and he knew he had
readers who did cal for religious, moral
and temperance news, SO he consulted
the tastes and wishes of this class as
well as the others and so his publisher
agreed to furnish local news at least to
the subscribers he could see no excuse
why temperance news or information
should be excluded to the monopoly of
other matter, so he said, go and find
out why women want prohibition. :"
In calm, deliberate manner, voice well
m odulated to the acoustic properties of
the room, she gave to her audience
woman's reason for prohibition. 1t was
plainly evident that the audience was in
fI1lI cUnTathU u-ith tho olyar
gave the best of attention throughout
the lecture. Major Scott gives the last
lecture tonight. ''Foot prints on the
bright side of the Temperance reform"
is its title.

The Rai1road Must Paw.

A verdict for 5000 damages was rem
dered in the court of common pleas
against the Western Maryland Railroad
company and in favor of Mrs. Mary A.
Herold. The accident for which dam
ages were claimed occurred on Sept. II,
1885, at the Wilson Sanitarium grounds.
Mrs. Herold had taken a child to the
sanitarium to spend the day, and in the
evening with others boarded the car,
which had been left on switch Some
one, presumably a child, released the
brake, and the car started down small
incline toward the main track A panic
ensued among the passengers, and Mrs.
Herold, who was then 63 years old,
jumped to the ground, breaking her
right shoulder blade and left leg. The
verdict was for the full amount claimed.
Col. Charles Marshall, counsel for the
railroad, gave notice that he would ap-
ply for new trial.-Baltimore Sun.

Arkwrieht,s Old Mill Burned.

A calamity has fallen upon Cromford.
The historic old cotton mill, where Ark
wright first set up his cotton spinning
machinery, caught fire, and, though six
fire engines played upon it, nothing
could be saved. A large portion Of the
mill has long been standing empty, as
the motive power (water) was made
quate, but for the last seven years Mr..
Charles Hill, of Bridge House, Cronn-
ford, has used one portion of it for fin
ishing and storing the goods made at
his factories at Via Celia and Milford.

and walls have given way, but the
houses near have been saved.-Pall Mall

chopped or HI. own Hand by Aee,dea..

Chopped on His Own Hand by Accident.
Graham T. Holtzclaw, well knowu
young attorney, cut off his own left
hand with a hand ak. He had arrived
home late for breakfast with a steak
which he desired the cook, Mary, to pre-
pare for him. In good natured way
he told her that if she would cook the
steak he would cut some kindling. With
milestone he sharpened hand ak,
the blade of which is about five inches
broad, and proceeded to cut the kin
ding.
Taking soggy piece of pine block, he
held it upright on the chopping block,
and aimed a heavy blow to split it. The
block slipped as the ak blade descended,
and the young mans left hand was
thrown under the blade. The blade
struck his wrist at the joint, and the
hand was completely severed, rolling to
the ground beside the block.
Holtzclaw seized the stump of the left
arm in his right hand and called for
help. The cook, with great. presence of
mind, held the arm between both of her
hands tightly, stopping the squirting
blood, and the injured young man called
for string. With a stout cord the
stump of the arm was tied so as to
efectually prevent bleeding. -Chatta-

BURNED TO DEATH.
One OF the Oldest Citizens of Boyd
Perishes in the Flames.

One OF the Oldest Citizens of Boyd
Psrishes in the Flames.
Thursday night near Boyd a fire was
noticed near Mr.. E. S. Haage's place, and
as Mr.. Haage did not come after his
mail for several days the neighbors went
to his place yesterday and found his
house burned and his charred remains
among it's ruins. There is no means of
ascertaining anything concerning the
matter, as he was bachelor and lived
alone. He was member of the g. A. R.
A coffin was sent out this morning and
the remains of the unfortunate man will
be buried today.
Since writing the above we learn that
Mr.. Haage had been to Dufur Thursday
and from the appearance of affairs, when
he got home he first built fire and then
went to take care of his horses, these
when found were unhitched but had
their harness on, and it is supposed that
while unhitching them he discovered
that his house had caught fire and left
them to put it out, and that on entering
the house the ceiling fell on him. A
bucket filled with water was found near
where the door had been, which adds
strength to this theory, as he probably
first intended to try and save the house
and then giving this up set the water
down and made an attempt to save some
of his possessions. He served in the
Fifteenth regiment of the regular army
during the war as commisary sargeant
